yeah, this is a strange set. guess you never know how it'll work out. I am not at all a fan of including all-stars winners in this. it's the first season where they're doing this, give it to queens who have only been on once! it feels quite unfair.

I know I've heard several winners talk about how they'd never go back on drag race, and how they only have reputation to lose and nothing to gain. I could see their selection of strict winners being... limited

Having an All Winners season without Bob, Alaska, Bianca and even Sasha just feels... anticlimactic. I'm assuming it's because they're too cheap to increase the prize money.

Having that super tense untucked in what are usually sugary finales where nothing bad is said was weird.

Fuuuck Jimbo, love Pangina but as a judge she really needs to work on rising above it a bit more.

Life’s not fair, etc etc. The cast is a bit odd but I’m excited for most of the returning queens. Quite a few of them I thought would never compete again.

I'm so over Jimbo at this point. Never a fan but I always try and respect these competitors as artists but honestly what a constantly poo poo attitude and it's appalling to see the way they speak down about people, especially ones they seem bitter towards. They can claim it's part of the character they're playing but if someone tried that puppet master defense elsewhere it would fall flat as an excuse to act like an rear end in a top hat.

what a humorous anecdote.
Finally finishing UK vs the World (I'll get around to tonight's US episode tomorrow evening) and I don't dislike Baga Chipz, but she feels like she's been resting on the "MUCH BETTA" laurels for so long that I'm always floored when she is actually, genuinely funny. She can do it!! She just...doesn't.

Yeah I'm a little frustrated at the outcome but holy poo poo I'm also kinda hyped???

I'm also curious at what happened behind the scene because there's no way this was actually planned. Did they negotiate an extra episode on the spot? Or are we not gonna see a chocolate bar save this season to compensate, and it's gonna give one of the top 4's an advantage in the finale (like picking a song) instead?

My theory is they jettisoned another challenge and two queens go home next week.

My theory on how next week is occurring:

I think there is no way they did that last minute. They were always going to do an episode like that from the very start, they were just waiting until the episode where most people did the worst. Their judging really has no merits, it's not a drag competition, they're creating a television show. Everything is planned before the season begins shooting, right down to entire character arcs and who they intend to be in the final. No matter what happened, they would have said something to justify putting everyone but the winner in the bottom, and the episode was going to move forward as planned. It's just maybe a matter of when in the season it would be placed.

I think that's a little overly cynical, and completely insane to assume that they planned on a week where every queen was dogshit but one who was just ok.

Personally, I thought Bosco was funny enough not to warrant being in the bottom, but I can understand if the judges didn't get the angle of making fun of an out of touch celebrity shilling new-agey crap. The bottle of kumbucha was both hilarious and nauseating.

It's possible that they skewed the results a bit for drama (I could see Daya being safe on a different timeline) but they can't have banked on a universal bomb.

It's probably just a product of circumstance; the supposed frontrunners for the challenge like Willow and Bosco have a dry sense of humor that doesn't easily translate to Snatch Game, and Kornbread was most likely the production favorite to win the Snatch Game but poo poo happened. If she had been here she probably would've won and we'd have had a normal if underwhelming snatch game ep

Hay hay hay!
I’d be okay with them sending half the cast home after that episode.

As for who we have left

Fodder - Jasmine Kennedie & Jorgeous.
Possibly Cut before finale - Deja Skye/Daya Betty (Unless they want a villain in the final)/Camden (Getting a Miz Cracker edit)
Lock for Finalists - Angeria (Similar edit to Jaida Essence Hall). Willow Pill (Similar edit to Evie Oddley)
No Idea - Bosco.

I’ve kept falling asleep during the last 3 episodes.

So the queens were told it was "worship wear" for this episode but then it got changed into "Holy"

Explains why Willow was a mushroom and Jorgeous was weedpope.

I think they always had a lipsync battle royale planned for the next episode, this just let them segue into that as some kind of punishment.

I don't think it was planned. No one would have guessed this batch of queens would epic fail like this. It's very much a plan B they had in their back pocket for several seasons.

Yeah, I think she's been on the show before and I still didn't know who she was. She was a mainstay on Disney channel shows and movies apparently.
