JuJu’s Eartha Kitt was brilliant , that line about the thermostat was really laugh out loud funny. She should have one.

That thermostat line was one of the funniest things in Drag Race herstory.

I agree! 
 

Anyone else watching “How’s your head hun?” - Michelle Visage’s talk show on BBC? It’s on the Wow app and I really find her and her husband entertaining. They’re so cute.

If Juju's runway had been more of a standout, I think she could have won. Her Snatch Game was by far the best for me. The thermostat joke and the lady frog are instantly iconic.

I didn't really care for anybody's runway except for Blair's. I know people will love Shea's look, but it didn't read prom to me, and we've seen Raja do the Carrie reference and better at that. Also, Cracker's runway was trash, even taking her interpretation into consideration. It wasn't even a "good" ugly dress. And yet again for a self-proclaimed comedy queen, she had ZERO jokes in her Snatch Game performance. India was painful to watch (and I say that as someone who has enjoyed India more than most viewers this season). I feel really bad for Alexis because she really should have been in the top for this challenge. I'm convinced Ru only initiated the twist to avoid Cracker getting sent home. We already know that Ru is sucking Cracker's dick (I mean... the tie last week was nonsense).

Speaking of Ru, her look on the runway was GORGEOUS. Best she has looked in a LOOOOOONG time. Loved the dress, the makeup, the hair, everything. Perfection.

TotallyEffed said: "The problem with the lipsync assassin is that there is nothing at stake for them."

Because how they do is guided by whose lipsticks are chosen. Unless a producer tells them to go all out because they want to eliminate who is on their lipstick. Like when it was Cracker vs Morgan they were so desperate for Cracker to win that they stopped and had them restart the song and Morgan still wiped the floor with her and they still had to do it as a tie even though it was the exact same Queen on both lipsticks. They want to Cracker in the final three and will manipulate all they can to make it appear legitimate.

I mean, the show is one of the most scripted/rigged “reality” shows around, that’s not too surprising.

Again, Ru's outfit on the runway was ugly.  As fantastic as Michelle looked last week, this week her hair and makeup was awful.  She looked 10 years older.  I thought the criteria Cracker was using for her bottom 2 was pretty fair.  Blair's biggest fan is Blair.  She thinks she is better than she is.  I am really surprised that Alexis's first outfit wasn't dissed more.  It was so basic and had nothing to do with the theme.  In the beginning, every time they showed Bebe (?)  she looked bored.

I loathed RoXy on season 5 but since AS2 and now this weeks lip sync, I've done a complete 180 and am absolutely infatuated. World class drag, truly.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 7/11/20 at 10:56am

I can’t believe we live in a world where Blair St. Clair outlasted Alexis Mateo.

[Roscoe]

Posted: 7/11/20 at 12:27pm

The reappearance of the unspeakable RoXy Andrews was unwelcome, but even I have to admit that she can lip-sync.  And Cracker's utterly dull sync had me wondering if she deliberately threw it so as not to have to make the decision about who to send home.

I'm fine with Alexis going home.  The controversy over India's allegations is one thing, but Alexis' ugly little attempt to gaslight Cracker (people are talking about you behind your back) is another.  Bye Alexis, I won't miss you in the slightest.

Blair really should be the next to go.  

[ColorTheHours048]

The rumor India spread about Alexis directly led to both of their eliminations. F*ck India. Alexis should still be there.

Love Blair’s fashion, but I’m really upset we have to watch her absolutely bomb a standup challenge next week. Even if Alexis is not a comedy queen, she knows how to play to her strengths in a way Blair simply has no grasp of.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 7/11/20 at 7:09pm

Yeah I can’t imagine Blair lasting past next week.

And I burst out laughing at Cracker’s lipstick thing with Shea’s name.

[SouthernCakes]

Posted: 7/15/20 at 11:11pm

So we don’t get a “they all come back” twist this year? Bummer! I want more Derrick!!!

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 7/16/20 at 10:23am

Yeah I was waiting for one to return. Sad it’s not happening.

[Jordan Catalano]

Love Cracker getting another win tonight. And yes, I like Shea but the whole storyline about her needing to “heal” from the rose petals and coming in second place is just weird to me. Like, is her storyline sponsored by Pringle’s cuz Mama’s got a chip on her shoulder and it’s starting to get annoying. She wasn’t OWED the win or cheated out of it, Sasha was the better performer and won fair and square. Just weird.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 7/17/20 at 10:13pm

Also, and it wasn’t even Cracker or Kennedy’s fault but that lipsync (to one of my favorite songs) was AWFUL.

