Fix it, BITCH!
Added 2021-07-03 18:29:20 +0000 UTCGood [insert time of day you're reading this], Patrons! Happy [insert day of the week you're reading this]! I hope you're all having decent weeks! I took two melatonin gummies last night and slept like a peaceful rock, so all is well over here!
Speaking of rocks/RAQs... let's talk about All Stars this week! First of all, I still haven't programmed into my brain that new episodes are Thursdays and not Fridays so apologies if these posts pop up inconsistently over the weekend! But, what else is new!
Episode 3 is new! Let's do this.
This week the queens are flexing their side hustles ... which could also be the way to describe how I dance... it's a lot of frantic shuffling side to side.
We start the episode with Jiggly's elimination. May we call her...an absolute delight...I'm glad we at least got a moment to get jiggly with it (apparently the jokes get more awful the more sleep I've had - WHOOPS). The queens count the lipstick votes and it's 9 votes Jiggly, 2 votes Yara. Ginger cries because she voted for her friend while trying to maintain the initial integrity of the competition ... I can respect that. But TKB quickly reminds us that All Stars isn't regular Drag Race, it's like playing 4D chess. It's strategy and performance. It's Survivor meets Drag Race and DANG would I love a challenge where the queens have to give makeovers to Survivor contestants immediately after they're removed from the island covered in their own crust binge eating all the M&Ms at krafty. Throwing that idea out there to any patrons that also happen to be DragRace producers!
It's a new day in the werkroom and the queens discuss possible challenges. Silky says they should have to go door to door spreading the good word like JEWhova witnesses. Did anyone else hear her say JEWhova??? I swear I thought I heard her say JEWhova.
ANYWAY!
Ru walks into the room like a beautiful old rich woman's bathroom wallpaper and says the maxi challenge this week is creating side hustle commercials. What fun! He asks them to line up by height and it was like watching a group of kindergarteners trying to line up in alphabetical order. lol The groups and the side hustles are:
Ginger, A'keria, Jan and Silky promoting a Rent-A-Queen (RAQ) service ...side note I didn't think Jan was that short!
TKB, Pandora, Yara and Ra'Jah promoting Drag Fixers ...and you could heard the producers salivating over potential TKB/Yara drama
Kylie, Scarlet and Eureka promoting Drag Exorcists ...side note Kylie has an incredible butt - just putting that out there!
In the commercial prep Pandora takes the lead on her team bc she has famously produced local commercials in Rochester, NY (which some call the "Hollywood" of western New York). Their team decides they're going to do a series of unfortunate situations that only a queen with some duct tape could help. Yara's immediate example is "do you have trouble farting on your dick bc your tuck is too tight…fix it bitch!" and WOW I LOVE THIS ABSOLUTE MANIAC. Meanwhile, producers are backstage acting out old Wendy's commercials screaming "where's the beef?" because Yara and TKB seem totally fine working together. No beef with these patties! And, honestly, it's nice to see!
Kylie, Scarlet and Eureka go for an ExerSIZE spin on exorcists and I thought that was super clever. Meanwhile, the RAQ team is treating their commercial outline like a pinata, stuffing every piece of candy they can think of into it and Silky is ... letting them. It's sad to see that Silky has been so traumatized by the comments from her season thinking she was stealing focus too often.
They get to their commercial shoots and here are a couple things I loved:
-Yara says goodbye to Michelle and Ross like she was leaving an actual commercial audition and wanted the casting directors to only remember her
-Scarlet "sounds like math...I don't get it" lol!
-Ginger's lotion scene in a Jan robe *che'f kiss*
-GINGER'S INCREDIBLY STUPID RICHARD SIMMONS IMPRESSION OMG I WAS DYINGGGG
Then we get to Elimination Day and Ru walks the runway in what looked like a leftover dress from the Blue Ball last week. No time to judge, it's time for RUdemption Runway looks! Here's my quick rundown:
Kylie: Kesha as a flamingo during an acid trip
Scarlet: MichelangelOHHHHH GORGEOUS
Eureka!: Is she doing an elevated version of Ginger's entrance look from this season?
Ra'Jah: insert some sort of 'junk in that trunk' joke
Pandora: looks like Belle from Beauty and the Beast's new stepmom
Yara: Did she take every iron on patch at Joann's and put it on her face/neck?
