“Saddest displays of poor sportsmanship” — RuPaul’s Drag Race fans react to Arrietty going home 

Even though Arrietty was eliminated from RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 last week, the turmoil surrounding her departure persisted into this week. Fans are still not over with her elimination and have been flooding social media with all sorts of opinions. Her exit provoked strong reactions, and even though the show faces another elimination this week, Arrietty is still on viewers' hit list.

After an unimpressive performance in episode 10 and a not-so-impressive lip-sync, Arrietty was asked to pack her bags and go back home. As she struggled during her last challenge, despite being at her best self, she ended up in an emotional breakdown when it was time to sashay away. From visible disappointment to dismissive remarks, her exit surely left many unhappy.

After a week of continuous discussion of last week's brutal elimination, social media has been buzzing with the audience talking about whether she deserved to go or whether her journey ended soon. While some blamed it on the other queens, many questioned her aura on the show.

An admirer of RuPaul's Drag Race posted on Reddit,

"Arriety’s exit has got to be one of the saddest displays of poor sportsmanship I’ve ever seen on the show. Coming after Onya for a health condition is a low blow and I’m glad she went home. Onya for the win!"

Another fan wrote,

"And to Arriety, I will never send hate online or judge an artist for what she, as a character, did during a season. But girl, good luck after this one, because you gave REAL reasons for people (and coworkers) to dislike you."

"I was really trying to see where Arrietty was coming from during last episode’s Untucked, but after finding out the real story behind the mirror message, I can’t respect that. That’s just messed up," read another comment.

More people questioned Arrietty's choice of words for her last speech.

A fan shared, "Arriety is a bad person. I hope she gets the help she needs. What if someone had written, “from one former fatty to another, lose some weight” on the mirror? How would she react?"

"So Arriety's message wasn't just a shady message but an actual dig at Onya's health problem. SO GLAD she went home," another Reddit user posted.

Arrietty's last speech on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 left fans disappointed

Arrietty’s last moments on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 17, Episode 10, sat poorly with fans. No sentimental send-off for her; hers was a bitter and ungracious speech many viewers found hard to believe. Instead of congratulating her fellow queens, she felt her elimination was unjustified and apparently let her anger over that decision be known. Her attitude and tone left fans feeling her sportsmanship was lacking.

Most RuPaul's Drag Race contestants leave on a high note, accepting the experience with grace, but Arrietty’s exit was a different story. Fans took to social media to blast her speech as one of the most disappointing in recent seasons.
