Yvie Oddly Sounds Off on Crystal Methyd’s Make-Over Challenge #rupaulsdragrace

Do you agree with Yvie about the make-over challenges?

Agree. What Crystal did that day will never be forgot. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I think the makeover challenge is the challenge with the most riggory by producers. The judges comments on this episode, especially Michelle's comments, don't ever seem tied to reality and instead seem tailor-made to fit the narrative for who the producers want to eliminate, or give a boost to, that episode. Its usually one of the last, if not the last, episodes before the finale too so that's probably why.

“As weirdos often do, you got shafted” WORD

I actually think that jaida did the best that episode. The mug, the customes, the presentation, everything felt correct

Yvie I see you too! I can be you guy’s Big Bird! I ginormous and bright!

Could not disagree more. Crystal's makeover challenge looks were fabulous but seemed more like an Ernie and Bert style fashion look over actual drag family resemblance. Jaida also had more of a challenge in that her partner didn't look anything like her and was more shy and couldn't walk in heels. Jaida gave her partner a visual and internal transformation. Crystal did amazing but Jaida was the absolute correct winner of the challenge (and the season).

I just think Yvie is so brilliant and thoughtful

I heard someone say that they think that they just use the subjectivity of the challenge to pick the top 4 that the show runners want. Completely baseless speculation but it makes some of the judging decisions from past years make sense lol

Ru is really biased on a lot of challenges

There also add so many rules to it. Like they say, family resemblance, yet you can't look too similar. You have to put them in your signature drag, but you also can't do anything conceptual. Like let the queens do what they do and be fair.

Same bodysuits 🤣 *Plane Jane I 💀💀💀

Agreed! I can’t stand the make over challenge. They always pick the most obvious, uninspired, basic looking make overs. That Bert and Ernie one was so good on multiple levels! Also, what does family resemblance even mean? My family all dress different and two of my siblings are twins! So my family would all look different and unique, not the same. It should just be a make over challenge, not a family resemblance thing.

My fav was in AS2 when they did family members

10000%

crystal was done dirty on S12, the entire season was really a neck and neck race, jaida and redacted were consistently good, crystal started off rocky and rose to the same level as the other queens, whereas gigi came out of the gate strong but faltered as the season went on, and i really think in a world where crystal was given the win for the makeover, she could have taken it all...

Crystal definitely should've won, I was so mad when this episode aired 😭

The only times Makeovers are that good to me are either when we get incredible transformations (like Miz Cracker) or really unique fashion choices (like Crystal). They’ve also been dampening it a lot by having women on more and more. I know women can do drag and support it, but the fun of the makeover episode is in big transformations to me

There’s only one makeover challenge I really enjoyed it was Canada‘s drag race season two when they had to put queer teens in drag

It is weak, I agree. Shall we talk about lip synching with no real dancing?🤔 There is a bias..

I agree with Yvie!!!

100% agree with all of this. It’s an opportunity to be such an uplifting challenge and then they use it to tear at least one queen down and it’s always so inconsistent. Utter BS. Crystal was the far and away winner of that makeover, but it didn’t suit the edit the production wanted. Absolutely garbage.

Same situation with Q and plane. Q had an amazing creative look. Plane had 2 matching body suits. And plane won. Like what the actual hell

It is Rupaul’s drag Race, not just Drag Race. You can’t expect fairness or justice

No. Just because something is incredible and outside the box doesn’t make it winning worthy. It’s still a challenge and the point is to follow the challenge.

Brook winning their makeover challenge was foolish it was yvie or vanjies to win

It’s very very very good, but you can tell she brought it from home, completely figured out, so no matter the personality, preferences or even body type of the person, she would do the same. Brilliant.

The makeover challenge was also the episode MORPHINE LOVE DION went home on… and plane +gothy won….

Unless you are Lucy, in which case, "oh you both wore the same outfit, true to your brand, and look like twins. Lip sync for your life."

I have all day for Crystal Elizabeth Methyd appreciation.

She should’ve won that challenge… period !

Yea I’m still not ok either with Crystal being robbed of that win.

LOL at how bitter and jealous Yvie has become since she lost AS7! 😅😂

It's true though. I loved the look so much! Like to be able to not only make them look as cartoony, but literally look like cartoon characters of the same cartoon without outright doing the same thing and that above anything stood out

Yvie is right 💯

So true.

Dude!!! I totally agree with this. I thought that was 💯 such an incredible makeover…

Actually agree.

She said it. And it happened again lmaoo

Q loosing to PJ, Plastique and Jorgeous loosing to Roxxy and Vanessa, we could keep on going but yes just a few recent examples of why makeover challenges are becoming so hated in the fandom.

This is a pet peeve of mine too. The judging always infuriates me.

Rest of the show:
- importance of chosen family
- drag ‘families’
- creativity and elevation

Makeover Challenge:
- “Why aren’t they your biological clone?”
- “I know you had to pack without knowing anything about the person we are going to pair you with, but what we really want is twins - regardless of what the volunteer feels comfortable in.”

No cursing fiddlesticks

Two minutes and 50 seconds in about collective consciousness I love it

Oh, I needed this from you kids

I think about this makeover all the time. still.

Well, not give the win to plastique and Jorgeous proves Yvie's point.

Agree so hard
The people who won are mostly the most boring makeovers. ❤❤❤

the mediocrity that was plane jane and lazy susan

i disagree jaida did the impossible with the girl she had

I remember Crystal and Opal coming to scene and I just stood up and clapped because that was so fucking genius and funny, I was obsessed. The make up style was there, but with an actual narrative to the runway. Opal was having and actual blast and I can’t understand how they didn’t win that challenge.
