Just wanted to let you know there’s a bot pretending to be you asking people to text them on telegram. Saw it and reported it but just be aware.
I love Rajah but I feel she more got this crown for her performance over her three seasons, whereas Silky and Victoria were both just incredible this season
Yeah I was thinking Silky or Victoria. Ngl, I didn't really like Silky in her original season, but I really warmed to her in this and she nailed the comedy challenge
Yeah it was like Shea Coulee in AS5 and not even that
This was just doing to Silky/Victoria what a lot of people think they did to Rajah in AS6. It was like they were making amends for the wrongdoing of someone instead of whether they performed the strongest this time around
I completely agree. Track record speaking only, Rajah should not have been expected to win. It should have been Silky or Victoria.
Finally a show that encourages genital mutilation and obesity.
I think it's important that while speculation can be fun ,let's not forget that favouritism is not Rita's fault but producers and the team behind the show . Rita is only a contestant and searching for someone to blame can be really dangerous , especially if you have just listened to Rita talking about her experience on season one of CDR.
Just a reminder for everyone,great video as always
Rita used her magic baguette to beguile the producers into doing her bidding. She's an acolyte of the Not So Slender Person.
@@brentbentKRFP thinking that Rita can only do good because she has producer's help is undermining all the work that she did and all the growth she experienced since season one. We also have to ,as a fandom that wants to support queer artists and see them succeed, take into account that a tv show is not representative of the reality ,that there is editing and storylines and plot points to make conversations about.
I don't understand your argument about the not so slender person. Rita has been working hard , especially in Quebec , to speak out about numerous issues related to queer culture and the art of drag while having a more mainstream audience.
This fandom has been really negative towards Rita and I think that it's time that this narrative stops , especially since it's not her fault
Yes exactly! I was coming to comment this same thing.
This is just speculation and I'm not Canadian,, but I believe Canada has laws about TV and film needing to have a certain amount of Canadians involved in a production. So they may have needed to have at least one Canadian contestant thru the end of the show to meet some requirement.
THANK YOU!! It’s so irritating that they drag the queens not PRODUCTION. If they dragged production as hard I think things would change.
How are these seasons still coming down to lip syncs?! It’s so anti climatic. The musical challenges or talent shows require so much more skill!
All of this is disgusting.
hopefully they will take notes from s14 and Cdr2 and make the lip sync smackdown a CHALLENGE apart from the finale
I was wanting Silky to win :/
Right?! If it's about being the queen of the world people should get the chance to show their skills in the finale! Perfect moment for a talent show!
No. No it isn't. It's a competition show for drag queens. The days of queens winning without ever lip syncing is rightly dead. If you can't send another girl home in a lip sync and serve in the challenges then you aren't a real winner.
While this season lacked drama, it brought up great conversations about queens of color, plus size and afab queens. I loved how every episode we would hear a queen’s experience on that and give them voice to share their experience. It felt fresh compared to other seasons
Agreed! It felt more intimate.
I kinda got that Icesis was the Queen that the producer was trying to push based on what she said! It seemed like the producer were putting all their eggs on Icesis to go all the way and possibly keeping the crown in Canada all on her shoulders. Thus probably making her feel a little too pressured and didn’t like that how they push certain narratives and that she felt unfair to all the other girls who were there to want to compete fairly when producers have already decided their winner or at least the finalists.
this makes a lot of sense actually
I mean maybe, but I also feel like she could've been in the top in all the episodes she were in but she wasn't so I'm not sure (esp the ball).
I immediately thought the same thing. It's weird to say of a TV character, but Icesis seems truly like a genuinely fair person. I imagine the pressure of feeling like she might just be handed the thing made it feel like going through motions, and not being fair. I imagine Icesis wanted a real competition or her real life, not a parody of either just for TV.
We have BenDelaChrist and now we have JesCesis
We really need a talent show for the finale! Let them be in their element, really show the world what they're made of!
