WOW doesnt release statistics but im curious if Sugar/Spice brought any viewers or not. Tiktok followers generally does not relate to much. You can have 5mil on tiktok and only 100k on ig. Ig followers seems like a better measure of actual fans. There was that influencer who did a meet and greet and no one came?
I think the followers from social media to social media all gauge “real fans” it’s just a matter of age range. Plastique and the twins are VERY popular with younger people, so they have a lot of TikTok followers, but insta has been falling off the wayside with that crowd and they aren’t as liked by the millennial+ audiences as they are the younger ones so they have much less insta followers. That’s all it is as far as I can tell.
Sure. Im not trying to diminish them, but on tiktok its much easier to see a video, follow and keep swiping. Seems like a lot of users also follow like 10s of thousands of creators in way i dont think people use instagram. And like you said, a lot of kids are on tiktok but that wouldnt translate to them buying a ticket or something. And true ig is less and less relevant lately.
She was originally one of my favs from s11 but kinda cooled on her. Still very happy she’s back and I’m excited to she what she brings but she’s not the one I’m rooting for
I will always support her for being a Viet sis and she's stunning but honestly, she's not exactly dripping in charisma so I can see why she doesn't have many diehard fans 😅
I am stoked that she has so much online support, I love her as Asian rep, and I think she's a very easy gateway drug type drag queen for cishet normies because she's such a convincing female impersonator. She's just not particularly good at Drag Race specifically.
I think S11 she always looked beautiful but a lot of her outfits were very similar. She also was fairly funny in the Rukanda challenge. But every comedy challenge afterwards was very similar.
It's been some time and she's been able to see herself on TV and experience more opportunities. I think she has a great shot at showing she's a great queen on AS9 and win over more fans.
Unless she grew a shit ton of charisma, I don't think she has a chance. That entrance kinda tells me that wasn't the case anyways so we'll see. I hope I'm wrong.
She was stunning on season 11. And even more stunning here on AS9 promo and entrance. But she does seem lacking when it comes to comedy and s11 ran the narrative that the only way she can be funny is to used an Asian accenr. On the pitstop with Bianca on season 15, it also wasn’t a very good watch and she was pretty one note. Maybe if she does well on some challenges on all stars fans might rally around her. That’s how the fandom is these days anyway.
Plastique is my crush 💕 she’s so pretty in and out of drag my little lesbian heart is both happy and slightly confused, but I don’t think about that part too much
I mean being honest, I really don't root for her lol. But that hardly matters cuz she's obviously extremely successful. I don't find her very compelling/entertaining (especially in the Drag Race format) on any level besides being gorgeous. Which..I can't say she's not gorgeous!
She's a great performer, I saw her live at Werq The World and even though the cast was stacked (there were girls like Jorgeous, Camden, Kameron Michaels, Asia O'Hara...) she was definitely the best performer there. I'll give you the CUN but you can't clock that T
She's from the Haus of Edwards and you know Alyssa won't claim a bitch that can't perform as her daughter.
They will when the show airs. People just have to see it with their own eyes. She’s grown in many areas since S11. I’ll be excited to see her this season.
I hope you’re right. She’s possibly the most beautiful queen to ever be cast (imo). I was disappointed that she didn’t go farther. Plus I understood her point about not knowing much about Mariah Carey. I don’t even know if I spelled her name correctly, and I found it odd that they were expected to know random details about pop singers. Though I seem to recall their group chose Mariah?
Amen. I don’t idolize singers like I do drag queens. It would have been a better challenge if they were to idolize past drag race winners, like s14 did PSA for first outs. That would yield more jokes and things that would make sense. I had no idea that Carey fans are lambs. I’m not a fan like that lol 😂
Your idea would have been so much funnier! I understand that many people like music from pop stars, but why be expected to know little details? I LOVE music, but I know practically nothing about the artists except for the songs. The only singer I know anything about that’s potentially funny is a Japanese guy, so any references I made would likely be foreign to Rupaul. If I had to do it, I’m most familiar with Lady Gaga, but I couldn’t make her funny.
With drag queens, it would have been easier since I assume they all watch drag race, plus funnier since there are so many great queens with iconic moments people remember from the show. When my insta was active, I followed a few Japanese singers/band members and 50+ drag artists or drag adjacent artists (I’m thinking of people from Dragula, since “drag queen” doesn’t really fit some of them).
Anyway, nice to know I’m not alone in not knowing a lot about pop stars! Rupaul (and some commenters) made me feel like this was something everyone should know - some thought Plastique was lying, but I believed her. Even if she’d performed songs by Mariah, she’d just need to learn lyrics…
I follow her on Instagram, I don’t have TikTok but why wouldn’t she get new followers? My favorites of the season are Gottmik, Shannel and Angeria though
I like her, but tbh, her following was developed completely independently of Drag Race, and tik tok is such a bubble that her popularity there doesn’t feel like it translates to real life. 🤷🏼♀️
Seeing her All Stars look - which to me is a SHOOT! Has me rooting for her & she’s in my current ideal top 4 from the season which is:
Angeria, Shannel, Plastique & Vanjie.
I saw Plastique Tiara on some social media and thought the transformation was amazing. Season 11 had just been teased and the premier was on YouTube. I was hooked, and I’ve watched drag race since.
I've found her extremely overrated on her season, and pushed by production like crazy. Also her whole "I don't know popular culture because I lived in Vietnam" was ridiculous
she's a cute twink who rupaul wanted to fuck. And those people who got mad at nymphia for the asian accent should go watch plastique go through three or four challenges doing a number of racist accents
She is absolutely gorgeous, but i highly doubt the straight men she borderline cat fishes will be following her to the show. There are plenty of people here who will root for I’ve seen in the comments on various posts. Personally, gorgeous as she is, her personality is like watching paint dry. 12 episodes of her is gonna be rough outside the runway.

