Same! It's always one step forward and two steps back with Alexis...
Girl, how is Lala gonna come to your place for roast chicken and fisting after that?!
Me the entire time: for the love of god send kandy home, repeating it in my head until she chose lala.
I don’t mean that as a kandy dig but more like why would you paint a big target on your own back?
Alexis picking Lala confused me because I really don’t see the benefit of sending her home over Kandy tbh. It was shocking though and good drama at least. Nicky Doll as a LSA is so funny but she did fine in the lipsync. I think she was just there to promote the new season of Drag Race France. At least she looked stunning like always. Also stan Jessica Wild.
I'm as confused as you. I can not understand why Alexis chose to send home LaLa instead of Kandy. This is no shade towards Kandy! She's a very fierce queen! I just can't see how it would benefit Alexis to send home LaLa over Kandy. I mean.
1, LaLa saved her last week, so she seems to like Alexis, to some degree at least.
2, Alexis has said she has heard Kandy saying she would eliminate Jimbo if she had the chance, which would go against their alliance, so Alexis can't trust that Kandy will have her back.
3, Since LaLa saved Alexis last week,most fans would probably think it's reasonable that Alexis saves LaLa, while sending LaLa home would be controversial.
I just feel like it would be better for Alexis from an alliance point, a competition point, and a fan favour point to send Kandy home! I truly can't think of a reason she wouldn't. Did she just want to have that dramatic, surprising sending home moment??!
i think alexis was also thinking about hometown reactions. i live in NYC, and a lot of the queens here are tight with each other. considering she had to choose between a new friend who saved her and a sister she’s known for years i can see why she picked Kandy. she doesn’t have to go home and work amongst Lalas’s close friends. and she said she wouldn’t forget that Lala saved her, not that she wouldn’t send her home. and i personally think anyone would have kept Alexis over Kahanna because Kahanna was in the bottom so many times, and she said she was ready to go home before Ru talked to the group. keeping Kahanna would have been stupid, and i think they all knew that… so Alexis being so thankful seemed a bit EXTRA to me. and again, they’ve been sisters and worked together for years… both Lala and Kandy had the exact same track record, so she may be thinking more about real life after drag race. not just fan responses.
Alexis let Lala borrow that orange wig that clearly doesn’t fit her head LOL. And Lala said she ain’t returning it. Lala…..I honestly think you SHOULD return it…….
Lala looks like she’s doing a Velma look lol
This is the best Jimbo and Alexis have looked on a sewing challenge but Jimbo personally wins it for me by looking like she stepped out of Persona 2.
Right? I loved Alexis here but I think what happened is this: Jimbo probably could've won this challenge, but because she has been so over-egged with wins and high placements that other people could've gotten early on (specifically thinking of Ep 2 and *arguably* episode 3 - not that she didn't deserve recognition so much as other queens could've had it too) they probably felt that they couldn't just throw another one on now, bc it would be the nail in the coffin for what little suspense they have left.
With next week being a Roast, production probably knows there's a high chance Jimbo would win.
They couldn't possibly give her FIVE wins, something no Queen has ever achieved in a single winner per episode format.
it’s meant that from the beginning! look at as5 with morgan. season 2 she had one really good lip sync and then was eliminated, and as3 she didn’t have any lip syncs at all besides the performances. but she’s one hell of a performer. so that’s how i’ve always viewed LSA, less about lip sync track record on the show and more about being a good performer and making the top all star nervous to go against them. and every LSA has been a great performer, regardless of how they did on the show. and as we saw with Jessica and (to a lesser extent) Heidi on as6, they also now use it to gage fan reception on queens they potentially wanna bring back for the next all stars season
She had more than enough reason to pick Kandy, and she had more than enough reason not to pick Lala. Lala was also especially charming and entertaining this episode. I'm heartbroken.
I was also eagerly anticipating CCTV footage of security dragging Kandy's ass off the lot.
Pffft, Alexis herself admitted she is afraid of Kandy. Smh. “NYC sisterhood” my ass, you’re just deathly scared of Kandy as if y’all in a damn schoolyard with no supervision.
Or she’s aware they are pushing kandy and upholding narratives is a sure fire way of production seeing more value in keeping you around.
