So my husband and I are avid viewers of all the English language versions of the Drag Race franchise. We started watching the series with the premiere of the very first episode of the very first American season. But we often have very different feelings about the contestants.

I was kind of rooting for Hormona Lisa from the beginning of season 17 just because all the other queens seemed to hate her, so my instinct to cheer for the underdog came out. I did initially find her a bit annoying but now I find her endearing. However, she gets on my husband's nerves. So we had mixed reactions to her elimination. Thoughts?

I have a soft spot for Hormona, but she (and some others) are being extremely one dimensional. Like... have y'all watched the show? It's just weird to me after 17 seasons that queens keep auditioning and don't understand that they need to 1. Have a personality 2. Know how to sew 3. Be versatile 4. Know how to make Ru laugh. This is not the first seasons!

Anyone on the show is so talented at something and it must feel awful when they don’t get to show it. But, because of the saving they all each got at least 3 episodes to meet the world, right? So, that’s good, at least.

I just wonder if maybe she showed us a good majority of what’s in her wheelhouse (fun energy, beautifully constructed garments, great make-up, etc.). If there’s something she didn’t get a chance to show I definitely would be curious. I wonder how she'd do on a makeover challenge.

I do wonder if we got to see everything from Lucky. Are they an amazing actor for example?

I think we definitely missed out on seeing Lucky in the ball. Unconventional material garments is her strong suit. I think this challenge was made for her.
