Yes, they have set Veronica up against another musical one so she is
with envy. Subtle not. Also, tbh, her two walks weren't amazing. The cotton one was not finished well, but I let her off because she had used her Lancashire rose last time. Her fave thing (which I cannot even remember what it was at this point) was basic.
Victoria doesn't have to tuck, really pad or worry about boobs looking real but claims none of this is an advantage - doubt there will be nastiness cos of the backlash against criticism that Gottmik had an advantage (transman who also therefore did not have to tuck).
Thing is - and I am plus size myself - Victoria hasn't learned how to death drop etc best she could do is land on her knees. Not saying you need all the tricks for a winning lip sync and plenty of bigger Queens don't but it might count against her.
I think she will make later stages but won't take the crown, same as Gottmik came 3rd.
She is a woman. She is a lesbian. The assigned female at birth tag differentiates her as an AFAB queen as opposed to say, a drag king (still waiting for a drag king race where the best drag King wins) or a transwoman contestant (Peppermint among others iirc). As I understand it, drag is considered liberating in terms of being freed from labels and constraints.
RuPaul has become more inclusive after others wanting his cancellation when originally he just wanted men dressed as girls, back in the day.
I am just here for the glitter so don't care about the motives of each contestant personally. It's a job, an art form, hard to pull off well, I find it entertaining so can appreciate it can work as escapism for both the viewer and the performer.
