Rooting for either Shea or Juju to win the whole thing tho.
samebut honestly i am ALL IN for Jujubee
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 7 June 2020 01:30 (four years ago) link
Shea for me but Jujubee would be absolutely great -- especially since *thinks* the only queen of Asian background to win it all has been Raja, so far. Anyway, yes, some fun changeups, and we get an Untucked with a LOT more actual behind the scenes randomness in those B&W interstitials.
Oh and Ricky Martin was a smart choice for starting judge. He was loving it.
Part of me has to wonder if the show was planning on a season-long Derrick/India thing and then whoops!
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 7 June 2020 03:09 (four years ago) link
Ricky was fantastic

Willam released his “Derrick” music video & it’s v funny & great & of course, perfectly timedhttps://youtu.be/UVKOBplS0Xg

Derrick was painful and it felt cruel to watch, like she clearly has nothing to offer and watching her flounder is just cringey
Shea and Jujubee are the only real stars here for me, Miz Cracker is also great and I was impressed with Mariah, also Blair has had QUITE a glow-up, good for her

Ongina's fears about how much tougher this competition has gotten since her season seem, at this point, well founded. Also, love seeing Alexis Mateo in the mix again.
― Dirty Epic H. (Eric H.), Sunday, 7 June 2020 21:45 (four years ago) link
Thinking about the list of LS assassins I'd like to see, imagine if they bring in SHANGELA. I'd fully expect her to go S8 Daenerys.

And Sasha shows up wearing a flower pot on her head.
― Shade Kool-Aid (Leee), Monday, 8 June 2020 20:44 (four years ago) link
Well, not Sasha last night, but Alyssa indeed. Shea pretty much owned the entire episode and made it seem easy, which is probably why we got so much Ongina meltdown and Cracker heel turn.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 13 June 2020 16:35 (four years ago) link
this season seems pretty clearly Shea's to lose, like she is just on a completely different level than everyone else. I could totally see another Manila situation where she gets sent home for being too big of a threat. That lip sync could easily slide into the GOAT canon.
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 13 June 2020 18:20 (four years ago) link

As much as Naomi saying "Life's not fair" was iconic, this is where the format fails for what the show's trying to do. But so long as it doesn't end in another tie, fine.
― Dirty Epic H. (Eric H.), Saturday, 13 June 2020 18:28 (four years ago) link
I just realized the last 2 seasons of All-Stars had the clear winners going home way too early
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 13 June 2020 18:40 (four years ago) link
Exactly. In the old-school All-Stars, Ben and Manila would be in the pantheon.
― Dirty Epic H. (Eric H.), Saturday, 13 June 2020 18:44 (four years ago) link
It's like Cracker never got over Asia saying that she's not a star -- the first opportunity that Cracker got to turn the tables, she greedily dished it out. At least she seems to have the self-awareness to know how she's coming across.
Alyssa coming in after the vote to comfort Ongina was sweet.
― Shade Kool-Aid (Leee), Saturday, 13 June 2020 20:45 (four years ago) link
Alyssa seemed kinda low enery (for her) on that lipsync? both of them were awesome though, obv. I need Alyssa’s gold boots in my lifeShea’s runway though! Jaw drop, heart stop, iconic.
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 13 June 2020 23:43 (four years ago) link
Yes, Alyssa didn't seem like her usual self. I wondered if the outfit she had on was not comfortable, or was about to fall apart. Or if she just wanted Shea to have $20,000? Not to take away from Shea, though, who was fantastic. Her runway look was timely, fashionable, and funny but dignified. And her lipsync was well worth $20,000.
― trishyb, Sunday, 14 June 2020 10:34 (four years ago) link
I do wonder tho, like what is driving the lip sync assassins? they're not competing for a prize and nothing's at stake for them
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 14 June 2020 13:51 (four years ago) link
TV exposure, brand awareness, plus theyre getting paid
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 14 June 2020 14:17 (four years ago) link
Sure, that gets them on the stage, but once they’re there they’re not really FIGHTING for anything, you know?
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 14 June 2020 18:59 (four years ago) link
hmm yeah i guess that’s true! it’d be cool if the assassin watched the whole episode backstage and then was arbitrarily given their own vote #ChaosRule

Just caught an ep of AS2 on Pluto and, man, they'll never accumulate a season with a bench of talent that deep ever gain.
― Dirty Epic H. (Eric H.), Monday, 15 June 2020 13:17 (four years ago) link
Seemed to me me like Alyssa was asked to phone it in on purpose. Shea slayed it anyway.
Sad my little Ongina couldn't find her confidence back.

