I assumed that was because everyone loves (or loved until they got sick of) her talking heads, but it could be, and you're definitely right that she's been getting a super friendly edit. drat I'll be pissed if it's Monique instead of Manila.

I think it’s just because she gives really good talking heads.
AllStars 2 had a lot of Katya narration.

I know some people are sick of her, but I would not be upset if Monique was always giving talking heads regardless if she’s even on the season. Just have her be the constant narrator.

Honestly same. On any other queen, I would be beyond over the goops and the gabs but Monique is just so fun, I still love it. :allears:

I wish her runways were good enough for me to believe she could win. I love Monique and I do hope she's in the top, but I can't see her taking the crown. I think she's getting so much screen time b/c why the hell wouldn't you give her as much time as possible in the confessional room, she's narration gold.

Yeah, I think runway is essentially disqualifying for both Monique and Monet.

The only way I see Manilla losing is if she lands in the bottom and the top queen actually pulls her lipstick or if they bring back the jury and Manilla doesn’t make it into the final choice. I can’t see Ru picking any queen over Manilla right now.

Trinity or Naomi could reasonably win if they start stepping up in challenges. Naomi was constantly high before the roast, if she can pull a couple wins she has a shot. Trinity started strong but then faded a bit; she can still turn it around.

Latrice is dead in the water. She has never been amazing in the challenges this season and her runway, while always polished, is not quite strong enough.

Monique and Monet win a lot, and Monique has great talking-head snippets, but like everyone else I don't see anyone but Manila winning. Although I'd love for Naomi to just totally start highlighting how awesome she is and pull a surprise win out.

Seriously this. I spent most of this season (and season eight) being pretty meh on Naomi, and she was just starting to win me over with the two lip sync performances recently. But this decision just seems really poorly thought out and I can't imagine it's going to be well received.

I love the balls on her. Her first win and she takes out one of the front runners. I wanted the crown for Manila so badly before I heard the tea months ago. I'm just relieved this gag happened on a season where the top queens all have more or less the same amount of wins. It would probably bother me way more if Manila had a Dela-esque run of winning way more challenges than everyone else, but it's so even this year it won't feel like Trinity or Monet or Monique are just filling a huge void left by her.

Wow, this season's theme is definitely "no one is off-limits". I mean I'm a huge Naomi fan and I totally see her reasoning (Manila is strong as hell and the hardest competition for everyone). I really hope there isn't an internet shitstorm but of course there will be :(

While I sift through all the takes of Naomi having huge balls for making Manila's husband cry on national TV I just realized I feel really bad for Trinity who wanted to make sure she won against the best contestants so she wouldn't get a tainted win Trixie style.

Valentina and Manila back-to-back is shocking. Both had Trixie Mattel upside but I'm glad someone FINALLY decided to make their own rules with All-Stars format and take out the threat when they had the chance. :colbert:

:tviv: Oh my loving god. I don't know how to feel about this episode

On one hand I'm glad Naomi finally got her recognition and she just served the best lipsync of the season. On the other hand Manila had become my new favorite to win and it was not her time to go at all, especially when she's up against Latrice. On the other other hand the sheer nerve Naomi had to basically hold the producers at gunpoint and say "I'm not a loving filler queen, bitch" is something I can admire and respect.

So much mixed feelings. All I can definitely say now is that 1) Monique should've made top 2 like c'mon and 2) I'm completely 100% strapped in to this crazy roller coaster now.