TKB: Maleficent GLAAAAAM
Jan: Jock Jam pageant queen
Ginger: those pants are like two space curtains
Silky: the devil goes down to disco
A'keria: it's a kaftan!
Then we screen the commercials and my first reaction was that I thought they all did decent jobs! TBH I thought the weakest commercial was the exerSIZE-ists but I guess Eureka's performance saved them? Also, I'm still probably slightly impartial to Ginger's absolutely insane Richard Simmons impression. Ah, it's so stupid. But the results are in and the bitches that fixed it are the winners...specifically TKB! Meanwhile, the rentals are being returned... putting ALL FOUR queens on the bottom.
Backstage the girls start clamoring about being on the bottom and TKB’s talking head saying “..........do y’all see me??” truly made me lol. She interjects between the squawking and says she deserves congratulations and then launches into an impassioned Rudy (the football movie) type speech telling the concerned queens not to judge themselves by these critiques. Honestly, it was very moving. And it was met to .....COMPLETE SILENCE HAHAHAH ohhhh poor TKB! Finally she says … “okay jan let’s go talk” hahaha. Ugh, what a moment. I loved it.
Toward the end of the backstage panic A'keria has a full meltdown about wanting to stay and that it's likely her and Silky on the bottom. Silky agrees but then brings Jan into their bottom pairing....AND THEN brings Ginger into the bottom based on her runway critiques....ugh I laughed at how Silky just couldn't help herself. But then she stopped herself. At least she tried.
We get to the reveal of the lip sync assassin and it's....
it's....
....uhh...it's...
...........
IT'S FUCKING LAGANJA ESTRANJA JUMPING INTO A SPLIT FROM PRACTICALLY THE FUCKING RAFTERS. AHHHH! I SCREAMED!
"that first stunt don't count"- TKB
I SCREAMED AGAIN
Needless to say that lip sync was SO INCREDIBLE ... do yourself a favor and watch it if you haven't yet! My note after watching it was "Was I even allowed to watch that laganja performance!!?!?!?? THAT WAS INSANE!!!!!"
Wonderful entertainment, just wonderful! Laganja wins, but it was a great fight. The queens end up voting for Silky and even Ru let out a disappointed gasp. Silky leaves with some beautiful and encouraging words, but before she's on her way out we get our sneaky video message from Ru reminding us this season is a game within a game and does Silky want to continue....ohhhhh...IT'S THE SURVIVOR OF DRAG Y'ALL!
Overall, I thought this was a fun episode, especially the lip sync. What are you all thinking about this season so far? Like we've said before these are such great competitors that it's more fun to watch. And we haven't even gotten to the game WITHIN the game yet!!! I'm thankful for it, because I do feel like Silky sabotaged herself by trying to preserve herself. I hope she's able to find a happy medium. Okay, let me know your thoughts! Who are we rooting for? Who are we worried about? What do we think the game within the game means?!? Enjoy the rest of your weekends, patrons! ❤️G

Okay, I'm convinced that this is gonna be the season to rival the impeccable AllStars 2. We're only three episodes in and I don't want anyone to go home because I think they're all killing it. I also think it's a testament that I truly didn't think *any* of the skits were bad (although I did think that RAQ was the weakest purely because it seemed like they were throwing everything in the pot and hoping it turned out) and I didn't truly have any issue with the runways except Pandora's or Ginger's (but they're performances were fantastic). SCARLET ENVY owns my heart. I love her confessionals, I enjoyed her over the top ditzy performance, and I LOVED her runway. Truly, she looks like a Roman goddess walked out of a painting. Easily the top look of the night for me. Of the bottom 4, I'd honestly have voted for Ginger only because this is her THIRD time and she hasn't fixed her problem. We all know Ginger can turn a performance whether it's acting or singing or dancing or whatever, but her runways are just not up to par with the rest of the queens. Every look so far I've been disappointed with (along with every look from AS 2 AND most of the looks from S7). I want to see more from Akeria and Silky and Jan. Althoughhhh, I'm fully aware that no one in their right mind would send ginger home (clearly I'm not in my right mind LOL) AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT LIPSYNC WAS EVERYTHING. Laganja Estranja finally graced our TV sets again and she just fucking killed it. Trinity didn't stand a chance and *that's* a gag. I'm so so so sad that Silky is traumatized by her season that she was afraid to show that fire inside her and I fully hope she's able to come back this season with some renewed confidence. (Also, I felt ultra bad that she got whacked in the face by Laganja's corset on top of having a shitty evening). Anywho, SUPER excited to see where the season goes. My top 3 are: Scarlet, Ra'jah, and Sonique, but I also have a soft spot for Yara and Pandora... And Eureka... and truly the entire cast that's still left.

