Ep 2: I would have chosen Roxxxy over Mik for the top 2. Roxxxy would have killed “Jump in the Line”.

First two episodes have been pretty entertaining. Werkroom energy is great. Top 2 for the ball were exquisite, but wtf was that lip sync song choice?

Also, Plastique in e1 was robbed. I also would've put Vanjie, but the lip sync winner was correct.

Ep 2 Plastique's looks were loving amazing. Also Gottmik gets a boost in the lip sync for looking like she belongs in Beetlejuice

That was my thought too, but what a bummer of a duo to get that song for a lip sync. I would have loved someone to really lean into that association!

I wasn't a fan of Plastique on her season and haven't followed anything she's done since so from an unbiased POV I can say she easily won both of these challenges. I hate how nice the judges are in their critiques for a non-elimination season, especially one that isn't All Winners. Some of those looks in the ball were awful.

That has got to be one of the top 5 looks ever created on the show.

I loved Plastique in her original season, and she's absolutely killing it here. I think she should have been one of the winning two for episode 1 as well.

EP 2: Ugh. Again? Ru loves Gottmik and is trying her damnedest to rig the show in her favor! I noticed the camera panned to her face in the dance challenge last episode and in this one, Ru gave a song meant for Mik's aesthetic and STILL she gave low-energy flailing. Plastique deserved the win, esp' for the backbends.

Apparently, according to the other queens, Plastique had work done on her face, but drat. It's GOOD work, considering I can't tell what exactly it was and it all equals out to perfection as both sexes.

It's not even Gottmik's fault but production is soooo heavy handed at this it's driving me nuts. Now that the design challenge is out of the way she has her production desired win hopefully it won't be so weird. Got this bad feeling that they're gonna just pass over Shannel for a lot of things because her outfit was amazing?? But they (Ross, the worst judge for the past I dunno, 10 seasons) had to find a nitpick so she won't be included in top 2.

they often have their own unique ways of “painting” (doing their makeup) or “padding” (creating a feminine figure), and are always dressed to impress in bold colors, sequins, and mile-high wigs. They already look like video game characters, and they’d be instantaneously recognizable in a fighting game lineup. Plus they are notoriously catty, frequently “reading” (dissing) each other and throwing barbs about each other’s style, personality, or “mugs” (faces).

I thought Drag Race was supposed to be popular now...

But with that bad Snatch Game, I don't blame them for not getting stronger guest judges

Edit: Shannel was outshone twice in one episode. First in the double Liberace, second in the double Scorpion looks on the runway. Her tail couldn't even stand up on its own like Vanjie's.

gottmik seems like she took lipsync lessons and she’s at least serviceable now but honestly I don’t think anyone else on this roster is capable of a lipsync worse than what nina was keeping in the chamber for three episodes

hi
I'm enjoying this AS9 far more than I thought I would when the cast was revealed. Yeah the lipsyncs have been bad, but the other bits have been very enjoyable. I'm very happy to see Gottmeek doing so well, having watched him on No Gorge I just get the impression he's a goofy fashion nerd/party kid, but it's great to see there's actual talent to back that up.
It's also weird with Vanessa, as soon as she's on the screen I'm like "oh she's hilarious! Love her!" and as soon as she's off the screen I'm like "she's so annoying! God!"

Raven in a porno mustache awakened secret things within me.

its incredibly funny to me that they gave everyone else a "what would your weed edible be called" question and they skipped jorgeous. I'm imagining her losing her mind going "this is the moment I've been waiting for my entire life"

I also love that Vangie was just like "yeah I'm gonna do cleopatra, no I'm not gonna learn poo poo about her for it i got this headpiece" and kind of just coasts through on her charisma.

She did that carpet reveal. I can't tell if she's secretly smart, and actually did that intentionally, or if she is as dumb as she seems to be, and just happened to get completely lucky and referenced a famous Cleopatra story without realizing it.

Anyway, there's nobody to root for this season.

coming to a carpet completely coincidentally is extremely unlikely, they show it in the liz taylor movie and it would otherwise be an absolute non sequitur

vanjie is definitely smarter than she lets on, if nothing else she’s a genius at establishing her brand

God you're in for a treat. Season 5 is one of the strongest seasons.

Alyssa is a wonderful talking head. Detox is an immensely talented queen. And Allaska was described as a dour sphinx cat wearing a pair of panties.

And you gotta watch the untucked just for how weird alyssa edwards is.

The Lil Poundcake episode is one of the best of all time for the series.

So is Float Your Boat and the John Waters episode.

She stood no chance of winning with her terrible Snatch Game, but holy poo poo, that kitsune look Plastique had was perfect.

For that matter, so were Gottmik's look and Angeria's. This season the runways are impeccable. << For some at least.
