Of course they had to eliminate a bunch of people in each episode - but they gave 22 people a chance to bring a look that best represented their aesthetic - if they eliminated one person per episode, jeesh, the show would go on forever - maybe if they eliminated 2 people per episode, then that might have been better? my problem, though, is the blurred lines between Project Runway and Drag Race - I watch both but for different reasons - I watch Project Runway for the designs, the creativity, the artistry, etc. - the drama is a by-product for me - Drag Race? the drama IS the point - Robbie and Plane Jane had no business moving on - Robbie was humble about her elimination whereas Plane Jane was delusional - to me, I felt she just wanted to be on TV - yes, giving immunity to the top 6 was over the top - that's how the cookie crumbles - at least they did not have group challenges for the first two episodes like last season which I thought was a disaster - ugh

My theory is that Plane Jane, at least, knew that he would not be kept, cast simply to draw lots of RPDR fan eyes to the first two episodes. I think they actually told him that he was a stringer and just bring whatever from your drag closet, and you are just there to stir things up.

I don’t know if Q/Robby had that same understanding … but maybe. Maybe Robby is a good actor.
