“If the show wins, its really a testament to the queens.”
The cast captured lightning (laced with sequins) in a bottle… Its this huge, uplifting message that touches everybody," Campbell says.
“We dont wallow in our victimhood.

Theres a lot to be victimized by in todays world…. As much as we talk about those heavy things, we dont get stuck there.
And thats not being superficial; its life as a celebration.
Lets have fun while were living through this not so easy world.
VH1
Lets bring some color, fun, and magic.”
Adds RuPaul: “Under the glitz and glitter, our drag queens are sweet and sensitive souls.
They bravely discuss the obstacles they have encountered as they attempt to navigate their way through a patriarchal society.
VH1
“He handpicked every single one of those queens.
“I think thats why he casts people who have a story to tell.
“RuPauls not just a host who was hired,” Campbell continues.
VH1
“RuPauls Drag Raceis a Tupperware container, and the drag queens bring all of the food.
“I think the fandom needs to be responsible for that as well.
Not to take anything away from what she was saying, but it got really ugly this year.
VH1
We have to be responsible for ourselves, and theres something lacking.
I think its important, and the fandom definitely needs to hear what shes saying.”
So, there were 33 runway looks….
VH1
When 11 queens came around the runway 33 times…. its something new, something mind blowing.
It really is a sporting event!”
“I also lovedCher: The Unauthorized Rusical.
VH1
Cher is one of Rus incredible passions.
And thats what makes the show really special.”
Campbell agrees, but sees a glistening lining to the show’s critical, serious message of progression.
VH1
“Its about joy, laughter, and color.
Theres heavy stuff to talk about, but its all in the context of celebrating life.
Its what the shows about.
VH1
Its like, okay,of courseit won.
Either that orTheAmazing Racewins all the time,” Visage explains.
Us winning this year would really be a loud statement to the world.”
It very slowly grew every year with higher ratings…. And were still getting higher ratings for season 10.
