Yvies judging was so weird, she was both favored and also robbed at the same time throughout the season.

[@DragDetective]

So bizarre. Could have had 3 wins and 3 bottoms.

[@Cam-ch9iv]

@@DragDetective she’s clearly an amazing lip syncer so I don’t know why they were so hesitant to put her in the bottom anyways.

[@salvatore2004]

[@dipassignment6037]

season 11 was wild. It's the same way Silky was favoured but also given one of the worst edits of the show.I mean, I do think fans went overboard with the hate in a way they don't with white fan favourites who behave similarly cough Alyssa Edwards cough, but even so.

Idk why, I can just see her winning. I think it would be a really great redemption arc, imagine if she got a second dose of determination after winning the lip sync against Rajah and did really well? Like he said, scarlet uses stunts to bring the energy that dancers bring, because she’s smart enough to realise she’ll lose if she dances. It would also be herstory if she won and was a bad dancer ( and besides, lip sync smack down for the crown was the stupidest thing they ever introduced)

[@bernardsoul5186]

Seeing a stunt like the flower petals or, I don't know, Aquaria's sparks is possible, but it has to be timed perfectly and very visible to the audience as well as the cameras. It's super rare and difficult, and there's no evidence that Scarlet could do it other than "I feel like..." Now to do it in not one, both BOTH lip syncs in the finale is impossible.

To me, I feel like in the finale scenario, Brooke vs Yvie would’ve been double shantay to replace the one that we would miss out on, and then in the final lip sync Yvie would’ve won, because that head reveal was truly a moment.

[@psycane8462]

Brooke and Yvie in the first lip sync would have been a way better double shantay to the final lip sync than Aquaria vs. Eureka, but either way, I think Yvie wins? Brooke did great but she did the same thing she did in every other lip sync, and it would not have worked nearly as well in S.O.S. as it did in Bootylicious. But I'm also a delusional Yvie stan who can't comprehend Yvie not winning the season lol.

If I recall correctly from being on the Spoilers Reddit at the time, Aquaria majorly flopped in that lip sync vs Eureka and stumbled multiple times, and a tie was the best they could try and salvage for her bc Eureka was the clear winner in the room.

Akeria is the only one who can't make top 2, and she already has the worst score) (Vanjie only gets 29 in 12 competitive episodes, or 2.42/ep, which is really bad for a top 5 contestant) This top 4 is incredible. Look at how balanced these numbers are, this never happens. However, I genuinely believe that in THIS world you have created, Yvie can't win. Up to this point in the series, no one has won with 2 bottom 2 lip syncs. Symone being the only exception, and that was in the largest season with the most competitive episodes, and the top 4 format was designed retroactively for her to be the only winner of the season (Gottmikk and Rose got 3 left feet and an ear infection at all times, while Kandy just didn't do well enough to earn the win). Which I think sucks. I like that Yvie won over Brooke, because Yvie was emotionally the correct choice, and she fit every criteria for a winner up until this point. Yeah Brooke did better by point average, but Yvie was the second best score in the season and only had the one lip sync. So... who wins? In my mind, in EVERY reality, because of how judging works in this competition, Brooke wins. Now let's do what you did and not give Brooke the last episode lip sync. Her score is even more impressively above the cast. She is a full win over Yvie, and Scarlet doesn't have the emotion behind her that Brooke and Yvie do in this season. Akeria never felt like a player, and faltered pretty darn hard in the finale, so... she kinda can't win. We're never given reason to want Akeria to win, and the edit does matter, so I can't justify her winning in any top 4 format. So the winner is either Brooke or Scarlet, and Scarlet could have stunts for days for all we know, but Brooke will out-dance her. I think that Scarlet loses to Yvie and Brooke in Bootylicious, while Akeria also probably beats her in Bootylicious since Akeria IS bootylicious personified. So, Scarlet needs SOS to beat Akeria. Cool, let's give her that. Yvie loses Bootylicious to Brooke, because Brooke killed that song so hard. Now Scarlet vs. Brooke happens, and Scarlet feels like she'd get swallowed up in this song. Yeah there's a world where Scarlet werks the haus down boots yass gaga kween sleigh, for sure, and gives us a gag/reveal to remember like the second head. But also, Brooke is a professional. What you saw in that finale is Brooke giving a phone in, and she still looked and felt like a genuine competitor. But, also, that lip sync against Vanjie? That was the weakness Brooke needed to BE the rightful winner of the season. She spent the entire season being perfect, untouchable, and unapproachable. That was her problem. Once the Vanjie wall broke, and you could feel Brooke in that lip sync, and how much emotion they both put into it (super underrated lip sync, love it every time), you have finally given Brooke everything for a complete storyline. Kinda like Alaska blowing up in AS2 and winning, because we love to see peoples weaknesses and how they react when pressured. Brooke DELIVERED when pressured here. So... yeah, I kinda feel that in this world, the only timeline Brooke doesn't win in is the one where Scarlet steals the dress from Yvie and her bone hurt disease to become stretch armstrong for a song. I'm saying this as a massive Scarlet stan. Brooke wins in 92.75% of worlds in this situation, whether you give her the lip sync against Vanjie or not. In the world without the lip sync, it's like not giving Bianca the win. You always give Bianca the win, because she's perfect and nice and did it every week. Brooke is one of the few queens ever to come for that title. With the lip sync? You've made a perfect story. There's a meta narrative you've got to consider, and with your scoring, you accidentally made Brooke the only winner. Which is totally fine because she's a great drag competitor and all that jazz. But yeah, as cool and wild as this world is, Yvie can't win and that feels bad man :(

