Thorgy's final look was...just awful to be honest! Betty continues to amaze me, high standard for the most part from Season 8.

There's been so many conflicting reports on who won Miss. C., I can't! ^^'

Rick_ · 13-05-2016 02:15PM

I have seen posts stating who won Miss C and receipts to prove it, along with other posters who were there and confirmed it, so unless they are really well faked, I'm pretty sure who won Miss C.

Ash885 · 13-05-2016 02:27PM

Cucu?

Rick_ · 13-05-2016 03:32PM

Yes. I'm 95% sure that's correct. Then again, who knows, we may have to just wait until the wee hours of Tuesday morning to find out!

mansize · 13-05-2016 03:41PM

I wasn't a fan of hers- but it would be deserved tbf

Ash885 · 13-05-2016 07:20PM

Same. I think the shadey editing that the other contender got towards the end really left no other option. Between those two really.

I think, judging by Reddit, it was a big conscious decision to reward her. After the show she was diagnosed with cancer and given her almost consistent upbeat attitude, it is a lovely reward to recieve.

Ash885 · 17-05-2016 03:35AM

Aaaaaand we have a winner....although at this early in the morning and the dodgey screaming live stream I was watching, Tempest could have won it.

Happy with the winner! Throughout the show it made the most sense. Still not really sure wtf Thorgy was thinking with that outfit! ^^'

Rick_ · 17-05-2016 10:07PM

Well I know who won now because Willam put it on Facebook. Still waiting on a 1080p uncensored upload before I watch (come on Faburash!)

I had my suspicions anyway who it was gonna be. Condragulations to her.

Reiketsu · 17-05-2016 10:21PM

I was able to watch a 720p torrent there. Had it spoiled for myself this morning on the way to work. I'm happy with the outcome though. I had no idea who I actually wanted to win! Acid Betty looked amazing at the finale. I really liked Thorgy's look. She wore a dress last night to the NYC crowning that was covered in patterns made from coloured rubber bands...I'd love to know what goes on in that head sometimes

Violet's look when she was crowning the winner was next level. Really extraordinary. Happy with the outcome, obvious as it was. Easily the most dynamic queen this season!

It was AMAZING. Blew me away.

mansize · 17-05-2016 10:54PM

Not surprised. Very much deserved.

Tony91 · 18-05-2016 11:24PM

I really enjoyed this season, overall, the winner truly deserved the crown. She was on game throughout the season. Looking forward to all stars now. Heading to Alyssa and Willam on Friday too, should be good!

Ash885 · 19-05-2016 12:48PM

Anyone who reads the *interesting* stuf on Reddit will see the Raven Vs. Bob thing has exploded. Raven's basically came out and said Bob didn't deserve the win in a very public manner and eh, the reaction has been pretty severe!

Alyssa and Willam on Friday should be gas alright!

Rick_ · 19-05-2016 02:47PM

Apparently there is a Tweet/FB post saying "F*k . Yo. Purse" and then a video of Raven explaining the situation.

The Tweet is here -

The video is here -

Ash885 · 19-05-2016 11:36PM

Well to be fair Raven's boyfriend posted a pretty scathing facebook message slating Bob right after Raven's. Subsequently deleted though. I don't know, it seems to be quite ugly right now. Sharon obviously stirring the pot on Twitter too.

But again, some of the Drag Race fans get very militant over these things. So can only imagine what Raven's been reading!

Rick_ · 20-05-2016 10:44AM

I can fully understand where Raven is coming from though, Drag Race fans take what they see as gospel and the editing on the show is mostly to blame. People still hate Phi Phi, Tyra and Roxxxy after all these years even though they have really stepped their pussies up and made amends for anything they themselves admitted was wrong. But the fans are savage and can take the tiniest of things and run with it. Raven has said she was joking, take that whatever way you want, but the reaction to it has been one of "typical obsessive fandom" in every aspect.

billion dollar baby · 20-05-2016 12:20PM

This is totally Raven though and anyone who calls themselves a 'fan' would clearly know what Raven is like. Watch a single episode of Photo Fashion Revue and you can see it's her style.

She's a shady drag queen and so what? That's her thing. Since when did people want their drag queens saccharine and PG?

She has nothing to apologise for.

mansize · 20-05-2016 12:25PM

People need to learn about tb editing too- I mean that show is edited to within an inch of its life.

Ash885 · 17-06-2016 09:30PM

All Star 2 line up ruvealed. Thoughts?

Disappointed Kelly didn't make the cut!

Tony91 · 17-06-2016 09:33PM

The queens for All Stars have been revealed...

Ash885 · 17-06-2016 11:14PM

^ snap haha, great minds!

IsMiseMyself · 18-06-2016 01:08AM

Great line up. Better queens than expected tbh, even if including Tatianna feels a bit random. Could do without Roxxy and Coco as well, but very happy with the rest. Alaska, Alyssa, Katya, and Adore are four of my all time faves - and Phi Phi has really won me over with her 365 days of drag project.

billion dollar baby · 18-06-2016 01:16PM

Bit gutted about the lack of Stacey Layne Matthews to be honest. Also feel a bit bad for Porkchop. She has been a big campaigner for this and I thought for sure she would be cast.

Surely this is Alaska's crown to lose?

18-06-2016 01:19PM

Replace Ginger with Trixie and Coco with April Carríon and I'd be gagged forever.
Rooting for Katya

Rick_ · 20-06-2016 10:02AM

Mostly happy with the line-up, even if it is a bit Season 5 heavy. Would have loved to have seen Ongina back. Don't rate Coco as a great all rounder so would have replaced her.

According to some posts on Reddit, some spoiler T has been let slip (may or may not be true):-

· Adore walks out due to cliques forming and her feeling threatened because of the twist below:-

· Ru picks a Top 2 and a Bottom 2 every episode. Instead of the Bottom 2 lip-syncing, the Top 2 do, and whoever wins gets to send whichever one of the Bottom 2 home that they want.

J_E · 20-06-2016 11:15AM

I'm seriously not buying anything Reddit may say since they also said Acid Betty stood and did nothing during a lipsync when in reality that never happened.

Rick_ · 20-06-2016 12:07PM

True, I'm only relaying what I read. I believe the person who posted that info also posted the rumoured cast list a good while ago and was correct so there could be some truth in it.

Ash885 · 20-06-2016 03:34PM

Or the rumour, which I sadly believed, that Acid Betty both assaulted someone and called Ru out on now doing her own drag for years. Haha on Reddit...

I hope that's not the format. They really ***ed up with the teams last time round, they should just follow the same format as the traditional seasons. It's more enjoyable, it works and it's "fairer", if that word exsists in reality television.

Rick_ · 20-06-2016 03:43PM

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).
