Disabled people or anyone born with physical differences have a lot of interesting histories because we have never been accepted, by an society throughout history. Ableism is as old as the Spartans throwing disabled and "deformed" babies off of cliffs to maintain the strength of their warrior race. And ableism has continued into modern day fascism with the Nazis putting the disabled in concentration camps. The US Eugenics movement had us sterilized and put into institutions. We have histories that need to be remembered so that they stop being repeated.

A season can be messy production-wise, and still be a good season. The fact that Violet points out herself how there's been so many group and performance challenges, as opposed to challenges that force the queens to work for themselves, tells me that the cast and challenges were indeed a mismatch. It doesn't mean the season was TERRIBLE, it just leaves the audience wondering how certain cast members would have faired with a better balance.

@G-Hop226

Жыл бұрын

I think Ginger has also said that when she had went on Drag Race, she had been doing drag for 10 years at that point so she felt like an older queen and the older queens were the ones who taught her so much and she came up with them so of course it makes sense why she would identify with them more.

In regards to Violet's edit, I think there was such a big disparity between the editing of Untucked and the main show. It seemed like the editors on the main show were angling for Ginger to be a loveable clown with Violet being a cold bitch, but Untucked had Ginger painted as a bitter old lady and Violet as a steely underdog with a sweet interior. So people who watched the main show without Untucked were unsatisfied with Violet taking the crown because they perceived her as a bitchy fashion robot with no heart or redeemable personality. But people who did watch Untucked saw Ginger's true colours especially in the last episode, which made her come across as a sore winner with an entitled attitude. In the end the winner was always going to be super divisive because Katya rose to stardom, so it was a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. In saying all this, Violet is one of my favourites ever and I honestly think Ginger was judged way too kindly with some of her wins but both are amazing queens.

I don’t know if you have talked about it or not, but the rise of Trixie always fascinates me. How did she crawl her way out of this season to one of the top Ru Girls? Not sure if you would make a video like that but honestly have been fascinated it. Especially after watching her in this season!

At the time, the fans started a whole #justicefortrixie thing on Twitter because so many people felt she should not have been eliminated. To the point where rupaul even commented on it saying that people were literally begging her to flip her decision and how these people didn’t know that this stuff was filmed a year earlier. A lot of Trixie fans also felt like she was unfairly put in the bottom with Ginger. So after the season, people were begging WoW for months to have Katya and Trixie on a show of some kind and they guest hosted an episode of Fashion Photo Review where they reviews the looks of Raja and Raven. I don’t even think they were that close at the time but they had good chemistry and the show got a ton of views. They then got their own WoW show. I think what helped Trixie was that she was very open about losing drag race twice, which is funny because it was true and there had only been one All Stars at the time so not many people could say that. She seemed to be one of the first queens who coped with losing in a way that was actually funny and very public

I think the funny part is Katya could have won. When Trixie and Katya talk about season 7 on their show Trixie mentions how Katya was making her outfit and someone said that she knows how to design and sew so why doesn't she start over to make something better and Katya's response was "I don't wanna." She literally was too lazy to try and make a better hello kitty outfit and honestly...it's hilarious because there are a lot of us who probably would have done the same thing. She was the most relatable queen that whole season.

The way this season’s untucked is the best and basically it’s own show (not just a little after show for the main one) and i watch it religously says a lot. Also, this season not having a clear front runner is tbh the smartest thing production has done because people will always talk about it. Love it sm especially no one could deny anyone’s talents so they go for personality LOL

Max remains one of my fave queens to ever appear on the show. I would love to see her return in an All Stars, I feel she would kill it if she is in the right mind set considering how she got two wins in the short time she was there.

i love that the “villain” won this season. it’s sososo different. usually the antagonist is a runner up or third place but here, she WON. which makes me so happy.

i think even sasha belle got a mini storyline. i forget exactly what she said but basically she had studied the show and thought she had figured out a plan exactly how to win. then she realizes its harder than it seems on tv with the “i misunderstood the assignment” and trouble with her wig(s) moments. you could argue every queen has the experience of thinking they can win and then not winning but with sasha its presented as a reality check for people at home thinking “i could do that”

The conjoined twins makeover, the double win snatch game (Pearl was robbed of a top placement) John Waters episode, so many great moments. I truly don’t understand the season 7 hate.

to me, violet always made sense as a winner. her fashion is just so on point and she showed a lot of growth in the acting, dancing and singing performances that it felt like she had earned it. like you said, she also started to soften out and begin to actually form bonds with the other queens which makes her more likeable as well. on the other hand, ginger and kennedy, like you said, were just too bitter and never managed to develop, in a sense. esp kennedy, always seemed very unable to see the flaws in herself, but honestly that might be the edit, because she also seems to be a gentle and kindhearted person at other points.

