The double digit seasons for an OG like me, are hard to watch because the queens were raised on Drag Race, not necessarily raised in the bar scene. Queens who are sponsored, outfits made, catchphrases practiced, merch ready…but cant walk in heels, cant lip synch, not genuinely funny or interesting, cant do their own make up. Take away their team and instagram filters and they fall apart.

As an og fan of the show that started watching with season 1 on my ipod touch at 14 years old, Season 16 has been the most enjoyable season to watch in a LONG time. The cast, the pacing, no annoying gimmick, no non-elim episodes back to back, a proper storyline and a "villain" all has made it so good.

The Emmy is just a popular award, they don’t care about quality. RPDR is entertaining but a shitty show. The production is shit, their scripts are shit, their jokes are shit. But I would never say that.

I love season 16. I'm so torn between who I want to win right now. I think I'm leaning towards Sapphira. She's that motherly, professional presence that makes you feel so comfortable watching her. Plus, those runways are next level. She's truly royalty. But, I also adore Nymphia. She's got that relatability factor, especially that crippling fear that you're not going to succeed only for it all to be okay in the end. She encapsulates the more modern sense of humor, and all of her looks are very artistic and thoughtful. Also, the fact that she made a lot of her looks is insane. I think whoever they choose for the win is sending a clear message about their brand. If Sapphira wins, they're going down the classic route of the best and most consistent in the competition wins. She only had one stumble, but it still didn't even make her look bad. She's drag perfection and is here to educate the children. If Nymphia wins, it's showing that they're dedicated to the new generation. The younger, fresher queens are here to stay, and the opinions of the fans are loud and clear. Making an impression, starting strong and ending strong, is paramount. Plus, it'd be really nice to see another Asian winner. If Plane wins, it's about the entertainment and drama. Yes, Plane did an amazing job in the challenges, but what really sets her apart from the other two is her ability to catch the camera no matter where she is. She played an extremely smart game, going in and catering directly to Ru while establishing herself as the villain, then taking the audience on a journey to show that she's not a bad person, she's got a great sense of humor and has that "wink wink nudge nudge, hey I know I'm on TV" type of attitude. Even if she doesn't win the crown, she's won the season by being the person nobody can stop talking about. I think we can all agree that the two who don't win are top of the list for All Stars and are going to be perfectly fine in their careers

Kudos for spilling sisterrr. I would argue that 2nd gen drag race started with S9 (lady gaga, lsftc, maskgate, rose petals, best friends race, etc), but overall I agree with most points spilled. I just hope drag race wont end up like antm where it lost steam even after introducing wackier twists

I liked the chocolate and the Porkchop Lounge. I also like Down Under. I think RuPaul is very free there. It’s sad they don’t have a bigger budget and that RuPaul will not host it anymore. It would be so good if RuPaul could go to every international franchise for the final episode.

Been here since season ONE and I can confidently say that season 16 is the best we've seen in a while

I’m a newer fan that got into the show in 2022 but I love the older seasons more bc I just love how unfiltered the queens were with their thoughts and emotions. There was sm drama happening with very iconic moments which made an entertaining watch. While the new seasons barely have any drama but S16 has had some great drama and some very shady queens which made it really entertaining. The top 3 honestly any one of them could win the crown and I wouldn’t complain but I think Nymphia will be winning.

Great Video! I'm a new comer to Drag Race (I've only been watching for 2 years), but I've seen every season and I love your commentary on the history and evolution of it. Thank you!

The "single digit" queens boast about their season but imo most of them have become irrelevant with exception of a select few. There's so much drag nowadays that most queens do become forgettable fast. The "double digit" seasons are just as good, the perspective may be a little different but I really see no difference in quality or entertainment. Drag like most things changes with the time and I really don't mind.

Mama, should have mentioned that Sasha was a Fulbright scholar. Very competitive scholarship which notable alumni includes current PM of UK

"But they still have an online voice within the online discussion of the episodes that happen online" killed me ❤

I’m so thankful I found the show when I did back when season 2 and 3 were on US Netflix. Season 5 was the first season I watched while it was airing, and it was so easy to go back and watch season 1 and 4. I have been a fan since about 2012, and I am so happy to see more fans finding the show! I know it is a lot to catch up on, especially with all the international franchises (I do not even keep up with them all as a super fan!) and I am thankful for channels like yours that give new fans a history lesson on the older seasons!

