I loved the idea behind the challenge but I don’t think it was executed as well as it could be. It felt very stop and start not having them flow into each other like Divas Live. Jan and Trinity were the definite top 2 and while Trinity absolutely bodied her performance I think Jam slipped ahead when combined with the runway. I’m assuming she was going with a Britney’s a robot schtick for her lipsync? It wasn’t very clear but then maybe they downplayed it with all the recent Britney media coverage…who knows? Absolute delight seeing Jessica Wild back but at the same time what an odd choice? She lost her only pervious lipsync and it was hardly a stellar performance this week… Still, Jessica Wild for AS7 please! Still feels like quite an open contest at this point…I’m sure Eureka’s due a win at some point soon, Kylie as well considering they seem quite invested in her. Pandora I can see going either way but wouldn’t be shocked at a run similar to S2 in that she goes far but never wins. It’s a shame seeing Scarlet do so well but never getting the praise for doing so. Ginger on the other hand feels like such a wasted slot, how she escaped the bottom this week I’ll never know. Season 7 was her only chance at the crown imo, without the abundance of acting challenges and older vs younger storyline to fuel her she’s just a rather meh competitor.

It was an absolute joy see Laganja back, she came in with such confidence and presence, it’s a shame she won’t come back as I think she would body an All Stars! I’m not sad to see Silky go but it’s a shame how restrained and self conscious she was. A disappointing reflection on darker side of the fandom. Was nice to see Trinity win but I can’t fully root for her and I don’t know why. It’s almost like she’s too self aware maybe…

Not only a random song but such a waste of Coco as lipsync assassin, they could have picked so much better!

I love that there’s no obvious winner here, I honestly have no idea who could win. If Scarlet gets a fair show though I could see her pull it off and I’d be so here for it, was cut far too early back in season 11.

Damn that’s a stacked cast, should be a very exciting season hopefully!! Looking forward to see Scarlet Envy, Trinity, Kylie, Eureka and Pandora the most I think, Ra’jah too it she’s toned down the hatefulness. Serena Cha Cha is probably the most out there casting yet on an All Stars so I really hope she’s not the obvious first out, it would be disappointing not to see her growth. Always great to see more Jan but I hope she’s not a season or 2 too early, if it’s another run like season 12 it will be frustrating as she deserves to slay! Tbh I other than Pandora the re-returners are those I’m least excited for but I’m sure they will do well. Silky is a choice as well and if she agreed with her portrayal the first time around it’s gonna be a chore watching her again.

Haha fair enough I guess, I still can’t get over how small the workroom looks! I guess it is only season one but it does feel very budget compared to US/U.K./Canada. I’m assuming it’s not a big network that picked it up considering the small prize total?

Kinda of meh on it so far, it just all felt a little low budget to me, especially the workroom which looked so small and pretty fake IMO. Also was it just me or was the camera really zoomed in? It was really throwing me off at times... As for the queens no real major opinions but it does feel very cliquey already. I did feel bad for Electra as much as that wig was awful so glad she got her moment in the mini and the lipsync, hope she can step it up. Art Simone definitely should have won, both her looks were top of the night for me where as Karen’s were nothing amazing for me. Also really enjoying Etc Etc so far, would have liked to see her get some feedback on her outfits. I did really enjoy Rhys as a judge, thought he fitted in really well! I do think the panel missed a fourth person though, hopefully just a one week thing.