I really wasn't aware of how much story there actually was to season 7 and it is making me see it in a whole new light. It really had some of the most interesting characters and character dynamics we've ever had on Drag Race. Such an insightful video!

In regards to the conjoined twin challenge, the Top 3 was Violet, Fame & Katya. Pearl didn't make over Trixie to look like herself and those outfits were brought from home. Fame actually made hers from scratch and painted Kandy DOWN, she looked phenomenal, but storywise they couldn't do much with Kandy and it was way too late to have Fame get a win. I fear it is the same for Kasha returning. The win that made the most sense was Violet & Max, in my opinion. Max is the only one who could've done anything as a returning queen, having missed no episodes and already having more wins than almost everyone remaining if she were to return. And Violet made Max look completely different, she was stunning. Maybe I'm biased cause I love Violet, but it still makes the most sense to me for her to win that.... And have 4 wins, yup yup yup I said it.

Plus yes, I'm definitely one of those crazy for Katya fans. She's my favorite queen of all time because of her spirit and person. Plus again, we got Katya and Trixie and their show, which has a therapeutic value to countless humans (myself included) and that cannot be understated. Violet gagged me and had me from tartan 🙌 I tend to naturally veer towards the more obviously nicer (there are much better words I want that I can't think of atm) types but Violet struck me more as confident than shitty. Tbh I never bought the narrative being sold about her and when her redemption story started I was just like "yeah, duh". I DEFINITELY was rooting for Ginger in the beginning but that did change, I think a little bit prior to the makeover episode. The old lady bitter brigrade wore on me fast. Bitter being the key word there. It's just not a good look. Maybe if I rewatched now as an old lady (jk but old enough) I'd feel differently but I do feel this is one of those things I remember pretty well. Kennedy's final look was to fucking diiiiieeee for but again, the OLBB storyline did her in for me early on. Anyway, I always liked Violet, thought she was incredible, and was completely satisfied with her win. She earned that shit. I thought Pearl got too much shit. Fame too for that matter. I can't stand it when these shows go in on people not having super loud personalities. They did the same thing on ANTM and it's annoying. I get it's TV though. But it's still annoying to watch as someone who doesn't gaf about the dramatics (and that is ultimately what got me to quit DR..along with the riggory I can't lie) and just strictly enjoys getting to watch drag queens do drag. I liked Pearl fine, and I LOVED her do I have something on my face line to Ru. It's very understandable why most of them essentially kissed Ru's ass (again, same with Tyra on ANTM) but I love it when they dare to be spicy or don't play along..well as far as I know that was a legitimate moment. ANYWAY I do love this season. I can somewhat understand the complaints---I DEFINITELY thought there were too many comedy challenges, even as a newbie, and I have the benefit of watching 4-6 AFTER I watched S7. I can appreciate the difference and how it must've felt for those that had already been watching. But S7 is special to me, it's my favorite, and tbh, I consider the most gloriousness of Drag Race glory to be S5-S7 (+AS2). Don't come for me, s4 is fabulous okay 💃

Thankx so much for the s7 video , i´ve been waiting to see it for months , i really apreciate it

The timing of this video is crazy because i started watching drag race a year ago and i started with season 7 and now im rewatching it as an anniversary type deal. Kinda unrelated to the video but i see the season through a whole different lens since ive seen the whole series and all stars now. Like when i first watched, ginger was my favorite but now i realize they kinda made her seem like a jerk. And i didnt like pearl very much, but upon rewatching i really loved her because “do i have something on my face?” is TOOOO iconic, like she has to be one of my favs forever just for that. I didnt realize the impact of that moment the first time i watched. Ultimately i do love the season, the queens were iconic, i love miss fame, and violet and katya’s prancing queens dance was truly beautiful to me because they killed it in the outfit department, they looked beautiful together and if i was 13 i would have shipped them because of that dance

So excited for the next part!!! Amazing video as always, seeing this posted was the highlight of my week

On why Trixie suddenly is a friend with Ginger. Trixie has said that she won a phone call home for a mini challenge and she gave it to Ginger because of how much Ginger missed her husband. This probably happened in the John Waters episode with the reading challenge. Why was it cut? Probably because they had no reason to make Trixie look sympathetic since production did not care for her anyway nor did they care to give Ginger workroom air time as something other than a bitter queen.

