@@jon.callaghan4165 It's really a bit troubling that some fans who already hated Rita seemed to be almost excited when it was re-exposed, like it gave them some legitimate ammunition to send her hate. so many people, especially fans who are black expressed sadness and disappointment, especially black French Canadians, and to have a bunch of people basically jumping at the chance to make memes out of an ultimately hurtful act is pretty messed up. it's disingenuous to use legitimately problematic actions just as fuel to send death threats or stir hate online. what matters is how everyone chooses to move forward and work towards making things better in the future for the people who were actually effected by it.

I feel that, like All Stars 6, this season is the season of redemption, with Anita being the congenial queen of the world and getting to be on a watchable season, Vanity getting her flowers that she was denied on UK3, Ra'Jah and Silky completing their 3 season-long rise to the top of the franchise, Victoria slaying a season with a style of drag she could actually be appreciated for, and Icesis showing that even though you may be the best of them all at the game, your mental health comes first.

Rita is very Quebecoise, which in Quebec works wonderfully for her, but outside of Quebec, it seems that the biases and hate towards French Canada backfires on her a bit. it's kind of a trip to see international fans hating on her (and gisele, oceane and lady boom boom) for sometimes struggling with english or calling them tacky or corny for their sense of humour / style. French Canada is a cultural bubble of sorts and there is animosity on both sides, but sending hate is never the answer.

Not mentioning Victoria's advocation and runway for the drag kings was a glaring omission of her impact on this show. That she basically forced the show, long known to completely ignore drag kings throughout its history, to showcase the talent and artistry that goes into a king's look was so fierce.

I loved Stephanie bringing up that she was the only Asian since there’s usually only 1 Asian queen on the cast every season or none at all.

You talked about in an older video on how you had comfort episodes. I consider the comedy routine just that. No elimination, great messages with Icesis leaving and amazing performances all-around make me love episode 4 so much. Thank you Canada VS The World.

Im 40 years old and only recently learned the truth of not needing to take every opportunity that comes just to avoid scarcity. It’s a really hard lesson to learn. I’m glad you and anyone else reading this are learning how to do that much earlier in your lives

I think drag race queens need a union so they can secure health benefits such as mental health services. I also think WOW should have a rule where they cannot ask a queen to compete in a competition until six months after the queens season airs and if they do they have to supply the budget for wardrobe and make-up (which honestly they should give the queens a spending budget for the season. They give money for winning challenges so we know they have money to just throw to them anyway) I say that because it's clear a lot of the queens fear they will miss an opportunity and even when the express concern producers try to convince them to do it anyway. It happened with Ginger and Icesis.

Sadly, no, Rita talking about all the hate she got won't stop toxic fans from being toxic. She's said she won't be competing again on Drag Race because the hate really affected her. It makes me really sad because as a French Canadian I've watched her evolve since her season and she's a great entertainer. Also, I feel like people are happy about Ra'jah winning not because she did the best this season, but because it's a satisfying end to her redemption story arc. Based on track record, Victoria should've won.

Rita will be hosting Drag Race Belgium, and, while she's an odd choice considering Vanessa Van Cartier is from Belgium, I think hosting is the right next move for Rita. She's funny, professional, and a great mentor to younger queens. On Canada Season 1, the producers and judges saw all the qualities that would make her a great host and, I think, that's why they raised her up so much back then. She is a wonderful ambassador of drag.

i feel that Rajah had no story line this whole season so her win felt completely unsatisfying and random, on the other hand all three other queens had a storyline, victoria with her redemption and afab representation, silky's redemption and domination of the season along with her being plus sized, and rita being the last canada queen, I do love rajah and agree with the lip syncs, but they didn't give her anything to do, I've never seen a season in which the winner had such a minor role in the storyline.

