Arrietty and Irene have majorly fallen out seemingly over $50 and Arrietty has accused Irene of being a nonce and then rescinded it saying she just likes young looking twinks, as if it’s ok to “joke” about allegations that are that serious?!

That was wild. Arietty then deleted all the tweets and tried to cover her tracks again.... Arietty could've just said they fell out over money and leave it at that.

So excited for this bracket, going to be a mess! *_*

Oh Tina ATEEEE, to make all of that in a design challenge like this where you just have 8 random things is absolutely insane, it was so well constructed and so clean.

I agreed with Lydia top as well, this was a perfect challenge for her brand and she more than redeemed herself for her past design challenges. It was so perfectly her without being tired or formulaic or already done. Mistress on the other hand while it was great, I feel like we’ve seen that from her, it didn’t wow and excite me. Lydia also ate up the lipsync but wbk on that front x

Tina ate that up! I never knew she had that in her *_*

I agree with Lydia top as well. Mistress was a close 3rd.

Speaking of Mistress she's so messy already

Really liking the format still for the 2nd bracket!

Jorgeous was 3rd for me if anything tbh, her and Mistress both did solidly but I think Jorgeous proportionised better and knows what works for her body. Mistress was always such a great fashion girl and knew what works for her body but I didn’t see that so much here, it wasn’t that flattering and I don’t remember thinking that all across all her outfits on season 15.

It seems crazy to say but Tina crushed that design challenge. I didnt like a single thing she did on her original season so great to see her doing well. I agree with Lydia being top two also but I actually enjoyed all the outfits apart from Nicole’s.

I’m shocked how well this bracket style format is working, it feels like we’re getting three mini all stars seasons. I still think the merge will be a mess but happy to be proven wrong again.

It was so funny when Nicole was touching her hair after the judges said it needed to be bigger lol at least Phoenix tried! Let’s see next week but that entrance outfit from her was horrendous, I’m not sure she even watched any of the recent seasons. Same with not being able to sew until a week before the filming.

Lydia ate this (except the green part could’ve been excluded without any issues), agree with the top 2. I wonder if the roast challenge was made for the Lydia bracket on purpose lol

Probably my favourite episode so far! The drama at the start, omg. I felt so bad for Nicole & Kerri.

For the challenge I thought every queen did well, inlcuding Nicole! Honestly, I think anyone could've been top 2 - the runway was likely a deciding factor (+ Ru's favourtism towards MIB/Jorgeous lol).

I don't think the lip sync between MIB & Jorgeous was a tie. Personally I thought Mistress embodied the song better. I don't really like the half point each as it kinda takes away some of the competitive edge. It's pretty much almost guarenteed MIB & Jorgeous will be going through now regardless of how well they do next week mathematically speaking. If neither are top 2 they give each other a point giving them 5.5 points each. If Lydia & Tina are top 2 then Lydia is the 3rd person if she wins the lip sync. If Tina wins then you'll have MIB/Jorgeous on 5.5 points with Lydia & Tina on 5. Nicole & Kerri will need to give their points to both Lydia and Tina to prevent both MIB & Jorgeous going through. Sorry to do math but the half point really f***s with things from a drama perspective. It's pretty much going to be MIB, Jorgeous + either Lydia or Tina. Shame what happened at the start of the episode - had the points been distrubted evenly then things would've been a lot more interesting/competitive.

The way Lydia is almost completely eating these girls up after being locked on that set for however long now

It’s actually crazy how f***ing good Lydia is coming back 5 minutes after her actual season!! This is the kind of glow up that some queens don’t even have after years of honing their craft. All it took was that roast win on her season and I think she fully believed in herself and the world is her oyster.

Episode 3 of this bracket was possibly the best episode since DeLa tippexing her own name onto the lipstick!!

The drama was iconic and I actually agree with Mistress and Jorgeous playing the game, it’s reality TV!! Mistress has given iconic TV. And Kerri especially can’t really be mad when she gave nothing for the first two eoaides, didn’t even read anyone in her rap roast, and then just did decently in one challenge. I don’t think they should rely on MVQ points and just phone In the challenges. It would have been kind of iconic if Mistress backfired and didn’t make the merge but it’s still narratively iconic that her play paid off and she made it because of that first episode’s gaming. That bracket was classic All Stars, excellent TV, high tier drag. We need Jorgeous, Mistress,Lydia and Nicole on every season tbh

The less said about the choice of lipsync the better but Jorgeous ate.

