Fun fact Mera Q is Cynthia Doll's sister, Dawn is Jay Kay's sister and Mni'yah Iman Lepaige is Fantasia Royale Gaga's sister. The Dragula connections is very strong in this season
@@dragula2950no she isn’t. and it absolutely breaks my heart to see her getting compared to that monster. was supposed to be the best day of her life, ended up being one of the worst for her. that makes me so sad
@@BBLDRIZZYYYYYI was so sad because Plane Jane honestly gave me underdog vibes, kind of like Kameron Michaels and was so ready to root for her but the allegations completely ruined it for me.
jay kay from dragula has also claimed theyve seen her touch someone inappropriately at a show? im not saying this is 100% true but its more than one account
This promo wasn't what I was expecting at all especially with them being on MTV and being in their 16th season and MTV had a really popular show called my super sweet 16 - I thought it would be more of a brighter colorful promo with a sweet theme. I assume they didnt do it because they did a candyland type theme for season 14.
Also since this is a political year season they probs wanted to make a politically relevant theme like they did in 12, but it just didn't stick as much
so Morphine’s entrance look is a recreation/reference to a look that coloumbian artist and goddess Kali Uchis wore, its such a beautiful look and i’m obsessed with her already!
I saw Kennedy Davenport give a shoutout to Mhi’ya (“the queen of flips”) and saying that’s her drag daughter, so I cannot wait for a talent show or girl group to see her perform!
I just was thinking to myself, I just smoked and heated up my dinner, what do I want to watch that will keep me engaged for a half hour and of course you popped up. Been a fan for a long time, love you both. Hope you both have a great holiday season.
Camo is designed to obfuscate shape and detail, to hide you, to make you blend in. This is working against the goals of a promo photo for drag race, where you're trying to stand out and gesture towards a sense of who you are or what your style is. There are ways of doing camo to stand out, see Jeremy Scott, but the colour scheme production went with here isn't reinventing camo like that, it's just doing what camo is designed to do. Any of the queens who managed to stand out- not because of but despite this choice- should be applauded indeed.
Ngl the promo and entrances did not do it for me (with the exceptions of Nymphia, Sapphira, and Q), but I'm trying to withhold judgment until the season airs because, as you've said, the queens can (and most likely will) surprise us on the show. These introductions are just a taste test, not the main course.
Hi Mera and Scarlett, for this week I'll give you a soft yes...😂😂😂 Cheers to spreading more rumors that Mera's in the newest season of dragrace filming and dragging scarlett with her ..😂😂😂 Video suggestion - Your top lipsync outfits/ensemble per season and then choose you favorites. Excited for the Yearly Mangled Awards - Suggestion for Categories to have nominations: - Best Entrance - Best Exit - Trade of The Year - Lipsync of the Year - Winner of the Year And you do the rest... Love from the Philippines.. Mwah!
The absolute icon, Mera for season 17! I just have to say that Q is so iconic! I'm originally from Milwaukee and I love how hard you go for midwestern queens. You're an icon!
I saw Dick Von Dyke at Pride in Minneapolis in June and he was freaking amazing!!! I had a chance to meet him at the bars after and I told him how great of a performer he was, he was super nice and thankful 😊
My top 4 favourite promo looks are Geneva karr Q Amanda tori meating Nymphia wind My top 4 favourite entrance looks are Nymphia wind Q Sapphira cristal Dawn My top 4 confessional looks are Geneva karr Dawn Nymphia wind Sapphira cristal
So excited for Season 16 as the queens deciding the top & bottom placements each week with a vote is gonna cause so much drama! That’s power to the queens!
