I think the reason that this season is doing so well is because everyone has a different personality, but they also are very similar, so they work well together.

The golden answer is the cast is MAKING the season so far, we're finally going back to the era where queens are just being themselves and if they have something to say they just say it, also agree on the social media part. Its just really refreshing after the VH1 era of everyone being terrified of how they would be percieved

[@Killixn_]

Crystal Envy is so funny and is being overlooked a little bit. I can't believe the judges didn't even mention her role as "Tumbleweed". Mostly everyone was funny, but I laughed so hard when Crystal started rolling in the background 😭😭😭

Yeah her runway was fab too, definitely could have won the challenge.

Can we just list what we have gotten in FOUR EPISODES ALONE?! The slaysian Diva of LA Hormona Lisa setting off the "Get to stay" twist on the first damn try and pissing everyone off Hormona Lisa "Did you have to hold your wig up" Lexi Love and Crystal Envy Lipsync A ton of All Stars level quality looks on the runway across the episodes "If she can't win a lipsync against you then what will she do against me" ALL OF Untucked Ep 2 and 3 Jewels Sparkles VS Onya Nerve supplies fight One of the most shocking Porkchops "Why are so many girls crying" One of the best design challenges in terms of the collective quality I didn't even list it all it just keeps going

Star power being the key. She may not have the best runways or the most polished looks, but she brings it every time, such a winner energy.

[@holokristal3819]

I may be alone in this but I’m not a fan of Onya whatsoever

[@AnRuixuan]

I don't necessarily mind Michelle's makeup critique...if it comes at minimum at Episode 4 or later. My problem is when she does it on Episode 1 or 2 like with Dusty in Season 10. In this case, I think it's just the general archetypal critique of "try to push yourself outside your comfort zone"- they don't tell girls with traditional makeup to do this, but they *do* tell girls like that to not be afraid to get ugly and stupid in acting and improv challenges, or to "stop relying on that body" for the skinny queens, for example. Drag Race is testing to see how versatile queens can be, and adapting various makeup styles when the situation calls for it is just one way to do that. Notice how they never tell these outside-the-box girls to switch up their looks, because those girls know how to give a varied and interesting look. They give the makeup critique because some unique mugs can actually hold a look back (ex: Arrietty's makeup in her Talent Show).

[@nicolasf7243]

people have selective memory when it comes to the versatility critiques and only think of when it’s directed at any alternative queen. they told kerri colby she was too pretty and needed to switch it up, something i haven’t seen anyone mention in the arietty discourse.

[@mimipeahes5848]

@@nicolasf7243that was a bad critique, so I don’t blame people for forgetting it.

[@Lorgy2]

​@@nicolasf7243 I suppose they do ask queens to show vulnerability, not to showboat and I think it was Chad they ask to not be so polished or add a bit of grit or something to that affect

[@yveltalsea]

I don't think Arietty's makeup held her look back at all, and I think that's where opinion and bias come into play. I thought she looked absolutely ethereal, and the critique was such a shock to me, especially because her makeup is SO polished.

[@HarryReyes-kp8ji]

i love it because its a strong cast and theyre already setting up a lot of storylines that doesnt just revolve around 1 or 2 people. even if joella who was good tv was just eliminated, there's still a lot of queens there that can provide good tv one way or another.

[@lukewest5577]

Everyone has at least one storyline going on! Even queens with relatively little screen time like Lana and Lydia have alliances going on. And as much as it sucks to have iconic queens go home first and second, it’s good to know that they won’t be forgotten any time soon!

[@Cimmantti]

I think something fun to note is that they broke the "did bad in the non-elimination episode that doesn't matter" and then didn't hold it against the girls! The fact that Acacia and Hormona are still around is super fresh! We didn't just see an episode 1 bottom girl get sacrificed like so many other times on seasons. On top of that, all the girls who were in the top for the design challenge weren't repeats from the talent show! Everybody seems to be getting a fairer shot than they usually do.

[@JayBobert-h1l]

I mean that basically did happen considering joella wasn't even bottom 5 worst commercial....the runway was awful but imo a runway shouldn't land you in the bottom unless it's a design challenge. They pick and choose when runways matter. Stan joella

[@Kryptotight426]

​@@JayBobert-h1l i think they didnt want to keep her anymore bcuz she wouldve flopped next episodes as well so their justification... was that runway

[@MAG-NY-Rican]

12:48 I still cannot get over this teams incorporation of Coco Montrese into the Alyssa Edwards/Jade Jolie back rolls song. When I saw Lana sitting there holding an orange inflatable kiddie pool arm piece over her face, I let out a scream. Like OMG, I got the reference immediately, because Coco Montrese was the only other queen in the room during untucked when their fight went on, and Coco just sat there like "Get her, Jade". 😂😂😂

