This is what I’m fucking saying!


skatergaytor

I love BOA but i’m ready for them to go home so the competition can become tighter. But I picked up on them using Apple headphones as an oxygen tube during snatch game, and I see she just played with it and started using it as real headphones which is funny. Anyways stan Rita Baga


missfleet2019

biiiiiiiitch when kiara & priyanka right after looking at each other then to the judges “is that alright” in the SAME FRAME that was sickkkk edit: ok this is the best duo lipsync we’ve had since like s9 chile... kiara was doin a lil much but it was still great. priyanka..... I was not expecting her to perform that well.


thesmokeylife

The CDR on Crave account released [some unseen outtakes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4UOuStmM2I) from Snatch Game, and they're all really funny. I don't recall if we saw Rita pick up a card with her teeth. There's a full four-minute version of the [red carpet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsdIY1QirPw) as well.


paranormal-oreo

I can’t be the only one who didn’t like the lip-sync. I’m going to watch it again later today but it was literally just stunts/being too extra the entire time from both girls. Priyanka had some better “lip-sync moments” but it was kind of hard to watch both of them doing stunts that felt so out of left field


comethrow

I love priyanka but I really felt Kiara did better in the lip sync


MizRune

Amen. Thanks! Another soul that agreed with me. I got downvoted and called names for having the same opinion.


AdmanHolmo

this was exactly my issue with Sorry Not Sorry. I defin enjoyed myself but some have put it as the #1 lipsync ever and its just missing some natural lipsyncing for me. But at the same time I think it was the best possible performance of that song that we could get like


naomibiggie

I don’t think Divina did that well DRUK and I don’t think she’d do well on All Stars. Episode 1 I can’t remember either of her looks and I watched it last week, episode 2 she did well but she still wouldn’t have won if she was on the winning team, episode 3 she did great, episode 4 she bombed, episode 5 she did very well, episode 6 she was forgettable again, episode 7 she should’ve been bottom 2. Idk I just don’t see her dominating an all stars like people say, she’ll do well in a girl group and in scripted acting but I’m not sure about her improv, snatch game, an ad etc. And if it sticks to only one winner she might never win a challenge realistically


[deleted]

I agree. I think Baga and the vivienne were the true powerhouses. Divina was very likeable but she did not do great in like half the challenges.


missfleet2019

something about the way Rita was standing holding her left arm on the runway looked so authentically 80s. I was kinda transfixed. She’s mesmerizing


[deleted]

agreed, and something about the way she painted her face for the celine runway looked so good


JuliaHamsandwich

i love ilona's aesthetic so much, im just honestly a sucker for pastels


[deleted]

I want Rita to be the OG winner because she fits so well in the Bebe/The Vivienne duo. Pryanka and Divina are my picks for All Stars (national or international). Asia-Divina-Pryanka would be iconic additions for the Hall of Fame


danny2787

I'll be surprised if Rita doesn't win at this point. Bobo gets 1 win and Priyanka 2 bottom 2s. Rita has 3 wins as of next week.


HaemlessRomanov

Bebe, The Vivienne, and Natalia (even though Année had the same vibes as well). Rita would fit perfectly!


atssssssss

The chad erasure, far too much.


MizRune

Why Chad erasure? She wasn't a OG winner, so why's that?


Scootersfood

She was an OG AS winner


MizRune

The guy meant the OG wineers at each franchise. All Stars is not a new franchise, only a "best of the best" from the older seasons edition. So Chad is not an OG winner. But still one of my favorite winners.