Great idea!
I'm tired of these lip synch tournaments. They should do what DRThailand did and have them put together their own show. Give them a budget, acess to background dancers, acess to lighting and effects, etc. If you want to see what a drag queen would truly do with the crown, it's better than another lip synch.
I personally liked how the show flowed and that there wasn’t manufactured drama from production, and that it felt like a true sister bond between the queens.
i much prefer seasons with less drama. it's more fun to watch all the friendships and sisterhood than it is to watch drama and petty arguments.
idk bout that. during the show it’s cool but after the show, i miss the drama of the ru girls arguing and shading each other. now it’s just a lot of the same shit
Yeah, drama is only "fun" when it's organic. We can smell bs a mile away so I do disagree with Bussy asking the producers to turn it up
same I did not mind the drama free kinda season!
Drama is better
This was Victoria's season and nobody can change my mind ! 🤠
the drag king look was ICONIC
she was fishy
@@frederickgeorge8170 oh no you didn't
If only she was better at lipsyncing
@@frederickgeorge8170she was also sure to call herself f*t despite scolding and making a big deal of it in her original season
I really wanted Victoria to win this season she was so strong the whole thing
I personally LOVED that there wasn't much drama. I was so happy to see the queens getting to experience some peace. It was like watching The Great British Bakeoff with all the love and support between contestants. And with all the toxicity in the fandom, I think the show has an opportunity to be the change it wants to see. If everything is fair- there is less reason for fans to attack the queens.
dang that thirsty wig read from jimbo must have been in ritas mind rent free because her hair was sooo good this time.
This season went in a very wild direction. I honestly thought Icesis would win until she took herself out of the competition, then I was sure it would be Victoria but she was out first lip sync and then I'm like okay it's the Silky show but nope! I don't like this lip sync smackdown for the crown thing. I just don't think it's a fair fight sometimes
Once icesis was out, Victoria was the clear winner. She fucking killed it! But something tells me production wouldn't want to crown a cis woman. I hope one day they prove me wrong, but it seems like the only reason Victoria was ever cast was to shut people up, not to actually win anything.
@@emilyauld8622 victoria lost her lipsync though. Why do people complain when they dont take the lipsync into account, and then moan when they do? They actually did this based on the lipsyncs, after a season when everyone did well enough to justify being in the final. For once. And now people are mad Rajah won.
@@emilyauld8622 sadly I think you're right
I 100% agree with you. It shouldn’t just come down to a lip sync. This whole season seems off to me, like the people who actually deserved it got just thrown under the rug at the very end because they were going to give the crown to Rajah or Silky from the start.
If it’s just based off a lip sync in the final then let’s cut the eps and crown rajah on ep 1 cos no one is taking her down. Agree that it was Icesis’ season but when she went it was clearly all about Victoria. However Rajah is a top tier Queen in her own right. So I’m confused.
Rita Baga has a particularly French Canadian sensibility - her fashion, her jokes, her attitude - and I think any "favouritism" (peep the "u", ya girl is CDN) directed towards Rita was maybe in recognition of this. Things she did or said or wore (although I am NOT co-signing her ball look for the Y2K runway challenge) might have been received differently by the audience, but the Canadian panel might have been acknowledging/celebrating her regional difference!
As a French Canadian I totally agree. Well said.
I'm so happy for Rajah and Silky for having that last spotlight over them, they have worked so hard
As the new year comes upon us, let us take a moment to reflect on how Bussy Queen has been in our lives throughout this pandemic. They bring us a half of a conversation we are already having internally, but now we can have it with someone in such a respectful way. Honestly, feels like chatting with my girlfriends. So thank you, Bussy Queen! I very much appreciate you putting out these videos. ☺️
Loved that there was little to no drama. Drag race France was a perfect season to showcase that you don't need drama to showcase great drag. I'm hoping for more seasons like this.