[@imjustvibinglol]

It's honestly such a refreshing season so far! And unlike most other seasons, ALL of the queens have personality and screentime! I cant think of a single queen i don't like! EXCELLENT CASTING!! Hormona and Lexi just have my whole heart lol!🩵🤍🩷

[@ranotraino]

This season feels more authentic somehow, and I say that as a S15 and 16 enjoyer. Like every queen feels like a real person and not a TV persona like some seasons

[@JustEdgeOfficial]

Onya Nurve is giving that old-school type of drag that we all know and love deeply. And because her drag is so warm and familiar, it makes you want more of her. It's like coming home and having a big blanket and a nice cup of hot cocoa waiting for you. That, and the way she sells herself and is so sure of herself and her drag is unparalleled. She, Suzie and Lexi are my top 3 for sure :D

[@JustEdgeOfficial]

This is also for me the first season in a few years where I legit count the days until the next episode. It's so GOOD!

[@dmoney8017]

That's my top 3 as well

[@Chestnut-xm2pv]

I sympathise with your perspective, but only picking the winners for a top three is shortsighted. Even if you enjoy what they do, separately from the fact they won, I suggest you think more deeply and look around more.

[@rockotako]

@@Chestnut-xm2pvok.

[@JustEdgeOfficial]

@Chestnut-xm2pv who said it's because of their wins?

[@jackl8025]

The frustrating thing about Arrietty's critique is that *she changed her makeup on episode 3* and Michelle loved it. The second she went back to her signature look, Michelle read her and asked for versatility. Girl, you saw it last week, let her breathe!!

[@biminibonbaddie]

plus she had a basic pretty mug in the challenge?? They know she can paint

[@r.goodblood5475]

It truly feels like it's anyone's game. At this point last season I guessed it was either nymphia or saphira's game to win. Season 15 really was dominated by sasha colby. I liked both of those seasons, but this season feels so much more open. It's what I loved most about season 14 and I'm glad to see it.

[@lydiabkollins]

SO excited you’re enjoying it so far 💫✨🩵🩵

[@OMGnancyWTF]

Ya'll are all so fun!!! Ya'll seem like you're just havin a good time and vibing really well. Waiting for the new episode every week feels like waiting for a new Game of Thrones episode did, the HYYYYPE!

[@cuppapablo]

My favorite thing this season is the queens don't seem to edit themselves and are all giving each other shade, but you can tell that they call are vibing with each other as if they have all known each other for years. What bothered me with the makeup critique for Arriety on episode 4 was that Michelle had complimented her the week before for softening it for the design challenge. She already showed you that she's verse Michelle, let her be!

[@daehwii]

You’re so right about the parody commercial challenge. The vibes were so good!! and the tumbleweed was crazy. seeing them work together creatively like that and supporting each other in executing their visions was so endearing. 😭 compared to the choreo challenges or acting challenges where the judges sit there unimpressed when the queens don’t deliver an unfunny line the way they imagined it in their head, it was refreshing.

[@adamthomas4848]

Loved your thoughts on Lexi Love. As a Louisville resident, it's not just fun to cheer her on, but to see her so loved by RPDR fans everywhere! The first time I went to a drag show in Louisville, I saw her and thought, "If anyone from Louisville could make it onto Drag Race, it's her." Who knew she'd not just be on S17 but a favorite to win? (We did, here in Louisville, that's who!)

[@rozemilkteaz371]

I am so happy that queens aren't afraid to be petty, something that has been lacking these last few seasons because they have been so afraid of the fan base. This is a reality show at the end of the day and we NEED those petty arguments

[@FabricioPerez-w3u]

This feels like old school drag race lowkey I’m livingggg

[@spirits9655]

This season really feels fresh and I'm excited every week. It's the second season I actually get to watch live basically. I also live for the cast. I can say something nice about every queen. I enjoyed all of them in some way. I don't care about the twist, but it also doesn't bother me like S14.

[@Hobironii]

I've also been living for Hormona I think she's so funny! But everyone I talk to doesn't like her, it's nice to hear someone else like her!!

[@BrandonJames2016]

Untucked has been a lot more entertaining than it’s been in years. Like these first 4 episodes were so entertaining and most of that was bc of Joella so I don’t think it’ll be as entertaining without her but I am noticing they aren’t letting the guest judges come in every ep since Doechii and the judge for ep 4 didn’t come which is great bc it got tired when the guest judges came in with the same stuff every ep.

I’m obsessed with the last challenge. With them making it themselves it felt so different and so good. I also love this cast so much so I know it’s gonna hurt watching people go home.