Makes sense, since there's no momentum behind the queens to feel threatened by, I feel like they will vote fairly at that point. If it was at the end of the season like the jury thing however...
I just seen the video about plain Jane and you can see in the video she clearly did not grab his genitals she didn't even stick her hand far enough to do that she was putting money in his g-string or whatever and the guy was smiling open his mouth like excited I don't know maybe there's another situation but yae 🤷🏻♀️
So apparently plain Jane has been accused of doing this by different people not just a single person so it could have actually happened to someone else and even if it's true or not it's still an invasion of privacy and creepy to put your hands down someone pants especially without consent.
I mean it'll be nice to have the first East Asian winner considering the representation of them in Drag Race isn't the best, or fail like Plastique and Manilla and Anetra
A rumor I heard was that the promo we see was filmed two weeks ago because the OG promo got scrapped. The OG promo would have been more militaristic with large tanks, etc.
I’d kinda like to see this franchise do the Golden Beaver thing that Canada’s Drag Race is doing, and have the winner save one of the Bottom 3 each week. Or, they could have the Keys from Dragula, where someone could give themselves immunity or put someone else in the bottom. Ru might not allow something like that, due to how much in control of the storylines she wants to have and such, but that could be a fun twist to bring here.
I dunno. That Golden Beaver seems cursed. The drama and fighting going on in Untucked is wild. Like tensions are already this high? That’s not a good sign
I feel like last season i understamd perfectly evrybody's drag just based on their names like sugar and spice, princess poppy, marcia marcia marcia,malaysia babydoll fox, but this season the names have nothing to do with their personality, plasma sounds like alternative and edgy and she is a comedy queen, megami sounds like an anime lover amd she is more like latina glamour, plane jane sounds like a comedy queen but she is so edgy and sexy, i was really confused with this season names 😅😅😅
while plane jane's promo is simple, it speaks to me as a russian. idk what exactly, but it's giving pop star music video from the 90s/00s and i love it. as for her remark about katya, it was clearly a joke, and katya herself laughs about her "inauthentic" brand. i would've done the same in my entrance tbh 😂
I love that miss mera said she never recognize/heard of Hershey is funny bc I’ve never seen you at a drag show in the last 19 years or seen you perform and let alone support black drag in Saint Louis! Never seen either of you at black night or shows.
Am I the only one not seeing any sort of camouflage/war theme here?... One queen is wearing camo, just seems like it was a color palette theme. Could be a shady science lab/industrial theme also
In reality tv, a fair competition is a boring competition. I feel like RPRD is not a pageant, it’s a show and we fans live for twists and little harmless riga morris here and there.
ik they probably plan and filmed the promo a while ago and it would be hard to pivot based on the whole israel/palestine conflict but damn… it feels like such a missed opportunity to not make the S16 promo “sweet 16” themed. like it feels soooo weird for drag race to use a theme around revolution and military when palestinians are being bombed and murdered by israel. just overall tone deaf and a huge misstep
Fun fact Mera Q is Cynthia Doll's sister, Dawn is Jay Kay's sister and Mni'yah Iman Lepaige is Fantasia Royale Gaga's sister. The Dragula connections is very strong in this season
So is Fantasia the Drag Daughter of
Kennedy Davenport? As Mhi’ya is Kennedy’s daughter.
wow:0
For anyone who's seen the discourse, the people who initially accused Plane jane have rescinded their statements and apologized. She is not a predator
Oh really so she isn’t a new sherry pie thank goe

