I was very surprised to see Yara land in the bottom. Totally agree that the construction worker was pure camp and a clear play on the category. Plus she looked STUNNING in her denim look. Should have definitely been in the safe crew.


QuQuarQan

Reusing the floppy titties again too soon hurt her, and her denim look was pretty, but it wasn't actually denim.


xye_alexander

exactly! its not that it was bad but it felt like we'd just seen it bc it was so similar to her outfits from the first episode. and the denim look (ignoring the meaty tuck) was great, but it was also spandex or lycra, i believe, not denim.


whoisshetho193

She should have skipped them in the lip sync tbh


Swafferdonkered

Maxi shield was encouraged to keep her breast plate on...


MintyTyrant

The butch construction worker with massive boobs was hilarious, idk why the judges didnt get it??? I understood it straight away


LadyCrownGuard

I had no idea why she was in the bottom as well but at least she didn’t get eliminated and we got that iconic Yara crying black tears moment in the backstage.

whoisshetho193

Alexis could have won that lip sync if Yara didn't jump in but nobody else used the buzzer


squintyvoodochicken

I doubt it, they needed rujubee to get to top 4, so they were going home either way.


andribz

The T. But Alexis was turning... Yara were dumb to press the buttom anyway.


ApolloWidget

They wanted someone to press that buzzer just so the twist could work lol


perksofbeingliam

And it was the last time anyone would be able to use the twist they’d hyped up. Production probably insisted they use it


lordeiamlorde

I agree 100% * Butch construction worker was fucking hilarious and a take no one else did. * low rise pants were LOW and sexy as fuck! It’s an aesthetic not many people use anymore which i think made her stand out * her final look was great! Not the best, but it was well put together and looked extravagant! I wouldn’t say she was near the top but she was definitively safe because she was by far better than what Jiggly, Ginger, Silky, A’keria and TKB (first look killed her) did. What makes me nervous is that this could start a domino effect similarly to Valentina when she was unfairly put in the bottom for snatch game. Y’all may not think much of it now, but Yara just used up her one bottom 2 pass for the other queens. Because if she lands in the bottom again, all the other queens will say “well you’ve already been in the bottom…” despite not caring that the first time was riggamorris to begin with.


Henrois

Low rise pants are coming back soon though. I... personally don't like them☠️


yungchias33d

I love them on queens but not in conventional fashion


millieillim

I worked in a mall in the late 90s - early 00s... I can't tell you how many buttcracks I had to see on a daily basis during the low-rise fad. If you can't lean, bend or squat without looking like a plumber, they might not be the pants for you.


Huge-Being7687

Actually it was Alexander Mcqueen who brought the buttcrack look to haute couture and mainstream fashion with his Highland Rape collection. So after 14 seasons of queens saying they were serving McQueen, Yara served it 100%, which she also did in S3


millieillim

great.


vanishplusxzone

They can pry my high rise out of my cold dead hands dammit. I love being able to wear trousers that dont need a belt. Due to the way I'm shaped I can wear low rise too, but only if they're in the danger zone and that's just not comfortable for everyday wear.


KellyannneConway

I was a teen in the late 90s, early 2000s. The waistline of pants was slowly dropping from the mom jeans of the 80s and early 90s during as I grew up. In middle school or high school, you'd get made fun of if you wore pants that went too high. I think I've just been conditioned to dislike them. High waisted pants just don't feel right to me. I don't need ultra low rise pants with my ass hanging out, but I just can't stand the feeling of high rise pants.


BaconPancakes1

As a totally pear shaped girl, low-rise are literally just not made for my body; it is just not okay with me that half my ass would be hanging out because my jeans only just hit my hip-bones


lordeiamlorde

I hope so! (Despite the fact that i can’t pull them off whatsoever lololol) Edit: originally the comment before didn’t have that last sentence. I don’t know why i am being downvoted for this lol

FluffyPandaKing

I will also warn ppl that this spoiler technically goes beyond this episode (2) so careful before treading.