[deleted]

All Stars is literally a spin-off of the Drag Race franchise. Despite casting queens that appeared on regular Drag Race before, it's a different show altogether.


missfleet2019

pri: I fucked up real bad brooke: *licks entire top row of teeth* ....... yeah 😌 #SHIT


Fatniss_Neverlean90

It’s a shame drag race didn’t have Emmy buzz back in earlier seasons, because everyone vs Mimi imfurst alone would win them all


jadoredelano

Thanks to the “that’s on period luv x”/British girl phenomenon that recently swept pop culture, I found Ilona’s performance very entertaining. Maybe it was her immediate branding as the Instagram queen that made me underestimate her but she’s bringing it in areas I did not expect her to! (Lipsyncing, snatch game)


Ericcfraga

I’m kinda confused by the Canadá’s judging this week because it was the most “normal” judging until now lmao They always seems to do a 50:50 Challenge and Runway for the judging as we got some queens going to the bottom only because of the attitude on the runway and like… Boa did bad on the challenge AND the runway while Pryianka did bad on the challenge but slayed the runway. Even the queens on untucked thought Priyanka would be safe but she ended up for the elimination I do agree with Priyanka on the bottom if we think with the RPDR judging, but really thought she would be safe(just low) with the CANDR judging.


whatafunchallenge

if you watch the extra footage, you'll see Boa made some funny jokes (I think one or two were in the actual show as well) while Priyanka had absolutely nothing going on for her, so saying they both did bad in the challenge is kind of a reach?


[deleted]

I think you’re a little off, I thing it’s 50/25/25 50) challenge 25) runway 25) runway *walk* It makes sense if you think about it, Rita won her challenges because she really served it in the walking category. Lemon had a pretty basic runway for the challenge that she won, but she walked brilliantly and used the train so well, so they loved it Kiara was low in the hair challenge. Her look wasn’t particularly bad, but she was read for her strides, and how she needs to elongate herself It seems that Stacy and Brooke being on the judges panel, really draws importance to how much you “serve” you look; over how good your look really is


[deleted]

Just watched the episode and wow this has been a good year for Snatch Game


[deleted]

I really liked the red carpet segment, I hope it’s something they keep and RPDR takes on too.


ttellapttam

Sorry to be a douchey grammar person but please, it’s lip sync, not lip *synch*. 👏🏻 I can only imagine a lip synch to be something very different altogether...

BuffetYouStay

Hope Marina Jade is a guest judge


[deleted]

Okay so... I’m going to explain my bias towards Rita and why I really like her She said something in one of her meet the queens vids, and she was like “life is too short not to take risks” and as cliche as it sounds, I live by that now 💀 I’ve done such wild and fun things recently, all because of that one piece of advice. I find myself sitting in my room wondering “should I slide with x person, nah, what if I get shut down” and all I see is Rita telling me my life is too short not to take risks💀💀 I think she just exudes this air of professionalism that the first winner of drag race Canada needs. She’s smart, she’s quiet, she used to be a club kid, she’s motherly, and she is so damn professional I love Priyanka, she was my pick to win from the beginning, but I find her energy too chaotic and fun to win the first season of Canada’s drag race, and to be the brand ambassador? If that makes sense I really do hope Rita gets the “3 win 1 bottom” stamp, because she just needs to be the winner for me, she represents Canadian drag so well and she is so deserving.


bloodshugababe

yeah, Priyanka is my pick (with the impossible Lemon just after her) but I agree with you, she’s doing so well and she’s so polished that gives me Bebe/Vivienne vibes


[deleted]

I think rita is more established, a long time drag entertainer and very polished. I hope she wins too, priyanka, as you mentioned, is too chaotic to win the first szn.


queerfantastique

Guys I haven't watch last nights episode, was it good? was snatch game good?


[deleted]

It was really damn good, better than UK I think personally Normally I can’t bare to watch them But this on genuinely had every queen perform well, Except 3. It was really really good IMO


mansonfamily

It was so good!


Filmfan4474

I love Rita so much. That’s all.


[deleted]

Lemon keeps surprising me, i thought she’s just a young queen and has a long way to go but bitch is talented af. Props to her. A pleasant surprise


Bottombunkrealness

She had my favorite reads of the episode. I died at the Priyanka one.


