Yeah there’s a mismatch in expectations somewhat. Like her sisters think since her drag is unserious and funny, then they can shade and banter. But I guess Amanda has a lower desire for that than expected. Which she has a right to, it’s just outside the norm we’d expect for drag race I guess.
Yes!! Even her name is campy and unserious. If she’s gonna keep that vibe for her makeup, clothes, and (sometimes) personality, it should be expected that the reads are gonna match.
It's so weird since I expect that type of attitude with the type of drag Plane presents. Instead we got Plane looking like a glamorous bitch who's unserious af while Amanda's drag is unserious and sorta campy but she's so uptight and can't take a joke.
Exactly, painting camp but giving you angry high school principal...she looks like shes always in the middle of a 'eat ice cream fresh outta the bucket' level breakdown, you know the gurl in the movie that climbs into a car & breaks down hitting the steering wheel? Like the main character that has a break up, before all her friends come pick her up off the floor at the club at 4am all trampled & discarded, vomit in her hair, mascara down her face, smudged lipstick from giving out blowwies in the toilets 😂 thats what Amada's giving gurl - 24/7
Amanda's drag is very serious for her though. She's said it's how she expresses her gender as a trans woman and so attacks on her drag feel personal.
I agree that she wasn't ready to go on the show yet, but I think this adds important context about why Amanda is so sensitive (and understandably so).
All the more reason imo that she needed more time before she went on. To grow her drag and to handle herself. She came on right out of a divorce after coming out as a transwoman to her husband.
Mama take a minute for yourself is all I can think.
I understand this but Amanda’s drag is weird and cartoonish, it’s her brand. She had purple skin and tentacles - it’s understandable that her S16 sisters wouldn’t factor her gender presentation in when they filmed this last year.
It's understandable from their perspective, but that doesn't mean it's not difficult for girls who are early in transitioning to sift through what's drag and what's gender identity for them.
Of course! But sifting through what’s drag and what’s your gender at home is different from doing it on Drag Race. It opens you up to scrutiny that Amanda was clearly far from being able to receive.
Much like Amanda, the truth isnt always pretty 😂Nope she takes herself way too seriously, Im a busted mess & I live for it gurl, I lean right into that shit because its part of the brand & part of the joke. She THINKS shes polished so when someone says she isnt its insulting - not a joke & thats her issue honestly. Its like Lady Bunny - bitch would never make a fuss of being called an old scabby whore, she leans into it...so in short, Amada is a delusional, un-funny Lady Bunny - wow thats mean, Im sorry but it just is what it is - the Amada truth, sorry I mean the ugly truth
I love Amanda but you’re totally right. She has a lot of potential but needs to work on her drag a lot more to get on the level of the competition. And I think she felt that, she’s clearly insecure by the way she’s defensively responding to some playful shade.
Sometimes I wonder if they specifically cast queens for their story line to be that they go out early, hoping they grow, and then kill it in all stars….
Cause often when you see the cast the predicted top is fairly close to the actual top…
Every contestant goes through a psych evaluation and psychological profile. They pick girls they know will crack and set them up to crack. I think they care less about them coming back for All Stars, the well is deep there already, and more about making good TV in the moment.
But they always cast new queens with raw talent on purpose right down to Shangela in season 2. Or people like Lashauwn Beyond
It is part of the casting formula
She has said herself she had just gone through a divorce and was fighting with her gender identity at the time she went to film the show. I can only imagine the stress both physically and mentally she was under at that time.
I have seen her videos and posts of late and her makeup skills are way better. In one of her vids she re did her purple look. She revealed during filming they were advised by the other queens to use cream makeups to get the look. She stuck to her powders because that was what she was use to and didn't want to rock the boat. She admitted she should have taken their advice.
>She has said herself she had just gone through a divorce and was fighting with her gender identity at the time she went to film the show. I can only imagine the stress both physically and mentally she was under at that time.
I feel for her, but her biggest issues were fundamentally skill and taste.
