Its bizarre to think katya could be considered a filler queen... she literally carries the franchise

Not Willam saying "Did someone say my name?" XD

Being a BORING season doesn't mean it wasn't full of (now) Iconic queens. The boring season can be attributed to several things, bad production, bad editing, bad writers or just a not so funny bunch of queens, but I would have to say it wasn't the queens fault, it was more on the production side IMO.

WILLAM SAYING, "DID SOMEONE SAY MY NAME" COMPLETED MY DAY! HAHAHAHAHA!

Katya: astral projects once she senses the tension of RuPaul and Pearls confrontation Violet: didn’t even register that it was happening

I really don’t get why people dislike S7. We had the old queens vs new queens drama. The Shakesqueer bomb. The beard runway and Jasmine and Kennedy’s takes on their beards. “Do I have something on my face?”. Suuuch a fun dramatic season.

Nobody gives Max any love and it makes me sad. Season 7 production did her dirty.

The problem is not Violet saying (or not) that Katya was a filler queen, the problem is that Katya didn't believe in herself enough at that time, and that's sad because even without confidence she is amazing.

Weirdly enough i feel like Katya wouldve done way better had she been accepted into one of the earlier seasons, i genuinely belive she wouldve had a better chance

“I was over there trying to be funny with Ms. Fame; I had enough on my plate without worrying about what Pearl (was doing).” Hahahahaha

It's mind boggling there's this perpetual critique that S07 was a 'bad season', 'boring', or 'talentless.' It's one of the best seasons there's ever been and so many great queens came out of that #facts

First of all, its clear violet loves and respects drag so much, because she does it flawlessly. she is mesmerizing second of all, if all the stories ive heard about those P.A's are true, i know i would do the same. do they think i cant recreate any drama or fight like i would know its a tv show

That Shakesqueer skit was the product of terrible writing and producing. The scripts always flop and the queens get blamed for not making it funny.

The season 7 queens really hated their entire season, huh?

These are the reasons why I believe the public viewed Season 7 as the most boring season of the time. 1. It followed right after season 4, 5, and 6, 3 of the best seasons of the entire franchise, the epitomes of prime drag race, so the comparison made it seems somehow lackluster. 2. The storyline of that season was not good. At the start of episode 3, the grand storyline of the season was formed, the bitter old lady brigade vs the young fashion queen. It had really good potential to be the next Heathers vs Boogers or Rolaskatox vs Jinkx. But it didn't follow through. Jasmine and Kasha were quickly eliminated, Ginger and Kennedy being bitter, Pearl and Miss Fame being favored while being very quiet, Violet was portrait as being shady and aloof. Katya is the only one who's being absolutely likable and actually have a great story to tell, (her crying to Miss Fame was probably the best moment of the season) but she wasn't in either one of the cliches, so she doesn't have enough screen time. It's like the production got lost as who to promote mid-way. The audience doesn't have a clear vision as who to root for (compare to Sharon, Jinkx, Adore). 3. The most obvious one, too many group acting challenges on a season full of fashion queens. Not showing the queens at the best of light. NOW, people love season 7, because we understand each and every one of them better for the incidents AFTER season 7. Violet's Gag-worthy season 8 finale looks, Pearl declared war against World of Wonders, Jasmine and Kasha being funny on internet, Max showed how she was the most mistreated queen ever, Ginger's singing ability and Kennedy being exceptionally funny, Trixie and Katya becoming the biggest drag name ever. But pretty much non of that happened due to the showing of season 7.

I dont know how anyone can say that season 7 was 'boring'. All the girls from that season are legends. It was brilliant.

Willam saying "Did someone say my name" in the background sent me 😆

"Heard out of the corner of my eye" kinda works if you lipread 👄👀

I said it back then and I'll say it now: season 7 is better than all the seasons that came after season 9.

Season 7 is one of the best seasons to me, I have no idea why people think it was boring. I mean I know why, but I totally disagree bc I ❤️it.

Katya is so amazing

I love season 7 and Violet is probably my favorite winner. What was wrong with the season 7, I think, is that the show was probably written with a comedy queen winning the season in mind. I think the producers pegged Ginger to win, but Violet’s first runway changed their plans and Ginger wasn’t very likeable. Drag Race is not a competition. They write a show around certain queens with a story in mind. Violet winning a season which was intended for someone else to win is whyI love season 7, plus all the amazing queens!

Asttina Mandella hiding in the background with her ASOS jacket

Aside from Willam's input, anyone else notice Asstina's Asos jacket behind Violet's segment...👀👀👀

Violet not knowing wtf the Brady bunch movie is at the very end with a “…yeah” I love her

It’s Willam laughing at Violet saying Rupauls a great actress for me 😂

Season 7 is one of my favorite seasons. The talent the girls had, OMG it was amazing. I even remember Tempest and her iconic entrance.

Even if s7 was "boring" it still gave us the most iconic queens in my opinion. Trixie, katya, and violet!

Season 7 was the best season for me the drama and the way they all just meshed together

Violet has the ASOS jacket that astina has! I live 😂

I mean compared to more recent ones like S13.. yeah, S7 was a freakin masterpiece.

I don't like gay clubs and I've never been into the drag scene. To this day, Katya is the ONLY Drag Race queen I have met in person, at a gay club. She was everything to me.

I just want them to get rid of the acting challenges. They're so long and never are as funny as the production think they are

Katya was anything but a filler queen.

