I had an argument with my esposo about her diva act during the rehearsal. He was aggravated that she was wasting everyone's time, I thought it was completely brilliant and hilarious and on point.

Shangie's the one to beat, no doubt. It helps that she's loving great.

Ben is absolutely playing the game, too. She's trying to be the "terminally delightful" nice girl who plays fair to avoid painting a bullseye on her bosom, hence the chat with Morgan and her throwing the lipsynch against Shangela. Imagine if Ben won both of the first two lipsynchs, she's out the door as soon as she lands in the bottom two.

Ben's poised to Bianca the season, IF she wants to. I just think Shangela wants it more.

Shangela is so loving incisive. She's like a manipulation master. I love that she's back so loving much, she's always been one of my faves. That runway Rudemption was incredible.

Also gently caress off milk your Celine Dion was weird and bad, and your runway look was a) basic af and b) had nothing to do with the original look other than being a gown. Bad. I have no idea why Kennedy was in the bottom over her, I thought her runway and performance were so much better. I actually thought they were calling out the safe queens and got mad that Thorgy was safe, I was so convinced that Milk was in the bottom.

Thorgy trying to be cunning and using the alliance play against Ben was beautiful.
And yeah, Thorgy's stevie was too normal, Alaska did a whole Stevie Nicks themed drag comedy hour here a few years ago, where every time she moved or twirled, coke would come out of her wig. It was hysterical and still *extremely* Stevie Nicks. That was much more of a gimme than Celine Dion or even Janet Jackson. She was just making excuses after getting in her own head again.

Milk is deeply annoying but interesting-looking which is just what I thought of him in his original season.

Shangela is loving magnificent in so many ways.

Kennedy still occupies a place in my heart that I don't understand.

Kennedy’s lipsynch in the performance was so bad, she was almost like a puppet just flapping her mouth off cue. Her Janet outfit was good though.

5) I hear you.
Milk, I love how he takes chances but the Met Gala look was a dumb choice. Everyone else gave iconic looks, which was kind of the purpose of the entire performance. He never talked a lot on season 6 but wow, has he always been a brat or is this post-Marc Jacobs?

Oh my God, Dela is loving killlllling it.

I love how they tried to set Shangela up as a messy diva during rehearsal and then she gave us 120% NYE MiMi + a winning lip sync. If she's not top 3, I'll be upset.

Thorgy makes my brain hurt :( bye, girl.

I loved how Aja wore the 'you're perfect, you're beautiful' emoji littered shirt and now I want one. Her redemption look was the best.

I've never seen an episode of Big Brother but I'm glad Courtney finally won a TV show. She's incredibly smart and talented and needs an even bigger presence in this hosed up world.

Many of the girls seem to have grown a lot from their season, Aja in particular. Chi Chi is improved but still making some of the same mistakes (not cinching, wearing jazz shoes), Shangela has been performing nonstop since s2/3 and is really polished.

The only area where Milk seems to show growth is in her ego which is disappointing. I was really hoping she'd be top four and bring zany high-fashion stuff. She's really the only girl this season that does high-concept stuff.

All of her performances and looks so far have been really low-effort. Her velcro fashion lipsynch for the talent show was a cool concept but come on. If your theme is "fashion," give me some GOT DANG fashion, not weak posterboard crap. You've got the means, girl, and wasn't Milk the only queen to use the Pit Crew for their talent act? She could easily have had three separate and distinct actual outfits that the Pit Crew draped on her. What I got was a weak lipsynch about fashion, rather than her talent is fashion.

Sorry, I'm mad online, I was really rooting for Milk. But she's serving performances that would be weak on a regular season. This is All Stars, and AS3 has a very strong cast.

That was Kennedy Davenport on Season 7

Edit: For content, spoilered in case anyone hasn't seen the preview: I love the idea of another improv challenge outside of the snatch game. Based on the theme and the Bitchelor looks that they showed, I bet BenDeLaCreme is going to slay on this one too. Bebe and Milk will probably struggle though.

i think it probs depends on the other girls a lot but looks are often not totally as important as they seem.

bob has that wild x-factor that the judges love. adore d rarely looked amazing.or even conceptually interesting, but she was spunky and fun and made it to the 3rd place. charisma and watchability goes a really really long way.

I think season 8 was fairly weak, not as bad as 7 but there wasn't much in the way of strong all-around competitors. Bob's looks were pretty basic, I agree, but she won because of her humor and charisma. Look at the other top four from s8, Kim and Naomi are mostly look queens (though Naomi did turn it out with acting later in the season) and ChiChi is really good at dancing/lipsynching and has a lovely personality but not great in other respects.

Compare to All Stars 3. Ben and Shangie are great examples of very well-rounded queens. They can serve a look, act, do comedy, and perform (though Shangie is a more traditional lipsynch style while Ben hams it up for humor).

edit: and Trixie is well-rounded, too. I guess we'll see how Bebe does with acting and comedy challenges, she certainly has the charisma and can serve a look.

It depends on the season, but one of Bob's strengths is her ability to cruise through most challenges and not appear to feel pressure at all or get in her head, and she shares that trait with Bianca and Raja, for my money the GOATs. I can't see her actually winning any season but hers, but she'd do well in most if not all.