I wish it was a double so bad because I really wanted silky to win and rajah deserved her crown from as6😭💕

So glad to know the mental health video is on its way. I think this is a great example of how we can see the treatment of mental health over the years. The openness of the conversation between Baby's and Icesis's exits, and also the loss of Cherry Valentine, shows how much society has changed yet is still how hard mental health issues are to cope with. Sending everyone love who needs it today and whenever this comment is read. You're not alone ❤️ xx

i think adore was the first queen to check out because of mental health related reasons. hope you get to do the mental health video. it’s an important discussion that has to be addressed both by the fandom and the producers as well.

In the case of Rita Baga, I think the hate she received on her season came from the bad judging. She was doing well, but she didn’t deserve two of the three wins she got. I think that if the judging on her season was good, she would be a fan favorite right now. And, in words of Naysha Lopez, if you hate what happen to the queens on the show, hate the producers.

I just want to thank you for always being such a positive person in the drag race commentary community. Your videos always have a thoughtful and kind undertone.

This is honestly my favorite video of yours. So many important topics and you covered them SO WELL. Thank you!

I'm going to be totally honest, I never really connected with Victoria on UK3. I didn't dislike her, I thought she was talented and deserved to be there, but of course her run was super short and it felt more like they were going for the "omg look at the cis girl!!!" angle rather than highlighting her as a person. It almost made me feel guilty as a cis woman myself because I didn't just immediately love her. But this season, she easily became one of my favorites ever. She's so genuinely lovable, charismatic, skilled, thoughtful, and fun to watch. I really appreciate that this season they just let Victoria shine and didn't try to overemphasize her labels. As much as I adore Ra'Jah and Silky and wanted them to win since day 1, I was definitely team Victoria after seeing her blossom on this season.

I immediately thought of you, Jack, when I learned the winner! SO EXCITING!!!

The importance is that RAJAH FINALLY FUCKING WON!!!!

honestly, i am so glad to see someone watch and appreciate this season for what it did. all i saw were instagram comments saying this season was boring, or people attacking victoria for multiple reasons. usually, i purposefully stay away from the fandom and only watch your and some other youtubers’ videos about drag race, because i know there will be no malice to any queen and instead, a civil discussion on a specific topic, so thank you for pointing out what made this season so important when i struggled to truly put it into words. i loved this season. i went in supporting rajah, i came out with an appreciation for every single queen. by the last episode, i thought that i would be okay with everyone taking it. to see ra’jah take this feels so correct, and i could not shut up about it for a day. thank you for talking about this season! i hope 2023 will be less stressful to you and have lots of well-timed, great opportunities that won’t be too much.

That final Lipsync had me revitalized watching the show more than even all winners. I knew either Raja or Silky would win but Raja is my OG! When they said her named i felt genuinely happy for her.

Thank you so much for all the content you create ! I truly enjoy it but please never feel pressured to upload always more and more. Mental health is crucial.

You are so good at making videos! You explained everything perfectly!!

Very well put, Jack! Who cares if there wasn’t any drama or fights or things like that? Yes, those moments can be memorable but what really makes a great season, in my opinion, is the talent showcased and the stories being told and this reason really hit the nail in the head for me! Way to cap the biggest year for Drag Race so far and set things up for the future!

This is delightful I’m glad this cast brought out so many conversations we need to ask in the community I hope people look back on this season with fondness in time tho we could really do with more episodes to let them all shine thoroughly

I thought it was absolutely Victorias time and would have loved to see her not only winning the season but also the crown.

I stay OBSESSED with Icesis- not just because I live in El Salvador. She is hands down my favorite queen of all franchises. Her humor, her MAKEUP, her story- it is ALL. To see her step down and take care of herself on this season honestly makes me happier than seeing her win again. This is a message that we need more than ''push yourself to win at all costs.'' That is a story that we NEED on TV and the way the show handled it in a loving and supportive way made my day. Icesis encarna la fuerza salvadoreña

