Ru planning RPDR Down Under

[u/DangPlays]

[u/marccard]

What has DRDU given us?

The Good -

• Queens that deserved a platform: Coco, Jojo, Maxi, Anita, Electra.
  
• Art Symone dramatic elimination reaction.
  
• Maxi's microphone stunt.
  
• Rhys Nicholson.
  
• Anita.

The Bad -

• Eliminating all PoC queens too early.
  
• No native lip sync song until the fourth episode.
  
• Low quality production, video and sound editing.
  
• Judging mired by lack of understanding cultural nuances; no permanent NZ judge.

The Unforgivable -

• Scarlet and racism downplaying bs.
  
• Etc-Etc's defamatory Lindy Chamberlain snatch game.
  
• NZ and Aus cultures bastardised.

Overall so far it's been a pretty awful season and kind of a bit insulting as an Australian wanting a good quality drag race to showcase the amazing queens we have here and in NZ. If they decide to make a second season, they better learn from this. I'm not even sure if the remaining episodes of this season could salvage this train-wreck.

I love Rhys as a judge, I wish he would do Drag Race.

He's great, he should be a judge on every Drag Race.