I feel like season 16 kind of reassured us for that question we have since season 10-11, “Are Rupaul’s drag race slowly dying?” We have seen so many long running reality tv shows died, like ANTM, project runway, top chef, X factor, the voice, these series where they initially garnered so much following and viewership, but dwindled down to something that was a shell of its former self. Drag race does have a tendency of going that way in the early 2020s, but season 15 and 16 sort of reinvigorated the show and let us know that drag race is not going down that path any time soon

My favorite seasons from the 1st gen are seasons 4,5,6,9

I remember stumbling upon Season 7 when the finale of the season aired and I was so intrigued by the queens and their artistry that throughout 2015 I watched the og seasons and became a fan 🪭. Honestly, Drag Race Espana is my favourite series of the franchise)

I've followed the show from ep 1 S 1 - I still do and love it. Even if not every season is great... I enjoy the content you make a lot and I think it is good there is some mystery of what happened really behind the scenes and what production decided... I think it is more fun that way. Why ask for T if there was none there to sip.... you know ;)

Season 16 feels like a turning point. There was shade and some cattiness but there was also so much love and enjoyment on screen. Someone was friends with at least another queen. While messiness and drama and delusion is often what people crave, I feel like honestly Gen Z is the first generation of queer contestants whose childhoods and experiences, while not perfectly free from queerphobia, are on average far less viscerally traumatic as 30+ year old queens. A lot of the personalities we think of when thinking of drag queens-mean, bitchy, spiteful, catty, rude, delusional-are often a response to bullying and discrimination and the fear of being assaulted or outright murdered for being queer. It’s their armor, but sometimes the armor rusts while they’re still wearing it and it ends up scraping them up in the process of protecting them. So many drag queens in previous seasons have struggled with drinking and drug abuse which often manifest in people as responses to a libertine lifestyle often indulged to kill some pain felt elsewhere. We still have a long way to go to make queer people feel safe and protected, but queer kids are coming of age in an era where there is a greater widespread acceptance of femmes, trans, and NB peeps. There is also greater awareness and understanding of mental health, and so people who know better, often *do* better. That’s why even Plane Jane, the supposed villain of the season and closeted and repressed growing up, still had enough self-awareness to be receptive to Sapphira’s insight as to why Plane is so critical of other queens. Plane has enough emotional maturity to be self-reflective. On top of all that, maybe I’m in the minority, but I would rather watch a reality TV show where people are competing with good sportsmanship than breed toxicity and rivalries with each other. That’s why the All Winners season is my all time favorite: The queens still made good TV because they were focused on doing their best and having fun. That’s my personal preference, though.

One aspect I think you missed was that the second generation was the first time the series became a lot more trans-friendly. With the rewording the the intro catchphrase, removing trans slurs and allowing out trans queens to compete. I think this led to a new audience of trans folk who, for the first time, didn't have to cringe when watching it. That said, I also love the single-digit seasons! I don't mind a bit of cringe. But seasons 13-15 were VERY refreshing in terms of the queens. Yes, the chocolate bar sucked. (A trans perspective..)

S16 has been absolutely great in my opinion! It's my favorite double digit season. I love especially how many little moments there are of the queens reading each other in the werkroom and the confessionals have been really entertaining as well.

Honestly. I loved season 14 for being the first non elimination season. 13 I wasn't hoping symone won. Just that everyone else lost. 15 was just waiting for Sasha to stop blocking the mother toilet with her mother dumps long enough to be crowned. 12 had a straight up sexual predator and was still more watchable than a few of the classic seasons for me.

are we not gonna talk about miss trxie being in one of the porkchop photos in her best look ever?

ive been watching since season 1 but season 9 has to be my fave because i feel like it had the aspects of those golden 456 seasons but also a modern aspect which is in the newest seasons.

I remember *illegally streaming the first season on my PC and thinking that the season 1 filter was in fact my computer acting up or the download being a bit dodgy.

Yk one thing that I like about the new seasons is the fact that Michelle visage seems so much nicer - I remember her being really shady and other queens openly being scared and/or not liking her and maybe it’s with the whatcha packin episodes that show more to her than what they do on the show (or maybe it’s just other judges and ru saying some out of pocket stuff (ie; the H&M outburst on uk season 2 😅)) but it seems like she has such a good connection with these queens and it’s so nice to see her break the mold of being just “the mean judge” honestly, I love her 💕

i am a newer fan of rpdr (started on 2022) and drag in general and i cannot imagine watching the newer seasons without having watcj every other older season. the very first season i watched was season 5, and i was hooked, but there were also a lot of things i didn’t understand, which i understood after watching the seasons before. honestly, there are just so many reference of drag race in drag race that you really are missing a whole lot if you don’t watch at least every regular season, and tbh, it is very worth it!

I've been watching since season 1 and season 16 has taken over a spot somewhere in my top 5. I absolutely adore this season.

As an OG fan, I did not feel very attacked watching this video. Seeing this show evolve over the years has been a fun ride. There are lots of things to critique about the show. I’m glad it’s here. I was glad to see Ru back on tv because she was such an important aspect of my childhood and that of many other Black and non Black queer youth of the 1990s.