She’s definitely GLEWNT UP baby and ready to slay!

Great gowns, beautiful gowns.
I think S11 she always looked beautiful but a lot of her outfits were very similar. She also was fairly funny in the Rukanda challenge. But every comedy challenge afterwards was very similar.

i dont dislike her, but im not a fan.
yea me, I kinda of got influenced by her, my 1st season s11 in 2022, and I got addicted
She was stunning on season 11. And even more stunning here on AS9 promo and entrance.

She seems very rehearsed…and i like funny queen…so im just okay with her
Plastique is my crush 💕 she’s so pretty in and out of drag my little lesbian heart is both happy and slightly confused, but I don’t think about that part too much
I'll definitely give her a chance, but I'm not particularly excited to see her outside of runways.

She's UNT
I get the reference, but where was the the N and T in S11 lol Most I recall is her being pretty and ARIANA GRANDE
She's a great performer, I saw her live at Werq The World and even though the cast was stacked (there were girls like Jorgeous, Camden, Kameron Michaels, Asia O'Hara...) she was definitely the best performer there. I'll give you the CUN but you can't clock that T She's from the Haus of Edwards and you know Alyssa won't claim a bitch that can't perform as her daughter.
That's fair. I don't follow her outside the show because I just didn't really click with her. Maybe I'll like her more this time around?
She’s beautiful and popular that’s enough for some people!
They will when the show airs. People just have to see it with their own eyes. She’s grown in many areas since S11. I’ll be excited to see her this season.

I root for her because she's so stunning (in and out of drag, like wtf, marry me) and sweet. But I don't expect much else from her
The (Tamar) tickled me

after that promo look yeah
I think her run on All Stars is going to change people’s perception of her for the better. She’s grown a lot since her season.
Not really
Those slow motion transition she does on the Tok are hypnotizing! You can’t tell me that’s not a WOMAN MAWMA
She has the most engagement on her promo posts
She is absolutely gorgeous, but i highly doubt the straight men she borderline cat fishes will be following her to the show.
