Cracker for me is very much one of those queens who is not good at Rupaul’s Drag Race, but is damn entertaining when she is in her element. Her Youtube videos are great. I think I would enjoy seeing her actual drag show. But her non-drag persona is not super conducive to this atmosphere. 

these judges really are on Blair St. Clair’s jock. they slobbered all over her for her runway look but then turned around and read Shea for what was essentially the same look, but pinker

If this season had two winners per challenge like AS2-AS4 did, Alexis would have several many wins. At the very least Snatch Game.

I don’t find fault for the loss taking a toll on her or making her doubt herself. That’s super common Drag Race redemption arc. It’s this underlining current that it was somehow not fair or that Sasha did something to her. I just personally prefer the queens who focus on their own game and not what someone else did to…

Seconding what everyone is saying - this really was Cracker’s episode. I’ve been very hard on her, both in her season and in this, and she may not be good at improv/naturally funny, but she’s a smart writer and this was right in her wheelhouse. Her earlier two wins were suspect (Jujubee should have won both of them)…

Fancy a song that demands a reveal... that I’ve seen queens in bars do before to bring the house down.

Yayyy Canada thread! Jeffrey is bloody creepy on his seductive face: he looks like a predator that is going to eat your heart with a smile, he is very mean and his only personality shown is “I am a hot enthusiastic gay man yayy!”. Which is better that I can say about Brooke Lynn, who totally disappears in the judge…

What I got is that the trauma comes not from losing to Sasha, but to assholes everywhere throwing petals at Shea because there are a huge proportion of Drag Race fans that took the "this is not best friend's race" to excuse their cruel and psychotic behaviour against some queens. But maybe I'm reading too much on this.

So, I’m guessing the phone call “ twist “ is the other girls coming back, right? Most boring AS season ever. Hopefully they take like, 5 years off before they do another one ( they won’t ). My faves - Jujubee>>>Cracker>Shea, but i’d be happy fine when this season is over any one of them tbh.

It was especially disappointing that “Super Freak” was not the lipsync song. I mean...it was the theme of the runway, people! And Shea was even channeling Rick James, even though she didn’t appear to know it! Argh.

I also think Juju should/could have won a few times that Cracker and others did. She’s still #1 in my book this season, sorry Shea >.>

I genuinely want Juju to be like “I’ve lost twice and I’m fine soooo....” lol. If she had been like injured or taken out of the competition, I’d be onboard, but she lost like everyone else on the show and she lost in one of the most epic lip syncs ever. It wasn’t Asia O’Hara with dead butterflies where there was some…

It’s true. It’s a pretty strange edit for someone who has also been set up as a frontrunner all season. I did, in fact, keep looking at Ru on the panel when Shea was milking (again) her S9 loss, but she was inscrutable. Still, it’s hard to fault Shea’s strategy when she’s been rewarded, repeatedly, by the judges for…

Shea has been coming across as very entitled for the last few episodes. It may just be the edit, but they keep pushing that she was somehow robbed on her season, and it’s like no, you lost just like every other All Star. I’ve always really liked her as a performer, but I’m liking her less as a contestant lately.

I don’t know if it’s just the show narrative they’re trying to construct, but the thread that Shea feels she was wrongly robbed of her crown in her season is not a great look and feels like it’s meant to undermine Sasha’s win. I get that Shea was the frontrunner, but Sasha won fair and square by giving a superior…

Cracker sent the only person she could home tonight; there was no choice. We’ve seen from previous seasons how immensely toxic the fanbase can become when the queens try to shake up the game by eliminating a real threat— there’s no way that any of the remaining queens are going to trade years of internet hate for a…

Not only was Fancy a terrible song performed underwhelmingly, but there was a very strange moment when the cameras cut away to Blair passionately lipsyncing the lyrics. It was particularly uncomfortable given the song’s subject and the backstory of Blair’s emotional reveal during her elimination. That...was a choice. 

Miz Cracker proves once and for all that wins don’t mean a thing anymore on drag race. How do you get 3 wins and still have such a ‘meh’ run?

I’m very glad they gave Alexis her flowers this week before that night ended but Shea’s comment about how she no longer has to watch her back has me feeling a tiny way?? It’s very clear she is stellar and is someone I want to see on television and that she is well respected for good reason but the whole show narrative…

Ok first of all, love Fancy, but bringing Kennedy for that song? No wonder she hates it.