Please not more drama, i liked this season precisely because it all felt fair, and there was no fake petty drama. just let the girls show what they got in peace
Given how the fandom can be towards the queens when there IS drama, I now feel happy when there isn't any because then the queens won't get as many death threats.
Great point!!
i was queen victoria from day 1. it could’ve been awesome to have the first lesbian afab winner. i thought if not her, silky was next in line for the crown. rajah winning just took me completely off guard. like yeah she’s a talented sickening queen, but i didn’t see her as the winner of THIS franchise 😢 i was just so shocked. felt just like the canada 3 finale.
also i fucking hate the lip sync for the crown. one last performance can erase everything a queen has done throughout the season? nah not for me. i miss the old finales, like season 1-7. just crown the queen, no bells and whistles or performances. when a final lip sync determines the winner, it’s like, what’s the point?
I'm Team Vic but I don't think the world is ready for someone like Victoria to win. Maybe soon but not this year.
@@qwertyboo i feel you, but i also think that’s a poor excuse. not towards you at all, but “society” and people that feel that way. we’ve had a straight cis man compete, so many trans women and one who won, and a trans man. ru is all about diversity ever since he got called out lmao so it’s not like it wouldn’t be approved of. i just think she’s great representation and her performance alone, was perfect. she just did so good 😭 i hope this doesn’t sound bitchy towards you lol i’m just speaking to the world xo
I love that the Canadian seasons are lovely, calm and drama free. It's good to focus on the drag and the art, and to show positive and healthy storylines. I dislike the American drag drama
I was team Rajah from the beginning, during the season I fell in love with Icesis (I don't really watch much international seasons) but after she quit I was team Silky or Victoria, a top 2 rematch between them would have been iconic haha, still love Rajah and I'm happy for her 💜
Sums it up perfectly for me!
me too !!! I've wanted Rajah to win sooooo many times but like.... not now with Victoria and Silky slaying so much more and Silky delivering such a good final lipsync ! It's really a bittersweet victory for me, Rajah should have won an earlier season and Silky or Victoria win this one
None of my friends watch drag race so I don’t get to talk about it with anyone but these videos help me hear other opinions and points that I wouldn’t have thought of. Thanks
Ra’Jah was literally Diana Ross in that final lip sync! I always find the lip sync for the crown a strange way to decide the winner, but purely based on them Ra’Jah was a clear winner.
Also less drama is more good. I don’t wanna watch a group of fully grown adults arguing and bitching like teenage schoolgirls 🙄
Victoria's runway was incredible. So opulent.
disgusting.
Litteralyyy omg so fishyy
@@professorfoxtrot you're obsessed
I agree with the results of the lipsyncs, but I hate this as a way to pick the winner. For the whole season to boil down to a couple lipsyncs that may suit some queens more than just doesnt feel like a good ending (on any season).
Yasssss! Couldn't agree more!
Everyone keeps coming for Rita and it's ridiculous. She's amazing especially in her native French. I'd like to see any of these other Queens succeed in a second language.
Dont compare the girls
i’m trying to warm up to her but i just can’t seem to enjoy her. her first lipsync i was just thinking this is how she carrie’s herself? we don’t have to like every queen but that also doesn’t give us a right to hate her but i feel like most of us just don’t vibe with her because of how sloppy she is, money can buy looks but not talent
@@casswashwash1070 girl, comparing things is literally what everyone does in life. Our entire society is built on comparing things to each other, and all of us giving our opinions on which thing we like more. You can do that without tearing down someone.
Totally agree, I feel like a lot of people hate on her because she's Québécoise and have French as her first language. We need a Drag Race Québec edition in French and with our culture, stars and references.
Based on what Icesis says later, the favoritism was for Silky and Raja to be the final 2. It seemed the whole season was geared towards silky and they were gonna take Icesis out early which is why she probably left.
Not sure why anyone would WANT to see drama but we're all different I guess
Vanity Milan saying she needed a redemption is beyond me. She’s LEGENDARY. Losing is the new winning, baby.