I’m so happy for Nymphia Wind!
She just performed in our bar tonight in Taiwan.
Thanks for showing love to our Taiwanese queen 🇹🇼❤️❤️❤️
I know people hate the camo but I honestly love the dark colors mixed with the bright green. 💚
Last year, they brought sasha colby to compete - that was the twist.
Yes I started Drag in St Louis, 🤣 I grew up in Florissant
Bwahahaha thanks for clearing that up for us!

@@AnitaNewportthat would look so sharp!
Hershii also replied on a comment in mtq that the queens also wanted the sweet 16 theme lol
@@ohyesitsjackiesI'm still waiting on it. Aside from the neon of 10 and the pastel of 13 they've become a bit repetitive.
so Morphine’s entrance look is a recreation/reference to a look that coloumbian artist and goddess Kali Uchis wore, its such a beautiful look and i’m obsessed with her already!
Is it me or does Plane Jane in and out off Drag look like Rosé like that confesstional look is Rosé
I thought PJ looked similar to Kameron Michael’s in the promo look.
She gives me like a long face rose, almost kameron michaels too
i feel she is wearing rosé's confessional jacket?
We need more older queens !
Agreed,
nymphia and sapphira are my tops
Nymphia gave me some heavy Juno Birch's best friend vibe and I live.
I was thinking the same yessss
Can we talk about Mr.Mangle? This simple fade, sweater, and chain is IT 🥵
I saw Kennedy Davenport give a shoutout to Mhi’ya (“the queen of flips”) and saying that’s her drag daughter, so I cannot wait for a talent show or girl group to see her perform!

Nymphia has the biggest winner energy and im so excited for that!
This promo is giving me 1984 "Big Brother is Watching You" with the "Join the Revolution" slogan.
The promo palette was giving me Alexis Michelle “I wore your favorite color girl” at the Michelle Visage roast
I was so excited for you 2 to cover this! Love your recap and reviews so much.
I totally agree with Scarlett and the Beyoncé connection! It totally gave Destiny’s Child Survivor to me 😂😂
Ngl the promo and entrances did not do it for me (with the exceptions of Nymphia, Sapphira, and Q), but I'm trying to withhold judgment until the season airs because, as you've said, the queens can (and most likely will) surprise us on the show.

21:50 oooo you’re so right! I was tryna figure out what it was about her mug that wasn’t hitting for me…she needed a red lip!!

Hey mera and Scarlett. I'm so rooting for Dawn, Plasma, Nymphia and Q.
Get Maddy to ask the questions for the MTQ videos.
I feel like Migami's promo look is giving Rogue from X-men with the colors and the way the yellowish straps go across her legs.
Given that last episode of drag race Canada I hope the beaver moves south
So excited for Season 16 as the queens deciding the top & bottom placements each week with a vote is gonna cause so much drama! That’s power to the queens!
Hershiii! i love her from Tik Tok,! she was not on tik tok for a bit i guess this is why
Thank you for my morning news! 😊
I think yeah last year was back to basics with the only gags being the twins, switching networks and a shorter episode lol
Dawn was giving HIM from Powerpuff Girls perfectly fused with her Pixie vibes. Also Y’all are glowing ❤
the promo picture with everybody standing around the scaffolding is giving werq the world’s current theme to me
Yeah but werq the world had the better color palette
That morphine entrance look is actually inspired by that kali uchis meme lol she's a huge kali uchis fan
Q is best friends with Cynthia Doll btw
Mangeled Morning on a Friday?? You must really love us to gift us this😗😗
to my understanding i think that the voting system is only for the first 2 episodes as it is a double premiere! i don’t think it’s all season :)
That's my understanding, it's just going to be for the talent show.
Makes sense, since there's no momentum behind the queens to feel threatened by, I feel like they will vote fairly at that point. If it was at the end of the season like the jury thing however...
It's not a "weird" color story or choice - just not your cup of tea. For some this is heaven and a dream!

@@RomielSanchez I heard she wasn't really putting her hands down his pants she was just putting money in his waistband
@@RomielSanchez but I don't know this interaction at least definitely looked consensual
What missed opportunity the themed should have been RuPaul’s Sweet 16
Team Nymphia Wind!!! We need another Asian winner
I mean it'll be nice to have the first East Asian winner considering the representation of them in Drag Race isn't the best, or fail like Plastique and Manilla and Anetra
26:47 bless her heart 😂😂😂
Nymphia’s entrance look gave Juno Birch
How do you feel about the promo colour palette though?
A rumor I heard was that the promo we see was filmed two weeks ago because the OG promo got scrapped. The OG promo would have been more militaristic with large tanks, etc.
Did anyone else notice the “XVI” on Dawn’s fly in her promo? Soooo smart!
LOL@ "the beaver's moving south."
So I will ask you… What did you think about the color choices? 😂😂
the unofficial rumor is that there was a different promo, but it was scrapped last second and this one was a last-minute replacement.
I’d kinda like to see this franchise do the Golden Beaver thing that Canada’s Drag Race is doing, and have the winner save one of the Bottom 3 each week.

