Can’t wait! Bummed it’s only 8 queens, which means a short season even if we get a double save or two (or three, if it’s season 14), but a great lineup of personalities.
Based on this interview, it sounds like the initial “twist” of this season is that no one goes home the whole season. Jinkx saying the twist is what made her come back in the first place seems to hint at that. I wouldn’t want to come back as a winner if I wasn’t guaranteed a full run like my first time.
Even though the first challenge/Ru song group number was kind of a snooze, I thought both episodes were a joy to watch. For the first time ever, no filler queens, and, pound for pound, it was the best Snatch Game ever, with Jinkx's performance becoming one for the ages. God, I love her.
This season so far is absolute heaven. If it continues this way it’ll be my favorite season of the show ever. I love this true non elimination thing they’re doing and I think that’s how it should be moving forward for every All-Star season. This is like a group of good friends having a game night and we’re invited to watch. Even Ru is having a great time and you can tell by the Queens actually feeling free enough to joke around and be “free” on the main stage, which is something you’d never do in a normal season.
I agree, thus far this season is pure Drag Race heaven. Not to mention one of if not THE best Snatch Game episodes ever put on in the entire franchise, not a single bad performance. Seriously, Jinkx's Judy Garland was a freaking MASTER CLASS on how to win Snatch Game and thank God for it being a healing balm in comparison to season 14's awful excuse for a Snatch Game. Trinity and Raja in particular I howled at with their characters as well.
So excited for the rest of the season and I hope the rest are as great as these first two episodes were.
She was never given enough credit for her hosting of that wild finale in the parking lot. That was an nearly impossible task and she pulled it off with such BRAVA!
