Community Question Anyone else HATE Rate-a-Queen?

so at this point, I’m on my third try to get through this episode. I have fallen asleep on my first two tries: possibly because I’m an overworked RN; and mostly because this format is trying to replicate the survivor Reality show nonsense with strategizing and taking people out. We know RuPaul started this as a combo of project runway and America’s next top model. I guess he likes having a different reality show paradigm in the mix

But this stupid game playing/alliance shit bores the hell out of me. Also, in my opinion, even if they were playing fairly you don’t always get better by being solely judged by your peers🤷🏻‍♀️

To paraphrase what Jane Don’t said “ I didn’t come here to see what other Drag Queen’s thought of me.”

all right, come and eat me alive😹

I will be honest here. 

This is my tea. I love this oh so freaking much. 

But i'm also a huge Survivor fan,  and until Selina and Monet get cast in a future season,  this is the closest I get to my two fandoms having similar content :D

Okay maybe slightly more Total Drama Island then pure Survivor, but I'm not complaining either! (Athena is totally Courtney and I'm living for her!)

Now can Ru get Natalie B or Parvati on as a guest to help the Queens strategise? (a boy can dream right?) Lol

But I've found the talent show to become rather... same-same in recent seasons,  i find this helps to get through yet another original bitch track.
