I've had a chance to meet several of the queens from past seasons (Tyra, Phi Phi, Jiggly, Morgan, Raven) and they have ALL said that the show is highly edited and often out of context. They are also told to play it up off stage while they wait for decisions, so much of the drama is forced then edited to look real. I still love this show and will continue to watch but I just have to take it with a grain of salt. I'm from Rochester and I've met Darienne before as well and chatted with her a few times and I have never seen her be as bitchy and shady as they are making her look on the show. It's disappointing, but it gets ratings and ratings keep the show on the air.
