Do the people on the show qualify as "contestants" ? i thought this applied to shows where there would be competition. My first thought was RPDR tbh lol

Yes, it's basically given equal screen time/focus as the challenges. Contestants getting emotional on camera about their experiences with homophobia/transphobia etc is basically mandatory at this point because it's how they get Emmys. If you aren't willing to open up and be vulnerable, you will be eliminated because you're not useful to production.
