I’m just happy to see so many people defending Raja after getting dunked on for so many years because she felt like she had nothing to prove by not getting into elaborate looks for FPR. Like you really think she’d go to that much effort just to be seen from the waist up in WOW’s basement? She really shut everyone up.

Also Violet’s takes don’t bother me that much because FPR’s tastes have always been questionable no matter who is hosting, that includes Raja dd

I think Shea just isn't compelling as a contestant this time around; she literally just won AS5 so I just don't find that she has a narrative that really justifies ascending to the crown. Yvie comes from a rather boring season, Monét/Trinity have the element of breaking their tie, Raja/Jinkx are from a different era, and Jaida deserves her flowers from the sting of her win coming during a pandemic. There's also Viv but hahahahaha. I think S2 of an all-winners season would have felt more reasonable for her...I'm not seeing a huge expanse of change from her last competition.

Not to mention that she probably had the most satisfying arc already wrapped up prior to this (writing the wrong of her very contentious S9 loss). I still enjoy the heck out of her and she's still very much excellence, and while it might be a little unfair to compare her to Raja or Jinxk who come from a completely different era it hurts me that I'm just not as grabbed (yet?).
 
I just feel like Shea did what she needed to do on AS5 and that was a wrap for at least a little while. So far I don't find her particularly compelling despite her incredible runway in episode one. I thought her Snatch game was quite lousy.

This season I'm all about Jaida, Jinx, and Raja. Lots of Js.