01: Gottmik (Best all rounder imo) 02: Tamisha Iman (When she comes back and slays All Stars she’s gonna be one of my fave queens ever) 03: Denali (#justicefordenali) 04: Utica Queen (The real lipsync assassin of the season) 05: Symone (Deserving winner and fierce af but got a bit whiny near the end) 06: Rosé (Unstoppable once she hires a stylist and learns how to lip sync) 07: Tina Burner (I think I’d have really been rooting for her if it wasn’t for the winners circle and the mean girls. Outside of that she was really enjoyable!) 08: Elliott With 2 T’s (She never stood a chance the way the show treated her, was sad seeing her give up at the end) 09: Kahmora Hall (Would have loved to seen more of her fashion, think the runway missed her presence) 10: LaLa Ri (Great personality but her lipsyncs are a tad over rated imo. Also her bag look was somehow not the worst look of the season?!) 11: Joey Jay (Her drag style wasn’t my favourite but she was fun; if not basic) 12: Olivia Lux (Needs to develop a personality that’s not just being nice but so much potential) 13: Kandy Muse (Shoulda been sent home like 6 times)

I just got round to watching the finale lipsyncs my god were they awful bar Symone who was passable. Should have been a quadruple sashay away and just cancel the season IMO. Also Rosé needs to hire a stylist as 90% of her outfits are awful and Kandy has to be the most lacklustre lipsync assassin ever, six wins based on those performances? She lucky Denali didn’t come along and straight up murder her ass. I get COVID played a part but they should have stuck with the format they used last year. Yes it wasn’t the most exciting but it gave 2 great, creative videos from Gigi and Crystal along with Jaida being fierce as f***. This final 4 had some potential but my god did they blow it. Also conspiracy theory, they chose a Britney finale after seeing Rosé bomb her IYSA lip sync back in episode 3. Safest way to keep her from the crown.

I couldn’t even be bothered watching the finale and I’m glad I didn’t. Kandy being runner up when there are so many more talented queens out there is just a joke! Happy for Symone though, don’t think she was my pick in the end but very deserving and worthy!

01: Gottmik (1-X-6-2-8-7-3-1-3-5-2-2-1) 02: Rosé (X-4-5-5-7-3-2-3-4-2-1-1-2) 03: Symone (3-X-1-6-6-1-6-2-1-1-4-3-3) 04: Kandy Muse (7-X-13-12-11-10-9-9-8-7-6-5-4) OUT: Olivia Lux (2-X-7-8-2-8-8-8-7-6-5-4-X) Utica Queen (X-2-4-1-3-6-4-5-2-3-3-X) Tina Burner (5-X-12-11-10-5-5-6-6-4-X) Denali (X-3-3-3-4-2-1-4-5-X) Elliott With 2 T’s (6-X-10-7-5-4-7-7-X) Lala Ri (4-X-11-9-8-9-X) Tamisha Iman (X-1-2-4-1-X) Joey Jay (X-5-8-10-X) Kahmora Hall (X-6-9-X)

What a pointless episode...there was an obvious top three there to the extent Kandy looks amateurish next to them so it just feels absolute nonsense she’s in the finale but whatever I guess. Challenge wise I really enjoyed the music video, it felt so different to Ru songs we had before which was really refreshing. All the girls have decent verses though Gotmik and Rose were definitely my favourite in that regard. As for runways Kandy’s was good for her...anything would be an improvement on that abomination last week though. I think Symone had my favourite look this week, she looked stunning in it! It’s a shame, I feel this should be an exciting three way race for the crown but after such a long, over produced season I’m struggling to care. I don’t even know who I want to win tbh. Roll on All Stars 6, that’s all I can say.

01: Rosé (X-4-5-5-7-3-2-3-4-2-1-1) 02: Gottmik (1-X-6-2-8-7-3-1-3-5-2-2) 03: Symone (3-X-1-6-6-1-6-2-1-1-4-3) 04: Olivia Lux (2-X-7-8-2-8-8-8-7-6-5-4) 05: Kandy Muse (7-X-13-12-11-10-9-9-8-7-6-5)

Fully expecting Olivia to go home this week and normally I’d be happy with that outcome but it’s nonsense Kandy’s going to outlast someone else. Also surprised this isn’t the RuPaul verse challenge which I’m assuming is next week. Does that mean we’re getting a final 3? Surely they’re not actually going to have another non elimination episode.