Drag Detective, you need to make a video on RPDR UK Series 2 as soon as the finale airs this Thursday. This is an order.

[@darkmask5933]

I think with the final wheel spin, the thing you have to figure out is let's assume all four scenarios, one where Scarlet is picked by the wheel, one with Akeria, one with Yvie, and one with Brook. I doubt Brook or Yvie would have picked each other because they know they are both dancers, like you said Scarlet probably would have picked Akeria, but who would Akeria have picked? Also I wouldn't just assume Yvie would lose round 1 against Brook, because Yvie would have likely tried a lot harder against Brook, no shade to Akeria. You're comparing Bootylicious Brook against SOS Yvie, but honestly if you HAD to choose using Sorry Not Sorry Yvie vs Brook who would have won? Assuming they do an awful double save 3 way finale like s10, I think Sorry Not Sorry Yvie may squeak out over Brook because Yvie had a better story and was something we had never seen before, but feel free to disagree with me.

[@pete_er]

yes, you're losing it xd the top4 simulation seems nuts indeed, Scarlett would never win against Brooklyn nor Yvie. Brooklyn winning against Yvie is also not very probable. however, they're both among the best dancer and lipsyncers of the whole franchise and wouldn't be defeated by any other queens of the season, no matter what.

I would’ve loved to see Rajah go further on her season I actually really loved her actually more than Yvie but that’s an unpopular opinion my take is Brooke Was The Winner Of Season 11

[@yepitsthatguy5278]

I get that it's hard to try and come up with hypothetical placings for when queens have already gone home but like .... Scarlet wasn't THAT amazing. I like Scarlet but I don't think Scarlet would have been in the Top 3 so many times after leaving tbh. The queens have literally a year to come up with new runways after being eliminated, improve their makeup and looks, and having a professional photoshoot is so different to showing up on drag race with a strict time limit to get dressed while on drag race - scarlet's makeup while on drag race was also like bad... her walk-in look, orange runway, gold runway did not have very good makeup ngl. I don't think she would have done an amazing makeover if she had been there. Basically I don't feel the photoshoots are an amazing thing to use to place queens after they've gone. Great video though! Love how you explained things and clearly showed your placings etc per episode

[@shinnyboppers9802]

found and binged a lot of your videos last night! very entertaining lol

[@DragDetective]

glad you enjoyed!

[@twig_washere]

This video is insane looking back on it😭

[@genodragotto1203]

I feel you showed just about as much favoritism to Scarlett Envy as Rupaul showed Silky and Vanjie. While yes, she had those amazing looks post elimination, her monster ball runway was far from as great as you made it seem. Water concept aside, the look she made was just her generic trumpet skirt dress in latex with a face mask and would not have beaten Plastique or Brooklyn. Also, to say she would’ve been safe as Lana Del Rey is a bit of a reach and the only way I can see laughing at someone impersonating Lana is if they do it announcing an album while at a Denny’s.

[@samhorsfall4822]

scarlets monster ball was the most creative of the night, u can’t tell me otherwise, as for snatch game i agree she shouldve been low but not bottom 2

[@ivankervis4374]

You could make a case for Plastique but Brook Lynn wasn’t even a monster in the most important look she just put a snake on her head

[@samhorsfall4822]

@RedundantFallacy i never said it wad the best executed, i said it was the most creative with the best concept

[@goeegoanna]

Brooke wore body suit after body suit but was never once called out on it and a good portion had a strappy look about them.

[@georgebroadhurst5483]

Whilst I agree Scarlet would've performed well in the later challenges, she would never out lip sync Rajah O'Hara.