Thank you for taking the time to talk with sensitivity about mental health. As a self-employed person, I can relate to your fear of missing out on opportunities. Drag queens are basically self-employed too, so for most queens they never know when their next paycheck is gonna come. That can create anxiety and a lot of pressure to keep hustling. I'm touched that you want to make a video about mental health in the Drag Race community. Our queens deserve more support and understanding from the fans, and I think you're in a great position to shift the needle in the right direction, even in a small way. ❤️

I have an unpopular opinion but please don't crucify me I'm a black woman with my own perspective. I want representation but asking for more black queens to be cast on shows like drag race Uk ignore the fake that the black population is about 3.3% of Uk. I think more important are things like avoiding type casting, stereotypes, pitting queens of color against each other etc. Hope that makes sense

What I like about your channel is that your criticisms make sense and you have a good attitude towards Drag Race. You are also literate, which is very pleasant to the eye.

Totally relate to your points on your overworking. I finished a 5 year course this year and started another year of study thinking that I needed to work hard now to improve things later. It did not help my exhaustion or depression as you can imagine 😅. So important to give ourselves proper rest

And also thank you for talking about the race issues in drag race. Often, black queens are pushed to be the loud sassy angry black girl and are still underrrepresented. Lots of love from Germany ❤❤❤ (which will finally be getting its own drag race next year!)

It seems that all the outcasts from their season were there for redemption Bravo

Lovely video! I’m a big fan of your channel and all the discussions of representation on the show. One thing about your discussions of Victoria Scone is that it’s not really true that not a lot of lesbians do drag queen work - I’m a drag king myself and I’d say I know more lesbian drag queens than I do male queens or drag kings. It can appear that not many lesbians or women are queens, but that’s because they’re hardly talked about or shown in mainstream media. It feels like nitpicking but with a community already so cast to the wayside and ignored I think it’s important to acknowledge them! Fabulous video, keep taking care of yourself and I’m so excited to see your videos in 2023!

It was an alright season but damn vs the world need to be longer to have better storylines

Why is no one talking about Trudeau! That was a HUGE moment in the franchise and sooooo important to see a global leader in the work room. So happy Canada could make that happen and be a trailblazer!

LOVE this! Just one question tho: If you believe that CVTW was the last season in this “era of drag race” (which I honestly agree with), where would Drag Den/Painted w/ Raven S2 (the only other seasons airing rn) fit? Again, love this, but that is the only thing I have left wondering! :)

Ok but how about a double crowning between Rajah and Silky??

I did a 180 on both Silky and Ra’jah from the first season to All Stars 6. I realized that they are incredible, amazing, and super talented queens. I didn’t watch this season of Canada vs the world but I’m very happy for Ra’jah. ❤

Thank you Jack for commenting so positively about Victoria Scone calling out misogyny. In support of Victoria’s call, I would like to make two points about misogynist things on RPDR that have upset me as an ardent drag race fan and lesbian. 1. use of the term fishy - whilst some of your commenters believe it is not misogyny because they have not personally experienced the word used against them in that way or they believe it means something else in American history, I can tell you it definitely has been a put down for women for a very long time. The first time I heard it, in the 80s, not in America, I asked the person why they used that word. I was clearly told it was because women’s vaginas smell like fish. So whilst people say that is not the origin of the word and it doesn’t mean that at all, the reality is to a lot of people who use the word and have it used against them, fishy does mean the smell of a women’s vagina and it is used as a put down. 2. the way a few drag queens use breasts disrespectfully. Yara Sofia was one of my favourite queens until All Stars where she wore a massive breast plate with huge pendulous breasts in the talent show. She was punching her breasts and swinging them round and everyone was laughing. Most women with large breasts spend their lives hiding their breasts and coping with life with them and avoiding the constant hassle that comes our way (from men) for having them. We don’t swing them around or punch them. No woman punches their own breasts! It really hurt to watch that scene and while that is the worst example, there have been the other odd drag queen who has punched their breast plate for some kind of attempt to get a laugh. I find it super disrespectful to women to see drag queens punch themselves in their breast to add humour, and it is particularly unpleasant for women with large breasts who yet again see ourselves being mocked and objectified for what nature has given us. This is literally punching down ‘humour’. I am totally fine with queens wearing breast plates otherwise - most treat them like breasts and don’t make them the object of mockery. I find breast punching very misogynistic. I think imbued in the art of drag for many queens is a respect for women. You hear that from many queens how it is their mother, aunty or important female figure in their life who has inspired them. So when drag is used to disrespect women and especially, to mock and disrespect breasts, something very associated with being a woman, I think it negates the spirit of drag.