The show is an exercise in mainstreaming perversion and groomers.
I don’t get why Bussy put Icesis’ “keep the crown in Canada” and Vanity and Rajah’s “favoritism” comments together to target just Rita. 1st off, if I was a producer, I would probably hype Icesis or any contestant up and tell them to “keep/take the crown for Canada!” A producer saying something like that doesn’t necessarily mean they would give her the crown. Do you think they told Kendal and Stephanie “Ok, you can join the show, but you’re not getting the crown”? They most likely gave them that cheerleader speech, too, to get them to sign the contract and hype them up to do their best. 2nd, there really is no way for us to truly know who the target of the favoritism. Bussy keeps pointing it to Rita, but what if there was more than one person who benefitted from that favoritism. I love both Vanity and Rajah, but them saying “we didn’t feel favored!” doesn’t prove they were or weren’t being favored… Anyways, this was a long rant but I’m just sick of everyone throwing stones at Rita when we will never now any of the truths behind the scenes. It just ends up putting a bad taste in my mouth.
Exactly, you would wanna hype them up to join as there's been so many other queens that declined to join this season.
It’s not that deep
@@habloconpablo9682 lol it isn’t, therefore Bussy didn’t need an “in depth analysis of the data” smh
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Is there something I'm not getting about Roscoe's?? This influential place has a stage made of plywood and black electrical tape, the queens basically sit on patio furniture, and they don't even have a real sign, it's just a fabric banner.
And also I feel like the conversations that go on there are sooo messy.
Icesis's gown gave me a McQueen FW '09 finale dress vibe 😍
i definitely think the crown was just handed to rajah, but idc bc she could’ve easily won as6 and arguably deserved that crown based on track record
Are you delusional? Track Record hasn’t mattered in years, otherwise Brooklyn, Gigi, Rosé, Cracker etc. would’ve won
@@geenalawrence8338 ooft if Rosé had the best track record of S13 then it truly was a mess💀💀
@@Matt-oz1dm she didn't, Symone did. They think that placing in the bottom two delegitimises a win, because they're idiots who can't get past binary-style thinking. Rosé performed well but just didn't have the same star quality as Symone. Plus being in the bottom gives the chance to perform sometimes excellent lipsyncs. If you end up in the bottom and do a brilliant lipsync that to me counts in your favour as much as einning a challenge does. In fact, it IS winning a challenge. Rosé stand have been salty about their mediocre fave not winning forever and always will be.
@@Matt-oz1dm also note how each queen this hater lists lost to a black queen (i believe)and you see where we're going with this.
@@geenalawrence8338 babe it’s okay you can calm down for fucks sake. all i’m saying is rajah is more than deserving of A crown and her strong performance in as6 proves it
I mean I think that the lip sync for the crown is a bit unfair in an all stars season. The best people of the season have already been seen lip syncing and it gets a bit stale (which isn’t their fault). This is what I think really worked in raja’s favour as her iconic dance moves hadn’t really been seen in this season. The queens who have lip synced the most also seem to lose momentum with each lip sync. Idk what they could do but I think it needs a spice up.
Also, I think anyone who has been injured in a lip sync might just have a bit of PTSD around lip syncing and that's a handicap for queens who have excelled in everything else!
It's also possible that Icesis felt the production could potentially favour her in the future and that added to why see left
I really thought this season was when we’d finally get a size queen winner. There were 2 in the top 4!!!
I heard all of them are size queens
Lawrence Chaney found dead ☠️
@@ThatFruityGuy I deserved that. Lol
Lawrence Chaney??? Natalia Pilacam???
???? Lawrence Chaney don’t exist?
Similarly to the first season of 'VS the World', at the end of the season and with the winner crowned I just feel meh. Ra'jah is amazing and I wanted her to win on AS6, but this time around she didn't stand out, excel or surprise us. She did good - but not the best and had no real "wow"-moment as we had just so recently seen her on TV (and on AS6 she had engaging and surprising moments with a rudemption arc).