[@sophiekenneavy1821]

I agree w all of this and I also love how the part they release early on KZbin has been the picking process for the challenges as well, I’ve never really been a fan of that part because I’ve been so impatient to see the challenge and runway but having it early has made it feel more suspense building

[@sunnybloom7272]

Here so fast I beat the notification but your early season videos are always really good for contextualizing what works and what doesn’t! Oh you’re right about Crystal she’s giving Rose levels of professionalism which may not be the best long term which is annoying cause she’s talented and I hope Arriety knows how much we love her mug

[@nick-elodeon9919]

Drag Race is truly experiencing a renaissance ever since they moved to MTV. UH-mazing previous seasons back-to-back, now we’re just starting off strong (so far)

[@yougotnojams8237]

What’s really working for me is how this cast doesn’t seem afraid to state their minds to us AND to each other. On top of that, the drag delusion is at an all time high with some, and they’re not afraid to rig the competition for their benefit. The cast is just a bunch of Plane Janes and I love that😭😭

[@bugginonthewall]

Okay, so I'm not crazy. I genuinely enjoy this entire cast and season. Everyone is so iconic.

[@josuaritz3934]

It’s so interesting because I also rate a season with how I’m feeling at that time, especially when drag race seasons happen all year round. I tend to not like seasons that air during summer as I’m often in a July/August slump. And love seasons that air during winter, my favorite time of the year.

[@tommasolarghetti]

This season feels very different to me personally, I've drawn the entire cast for the first time and I went to Dragcon UK and I've met all of them backstage and I showed them my drawing and they all recognize it! I was able to kiki with them and it was so fun, and not to mention 5 of them are my age or even younger, it feels like they are my school mates

[@donniehagy5125]

What I have enjoyed most about this season is the Queens can express their opinions with whomever...and nobody goes off to a corner bawling their eyes out. I think it helps everyone to have good "banter" once in a while!

[@mateussteffler]

the cast is AMAZING. and they're all killing in social media. so much fun to watch.

[@missblairr]

I really enjoyed S16 but this season has won my heart so far, it feels like when I connected to the queens of S8 years ago and was entertained and invested in their storylines. So looking forward to what the rest of the season has to offer!!

i’m really loving this season so far! i love everyone on the cast so much and the challenges so far have been great. i don’t find the dunk tank very entertaining rn though because i highly doubt they’d use the second save so early in the season, but later on it will probably excite me more, and im not feeling as negatively about it as i was when it first got revealed. can’t wait to see the rest of the season!!

[@ImmortalBroken]

I'm excited for all the guests Maddy is going to get from these Vegas prize trips.

[@cattfishie]

I haven’t actually watched a drag race season in years but I have actually tuned in this year.

[@gracero444]

When I was watching ep 4 i literally was thinking how good of an episode it was! Them directing themselves and being both shady and helpful, everyone was being funny, CRYSTAL AS THE TUMBLE WEED OMFG. everything about this season is so perfect. All the changes they’ve made have really found a perfect balance that fix so many critiques. Doing a split premiere while having all the queens come in together is definitely my favourite way of doing it. And the badonka dunk take even if it is rigged, it is, is still fun and I feel like it will lead to more fair judging cos they will be willing to put a favourite in the bottom two when it’s deserved bc they know they can save them. The press for this season has been amazing and genuinely I hope the have kori king on a payroll because her weekly vids are like an extension of the season to me! They are TO GOOD and truly have made me love some of the queens that I feel like I wouldn’t of as much if it weren’t for those videos. But the best part of this season has to be the cast 100%! I feel like uk6 shows us how important a good cast is cos omg that was an amazing season and cast. I’m really enjoying everyone on the cast and they all seem to get along and like each other enough to be shady and sisterly. Kori and Lydia also are so cute and the fact there teasing there relationship so hard on social media is so funny to me like there not conferring anything but not denying it eather lmao! Overall just really love the season and this vid!!

[@RilesIsTall]

Yes! More JackFed content! I'm loving this season so far and for once I feel like I don't know who all the frontrunners are immediately. Last season, you could tell who the frontrunners were immediately and sure enough, those were the top 4 queens of the season. Now? I feel like 7 different queens could make the finale and I wouldn't be surprised with any of them.

[@That_guy_antony_ware]

I could agree with you more on this season. I am absolutely loving it!

[@llammp]

I've had such a hard time picking a winner or even a top 5 because everyone is just so likeable. Luckyyy, who went home first, had my entire heart up until she left, and even the "shady" or "delusional" queens have been incredible characters like Hormona or Joella. SO excited for next episode!!