Katya is an amazing human being. Violet is a true queen too. My preference is Katya, simply because I identify more w her. I do love Violet's personality. The thing they both have in common is that they are unapologetically genuine to who they are. And that's very rare in today's world.

People love to say it was boring but all the stories that line up, how strict they were, ru being harsh, and production being tight on each queen. But still besides s5 or s9, s7 has the one of the most diverse cast that are now all famous and quoted the most, even scenes from the season get replayed often,

So Willam was there the entire time?😭💀

I love you Violet but Katya was definitely not a filler queen

The way she described that moment was perfect. Wow. I felt exactly what she was feeling just by how she described that. Wow that was hard.

I dont think any of the girls on season 7 actually enjoyed being there😭😭😭

love her

Katya is not a filler queen she is one of the most loved drag queen 💖 in rupaul herstory

that sound effect at 3:38 scared the sh*t outta me!

God that siren intro and outro scares the hell out of me LOL

Just saying, yr a great interviewer. Kudos from Bina Westville.😄

Peep astina mandellas asos jacket in the back behind violet😍

she's gorgeous

season 7 was the first season I ever watched and it was ICONIC

which ever season had Read You, Wrote You is my ultimate favorite season period

LOVE Violet!!!! 💘

S7 is the first season that i watched and i thought it was LIT af

Somebody has to do a parody of Queens 'Killer Queen,' c,mon

i like all of the seasons personally (let me add ive only seen up to season 8 and all stars 2 please don’t kill me ;-;) what baffles me are people saying season 7 was boring, i don’t understand how

Would you be able to put in the description when this interview was filmed? It’s hard to determined if these interviews are new or old 😅

If I took a shot every time Violet said “like” I’d be dead

"...there was the Brandy Bunch movies." And that's a read.

Each of you have taken your own life after the show

Violet looks so different here than she did on Ru Paul , I wouldn’t of know it was her if it wasn’t in the title!

Willam in the back I cant💀

"She was filler queen"

Handsome! You should try wearing your polo with the collar up 😍😍😎

The way max looked at pearl had me dead

Violet is good and fabulous but it's fucked up to say that about someone. Who get this was chosen, yeah ok whatever

katya was a filler queen, she filled in the gaps of talent that pearl, violet, and fame left showing.

Wasn't Violet a last minute alternate for season 7? So it wouldn't make sense for her to call Katya a filler queen. If anything, she was the filler queen...

I think it was Joey Jay

is that asttina mandella’s jacket in the background?

After season 4, 5 snd 6, season 7 may have felt to be a let down, but it actually is one of the seasons that I got to love after ru-watching it again.

Where can I listen to this full ep? I’m a newbie don’t drag me

I think after watching s6 people expected so much from s7 and it was never met. that’s why some people dislike s7 and find it boring. + the editing and production.

Joseph you're so handsome! 🥰

Katyas entrance look was so much better than Violet's, sorry to desagree

The way they didn’t mention Trixie.. 😂

Was that filmed in William's drag closet?

Adding iota to my vocabulary now

omfg as someone who works as a PA pretty often on productions, I can't tell you how much we do not wanna fight with you to be quiet. We are the bottom of the totem pole on a film set. Don't shoot the messenger if they tell you to be quite while filming. There are thousands of dollars being spent every day during production and PAs are getting paid so much less than everyone else!!!

'DID SOMEONE SAY MY NAME'

Wait Violet’s interview is at Willam’s Studio

like i didn’t even know people didn’t like season 7!!! like who are we watching now? season 7 queens. who has really carried the torch for the show? the season 7 queens. the amount of talent in that season was STACKED!!!! there’s no way every queen could have shined all at the same time. it would have been too much to write in!

Oh violet don’t you know? 😈 you don’t come for Katya 😈

The devil works hard, but Joseph works harder I swear!

Unpopular oppinion i liked s7 better than 1 and 2

i think post-S7, violet and fame kinda started the trend of drag race fashion queens being invited to attend/walk during fashion week. fame even went to Cannes w/ loreal

Looking back at it S7 wasnt a bad season the issue was just that it came after S6 which was probably one of the most successful seasons with (in my opinion) the most successful winner and the most successful snatch game, not to mention it had ornacia "I FEEL VERY ATTACKED" etc etc

Is that astinas jacket in the background?

Season 7 still has the best Untucked you cannot convince me otherwise. There is no season of Untucked that could beat season 7

Does anyone know if this interview is older? Sounds//looks familiar but the upload date is throwing.

Worst season was 11

Love to know which ones he thought were that rotten? Who he might not have gotten along with

Can we talk about the straight up honesty of violet being like "yeah I think I may have said that"

Did anyone have fun in that season?

"Maybe RuPaul is just a good actress..." Finally and eternally debunked since the release of AJ and the Queen.

I think any season that followed season 6 would have been perceived as boring cause season 6 was in my opinion the best season so far. But if you look at season 7 as a standalone season its actually pretty good.

Being old school in terms of work, it's bad? I mean she's saying that the queens have to be more wise with the time they have to be prepared, it's that bad? Idk maybe i'm overthinking it but it sounds like something bad.

"Ooh la la la la la la"

Katya did not shine like we know her on her original season, but BOY did she glow up, like myyy god 🙌🏻❤️ She's my pick me up on a shitty day, all in the glory of wierdness😍

Like, take, like, a shot, like, every time, like, Violet says "like"... **hiccup**

JOSEPH YOU BRING US SUCH GOOD CONTENT i know im a year late but ish shtill TREW
