But this is All Stars, it's the motherf**kin' Olympics of drag, gurrr. I don't think they could have a normal season for AS2 when AS1 had a gimmick, otherwise people would be saying it is unfair and the twist/no twist could completely change who wins and who loses. If there wasn't teams, it could have been a completely different result for AS1, despite everyone saying it was only invented for Chad to win ('cos he about to die and Ru wanted him to be happy).

That remains one of the funniest things I ever watched online. Even Chad bust a nut laughing at it!

Someone posted the other day on Reddit had it not been for the teams, Manilla would be won it. So in hindsight, I'm pretty grateful they had teams :pac::D;)

If it wasn't for teams, I think Manila, Raven, Jujubee or Chad could have won it. Poor Raven, got so close twice and lost both times.

I'm really hoping that's not the concept for All Stars 2 and instead just false rumours.


Delighted with Sharon Needles and Alaska announced for Dragged Up in November.

what the hell!

Any good spot to watch the new season guys?

I've seen episode 1 of AS2... Oh. My. Gag! It's brilliant!

I can give you a link to a Google Drive, not sure if its against the rules or not, a mod can remove it if so.

You can stream/download it from here:-

Thanks a million that's great!

Tatianna has really stepped her pussy up this season. I'm impressed.

Brilliant episode but Michelle was an absolute bitch for no reason. Ugh.

I'm excited for this season

That was a joke of a critique by Visage, who excoriated the most talented qween up there for her clothes, when the goddamn challenge was supposed to be a talent show.

She prefaces her crit by saying 'well, if you are offended, get over it, and improve' and then 5 seconds later, she seems to take it as a slap in the face when the qween she lashed out of it DOESN'T act butthurt enough for her.

Would gladly see Visage go at this stage for stunts like this.

Two things I didnt like about AS2, Visage critique- unwarranted - it was a talent show and Adore showed far more talent than most, and that bit at the end, I mean... ¬¬

Totally agree. Bitch shocked me. I was rooting for her to win the first 10k, just for the plot twist, but obviously nah.

Hi Mansize - Are up to speed on the rumoured T as to why this may have been shoehorned in? I think I heard rumours as to why, but not sure if this has been confirmed :cool:

The autotune editing was really ****ty.

Rumour has it!

I wouldn't blame her for it either! (If we're on the same page)

But it'd ruin the season for you :D

mansize

I though Visage had already done that! Lol

billion dollar baby

Ah I think I know. Is this from the rumoured T that Alaska's ex boyfriend spilled?

Hunchback

Aye

Ah I still love ol' vinegar t*ts to be fair. Was prolly just a bit reactionary on my part earlier in the thread :rolleyes:

Reiketsu

Some of the T spilled by Alaska's ex doesn't match the information from other people.

His top 3 is different to what someone else has reported by one queen, he said that Alaska would be the one making the decision on who goes home in episode one, which didn't happen - she didn't want to send Coco home as she didn't want to see racist. The Adore T is looking likely.

I have never been a massive fan of Michelle as her critiques are always so flip floppy and what she applies to one queen doesn't apply to all of them. What she said to Adore though was so uncalled for. I get that this is All Stars but the critique was so personal.

mansize

Visage blows hot and cold and is more inconsistent than my shower!

And Ru Paul was always bsing about drag being more than just dressing up in women's high fashion

Visage just wants attention IMHO

mansize

No sign of Mz Delano at the VMA's...

Goodshape

It wouldn't be much good if the judges were all kind and sweet. Visage is just doing her job.


Great first episode, I thought.

Nothing she said was constructive, though. "Your hair is okay but I hate everything else" isn't critique, it's just a dumb insult.


I thought the episode was, although I would've put Detox in the bottom over Adore. Roxxxy really slayed.

Ash885

tbh great points in this thread. Ru started off drag where Adore is now. To insult it or say it's not high end is really an ignorant thing. I'm not Adore's biggest fan but she was committed in that challenge and as Roxy has come out on Twitter to say, should have been top/winner of it.

Also weird considering Michelle and her would have done tonnes of gigs/BOTS together. To bring that all up on television? A bit...tasteless.

Reiketsu

Detox also brought it up on the show and the amount of queens that defended Adore on twitter after it aired is quite telling. I can't remember which queen it was but one of them said it was a lot worse in person than what they actually ended up airing. This was all filmed a year ago and Adore says she and Michelle are fine but even at that it shouldn't have happened in the first place. Even if there were any personal issues at that time it shouldn't have impacted on her judging.

Rick_

I can understand Michelle being harsher as this is All Stars, so the bar is set a hell of a lot higher than a normal season, but I do think she was very tough on Adore. A lot of the queens have tweeted support for Adore and I think it was PhiPhi who said recently that it was a lot more harsh than what we saw, hence why she turned to another queen and whispered "oh my God!".

Anyway, Adore has tweeted that her and Michelle are fine. It's a TV show famous for it's drama and bitchyness, so let's not get too carried away!

Anyway, new episode tomorrow night in the US so I will be having my usual viewing party with some friends Friday night over some drinks, nibbles and plenty of shade! Bring it on!

mansize

Yeah at the end of the day it is a tv show 90% staged but Visage is as consistant as cottage cheese!

My problem is that she critiqued Adore as if it was a sewing challenge. Todrick just got it and his critique made the most sense; Adore could not have come out in a glam gown for that song or else Visage would have said that it didn't fit - she couldn't win.
Todrick said it best when he said that the voice was on point and the dress was Adores style.

Reiketsu

You know it's bad when Todrick Hall is the voice of reason

Can't wait for tonight's episode, looks like **** is going to hit the fan. Logo posted only a two minute preview rather than the usual 10ish minute one. Now to find some way to keep busy for the next 5 hours...