2021-07-03 20:11:01 +0000 UTCi LOVED this episode!!!! - scarlet not knowing what a crunch is...a whole mood - fix it bitch was definitely the best commercial - the exorcise commercial was a close second, but i have a soft spot for kylie and scarlet so that might be why - i'm SO happy that tkb got her first win ever, i could have cried - i could write an essay about how good that lip sync was. absolute peak drag race! laganja really did THAT and created one of the most iconic moments ever!!!!

2021-07-03 18:52:36 +0000 UTCThe highest rated on IMDB?! Okay! I'm here for it! "I want to live in Yara's brain for a day, or maybe like 5 minuets" - I DON'T KNOW IF I'D MAKE IT THAT LONG BUT YES I AGREE! "By putting Jan in the bottom, Ru is systematically trying to break Jan. Jan was robbed episode 1, FULLY" - YES! They are pushing Jan to her psychological LIMIT!!! "Laganja's jacket hit Silky in the face. This clip will live in my mind rent free" - YES I DID SEE THAT MOMENT AND WOW WHAT A SUBTLE MOMENT .... and I haven't ventured to watch Untucked yet, but I will...there was just SO much in this episode that I'm still reeling. And yes, this season is WONDERFUL already feels like a GIFT. I almost don't want to see the sabotage of the game within a game...ALMOST.
2021-07-03 18:52:28 +0000 UTCTKB did the best she could - she was up against INSANE competition! And same, I don't have a front runner yet - they're all so good! What a great season so far!
2021-07-03 18:46:18 +0000 UTCLaganja won all stars 6, that is all

2021-07-03 18:39:12 +0000 UTCFirst, I feel the need to mention that THIS WAS THE BEST EPISODE OF DRAG RACE WE HAVE HAD IN A WHILE. This season is honestly shaping up to be iconic and dare I say this is AS2 level of enjoyment?? It actually is the highest rated episode of drag race ever on IMDB. Here are my thoughts: - Sonique was fed that line in the confessional about TKB - Honestly these early episodes eliminations seem sorta Survivor-esque: vote the weakest until stategery comes in - i don't know if I mentioned this last week, but I think we all noticed the new updated theme song where they changed it to "may the best drag queen win" - Ruhovas Witnesses 💀 - Organize by height? Wtf is this middle school gym shenaniganery. Also I instantly knew Ginger was the shortest LOL - Team 1: Ginger, A'keria, Jan, Silky -> the escorts - Jan, what the fuck - Team 2: Trinity, Pandora, Yara, Rajah -> Fix It Bitch - Team 3: Kyle, Scarlet, Eureka -> THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU - I want to live in Yara's brain for a day, or maybe like 5 minuets - Is Yara speaking from experience about farting on his dick bc his tuck is too tight? Asking for a friend - Tag yourself, I'm Yara doing pirouettes behind her team. - I'm simultaneously Yara and Trinity in every group project - Scarlet doing curls and thinking their crunches is the effortless skinniness I wish I could be - Kylie saying she isn't an actress really kinda explains her acting on the Dragging Up the Classics of the Brady Bunch... - Ginger is overly confident that she's going to win...i bet her runway ain't that good - Too many chefs in the kitchen!!!! - Silky should have spoken up - Raja is wearing what she wore for her S11 promo - TKB LOOKS GOOD IN A SHORT WIG! - Hold on does TKB cover his goatee in drag or does he shave it? Bc in the werkroom/confessionals, he has a goatee, but not in drag... - GET IT TKB. BE CONFIDENT!!! - Yara loves foxtails - "There is so much meat in here, I can make a sandwich" - Exo-size queens on the set! - Scarlet saying "Three easy payments of your first born" and then not getting how that's physically impossible made me laugh so hard I fell out of my bed - EUREKA BROKE THE HEADBOARD. AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA - This episode is SO MUCH FUN - Ross and Michelle