SHINee's back




Carlton Banks Teller posted:

So about that, I hear Jasmine left before holi-slay production was over but the internet rumormill just directs me to watching her live instagram story. I don't do insta. Can someone shed more light on that? I'm hesitant to google lest I get AS4 spoilers in the mix. I guess she was mad about Shangela running late throughout taping, but was that a body double for most or what? I mean jush did the drat "don't gently caress it up" with the bag on her head ...what was all that?

Jasmine had some issues with Shangela and Eureka. Shangie was late numerous times, I guess, which is weird for her tbh but Jasmine was having none of it. I guess Shangie apologized later (which Jasmine is not accepting at this time lmao) Eureka insisted on throwing a bunch of high kicks/etc into choreo everyone knew was supposed to be simple and quick, then complained about being tired for the rest of the day. Jasmine told her to just rest and chill out, sit tf down for a bit, then and Eureka started whining that Jasmine is skinny and doesn't get it. I guess Latrice had to step in to chill Eureka the gently caress out.

Guess this explains why there's like 0 Jasmine talking heads, and she didn't seem to be in the onesie number.

e: the eureka/jasmine thing has been known for a bit but specifics are new.

e2: sounds like jasmine was going thru some personal tragedies as well during the filming of AS4 and the special :(

That explains the no "cheesy explanation voiceover" for Jasmine's look, which was just confusing.

This was pretty dumb and fun.
Sonique looked amazing, Kim Chi was stunning, and I can't wait to see more of Latrice in All Stars.
Also very happy that Shawn Morales seems to be back again. :woof:

I don't know if the RuPaul and Michelle doubles were supposed to be clockable or not but that was buck wild.

Mayhem's runway ownt, and if it hadn't been a fully scripted episode she shoulda won. But she came to recite her lines lmao

e: also if anyone wants Jasmine's live (lmbo it's an hour) where she talks about why she left the Christmas special early:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCHuHY6ZpV8

God I love Jasmine Masters. Can All Stars 4 just be her and talking at the camera? I could (and often do) just throw her old lives on lmbo

lmao right at the beginning: she kept that fabric on her head during the lip sync b/c it hosed up her makeup and she didn't know the words anyway :discourse:

Porpoise noise continues.
Let me now have strong opinions about the queens returning for All-Stars 4:

First of all, I'm sorry. Gia Gunn only got invited back because she pointed out Ru's hypocrisy and general shittiness regarding the "no post-op people" statement. Sorry. She came off as really dumb in her season, and I don't think she brings much except fish. I'd MUCH rather see any other trans queen come back, if tokenism and excuses are the only motivation for casting. Much rather see Pep or Jiggly, because they are at least interesting.

Gia's bag can come back any time, though. Preferably into my closet.

miss u hula hoop baggo <3

Farrah Moan- Farrah's whining and anime girl-esque pouting actually strikes me as cute, but she better have some hidden depths.

Gia Gunn- Thank you for standing up to Rupaul. Not excited to see her work again, though I'm happy to eat my words later if she shows a bit more this time around.

Jasmine Masters- I always though Jasmine was probably hilarious, given the opportunity, so I'm excited to see what she has for us this time.

LATRICE loving EXCUSE BEAUTY ROYAAAALE- The last time I went to Werq, I was PISSED. Detox did the same exact routine she'd done the year before. So did Valentina. I waited in line for four hours to snag a good spot and they bring out this tired old poo poo? Then some queen decided to pick a fight with my husband and push me off the riser I was on because she wanted to stand in that exact spot (I'm 5'3 and her wig was GINORMOUS!) so basically my very shy and not-a-fan-of-drag husband was pretty unhappy.

Then Latrice came on. She sang her loving song AND she stomped the loving stage with color guard poo poo. Also, she was genuinely so happy and pleased and took more time than any queen to talk to the audience. My husband has a soft spot for her in general and he was like :unsmith: after she came on. Latrice is just such a beautiful human. I'm so happy to see her back.

Manila Luzon- YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Monet X Change- YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! I love her and I love her big blue glasses!

Monique Heart- YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Naomi Smalls- I love Naomi and look forward to seeing how her drag has matured.

Trinity Taylor- I think Trinity is an incredibly funny and talented queen, and really deserves to be back.

Valentina- I again feel like this is some kind of way for Ru to make up for bad press. Valentina was fantastic on the show, but again, who does the exact same performance in the exact same show every single year? No.


WINNER:
Valentina (if everyone else is lackluster)
or
Manila

Runners-Up:
Valentina (if she doesn't distinguish herself, but Ru wants to keep people sweet)
Trinity
Latrice

First elimination
Jasmine Masters



e: Am rewatching Season 7 and I actually love it? Miss Fame geeking out over chicken is so beautiful, and I absolutely loved Pearl vs. Trixie in the lip sync.

Katya should have won every single season btw.

- Trixie Mattel - All-Stars 3 - Winner

Can't wait to get drunk and watch this!


ALL OF THIS WORKS FOR ME.

"Sismas" had some unfortunate homophones sadly.

Also I'm no longer on board for Gia to do well after seeing this rolling stone panel where Jiggly shares a traumatic experience of being assaulted who doing sex work and Gia cuts in to ask if she "takes responsibility for putting herself in that situation". loving ignorant holy poo poo.

Sonique looked great, Michelle's mom dancing was excellent, and kimchis runway look was everything. Rupaul himself just came off as a walking pile of notes from the network imo.

Gia is honestly one of the absolute worst people possible to be a trans/gay/lgbt/drag rolemodel. Like she completely oozes bigot vibes and comes across as FYGM as hell. It’s cool she was able to transition and be happier and i’m all for her career but get Jiggly or Pep or hell Carman Carrera on there instead, all of them deserve the airtime more

Roscoe's is amazing for viewing parties, too :)

We ended up watching it at DS Tequila because we needed dinner, Sidetrack doesn't serve food, and as we were walking in, we saw that they were also going to show the special.

Fun special overall. I hadn't even noticed that Jasmine went missing part way through, she's never done anything for me.

The star of the special was definitely that Pit Crew member with the floppy curly hair who kept on stealing the camera from the queens.

Why the gently caress is this poo poo not called RuPaul's Slay Belles?

e: RuPaul mouths the words to her own songs during LSFYLs, but not when she's actually onstage doing the lipsync? Dang.

eee: This was a fine album promo imho.
