I cannot believe Trinity wasn’t in the bottom. Their critique of Monet was “you came in in the middle”. What? That was how the skit was structured. She did fine and bantered pretty well with Monique despite coming in half way through. Trinity forgot her characters name and didn’t have the gags.

She is a great drag queen but that doesn’t mean she’s a great drag race contestant. I mean her runway this week was completely nonexistent. Did she just close her eyes and pick out any dress in her closet? This is all stars.

I am worried for Naomi because she is getting the Miz Cracker treatment this season: she does well enough in challenges that it can be argued she should be one of the winneres but never actually gets the nod and instead has just been safe every week. Now we wait to see if she turns it around or like Cracker fails to

Vixen was terrible whether or not Asia got involved. That Blue Ivy debacle is one of the worst Snatch Game performances ever. Latrice just shut down, Vixen was actively dreadful. Plus she and Asia planned out that whole thing and it still crashed and burned. Gia coming for her was an unwanted surprise to Latrice.

I don’t think playing a character is Latrice’s bag and from the looks of it she seemed to be stuck trying to stay in character instead of just saying fudge it and just being Latrice in those scenes.

Just tossing in two challenges where they have to create looks would be cool and would force the contestants to show their creativity and ingenuity. At a certain point it gets kinda boring just having them wearing stuff they brought with them.

Latrice is one of my all-time faves, but she clearly deserved to go home this week. She can’t just win because we all love her.

I would have preferred a Tina original but The Bitch is Back is pretty closely associated with Tina too. She has recorded it on two separate albums, used to do it on her tours all the time and the cover she did for the Elton tribute record earned her a Grammy nom.

Monique was serving Angela Bassett in What’s Love Got to Do with It? realness during that LSFYL. Manilla was good but she wasn’t beating Monique.

I am usually not one to focus too much on the way Drag Race is edited because it is a reality show and all reality shows edit things to create narratives but i felt there was a specific heavy hand in the way this season of All Stars has been edited and especially how Latrice’s edit has been.

I love the All Stars format of the queens choosing who leaves. It makes All Stars different from regular Drag Race and it ups the stakes because (let’s be honest) 90% of the challenges we get on All Stars are terrible. I mean even worse than regular Drag Race. Also putting the choice in the queens’ hands and the back

As long as it mercifully ends the blah suckfest that has been Nico/Karolina I am all for Xavin being hotshotted into the show earlier than in the books. A stake needs to be driven into that mind-numbingly awful coupling’s heart as soon as humanly possible.

Oh, and cummon - Manila’s bondage bunny? Classic Manila.

Trinity’s version of Caitlyn was basically that she is a dude...a burly, grumpy, old dude. It was chuckle worthy but seemed a lot better because her competition was so mediocre.

I personally love Gia’s shit-stirring and will miss it because it seems so authentic coming from her. I was taken aback by her moments of vulnerability this episode especially when she said how hard it was to reconcile being a trans woman doing drag and how it messed with her psyche. That is something I have never

They should have just grabbed everyone from the Aretha tribute at Black Girls Rock to perform in this show.

I must have missed out, but is there some contingent of folks who hate SZA that I don’t know about?

Nico and Karolina separately are bearable but together it just becomes a black hole of awfulness.

Gert meets the guy she flirted with in the last season, a doofus named Earl. Combined with Chase briefly expressing interest in his boss at Pride in the last episode, it seems like their relationship really is done, which isn’t the worst thing. They’re going to be great exes.

I love when a racist asshole tosses in a line about how they are a POC to try and offset the awful shit they are saying.