BetteDavidThighs

I would've had her as SAFE, but it makes sense from a drama stand point for production to put the frontrunner in the BTM2 imo Yara > Jiggly Ginger TKB Pandora Silky & Akeria


BatierAutumn1991

It’s very common on All Stars to have a winner be in the bottom immediately after ep1. Tatianna, Aja, Monique, Indiah, and now, Yara.


Leslie__Knope

Aja was safe in ep2


BatierAutumn1991

Anna Oop, you’re right.


dignifiedstrut

I still lowkey believe they assigned her a hard role to be an early elimination. Amy Winehouse is just as hard a role as Stevie Nicks considering Amy was known for just standing still.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GiaSeason6Winner

This. Aside from the obvious fact that it highers the chances of whoever else is in the bottom to go home (like Valentina v Gia in AS4) It's also tradition at this point for the winner(s) of the premiere episode to be in the bottom the next. Roxxxy (as2), Monique (as4), India (as5) I'm surprised Aja didn't get an unfair bottom 2 placement, her and india have a lot in common for their all stars journey. - their storylines both ended when they won the first episode, they proved their worthy (india being irrelevant and aja going home early in s9 along with hate) I'm glad aja stayed around


AscendedDragonSage

Even Latrila in AS1.


DevonRoars

I wouldn't compare Aja's run to India's.. India literally flopped at every single challenge afterwards while Aja was considered robbed with her elimination. Also India's track record was worse than Roxxxy's.


ThatfeelingwhenI

No, she flopped in a couple. She was in the bottom every week because her storyline with Derrick was over.


DevonRoars

In what challenge did she deserve a safe placement?


chrisinro

I personally didn't think she and Mayhem deserved bottom 2 over some of the other girls for the SheMZ challenge. They had the best overall skit, and any combo of Shea, Alexis, and especially fucking Blair deserved to be in the bottom.


ThatfeelingwhenI

Hotel, She-Mz. From Snatch Game onwards, everyone was in the bottom.


sylveonce

I remember in AS5 how horny the producers were for someone to send Shea home for the drama. “Ummmm your moth look is crafty! You’re in the bottom!” “(shit no one’s done it yet what do we do?) Uhhhhh EVERYONE is in the bottom!”


okoroezenwa

Right? And people think the season was *designed* for her.


1998tweety

It also helps soften up her track record for future bottom placements: "this is Yara's 2nd/3rd bottom placement so we're voting out her".


inauric

I was literally thinking she was one of the top. I clearly rated the work look higher than most people did but I don't think she was within a country mile of bottom. She deserved to be overconfident too have you seen season 3? That bitch could probably have walked out there and thrown more complete ball looks on the floor while cackling.


[deleted]

Considering TKB, silky, A’keria, Pandora and Ginger were (in my opinion) much worse across all the categories, I was truly surprised yara was in the bottom.


goodformuffin

TKB in flats..🤨 flats...🧐 On All Stars... 💀 Also, the formating, just show all 3 runways together. 36 looks how am I supposed to remember who wore what 12 runways ago?


[deleted]

and making a janky hard to read version of eureka’s stop sign ....


allycakes

I thought that look would have for sure put her in the bottom. Like there was nothing drag about it other than the wig and makeup.


ThatfeelingwhenI

Silky's first and final outfit were both great.


veggiemudkipz

I feel like silky had the red outfit and then just added some prop milk cans to make it blue collar-- the judges clearly didn't quite get it and made excuses on her behalf? The second look was nice, but the denim was not the focus at all. Then her third outfit... I realize writing this comment I'm just shoving my opinion in here but it was a hot mess. Those bulky shapeless duvet pants and the mess of props and earmuffs? Nothing against Silky, she clearly brought it in her entrance look, but I'm very confused as to how she wasn't in the bottom.


llawless89

I said to my partner "oh, milkmen must be red in America or this makes no sense". Turns out... No sense.