This season was a very good one

i feel like this season had so much potential to be loved but everyone was too busy shitting on rita like they did cdr1

Anita and Stephanie after watching this video would be like: fuck my drag, right??? 😂😂😂

I really don't have much to say that others have. I think the queens this season were absolutely incredibly talented however, asides from the fact we barely got to see that due to the length of this season, they were amazing! Personally I lived for this top 4 & didn't mind any of them winning.

I’m terrified that global all stars will replace vs the world. It’s my fave I love the format

i completely agree w the point that there's a ton of misogyny in the gay community, and i really enjoyed my introduction to victoria scone, but is fishy really a negative word to the point it shouldn't be used? maybe i'm detached from the negativity bc i see it as a complimentary when gia gunn says like "I'm feeling my fish fantasyyyy" or w/e. and a coochie does smell like fish if you don't wash it! it's just how the body works. if she would've said it's problematic bc not all women have vaginas i would get it more. i've never seen a cis woman as a drag queen so i was happy to have her open my eyes in that way but maybe i need them opened a little more

The play on words with someone’s private parts smelling like fish had nothing to do with it at first, and then became a double-entendre. To me, it’s the same way British people reacted to when Lizzo used “spaz”.

I think for someone trying to engage with drag culture Victoria comes off as not really understanding the context and history behind the word fishy. Stephanie and other contestants of the show are clearly using fishy in a complimentary manner.

Rest is revolutionary. If you don't choose rest, your mind and body will make the decision for you.

Silky’s wigs were the villain on this season.

Comment for engagement and the algorithm

I feel that C vs the World was more satisfying to watch than UK vs the World, partly because it keeps up its energy throughout the whole season, unlike UvtW which experiences an immediate and irreversible energy loss the moment Pangina got Manila'd. I think the only way to improve CvtW is if you have such a small cast, just don't send any of them home, use AS7 rules to block/give points!

IM GETTING SO SICK OF BEING “UNSUBSCRIBED” TO THIS CHANNEL! I WANT MY JACK FED KZread! 😂

It’s so weird cause I have mixed feelings about the winner Like Rajah was overdue the perfect redemption win in AS6, but this season felt so much more like Silky’s storyline. And yet ANOTHER season where we snub a big girl winner. Silky underwent an even bigger redemption than Rajah imo.

If Rita did super good in a challenge people would say she was favours and if she did bad then people would say she deserved it and should go home just leave Rita be

Something I don't think anyone brought up about Rita is that she openly spoke about doing blackface BEFORE Canada season one. She apologized before she became globally famous. It isn't my apology to accept, but there's something venomous about bringing up something a performer didn't attempt to hide and openly condemned.

