Rupaul's Drag Race Season 14: Reunion...
"How is your last name Story and you can't even read?"
- Maddy (Man, now I know for a fact she woulda crushed it not only during the reading challenge, but SnatchGame)
Man, Imma hafta avoid any and all social media for the next 2days. Why?! Cuz this review is late as shit! Tonight is the grande finale.
Before we get into the gig tho', Alstars 7: Winners just revealed their cast this week and you know what? I can't wait for May 20th! I wonder if Nina Bo'Nina Brown is gonna review this season cuz some of the queens that are on, she doesn't exactly get along with, but secretly, I'm still hoping she does cuz alot of the time, he mindset mirrors my own. I don't always agree but that's the best part of being a PIG: "Keep it cute, keep it mute or get the boot " Ya know, this should totally be a life motto.
^Our cast. Ugh, Yvie!!! (I'm Yvie Oddly and oddly enough 💚💚💚) I wish Yvie wasn't on Nina's list cuz as we all know, I'm a Yvie lover. Luckily, if Nina does do a review, she does give unbiased opinions so we're good either way.
And now…
This reunion was a reunion of moments. Before we hit the fits and fashions, I would like to talk about a few…
*** Cornbread's facial expressions the ENTIRE time. I'm pretty sure she was attempting to get either a meme, a gif, or both. Either way, it worked and if she wasn't, boom goes the dynamite! It still happened (I saw some people complaining about her "mugging", but Drag Race is basically one gigantic commercial that spans a season. If you're smart, you'll use your time wisely. Let the lady "mug"! I am so tired of people believing they have the right to police other people 🙄🙄🙄)
*** Jasmine's glow up! I'll get deeper into this when I do the fits and fashions, but damn… Yassssss!
*** The Willow erasure! I swear, she had like, one or two sentences the entire time
*** Cornbread would have rattled the wheels off of SnatchGame! I don't care, I don't care. Fight me.
*** Poor Orion… You can tell that reading isn't close to her wheelhouse. When she was attempting to string together that Cornbread out pizza's the hut, the struggle! The earth shattering struggle! Justice for Orion!
*** I like that Keri is officially referred to as Tranos cuz adding in the queens who have come out since the season's end, there were 6 trans women on this season. We love to see it! Also, I love that she calls them her "trangels". (OMC… I watched the reunion sneak peek last night and Keri is dressed up as Thanos! I'm talking glove and all! QUEEN! Imagine if she'd done purple body paint tho'.... I would have needed a higher level than queen featuring capital letters… Ooooooooh, what about Goddess? I'll go to my thinking chair and get back to y'all)
*** Orion talking about being shocked when people recognize her is the cutest thing. Only for Lady Camden to hit her with "Oh my god, we love you Kelly Mantle!" When I tell you I couldn't breathe! It was just a bad episode to be Orion 😭😭😭 (But secretly: 😂😂😂)
*** Jasmine and Daya's argument! Jasmine, Daya called you once! Why didn't you pick up the phone? The exchange got so heated that Jasmine was up on her feet shouting. I saw alot of people saying this was probably staged for TV
^😂😂😂
Imma be real here: If the acting challenges are any indicator, there's no way cuz Jasmine can't act. The most I'll say is perhaps she amped those emotions up for the cameras, but that's all I'll give her
*** Cuz Daya burst into tears, man! Unless she can cry on cue, this wasn't staged. She seemed really hurt cuz she's not a bad person, she's a passionate person. Know the difference, kids! People were sending death threats and shit like this isn't a TV show. As I've said time and time again, the fandom is the reason why Drag Race has become a shell of its former glory. If the queens keep their attitudes in check, people complain about how boring the season is. (With the exception of Season 12. People loved the peace of it all) People get the drama they ask for, they viciously attack the queens and not only threaten their lives, but the lives of their families as well. Like dude, whose life is so dull that they have time to keyboard thug drag queens knowing damn well that each year, there are online attacks?! (Usually POC) As I've said countless times, I see these people as characters on a TV show. Who you see on your screen, may not be who that queen actually is cuz drag race is a pressure cooker. They're expected to do an ass of shit in a little bit of time. Honestly speaking, when I'm feeling rushed/stressed, my attitude is mad shitty so I can only imagine what it's truly like for them in that workroom (Need I remind you that throughout Season 4 Sharon Needles was presented as the victim… See what that got us?! Iused to love her! 😭😭😭)
*** Orion and Jorgeous had a little showmance that they kept under wraps and you know what? I'm glad they did cuz the fandom woulda ripped them apart, accusing them of trying to mimic Brooklyn and Vanjie
*** Speaking of showmances, I knew it! I knew it! Angie and Lady Camden could actually be a thing. They already spend quite a bit of time together on the phone… Just wait til they get on the road! The fandom is calling it Camderia, but I prefer Lady Angie. I wonder would Ariana Grande really officiate their wedding? You know what? They should get married and have it be a special episode of Drag Race. Call it, RuPaul's Drag Race: Forever or some shit. I think it's crazy that in all these seasons, drag race hasn't created more lasting relationships. The closest we've got is Derrick Berry's throuple which includes Nebraska Thunderfuck, Alaska's drag daughter from the season 5 makeover challenge
I need to watch this episode over. I know there was another point I wanna cover. Just can't remember what it was.
*** Oh! Due to all the erasure, Maddy was ready to go! Home girl turned into a whole Beyblade with how she was letting that commentary rip. Throwing shade, talking… There was more Maddy in this reunion than there was the entirety of Season 13!
*** Then talking about Hunter being the trade of the season. Man, that is one good looking Latin man.
*** June looked damn good and she tried to read Kornbread, but Kornbread stays ready… She doesn't have to get ready! 🤣🤣🤣
You know what I just realized? I didn't like alot of the fits and fashions from the reunion… I think Imma just post my favs…
^Goddess (The fact that it says "ANKLE" instead of Willow's "ANGLE" on her entrance look.)
You know what Imma miss the most about this season?
^These five. Yes, even Daya. Gah, this season was epic