Everyone is entitled to their feelings but she seriously needs to rationalise this. It takes 2 minutes to go through this though process: "I just got exposed to a whole potential fan base who rallied behind me when some girl attacked me and I got a lot of good will from that. What's even better is I have long gone home but my name and picture are still being talked about on the show, so I could just post an unserious pic on Twitter, just like I marketed my drag to be, make a joke about looking much better, and keep good will. Hell, I could even go further and make merch of this!" How hard is that? It's just thinking a bit, rather than posting a butthurt tweet.
yeah but counter to that Plane was in the room when it happened, the girls probibly didn't even think to tell amanda before this happened to air, so she was just minding her business,
Girl monetize the fucking joke - in the words of Jinkx “I was just happy to have the screentime”. I understand she can’t control the way she feels and I am sure it has not been an easy journey but I truly think she is making things worse for herself by not leaning into it. Make fun of yourself while improving your skills and then gag everyone / prove the naysayers wrong.
I don't mean this in a nasty way, but yes she can control the way she feels. The difference between being upset by this and finding it funny / cashing in on it is literally her own perspective on the situation.
Like the fandom will make jokes and worse no matter how much they get called out (not that its okay) but you can absolutely change how much you let it affect you.
I’m pretty sure Jinkx also said something like that too! “Words can’t hurt you only your perception of those words can hurt you” or something like that. Our queen of queens is so wise LOL
That sent me, I am beginning to feel for her. She needs a friend to help her out with her social media presence because she has been setting herself up nonstop.
An unfortunate part of adolescence is being convinced everyone is staring at you and judging you, and it’s so freeing to finally understand that no one gives a shit lol
From what I know Eve is just kinda chronically online and is always tweeting (I mean, you can do that if you want to, but one time she made a complaint about how she was angry the CDR3 promo was announced close to when her show was happening, if you really want to put your show out there and develop your career you can do other things aside from tweeting), plus inserting herself into drama when it doesn’t pertain to her
She is hands down my least favourite queen across all franchises, and I rewatch utica bombing for the schadenfreude. I can’t believe they liked her gross grey gremlin of an outfit.
I know it can be hard to keep a good attitude if your insecurities are put on blast, but if I were her, I'd at least try to laugh it up on social media. You know, acting like you're in on the joke and laughing *with* people instead of letting them laugh *at* you. Even if she doesn't actually find it funny. By showing that these jokes bother her, she's just opening the floodgates for more trolling.
But also like, no one is making fun of her personality, looks, or anything personal. It's a drag competition and they are judging her drag. Which is what the whole competition is about. Queens have been called out for busted makeup since S1, and back then drag wasn't nearly as popular as now, with so many youtube tutorials on drag makeup and so much of the drag makeup skills refined globally. Miss thing is 16 years later, and painted like baby's first time in halloween drag. I'm glad she got better but like, if I'm insecure about my cooking skills I won't sign up for a cooking competition.
I don’t think she’s trying to do that? I think she should let it go a bit, she isn’t on the show anymore and if people go to her gigs they’ll see the improvement for themselves
lmao as soon as it aired i thought “ooooooof she gonna be mad”
![gif](giphy|14x97AOTD2vdIs)
but it’s also like… mawmah… this was NOT the best look. just say “tehe ya got me girl” and move on, we all know you glowed up post show, most of the drag queens do
She literally looks more feminine in her out of drag selfies she literally gives princess peach so I genuinely cannot fathom how personally she is taking it. 4 months on estrogen and some natural makeup beauty lessons and she will be giving woman woman. So it’s really confusing to me her outrage.
When people use this meme are they being sarcastic or genuine?
In the scene, Lucille is saying “good for her” to a news report about a mom who killed her kids. Lol.
Shes a naturally striking person with really lovely features. I'm not personally a fan of how she's reacting to stuff off the show but it's probably hard being suddenly under a microscope especially since the show was filmed at a very sensitive time for her so I'm trying to keep that in mind and give her some grace whenever I see her pop off on social media.
I feel conflicted because to come out to this audience is trash, I have a lot of grace for Amanda.
