I'm never going to be able to get through this challenge because I don't really have any friends here on ATRL and there's a lot of people here who do.
One of the main reasons I love and connect with Drag Race as a show is because it isn't a popularity contest. Ru picks people because of their talent, not because they had the most friends to PM. This challenge doesn't at all represent Drag Race and what it's for. I came to participate in this thread because I love a great show and now I risk having to leave because some people have more friends than me? It's just sad for those who find it hard to reach out to others like that
I was 97% sure I was going to leave but I think I'll let the week play out. I'm not going to beg total strangers to spend their time on me. For the winners - congratulations on having some friends. It must feel great for you. Some of us aren't that lucky and to be given a challenge to remind us of that feels cruel when I came here to be judged on talent. Good luck to all the contestants

Tbh, I only really have one base supporting me (hi Lambily!
), but I figured I only needed a few points because I assume that some members won't post at all (or see the thread in time
). I understand your feelings, but I think asking for just a few people to post for you should work. (Also, in regards to popularity contests, keep in mind that in the finale, Ru does ask fans to use social media to pick their fave queen, which is what I assumed this was about.)