Doing blackface is one of the most disrespectful things you can do to the black community. Period. And it will be something she has to explain over and over and over again. Some people will accept it. Some people won't. And people who meet her specifically black queens might have reservations about befriending her because of that. (regardless if you apologized). She will never be the victim in this situation. Now if anyone is bullying her for that. Bullying is wrong period! But If people dislike her for it or want to bring it up. It's not your place or problem to try to mute conversation by victimizing Rita for her past behavior. you said it yourself it's not your apology to accept. And it's also not your issue to refute! You using an apology and condemnation as validation of why this topic being brought up is venomous. When an apology and condemnation was the least she could do after mocking an entire culture? Wdym!! No she didn't have to. But to keep her reputation in tact of course she would. What matters is her action's and she will always be under a microscope from p.o.c waiting for a slip up. (Because she's on thin ice). And that's sad that it's reality but it's sadder that she put herself in that position. None of us would have something to watch out for if she didn't act out. (i want to clarify my brother or sister i am not coming for you. I'm just having a dialogue Don't take anything as disrespect or shade and let's talk) I understand your perspective but reality is this hurt people. Blackface goes way back. For example. When slave's were freed. White people would make cartoon like comics. Of black people with giant lip's and etc( playing on stereotypes ) eating watermelons . You can findnthis yourself. Freed slaves made a living off of selling watermelons because they weren't offered jobs, had no education, still was enslaved just not physically and segregated. Then it became white men in black face saying the most racist things you can imagine in plays, performances and etc. This is sensitive and is deeper than the gay community and drag community it's just about humanity brother or sis. That's all. It hurts that after all this time we still have to revisit this. An apology is nothing when you don't know the history of why this was offensive.

@@r.j5344 The person who said it Kimora Amour, said Rita's apology is sincere, but she's going to keep bringing it up to remind her of her actions. She condemned the bullying but said on IG she would keep bringing it up. She said "I'm not.trying to cancel you but" in that same post. Saying "I believe your apology but I'm going to keep publicly blasting you" that is straight up vindictive. This brought the bullying and harassment BACK as it was intended to. I hear you loud and clear, but my issue is with the person that brought it up and the admittance of how they will continue.

Errmmmm yall can fight me, but it probably was one of the worst seasons of drag race. At least in my opinion. Not bc of the queens, but probably because of the dynamics that they tried/failed to explore all at once.

I agree. I would also nominate drdu season 1, drag race Italia season 1, and drag race Netherlands seasons 1-2 as worse

It still baffles me how Drag Race has a diversity problem. Having an American or UK cast of 10-14 queens and only having like 2 Black queens and 1 Asian queen is absurd. It's more understandable for franchises like Thailand or the Netherlands but representation of Black queens and other queens of color should not be an issue on any version hosted by Ru 🤷🏾‍♀️ I need WOW to get it together

It's so nice to hear you speak of equality and representation on a show like Drag Race and the lovely wrap you gave on everyone but the Down under girl. You glossed over Anita Wigglet like she didn't exist and as a proud Australian I had to point out your hypocrisy. It's so easy to point fingers when you don't own mirror's.

I LOVE Anita but this video was talking about the queens in terms of story and I just didn’t think she had enough to talk about on this season. Same with Kendall who I also adore. I could have put in a blurb about their runs but I don’t think it would have fit the theme of the video

One thing I don't think we've acknowledge is whether Icesis really had a choice going back. I wonder ( speculating here) if she was contractually made to and she thought that she would walk out as her way of letting the Producers know she didn't agree to going back. I'm sure she knew that they wouldn't kick her out before halfway through the competition but probably also knew it was highly unlikely Producers would want the past winner crowned again so probably left before she got a controversial elimination( which I think would've been likely) like a Manilla moment.

I think Victoria is just confused, as the term fish does not make reference to that bad stereotype about odors of the vagina. If it did, sure, the conversation would be so justified. The conversation about not bad mouthing women's parts is important, but let's not applaude a confused approach to the topic just because it is an important one, it does harm more than does good for the cause of correcting problematic aspects of the culture.

I think it’s cool that every era of drag race has a good season The good seasons in eras Era 1: season 2 Era 2: season 3 and 5 Era 3: season 6 Era 4:season 9 Era 5:season 12(I feel like this is its own era wierdly season 12 feels like a dry season like visually everything looks dry makeup,color schemes,lighting,wigs still a good season) Era 6:season 14 I Also think season 7 and 8 are in there own era but the good season from that is all stars two not a main series

AS6 and Canada vs The World are def the best seasons in recent years

I feel like rajah got her moment on AS6. Even though I'm happy with her win, I think Silky performed better on this season and didn't really get to showcase as much on AS6, so hoped the Crown would go to her.