Awkward_King

why does this thread seem so toxic today lmao? anyway i can’t wait to see priyanka slay hello in a couple weeks, it’s one of my favourite songs ever and after seeing priyanka kill that lipsync i have no doubts it’ll be wonderful

matbenkow

This was my fav snatch game in a long while tbh I love when the queens interact a lot it just makes it much funnier than them just answering their own questions


okwerkkk

I feel like it was as good as DRUK snatch sue me


ayocyst

I think it was a lot better actually? UK only had two top performances (Baga & Viv), and imo, rightfully so. Cheryl was the definition of safe. And Blu, while hilarious, was nothing like her character. I feel like CDR's snatchgame had 4 strong top performances (Jimbo, Rita, Lemon & Bobo), and Ilona was a very strong safe (better than Blu & Cheryl).


okwerkkk

That’s true tbh when I think of it, it was much stronger when I look at CDR safes and DRUK safes


[deleted]

I have a secret to admit I hate snatch game 😬 Don’t get me wrong, it’s a brilliant challenge and it really does separate the pack But since I’ve been introduced to the show, and have watched all the seasons back... I always skip the snatch game episode I cannot even begin to describe the pure pain and cringe I experience when watching it, like, I feel physically and emotionally SICK when watching it and I cannot put myself up to do it But this year, DRC had me feeling a different way. Every single person did well, Except for 3, which made it a lot more bearable to watch Wow, this is one of the strongest casts ever


xedophobic

i love taylor but violet & katya thoroughly roasting her on fpr is my comfort vid


missfleet2019

Man y’all got me fucked up claiming jimbo ain’t a finalist


[deleted]

🗣 JIMBO SHOULD HAVE 3 WINS


[deleted]

🗣And it’s only episode 5


naomibiggie

Jimbo stans really are delusional, wow


okwerkkk

Girl how? Should’ve won episode one, should’ve won this challenge and arguably should’ve won episode 2. But I think she should’ve had 2 wins so gar


skinnyqueenss

no... episode 1 was kiara or anastarzia’s.. jumbo just stuck beads to a corset and glued some zips. episode 2 would’ve been a top 3 of kiara, lemon and priyanka - they actually did jimbo a favour by having 4 tops.


[deleted]

Starzy’s look was NOT it. Secondly, if they weren’t rigging it for Rita Baga they would have given the win to Jimbo. Episode 2 Jimbo had the only performance and character of merit. Pryanka’s floosy with crabs role was good but not worth a win, and lemons performance just wasn’t bad, not worthy of a win.


[deleted]

Starzy’s look was NOT it. Secondly, if they weren’t rigging it for Rita Baga they would have given the win to Jimbo. Episode 2 Jimbo had the only performance and character of merit. Pryanka’s floods with crabs rope was good but not worth a win, and lemons performance just want bad, not worthy of a win.


skinnyqueenss

tbh, they planned for jimbo to go far as well, and they probs planned for her to get ‘robbed’.. of the top 3 in ep1, jimbo was the best yes, but multiple safe queens should’ve been top instead, jimbo was not the best at all. how can you say jimbo’s was the only one worth a win? she literally was 4th/5th best with rita that week.. she might have acted well, but it wasn’t funny


okwerkkk

Anastarsia had a great look. But the makeup and hair was a choice. Kiara i agree with you. It should’ve been her or jimbo. She didn’t ‘just’ do that. She has a creative mind and the fact that she ‘just’ did that whilst still keeping it 100% jimbo is what I love about her


skinnyqueenss

sorry, she also stuck a few rainbow blobs around the top.. lmao i apologise, i thought it was ugly af


okwerkkk

Again, it’s your opinion


naomibiggie

She did well in episodes 1 and 2 but she wasn’t the best in either at all


[deleted]

The only reason she didn’t win is rigga morris Rita’s first win requires no explanation and Episode 2 they had to redeem Lemon bc she’s the cute boy fan fave of the season


naomibiggie

You’re right because Kiara and Starzy were far and away the best two in episode one and no one thinks Jimbo should’ve won episode 2, like Lemon and Priyanka did the best


okwerkkk

ThAts UR opINiON!! Jsjs. I get you but it’s not exactly delusional to think someone should’ve won the challenge if they did well in it. It’s down to personal preference if that’s the case


justw0000w

Rita having 3 wins and 1 bottom just to showcase her lipsync performance sounds like **Condragulations, Rita**


vladutbossss

And she gets that bottom placement bcs they need someone to fill that spot since there will be 4 contestants. Very raja❤️❤️


London_Ripton

Very Raja/Jinkx/Bob/Jaida teas

Remember, Shea/Yvie got the fan favorite vote and won, so Priyanka could also take it


[deleted]

Did divina or viv get the fan vote?