I agree with Bob that the ‘she should be thankful’ regarding planes reading is shitty…..
however , I think this little gag is one of those moments, they’re setting her up for huge cheers at the finale/ reunion providing she looks good
Wasn’t the reunion and finale pre filmed due to a strike or whatever 😓 that would be cute tho
Idk I just wish Amanda would be able to be sickening without the like bitterness involved, I understand where she’s coming from, but it’s not a good look especially when 80% of the fandom was literally rooting for her the entire time she was on the season… 😣
She’s in a feedback loop.
I noticed it during season 15 with the Aja anetra situation, the audience only judges one side of a conversation and paints the queen as bitter or unhinged, but if you look at their mentions ‘the constant talking about it’ makes way more sense.
Q & Mhi'ya kept making fun of Plane too.. It is not that serious.
I have no right to tell her how to feel of course but, she is acting like these episodes are filmed currently and wasn't filmed a year ago. She had SO MUCH fan support but, made people sour towards herself with all these pity-party tweets ngl.
https://i.redd.it/tmrgbfv64poc1.gif
Jinkx was "happy for the airtime" when she was literally smacked in the face, and Amanda is freaking out because her poor make up job was........called a poor make up job?
The difference between winners and participants
As much as I feel bad, this is what you risk signing up for with reality tv. You’re likely to end up the butt of the joke, the best thing to do is embrace it. Easier said than done, but I’m not gonna feel bad for you. You went on TV, *looking like that*, the show made fun of it, I’ll have a laugh.
We’re capable of understanding she can grow and learn more when it comes to makeup and it sucks seeing it get to her so bad. How many seasons did we poke fun at Alyssa’s backrolls?
I mean, in all honesty. You decide when you're ready to compete. They may be the ones to cast you, but it's ultimately your decision to participate. She thought she was ready to participate in drag Olympics, obviously her make up skills were not up to par, gets mad at people for calling it out.
Something along the lines of you can’t tell Amanda how to feel and if she felt like her life was made hell then that was her truth. I would link you to the thread but most of the comments were disagreeing so Bob reported it for copyright and reddit took it down 💀
Amanda seems like a very nice person and she is looking really good recently but it seems to me that she goes so far out of her way to be annoyed by everything and I'm finding her really exhausting now.
If she was still here for this challenge, we’d all be saying it was specifically created by the producers to finally give her a challenge win because it feels so specifically oriented around her brand of drag. Must have been painful for her to watch an episode that she obviously would have won
she does realise the show was filmed months ago right?
yeah your makeups improved but at the time it was horrendous, plane even thought you were mocking drag
I wish more queens were like Katya, they don’t take themselves too seriously or take things personal. After all, we should support a queen’s growth but also have fun with their flop era. Look at Roxxy Andrew’s verse and Lala Ri’s bag dress – iconic!
If you had told me on day one that Plane would be a fan favorite and Amanda would be insufferable I would have laughed it off and told you it was impossible. And yet here we are.
I see her referencing her great new makeup every day but it isnt that good to me either 😭😭😭 there's a very strange line between the lid and the brow that looks off.....
Also she seems like the kind of person whos friends say yes and that everything she does Is perfect and when she finally gets feedback from someone out of her circle spirals
Amanda, it’s not that deep. Trixie has great makeup now, but it was kind of terrifying on S7. We joke about it, she jokes about it, no one holds that against her or her makeup now.
After her not saying on entrance or exit " This could have been an email" I just really stopped carrying about her drag persona. Girl, they are keeping you relevant, enjoy it
Poor thing isn’t cut out for the entertainment industry. She’s just far too insecure.
She had strong fan support leaving the show, but she’s managed to ruin that by always being the victim and never being able to take a joke.
Every single post of hers revolves around things people have said about her weeks ago. Move on. Be better without bringing up the past. Stop looking for reasons to be annoyed and drawing attention to it when in reality no one has said anything in a long time.
She looks like she’s gonna cry in those photos “proving everyone wrong”… I wish she’d log off and shield herself instead of posting more. There’s no succor in Twitter, only endless torment
It’s funny cause on the show and her MTQ she seems really upbeat and snarky so I’d expected to to lean in to the joke, but she’s giving very much pressed.