Fo Canada vs the World, only Silky and Victoria had a satisfying story arc of showcasing themselves to be the winner.
My biggest issue was the brevity of the season. Too few queens compete, which results in reducing more possible story lines and drama, and reduction in character development. They need to have 12 queens per season.
I don't think there was really any favoritism acted on this season, but I'd expect more favoritism to be done towards American queens on the Vs the World seasons (this felt very much the case with Jujubee)
They're bigger names who have had two seasons with more viewership than the other queens and their big name is likely to keep viewers around and therefore get the moneys.
i gotta say i think it’s pretty clear the producers were trying to rig the crown for icesis. it’s very in character for icesis to talk about things like that. she likes proving she’s earned her wins. also rita’s already been piled on enough.
and maybe it’s just my perspective but i’m sick of drag race being all about drama - it’s why i find canada so refreshing. i watch for the drag, i’d watch any other reality show on tv for just drama.
no hate to anyone for having their own opinions though
***edited to rectify a funky sentence
I feel like Canada Vs The World Was like a cozy drag moment. Like a nice cozy Fall\Christmas drinking some hot cocoa under a blanket moment. With so many seasons coming out and after Dragula, for Halloween it was nice to have a Drag Race that was just chill. Also. Rajah had one of the best Drag Redemptions, but I have to say we need an Asian winner now please and thank you.
I think the favoritism was towards icesis and she knew about it and left because she thought it wasn't fair.
Really? If anything she was robbed of the ball challenge win. Her looks were next level and her performances were incredible too.
No way. I definitely think she was a planned win, but her inner demons didn't let her see it because losing the ball made her think production was against her.
That's what I gathered...but she was actually delivering in the challenges. I thought she could've easily been Top 2 in all of the challenges she was a part of. I was rooting for Icesis. She's probably my favorite RPDR queen ever at this point in time. I understand her wanting to win fairly but sometimes you have to go with the flow. I also wonder if the criticism she got for her jokes got to her and she just decided to quit rather than be sent home for not doing well in the stand up.
Regarding your theory, Icesis confirmed during the same viewing party that the favoritism was not in the main state but more in the workroom/backstage.
Bravo to the Queens this season for eliminating each other fairly. I don't think we [the fanz] could stomach another unfair vs. the world season with the strongest queens getting pangina'd.
omg the "A GAAAAME THEORY" reference was so refreshing lmao. I love when all my favorite, niche things reference each other lmao
Theory: Icesis was getting favouritism and wasn’t placed in the top for it not to be too obvious. Once she felt it, she probably thought it to be an unfair game and left
I love Rah'jah, and I understand she will be an amazing winner and rep for the show. but that being said- I GENUINLY DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY DIDNT GIVE IT TO SILKY?! This was finally her moment! I feel Rahjah would have been a great queen to bring back over and over again kinda like Jujubee. I am seeing a lot of people saying Silky didnt win because she is overweight?? The fatphobia is insane, and I really hope this isnt the real reason why she wasn't chosen to get the crown. This was really Silky's season and her moment. I was shocked she didnt win. and i am never really shocked by the winners of drag race. so im gooped and confused. i absolutely do love rahjah, let that be clear.
I completely agree! All of the queens were so talented and beloved but this season was definitely Silkys or Victorias to win.....
Rah’Jah won bc she won the lip sync and was robbed on as6. Simple. Love silky and she’ll probably become the next jujubee
I felt the same exact way, glad I'm not alone. Like the show gave us more moments from Silky and Victoria,. why not make them the top 2 to lipsync for the crown instead?
Silky got beat in the lip-sync fair and square. That's the problem.
