I think they were referring to the triathlon guy who showed up in his swimgear.

I'd watch a drag Nailed It, but I don't know if a Drag Race episode is the best idea because the girls have to be home enough to practice baking.

How about Latrice as a judge instead?

I’m terrified that this season is gonna eat it’s own tail with Drag Race references.
Christmas Queens was way too self-referential and it would be a huge breath of fresh air if they’d cut that poo poo out.

...unless they’re all still hollering VAAAAANJIE because it’s kinda perfection.

Drag Race has been overly self referential since day one tho! It's why I lowkey get triggered when friends start it but watch it out of order lmbo

References are a huge part of drag but when the references are 90% Drag Race it’s kinda odd. Almost like they only have their own in-universe canon.

The show has always been a ton of references to past seasons tho, is what I meant. Like building challenges around referencing themselves.

It never stops.

There's a fine line between callbacks and saying ABSOLUTELY 900,000 times.

It feels kind of silly to complain about how the references lack an organic quality to them when we're talking about an artform dedicated to pure artifice, but I get it and kinda agree. :shrug:

All I know is Latrice is gonna be on my television soon and she's bringing Trinity and I'm honestly pretty jazzed about the whole thing.

Also that gay guy who showed up in his triatholon gear is cute as heck. I may be basic.

T B H yeah

there's just a lot of queens who I know can turn a goddamn look this All Stars and who have a lot of personality; counter that to AS3, where we all went in going "Oh, that's pleasant, that person's here again."

I feel like AS3 was mostly put together to cash in on the Trixie hype train, but this feels more like they just want to do another good-rear end season of talented queens kicking rear end.

I think someone said it earlier in the thread but a lot of AS3 felt like queens who were regarded by the fanbase as "gone too soon" or who got a raw deal (Milk, Ben, Trixie, Thorgy), but without much consideration for if the group would mix well/make for good TV (Trixie/Ben/Kennedy in particular can come across pretty flat/dry). This cast seems much more entertaining.

Dela would have been a great choice for an All Stars if other people in the season were on her level TBH. She can be a loving mess sometimes but every challenge with her was either "she wins instantly" or "she didn't want to try."

How many drag performers are on Dela's level at thinking on her feet, wit, aesthetics, acting, dancing, singing, being charismatic? In the USA? In the world? She's absolutely top notch at everything they measure on rpdr except for sewing, and I'm not sure who else is at that level who hasn't already won, so it feels weird to say "just find people on her level!"

I can't wait for the show, I'm attending a viewing with Ross Matthews, Ongina, and Detox and then going to drag shows until midnight :) Happy drag race season!

This season has a super strong cast, very excited!

Based on previous All Stars I'm assuming they're going to introduce some zany formatting ~twist~ probably with Manila and Latrice having special status. Like Latrila picking the lipstick for the bottom three girls or something, who knows, it will probably be dumb based on All Stars' track record but oh well, this cast rules!

Really hard for me to make predictions I love so many of the queens this season. If I had to guess, Jasmine Masters, Gia, and Farrah are early outs but I look forward to being surprised.

edit: and honestly I think Monet could go home early if she doesn't really step up her runway execution. She had a lot of good concepts but oh boy were the final products busted.

But weren't people always laughing AT Jasmine? While she was going for laughs, I never felt like what she was trying to go for is what people were connecting with.

Also, Jenifer Lewis is America's Sweetheart.

She's legit funny. Her poo poo is funny, she's a great comedic storyteller, but she leaned into what other people had already said was good rather than just being her authentic self.

Like yes, there's a element of hosed up racist dickheads who say "ha ha look at the black thinking they can joke" but the majority of us legit think she's hilarious.