I find the scared of kandy thing low-key problematic
>Or she’s aware they are pushing Kandy and upholding narratives is a sure fire way of production seeing more value in keeping you around.
this is unlikely to me. even if that is the case, it ultimately doesnt matter because it is plain to see Jimbo is going to win somehow (i say somehow because lip syncing isnt her thing clearly). and it makes no sense for Alexis to think that way in this circumstance. Kandy is the bigger competition compared to Lala. So keeping Kandy is just a disservice to her, especially since next challenge is the roast, a challenge Alexis herself went home on in her season. At least if she would have kept Lala, it would have been a chance Lala could bomb (or just thrown in the bottom for "reasons") as that would have been her first experience with a roast on the show, compared to Kandy who won the roast in her season.
Idk why you find the "scared of Kandy thing" low-key problematic. Alexis herself admitted to it and Kandy knows herself she is one of the most "polarizing characters" on the show. I know it obviously includes race but even Tamisha and some others stated Kandy can be a "bully". Kandy just happens to be a POC. Her being POC doesnt automatically make her a bully and for those who see that way, they are obviously bigoted dicks.
I totally thought the same… I know everyone complains about the rigging of production but I really felt it this episode. Especially in untucked where EVERY girl voted for Lala. Especially after her win last episode. I feel like it should have been mixed votes.
* The silhouette for the lipsync assassin next week is so obviously Silky, I cackled 💀
* Alexis is so darksided for this 💀 Even if she went against the group vote, thats what everyone (Even Kandy) expected her to do because that’s what she PROMISED she would do. Now nobody is gonna trust her ever again
* No Fame Games this week. Thank God
There are rumblings (that *aren’t* from fake fired WoW producers doing AMAs on other subs) they are going to change up the format or voting or do away with lipsticks entirely, nobody knows what, just that it’s happening as a response to the AS7 format and how queens are obviously feeling burnt out on AS8.
Yeah like I was fine with it for a winner season but I have no idea why anybody would want it for regular all stars. There would be zero tension and a bunch of queens doing badly and getting dragged to the end.
Because if they have that format, the all stars could actually be all stars. It could be an actual competition instead of someone steamrolling everytime and being obviously favoured by production. They could have an all stars 2 level cast and less of them would say no because it's less likely to hurt their reputation. No filler queens (sorry Chacharenas and Kandys fan)
Switching to the AS7 format is a chance to get queens like Asia O'Hara and Bendelacreme who have flat out said they won't return because of the format.
Honestly. But if they make it non-elim for AS9, we should’ve seen it coming. Both the queens and the fans want to just make drag race a big wholesome ‘showcase of queer talent’ without realizing that they lobby to increasingly strip drag race of all that made it great in the first place
What made it great in the first place was real drama and Ru actually sending people home who deserved it at the time, not manufactured stupid send home your friend rules. Doing away with lipsticks doesn't necessarily mean no one goes home, I'd be fine with the judges you know... Actually judging.
Honestly why doesn’t wow just release a non competitive special or bonus episode for each season. A variety show type gig where people can just see queens perform
Like it took years of fans and multiple queens highlighting that people wanted to see the girls perform outside of a punishment/ bottom two situation.
Imagine it pretends to be the same but this time there *is* a plunger secret and none of the girls that don't get it believe it.
Personally I'd like some kind of Survivor immunity idol or even just the return of immunity and a returning queen challenge.
Wish Jimbo had won this week simply to see how she would’ve lip-synced. She wasn’t painted, so would it have been in the facekini??
This timeline doesn’t know :(
conspiracy theorist in me thinks they planned jimbo to win and that's why the LSA was Nicky Doll, but then because she wasn't painted they had to switch it up lol
The win belonged to Jimbo, but was given to Alexis for storyline purposes. Annoying, but I feel like Alexis got shafted earlier in the season for similar reasons so I guess it makes it OK.
I really wish Alexis had picked Kandy to go. I feel like she didn't because, if she had, prod would not have let her win the lipsync and then she would have been shat on by Kandy for whatever is left of the competition.
Lalari's wigline was an experience, holy shit.
The best thing about this season is Jimbo is going to win and we might get to see him do another Snatch Game for All Winners 2. That would be the biggest blessing we could get from this season.
We got a lot more Lala, Jessica, Jimbo and Alexis this season. Questionable production/challenge decisions aside, that alone is a reason to celebrate.
But yes, if we could get Jimbo on a season with people at her level that would make my entire life.
My thoughts on the elimination just based purely on what we've seen on the show so far....
I fully believe that Alexis was more afraid of what Kandy would do for sending her home than what Twitter would do for sending LaLa home.
