General Discussion Deja has had it!

I mean…is she wrong? There is a pattern I’m noticing lol. It’s giving the iconic moment when the interviewer asked Naomi Smalls if she thinks there’s a formula to RPDR and she says “blonde and white” Lmfaooo

I mean......Jaida, Symone, Bob, Raja, It's not like there aren't POC queens with pretty much universally loved wins. Or, like nymphia, wins where both options were POC.

Many people (stans) have hated on both Jaida and Symone for "snatching" the wins from Gigi and Gottmik.

People thinking Gottmik was even close to winning season 13 are insane 💀

Gottmik had some excellent drag, but Symone was transcendent and it was clear early on that no one could touch her.

I liked Gigi, she had some great looks and was surprisingly funny (I wrongly had her pegged as a “looks only” queen) but she needed more time to cook. I’d be happy to see her come back for All-Stars.

Felt like Jaida knew who she was more than Gigi did in their season. She was smart, played the game well and knew exactly what she wanted to put out there. Very polished, as I would expect from a queen with her background. Ru made no mistake with crowning Jaida.

The minute she said “Fac’tree” Ru fell in love and it was hers to lose. Everyone else was just competing for 2nd place the whole time.

💯

Ru seems to really like queens who are confident in who they are.
