The only reason that last scene at least sort of worked is that the music choice at least sort of worked.

I think their timing was exactly right because pissed off Michaela is the worst possible person to have sitting on the jury. And she was a huge post-merge threat given that the last couple of episodes were the "wow, Michaela is awesome at everything" show.

Millenials vs Gen X is pretty much the worst theme imaginable and Probst constantly trying to hammer that home was easily the worst part of this so far enjoyable season. That is, up until tonight. Jeff's ideas about what each generation is like are getting so bizarre now they're entertaining in their own way.

https://www.youtube.com/use… also Sunday's youtube channel is perfect in all its campy church lady glory (I expected her to be a bigger part of this season, honestly)

This was actually really cool. Even Caroline/Alaric/kids stuff was way more tolerable than it was last year.

I've been totally gagged by All Stars but I sort of wish we could go back to the time before All Stars when Alaska was likeable and Roxxxy wasn't the queen with the record amount of bottom placements

Honestly I wouldn't mind if future All Stars changed format to a "second chance" type of thing where they put contestants who they feel didn't show their best the first time around. I don't think it needs to be a "finalists and fan favorites" type of gig every time.

Pandora deserved it. Max was shocking given previous record, but he bombed so substantially he earned it. Trixie didn't deserve it the first time and got fucked over by assignments the second time, but she still spent her second chance being ok at best, so no love lost there (I love her, but she wasn't particularly…

Well, up until this episode her and Detox had pretty much the same score?

Meh, I'm not willing to shit on Steve Grand because there is a thousand artists just as or more uninspired than him and I don't think he should be singled out just because he sings about dudes.

I think that Alaska knew what she was doing with not really writing anything complicated for the challenge - we've seen that she could do that and we've also seen that Alyssa would never pull an actual scripted comedy performance off. What they ended up doing might have been a bit low effort, but it played to…

Yeah, this. And the Derrick Barry comparison is less than valid given that Phi Phi had an idea for both of the looks and actually painted a great face. Derrick's ruveal was a suburban mom who got tickets to the opera revealing to her best friend whose husband is a dentist.

Honestly I think she did a great job this week on both the runway and in the acting challenge. I feel like the review and comments are trying really hard to pin the awful script on her, but she took the nothing she was given and imbued it with a great physicality and characterization. (Also, if people can't enjoy the…

I think Ginger ultimately fell victim to the producers casting her as filler and not managing to break out of that role. She did well episode 1, the five seconds we got to see of her Snatch Game were great and she didn't even deserve the bottom placement this episode (though I admit her runway look was godawful).

About the miscasting - apparently Diana was originally assigned to Tati, who was then told to change to Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc is a role I can see Katya playing.

Yeah, but these things make me like Violet more, she doesn't really give a fuck about what most of the world thinks about her and doesn't give pageant answers when expected.

(Not my personal opinion, I like that she won. She broke the tradition of comedy-oriented queens getting crowned and demonstrated that there is not one clear way to be a great drag queen.)

Tyra's drag on her season was not pedestrian, though. Not even close. She might not have had a great attitude off-stage and she might have been a horrible team player, but she was polished as hell, knew what she was doing, performed well when she had to, showed a lot of devotion to what she was doing (remember when…

Not necessarily true. Juju and Pandora at least had Tati's back on that one, maybe even Sahara (I'm not quite sure on that one). The only ones who didn't back her up were Raven and Morgan.

There's also speculation that Ru *really* wanted Kennedy to at least get top 3 in season 7 and when that didn't happen, he kind of just said fuck it. It would also explain why it seemed that there were two competing factions in production, one of which wanted Ginger to win and the other wanted her to be the villain.