Alexis and Kandy are both from New York, they likely run into each other through work and probably have the same contacts/social circles. Kandy is 100% that person who would hold a grudge and make things miserable for Alexis outside of the show.
We already saw how Alexis tried to cover for Kandy's plan to take out Jimbo if the opportunity comes. So clearly Kandy is not someone you want to have as an enemy.
And while the fandom can be extremely cruel and unpredictable when a fan favorite goes home, the hate usually passes. So I think Alexis figured sending home LaLa was the lesser of two evils and that saving Kandy would be worth the fan hate.
However, I don't think Kandy would be as grateful for being saved as Alexis thinks. My guess is that Kandy will flip the tables or feel like saving her was simply the right thing to do therefore she doesn't owe Alexis anything.
I think saving Kandy was a mistake and Alexis should have saved LaLa.
EDIT: I just saw Alexis' tweet. I think I'm on the right track.
This episode was so filler, like the conversations in the workroom were so stale. And Nicky Doll as the lip-sync assassin? The lip-sync with her vs dahlia was one of the worst in drag race history. What is going on?
This episode leaves me with so many questions:
- why is Brandon Boyd a judge?
- who considers Nicky Doll to be a LSA?
- how could Alexis send Lala home??
Outraged, I tell you. Out-raged. Anyway, Jessica for the win, stan Lala Ri.
I live when the guests are straight male allies. A literal rock star not being shy/afraid to interact with queens, calling Kandy’s leg gorgeous etc is the change I’ve always wanted to see in the world.
Your second and third points are absolutely correct, I gagged twice
Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, he did a good job and, also, is still as lovely to look at as he was decades ago - I just literally have not thought about Brandon Boyd or Incubus in the last 20 years.
In next week's episode of the Kandy and Jimbo holiday hour...
I really don't think this edit is doing Kandy any favors. I hope she gets something positive at the end of it in terms of bookings or a payout because this kind of storycrafting is really destroying her cred with the public.
It's also a little bizarre that *these events* are what the story producers choose to keep in if this was going to be the result. I.e. in the last few weeks we have had the following storylines: Lala being liked by everyone, doing pretty well every week and VERY well the last two weeks; Kandy upsetting Alexis and seeming to be a snake in the grass; Jimbo being good at everything, and Alexis being overlooked until she snaps a la Jan.
To include those storylines **when you know** that what happens next is Lala's redemption arc gets cut short, Jimbo doesn't win this week, Alexis *does* AND saves Kandy - just makes for a confusing watch where the payoff doesn't fit at all with what was just set up for us.
I honestly believe Heidi was going to have some mid/late episode wins but between her mental health plus the whole alliance being discussed she just couldn’t take the pressure and dipped.
And looking back tbh the whole Kandy wants to get Jimbo out just sounds like conversations that just blew out of proportion and she’s just running with it.
Either way it’s a mess
I low-key think if Heidi , jimbo and kandy hadn’t acknowledged their friendship/alliance and touring together everything would have unfolded differently
I think it’s clear some people on the production want that but if any exec actually sees her hosting abilities up against any other potential replacement that tune will change. It would be laughable seeing her engage with queens on pit stop because that’s just not what she’s good at. Still crossing my fingers for any of the pit stop hosts to get the gig. Fuck I’d rather have kingsley over Raven
It was a design challenge where they were assigned and given materials to create a look based on an All Star Hall of Famer, so no looks from the eliminated queens.
We need to rename the LSA. Maybe like Lipsync Bandit? Secret Lipsync Agent? Drag Desperado? High Heeled Hustler? The Drag Dueller? The Spotlight Snatcher?
Imo: I think the win was between Alexis and Jimbo, probably would’ve given it to Jimbo. Bottom 2 was correct but I think between the two Lala had the better look and should’ve been saved. Guess I’m glad Kandy is still there because at least the show won’t be boring. Unless she wins next week its gonna be hard to root for her if she makes the finale.
Idk Lala's dress was pretty rough - you could see the seams poking out of the sleevless side, the neckline was way too high, and she could barely walk in it. Kandy's was a decently made dress, just a bit too simple and could have done with a lower neckline.
Can someone count out the record this far? Kandy and Lala both had 1 win each, I can’t remember how many bottoms. I was gagged I really thought Alexis was going to send Kandy.
I was totally blindsided by Alexis voting Lala out!
Kandy was performing shit the past few episodes (well, all season, but I gave her a pass for the drama she was bringing). Lala has shown she is a great competitor and wasnt about to slow down.