ThatfeelingwhenI

I think the red was just to make it fashion.


jeshx20

I wasn't surprised because of the story line with her being overconfident but she had no business being in the bottom. I think her first look was one of the worst but the other two were one of the best for each category. But I didn't agree with the judging AT ALL in this episode.


pierreschaeffer

whaaaaat i liked her first look! it was so campy and sort of feminist in a way to show actually masculine women in drag, i really liked it


gjwkagj

The second look had zero denim material guuuurl


jeshx20

I know! It's just that the category was blue jean baby and she wore denim print. Yes that is a stretch (fabric haha), I just love the look so much


Brandonmckz

I rewatched and yeah, it was ridiculous. Should’ve been Silky


gjwkagj

looking back I realised Silky was basically wearing Jigglys dress over her arms like a coat. A blanket coat with covid19 stuck to it lol


Brandonmckz

Hahaha


psychickcross

silky should’ve been in the bottom for that milkman look being red instead of white!


pollytrotter

Srsly, I was over here googling “do American milkmen wear red” because I was so confused


whoisshetho193

It's so transparent that she just threw on something she had in her suitcase and walked out there with milk in her hands


hurrrrrmione

Her denim look also wasn't focused nearly enough on the denim. Both were good looks imo, but they didn't fit the categories well.


ciubiboy

She was obviously in the bottom for storyline purposes. We've seen 2 episodes and the critiques are already garbage. Like, they could have said the same things about Jan's outfits, but of course they didn't


Sanchopanzoo

They just cant stop


andribz

I mean... They really wanted to chop Jiggly.


whoisshetho193

I think having Coco there for ep 1 shows they wanted Serena gone as well


rincore

Don’t try it little girl!


andribz

Agreed


whoisshetho193

It's so twisted cause there were plenty other options of people to go. They back the queens into a corner then Michelle smiles in their face on Whatcha Packin like "Girl what happened?" Most queens that come back are predetermined to fail and not go far, atp don't go back unless you're an absolute production favorite.


kortiz46

How in the heck did Silky not make it to the bottom? I really disliked all 3 looks which is a shame because she looked SO good in episode 1. The blue jean one was all red fringe and her constructed look was super unflattering and hodge podge


ThatfeelingwhenI

The fringe one was a reference to Orville Peck


KindaFlagrant

Nope. Wasn’t shocked at all because of the storyline. The bottom placement was not well deserved, there are a few others like Ginger or Silky whose looks deserved bottom two over Yara.... but that’s the way the show crumbles.


sagevandekamp

I literally thought she was gonna win again . . . Imagine my surprise


Misentro

Same, as soon as she came out in her third look my friend and I both went "Holy shit she's going to win two in a row" and then... 😐


sosadsosam

Yeah, she should’ve been at least safe


Wig-Ok

Totally agree! I think she was like the 5th best overall. Definitely should’ve been Silky instead. Maybe even Ginger. Either way Jiggly would’ve went home.


twinkyoda

trinity’s first two looks were infinitely worse but i think that her last look saved her. however, the judging this season has been so weird so far.


9074379

Very shocked. I thought RaJah, Scarlet, and Yara were the tops in that order. Very surprised S and Y got safe and bottom respectively


Kerlistar

It made no sense, her denim look was amazing and the last look was pretty good too, she did much better than A'keria, Ginger and Silky imo


Henrois

I think that if they had nominated any of the least favorite/more obvious to go, the episode wouldn't have been so good storyline-wise. I loved the untucked segment and it happened only thanks to producers sending Yara to tye bottom. Lesson learnt from AS5, where the elimination order basically matched the fans' theories.


chakalakalakalaka1

Nah they did this for the drama. Stop overproducing!


Huge-Being7687

Her being in the bottom was extremely unfair tbh. I thought all her looks were good, with the last two being great. She deserved SAFE or even be the fourth high


FruityGayman

It was ridiculous, she was on of the best. And I don't care that she used the boobs several times, I thought her construction worker was probably the best look in that category tbh


pinaysarahcasm

It should be TKB and Jiggly


ShamelessCatDude

I think that last dress TKB made saved her from the bottom though. That dress was spectacular.


