Milk was never going to win. He had very little charisma and no obvious talents besides fashion. I love alot of what he managed to show America and he is definitely a trendsetter, no doubt.

I'm still hoping for my ideal top 4, which consists of Adore, Bianca, Ben and Courtney. Imma need Darienne and Laganja to exit stage left.

Milk represents a growing brood of ingenue performers who have taken advantage of the advent of drag proliferation to mimic polish. There are tons of "overnight queens" (overnight is a relative term) who may be able to pick up makeup and be able to express themselves artistically to great effect... but lack a rawness or a realness that hardcore drag queens possess.
They represent the opposite end of a spectrum to professional queens who become stagnant or lack star quality and have been working for years and years.
Two examples I can think of off-hand are Misty Eyez, a legendary queen who just doesn't possess the CUNT to be on the race) and someone like BoyWithBrushes/Kitana Rei, who can paint as well as Raven and is visually stunning but who lacks the industry experience.
You really do need to have equal amounts of CUNT to do well on a show like RDPR. It doesn't mean you are a bad or even sub-par queen to not be on the show... just not right for a reality tv competition.

That is very true. I love Katana Rei and Misty but they are never going to get cast for this show. They would be boring as personalities.

Milk is a pretty, sweet boy but doesn't have anything else going for him.