I love this season so much!! It introduced so many of my all-time favourites: Ginger - one of the most naturally talented and versatile queens to ever grace the main stage. Trixie and Katya - two of the most likeable and endearing queens to grace the show and Violet - the fashion goddess!! Kennedy is soooo fierce and underrated and I absolutely adore Jaidynn, Pearl and Mrs Kasha Davis!! ❤️ Also the fact that the entire Top 6 (besides Pearl) returned for All-Stars and either won or finished as a runner-up for the crown just shows how talented these girls are!! 👑💅

Did Kennedy know the words in the Rusical? It looked like she was just moving her lips at one point.

When i see the notification of yours videos i really fell happy, i love your videos, make my day more happier Kiss for Brazil ❤️

The season with one of the best Untucked in the whole show. Where the level of fun and comedy is extremely high and drama is more petty and classic, than dirty and uncomfortable to watch. Season 7 clearly had some of the weirdest challenges and not necessarily good writing or production. But the cast is one of the strongest group of good personalities we ever had.

Do all of the seasons! Watching you break them down is a blast!

Season 7 is absolutely one of my favorite seasons period. It was one of the first seasons I watched while it was happening (I *was actuality rooting for Violet from the moment she walked in, and I kinda related to her ngl). I was 15, and I loved the drama of it all. Maybe I’m biased due to nostalgia, but I don’t think so. I watched it again recently and had so much fun ❤

Also I remember when Violet said “I think the top 3 should have been me, Ginger, and Katya, but then I wouldn’t have won”

@@queenrayna yep cause fan favourite is hard to beat especially when the other two winners perception aint so good. ahem.......sharon needles. Ahem.....jinkx. not that jinkx didnt deserve to win, she is a legend and she is amazing but roxxy and alaska were never going to win over her esp after rolaskatox.

Such a great video! Thank you!

Ginger at the top 4 episode saying that Pearl shouldn't be in the top 3 bc she walked away from the opportunity of a life time,,,, girl when Ginger was paired with Sasha she gave up the minute she had to sew, like she didn't even try. How's that different from Pearl?

They really hated pearl for breathing lol. She said "hello" and everyone just called her bored, not wanting to be there etc. Also idk if it's cuz I dont have my glasses, but Pearl in her little circle looks a lot like Orion to me idk. Anyways loved the video, liked the season (I've only seen untucked cuz I like free things)

18:50 - I wish I could remember where I read it but I once read that RuPaul stated he only kept Pearl throughout the season because she was a very attractive person out of drag. I don't know how much validity there is in that however.

You’re right - it was in the podcast with Michelle where Ru also talks about how she can like, emotionally destroy someone. It’s very weird lol

Give us allllllll the riggory videos please!❤️‍🔥 I love them!

Yay!!! I even recently rewatched season 7 in anticipation of this video!

Girl wym every queen had a story lmao. Kandy Ho was basically edited out of the show.

Season 7 is such an iconic season, even when the queens are doing poorly or fighting it's incredible television. Oh and my favorite winner ever, Ms Chachki!

Maybe you can come back to it but I would love to see Season 8, even if its more of a 'storylines' breakdown riggory as opposed to the regular ones. One of these years I'd love to have an entire playlist of riggory videos to plow through and rewatch if I'm feeling ill or something! ❤

Been waitiiiing for this one!!!

I got this as a recommendation from jackfed and nearly screeched at having missed it. Turn it up baby my favorite drag race analysis series is back

No way! I literally just thought it would be amazing a season 7 video, I'm so lucky, I should be in Las Vegas playing at the cassino

I wish, Pearl didnt have that bad meeting with RuPaul. We missed out on seeing Pearl really try for the crown

Good video. One interesting theory wrt crowning that you didn't discuss is that the entire season, from the casting to the judging to the order of the challenges, paved the way for a "new school" queen to win. rpdr had crowned comedy queens twice in a row. the rise of social media drag gave drag race a golden opportunity to capture a younger audience, and they took it

This season's Untucked is better than the season itself, and it's so funny to me lol Like Untucked is really good this season.

Katya, Ginger and Kennedy are the main reasons for that. People hate on them for their bitterness and shade. Like, it's a competition and TV show - what do you expect?! That's what’s making it interesting to watch!!

Allegedly, Katya’s snatch game was really good but they had to edit a whole lot of it out because it was too crass for TV? Pearl’s was definitely better from what we were shown though

Love your analysis here! I would actually like your take on S8, come on it is a short season 😉🥳🙌

omg I got the save halloween 2020 “It’s Just a Phase” sweatshirt as well from Salem!

Max was such a force this season, but was clearly not liked by production, or they just saw no value in her
