I HATE a talent show being the last challenge, did they not learn with AS8 that nobody wins that way?

I would imagine we lose Cynthia at Snatch Game then (I would be shocked if she makes it through) and then talent show, could be anyone surely. Maybe the comeback girl?

Totally depends on the format too, is it lipsync for your life eliminations? Seems wild if the finale is also going to be LSFTC.

All in all 8/18 making it to the finale feels a bit rotted for everyone.

Cynthia is indeed eliminated at Snatch Game, and the wildcard is Kerri so that’s an actual finalist winning lol. Not sure for certain how the wildcard comes back but I think it’s the judges who choose if earlier tea is correct, I expected them to either choose someone like Denali who might pose a threat in the Lala finale and make a mark or one of the eliminated merge queens.

Bosco also wins the talent show challenge but no word yet on who is eliminated there. Based on prior talent shows I’d think Ginger, Irene and Lydia would be in the mix but you never know with a talent show as they obviously could feasibly do a totally different act and smash it.

Someone has spilled Aja does not make top 2 through the Lala, but not who is the top 2.

Additionally it is apparently lipsync for your life for the merge, not the points system, it’s almost like the groups stage is a qualifier for the shortest All Stars ever I like that they’re doing something different but I don’t see a way in which it doesn’t come off as messy, but obviously we’ve seen none of the season so we’ll see.

Cucu going BTM4-BTM4-BTM4-ELIM 😢

The track records are giving mess!

Top of the season is….

Ginger and Jorgeous 💀

I’ll wait and see the season but this feels like they’ve wasted a bunch of amazing queens on a season where they just wanted to crown one of these two on their third/fourth time. I do love both of these two but eh

“Confident” by Demi Lovato is the Ginger vs. Jorgeous lip sync song

Congratulations Ginger - Mug4Dayz xoxo

The track record look so messy lol. Honestly I'm just here to see Irene top 2 3 weeks in a row and no bottom placements, such a redemption from her season! One of if not the best performance a first out has ever produced on an All Stars season?

It is quite predictible. But in one way given the 4 top 2s of Ginger I'm sure she's going to slay it. Plus they haven't had a big girl win before so I think this is likey going to be heavily tipped in Ginger's favour.

Mistress is the talent show elimination.

Confident is such a random top 2 lipsync, I think knowing this is so messy I’m going to lowkey not take the whole season seriously at all but then I won’t be invested and can see it feeling like a drag.

Ye, I just hope that whoever wins doesn't get cast in All Winners 2 which will likely happen in the next couple years or even be AS11.

Conspiracy theory that they eliminated Mistress for losing weight so they weren't able to hide the filming break.

This format is truly rotted.

I wonder to an extent if Ginger only agreed to come back if she was guaranteed a top 2 placement.

Season starts 9th May!

To be fair to Ginger, she is bloody good at Drag Race, I did think that she would easily make the final. I also don’t know that she is really a big enough draw or name that they would “fix” it for her, but it kind of makes me think with this “tournament” format they could/should have maybe done a season with All Stars returnees, like a “last chance” type thing. This is on paper a really good cast who feel kind of wasted on this format, the likes of Mistress, Lydia and Bosco deserve a “proper” series. But also if anyone who’s coming back from a previous All Stars deserved a redemption and a win, Aja is right there!! Of course we don’t know what went down and how it all happened so we’ll see.

I knew as soon as it was a Lala finale Ginger could easily win since she is one of the best lipsyncers the show has lowkey and doesn’t necessarily get the credit for it, she’s one of those who could pretty much do any song and that’s rare with Drag Race.

Oh no thanks… Cool format, predictable outcome.

I think they should have just committed to making the season longer and having a proper finale, a couple more merge episodes so we get down to maybe a top 4. As I’ve said we’ve not seen it, but it feels like a waste for some of these girls, a lot of whom have huge All Stars potential.

The groups stage started off well, it’s an interesting twist and kind of ends up like a qualifier for the “real” season. This could have been 6 episodes with the top 9, leading to a normal finale and maybe a huge Lala with all the eliminated queens as a way for one of them to come back rather than an arbitrary choice.

It’s nice they are doing something different for the tenth season, but AS9 was also already different. And it feels like they started off strong, ran out of steam and just speedran to the end. I can see this being a bit like AS9 where it starts off fresh and strong ish but runs out of steam.

This all sounds absolutely unhinged. I haven't read spoilers in the past — are they ever wrong? I refuse to entertain a Jorgeous and Ginger final with that stacked cast. What a waste

I'm happy to be proven wrong, but after multiple attempts — I doubt it, especially after Global All Stars

They’re never 100%, but usually it’s details like who wins a challenge or mid-season eliminations but usually the tea is just unclear on those. For example this season it was just kind of vaguely stated that Kori/Lydia/Arrietty/Lana were 6th-9th but not the exact order. Sometimes tea will be a couple of places out for mid outs. Finalists are usually the most concerte and early tea we get when a season has filmed and I can’t recall when that’s ever been wrong. Because it’s only just filmed it could be, but reliable spillers have said it so I would believe it tbh. Similarly with AS9 the first clear tea we had pretty much was the top 3 and it ended up being correct (well it actually had a top 4 with Nina, but that was her cast voted double diamond thing being conflated I assume).

The closest in recent years to it being wrong is Lala Ri was meant to be top 3 for ages on AS8, I think it was during the season airing it got spilled that she wasn’t, but obviously that was a top 2 season so I guess that doesn’t count. Season 13 Elliott also lasted an episode longer than thought I remember and everyone was kind of shook. I feel like with All Stars the tea is more concrete/detailed usually and it’s the regular seasons that can be a bit more murky.

Couple of additional bits:

One of the two times Daya and Ginger lipsync is to What Is This Feeling? by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, this apparently happens pre-merge and could have the two as guest judges or a guest appearance by video or something, it will be similar to Katy Perry in the premiere of S17 as it was filmed before the movie came out (except people went this unlike Katy). Not sure what challenge it is, Ginger wins all 3 and Daya wins 2 with her

Mistress’ talent show is a “Ruzempic” skit, Ginger does a Broadway style number and Aja dances with a machete

Episode 1-3 descriptions for group 1 reveal a little more. Episode 1 is a 80s heavy metal girl groups/Rumix type challenge, episode 2 is a whodunnit murder mystery improv, and episode 3 is a college basketball players makeover.

For All Stars 11, I hope they revert back to the format that they did for All Stars 2-4. They probably won't, but I hope they do.

Would be a good time to reset and have a 'back to basics' season for sure. But All Stars even going into eleven seasons is hilarious in itself.
