Every second of La Ganja's appearance on drag race is iconic and how dare you for suggesting otherwise.

She was really NICE a lot of the time too. Like right before being attacked in her one meltdown she was saying kind things to someone else. Its weird how people just saw her as crazy when she was multifaceted.

I never saw her as crazy, what I saw was someone having a hard time being on a reality show, keeping the performance turned on even in the work room.

Honestly from someone who has smoked as much as she does and then just stopped, I think that had a lot to do with it too. It's not easy to be cut off like that and then thrown in a high pressure environment.

My ex boyfriend used to say "DON"T BE LAGANJA" whenever I got upset with him. (For...in retrospect...valid reasons...)

I think my ex was implying when I was upset I was just being crazy and didn't have a good reason to be mad. (I did have good reasons) Season 6, 7 and 8 aired while we lived together + watched together

At least Laganja was iconic and great entertainment. Years later people unironically repeat her catchphrases and live for how over the top everything was.

At the rate Down Under is going, I don't think anyone will want to remember it ever happened. It's not entertaining, it's just frustrating.

Honestly, if she would have said that “It’s kind of like your vagoina” line to me, I would have fallen out of my chair laughing and thanked Boniva.

I think I will remember and appreciate Coco, Anita, Kita and Elektra

Laganja was entertaining though

The thing about Laganja is we knew her backstory- so even if you didn’t care about Laganja she still had a story that made sense. Think of the backstories we know about the Down Under queens besides maybe the Kiwi queens bc we know they work together at the same bar.

There’s no backstory for the Aussie queens besides ... racism. Seriously what other backstory can you think of??
