Moving on to the next season. This season was not only bad, but it got the franchise cancelled.
At 44 is Drag Race Holland Season 2.
CAST: It was okay. Like there were some obvious standouts to me. But relatively it was not bad. But you could tell who was fillers and who was favored. *cough* Vanessa *cough*. The only plagues on the season for me was Vivaldi and Tabitha. Vivaldi for reasons I will get into in a second, and Tabitha for her severely transphobic and racist comments regarding Vanessa, Masisi and Ivy.
CHALLENGES: Holland for me just does not know how to produce a good challenge. The Talent Show was okay at best. Every other one felt meh to me. I just feel like in each one you knew who was winning, and it didn't leave an element of entertainment for me. That's all I can really say.
THE BIGOTRY: There was multiple instances of ignorance during this season's run. Starting with the Dutch Cow Tabitha. Who made a comment regarding Vanessa's advantage in the competition as she is a proud trans woman. In a time where we're proudly seeing woman like Vanessa come into the scene, comments like Tabitha are just super insensitive and shows she comes from a time where she would frown upon transwomen. The racism Ivy-Elyse dealt with during her short run on the show was very unneeded. I don't remember what all was said, but I believe the judges made a crack about her heritage in a cruel manor. Even in challenges she didn't do as bad as what they made her out to be. She was just never given a fair shot.
PHONE GATE: Vivaldi. This dumb bitch had a phone with her the whole time until she got exposed. Props to Vanessa for singling it out and having it be addressed. The issue however was that she was not disqualified for the matter, and instead made it to the final three with Vanessa and Puny. What the fuck?? This situation in my opinion ruined the series, and it's a shame for the Holland queens that weren't about the ignorance and favortism.
FINAL REVIEW: This season is just a long and painful memory, and I feel like it left a forever plague on how not to do a series. Fred is arguably the worst host of the franchise, and I am glad I don't have to deal with them anymore. Blegh!
Favorite Queen: Keta Minaj. She was everything to me, and the rightful winner of the season.
Least Favorite Queen: Tabitha. Vivaldi was wrong for the phone. Tabitha is a transphobic bitch. Enough said.
Best Lip Sync: It's All Coming Back To Me Now by Celine Dion (Masisi vs Ivy)
Worst Lip Sync: Call Me Mother by RuPaul (Puny vs Countess vs Tabitha)
Hint at 43: The winner has been a guest judge.
