Does anyone else feel the same about season 17?
I don’t know if I’m deluded or not so putting it to the fandom…
I can’t really put my finger on it but I’m just not vibing with this season. There are some super talented queens but I don’t feel like any are really breaking through to become icons. I even struggle to remember individual cast members due to lack of individuality.
Is it cast chemistry? The challenges? Judging? The editing?
Some unstructured thoughts of mine:
- Is Suzie Toot consciously trying to emulate Jinkx? Her confessional with that beanie hat thing and her overall schtick is very Temu version of S5 Jinkx
- who is Crystal Envy? I wouldn’t recognise her in a line up of random white girls. Same with Sam…
- Kori literally just copying other queens and trying to be the Plane of the season but just being very average
- Lana is again another Temu version of every tall skinny queen before her
- Is production ignoring Butthole? Usually her tongue in cheek wackiness (like literally dressing as a dick and balls on the runway) would be super celebrated but I kinda feel like it’s a non event this season
- I don’t feel like Hormona was edited in the best light compared to her social media persona
- Joella and her chaotic run was the most entertaining part of the season so far and it was over so fast.
I dunno, maybe it’s early days but overall I’m feeling pretty meh about this season so far.
What does everyone else think? Am I crazy?