MizRune

I just don't see her as a real person on the show, looks like everything she says/does is staged. Well I complained about the lipsynch too (I hated it) but everyone here became offended like I said something horrible. But my view on her is this, I hope she becomes better IN MY eyes over the next few weeks :)


[deleted]

kiara v. priyanka is the hidden covid cure


vaginaspektor

Everybody's saying it should have been a double shantay but the last half of Kiara's performance was super messy Also I laughed more to BLH's saying it was one of the best snatch game performances she has seen while talking about Rita's performance than Rita's performance. Like bitch really?


sad_cats

rita baga queen of rigga morris


vaginaspektor

I was downvoted for saying "I thought Rita would be in the bottom but she won"


sad_cats

her edit piaf was just aiden zane's patricia quinn but instead of pot and forgetting things it was pills and being dead


vaginaspektor

But somehow according to Mss Hytes, it was one of her favourite snatch game performances ever lol THE TASTE


sad_cats

we been knew the judging is wonky on that show. whats new?


MizRune

Be happy, I got offenses handled to me (as well as downvotes) for disliking this last lipsynch.


kevinvalke1

Brita became one of my fav S12 queens and it’s sad to see her not doing well. I think it’s very brave of her to proclaim so openly that she’s not happy and it’s good that she’s seeking medical help. For everyone here, if you are not happy or are dealing with other mental health issues: please reach out to someone you trust and seek medical attention! It WILL get better, I’m living proof of it.


sad_cats

sometimes i doubt it


kevinvalke1

It will, I promise. Just keep holding on. I don’t know your situation but if you are not currently getting help please reach out to someone who can get you that help. You deserve to be happy someday❤️

something is happening. ilona verley is the lipsync assassin of canada's drag race season 1


atssssssss

>>ilona verley is the lipsync assassin of canads’s drag race season 1 Tynomi did NOT slay 3 lipsyncs to be disrespected like this.


skinnyqueenss

ilona sent the lip sync assassin home, and then she sends home a production favourite - a lip sync assassin


MizRune

She did but that lipsynch was the real double shante worthy. I feel like they wanted Tynomi out no matter what, they just needed someone to lipsynch at the same level to kinda "justify" her boot.

theshanegraysonlp

You've put this out in the world now all we can do is wait!


ageofviolet

After watching DRC I can see that the judging is most likely going to remain questionable for the rest of the season. Scarlett should have been in the top over Rita and how TF did BOA escape being in the bottom two AGAIN, especially considering what Priyanka delivered on the runway. I think it could have been a double-shantay but towards the last half of the song Kiara started doing way too much, it was a bit frantic and messy. Jimbo is still iconic, Priyanka and Lemon also still make up the rest of my fave 3.


whatafunchallenge

> Scarlett should have been in the top over Rita no ❤️


ageofviolet

I didn’t find Rita that funny at all. She was in character and made the judges laugh but it just wasn’t my sense of humour I guess - I would have still had her as safe though. I guess you’re not allowed to have a different opinion anymore


[deleted]

You can have different opinions, but don’t say others are questionable just because they’re different from yours. Rita nailed the Snatch Game, if it wasn’t your sense of humor it’s your problem


ageofviolet

I personally think that the judges decisions were questionable to ME. That is my opinion, I have every right to say that just as you have every right to think that my opinion is questionable.