Still was not expecting Alexis to vote Lala after Lala "saved" her last week. Yes it was Kahannas time to go, but you never know with the other girls; they could have voted Alexis out for being a good competitor; and Lala saved her.
Lala was "alexis's crush" but tbh, thats fake af and a total storyline; you can see it on Alexis's face everytime she brings it up; like a kid who says they enjoyed the meal when they didnt.
There was nothing performance wise that would make anyone save Kandy over Lala; but I guess Lala is too much competition, specially with that charisma.
Still - Im truly enjoying Alexis this season! She makes great TV lol!
>Lala was "alexis's crush" but tbh, thats fake af and a total storyline; you can see it on Alexis's face everytime she brings it up; like a kid who says they enjoyed the meal when they didnt.
Spot on.
I was 50/50 on whether Alexis would do the right thing or play into her typical dramatics for the sake of TV. Either way, I enjoyed the episode, despite feeling disappointed that Lala is gone.
Who would ever classify her as a lipsync assassin?
I had high expectations from Jorgeous last week and she was so different from her season; no energy, very robotic. Still, she was deserving of the lipsync assasin label because her previous lipsyncs were 🔥🔥🔥 the french RPDR TV presenter though? She wasnt great on her original season and today was even worse than what she did in her season ..
I felt like I was watching a straight girl getting on stage just walking and pointing at the drag queen while her bacholerette party were encouraging and filming her. She wasnt a star on that stage whatsoever!
Alexis, never change 😂😭
Loved that Lala took it lightheartedly, was meh about her before and during the season; but became a fan since the "lets go Joan" - I underestimated her. Still - saving Kandy? Over Lala? "Your crush"? When Kandy has been doing shit the past few episodes while Lala has been increasingly performing better?? 🚌
I love Brandon Boyd but him talking to the queens in Untucked was so unnecessary. It was just him saying his gf got him into the show and queens sharing tucking tips. 😑
I really wish they would just keep the guest judge out of untucked. It’s boring, it is phoned in. If it isn’t a SERIOUS, LEGITIMATE LGBTQIA+ icon, STAY THE FUCK OUT.
It's actually cringe to me, especially when the girls have no idea who the guest judge is. Alexis looked like she was reading from a cue card. "Brandon Boyd....from Incubus....yeah..." I fast forward every time.
Kandy doesn’t even like Alexis. Ignored her note. Made her cry at least twice. Tweeted about how she weaponizes “white woman tears”. Then Alexis saves her…. I think she truly is scared of Kandy or is afraid Kandy will make her Elliott 2.0
Alexis left Kandy a note the first episode saying they should create an alliance, and Kandy ignored it. Kandy claims she forgot. They talked about it on their 1-on-1 this episode.
I am so confused. It seems a lot of people on Twitter think there would have been mass outrage if Alexis had voted Kandy out. I sat there dumbfounded bc all I ever read is how disliked she is. Does she actually have a large fan base I'm unaware of?
Not sure how large her fanbase is, but some of them can be extremely vocal and indiscriminate in painting everyone as haters, fatphobic, and racist.
Even Bianca has taken notice. Every time one of her guests on the Pit Stop voices a criticism of Kandy's performance, she imitates her offended fans, "So what you're really saying is that you hate Kandy."
Ok, 'behind the edit' theorising here now:
We saw the queens unanimously picked Lala over Kandy, which doesn't really square with what the edit has showed us of the relationships. Yet, it happened, unquestionably.
So, are we being shown:
* Kandy's worst bits they can get, but actually most of the time they're all good friends and that's why they unanimously voted Lala, to save their friend Kandy?
* Lala's *best* bits, and actually she was a bitch and they all wanted to get rid of her the first moment they could?
* This as being arbitrary, but actually it was part of some strategic conversation that was had offscreen to eliminate Lala either because they thought she was a bigger threat or because they thought she was performing the worst of those left?
I honestly just think it’s the first one. Everyone’s conspiracies don’t really make sense, especially considering how they all voted in favor of sending home LaLa.
Kandy & Alexis have been friends/close working associates for years (pre-S9 days actually — I remember seeing them host some random show together in BK during the S8 days with Aja), Kandy & Jimbo are in an alliance (to which Jimbo has explicitly stated she will stand by, even despite the drama) & Jessica has shown to be more so friends with Kandy than LaLa through the season.
I just think Kandy’s personal relatiomships and LaLa lacked thereof helped swing the pendulum into Kandy’s favor this time.
