If there’s one thing you can count on All-Stars doing, it’s making sure they f*ck up who the winner is. The fact that Trixie won is proof the word “winner” has no meaning.

Watch Derrick come back and win the crown because of a "vote." LOL

I wouldn’t put it past All-Stars to pull something like that lolol

I've had my doubts about the show being rigged -- certain energetic and imaginative performers who just suddenly seem to deflate at important moments, as when Crystal Methyd just seemed to almost deliberately do as little as possible during that final lip-sync in that finale, or when Aquaria was the only one of the finalists to have brought along a strategic prop linked to a specific song in that finale.  And RuPaul's just unjustifiable devotion to the unspeakable Silky...

There’s a podcast I keep seeing ads for that’s just Vanjie and Silky Talking for an hour and that’s my literal idea of hell.

What the actual fuuuuuuk is up with trying to make Cracker a villain???

Unpopular opinion - Shea should have gone home tonight.

After this week's episode, I feel like it's Alexis getting the villain edit. I love Alexis. She is Drag Race royalty and for good reason. But her attack on Cracker in the workroom twice this episode, plus her picking to send Shea home, plus her alleged attitude during the sneak peek of next week's episode is not flattering.

Three episodes in and I'm still not seeing the sweet and genuine side of Alexis.  Based on what I've seen so far I would never go see her perform, unless she was part of a group like in Vegas.  As far as the episode went.  All three of those rooms were fugly.  All of the performances were amateur.  I didn't laugh once.  Now Jujubee's confessionals were funny.  And her reading Alexis behind her back was hilarious.

Based on just this season I can’t blame you, ArtMan.

I'm really happy Jujubee won at last. And as for the season itself...

I haven't really been paying attention.  When Ru comes out on the runway in her glamour look, are her arms usually covered?  Tonight's episode showed bare arms and they really looked like sticks.  No tone or muscle to her arm at all.  My advice is work out those arms or cover up.

I love Jujubee and am thrilled she finally won a challenge, but she had no business winning tonight in that Spirit Halloween runway. Frankly I thought Blair was the worst performer tonight, and I thought all 3 of her runway looks were ugly. I don't get the appeal.

Alexis used to be charming and funny, she had a goofy appeal and energy in her original season that seem to have just vanished.  Jujubee's snark about Alexis was really the show's highlight.

I just don’t know what to make of this season. It’s a really strange mix of girls and the episodes spend WAY too much time dealing with the machinations of Drag Race, the show, and not enough on Drag Race, the show about drag queens competing. Especially when they’re including a half hour of Untucked that is JUST about talking shop about the machinations of Drag Race, the show.

I don’t think Shea should have gone home last night, mostly based on her track record, but also she wasn’t the worst of the worst. Mariah was the right choice. She’s pretty boring, her runway was bland and ugly, and she was at least equally as bad as Shea in the challenge. At least Shea put in effort.

Cracker is pulling the ultimate white girl defensive card these last couple weeks. She says something blatantly hurtful, gaslights you into thinking you misinterpreted her, explains what she actually meant, and then has the nerve to get defensive when people call her out. Maddening. The queen can put on a show, but she just can’t help letting her a$$ hang out.

I’m thrilled for Jujubee. She’s clearly come a long way as a person outside her drag persona, but she’s the same ol’ Jujubee we love. And her asides in the workroom while Alexis was stirring up drama were gold. Definitely deserved the win this week.

My God. 10 years of part this franchise, and Juju finally gets the win.
And what do they give her? A trip to FORT LAUDERDALE, FL! I can’t. They did her dirty with that.

I grant you Jujubee’s got wit and charm, and her confessionals are the high point of each episode. But I’m at a loss about her rep as a lip sync assassin— that dance in the leopard unitard was a pathetic show. Plus her runway goes from bad to worse. Glad she won this once so we don’t have to belabor that story point anymore.

The real lowpoint of last night's episode was watching Alexis try to pick a fight with Cracker out of thin air, over absolutely nothing, and it was refreshing to see others take her down.  Jujubee's reference to Alexis and her chins was particularly tasty.

[bjh2114]

Over absolutely nothing? Are we watching the same show? I'm glad Alexis called Cracker's fake ass out.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 6/20/20 at 5:03pm

This whole season already makes me feel weird. I LOVE Alexis and I LOVE Cracker and this sh*t between them is really just making me sad.

[TotallyEffed]

Posted: 6/20/20 at 5:04pm

Alexis is being super aggressive and Cracker seems on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

[Valentina3]

Posted: 6/20/20 at 10:53pm

I swear they are editing out the "why" behind the drama a lot. The narratives seem so confusing. Whatever. Still sticking with Alexis and Juju and Shea on top.

[SouthernCakes]

Posted: 6/20/20 at 11:16pm

Yeah they both come across as paranoid. I feel like since gaining weight Alexis is just kind of bitter? But she’s a great performer. Besides Juju I didn’t think anyone was very good this week.

The 3 reveals was fun though.

[SouthernCakes]

Posted: 6/20/20 at 11:50pm

Also RuPaul shows her arms quite a lot! I mean she’s trying pretend she’s a woman so the no muscle makes sense

[Roscoe]

"Over absolutely nothing? Are we watching the same show? I'm glad Alexis called Cracker's fake ass out."

 

I'm talking about the moment where Cracker was talking to Shea and India about how she's glad to be working with queens she respects, and Alexis, who was in no way in the conversation, either as participant or subject, turns around from half way across the room and picks a fight over the entirely imaginary implication that Cracker is saying that Cracker doesn't respect Alexis, who let's remember was in no way a part of the conversation.  Shea and Jujubee remarked upon it when it went down, Jujubee even suggesting that Alexis should get back to work making up her chins.
