RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 3

[Valentina3]

I think Trixie said it best - "Milk, your talent can't be Velcro"

[Musical Master]

Yay for Shangela and DeLa in the top two and I am completely fine with Thorgy going home; Kennedy slayed her "Rudemption" runway look. Milk.,. That was not attractive, in fact I am completely over her attitude at this point.

[Mildred Plotka]

Milk’s attitude is just downright unattractive. Of course the judges don’t see that, though it looks like RuPaul heard her nasty comments when she was in the back. I don’t recall Milk being so loathsome in her original season. Guess being in an ad campaign or whatever went to her head. Her Céline was terrible and she had the easiest impersonation to do out of the bunch.

I feel bad for Thorgy. I completely understand what it’s like to be in your head that much. I hope whatever the twist is gives her a second chance. I thought her Stevie was fine. Certainly a harder task than Céline or Diana. I would have sent Kennedy home over Thorgy.

Shangela’s Mariah was hysterical. Though she and DeLa benefited from having the funniest writing.

[TotallyEffed]

Chi Chi being in the bottom three made no sense whatsoever. Milk was horrendous.

[Mildred Plotka]

I didn’t get why they put Chi Chi in the bottom 3 either. They barely had anything negative to say to her. Milk’s runway look was gorgeous, but her performance was unimpressive to say the least. I would have clocked her on the Céline look alone. Sure she wore it to the Met Ball, but nobody would recognize that as quintessential Céline. Hopefully she’ll get booted next week. If it’s Snatch Game I can see Milk tanking big time. Her last attempt was embarrassing. Her only strong point is runway looks. She lacks smarts, comedy, and charisma in actual challenges.

Also Aja is really growing on me. I hated her attitude last season (though I liked that she called out Valentina who I never understood the appeal of). She’s really grown in a short amount of time.

[Valentina3]

I was pissed that Kennedy was in Bottom 2 over Milk. Her Rudemption look was fantastic (minus her eyes).

Also surprised Bebe was in top 3 over 

Sangela was frikkin' hilarious. She looked and felt like Mariah.

 

And next week's episode isn't Snatch Game. They showed a brief trailer at the end - it's an acting challenge.

[Kad]

I'm thoroughly over Milk, who seems to have grown to think that because he's hot he's exceptionally talented.

[Someone in a Tree2]

^ Concur on Milk, except for the part about him being supposedly hot. All that egoism is decidedly unhot to me.

Shangela and Aja are impressing me the most so far. But I wish I could understand what folks find so amusing about Ben de La Creme; every lip-sync seems the same hyper and schizzoid character to me. I was shocked that folks criticized Thorgy's Stevie Nicks look for not upping the drag enough, whereas Ben pulled out the saddest look ever for a Julie Andrews takeoff-- why didn't we get vintage Mary Poppins Jolly Holiday sequins and petticoats at least? I get that he's old-school, but he better have another trick or two up his sleeve to merit a spot in top 3 for me.

[RippedMan]

Well we don’t know how much we know that they knew.

I just find Ben de La Creme so interesting. She’s like Jinx. Very different.

[Mildred Plotka]

Milk is clearly being painted as the villain of this season. And she pretty much is. I’m sure she’ll stick around longer than she should because of this. I get that it’s a reality show and they want conflict, but some of them stick around longer than necessary just because they stir the pot.

[Valentina3]

So do we think Milk's tantrum was coming from a place of genuine frustration (I would say privilege but that's a touchy subject), or is it producers being shady and giving her a bad edit? And while I agree Thorgy was given weaker material, she really should have embraced the witch rumors and gone bonkers with it - her performance was underwhelming not just because of bad source material. Her runway was freaking fantastic, however. I always look forward to how she deals with her hair.

"Jesus, gross" just about covers my feelings for both their performances in this episode.

[Mildred Plotka]

As much as I don’t like Roxy, she said it best on All Stars 2. She said and did those things. You can’t blame editing for what you said. I think Milk has let her successes after her season go to her head.

Question: Do we know if they all film their commentary for the entire season in one day after the show has wrapped filming? I often wonder if some of them are bitter and nastier during the commentary because they were booted off.

And I’m still laughing at Trixie’s “Milk your talent can’t be Velcro” comment.

[RippedMan]

Spoiler:

But have heard rumors that Ben De La Creme pulls and Adore. Hope it’s not true.

Also hope that Trixie doesn’t get lost again. Really enjoy her sense of humor.

They film them after every couple episodes. They just keep their hair and outfits consistent.

That would be shocking, since BenDeLa is certainly nothing if not always poised and confident.. not to mention, she's 2/2 for the main challenges thus far.

I LOVE Trixie but I think she excels when she's able to do her own thing. Has everyone seen the cut work room clip from this past week where she impersonates Thorgy? It's hilarious.

 

[RippedMan]

Agreed about Trixie. 

 

And yeah, from what I heard, the voting off people gets to her?

[Mildred Plotka]

What clip is that Kad? I can’t findnit on the Vh1 site.

[Kad]

It was posted on the official RPDR All Stars Facebook:

BONUS: Watch Trixie Mattel transform herself into Thorgy Thor

 

[Mildred Plotka]

Thats hilarious. Thanks Kad!

[Musical Master]

If Ben DeLa Creme quits like Adore did, I would be more annoyed than upset because that seems like we've been there done that and it would be a huge waste. If anyone IS going to do such a thing, I will except Milk to do that because of her attitude of being "sick of being safe too much".

But again, it's just a rumor so I'm going to take that with a huge grain of salt until such an event remotely happens.

[Valentina3]

Potential spoiler but not really since VH1 has been doing it for all episodes this season.

First look at AS3 Episode 3.

I'm worried. I'm really worried. Some of my favorite queens aren't exactly getting good edits hmpfh.

[Jordan Catalano]

I hadn’t heard anything about Ben leaving, but a good friend of mine is a friend of Bens and he told me when he asked about the show, Bens response was something like “I really just don’t want to talk about it”. So maybe that is true?

[Gorlois]

The full T about Ben has been out for months now.

POTENTIAL SPOILERS BELOW

 

 

 

 

 


Supposedly, Ben wins another challenge and she gets to choose one already eliminated Queen to return, and one Queen still in the running to leave. She decides to bring back Morgan McMichaels (which makes sense now since we saw her eliminate her first ep) and eliminate herself. I think this is supposed to happen around top 5.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 


END SPOILERS

So it doesn’t seem like quite the full Adore meltdown. At this point, Drag Race to me isn’t so much about “Who takes the crown?” as it is a celebration of these magnificent artists we call drag queens. WOW should consider doing a variety show with the drag queens so they could spotlight their talents. I’m also looking forward to the scripted movie with RuPaul that they’re doing.

[Jordan Catalano]

Oh God, i hope that’s not true. Talk about wanting to be a martyr.

[Mildred Plotka]

I live in Seattle and a good friend knows Ben. He says he’s one of the nicest, kindest people he’s met. Of course I don’t know how this all plays out, but I don’t see Ben as the martyr type. I think he’s finding it harder to eliminate people than he thought it would be.

I also don’t like that the queens on the show and online have been saying he’s done nothing since Drag Race. He’s still very active in Seattle, always creating new shows. I don’t think he’s interested in international stardom like most of them are.