@@SwiftySanders but it was pretty close, I used to think silky only won 5 lipsyncs in AS6 cuz producers, not anymore, bitch can move
Imagine being Rita and everyone down playing your work 😮
I love raja! Glad she won 💜
Right at the time when she just mentioned in the very finale being analyzed that she had to quit social media for a while.
i love rajah, but it shouldve been a win for silky here. or at least a double crowning. silky nabbed and touched my heart so much throughout this season. you get to see who she truly is and her entertaining values. i wish she wouldve won. congrats to rajah tho!
They complain when they don’t give the lip sync winner the crown. The one time they do, people still complain. Rajah deserved the win. Congratulations to her.
People choose the side that supports who they wanted. The hypocrisy of Sasha vs yvie winning from lipsyncs. I saw so much “yvie won, she did way better, get over it” and the same people would say “shea was robbed, she only won bc she was white”. I saw the vice versa situation happen too. It’s very annoying. Honestly we need to learn to not care as much, i don’t mean this to shade recent winners, but there’s so many dang seasons that winning doesn’t leave as much of an impact as it used to when there was one season a year instead of the literal dozen now. Plus the winners never seem to be the one that did the best for the last few years
Right? It is so tiring. Damn if you do, and damn if you don’t
you can never please drag race fans 💀
I get why people are happy about Ra'jah winning, it feels like a satisfying ending to her 3-season story arc. However, I personally don't think she was the stand-out of the season. For me, the crown belonged to either Victoria or Silky.
I agree, i think it might be because we’ve seen her sm recently and nothing from her really seems new or exciting atm. This is why i was for victoria because she really shook things up and always felt genuine.
When all stars is filled with drama, it's less enjoyable. I appreciate eliminations that feel fair.
Love you! Thank you for quality content all year.
Happy New Year! 🎉
I really liked the lack of bs drama, instead, we watched friendships grow naturally among artists who respect one another. Silky and Victoria's friendship particularly was a joy to watch. Oh and having a sapphic queen was just an absolute delight, Victoria will always be our queen
Rajah had no story line this whole season so her win felt completely unsatisfying and random, on the other hand all three other queens had a storyline, victoria with her redemption and afab representation, silky's redemption and domination of the season along with her being plus sized, and rita being the last canada queen, I do love rajah and agree with the lip syncs, but they didn't give her anything to do, I've never seen a season in which the winner had such a minor role in the storyline.
IMO the only favoritism was Rita being top2 the first episode, but she was pretty good in every challenge
Miss Silky has reeeellly grown on me. Munch munch, she ate tonight. Rahja was great but Silk probably should have taken this season.
I'm really glad that the seasons (all stars all winners/canada vrs the world) isn't chalk full of drama, frankly tired of it. I wish they'd get rid of the queens elimate the other queens, and just let the judges do it. I really just wanna see the hard work the queens put in to creating their looks. Look at Dragula, there's more than enough drama but its more focused on showing the talent.
To be honest: If Icesis stayed in the competition, it would have been very likely that 'the crown remained in Canada' because in my opinion, she was the strongest competitor on that season. The only reason that she wouldn't have won would either be if she was pangina'ed or if she would have been so bad in the lipsync smackdown that the producers couldn't justify her win. I am a bit disappointed that they even considered doing a lipsync smackdown instead of a music video with speeches to crown the strongest competitor at that particular moment - which is Victoria. But hey, condragulations to Ra'Jah.
I was thinking maybe they asked Icesis to do something (like saving Stephanie), she refused, and the production wasn't happy so they did not give her top two in ep3. It would be kind of foolish to only favour Rita if they really wanted to keep the title in Canada. Icesis was a strong competitor and the wise choice would be to push at least both Icesis and Rita. The favouritism might not just show in the placements, but it may be during the process (like instructing queens to do certain things that the production believes would work well in the challenges)
Girl I’m so tired of Drag Race girls saying that there’s favoritism on the show. It’s reality tv, what did you expect? When did you get the impression that this was a fair show? They’re not exposing anything and they’re not saying anything we don’t already know.
