now that we've gone through all the talent shows.... i will give my initial opinions on each queen of season 17. also a few weeks ago i discovered one of the drag race spoiler subreddits so i kind of know too much about the season (that hasn't been shown yet) and that mayyyyyyy affect my opinion? but like probably not

hormona lisa:
i get why the girls are mad but she seems sweet.... but also is she giving much? no. is she versatile? from all the pics i've seen of her probably not. love the name and out-of-drag vibe though

acacia forgot:
okay i find it very hilarious that her name is acacia forgot yet everyone keeps forgetting that she even exists. but yeah. hairy ass. crunchy makeup. there's that

lucky starzzz:
i feel like because her drag style is so different from what everyone else does and she may need to tailor it a little to not be too out there (kinda funny to say that about a drag queen but you get me), she might not be that versatile either? and she does come off as a bit costumey to me like sometimes it doesn't look the best quality. she seems quite reserved too but she's pretty charming

joella:
people say sam star is like an ai generated drag queen but idk i feel like joella is. or at least she's if someone from stan twitter who was like the ronniesus type became one. it's actually getting a bit funny how delusional she is because she keeps talking all this shit about the girls not being polished or entertaining and then you look at her and it's.... that. i did see someone say they want her to stay for all the episodes just to give commentary and i could vibe with that

crystal envy:
her and acacia forgot kinda blend for me..... blonde white girls. but she seems like quite the performer! her wigs so far haven't impressed me much LMAO

kori king:
it's weird because she's clearly got a good, recognisable brand for herself (kingdom, drinking dunkin all the time) but then i feel like she might reference other queens too much like i felt similarly about luxx noir london but idk she might've been better... also people hate her because she's like plane jane oh girl we expected it but TO ME she's less rancid vibes i still rock with her

arrietty:
there's something likeable about her..... her looks are nice too. her nose makeup still kinda takes me out i know that's her signature thing but WOAH. but yeah can't wait to see more tbh

lana ja'rae:
i'm not living so far... like the live fish in heels stunt pre-show may have fully put me off her omg. also being skinny isn't drag!!!!!!!!!!!!! but she's a fan favourite so idk maybe she'll grow on me though luxx never really did

lydia b. kollins:
she looks like an infant out of drag LMAOOOOOO but her outfits are cute! makeup is cute! idk not much to comment on wow i probably should've done this post in like an episode's time my bad

suzie toot:
LOVE HER idk she's so quirky and charming stop being mean about her makeup bc it actually works for her this is not an acacia forgot situation stop trying to make it an acacia forgot situation. i hope she stays for a while

onya nurve:
sorry i fw her so bad yeah people think her drag can be a bit campy but she's EXPERIENCED (obviously she's a newer queen but i mean. in life) and REAL!!!!!!! rupaul living for her is just too in line with my fantasy sorry there's something about her i love

sam star:
i get why people don't like her hell her americana pageant aesthetic has me a bit [gritting teeth emoji] HOWEVER idk there's something about her that i like maybe i'm crazy bc i also liked aiden zhane. so

jewels sparkles:
she's kinda sisterrrrrrr like she's my age (or a bit younger oop), i freaking love an arianator sorry AND she has a fucked up spine like me (although i don't think scoliosis can compare) but then her lip sync in the first episode bothered me because she kept doing the same splits and finger lick move LIKE GIRL I KNOW YOU CAN DO BETTER THIS but yeah i kinda root for her she's sweetie pie

lexi love:
winner of the season. duh. that much is obvious. i MUST spill this though.... i remember seeing a tiktok comment pre-show that said she dated an 18 year old and then today saw a tweet saying she liked a zionist comment on tiktok (or maybe it was something from a zionist/israel flag toting profile?) but that has me a bit apprehensive on supporting her. haven't seen any proof so i hope this stuff is fake because otherwise she's taking it BADDDDDDD!!!!!!

also why does this cast lowkey seem so amateur-ish so far