As an "OG" fan I really enjoyed season 12 it had a lot going for it including the best Rusical. But I know other fans that thought it was lackluster. Season 12 (2 UK 5 Allstars and 1 Australia) was(were) the season(s) I dipped after because it became a constant things trying to keep up. Seasons 4,5,6 were the best and seasons and 2 of all stars was probably the best overall season to me. Edit: turns out I dipped after 13, makes sense

The problem with moderns seasons is that, even if they are good (some are VERY good, some are not that good), they are not as memorable as the older seasons, unfortunately...

It's like nothing more can happen naturally, it's like a lot of things must be scripted, forced, rigged etc. Older seasons were more fresh and way more natural because they weren't overproduced and forced on many aspects. Also, the lack of consistency regarding challenges and pace really doesn't help.

here is the thing. I love S14. I think for the most part the challenges were fun, and you might hate all the non-elminations but I feel like I knew those queens more then almost any other season and they were all fun to watch. it finally gave us something new other then the lipsync for the crown, Catwalk which is top tier as both a runway and a rumix, and the most important thing....Daddy Maddy.

I found out about drag race in like 2018, my friend was starting from the beginning and we watched season 5 together was so easy to binge the whole show back then, now it’s overwhelming to keep up with every franchise so I just keep up with US,UK,Thailand and Espana

As an og fan, 12 is probably the best modern season, although 16 is really good

My guess is that it's going to be Nymphia, but my pick has been Sapphira since the Meet the Queens promo.

S13 was so bad i quit RPDG for awhile. But i gave a chance to s14 and I'm happy I did that! I really enjoyed it and started watching other franchises.

I usually split generations of queens on the show and audiences based on a chain of events that happened. Like an AS season or a big or memorable event on a regular season or off the show, like an Emmy or another spin-off (or currently in the international seasons).

Wow, maybe I'm living in my own little bubble but I just always assumed that fans watched since S1. Similar to watching all the seasons of Big Brother, only to find out that more current contestants didn't even know who previous All Star Players were. We've GOT to know who the OG queens are and pay them their respects! I was watching S1-5 when I was in middle school, then 5-10 years later watched S1-12 and have been watching each season every year since. It's crazy how much this show has grown and that it's STILL being aired. Wow, time flies

This is interesting. I always assumed the season 13 split premiere/lip sync smackdown was due to the pandemic making them have fewer queens together at once, due to social distancing.

I will never get over the fact of how ableist the fandom is towards Willow Pill and Yvie Oddly - but especially Willow. As a fan of the Odd Tribe, I'm 100% aware they + Neurotica Killz have chronical and disabling health conditions. People tend to overlook this fact on Yvie (and that's a form of ableism, to not give a disability proper recognition because it's hidden) because she once could do all those acrobatic tricks - and she said herself that it's getting more and more complicated as the time goes by and she's starting to feel her joints hardening. Then we move to Willow who was heavily criticized for her reign not being a stand out. I'm a fan and I kept my eye close to her, I didn't need to wait for meme pages to write about what she was up to. She has a very serious kidney condition and famously used to take dozens of pills every day. Both of them were criticized when they were not available to the fans, but people simply don't give them the space they need as people with chronic health conditions/disabilities. Love my odd girls, they both have great start quality, and one can also see it if they aren't a little bicth about it.

It's such a shame that S14 was so dissapointing in terms of the twist because the theming was superb and the idea in concept would've been so cool if it weren't for the 500 double saves, it would be cool if they explored that idea once again in a later season

Season 16 had questionable wins and loses in some episodes, but we ultimately got the top 3 we all wanted. Right now, I am still an avid Nymphia fan, and I do hope she wins, but if she doesn't, I don't really mind it because both Sapphira and Plane are really deserving competitors. The production really nailed it in picking the finale queens this time because even though the fans are divided in terms of biases, we can all still agree that each of the finale queens do have a shot at the crown.

It's like Pokémon, you just gotta catch 'em all.

I got into drag race when season 8 was airing and in my opinion I think earlier seasons aren’t necessarily better, but that we have lots of nostalgia for them. I don’t find any season to be really boring or anything. I will say that I do agree with the general consensus of 13 being a weaker season, which sucks because it has so many amazing queens. I loved 12 and that season was a tough one to follow.

Season 1 OG at fourteenth I never I thought that I would be 30 watching drag race.

what u said about the recent winners kinda makes me want Plane 2 win even tho I think its more plausible 4 Sapphira or Nymphia. A villain winner is just not smth that happens. Plane is also unexpectedly very iconic. gr8 as a retrospective winner.
