I didn't realise they were being paid a fee too! Seems a bit of a slap in the face to all those that have done All Stars before them (particularly with this being one of the most limp casts to date) for charity or not, they could have added that element to any previous season.

I'm not sure if it was spoilers but Naysha revealed it at Roscoes the one that released just this week so it's out in the open now |

Angeria was robbed robbed, I also thought that would have been a good storyline lipsync since Gottmik blocked her last week and those two would both be lipsyncing to be the first to win the challenge twice. Plus Angie going from the S14 SG disaster to winning!
I found Nina’s to just be DeLa’s Paul Lynde but less curated and defined. It was exactly what you expect when you see Nina is doing Liberace, but still funny. Whoever decided on a sexy Anitta song for a challenge Nina West could very well win has some explaining to do, I guess maybe Anitta could only do this episode timing wise idk but they could have still swapped the Ball and Snatch Game round in that case? Idk why the queens went mad for Nina’s lipsync, it was messy and you can tell she just knew she couldn’t lipsync so had that ready thinking 18 reveals to basically nothing was enough. WIN Angeria (she’d have beat Gottmik in that lipsync I feel) TOP Gottmik HIGH Nina and honestly I’d maybe go Jorgeous, kind of terrible but hysterical anyway or Shannel but she didn’t go far enough For me, Plastique was easily the worst. Her runway was again amazing but I’m still sick of certain fans acting like she’s the best queen ever on the show because she has great runways. |

Just watched the episode and my god that was painful to watch Nina lip-syncing. Those reveals were... not it and she was just jumping around like she had no idea where she was.
Plastique really stumbled oop her runways are her saving grace at this point because I can't imagine Snatch Game is the only thing she's not going to shy away from. A roast? Another improv comedy challenge? Definitely not up her street. |

The Trevor Project is going to owe the Palette Fund money by the end of Nina’s reign of terror on that stage

The comments on Twitter about Nina having worn that dress every episode meaning she was just gonna do those 536 reveals no matter what the song ended up being

Really enjoying the season so far. Early favourites are Angeria (), Plastique & Gotmik. Although really like all the queesns so far.
I was hoping we would see a glow up from Nina outift/fashion-wise, but so far that doesn't seem to be the case. In fact her dress she made and the lip sync reveal are perhaps the worst things she's worn on stage... |

Not sure I agree with Gotmikk winning this week. In my opinion Nina won Snatch Game and the lip sync
I was initially seeing Nina/Roxxy as the main competition but glad to see Gotmikk and Angeria doing well |

I think Rupaul just didn’t like Nina’s ‘dresses’ (along with the fact that she already wore the lip sync dress on stage before so it wasn’t a surprise) and that was the deciding factor. Plus she wasn’t really trying to serve Anitta realness.

I thought Snatch Game was dreadful and highlighted why this series isn’t going to work with no eliminations. Vanjie, Plastique and Jorgeous barely even tried? And we wound up with half of the characters not even being real and just imaginations of what they’d be. Which is what Snatch Game has sadly become.

The first quartet was definitely flat
Had I not known who the top 2 in the challenge were I would have been very concerned at that point I also think this format puts a target on the heads of certain queens (Nina, Roxxy, Angeria) as it’s not really a level playing field. I was surprised Jorgeous was blocked! |

Do the queens have 100% say in who they choose to block? Because f*** me if any of them think Jorgeous is a genuine threat and that’s not just production trying to portray her as one…

Definitely not the best cast for a non elimination season, already getting bored of some of them 3 episodes in.
Gottmik has definitely been the most consistent for me so far, Also think Plastique killed the first 2 weeks. I expected more from Roxxxy and Vanjie but they just seem to be sailing by so far. Shannel I love but she’s barely getting any airtime. Angeria is great personality wise but lacking in some other areas Nina and Jorgeous I just can’t get into at all, although Nina was great in the snatch game but her looks and the lip sync all been terrible |

I guess because it’s just been comedy and design, they might think it could be another performance challenge which she could win tbf, I think when they get the scissors and have to decide who to block they probably overthink what challenge it might be based on what’s been done so far, but really if it was me, I’d block say Angeria or Roxxxy or Mik who could do well in a few types of challenge. I also think it would be strategic if they knew what challenge was coming up and could block based on that, that would make the blockings more of a thing rather than just something at the end for after the lipsync. It’s not that deep since it’s non elim but I feel like that would bring a bit more drama to that last little bit of the episode.

This is a sidenote but I absolutely love the name Ruby Snippers, it's probably the campest thing Drag Race (US) has come up with in years

Never thought I’d be saying this but Plastique was robbed BLIND. I think Roxxxy/Vanjie would have won a normal makeover with Valerie but Plastique and Jorgeous’ makeover had the whole package when you look at everything that the challenge warranted in this instance!
You can tell Roxxxy and Plastique respectively were the driving forces of their makeovers, so I feel like they could have been the top 2 as Roxxxy/Vanjie’s makeover was great too. I couldn’t deprive myself of Roxxxy killing it to one of my all time fave songs either, a blessing tbh x |