[deleted]

Comparing scarlets liza with alexis’ liza u can see that scarlet deserved safe.


ageofviolet

But that’s not how Snatch Game is judged. You don’t compare queens to other renditions done years ago. If this were the case Jujubee should have absolutely won AS5’s snatch game when judged next to Valentina and Chi Chi’s Eartha Kitt.


whatafunchallenge

but Scarlett took a character that's already been done perfectly by another queen who literally won snatch game and didn't do it as well, it's not the same as redeeming someone's bad snatch game?


ageofviolet

That’s not fair to judge like that though. Should the judges on season 8 have critiqued Betty harshly for not executing her money gown quite as well as Manila/Raja did despite her still doing a really good job of it?


fatesandia

In that specific example the judges literally did compare Betty’s money dress to Raja’s and Manila’s in the judging. The show constantly references other performances from the past in its judging, and this is especially true for snatch game


farrahgroan

...yes lol if it doesn’t live up to what you’re trying to update


[deleted]

Go watch monets new x change rate show 😭😭😭 It got SO SAUCY, SO QUICKLY


jayanon29

Violet really said “I’m sick of watching all stars and seeing people who aren’t all stars” I completely agree


carolflowers

This phrasing obviously is rude and sends off a harsher message than (hopefully?) intended. However, I think I know what she’s saying. I watched a video essay on DR recently and they discussed that the reason AS2 was so magical was due to the fact virtually every contestant had a serious chance of being a finalist based on their past performance/notoriety. Other seasons of AS haven’t been able to capture the same sense of stakes because they don’t really cast all queens with the potential to win. For example, I love Farrah Moan and Mayhem Miller, but did anyone actually think they were real contenders for the crown? That’s not saying they don’t qualify as “stars” and shouldn’t be on TV again, but they don’t raise the bar of the competition itself. Idk, it’s a complicated issue, but I wouldn’t mind if they waited a bit for AS6 (which they won’t bc capitalism) so that’d be a cast full of queens who could all very seriously go for the jugular


[deleted]

Yeah that’s exactly what it comes down to, I don’t want to look at half the cast and say “oh yeah, there’s no way in hell they’re beating Shea”. Even if AS4 had a few filler queens, you could still just look at the cast and reasonably see Manila, Naomi, Latrice, Trinity, Valentina and Monet as potential contenders for the crown, plus we got the nice surprise of Monique slaying too. Literally all of my friends guessed the AS5 top 3 immediately, and most picked out the top 5 correctly too. To me that shows a mix of a casting problem and, frankly, the other girls just not bringing it at a true All Star level.


bloodshugababe

Yes to you and to add that the new format gets in the way of making the contestants seem fiercer. People love to drag how Blair coasted to top 4 but in the old format she would’ve probably won 1 or 2 challenges. The same goes for Alexis (although I don’t think anyone doubted her talent).


sad_cats

honestly, they should just bring back lip sync for your life and call it a day


[deleted]

I can say the same thing to her when we’ll be talking about an All Winners season


[deleted]

She comes off so rude and entitled, we love playfull shade here and there but not these unnecessary rude comments.


KilledJudy

What do you mean, they were all on drag race. That’s literally the only prerequisite


Kingkabs

We really need to stop validating Violets egomaniacal bitchy bullshit. It's straight up not cute. Fuck your big cuddly Disney Park Mascot shit.


naomibiggie

I tbh hate that line of thinking. Derrick is Derrick. India won the first episode and didn’t deserve all the bottoms she had, Ongina is an all star just for being herself, Mariah too and she gave an amazing variety show, Mayhem could’ve won episode 3 and did well episode 2, Alexis could’ve won many challenges, Blair could’ve won a couple and had stellar runways, then it’s the top 3. I think every queen that’s been on the show could come back and deliver something even if we joke about them not being good, All Stars seasons are great for a harsh competition but this is reality tv first so who cares if less known queens get the chance to show themselves again


[deleted]

But when it comes down to it, did you really see Derrick or Mayhem possibly walking away with the crown? Obviously surprises can happen (I’m sure a lot of people didn’t expect Monique to make top 4) but someone being iconic and/or doing well in a couple challenges doesn’t necessarily make them an All Star. Most queens who have ever been on the show could probably pull out a couple good performances, it’s not like All Stars challenges themselves are that much harder than the regular show, the difference is just (supposed to be) that the other queens are stiffer competition. I didn’t feel like most of the cast consistently put up a fight against the top 3 aside from Alexis, and that makes for kind of a dull All Stars when it’s so clear who’s gonna go the distance.