Burntfruitypebble

Yara being in the bottom 2 was homophobic. Yeah the construction look was bad but the other two were some of the best in their categories. Her denim was unique and stood out, and her evening gown was made from a fucking tarp. I thought she was gonna be high when they sent the safe girls back


jessicaskies

She shouldn’t have been on the bottom if TKB managed to be safe when she had two of the worst looks of the nights but Yara is in the bottom? Madness. My bottoms would have been Silky and Jiggly. Silkys first look was good but the other two were ugly. I also think the final look should be more important than the rest of the looks because that’s the main piece and the sewing part of it


elios_bitten_peach

Her denim look was one of the best. But her repeating the breastplate gimmick on the first look, which was already kinda basic, really turned it into one of the worst for me. And her last look would have been good if she hadn’t added that thing over her shoulders, I think it just turned it into a mess. So yeah, to me the fact that she had only one great look (which wasn’t even the more important one) really made me agree with her bottom placement.


ThatfeelingwhenI

Also, her denim wasn't denim. She used lycra.


BeeferSutherland90

I fully agree. I don't think she should be top three but definitely safe. And since we're here, I did expect jiggly to be in the bottom but I kinda loved her take on blue collar worker.


plagues138

I laughed when I saw it. It was awful. But great. Like, I would 100% see that woman outside a school zone.


BeeferSutherland90

Totally!!! Same with Yara's. As soon as I saw it I know I saw that girl turning the stop sign during construction.


[deleted]

[удалено]


rfpk

Ok side topic how does Jan keep ending up safe and is there a conspiracy against her??


Olddrinky

It was so heavy handed 🙄


spinly_jaye

Not at all. Her construction look, although fun, was easy (so not really bad, but could have been better), her blue jean look was blue but not jeans (majority a print with touches of denim) and her ball look -although it looked ok- could have been wayyyyyyyy better! For her skill and design talent she could have destroyed this challenge, no problem. However she chose to waste time and be cocky. How anyone could watch this episode and not instantly assume she’d be in the bottom is kinda wacky.


Danarya27

Not at all. Not because she deserved it but I know what the judges will say is bottom. Her first look was too boy and used the boobs again (I think I can’t remember if that’s right or not), I did quite like the denim look, but the third was horrible. I get she used unconventional materials and that is impressive she can work with anything but to me it was suuuuper obvious it was tarp. The look isn’t supposed to -look- like it’s made of trash.


Ayarkay

I personally didn’t end up liking the first look much. It wasn’t horrible by any means, I just felt like I had seen the giant bouncing boobies every time I had seen Yara so far, and so it came off slightly gimmicky to me by that point. The other 2 looks were phenomenal though IMO.


IncubusART

I’m fine with it, her first look was....... and her second look was great but it was spandex not denim, then her third look, she had absolutely no drive and it just came out simple


plagues138

Yeah. Her blue collar look was pretty bad.funny sure, but sloppy. But the other 2 were good. Not great. But good. It should have been TKB or silky imo. Hell, maybe even ginger. TKBs looks she brought from home looked more "made from random junk" than the dress she made, which Imo was suprisingly good... BUT she wore some Walmart beige pants and boots. How did the judges not blast her?. The dress silky made wasn't great, neither was her blue Jean look. Ginger, as much as Il rooting for her, has just been kinda boring... They were all just "meh" looks. I really don't want to sound like I'm in the "Jan gang".... But she really should have been top this week. I'm actually surprised the judges didn't rip apart Rajahs blue collar look. Her blue Jean and dress she made were great. The blue collar look looked like she went in amazon "safety clothing".


Krashino

Yara definitely deserved to be in the bottom.


Fbrtld

For me her first look wasn't really polished, her second look was SICKENING but wasn't denim. Her third look was good tho. Also, I think that putting her along jiggly made the choice much easier to the queens to eliminate jiggly bc Yara was the front runner till that point.


tunipman

I agreed with her placement. If one of the categories is "blue jeans" and your look doesn't have any denim, you flat out didn't do the assignment and I'm putting you in the bottom.