[@niekklaver3030]

Scarlett was not ready for this season. Im excited for her all stars run, but she would not have made it to the end anyway

[@pletter]

"I'm not a Scarlet Envy stan" lieeessss! Anyways, here's how the elimination order and ppe score would go: Top 4: - Brooke Lynn Hytes [3.5] - Scarlet Envy [3.33] - Yvie Oddly [3.25] - A'Keria C. Davenport [3.17] 5th: Vanessa Vanjie Mateo [2.25] 6th: Nina West [3.09] 7th: Silky Nutmeg Ganache [3] 8th: Plastique Tiara [3.11] 9th: Ariel Versace [2.57] 10th: Ra'Jah O'Hara [2.17] 11th: Shuga Cain [2.6] 12th: Mercedes Iman Diamond [1.75] 13th: Honey Davenport [2] 14th: Kahanna Montrese [0.5] 15th: Pedoju [0]

[@racheldolezol7390]

So I found a common thread in these videos. Rigga Morris! You will take one of the Queens that you like the most all the way to the top despite how they actually did in the competition.. Scarlett wasn't even there.. bombed the acting challenge and you put her in the top SNATCH GAME... Stop these! They're pointless when you're biased. Scarlett lost every lip since on drag race.. She beats Rajahhhh??? Girl... are you ok?

[@ytscrownjewell]

Vanjie safe in farm to runway wearing just a rope and glitter? That was THE worst look

[@ToyTALLz]

I've watched a couple of your videos and it's clear that a LOT of references go over your head because of things you just don't know. I,E. Bone Collector, Coming To America (you called it a play, it's a cult film) etc. on a previous video about the Halloween ball there were loads you missed too which skewed your judgement.

[@ToyTALLz]

Silky's second look was a black pop culture reference - of a witch from The Wiz (Rajah referenced The Wiz in the ball too).

[@ToyTALLz]

Ariel Versace isn't a dancer. She's not known to be one either. She said herself - she is not a dancer.

[@ToyTALLz]

Your judging of Scarlet wasn't 'fair' it was biased

[@Casey-sl7ek]

[@mylesg7980]

"especially cuz Shuga just stood there and did nothing" ummm yeah. Just like Whitney. Whitney couldn't dance, so most of her performances were park and barks, which is why I think Shuga nailed that lipsynch. But that's just me

[@davidsobkowiak1175]

I agree fully

[@PauloCesarLira5]

But it's a lipsync performance, not an impersonation performance. And it's an upbeat song. Just like Monet and Naomi on AS4. Monet was giving "Judy Realness", but the point is to entertain Ru and outshine the other lipsyncing against you

[@mylesg7980]

@@PauloCesarLira5 ok but I think Shuga's performance was more true the essence of the song and the artist. It's why Latrice's You make Me feel worked better just standing there, than Kenya flipping and running around the stage. More movement doesn't always mean better performance.

[@PauloCesarLira5]

@@mylesg7980 it's not the best comparison. Both I'm your baby tonight and Come rain or come shine are upbeat songs, Natural woman is not. Kenya's choice was weird to move a lot during a slow and emotional song, and same goes for Monet or Shuga staying in one spot during an upbeat one.

[@jaimejdtrechuelo1696]

@@PauloCesarLira5 well but impersonation work some times. Like bebe in as3

[@corpseinthesky6111]

I don’t know anything about drag race but your videos are so nice for background noise because of your way of speaking (sort of like listening to an audiobook?) so thank you for putting them out here!

[@sarahd6728]

I feel like this scenario is kinder to rajah’s storyline too because she did good in the farm to runway only to get sent home, so we don’t get that robbery here. Revisiting this season kinda makes me realise how many queens (rajah, scarlet, shuga) got a raw deal because producers obviously didn’t favour them.

[@mayruuh]

i really think yvie was robbed of her farm sewing challenge. plastique was good but she was serving the same kind of look and sillhoette she always does while yvie was amazing the farm musical number and was showing a new side of her in the runway. yvie totally deserved her win in s11 tbh

[@richardcrafton1805]

I would wait for the court case to finish before I made any decisions of soju. There's been no real proof on either side yet. Just a lot of talk. With sherie pie, there was evidence shown to prove their actions. That's the difference that makes me want to wait.

[@dali722]

I'm sorry can we talk about Scarlett isn't even that great at lip-syncing. I don't see Scarlet beating anyone in the top four. To say she'd pull a Sasha Velour is criminal.

[@ashishsingh4867]

Scarlet cannot Cannot CANNOT beat Brooke Lynn Hytes in the lipsyncs. In any lipsync. ANY LIPSYNC.

[@ProtectusCZ]

The last lipsync for the crown doesn't actually matter. It's about track record (and bottom placements)

doesnt make sense to me, lets just say imagining how well someone would have done and comparing it to how someone actually did is simply not fair. Its like if your boyfriend's ex died and you are here and he kept thinking oh she would have done so much better than you. Imagination ALWAYS wins Lets just say that lol
