I don't see Symone and GottMik as complete Drag Queens. 

Rosé can sing, can dance, can lipsync, can sew and she's great/funny in the acting challenges, but we know why she won't be even considered as a possible winner of this season. But apparently you just need budget and/or artists who send you expensive outfits to win drag race nowdays.

 

 

I don't think you should discount them as drag queens but I can see where you are coming from. If Mik's snatch game wasn't that great, I would have argued that Gottmik is more like an Instagram influencer and not a Drag Race Queen.

I was rooting for Symone at first, I feel Rosé is the one to beat now. I really didn't like her during the beginning  but she has changed my mind and how. She can do it all and do it well. 

Meanwhile Kandy is just there. And the Vanjie comparison is tiring. Kandy doesn't come across as likable at all.

I really wanted a Rosé, Olivia, Symone, Denali top 4. With Utica rounding out the top 5.  I don't see now happening that all. 

It sucks that they all pre decide the finalists from the time they are cast and their attached storylines as well. 

[Sneaky Oliver 21,265]

I have a statement: that was the most unfair elimination since Scarlett Envy. 

They should have done the runaway twice. I mean each time as a each partner so they could be judged individually.

Yeah. If I were an author of the show I'd put Symone on All Stars otherwise Gigi Goode will have 0 competition and it'll be another Shea Couleé kinda mess.

 

I think different on that.

That All Stars season were already set up for Shea regardless of the competition. It is just like AS1 was made so that Morgan Michaels can win Drag Race.

The other participating queens likely knew but took the chance anyway just for their own benefits. 6 of 10 of the queens are older seasons queens before Drag Race was cool with the locals and the straights, so reintroducing themselves to the new set of audience is always a good idea.

But to think of it, isn't that always the underlying idea of All Stars anyway? I can see things will repeating for Season 6. The queen who become renown and have seen as "robbed" after and on their respective season, will likely get their dues paid aka winning the crown.

And if there are two or more of that kind of queens in one season, they likely will do stupid plot twist and using the other queens as martyr to do the deed, the way they get rid of Manila and Shangela, and got Naomi and more got so hated afterwards by the eliminated queens fanbase.

I mean, every all stars season has kinda been set up for a predecided winner. 

AS1 was clearly just for Chad and AS5 was clearly just for Shea (although her competition in Cracker and Juju ended up being bigger than I think production had assumed). 

AS2 was set up for Alaska. Alaska deserved to win (i’m not discounting her for that or anything), but they wanted her to win long before the show even started. You could also tell they wanted Katya out with the Herstory of the World challenge, basically setting her up for failure, but she ended up being better for them than i think they had expected. 

AS3 was for Trixie. They wanted her to win, and she did. She did way worse than i think they thought she would have done, who could’ve seen how amazing Dela and Shangela would have done coming, but Trixie ended up pulling ahead in the end and getting the crown. 

AS4 was for Trinity, and she half-got it.

They had to do this cos of the rampant attacks to Olivia

So glad Symone and Utica won. Along with Mik they're the only ones in the competition that actually excite me.

Rose is fine, but she doesn't really stand out. Tina is really nothing special. I do like Olivia, she started strong but she's slumped a bit past 2 weeks. Kandy needs to shut up and get over herself. The response to one person saying she should go home was ridiculous. When did being loud and obnoxious become a good personality trait?

I was expecting Gottmik and Kandy to win based on the critiques  it really took me by surprise

also about Denali elimination, we all know she's not gonna win so I'm not mad at she leaving, Tina is next

pls no 

[Guest]

Apparently Olivia Lux's first snatch game choice was Rachel Dolezal but production said no lol, then some said it was cause Raven Dolezal was there  

Either way, it's hilarious how censored and "safe" the show is now. They'll let queens who are racist and consistently blackfish on the show yet when a queen of colour wants to do something they censor it.

Spoiler

It's not comparable at all tbh. The winner of UK was great, despite having someone stronger than her competing. Meanwhile Kandy is just... Well... Kandy 

[BUtterfield 8 40,835]

I’m really surprised at the eliminated queen considering what next week’s challenge is 

you’d think they save her
