they're just heightened versions of the worst parts of themselves on TV, they're not REALLY bad people  (but as TV show antagonists they were characters I loved to be made at!)

I can't even remember the last time they did a dinner with Ru. They usually just do What's The Tee? now, don't they?

I have always thought Thorgy was insufferable but Thorgy in the finale was the only one who voted for the two who made the most sense (Shangela and Trixie). And I do think she did get kinda hosed over in the Stevie Nicks thing tbh. I've decided to rewatch AS2 between now and S10. I forgot how mad it makes me that Roxxy gets loving carried through. Wins episode 1, is safe once, and is in the bottom LITERALLY EVERY OTHER EPISODE come on now, go home.

Moving on - are we getting a new thread for season 10? Is someone going to do that?

I'm still confused about the AS3 thread OP being mostly about season 9 and not AS2 so tbh we should just rollover the thread, especially with it just starting next week. Though I think OP said they'll make a fresh season 10 one so idk!

The way Shangela constantly tries to stir the poo poo and then plays the victim is loving aggravating, I laughed very loudly for a good 30 seconds when Kennedy took her spot (it was really hosed up and probably will cause more trouble than it was worth though). Everyone seems upset about the finale being rigged etc but All Stars always has bullshit gimmicks to replace the novelty of getting to know new performers I suppose. Re: S10, based on early impressions I'm really hoping for Monet X Change to win, I think Miz Cracker and Monet are both going to do very well in the competition. I also really like Dusty Ray Bottoms, but I think she might be too relaxed to really snatch the crown, potential congeniality pick maybe (...Yes, as you can tell from this opinion, I am a massive New York Drag™ proponent, give me bright colours and comedy).

tbh I think the AS2 formula was perfect. Having the top two of the week LSFYL and remove one of the bottoms is a great idea, though it can end up a little boring ala dragging Roxxxy as far as they did, but I like the idea of that part of the show being different from a normal season. Adding another twist on top of it was a bit much though. Should have just come up with a new format entirely and gagged the girls with that, but that would require more effort I guess. I love how many of the queens are backtracking now and saying after seeing the show as aired they would have voted for Shangela, and their intitial decisions were based on what little knowledge they had from when they were still competing + the finalist speeches. I feel bad for Kennedy! Also all the queens saying they voted for the girls who 'need it most' and that 'Shangela is successful outside the show so she'll be fine'. If they were voting based off of who needs it most wouldn't it have been Kennedy v Bebe or Kennedy v Shangela? Trixie is basically way more popular than any RPDR queen period right now. If it was a matter of who needs the crown most she'd be at the bottom of the list. Girls should just say they're sticking with the decision they made instead of trying to backtrack for whatever reason, it's kind of a bad look and seems kind of lovely toward Kennedy, who is already getting enough hate for 'stealing' Shangela's spot when she had no control over it.

Her drag can range from "meh" to "heh, ok". I kind of enjoy her sardonic sense of humor, even if it can easily be taken the wrong way. Her response to being eliminated is pretty much the quote of the season. I feel like her massive dreads are really limiting what she can do visually. She either wears huge ugly wigs, or a more normal wig with a hat attached that presumably has some sort of compartment to stuff them in. Her finale look was pretty good example of the latter, though.

I love Thorgy being the only one to vote for the actual top 2, and I love her reaction to Shangela hitting the runway in that gown mirroring my own, but my opinion of her hasn't really changed. She's like the definition of a middle of the road Ru Girl to me. I like her but I don't love her, and I think she's pretty grating on the show but eh. Her reaction to her elim was so good tho.