[TotallyEffed]

Posted: 7/17/20 at 10:23pm

Enough of Shea’s sob story, literally every single contestant on All-Stars lost the crown. That’s literally the premise of the show and why they are all there.

[ColorTheHours048]

Posted: 7/17/20 at 11:07pm

I understand Shea’s chip on her shoulder about the finale. She and Sasha were neck and neck and there are LS4YL moments that immediately clinch the win, and the rose petals were so obviously one of those moments. And then on top of that she apparently has fans who harass her (and yes, that’s the correct word) by rubbing it in her face. All compounded with the fact that her father and sister’s deaths are forever tied to her time on the show in her mind. I get it.

That being said, she shouldn’t be handed anything solely based on the fact that she was a hair away from winning her season. Her performance this season has been slightly underwhelming even when her fashion and charisma have always been in full display. Juju and Cracker have been much more consistent, and that’s disappointing since Shea was my odds-on favorite when they announced the cast.

Blair clearly hired writers to generate a bunch of [insert name here] zingers, and boy are my arms tired. It was boring and obvious in rehearsal and then she got stage fright and somehow leaned into Farrah Moan insult comedy mode to deflect. Her elimination was a no-brainer.

It could be any of the top 3 at this point. Jujubee might get the edge for being one of the queens who has defined and continues to define the Drag Race brand. She’s the definition of All Star-dom.

This is going to be a very tough one to call. Shea is the clear fan favorite for the win, but quite frankly, since the girl group episode, she has not really stood out to me in the ways that some other queens have. Then again, she came in with very high expectations, which maybe made me expect more from her. That's being said, I have loved nearly every single runway from her, and the "love the skin you're in" runway is probably my favorite runway of all time. But, I still feel that if you were completely unaware of her performance in season 9, she wouldn't be a clear front runner. 

Then there's Cracker, who seems to have picked up momentum at the perfect time. Her track record is certainly on her side, but in my opinion her lip syncs leave something to be desired (and she's won 40k(!!) off of lip syncs already). Conceptually there's no reason why she couldn't win, but I just can't picture Rupaul saying "The next queen to be inducted into the Drag Race Hall of Fame is... Miz Cracker". But maybe I'll be proven wrong about that.

Then Juju. I've said this before and will continue to say it. If this had been a normal All Stars lip sync for your legacy season, then Juju would have lip synced 4 or 5 times by now (and oh how upsetting is it that we didn't get to see those lip syncs). Not to mention her confessionals being consistently absolutely priceless. I only wish her runways were a little... more. I will say her runway this week was surprising in the best way, but that was really the first one that was more than good. Still, Juju is my pick. 

In a so far relatively "normal season", I'm almost certain there's going to be some kind of stunt next week, so I really have no clue what will happen.

Cracker deserved that win tonight.

I’m sort of team all three. Love them all.

Shea is clearly fan favourite and did amazing.

Cracker has the best track record and did amazing.

Juju is a legend and did amazing.

I don’t know

[Roscoe]

Posted: 7/18/20 at 7:49am

Team All Three is an interesting notion.  Might RuPaul give the crown to all three?

And the business with the phone?  

[ArtMan]

Posted: 7/18/20 at 8:57am

I'm really looking forward to the reunion next week, than the crowning.  It looks like from the preview that Mayhem is confirming India's statements about Alexis.  But that just could be crazy editing.

[Someone in a Tree2]

The fact that Juju’s runway this episode is the FIRST time anyone’s raving about her outfit is for me the biggest obstacle to Juju getting the crown, despite being the wittiest queen in the pack.

Cracker had a good night, no doubt, but her death Drag was still just a zip-up body suit. And we’ve now watched her parade through three of the worst lipsync performances in All Stars history. It’s just not her forte, let’s face it. She was damn lucky Kennedy put in even less effort than she, that’s all.

No, nothing can budge me from handing Shea the crown when all the todo lists are checked: she’s warm, she’s funny, she’s gorgeous, she’s the hottest lipsync performer, and she creates nonstop looks that demand our full attention nearly every time out. And then let’s put that exhausted line that Sasha stole her rightful crown in Season 9 finally to rest.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 7/18/20 at 10:28am

I’d still give it to Juju for the same reason why DiCaprio won the Oscar - it’s just her time and she deserves it.