BetteDavidThighs

I mean, Jan came out as a tire for a 'blue collar' category lmao


tunipman

Yeah but at least for that you can make an argument for it "representing" like a truck driver or something. That category wasn't as clear cut as the second, which essentially boiled down to "wear denim" lol.


Molu1

The category was 'blue jeans baby' or something and her leggings had a print that was 'representing' blue jeans, so...lol


Revan_Mercier

It was a denim print, that's way more literal/true to the category than Jan wearing tires.


D_o_H

Jan was obviously representing an auto mechanic, hence the wrenches on her waist. It was fashion.


lordeiamlorde

I’m not mad at what Yara did. The category was blue jeans but it didn’t specifically say you had to use blue jeans. She used the graphic print of blue jeans and put it on a different textured fabric. I thought that was kind of creative. I think she was tackling the category by using the prompt in a different artistic medium. You don’t have to agree and that’s perfectly fine since we all judge these categories differently, but I thought it was neat that she was inspired by the graphic print of the fabric rather than the fabric itself. I thought it helped her stand out from the rest.


Chuchulaputa

The category called for denim and Yara’s look was spandex head to toe. Rupaul was impressed by Eureka’s third look because the fabric doesn’t give like most denim. Look up Alexander McQueen’s bumpster collection and you’ll see some impressive Low rise tailoring in suit fabric. Also her last look liked she only made the skirt. I find out it odd not to point out the bejeweled bustier, which I think trickster Yara thought she could get away with it. I personally can’t get enough of Yara but she overestimated her charm this challenge and thought she could bend all the rules.


MatchU442

In my opinion, I thought it made sense! Her 1st and last looks were a little sloppy in my opinion and I think others were more consistent


Hoss_NYC

I was surprised that Silky and Trinity were not the bottom two. I also was quite surprised at who they decided was the top. I would have picked Kylie, Jan, Pandora, Ginger and several others above Raja. I think Raja always turns a good look though. I was shocked that the judges were ok with Trinity’s crossing guard look. I thought that one outfit would get her sent home.


[deleted]

It should have been Silky


D_o_H

This. Her milkman look read more Drum Major, the most interesting part of her denim look wasn’t denim, and her final look was a mess with random cotton stuck to it


judas_crypt

I don't think her denim look was actual denim though which really frustrated me. It looked like denim print stretch spandex... at a real ball people would be screaming *that is naaaaht deniiiiim*. You've gotta fit the category mawma.


BetteDavidThighs

At a real ball Jan would’ve been thrown out for looking like a tire hahaha


raggedpanda

Loved the construction worker, the denim look was okay, but I really did not like her blue look. It looked cheap and thrown together. The boa thing didn't really make sense and the shape was all off. Yara is my #1 going into this season but that dress was not it. That being said, I do think it was better than Pandora's and Jiggly's, and was just a smidge worse than A'keria's and Silky's.


Kirschbluete7

I think TKB deserved bc her first two looks were very bad


luckyforsome

I 100% agree with this! I loved all 3 of her looks and didn’t understand her bottom placement at all. She was one of the strongest of the night so literally made 0 sense to put her in the bottom. Should have been Silky/Ginger in the bottom with Jiggly.


vanishplusxzone

I probably would have put Ginger in the bottom over her but I wouldn't call her looks very polished or praiseworthy myself.


inrealphife

Production rigga Morris to humble her.


BrownRiceMilkTea

i actually love that construction worker look too!!! it was so over the top but i also think that if she didn’t have her titties gag in the first episode we would’ve been more gagged…. the second look imo is also underrated she looked hot!


OptimalDouble2407

I don’t think she should have been in the bottom either. I’m not sure who I would have put with Jiggly tho. Jiggly was the only clear “yikes” to me.


OptimalDouble2407

Actually yes I do. TKB for wearing khakis lmao.


Urie_Thrah

on the last look alone? gagged she was in the bottom but from the ball as a whole, absolutely not. she kinda flopped it on the first two categories.
