That seems fair. She basically had a bathing suit and a novelty necklace. Of the safe queens, I was also less than impressed by Ginger. She always looks good, her looks just lack a certain creativity that the other queens seem to have. If we're grading on looks alone, she and Phi Phi were probably the worst to me.

They all looked stunning, but Tatianna's look definitely seemed the most pedestrian to me. At least Roxxxy had her spectacular cinching and twenty-pound hair to make her stand out.

I was super disappointed too and I wasn't even competing for a spot on the same show. I was a huge fan of Adore in her original season because of her spunky resilience and sense of humor even when she was being critiqued to pieces. In a way, it's worse to watch someone quit All Stars than the regular seasons. They…

Can I just say what a disappointment it was to watch Adore quit in the second episode? I was really rooting for her to snap back and show us the charm that got her brought back in the first place. I thought the critique was a bit harsh too, but gurl, get over it! Each challenge is a new chance to prove yourself.

I appreciate the depression arc for its ambition, I just didn't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the show when it was focused more on comedy. I'm sure it'll continue to pay off from a character development and possibly comedy standpoint, it just made a few of the episodes really hard to watch for me. It's hard to see a…

I felt the same way. For all the praise Gretchen's depression arc gets and as brave as I feel that decision was, it kind of detracted from one of the things I love so much about the show: its balance of humor and emotional effectiveness. It's really hard to make a show that's laugh-out-loud funny on a regular basis…

This trailer made me realize one of the things that really makes me love this show. Even though the main characters are total misanthropes who don't treat other people very well, you can tell they really enjoy each other's company and it's sweet to see their love for each other present itself that way through their…

I was pleasantly surprised too. It's great to see a more caring, compassionate side of Roxxxy that shows she doesn't automatically turn into a psycho, backstab-bot whenever she's in a drag competition.

The "Conjoined Twin" challenge and "Hey, let's bring back the first queen eliminated for being unmemorable and dull so we can break twitter" ass-pull were pretty much the two worst possible ways to play the twist. Maybe I'll come around if it's done well this time, but the two times it's been used recently haven't …

That's true. Any returning All Stars queen is going to put her second chance to much better use than any of the randos who've been brought back in previous seasons. When everyone's a deserving contestant, the issue I'll have is false hope. Coco is one of the few queens who I can watch walk away without a pang of…

I still think it's almost always a disappointing twist. Shangela was the only one I'm okay with and she seems to be a pretty divisive queen anyway.

It might've been. I really have no idea how much of a queen's persona is due to her own image-conscious savviness and how much of it is because a producer's whispering in her ear. I personally think it was Roxxxy's own idea after seeing how how much she played up her friendships with the other queens and how much time…

I always wonder how much the producers get to see behind the scenes. I kind of have to think they must at least see the talking heads when I see queens like Adore, Joslyn, Pearl, Miss Fame and Trixie who seem to go far more because of entertaining talking heads interviews than performance in the challenges.

I'm a woman who gets pretty easily offended by sexism and I love Drag Race. Drag would only be offensive if the people who were doing it were mocking women and they're not. In most cases, the drag persona is an alter-ego that allows the performer to be more confident and more comfortable in their own skin. I think…

I hated the returning queen twist from the past two seasons. Bringing back Naysha was completely pointless and Trixie's elimination/ resurrection just felt like a cheap ploy to keep both Pearl and Trixie around for the second half of the season. Once you've been eliminated, you should stay gone. It's weirdly stressful…

Roxxxy especially seemed like an entirely different person this season. Unlike Sava, I really like that she touched base with each queen before deciding who to eliminate and didn't even consider booting someone who might be competition down the line. She seemed very confident and empathetic this season and had fun…

Tatiana was the one who came for Tyra the most, but it seemed to me that Jujubee and Raven weren't really having it with Tyra by the end (though in Raven's case, she was a bit too busy fighting with Tatiana to take Tyra to task for her horrible attitude and pedestrian pageant drag. I rewatched season two a few months…
