This season’s gimmick—eliminated queens compete for online votes throughout the season—was revealed to be a complicated disaster designed to rig votes. So disappointing. Full recap for beastobsessed by colemanjspilde:
launched in May, viewers were first teased with the latest convoluted twist that the series’ producers concocted. This time around, queens who were eliminated from the show each week are automatically entered into the “Online Fame Games,” where they could win $50,000. In this very made-up-sounding, separate competition, the axed contestants could show off the high-concept looks that they didn’t get to feature on the season’s themed runways before they went home.
on a show that has relied too much on trying to surprise viewers, when it should be bolstering its queens., we heard that the eliminated queens would “automatically” be entered into this separate competition. Every time RuPaul told a dejected contestant standing on stage that she was “now in the running to become Queen of the Fame Games,” it always felt as if we might see the eliminated competitor transmogrify into a bunch of 1s and 0s, and get sucked into a computer.
RuPaul determined the top two All Stars in the challenge, and those two competed in a lip sync for the chance to multiply their number of fan votes in the Fame Games by two, three, or five. Depending on the number of people who actually, that will likely rig the Fame Games, which feels like it defeats the entire purpose of this external competition.