Thorgys drag is ugly and bad and her personality is grating. She's too obnoxious and has zero charisma or likeability to make up for it

Nihonniboku posted:Yes, Shangela was robbed. Once Ben dropped out, that was Shangela's crown for the taking. I'm not sure Kennedy was robbed, though. She should have been sent home long ago, and her nonstop spinning on that final lip sync was further proof that she didn't deserve the crown. It was very reminiscent of the Latrice & Kenya lip sync, Kennedy just had absolutely zero understanding of self-awareness in terms of the song. And the way she pulled her wig back so tight, matching the wig color with her makeup color made her look bald. Nihonniboku posted:Trixie won because of the combination of being a fan favorite, and the fact that people don't really like Kennedy. No matter the pity party that Kennedy threw for herself, winning the crown was never going to suddenly make her more appealing. Ru knows that. Here is some real talk. Kennedy is very good at drag, and a great dancer/performer but she just does not have "IT". Kennedy at her very best gets a meh out of me. She crushed her steps in Kitty Girl and it was just oh yeah there's Kennedy doing her thing. Put Shangela on that same stage and sure the dance steps aren't as technical but that bitch WORKS and leaves you wanting more. Kennedy's drag is just a little too safe, a little too outdated, a little too off from perfect to be crowned an Allstar. Also her whole strategy ended up being begging for the crown instead of proving she deserved it, not really the best look to present to the jury. Shangela should have won but clearly having to do the jury interview rattled her. At least it wasn't downright embarrassing and cringe-inducing to watch like Bebe's. I don't care if Thorgy was the only one to vote correctly, she is absolutely terrible. What a lovely finale. The jury interviews alone should have been an hour long.

Also her whole strategy ended up being begging for the crown instead of proving she deserved it, not really the best look to present to the jury. I think Kennedy's problem is her drag's lack of a character. She's extremely capable in nearly every category, performance-wise: dancing, singing, bringing glamour, even acting. But she doesn't really have a persona, on top of her already mellow personality. Popular queens are generally strong characters (e.g. Katya, Trixia, Jinkx, Dela), have strong enough personalities that they're already a character (e.g. Bianca, Latrice, Adore, Bob), or are somewhere in between (e.g. Alaska, Shangela). This is similar to how I felt about Shea, who was technically proficient, but seemed to lack an "it"-factor. The other winners who don't really fall into these categories tend to be recognized for one primary thing, like fashion (Raja, Violet) or unique aesthetics (Sharon, Sasha). Honestly, it feels like being multi-talented is only important as a means of avoiding elimination. To really win, either the crown or a following, you need to stand out through personality or specialization.

Exactly - Kennedy is capable. She does her job competently and she knows what she's doing. But there's no extra edge to it, nothing that makes me sit up and go "huh that's interesting" like Trixie and Ben's humor, or Shangela's general sense of going balls-out in everything. That being said sometimes Kennedy says bitter old bitch things that resonate with me

That said, Kennedy's also very genuine and real. Her interactions with queens and talking heads felt very honest, and I never feel like she's being fake. Maybe she's so real, she can't put up an entertaining enough front. vv

Kennedy is not a very exciting TV personality. Drag Race is not drag reality, though, and I'm sure her live performances are amazing. I think that's the worst thing about RPDR. For a lot of people, RPDR is their only or main experience with drag and they tend to think drag doesn't exist outside of it when in fact Drag Race is a small "mainstream" slice and those reality show dynamics mostly don't exist in real life. For example, Christeene is amazing but totally not the type that would go on Drag Race or even Dragula. very  because it's fuckin Christeene: https://vimeo.com/channels/christeene

I don't really see the pity party speech thing some people are talking about with Kennedy. It just seemed like she was being honest and basically saying what most people are already saying and thinking. She needs this way more. I don't think she should have the crown or that she should have lipsynced over Shangela because something I can't put my finger on is just lacking for Drag Race but drat. She didn't even get her redemption because just like last time around she is seen as someone who basically stole a spot from someone else. When I heard that she is always overlooked at shows and fans only approach her as an afterthought or because the lines are too long for the other queens I got really sad. She is one of the best performers of the show and definitively in my top 5 of queens I would want to see live. I'm pretty bummed that I didn't get to see Shangela's children's birthday party entertainer act though. Even if it would have utterly failed it would have made that lackluster lipsynch entertaining. i also kind of feel like that song was a bad choice and miiiight have been skewed in Trixie's favor because she would most likely have been scalped in a high energy number with someone like Kennedy. It's probably for the better.