[@Lauren-km6gd]

Tbh I disagree and think the dunk tank may be one of the lamest twists we’ve gotten in a while. Like it’s just chocolate bar 2 imo and it kinda takes the emotion out of queens sashaying away after a lip sync Maybe it’s because last season everyone rlly came out swinging so early (plane being plane, q already being plucked on ep 4, morphine vs mhiya, plasmas story with rpdr live) that this feels kinda boring in comparison. We have jewels vs onya and hormona vs kori but that’s kinda it lol

[@roguephoenix]

ummm no. first of that "talent" show had mostly lip syncs. come on. it's season 17 and all the "talent" they can muster up is a sub par meh lipsync? they can't even dance. lip syncs as talent show should not be allowed unless they do something different with them like marina or anetra or what lexi and susie did this season. from what we've seen so far, we're in for a season of boring lip sync for elimination. like how can you make the song "buttons" meh? somehow they did it. second, that eye-roll worthy of a "twist" with the dunk tank, like we're supposed to believe those levers are even connected to anything and not production pressing a button elsewhere if they want to keep a queen? they're not even trying to hide producing anymore.

She's also incredibly educated and talented and I loved the advice she gave to Joella because it is true in general that everything you learn and care about impacts your art and style.

[@violet_aurora3068]

I agree with you that I liked the design challenge first over the ball. When watching drag race I want to never expect anything like "oh this episode is gonna be the ball" "oh this is gonna be the makeover" etc, so I like when they switch things up and also I only have to mentally catalogue 14 looks instead of like 40 looks which makes me forget some, like I genuinely just do not remember most of the s16 ball runways even if they were amazing. Personally I don't like putting a costume design challenge first at all but that's probably just me

[@yo_gabygabba]

I really love this season a lot. All the queens are so funny and enjoyable even the ones that I didn’t like at first are coming along to me. The queens are also so social media heavy especially queens like Kori which makes me like him more cause I get to see his personality a lot. Love this season so far. Also all the queens are SO young I mean the oldest is only 34 and the fans are only getting younger. The casts humor is VERY gen z because they all are except for a couple. This feels like the only casts where we know everyone so well.

I really don't like budunadunk tank (I have no idea how to spell it). It makes elimination way less emotional and longer. If someone will get safe, it feels like they're safe because of luck, not their talent (even tho production chooses who will stay). I always love in Season 6 when BenDeLaCreme lost a lipsync and Ru says "I wanna see more" - it recognizes talent of a queen, it makes emotional moment and it's more unexpected, because you know that Budukudunk tank will save someone eventually.

The thing I'm liking about this season so far is it feels like pretty much everyone has some or multiple kinds of story/interactions/conflict going on that makes the season feel alive. We have: - Kori and Lydia being lovey dovey - Arrietty's slow villain turn - Hormona pushing everyone's buttons by being kinda conceited - Jewels and Crystal being mad at Onya for stealing the trim/being effortlessly loved by the judges - Onya's low votes in rate a queen seeming to show the girls are threatened - Lexi being positioned as the peoples' champ against more "privileged" queens (esp the ones related to famous queens ie Sam Lana Jewels etc) - Lana/Arrietty's aliance - Joella's... everything - Sam/Acacia sorta having a country off - Lydia putting Sam low in rate a queen as a tension point so yea overall getting a lot of storylines from the show. can't help but notice Suzie Toot isn't having much narrative beyond "she's doing well" rn i wonder if something will emerge there.

it is SO cold and horrible how rupaul does the canned “cause vegas is good for you” RIGHT when she’s saying to sashay away like it’s so incredibly soulless and it honestly keeps me from fully enjoying the season. it really takes out any feeling of spontaneity or emotion

[@ppo190]

So you are not enjoying the season for a 3 second line said Eat the end of each episode? A line that is telling the queens who gets eliminated that they get a free vacation from the sponsor of the show? This is the strangest comment I think I’ve ever read.

One thing I'll say about the production dipping their hands into it is like seeing behind the wizard of oz, i know its reality tv i know it isnt real i want the illusion of choice or randomness. hell i'll even take a dramatic "wait wait im not ready for you to come back" then this random pulling. it just seems...........off?

[@adonistv15cantu]

I can’t explain just how much I love Lexi and want her to win it ❤

[@MinoBunny_o3o]

[@SheaMF]

I commented that on a few YT videos after the episode where Hormona got to stay.

ive seen alot of hate for the dunk tank twist and i personally dont get it. to me its actually helping to reduce the amount of riggory because they dont have to be so afraid to risk a front runner

[@user-dn6fw1ss1c]

well, if they are determining who wins with the badunka dunk tank, that is riggory, is it not?

[@ohhaeyoungttottotto]

@@user-dn6fw1ss1cyes but it can be said that the badonka dunk is what got them to stay instead of ru just saying im not ready for you to leave to kandy

I love your content. Ever considered letting the room breath by not editing/removing natural pauses between sentences?

[@cesaroviedo6345]

[@SanaKhan-do2fc]

I miss season 16, that cast was iconic!!

[@mikeymichmike]

Finally a SANE and real opinion about this season, I can’t stand the “this season sucks” etc comments, like what are these people’s standards here?!?
