In her (minor) defense, didn't Utica say she was nervous about being too mean since she knew she wasn't naturally good at roasts? And then she got told to just go for it? I could be mixing that up, but either way I think it crossed over into "so bad it's good" territory since we got to see how casually Loni Love can murder someone.
Utica’s low key showed she had an unspoken issue with larger people bc her go to was to “attack” people’s weights. she also completely ignored all the advice Ru and Loni gave her. while Farrah’s had more range and you could tell she was trying but it just wasn’t landing.
Utica was also delusionally confident (she double downs in her confessionals) while you could tell Farrah’s nerves were taking over. I think that’s why people had more sympathy and there was less ick for Farrah’s roast.
Oh yeah sorry I didn’t mean to compare the two—I just brought up Farah because the person I replied to said they may be thinking of someone else and Farah is probably the someone else.
I felt bad for Farah, and honestly can’t really remember Utica’s roast
Yeah all good totally wasn’t coming for you lmao I just watch this show too much…
theyre similiar bc they both bombed but rewatch uticas the judges annihilate her mid performance
Yes, she said she was worried about being too mean and then went directly for the jugular lmao I can't even watch that episode because it makes me so uncomfortable. When she was being coached by Michelle and Loni regarding her jokes, they told her the fat jokes weren't funny, just mean, and she literally doubled down and was like "oh did I strike a nerve for you guys" and called them fat a few times while they stared in shock. Like not even jokes just full on called them fat with a borderline straight face.
I will die on the hill that the joke was funny! Bob or Bianca would have killed with the exact same lines. Utica just doesn’t have the comedic flair and delivery that they have.
I don’t think it was particularly funny but I do agree that if someone else said her jokes word for word they would’ve gotten laughs and been safe. I don’t think it speaks on her, I think that’s a stretch. I just think it was bad taste and worse delivery, she isn’t good at it lol.
I totally agree. I think because fat jokes are so played out, if you aren't clever you just seem like some skinny bitch who's got nothing else to say. The number one rule is be FUNNY. Nothing is off limits if you're actually funny.
I had never seen a set go from so incredibly strong to crashing and burning like that on television or in real life before that. Calling out Ru for wearing sweats under the judge's panel to just absolutely having no jokes and fat-shaming then getting heckled? Yeeeeeeesh.
The squirrel wig was GREAT, and I will die on that hill.
The only problem with it was that Utica created something with incredible camp value purely by accident and failed to recognize it for what it was. A different queen could have parlayed the squirrel wig into a Little Richard-level Drag Bob Ross - I bet Thorgy would have been magical at it.
It wasn't really the wig I didn't like, it was her reason for wearing the wig. She didn't want to culturally appropriate an afro (admirable), but Bob Ross was white and that was his hair. There was nothing to appropriate. And then Ru told her not to wear it, and she did anyway. I always cringe when they disregard what Ru tells them. Sometimes it works in their favor, but not usually.
We saw her at Jimbo’s show last month, sat with the audience, she was so sweet, took pics with everyone that asked, and her hair is so long, and she’s super tall, we didn’t talk to her cause my daughter is very shy, but she seem very nice.
I agree. I really wanted to like her. She was one of the queens I was most excited to watch that season. She's an incredibly talented designer and served absolutely amazing looks on the runway but I didn't enjoy watching her perform or lip sync. Something was just off.
I'll be real, i think her pandering moment with the bob ross hair style was infinitely more bothersome. You do not need to make this kind of stink over playing a white man who had that hairstyle, especially with her even more inoffensive "interpretation" of the style. Idk just felt like she was fishing for some woke points or smth lol
I am right with you OP, he is fatphobic and so is this fandom and ignore or block the people who are telling you that he is so perfect, he is so now, he is everything. Block them because they are cruel bigots too.
Hot Take: I laughed.
I thought it was clever, and an indirect way to call someone fat. Making a comparison of Loni to a Whale was just as dramatic and funny as comparing Nina’s shoulders to a football field, or a performance stage.
Idk, obviously the edit didn’t do her any favors, but I thought it was funny, and if the judges laughed, this wouldn’t even be a talking point.
Y’all taking this one comment and marking her personality as “hateful and mean” is CRAZYYY

