Once I find a list I will put the queens information in the first post.

 

 

Early favorites from the video:

Hershey Liquor-Jete

Nymphia

Megami

Plane Jane

 

 

Then there is Tsunami Muse who is Kandy Muse's daughter, so she can go first by association!

 

 

I also both love and hate the name Amanda Tori Meating.

Just did a quick glance at the cast, Plane Jane's the one that stood out the most to me so far.

Will do a ranking at some point after I watch the MTQ video. 

[*Wallace]

I don't know any of the queens yet, of course. But hometown loyalties have me rooting for Plane Jane pre-season, so hopefully she delivers!

 

(And yay for her standing out to Chris! That should be a good sign.)

I also really like her already too! The entrance look had me cackling.  Her promo is fierce.

LMAO my bad.  I'll add you in there too, so yes that must be a good sign then.

Gay people exist in cities other than NYC and LA, RuPaul.

I've seen lots of commercials for this over the last few weeks. This finally starts tonight. Kinda looking forward to it.  

 

I think this will be my 4th season of RuPaul's Drag Race to watch in live time (started since 2021). I can't believe it's been so many already.  I still know nothing about any of the queens so it will take me some weeks to get all of their names down. But still early rooting for Plane Jane.

preseason doesn't mean alot.  Plane Jane was one of the ones that stood out most to me in preseason stuff, so should follow my thoughts instead.

Already stanning for Amanda Tori Meating. 

[Zoey]

Pretty solid premiere. I didn’t agree with a lot of the decisions but it was fun.

 

01. Dawn

02. Mirage

03. Morphine

04. Amanda

05. Q

06. Saphirra

07. Xunami

[Solaris]

Not loving the first group of queens.  There's probably 3 that I would like to see do well. Way more excited for the second group!

 

 

1. Q - I thought she won this week.  Didn't have her tiddies out in the lipsync. My  favorite on the runway.

2. Sapphira - I thought her talent show was the best, but her runway was not it.  Also her lipsync was messy.

3. Dawn - solid first week.

4. Amanda - I want to see more before I pass judgement.

5. Mirage - just there.

6. Morphine - not a fan.

7. Xunami - weak start.

Aww I did actually like Plane Jane and am excited to see her next week, I just think I liked the others more  (me liking almost everyone is such a Wally move! )

[*Lily]

All the budget this season went to “BREAK MY SOUL”!

 

Sapphira and Q easily stood out in a group of lip syncing talents. That being said, I liked everyone in this group.

 

Really intrigued and excited by Dawn. Amanda was a lot of fun. Mirage did a great job.

 

Morphine and Xunami faded more into the background for me, however, I’m still excited for them both.

Amanda is from the same planet as Tammie and Laganja so naturally I live for her

Ooh yeah I know and that's true. I only said that because I tend to agree with Lily on almost everything.

Ahhh okay, I can totally understand that.  LMAO I love it at this last part.

Nooooooo, don't ruin her for me.  Though Amanda is really fun in a messy way right now.

I just watched the premiere and it was a fun episode! But ugh at this stage, it's so hard for me to keep track of the names and it's only gonna get worse when all 14 are put together.

Sapphira Cristál stood out as my favorite this episode! Her talent show act was a big standout. I was shook by her voice (and I'm not much an opera fan) but that was just so wow. And I love how she added humor and comedy to it. She also did great and was fun in the mini challenge. Her runway look probably wasn't the best but eh, it was still really fun and funny. She crushed it on her lip sync. So I thought she earned that immunity. Looking forward to seeing more from her and to see if she can become my actual favorite.

I enjoyed most of the other queens. I think I expected a little more overall from Xunami - but I still liked her overall. It was fun seeing her doing a rap song and I liked her energy. I was really into that performance. I feel like runway will be a strongsuit for her as she has that amazing runway catwalk down. Q is talented but didn't majorly stand out to me until her runway look, which had a really impressive reveal. Ooh she had the ballet puppet show right? Yeah that was really funny and a standout, actually. Really enjoyed Mirage's performance and all of the tricks she did. Amanda is a hoot and a fun hot mess.Then there are others I enjoyed (which I see are Dawn & Morphine) but need to see more of to form more opinions on them.

Also what a perfect first lip sync song! "Break My Soul." Always HERE for the show using Beyoncé tracks.

Plane Jane woke up today and chose violence