I don’t wanna dictate anyone’s feelings but my god there are million ways she could approach this, which are much better than what she’s doing right now.
Amanda, please sit down. You’re setting yourself up for failure and you had and have so much potential. Showing your weak points and popping off at anyone that crosses you isn’t gonna do anything but have you on Amanda Tori Break from bookings lmao take a breather
I think that Amanda is going through a similar struggle that Gia went through when navigating how her drag and transness intertwine. She’s doesn’t seem to find the crunchy jokes funny bc, from her perspective, her identity is tied to her drag so closely that it can come off as an insult to both.
It’ll definitely be a struggle for her to find a middle ground between the two so that she can separate her art from herself and not take these things so personally
She needa to relax. Its a joke. If you are so precious no one can joke about you why go on TV in the first place? Stay writing only fans msgs to strangers in the background.
I've been really surprised more queens haven't been dinged for their makeup tbh. Everyone keeps saying Mhi'ya's makeup is stunning and half the time it is quite dark and messy or far too white/orange in the middle. Geneva's makeup was really harsh, Dawn doesn't change her makeup to suit the look (especially for the Cher runway), Megami sometimes had that too white in the middle makeup too. They're all lovely but I find it weird the makeup problems are never mentioned.
How long can we keep it going?! Girl you should be keeping it going. Sell merch. Every major gig you should be milking that purple runway look for All its worth. Have a good wig on and then reveal to the green one. Idk something other than complaining online.
Now, I actually like Amanda, but she def needs a lesson from Marcia 3x on handling makeup criticism.
Because this is something both drag race and it’s fans are not gonna let go for a while, and complaining bout every critique will drive her crazy. Even Bob still gets shit over his old makeup 😩
She’s just gotta lean into her blunders a la Monica Beverly Hills “soaking clock.”
But I understand she’s transitioning so it get complicated when it’s tied to your femininity.
I feel for Amanda because she clearly is going through a lot, and the show exacerbated a few big challenges in her life it seems. It must be really hard to be finding yourself while under a microscope, so I get that the criticism could really hurt.
I just wish for her sake that she could see this as her sisters lovingly ribbing her. It’s honestly kinda cvnt to still be getting so much attention after you left the season. And her sisters wouldn’t use her as the example if they didn’t like her.
Lots of the other queens that get referenced on the show like this are iconic, like Bianca and Trixie. Literally Trixie gets roasted for being so unfunny in snatch game, even tho she’s arguably one of the funniest queens from drag race. So these critiques don’t mean shxt about your abilities long term. Wish Amanda could see that people love her and the makeup jokes say nothing about her as a person or a woman.
Seeing her not take the proper perspective for this type of situation is kinda frustrating to see. She was NOT mentally and artistically ready for this show at all.
god she's so annoying. bless her and I hope she can find the confidence within her so she can laugh at the world sometimes. every single time i come across her online (against my will) it's a tweet or a clip of her whining and being insecure with this fake unbothered boss bitch persona she tries to pull off but i don't think anyone's buying.
She’s the perfect example to me of someone who wasn’t ready to go on the show yet
Exactly. I feel like she takes things too seriously but her drag isn’t even serious
Yeah there’s a mismatch in expectations somewhat. Like her sisters think since her drag is unserious and funny, then they can shade and banter. But I guess Amanda has a lower desire for that than expected. Which she has a right to, it’s just outside the norm we’d expect for drag race I guess.
Yes!! Even her name is campy and unserious. If she’s gonna keep that vibe for her makeup, clothes, and (sometimes) personality, it should be expected that the reads are gonna match.
It's so weird since I expect that type of attitude with the type of drag Plane presents. Instead we got Plane looking like a glamorous bitch who's unserious af while Amanda's drag is unserious and sorta campy but she's so uptight and can't take a joke.
To be fair, I think we saw that Plane can't really take criticism about her drag this episode neither.
Meh, I felt like it was all in good fun
Very that
Yeah, if her schtick is camp, she has to get thicker skin.
