This show has been wedged to air in between RuPaul's Drag Race Season 15 and RuPaul's Drag Race Untucked, hoping for fans of that show to be too lazy to switch channels.
In turn, it also shortened the air time of Drag Race to 60 minutes with commercials instead of 90, making it appear much more heavily edited and forced.
Real Friends of WeHo disguised itself as queer representation, however it does nothing to earn it. In fact, to even exists, it cuts of half an hour of already existing acclaimed queer representation, which was, quite frankly, the worst decision MTV could have made.
This show might have stood a chance if it wasn't a pure cash grab and made to "redeem" Todrick Hall, who came under scrutiny for not paying his employees and much more.
If you want to make room for queer representation, actually make room for it. Don't take away the representation that already exists. Put your heart and soul into it and don't produce an ego boost of people who should need some time away from the spotlight.
Actually give queer people shows they want to see. Then maybe you'll get the ratings YOU want to see, MTV.
Don't force feed us trash and expect us to say thank you. Especially after peeing into our soup beforehand as well.
Give us back the normal length of Drag Race, find more space for queer shows at other times, and produce something worthwhile. Maybe that way you'll find success.
But this ain't it.
