Two drag competition fans debate whether contestants should eliminate rivals based on track record or friendship. One argues strategy shifts depending on your position: bottom performers appeal to judges on stats, top performers play friendship. The other says mixed motives are what make the show unpredictable and fun.
Do you think that you should base it on friendship or track record? I feel like if I— I think it would depend on where I was. If I was in the bottom, I would be like, track record. I did so well and I need you to pick me and save me. Or like, I need you to save me and pick the other girl. If I was in the top and I was going off of it, I think honestly, here's what I think, that you are the judge in that situation. You get the power to be the judge. I think you can base it off of who did better in the challenge to you. If one person's performance spoke better to you, or one person's runway spoke better to you, You have the opportunity to be the judge. So if I were in the top, that's where my mind would go. I'm like, honestly, you kind of flopped this week, or you did really well this week, I want to save you.
But you know what, this is why the show works, because this adds drama. Yes. And if it were predictable, say you base it on track record, it will be very obvious and people will not be— there won't be any drama because it will be very predictable.
Yes, because last week if it was based off of track record, you know, Ivory would have had to have gone. So if Katie was just going off a track record, she would have also picked Ivory to go. Yeah, but I think she was also trying to be maybe strategic because she knows that Arizona had just won. So if you see a queen on her downfall, you can just get rid of her right then and there, and your path to the crown and to the end becomes ever more clear.
Yeah, well, I think I remember one of them saying, um, it's a hoax that they're saying, oh, they're my friend, she's my friend, but they've only been together for a few days.
No, Bernie said that.