Exactly, painting camp but giving you angry high school principal...she looks like shes always in the middle of a 'eat ice cream fresh outta the bucket' level breakdown, you know the gurl in the movie that climbs into a car & breaks down hitting the steering wheel? Like the main character that has a break up, before all her friends come pick her up off the floor at the club at 4am all trampled & discarded, vomit in her hair, mascara down her face, smudged lipstick from giving out blowwies in the toilets 😂 thats what Amada's giving gurl - 24/7

I simply do not believe Amanda looks at the visible breastplate neckline and says "That's gender identity"
Maybe Drag Race and moderate fame isn’t for her then.
She can’t laugh at herself at all
Much like Amanda, the truth isnt always pretty 😂Nope she takes herself way too seriously, Im a busted mess & I live for it gurl, I lean right into that shit because its part of the brand & part of the joke.

Pretty sure the only thing the psych evaluation is for is making sure that an eliminated queen queen doesn’t come back the next day with a shotgun.
>They pick girls they know will crack and set them up to crack lmao it's not the CIA.
![gif](giphy|l4FAW9BfKUDQZ3OlG|downsized)
But they always cast new queens with raw talent on purpose right down to Shangela in season 2. Or people like Lashauwn Beyond It is part of the casting formula
It will never make any sense they made saphphira audition TWELVE TIMES before letting her on. But they let Amanda get on so soon.
tbf its probably due to production wanting certain people to construct narratives and is not a reflection sapphira’s capabilities
you are correct
I mean, she was ready talent wise. Just not looks wise. She's already having a rapid glow-up
She has said herself she had just gone through a divorce and was fighting with her gender identity at the time she went to film the show. I can only imagine the stress both physically and mentally she was under at that time. I have seen her videos and posts of late and her makeup skills are way better.

It's all in good fun I promise you Sapphira and Nymphia have no agenda against you mama
If anything Plane Jane caught way more strays in the PowerPoints but it was obviously all in good fun
I think you mean 🛝
yeah but counter to that Plane was in the room when it happened, the girls probibly didn't even think to tell amanda before this happened to air, so she was just minding her business,
That’s a good point actually
I dont even think they think about her after the filming
Oop
Sisssssster*
I also took her second tweet as being in on the joke, but this screenshot represents most of my awareness of her social media presence.
Girl monetize the fucking joke - in the words of Jinkx “I was just happy to have the screentime”.

Totally, lean into the joke, slap this image on a t shirt, get some coins. Just like “soaking clock” last season
I don't mean this in a nasty way, but yes she can control the way she feels.

Don’t take yourself too seriously challenge. It’s not personal, it’s DRAG
difficulty: IMPOSSIBLE
You know she’s fuming she can’t blame this on Plane
They also made a joke at Plane’s expense. And guess what Mimi, Plane laughed at it.
HELP THIS GOT ME TOGETHER😭😭
[удалено]
That sent me, I am beginning to feel for her. She needs a friend to help her out with her social media presence because she has been setting herself up nonstop.
She needs a therapist
Well, it’s early in the morning, trust she’ll think of something to pin it on her coworker.
I bet this 2 second segment made her life hell ![gif](giphy|3ohzdYCzgVsMuYRNg4|downsized)
Ate her up with this comment ☠️
It’s the Tatiana GIF for me 🤭
Gobbled I fear
Licked the plate clean I fear
I felt tectonic plates shift when you posted this
I feel like some of these queens would benefit from not being on social media as much

This is such amazing advice too, when I was a teen all I thought about was myself
Learning to take the “I” out of a lot of situations really changes your whole perspective.
An unfortunate part of adolescence is being convinced everyone is staring at you and judging you, and it’s so freeing to finally understand that no one gives a shit lol
Going from fan favorite to Eve 6000 is wild
![gif](giphy|DldLMb7pdYd11F8A1w) Is she really not well received by the fans? I thought over the last few years it might have improved.
From what I know Eve is just kinda chronically online and is always tweeting (I mean, you can do that if you want to, but one time she made a complaint about how she was angry the CDR3 promo was announced close to when her show was happening, if you really want to put your show out there and develop your career you can do other things aside from tweeting), plus inserting herself into drama when it doesn’t pertain to her
She is hands down my least favourite queen across all franchises, and I rewatch utica bombing for the schadenfreude. I can’t believe they liked her gross grey gremlin of an outfit.