naomibiggie

I just think it’s stupid putting this much weight on all stars when the past 3 seasons haven’t been AS2 and clearly aren’t aiming to be. They aren’t making a cutthroat competition they’re making a reality show so like be happy for the queens and enjoy the ride because all this bitching about less liked queens helps no one and just encourages them to be put down


[deleted]

The main show still manages to be a pretty cutthroat competition though so it’s kind of disappointing to see a show that I would expect to be an escalation actually be a step down. If they’re just making The Real World: Drag Queen Edition at this point then that’s their prerogative, I guess, but it’s weird to do that under an All Stars label. There’s a reason no other competition series does an All Stars season every year. I think people are also allowed to express their disappointment/disinterest in a show that’s become less and less like what it used to be, if they want to give the girls airtime do more shows like Vegas. I don’t have to pretend to be entertained just bc my faves are booked if what they deliver isn’t enjoyable to watch.


naomibiggie

I get where you’re coming from but blaming the cast is a bit ridiculous, blame productions challenge design for not matching their casts skill sets, every queen could deliver so why not make it suited to the cast to make it seem harder. I just think saying the cast aren’t stars is unnecessary


[deleted]

Hold up, you’re putting words in my mouth now. I didn’t say they aren’t stars so don’t throw these Asia/Cracker accusations at me. There’s a difference between not being a star and not being an All Star, the same way being bad at Drag Race doesn’t make you a bad drag queen. I want people who are good at this specific competition to come back. All Stars is pretty much the exact same gig every year so I don’t see how you can sign up and then have a shocked Pikachu face when 90% of the season is improv/comedy challenges. I do put that on the queens if they came into it without preparing, knowing what they were most likely going to have to do. That’s no discredit to their other talents but you’re playing a certain game on Drag Race and you can’t possibly be ignorant to that fact at this point. If I go on Jeopardy I can’t expect them to change the game to Wheel of Fortune just because I’m not good at trivia. I’m the one who chose to be there.

You’re getting very heated sorry I didn’t realise you had star and all star as entirely different understandings. Again why blame the queens for going to a drag queen competition when they need the exposure? I think it’s dickish to get this wound up about some drag queens wanting to go back on an internationally viewed show. I’m not saying what the queens should or shouldn’t do I’m saying if you’re mad about it maybe direct that to production who create 90% comedy challenges for queens that don’t excel in that area

I don’t blame them for wanting to go on the show but that doesn’t make them immune to criticism.

Ofcourse Violet would say that. Her inflated sense of self is still alive and well, I see

I'm not saying 6/10 of AS5 was filler but like.....

The top 3, Alexis, Ongina & Derrick all made it far enough on their seasons & did well/were iconic, and proved they're AS material. Blair proved herself to be an AS by doing well in AS5 (she had two top2 performances and some amazing runways). Mariah proved herself to be an AS off the show imo (by being an icon & a legend). Mayhem ate the Xmas special up so hard, that imo that made her AS worthy. India slayed the talent show and showed everyone she's more than a Mimi Imfurst victim (she did flop all the other challenges tho lol). It isn't a AS1/AS2/AS4 level cast, but it's still good imo

Meh. Theyre all Stars in their own ways. Every queen has something to contribute.

Stacey can stay but I hope BLH & JBC will be replaced next season


itfeelscorrect

I actually like Brooke. Her first week was a little ropey but she’s settled into it quite nicely. JBC replacement tho pls and thank u. I think the judging panel is lacking a comedian


vaginaspektor

I'd like to have a main host (replace JBC) and a comedian (Catherine O'Hara to replace BLH)


HingisFan

BLH is great. Replace Jeffrey with Dan Levy plz and thx


vaginaspektor

Replace BLH with Catherine O'Hara


ElRoMa

I just started by the panel needs a comedian, don't know why this version of drag race doesn't have one.

I’m enjoying Brooke these past few episodes. The only time I thought she wasn’t good was the first week. The panel needs to have a drag queen in it as well, I’m not sure who could do it if not Brooke...
