Beware: Product Causes Second Hand Embarrassment
11 November 2021
I began watching this but my smart TV kept malfunctioning. I turned it off and on and off and on. Finally, a loud voice boomed from the television speakers: I'M MORTIFIED TO BE PLAYING THIS TRASH. Smart, indeed!

Drag Race jumped the shark after season 7 but I guess enough teenage girls spend money and attention on it to keep milking the franchise with garbage like this. The worst parts of every Drag Race season are always the acting challenges. Why? They're too challenging! The Drag Race staff can't write anything entertaining, 99.9% of the queens cannot act whatsoever, and RuPaul and friends definitely cannot direct. It's always absolute cringe.

Hands down the worst part of this was watching Kylie Sonique. I liked Sonique on Season 2 but an actress? No! Stop. Super low energy. No charisma. Soft voice. Great dancer. Great entertainer. But acting? Drag Race of course is tripping over itself to make up for angering certain activists by propping Sonique up, but that's just disservice. He emperor has no clothes but watch as the entire Drag Race world pretend Kylie is fashion, funny, an actress, the second coming. No, Kylie is a fun drag act.