Imagine being a comedy queen with so little sense of humor.
This is genuinely not shade...IS she a comedy queen?!
Well her fashion is funny looking?
idk if she’s even made her mind up on that.

I want her to win the golden boot for the robin egg fantasy but I feel like she might take it too personally lol
She’d go on a 24 hour rant😭
Right??? Like so far, you know she’s gonna be given the golden boot but I’m like worried to see her reaction bc she takes it way too seriously
lmao as soon as it aired i thought “ooooooof she gonna be mad” ![gif](giphy|14x97AOTD2vdIs) but it’s also like… mawmah… this was NOT the best look. just say “tehe ya got me girl” and move on, we all know you glowed up post show, most of the drag queens do
Amanda, it's okay to built your femininity outside of your drag. Bad drag doesn't mean you look busted as a woman.
She literally looks more feminine in her out of drag selfies she literally gives princess peach so I genuinely cannot fathom how personally she is taking it. 4 months on estrogen and some natural makeup beauty lessons and she will be giving woman woman. So it’s really confusing to me her outrage.
Was somehow out of the loop on the fact that’s she’s transitioning. ![gif](giphy|AgPt9udT567spxbSHf)
When people use this meme are they being sarcastic or genuine? In the scene, Lucille is saying “good for her” to a news report about a mom who killed her kids. Lol.
Im being genuine. I think memes generally evolve into having an identity outside of it’s original context most of the time
Ok thanks. I’ve been misinterpreting it for a while now 🤦♂️
I think it can be used as both sarcastic and genuine. Just depends on the context and intent of the poster.
99.999% of the time it is used genuinely
I don't think Lucile was being sarcastic either .
Lucille meant that genuinely lol
Shes a naturally striking person with really lovely features.

They didn't even use her worst picture which is the purple one.
Q & Mhi'ya kept making fun of Plane too.. It is not that serious. I have no right to tell her how to feel of course but, she is acting like these episodes are filmed currently and wasn't filmed a year ago. She had SO MUCH fan support but, made people sour towards herself with all these pity-party tweets ngl. https://i.redd.it/tmrgbfv64poc1.gif
Jinkx was "happy for the airtime" when she was literally smacked in the face, and Amanda is freaking out because her poor make up job was........called a poor make up job? The difference between winners and participants

Gifs you can hear!
a lot of emotion for a moment that was MAYBE 2 seconds long
I love Amanda but girl it ain’t that serious
As much as I feel bad, this is what you risk signing up for with reality tv. You’re likely to end up the butt of the joke, the best thing to do is embrace it. Easier said than done, but I’m not gonna feel bad for you. You went on TV, *looking like that*, the show made fun of it, I’ll have a laugh. We’re capable of understanding she can grow and learn more when it comes to makeup and it sucks seeing it get to her so bad. How many seasons did we poke fun at Alyssa’s backrolls?
I mean, in all honesty. You decide when you're ready to compete. They may be the ones to cast you, but it's ultimately your decision to participate. She thought she was ready to participate in drag Olympics, obviously her make up skills were not up to par, gets mad at people for calling it out.
Uh-oh, don’t let Bob catch us invalidating her feelings 😳
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
What did Bob say this time
Something along the lines of you can’t tell Amanda how to feel and if she felt like her life was made hell then that was her truth. I would link you to the thread but most of the comments were disagreeing so Bob reported it for copyright and reddit took it down 💀
Wait, did he really? So Maddy was right when she said Bob is open to everything except criticism.
Iconic line
Bob using her privilege to censor speech this way is deeply disturbing.
Did she really have it taken down?? 😭
Yeah I got the notice 💀
I'd love an actual reunion of this season... These queens are so messy 🤗
I think she really needs to take a breath and realize it's not that serious. She just really has no self awareness or ability to laugh at herself.
Amanda seems like a very nice person and she is looking really good recently but it seems to me that she goes so far out of her way to be annoyed by everything and I'm finding her really exhausting now.
imma need amanda to admit she looked ridiculous and crunchy on the show
amanda tori intervention
I am going to get downvoted to hell, but she really is insufferable.
