RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 2 *Trailer Now Out*

[Musical Master]

Oh look at that, Alaska won. No surprise there I guess...

[rosscoe(au)]

She was vile last week and even more so this week, Alaska just come across as a spoiled little bitch, didnt deserve to win!

[newintown]

And yet, even though it was clear from the beginning that Alaska was going to get that crown, I was really really really hoping that RuPaul would pull a twist and give it to Katya, who was easily far and above my favorite by the end of the run.

I thought Katya had the stronger episode, especially in her performance in the challenge, and her perfect speech. But, she was not on that level the whole season, and save for last week, Alaska was. I would have been happier to see Katya win, but Alaska's talent and creativity can't really be denied.

However, what was up with that final lipsync song? Nothing against Gladys Knight, but it really was an underwhelming choice for this season and these particular queens. 

[ArtMan]

Since this was my first season watching, I don't know how they usually do a crowning.  But since it was an All Star crowning, I felt the episode lacked spectacle for a finale.  Don't get me wrong.  I enjoyed it.  But it did not seem any different from the other episodes this season.  I think if they at least gave the illusion that it wasn't so taped.  Maybe an audience?  I was rooting for Katya, since Alyssa got the boot.  Alaska proved again this episode, her true negative personality.

Alaska may have the crown, but there's no question that Katya and Alyssa are walking away from this season as the winners.

[newintown]

And I imagine that Tati's career will get a great lift as well. She was impressive.

[Stage Door Sally]

Kad said: "Alaska may have the crown, but there's no question that Katya and Alyssa are walking away from this season as the winners."

This. And Alaska's pretentiousness at the end, especially her overdramatic "What have I DONE? I've been part of an alliance..." sounded like pure crap.

[Kad]

Oh yeah, there's no doubt Tati will be seeing a lot more bookings and appearances in WoW things. The top four should have been Alaska, Tati, Katya, and Alyssa. Imagine how much fun that would've been.

We could have had Alyssa rapping.

Instead we got... whatever it was Roxxxy did.

[newintown]

Poor, poor Roxxxy - she does some very nice looks (but nothing really spectacular, like Kim Chi's work), but she's not funny, not a singer, not a dancer - it's like Talent: 3, Looks: 6.75.

[Jordan Catalano]

I will say that at least Roxxxy redeemed herself with this season. So even though she didn't win, I think she managed to revamp her image which  actually is a big win for her. 

[JerseyGirl2]

Meh. I do think Alaska was the strongest from start to finish. I was really hoping Detox or Katya would get the win, though. I was absolutely not feeling Alaska's, "I NEED this!!!" sh!t. There wasn't a person there who didn't come to win. The way she responded to the only time she was ever in the bottom in two full seasons was a hot mess. She handled the backlash from fans really well, but she handled the initial situation and this week's aftermath terribly. Total turn off for me. Lady boner killer, if you will. She could have made light of it. 

 

The promo for the reunion (in two weeks. Double meh.) is out. Alaska is in the crown, talking about her win, so the fan voting was pointless. 

 

 

[Roscoe]

It seemed pretty clear that Alaska was the chosen one, and why not.  She just kept outclassing every single one of the other contestants, week after week after week, challenge after challenge after challenge.  The gimmick of having the queens choose who went home added drama and back-stabbing and alliances and a lot of frustration and annoyance as it ensured that the relentlessly untalented Roxxxy Andrews stayed on far longer than she had anything like a reason to do.

Quite a few behind the scenes footage for tonight's reunion. Who's watching? :)

[newintown]

That was a very... polite reunion show. Everyone seemed a bit tired (except Katya, who seemed high [in a fun way that no one else was connecting with]). Alaska's leg gag was one of the few real laughs of the evening - I think Alyssa got the rest.

When Ru called out the de rigueur "Let the music play!" at the end, they almost seemed unable to get out of their seats.

[Kad]

I thought it was a super awkward reunion. I loved Katya's Two-Face look- and Katya is always delightful and in her own world- and appreciated Alaska's Hairspray homage.

Everyone politely threw Phi Phi under the bus, as well, but... she had it coming.