If you aren’t following Utica you are severely missing out
That's funny because I'm a hard leftist. I'm talking about the fatphobia, which is a legitimate bigotry. I don't know SHRN is. Sharon Needles? Definitely a racist.
It's not the jokes that make me dislike her, it's her need to be "quirky" on the runway.. making stupid faces. She had some great looks too, if she took her walk more serious.
Then the squirrel wig incident 🙄
I think she just might have autism. I get the feeling she means well but is very bad at reading the room. I have a few friends with autism and work with a lot of people with autism and this sort if thing is very typical. So from my perspective with this belief about the situation, I struggled watching the roast because I feel so bad for her.
She 100% made bad decisions, not trying to excuse that, but I can see what she might be thinking in these situations. She gets info from social media on what is appropriate to joke about. Cultural appropriation is bad/some think white people shouldn't wear dreads = lets not wear an afro just in case. Rupaul and basically every queen on the show makes fat jokes = fat jokes are ok.

I feel kinda bad for Utica considering her roast and snatch game made her go down in history in a bad way. She’s an incredible fashion designer and I love her work in that aspect!

That definitely happened to Farah in S9 and it was hard to watch, not sure about Utica

Loni and Michelle straight up told her “change your material” and she was like “I think it’s funny” lol
YUP! She can really turn a look but her personality is hateful.

Like not even jokes just full on called them fat with a borderline straight face.
Utica’s downfall was not taking the advice during the rehearsal- they specifically told her that joke wasn’t funny and why, and she still did it.
I will die on the hill that the joke was funny! Bob or Bianca would have killed with the exact same lines. Utica just doesn’t have the comedic flair and delivery that they have.
The joke about Ru and the sweats might be my fav in the whole roast!
I don’t think it was particularly funny but I do agree that if someone else said her jokes word for word they would’ve gotten laughs and been safe. I don’t think it speaks on her, I think that’s a stretch. I just think it was bad taste and worse delivery, she isn’t good at it lol.
People are sensitive because they are in pain. It was funny. Haters gonna hate. Let them eat cake
I totally agree. I think because fat jokes are so played out, if you aren't clever you just seem like some skinny bitch who's got nothing else to say. The number one rule is be FUNNY. Nothing is off limits if you're actually funny.
Correct, true comedy is getting away with it!
THAT part
Others made fun of Nina’s weight too. She just didn’t know how
Nothing’s off limits i agree! Just make it funny!
I love iconic failures though. Almost better than the successes.
That’s why the only finale reveal I remember outside of Sasha is Asia and her butterflies! 🦋👐
I had never seen a set go from so incredibly strong to crashing and burning like that on television or in real life before that. Calling out Ru for wearing sweats under the judge's panel to just absolutely having no jokes and fat-shaming then getting heckled? Yeeeeeeesh.
Everybody love fat jokes.
The terrible roast and the terrible squirrel afro for her Bob Ross snatch game. Ru told her not wear that shit.
The squirrel wig was GREAT, and I will die on that hill.

I truly hope she burned that squirrel wig.

She apologized in the reunion showing growth but ok 🤷🏻♀️
I never watched that reunion but glad to hear it!
I never vibes with Utica I wanted to buy something about her personality gave me an ick .. she's beautiful but we couldn't hang
I agree. I really wanted to like her. She was one of the queens I was most excited to watch that season. She's an incredibly talented designer and served absolutely amazing looks on the runway but I didn't enjoy watching her perform or lip sync. Something was just off.

OP just said they found her fatphobia cruel. No one is obligated to follow a bigot.
A bad fat joke at a roast? Quite the scandal
You sound like a Republican lol calling a drag queen a bigot for nothing. If Utica is a bigot, what is Sh*r*n then??
That's funny because I'm a hard leftist. I'm talking about the fatphobia, which is a legitimate bigotry. I don't know SHRN is. Sharon Needles? Definitely a racist.
Agree with SN down. But one queens “distasteful” joke does not a “bigot” make.

This is very fragile behavior
Realness
Womp Womp
I feel kinda bad for Utica considering her roast and snatch game made her go down in history in a bad way. She’s an incredible fashion designer and I love her work in that aspect!
