I like the twist. The producers want another Naomi moment and are trying their damndest to get a frontrunner booted early.

I thought India was full of poo poo until Juju's deliberation scene. She had a good point about her acting ability.

But probably the most generous explanation is that Alexhem did float the idea to India without being aggressive about it. Then India interpreted it as a conspiracy.

Going off just the main episode, I feel like Alexis is being honest, and India is either playing a mind game or misunderstood something. Alexis was pretty clear that week about thinking Shea had some of the worst critiques of the bunch, and has been open about not wanting to eliminate Mariah or India. I don't think she was trying to get rid of a strong competitor personally.

If Alexis was trying to get rid of her best competition I honestly would expect her to just say it lmao

Either way I'm loving living for this drama and hope Untucked is as fun

Disagree, acting has nothing to do with a snatch game. Pathetic of India to attempt the fuckery. Why NOW? Why hadn't she told Shae before? We know why but if I was Shae, and I might be, I'd be asking her why she slept on that info for 3 weeks.

After talking poo poo about Alexis last week she goes and turns in a great snatch game, dang. Still, Shea and Juju put out all time great performances, I only wish they could have both won.

I'm wondering if they're holding footage for the end of season rehash that establishes who's full of poo poo here.

I would honestly love this more if Alexis was lying. Trying to take Shea out, successfully lying to the cast, and stirring up all this drama? I have to respect the hustle. The same with India, good for her for throwing a bitch under the bus instead of giving up.

Those were the first words out of my mouth as we were watching the episode last night!

Very interesting that the only alleged co-conspirator (Mayhem) is conveniently not there to confirm or deny. Cracker and Blair claimed they weren't involved, but...

Also, unless I missed something in Untucked (haven't gotten to watch this week's yet): I think some folks are assuming that, by choosing India's lipstick, Shea is confirming that she believes Alexis over India. But I don't think that's necessarily true! After all, Shea doesn't know who is lying, but she DOES know for a fact that India has been in the bottom all those times, so I would think she would pick India even if this conspiracy hadn't been brought up. I'm thinking Shea has her eye on sending Alexis home next.

I feel the same way. She didn't know who was telling the truth and so defaulted to track record. Either way this drama better continue, lol

I think you have a good point!! Alexis is definitely Shea's biggest competitor, but India has been barely skating by the last few eps and that snatch game was pretty....bad. I gotta say if I was in this competition I'd be kicking out the worst performing queens too, it seems like such a pain in the rear end to sit through other people's bad performances. ...but I feel like if Alexis doesn't win next week and Shea does (which might happen, it's a ball!!) she's toast.


Also Shea's looks this season have been loving phenomenal, truly some of my favorite runways I've seen. Crown her.

Big same. I think Shea didn't have enough time to weigh all the information and went with the easiest option on who to kick out. She's going to have her eye on Alexis from now on.

I think they were equally good. Shea was selling you Madonna's music video and Vanjie was selling me entertaintment.

Vanjie is not a LSA tho imho. I mean ffs she was sent home by Kalorie on her season. A LSA is supposed to be someone who clawed their way to the top half of the season despite being in the bottom all the time, damnit! I'm pretty sure the show's criteria however is 'was in LA while we shot this'.

Kameron and Peppermint are two of the rare late seasons queens I would argue are LSAs.

There are definitely queens with amazing track records who have the lip sync quality of an LSA as well, like Trinity for instance, but I personally wouldn't categorize them as one myself.

It's a silly thing for me to be annoyed by at any rate tho lmao

Mostly I'm just salty we haven't gotten Dida Ritz or TKB because those are the kinds of queens I think of when I hear LSA. People who should have gone home early but kept winning lip syncs.

e: can't wait to see how Bob defends his daughter while tearing down another dope Blair runway in this week of The Pit Stop

Also my gay conspiracy theory mind keeps telling me that all of the Pit Stop guests being winners this year might be leading to finally announcing an All Winners season and my heart is gna break when I'm wrong

If Bob talks poo poo about Blair's runway this week im gonna throw hands she looked amazing.

Actually I would say ALL of Blair's runways have been amazing so far. I know people weren't as into her 3-in-1 but I loved it, and I thought her camo look was really creative and looked great at her. Blair has come SUCH a long way from her original season it's pretty incredible. Her and Shea have been blowing me away this season.


Anyway here's the Pit Stop if you don't wanna go look for it

Yeah I thought this too - even if she believe India there's no question that India should go home based on performance.

e: And I absolutely agree that Blair has stepped her game up to a huge extent. I don't think she's done well enough in the challenges to win the crown, but every one of her runways has been excellent.

I think Blair has done well enough this season to be a lovely runner up in a less stacked All Stars. But she's up against the likes of Juju, Alexis and Shea so while I'd like to see her in the top 4 I imagine she'll probably be gone next week, unless someone cuts Alexis or Shea for a gag.

I think she's performed far better than Cracker but production clearly wants Cracker in the top.

We finally watched episode one of Canada, and as someone whose exposure to Canadian television is pretty much just Letterkenny...I was completely lost.

I am still absolutely baffled at the lip sync outcome. Lemon by no means made an rear end of herself, she did Fine, but...the winner? Really?

Edit: I was already rooting for Scarlett Bobo because I love me a good circus queen...then my partner pointed out Scarlett's Majora's Mask tattoo and I am now officially a stan.

The saddest thing about AS5 as we're all hype at... Alexis and India having a little argument and Shea "calling them out", which is weak as poo poo compared to Naomi murdering Manila the second she got the chance, Ben's self-elim, Phi Phi vs Alyssa etc. Honestly I am hoping one of Juju or Shea gets suddenly axed because otherwise the season's going to end in the way literally anyone could have predicted.

The subtitles are still pretty...suspect. But this gem from season 7 untucked got me good.
Context: Violet's tuck is tight as gently caress and she's sweating in latex so she says something about juicy pussy

We have a new addition to the list! During UK, the BBC iPlayer subtitled "To the moon" as "Do the move! Do the mooooooove! They're gonna take me away!" I didn't get a screencap of that one, but Season 9 got one that I can't even begin to hear

I completely disagree. This was more in the line of Kenya Michaels versus Latrice Royale singing Natural Woman. Vanjie didn't get the tone of the song at all. Vanjie was just leaping around the stage to a much faster song than what they were lip syncing to. While it was flashy, it was just wrong for the song. And her lip sync seemed off by a split second the entire time. Shea got it. Shea deserved that win.
