Nihonniboku posted:Do we know if there will be a live finale for All-Stars 2? Season 4 was the first to do a live finale after the winners of season 2 and 3 were leaked beforehand, but All-Stars 1 had a traditional finale. The bootlist had a top three without a specified winner. Now that the series is actually airing I don't want to go and check it for accuracy, but iirc it's been on point so far.

In a way, I kind of understand Alyssa's reasoning. Katya had been doing really well, but fell flat on her face this week, and on the other hand, Ginger had been consistent throughout, but hadn't really done anything to have an "all star" moment quite yet. Do you give someone a second chance to bounce back to great, or do you wait for someone to break through to great? To be fair though, I don't think Ginger should have been in the bottom anyway. She was alright, albeit "kinda there" at times (though I feel like that kind sums up her run?). I actually like Ginger more this season than I did during her original season.

Do you give someone a second chance to bounce back to great, or do you wait for someone to break through to great? I rewatched the episode again yesterday, and while Katya's runway look was not good, Ginger's was one of the worst in the history of Drag Race. I understand and agree with Alyssa's decision. Surely Ru has made her decision on who to eliminate before based on their history, and not just that specific challenge, especially if it's close or they've been up for elimination a few times already. It's going to bite Alyssa in the rear end. Also, I'm sooooooooooo excited for the return of Little Poundcake. That was amazing.

Ginger, Phi Phi, and Roxy should be the next to go anyway, regardless of the order. Katya doesn't do much for me, but it was not his time to go. There is virtually no chance that Rupaul doesn't know which lipsticks were picked.

I think Alaska is certainly the front runner right now. That being said, I thought Phi Phi killed the lip sync this week and should have won.

Really? Alaska did the lip synch in character. Way better than Phi. I did like Phi Phi talking mad poo poo while Alyssa was listening though.

It may have been because I was impressed by how much Phi Phi's lip syncing has improved, but I felt her take was a better fit to the song and she sold the illusion of actually singing for me. Alaska's lip synch was really good, so ultimately I'm not too upset, I just thought Phi Phi's was better. ![]()

Oh and while Alaska was really fun in the acting challenge I kinda felt she stole Jinkx's Bette Davis from the BotS snatch game performances.

That was a pretty fantastic episode. Lil Poundcake is the greatest return to television! I also absolutely loved the reveal of the eliminated queens behind the mirror. I was wondering when they were going to bring them back.

I miss mini challenges. I cannot believe nobody mentioned Detox's wig coming off in the acting scene, I thought for sure that would get pointed out by someone. I really appreciate how Alyssa is doing the elimination thing, it's what I've wanted the latter half of every season to be like. Do kinda bad in one challenge, but loving slay the rest? You get to stay over the person who's worn the same thing on the runway in a different color every week and hit the bottom twice. Yes I'm still bitter about DeLa. Does Todrick even have a personality?

curiousTerminal posted:I miss mini challenges. This. Plus they've crammed all the untucked content into the main show this season so the episodes move at a breakneck pace. And it's not even the fun untucked content. Everyone is good, but it all feels very perfunctory. garthoneeye posted:It may have been because I was impressed by how much Phi Phi's lip syncing has improved, but I felt her take was a better fit to the song and she sold the illusion of actually singing for me. Phi Phi gave a flawless performance of the song that any queen would love to deliver; but Alaska gave a performance only she could deliver. So while Phi Phi's lip sync was better (in a technical sense, at least), Alaska was more true to her legacy. Speaking of, the song choices have been much stronger this season. What is Todrick's appeal? Just in general? I tried watching some of his videos, and they all feel like MAD-tv sketches. PostsYouCanDanceTo fucked around with this message at 09:14 on Sep 16, 2016 |

Combed Thunderclap posted:Alaska and Roxxxy have since revealed that this apparent rant was actually just responses to producer questions off-screen. Even so, if you're going on television to rehabilitate your image, don't badmouth fan favorites on camera. Yes, the producers set her up, but there is a way to complain about people that doesn't make you come off as an rear end in a top hat and that's Phi Phi's biggest problem.

Alaska as Lil Poundcake was so good. Shame about Alyssa though. I don't think she would have had what it takes to win the crown, but she's so much fun to have around ![]() ![]()

and tbh I agree with Carson I could watch Alyssa be Alyssa all day I don't care if she's unpolished. same with Katya.

The biggest mistake Phi Phi made was coming back thinking they were going to give the show's greatest villain anything but the villain role. The second worst mistake she made was Tweeting about it. Just loving laugh it off and people get bored. Nobody shits on Kennedy Davenport for kicking off Katya anymore, because she never bought into it.

If I were invited back to a reality show and my main complaint was the editors making me look like the bad the first time, I would go out of my way to avoid giving them ammo the second time around. Just saying.

I'm not the hugest Phi Phi fan but, from Alaska + Roxxxy at Rosco's:quote:-when asked about phi phi's Edit, they BOTH supported phi phi. Alaska: phi phi's cool in real life, and they have a lot of fun together, but shady music makes anyone look evil (which she enjoys watching phi phi look evil on tv but it's not real life). Roxxxy: phi phi didn't just go in on Alyssa at the end of this episode, she was responding to questions that were asked of her that weren't aired. Girl is dumb as gently caress and has no concept of how she comes across, but I think she is kind of a victim of the reality TV machine more than anything, like Laganga.

When the queens went back into the workroom phiphi chatted about who she would have eliminated (Alyssa) and why. After all that shade, the eliminated queens were revealed to have been listening behind a double sided mirror (the one they'd all written their lipstick goodbye messages on).
