Nice! S2 is what pulled me in. I could never get into S1 unfortunately.
Oh, S2 was sooooo much better than S1! I started on S2, and then caught up with S1 in re-runs when I ran out of S2 eps. The talent was much, much better the second season than the first. I loved me some Pandora Boxx and Jujubee. I started out liking Raven, but her personality totally ruined it for me.

I love Raja
soo much.
Charisma, posture, demeanor, attitude, humor, creativity -- really, almost everything. Even voice! Both in and out of drag. God, and her patriotic look absolutely slayed me. I'd love to go to one of her shows.

She really is head and shoulders over everyone else. I love her natural comic sense, and she has creativity to burn. If she doesn't win, something's very wrong.
The Heathers thing was mildly cute in the beginning. Then it got annoying. Very annoying. Fast. Zero comedic value at that. I get so irritated each time one of them uses the word "booger" to refer to one of the others, too. It's one of the reasons why my like for Delta started to decrease so quickly. (Though she never got as bad as Shangela)
TOTALLY. I really liked Delta until her raging insecurity started coming out and making her into an unbearable bitch. But I like her onstage. I was kind of thinking they'd bring her back last week. I'm so torn with Shangela! I kind of like her, but she's done her share of backstabbing, too, and she's not ready to be the winner of this competition--BUT, she is a natural performer. I bet she'd be fun to watch in cabaret.
I'm frequently judged or side-eyed for this, but: I like Carmen too. I can't explain it very well. She makes me laugh so much -- sometimes at her expense, though I still like her -- and she's oddly endearing. Yara is my 3rd. She somewhat reminds me of Jessica, though somehow "softer"? I love her personality. I love how she rarely gossips or gets catty during Untucked too.
Carmen is kind of the Tatiana of this season, and I kind of liked Tatiana. I mean, they're not the performers that the others are, but having the physical aspect sewn up isn't a liability, to me. It just seems to bring out the cattiness, envy and stabbiness in other contestants. (Note: I had to wiki s2 to remember Tatiana's name, and they list everyone's real name. Did you know Jujubee's real first name is AIRLINE?)
I kind of feel like Yara + Alexis Mateo = Jessica Wild. I like both Yara and Alexis, personality-wise. And I like Manila, performance-wise. But Raja is definitely the standout!
