      ​@@ASJattar Tbh I think Shea just got into that "Alaska" mindset, where she was completely focused on winning that crown with no-holds-barred. That's why she seemed quite cold, and also the alleged campaign against her probably got to her. On AS7 it looks like she's having way more fun

      Yeah the US government taxes prize winnings 25% and you’ll owe state taxes on top. Plus they’ll tax it as income and if it’s over a certain percentage you can be taxed according the the highest income bracket. It’s absolutely bonkers. Lots of people can get as much as 37% taken from their winnings.

I think the show just makes a lot more money now than it did 10 years ago, and since the cash prize has been the same since S4, it was about damn time they increased it, especially since the standards of the show have been raised dramatically and queens have to spend a lot on getting ready for Drag Race.