Can you say that louder for the ppl in the back please?
I’ve been saying the same thing for awhile.
I mean it’s still annoying for the people that it’s happening to so they have the right to call it out if they want. Smh
@@beandrag9019 EXACTLY.
@@beandrag9019 but it’s been a regular thing since the start of show, ru has tried to hide it but makes the show bland it’s more entertaining to embrace it
I agree to some extent, but I totally understand if a queen chooses to air out her grievances toward it. After all it still sucks for the contestants that aren’t on the receiving end of said favoritism. It’s like, why even try to compete if they already selected their front runners. Plus drag race is unique in that the queens usually spend a lot of money to even compete in the first place. Imagine all that money essentially going to waste simply because you weren’t a producer’s favorite. Not even having a fair shot to begin with. I’d be pissed
I'm still in shock that Kendall went home first.
Victoria should have won!! You did the UK proud babes (along with Vanity)
Rajah wins the season, also Rajah calls out favouritism
Happy Holidays Ugly, I had an amazing time watching your videos in 2022 and I can't wait to see more in 2023. I love your new hair, looks fabulous. Wishing the best to you and your family. Happy New Year, love ya.
I love that Canada's drag race has less drama than the other series' do. One of the things that bugs me (and a lot of other people based mostly on youtube comments) so much about the regular seasons is the amount of fabricated drama and production interference. Canada's drag race (minus season 1) feels more like it happens naturally than the US or AS seasons. But I'm also Canadian so maybe I'm just biased
Rita is always professionnal, polished, funny abd polite. I love her, and if there was favoritism, it was clearly NOT her fault.
I think another thing to consider in all of this is it might not be favoritism towards just one queen. Just because multiple queens mentioned favoritism doesn't necessarily mean it was all the same instance/pattern. Not to mention, production can change their mind as to who's their favorite mid season, we have no real way of knowing.
While I don't doubt Icesis' story, considering how quickly Canadian queens' numbers went, its also possible that production couldn't stick with the plan to keep it in Canada and had to forcibly change how things were going to adjust. They'd have to be pretty heavy handed in doing it in order to get it done, which might explain things getting to a point where Rajah felt the need to step in.
And when it comes to Rita, we've seen plenty of ways that production shows their hand to help a queen (to name a few: 'randomly assigned' roles that suit them, gentle bordering on illogical critiques, even fully changing the song they're supposed to lip sync to) and I didn't really notice any of that with Rita before or after she was the last Canadian standing. Her record was basically the same before and after Icesis left, she just happened to split her winners' lip sync. Especially with it being CDR producers, who were arguably the most obvious in their controlling of the narrative going all the way back to CDR1, I feel like they would have given a much more noticeable push
You said Nelly Futardo and it made me laugh! 🤣😂🤪
I was rooting for rajah to win as6 tbh, I loved her storyline and still do as someone who has struggled with some of the same stuff she has…but I’m not gonna lie I was genuinely gagged when she won. I feel like even the camera work was tailored to silky, or maybe I just couldn’t take my eyes off her. I never got a “winner edit” from anyone really. Just an off season, I think if Ru/production is still the ones pulling the stings she’s at least gotta be there for these all stars seasons. Hopefully that “global all stars” rumor is an improvement
I love every single one of these queens but lbs, this season was for Victoria or Silky to win. They did so well I did not feel right about Rajah winning. Happy for her anyways but.....
Excited for this video
I enjoyed this season!! SOOOO much better than UK vs the world
Up here in Canada, we don’t need the drama to have a good time. It was feel good viewing. Can’t wait for the next race to begin.