Yeah biggest cast ever. Imagine if Ben had accepted the invitation and had been there instead of Coco.
AS5 in comparison does seem like Some Stars (save a few obvious superstars).

Ohhh some drama!So is Alexis gonna steal Cracker’s lunch money next week? Stuff her into a locker? She is gagging for a fight The challenge felt a bit weird & dumb but Juju was cracking me up so I am glad she won.Loved the Untucked scene between Juju, Blair & Mayhem talking about struggles with addiction & alcohol. it was v moving to see Mayhem open up to them. I like it when this show can do thatAlexis as a circus tent on the runway made me think of Beetlejuice https://i.gifer.com/2LBe.gif
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 20 June 2020 21:15 (four years ago) link
I knew when they showed not one but two people picking [redacted]'s lipstick that they were trying to build up some big-time drama about sending [redacted] home way earlier than expected. I've watched this show enough that I wasn't worried.
― Dirty Epic H. (Eric H.), Saturday, 20 June 2020 21:19 (four years ago) link
Yeah no way THAT result was going to happen. Still mildly surprised at who did go, though.

Yes, that was notable. (Mind you, I think they used every last variation of the 'sad piano music' they have for those sequences.)
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 20 June 2020 21:20 (four years ago) link
This elimination hurt, because the queen who left is so classy and wise. Like, I wish she could be my mentor!
― Learned Leeegue (Leee), Saturday, 20 June 2020 21:31 (four years ago) link
Yeah, I was not thrilled with any of the outcomes of this ep tbh, outside of Juju finally getting a main challenge win!

Sad to see Mariah go for sureBob the Drag Queen said in his recap show that he wishes these original queens like Mariah & were elevated more for making the show what it is now, for inspiring so many queens to DO drag after their seasons

You said it so I don't have to. I don't disagree with her winning week 1 but I think we've seen the full extent of her talents.

I have heard stories about my last-placer from people who've worked with her (or, rather, tried to), and her unabashedly picking you-know-who's lipstick this week was the final straw confirming what I'd heard.
― Dirty Epic H. (Eric H.), Sunday, 21 June 2020 03:53 (four years ago) link
Agree with yr top 2 for sureI dunno if Alexis is top 3 - she’s insanely talented but her taste level is her worst enemy.But, maybe she is. i dont really care at all about Blair.while I love Cracker I think she is beginning to spiral. If there is a god, she’ll pull out of the freefall & make it into top 3. But I dunno. Alexis is def hungrier. ... Mayhem feels like she coasts too much on the esteem she supposedly has in the drag world without actually living up to the talent they say she has. Or maybe tv just fucks with her head too much. India must go. Please. If there is a god

― boxedjoy, Sunday, 21 June 2020 07:25 (four years ago) link
Jujubee is funnier, but I think that's the only area where anyone beats Shea.
I actively dislike Cracker at this stage. She is so me-me-me that I just can't stand it. Instead of concentrating on the challenge, all she does is concentrate on how she's coming across in the challenge.
― trishyb, Sunday, 21 June 2020 16:25 (four years ago) link
I can see that. I personally find her neurosis relatable & give her more rope because of it. She’s SO funny to me though as a performer.
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 21 June 2020 17:26 (four years ago) link
y'all this lip sync was SO bland, I could not believe how bland it was!!!! It felt like neither of them were trying and I definitely wondered if Juju was losing on purpose so she didn't have to be the bad guy who sent someone home, like that's how lifeless it was
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 21 June 2020 17:50 (four years ago) link
