I only watched one episode last night. I just wish we got to see the full talent performances. 30 to 45 second snippets are just not enough.
I still don't like Rajah or Akeria. I didn't on s11 and still don't now.
I found the whole breast plate performance deeply unpleasant. It wasn't funny. It wasn't entertaining. It was bad.
Compared to some great singing from Jan and Eureka, it was not deserving of a win.
I remain firmly on Team Ginger. Though that entrance look was unforgivable.

Just watched the Blue Ball. Again the judging isn't making any sense to me.
Jan and Scarlet both turned far better looks than Rajah. Silky should not have been safe.
Ginger also under performed but not enough to be bottom 3/4
36 looks is just too much to remember properly. Too early in the season for a ball...
Lip sync was a gymnastics display not a performance of a song

The high definition isn’t doing a lot of them any favours. Some of the make up is appalling.

Any Michelle Visage fans, she is sat in for Elaine Paige today on her show on Radio 2. She is also sitting in next week.

Interesting this week, Trinity was probably my favourite but it’s nice to see Jan finally get some recognition/a win bless her. To be honest we didn’t see enough of each performance, how is it that the show runs for an hour but they still don’t have time to show more than 45 seconds each! Ginger’s really not delivering so far, very meh, it’s a shame. Kind of surprised they all voted Yara but her attitude really wasn’t fab, she didn’t fight to stay at all, so find it hard to feel too bad.

Yeah I agree Trinity did the best this week but Jan was close enough and her look was definitely better so I'm not mad at her win. This has honestly been such a good season though, the challenges have all been fun, the chemistry is great and I think everyone is doing really well. There's no clear front runner which makes it so exciting because I really have no idea who's going to make it to the end.

Jan deserved the Rusical win on her season. So there is some justice done here.
Yara is a queen I have never warmed to and so I am not sad to see her go. I don't think she deserved a return to All Stars.
Ginger does deserve another try. But isn't showing her full potential yet.
In other drag news Season 2 of DR Holland starts on 6th August....

I thought we might have a few months without a season of drag race this year but I guess not. There really is no off-season anymore, huh? |

I just looked it up (I've been avoiding the spoilers subreddit until now because I'm too invested in this season lmao) and yeah apparently it's happening, though I'm pretty disappointed in the rumoured line-up (I say rumoured but it's almost always accurate), a lot of recent winners where I would've loved to see some earlier ones that we haven't seen in a while, but I suppose the big-hitters aren't really gonna need to do another Drag Race season so it should have been expected. |

AS7 isn't filming this year. So the All Winners will take that schedule yep in 2022. Probably for the best. No doubt it will return for 2023

Rajah or Scarlet for the win ! Yes I've definitely settled on these two in the top 4, I love their newfound friendship and they're both bringing looks and energy. Trinity probably has been second strongest so far so should make it too but the final spot is anybody's game. This would definitely not have been who I predicted before the season started though! |

I’m afraid the season kind of lost its way a bit for me these past two weeks. Was a huge shame to see Scarlet go after doing brilliantly in Weeks 1, 2 and 4 without an ounce of recognition from the judges, and I feel sorry for Jan because Ru clearly just does not like her! Bit random giving Ginger the win as well but she slayed the lipsync, Eureka should have won last week and Ginger this week instead of Kylie in my opinion. On the subject of Kylie I really don’t get the hype, people seem to be living for her on twitter etc. but I find her a bit bland and meh besides always looking pretty/sexy on the runway. Sad for A’Keria going today but it was definitely her time, her looks were always flawless but in the challenges she just couldn’t hack it most of the time.

I didn't mind last week apart from the questionable judging, but this week the challenge was so dull and long and tough to sit through. Truly maybe the worst acting challenge on the show because it wasn't even a train wreck that was so bad it's good like something like Shakesqueer, no one was shockingly bad and the script was just completely lacking in any humour or sense so it was just a chore to sit through. I agree the judging was a bit questionable but, like last week with Ginger, the lip sync was worth Kylie's win, also no one really stood out because the material was trash so her winning wasn't that outlandish imo. Honestly, as a society we've grown past the need for scripted acting challenges on drag race, just axe them and make the queens write little skits, they're always funnier than whatever production can come up with anyway.

Ok so that was possibly one of the best episodes of All Stars EVAH!
Up until now I was worried that the whole "game within a game" thing could mean someone who had been eliminated early might end up back at the top without werking for it, but this format was a great idea.
Amazing that the team managed to keep it secret, what a great surprise.
I had a huge grin throughout the whole episode, fabulous stuff.

I wasn’t sure about the game within a game to begin with but as the episode went on I really found it entertaining. And I like that someone who left early on could come back into the competition but they were going to have to work a lot harder for it than someone who left more recently.

There were some truly iconic moments in that.
The guitar. The split body drag.
Silky turned it out.
They can't repeat this twist again though

*SPOILER*
Disappointing end to a mostly brilliant season in my opinion. Kylie was probably my least favourite of the final 4, and I really wish Trinity had made the final. Of who was left, a Ra’Jah or Ginger win would have made most sense to me, especially Ra’Jah who did so amazing basically every week, whereas I didn’t think Kylie’s win (for the acting challenge) was even deserved.

It was clear with the casting of the Brady Bunch special who was most likely to win. And it was also very clear that she had zero acting ability from the inadequate performance in that special. Lead character gave worst performance.
A cynic might suggest that Ru and the producers were seeking to atone for Ru's now infamous Guardian interview with this decision.
I just know that she isn't someone I would ever pay to see live. Whereas Ginger would tempt me to buy tickets.
Meh ending to a decent season overall.

Starts 23rd of September, there really is no rest from Drag Race right now!
Will be exciting to see Veronica Green back and to see Victoria Scone, the first cis-female drag queen the show has had.

Holland season 2 is ticking along nicely. Italy starts in November.
Canada season 2 has wrapped filming I think.
US S14 is in the can. As are the International version which was filmed back to back with UK s2 and the All Winners season which was filmed after US14.
There is also a Christmas special!