A DRAG THEORYYYYYY, I literally love you for this
Victoria was and is the winner to me. I enjoyed her the most after icesis left (i was rooting for icesis at the start). And having the first bio queen win the crown would have been great to see
The way I see it from the roscoe's talk, there seems to be some mixed communication. Icesis states that production wanted her to keep the crown in Canada, and the canadian part is what the host brought to Ra'jah and Vanity, but there didn't seem to be any confirmation from them that indeed the favoritism was for a canadian queen
THIS! For someone doing an analysis, there was 0 explanation why Bussy put these two comments together to be as one thing…
Not everything needs drama . We are more relaxed up here in Canada!
I love it how this season was calm and flowy. I know I and a lot of fans are TIRED of all the forced drama and bitching going on Drag Race in the last years. It's almost like watching the basketball players wifes show, which is very shitty and problematic. Can we have more seasons with no bitch fights and forced drama? Thanks.
Loved loved loved this season! I swear these QUEENS are EXCEPTIONAL!
in my opinion, it really felt like silky was gonna win. she got the winner storyline from the beginning and i believe she was the most deserving, as well as victoria. i am really sad silky didn't take the crown but i am happy for ra'jah.
Always so happy for your videos!
I swear Rita is gonna hate Love Inc for the rest of her life because she lost the crown the first time to Priyanka to Love Inc and then lost the Top 4 lip sync to a Love Inc song
Hello Bussy Queen, it's soo lovely to see you back again after the holidays. 🥰🥰 I'm going to miss the mustache, but if it gets in the way of your drag, then I see that it has to go. Favoritism on Ru Paul's drag race? I've never heard of that happening before. 😉
"A DRAG THEORY!" you kill me😂😂😂
I honestly think it's a bit of a stretch to say that the favouritism was directed towards Rita just because Icesis spoke of a desire to have a Canadian win! She was talking about them wanting her to participate. Not saying Rita wasn't favoured, though.
personally i preferred rajah and silly’s verses but i do think rita’s lip sync was tighter than both of theirs, so part of me understood their choice
I’m really proud of Rajah and I’m so glad a local queen (to me) finally won.
The "forced drama" on other seasons is so annoying and unnecessary. I'm glad this season was without it and wasn't felt forced.
And for the Lipsyncs, i hink Rita had the better opening for the first song. Her slow start was way more appropriate.
What was surprising for me at this critic was, Bussy is hating on Ritas opening for holding back at 6:00 but than praising Rajah at 8:05 for doing the same...
Ooop👀
There’s literally favouritism in every season because production picks who they want to win when they cast it
i was team victoria but so happy rajah finally won! shes a killer queen!
I could see Drag Race Québec happening in the future, too. You'd be surprised how much great TV is produced in Québec, for Quebecers.
Let’s face it: most Canadian produced TV aimed towards Canadian is mostly Québec TV! I say this as a Québécois by birth now living in BC, and I actually work in TV as an actor (mostly background actor though). In 5 years, I worked on one Canadian show (The Murders)…that’s it. Well I worked on Family Law which is also in the US now. Needless to say, Québec has its own version of a lot of major shows like Big Brother, the Voice, and many more in addition to its own additional programming as well as dubbed US shows (often shows made in Canada!)
Anyhow, I agree with you.
take a drink everytime bussy says "favoritism"
I'm from the UK. The first few epidosdes I thought the favouritism was for Vanity - she's one of my local queens and I love her. I was surprised when she went. Well done Rajah - I also loved you since the first season you were on.
I thought the one being favored was Rajah 🤷🏻♂️ The irony of it all
Before you shave we need a video lipsync of Rythm of the Night!
the who dun it board killed me 😂
For me- this was just so short of a season. I kind of wish they would have done the new format where no one goes home for the Vs the worlds. They spend so much money and I want to see them all do well instead of being picked off. Kind of thought the lip sync smackdown was boring- was just not feeling it, not all the songs where great. Just my thoughts-no hate!
Rajah won the finale fair and square, she turned it out! But for me Victoria en Silky won the season :) all amazing, deserving queens though. And the sisterhood was lovely to watch ❤️
The way you analyze so I don’t have to 🥰❤️