@@graphiquejack ok but the most recent untucked on canada is WILD and i lived for every second. maybe it's for the better?
I was WAITINGGGGG for u mamas
The promo reminds me of something you’d find as a Big Brother promo or a survivor promo
@MeraMangle love the show, love your sweater! Where did you get it from?
LET THEM ALL STAY THRU SEASON, POINTS GIVEN FOR EACH CHALLENGE, AND THEY CAN SHOW EVERYTHING!!!👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍
28:40 this comes as no surprise by the one from Kornbread’s family (I need to learn names) seems like she may give great confessional moments.
Nymphia, Sapphira, Dawn Mirage and Plain Jane are so far my favorite for looks and personality.
omg Mera's sweater is cuuute
Saw Meet the Queens...good group, variety of types and ages!!❤❤❤❤
mera's face when scarlett is rambling about the promo giving beyonce is me whenever traci says literally anything on canada's.
Always have fun watching your content. Thanks for posting.
Morphine love dion is giving me kali Uchis realness😍😍
I could see the twist working VERY well. If they rank queens from first to last besides themselves.
I love Dawn! I think she is Jay Kay’s sister that or great friends!!
I mean they're all kind of Brooklyn weirdo Queens so I'm sure they all run in the same circle 😂
I feel like last season i understamd perfectly evrybody's drag just based on their names like sugar and spice, princess poppy, marcia marcia marcia,malaysia babydoll fox, but this season the names have nothing to do with their personality, plasma sounds like alternative and edgy and she is a comedy queen, megami sounds like an anime lover amd she is more like latina glamour, plane jane sounds like a comedy queen but she is so edgy and sexy, i was really confused with this season names 😅😅😅

I think Mera liked this colour palette.
imagine getting all excited u got on drag race, and then they tell u what the theme for the promo is
good morning christine’s!!!!!🩷🩷🩷
I love that miss mera said she never recognize/heard of Hershey is funny bc I’ve never seen you at a drag show in the last 19 years or seen you perform and let alone support black drag in Saint Louis! Never seen either of you at black night or shows.
St. Louis queen!!! And A Kansas City queen. You must be happy!👍👍👍
love jk terrorizing dragula and now dawn on drag race
I saw Amanda tori meeting and plasma in okc and they giveeeeeee
Mera grow a backbone and actually talk about the genocide happening in Gaza rn instead of just hinting it
Love the haircut, Mera!
Niphan Wind...one to watch!!👍👍👍👍
LETSSS GOOOOOOO SAPPHIRA!!!!!!!!!!!! Home town girl and she is that stunning in person trust me !!! I’m so excited to see my girl on!!
where did you get that jumper. I neeeeeed it.
Right?!? Saw it on the live yesterday and it's GORGEOUS ❤
Yaaaaaaaaassss, i was hoping yall would do a vid today
Such a bummer for Nymphia that Denim just did that sunglasses runway.
Nymphia Wind!
i didnt like that they included the entrances, that's always the best part of the episode.
I love it when Mera is out of drag cause girl never likes anything and I LIVE 😂😂😂
I feel like they test the twists on Canada first
Am I the only one not seeing any sort of camouflage/war theme here?... One queen is wearing camo, just seems like it was a color palette theme. Could be a shady science lab/industrial theme also
In reality tv, a fair competition is a boring competition. I feel like RPRD is not a pageant, it’s a show and we fans live for twists and little harmless riga morris here and there.
i think the promo is inspired by Rythm Nation 1989 by Janet Jackson
My Top 3 are: Dawn, Plasma & Nymphia.
Not a fan of the color palette either but all the queens still look stunning
32nd.... Good Mangled Morning Mera & Scarlet! MWAHHA! xo :) ..nice to see you both "Relaxed" .... you deserve it
Mera, you've worn those colors!!!!🤓🤓🤓
Mera Visage hating on the green 😂
I think im the only one who actually liked the promo looks and colors 😂😂😂😂
Nope, I did too! 🤟🏿