Mistress dragging Kerri was very uncalled for even if it’s amazing TV. She’s not been a “fake bitch” a single time this season especially this episode. I guess it’s Mistress’ brand and a tv show so it makes sense for her game but we are kind of stooping a bit low here.

I was fully expecting Kerri to be top 2 but so glad Lydia came through.

Jorgeous ate this bracket and I’m honestly shocked, although these challenges have probably been made with her and Lydia in mind so it’s not a shock they went through.

I don't want to discredit Jorgeous too much because she's obviously performed well — I just don't feel like she's served me anything more than what she did last year (I remain unbothered by her lip syncing oops)

This season, and especially this bracket, is easily the best All Stars season since All Stars 2 though. These queens have all shone perfectly in different ways — I need NPBFAG in every season going forward pls

I’d lowkey have Jorgeous on every season tbh she is just so good at what she does and so charismatic, but I understand as she was at the top of her game last time, to the point where whilst I agreed with Angie winning, she could have won just as easily as her or Roxxxy could have, there isn’t any room for her to have an upwards trajectory.

Absolutely not... I would never watch again if she was on every season.

A little disappointed in the epsiode. I thought Kerri should've been top 2! Jorgeous' lip syncs also bore me - yes she can dance/move/perform but it feels like the same moves and hardly any sort of emoting.

Would've been interesting if Kerri was top 2 and won the lip sync. Mistress knew she was getting through no matter what as all she had to do was not give Kerri a point. Had Kerri been top 2 & won the lip sync it would be Jorgeous 6.5, Kerri 5, Mistress 4.5, Lydia 4. And could've been all up in the air who would get through except Jorgeous based on how the voting went *_*

Genuinely I don't get Jorgeous. She's an ok dancer. No emotion in that face and she doesn't seem to have much going on upstairs. She's too young for me to find her attractive out of drag. Her outfits are lazy and generally her approach to anything but dancing seems lazy as well.

The top 2 in the roast challenge is egregious to me when she herself admitted to not writing any of her lines and paying someone else to do it for her.

Seeing Kerri do so well in the last challenge makes me worry that a lot of these girls are being wasted by this format. I’d love to see any of the eliminated girls come back for another All-Stars, time permitting.

Possibly my favourite episode so far? Everyone did well in the challenge!! Honestly I could have seen Cynthia top 2 if they judged individually - really surprised me!

Ginger & Daya top 2 the right call and can I say... THAT LIP SYNC!!! Urgh. Best lip sync of the season so far. Whilst Daya did great, Ginger was just on another level - the facial expressions, body language, so much NUANCE! Ginger rightly winning the lip sync and showing everyone why she's back again

Just finished catching up with the season after some major Drag Race fatigue at the end of season 17

Bracket 1 was amazing to watch. Bosco, ugh I love her so much. I'm really glad we're getting to see what Irene's capable of too because it was evident in season 15 that it was all there and she just didn't get a chance to show any of it. Was good to see Phoenix again but clearly she was never going to get through lmao.

Bracket 2... yeah no thanks. I'm really not getting the love for Jorgeous. I seem to have gone in the opposite direction to everyone else having enjoyed her a lot in season 14, less so in AS9 and now just nah. Especially that lip-sync to TEXAS HOLD 'EM. I don't know what it is but she just has no emotional connection to anything she's dancing to no matter how technically good her dancing actually is. But Ru's got such a boner for her so she's going to be here right to the end for sure.

Mistress was great in season 15 but I'm just rolling my eyes at this point. I don't think I'd have had her in the top for any of the challenges. Tina should've gone through instead (really appreciated the glow-up she's had!) but sadly we were in a position where it was KERRI COLBY (?!) potentially going through instead of Mistress, lolwut i- NPB was giving me everything though x

Bracket 3 seems wholesome enough so far. So happy to see Denali back (where was the win this week thank you please?) as well as Alyssa but she is absolutely not getting through here lol. Acid Betty already seems a lot more chilled/likeable than she was in season 8 too so looking forward to more from her over the next two weeks.

That episode was an absolute chore — Tina has more chemistry with her shoulders than this bracket. I hate design challenges that are less about design and more about the hokey voiceover. Boot!

Ginger is going to steamroll these girls without presenting anything new or elevated — she gets the show. The other girls, other than Daya, are either charisma vacuums or just terrible at Drag Race.

I can't do it girlies! I can't do another Ginger season!

Bring back NPG!