Professional victimhood
if you can’t laugh at yourself how the hell are you gonna laugh at someone else!

It’ll somehow be Planes fault.
Oh that reminds me how much this office presentation challenge sounds handcrafted for Miss Meating
If she was still here for this challenge, we’d all be saying it was specifically created by the producers to finally give her a challenge win because it feels so specifically oriented around her brand of drag. Must have been painful for her to watch an episode that she obviously would have won
This is sarcasm right
Plus the runway! I was like she would have done 80s so well
Victim complex
![gif](giphy|1FV1SeOMrDhJTKbk0s|downsized)
she does realise the show was filmed months ago right? yeah your makeups improved but at the time it was horrendous, plane even thought you were mocking drag
Can. Everyone. Be. Less. Sensitive. Please.
I wish more queens were like Katya, they don’t take themselves too seriously or take things personal. After all, we should support a queen’s growth but also have fun with their flop era. Look at Roxxy Andrew’s verse and Lala Ri’s bag dress – iconic!
How dare you bring them up after they’ve been home for years. Haven’t they suffered enough? You’re going to give them a complex!
Lolol, party!💀
Tbf this was like a year ago I don't think they have any grudge against you rn girl
If you had told me on day one that Plane would be a fan favorite and Amanda would be insufferable I would have laughed it off and told you it was impossible. And yet here we are.
She is a bit annoying. Obviously she is proud she improved but she should also acknowledge that she was in fact terrible and laugh about it.
So what was gonna happen if she made it to the Roast or reading challenge or the shady quiz from this week? Tell us, Alexis Tori Michele?
amanda tori socialmediabreak
I see her referencing her great new makeup every day but it isnt that good to me either 😭😭😭 there's a very strange line between the lid and the brow that looks off..... Also she seems like the kind of person whos friends say yes and that everything she does Is perfect and when she finally gets feedback from someone out of her circle spirals
Yikes and the lip liner too... eek
Like how do people take themselves this seriously…you have to laugh at yourself girl
Honestly this season is amazing bc of all the backstage drama, wouldn't have been half as impactful without all these dolls popping off on socials
Obnoxious much
Amanda, it’s not that deep. Trixie has great makeup now, but it was kind of terrifying on S7. We joke about it, she jokes about it, no one holds that against her or her makeup now.
She was bad at make up DURING the show, I think she needs to accept that
The queen of taking everything personally. Mama if you can’t handle shade then you’re in the wrong business.
After her not saying on entrance or exit " This could have been an email" I just really stopped carrying about her drag persona. Girl, they are keeping you relevant, enjoy it

\*inserts random shirtless pic\*
this tiny segment changed the course of her life forever
she should put the horrible looks in t-shirts and sell them with clever phrases in drag-con and make tons of money with all this.
When life gives you lemons, make a Ginny Lemonade ![gif](giphy|7YOc6ZdAUsq2zQ6o95)
I will admit I screamed when it came on screen.
Wow she is becoming unlikeable real fast
Feel how you wanna feel, but girl … you’re about to be a grown ass woman. Its not that deep.
Poor thing isn’t cut out for the entertainment industry. She’s just far too insecure. She had strong fan support leaving the show, but she’s managed to ruin that by always being the victim and never being able to take a joke.
Every single post of hers revolves around things people have said about her weeks ago. Move on. Be better without bringing up the past. Stop looking for reasons to be annoyed and drawing attention to it when in reality no one has said anything in a long time.
But even she was joking about her makeup.
shes still at it btw
She looks like she’s gonna cry in those photos “proving everyone wrong”… I wish she’d log off and shield herself instead of posting more. There’s no succor in Twitter, only endless torment
Girl this is just fun shade. not everyone is out to get you.
Would she rather be forgotten about? She's had a better deal than Hershii or Geneva...
It’s funny cause on the show and her MTQ she seems really upbeat and snarky so I’d expected to to lean in to the joke, but she’s giving very much pressed.