are living, the queens are living, everyone is living, except for the demon in Eureka - RAQ is the new FAQ - Oh no, A'keria stumbling on her words :( I love her, I don't want this storyline for her - THE JAN ROBEEEEEEEE - Ross is living for the Ginger squirting. That's the tweet - Ginger being stomach out was the best part of this filming process - Michelle: "Is it all going to fit?" Jan: "With poppers" - I don't get why Silky ran into the funeral scene...Did I just type that? - So all 4 queens played every role? Yikes.... - I hate Ginger Minj's make-up. Like it's either so tan, or so white. - They really got Ginger with the orange/tan make-up, the white highlights, the deep red blush and the black smokey eye. - RUDEMPTION RUNWAY!!! This runway needs to be on every all stars season, it makes the most logical sense. - Kylie: I like it. Very Gaga. Not my fave, but still great - Scarlet: SHE. SHUT. IT. DOWN. THIS WAS THE BEST RUNWAY OF THE NIGHT! - Eureka: Production made an interesting choice having Eureka recreate the look in the episode she got medically pulled from the competition. I don't love this look - Rajah: May I call you Mrs. Groot? - Pandora: Interesting choice again by production. Pandora looks great though - Yara: I don't have an issue with her promo look, but sure recreate it. anyways I love this - TKB: Really production, choices. She looks STUNNING regardless - Jan: WOW. JUST WOW. Jersey made into a gown - Ginger: We all knew she was going to have to recreate this look, and I don't like it. - Silky: She looks good, but what does this have to do with her original look/category? - A'keria: beautiful!!! - Kylie/Scarlet/Eureka Commercial: WOW! So funny. "I'm sweating for jesus." Also, IDK if anyone else caught the nipple censor that they put on Eureka, but I did and was LOLing. Eureka had a full story arch in this advertisement - Yara/Pandora/TKB/Rajah: Best commercial of the night. I would love to see this commercial on TV. I like how everyone had a distinct character and wasn't playing multiple people - NOT THE NAOMI SMALLS READ IN REGARDS TO HER CLIFFHANGERS 💀 TKB being like "uhhhhh, y'all forreal?" was so funny - Silky/Jan/Ginger/A'keria Commerical: this was also funny, but definitely the worse commercial of the episode - The funeral scene when A'keria told Jan to butch it up was SO GOOD - TKB WON!!! YESS!!!! I'M SO HAPPY THAT SHE WON! SHE DESERVED IT! - Damn this in-episode Untucked was INTENSE - By putting Jan in the bottom, Ru is systematically trying to break Jan. Jan was robbed episode 1, FULLY. - I understand that they are judging by teams, but Jan and Ginger could have been low, instead of in the bottom. - LAGANJA ESTRANGA JUST MADE THE MOST ICONIC ENTRANCE EVER. SHE OUTDID HER OWN ENTRANCE - IM SCREAMINGGGGGGG. THIS WAS SO GOOD! - TKB vs Laganja is going to be a BATTLE - Amazing song, amazing lip sync, I'm LIVING - Wow, this was the lip sync assassin battle that we WANTED last season but never got after Yvie came in and shut it down. - Future Assassins I want: Widow Von Du, Jaida Essence Hall, Heidi N Closet, Shea Coulee, Dida Ritz, Shangela, Peppermint - Laganja's jacket hit Silky in the face. This clip will live in my mind rent free - After the episode, I watched this lip sync at least 5 more times - I cannot get over how iconic this is - RIP Silky, but she got a redemption Also, IDK if y'all are watching Untucked, but at the end of the episodes they show who voted for who. If y'all haven't watched allow me to spoil it. - Voted for A'keria: Eureka, Ginger, Rajah, Silky - Voted for Silky: A'keria, Jan, Scarlet, Kylie, Pandora, Yara, Trinity Overall, my standards for this season just dramatically increased. I honestly think that by the time this season is over, this will be the best season of all stars yet if every episode is as enjoyable as this one.
