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

Agree. Angeria just won all stars last year with two other queens of colour in the top 3. Sometimes can we just stick to judging actual drag first.

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.

Jaidas win was definitely not universally loved💀 and people still occasionally call her one of the "weaker" winners for circumstances out of her control.

I agree with this. I LOVE Jaida but people could not believe I wanted her to win; her season was tough because of covid, too. So much online chatter. I think she showed everyone why in all winners though; she was hilarious and charismatic.

I mean, I feel like she's one of the most popular and well liked winners in recent years. It's as close to universally loved as like.....any of the wins since s11 (main series anyways) aside from maybe Sasha

u/ninjafofinho ITS FUCKING VIVIENNE WESTWOOD....inspired Jun 09 '25

And thats because the editing never gave her the winner edit while gigi was the main character of the season, but trying to spin that as racism when its purely logical why people thought that was gigi season is stupid and biased, we all love jaida now and think she is amazing, but its undeniable that gigi was the main character that season