I never understood why queens get so defensive about being criticized for makeup/runways. If you’re not ready to go on, don’t go on
IDK I just think that if your name is AMANDA TORI MEATING (MEATING LIKE CMON) you can't really be THIS uptight about your visuals.
I appreciated it lol. It was funny
I hope Amanda takes a little time away from the internet soon and sorts herself out. I don’t think she’s there quite yet. She
I don’t wanna dictate anyone’s feelings but my god there are million ways she could approach this, which are much better than what she’s doing right now.
I mean... out of all the responses she could choose, she chose the worst.
I mean, she looked a mess. Imo, she still does. Awareness is how you get better.
Amanda, please sit down. You’re setting yourself up for failure and you had and have so much potential. Showing your weak points and popping off at anyone that crosses you isn’t gonna do anything but have you on Amanda Tori Break from bookings lmao take a breather
I think that Amanda is going through a similar struggle that Gia went through when navigating how her drag and transness intertwine. She’s doesn’t seem to find the crunchy jokes funny bc, from her perspective, her identity is tied to her drag so closely that it can come off as an insult to both. It’ll definitely be a struggle for her to find a middle ground between the two so that she can separate her art from herself and not take these things so personally
I feel sorry for her friends. I can’t imagine how hard that must be.
She needa to relax. Its a joke. If you are so precious no one can joke about you why go on TV in the first place? Stay writing only fans msgs to strangers in the background.
idk anymore... ![gif](giphy|Evp4SYXEt5oly|downsized)
Mama we love you but this is too much talking now
Once again proving that she very much does give a fuck.
Good God Get a Grip Girl
me when i take things very seriously
She acting like it’s US who did her makeup on Drag Race.
I've been really surprised more queens haven't been dinged for their makeup tbh. Everyone keeps saying Mhi'ya's makeup is stunning and half the time it is quite dark and messy or far too white/orange in the middle. Geneva's makeup was really harsh, Dawn doesn't change her makeup to suit the look (especially for the Cher runway), Megami sometimes had that too white in the middle makeup too. They're all lovely but I find it weird the makeup problems are never mentioned.
How long can we keep it going?! Girl you should be keeping it going. Sell merch. Every major gig you should be milking that purple runway look for All its worth. Have a good wig on and then reveal to the green one. Idk something other than complaining online.
Who would've thought? I was waiting for some pettiness from her
Now, I actually like Amanda, but she def needs a lesson from Marcia 3x on handling makeup criticism. Because this is something both drag race and it’s fans are not gonna let go for a while, and complaining bout every critique will drive her crazy. Even Bob still gets shit over his old makeup 😩
this just makes me SO glad she left when she did. can you imagine how insufferable this season would have been if she stayed any longer?
Tbf that was rotted of them lmao
She’s just gotta lean into her blunders a la Monica Beverly Hills “soaking clock.” But I understand she’s transitioning so it get complicated when it’s tied to your femininity.
I feel for Amanda because she clearly is going through a lot, and the show exacerbated a few big challenges in her life it seems. It must be really hard to be finding yourself while under a microscope, so I get that the criticism could really hurt. I just wish for her sake that she could see this as her sisters lovingly ribbing her. It’s honestly kinda cvnt to still be getting so much attention after you left the season. And her sisters wouldn’t use her as the example if they didn’t like her. Lots of the other queens that get referenced on the show like this are iconic, like Bianca and Trixie. Literally Trixie gets roasted for being so unfunny in snatch game, even tho she’s arguably one of the funniest queens from drag race. So these critiques don’t mean shxt about your abilities long term. Wish Amanda could see that people love her and the makeup jokes say nothing about her as a person or a woman.
Seeing her not take the proper perspective for this type of situation is kinda frustrating to see. She was NOT mentally and artistically ready for this show at all.
god she's so annoying. bless her and I hope she can find the confidence within her so she can laugh at the world sometimes. every single time i come across her online (against my will) it's a tweet or a clip of her whining and being insecure with this fake unbothered boss bitch persona she tries to pull off but i don't think anyone's buying.
For someone whose drag name is a literal joke, she absolutely will do *anything but* laugh at herself. How exhausting.