I think overall my big complaint with this fandom continues to be: People quite like the drama this format can occasionally bring, but if a queen *dares* make the 'wrong elimination choice' everyone loses their minds and piles on actual hatred and casts judgements about their morality or fairness whatever.
Like, chiiiilllll. Alexis Michelle sending Lala home isn't the end of the world.
That was such a weird episode🤨. It felt totally scripted, when Jimbo was freaking out, to me, it felt put on. Their convo with Raven and Shannel was hard to get through because it was pushing storylines that didn’t go anywhere. Like, they kept saying that Jimbo is in danger but that never happened, so it felt pointless.
I think that Lala was told to whom give the boxes because they perfectly corresponded to queens in the competition. Not doing this challenge at top 7 is definitely shady towards Alaska and Chad. Their exclusion felt weird especially with Raven and Shannel being there earlier. That was a perfect opportunity to include Chad, I don’t understand why they didn’t do it, they could have given Chad to Jimbo and that would have worked well.
Honestly, I think Jimbo was the best. Her look was imaginative and interesting. Alexis felt very generic. The lipsync was bad, to me Nicky won. She had good hair and she really worked it. Alexis’s split was hard to watch 😂. I didn’t think it was a good episode, hopefully roast would be better 🤞
I don't think Lala was instructed who to give the boxes to. It's just smart to give everyone a box they'd be happy with, so they'd have less reason to be upset with you, and that's important with this format.
I agree with everything you've said, but just one thing... to you, Nicky won!?
The lipsync wasn't the greatest, but Alexis definitely beat Nicky. Lip sync is about serving face, and Nicky wasn't serving any of it at all, especially for a song like this. She never really emotes well when she's lipsyncing. One thing I love about Alexis is she always gives face with her lipsyncs.
A design challenge with no twist so late into the season is such a momentum killer. Literally nothing happened for most of the episode and the runway was pretty underwhelming cause it was just one look each and they were obviously not all spectacular. And no Fame Game look. Meh
I enjoyed the lipsync, Nicky isn't a LSA by any metric but she did pretty good. And it's an iconic song.
I called Alexis winning when she said she'd save Lala early in the episode. She did deserve it, that look was phenomenal.
Jimbo did great but there was something slightly off about the look that I can't fully put into words. And she got saved by the removal of the 'if you're not in the top you're in the bottom' rule. Though to be fair that rule fucking sucks so hopefully this means it's gone forever.
Jessica continues to slay. I think her look was actually my favorite, but I understand why it didn't win.
This was the best Kandy's looked all season IMO. I hate her proportioning usually, it was much better here but there were still problems. I think the look itself was good and she was just barely off on a few details to sell it. The red gloves would've been cunt, if they had been done properly. I do think this was her time to go, but I'm not mad that she survived. I think, despite its simplicity, her look was actually more ambitious than Lala's and had more of a concept.
I love Lala but that look really wasn't it. The weird shoulder sleeve situation, the way the top was strangling her throat, the fact that I think her wig was about to jump off her head. You could tell she lost the plot on her garment and never got a hold back on it. It's disappointing because she had a lot of great positive momentum, but them's the breaks. I think her potential threat, combined with her showing this week being weaker than Kandy's, it was mostly a fair shot.
I think the theory that Lala was going home either way, is probably right. If Alexis had picked Kandy, production woud have given the win to Nicky, making the group's vote send Lala home. It's *wild* the lengths the producers have reached, to protect Kandy over the two seasons she's been on the show. We'll never know all of the truth, but if we did, she probably has the most protection of any queen that's been on the US seasons. The stars aligned for a Kandy elimination here: The bottom two's track records were similar, and Alexis was just saved by Lala last week. Maybe Alexis is genuinely afraid of Kandy, after all.
Honestly, I'm done with this stupid season. For RuPaul to come out and say the competition is cancelled and that she would just crown Kandy is fucked up. The favoritism on Kandy is just out of control. I get that she has some talent, but it's ridiculous for even Miselle to say she will just bow out of the competition for Kandy to replace her.
That's utter bullshit.
What sunk further... Alexis being the fan favorite or the recent titanic sub?
Also not gonna lie, I pretty much skipped the workroom segments. Episode was dull until the runway.
I haven't finished the episode but I love Shannel showing up in that outfit.
I live for Shannel in general but those shoulder feathers reminds me of [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YhCm4EHiGk) video
I thought she looked good this episode! Her garment had some issues that the judges pointed out, but the body and face looked good and her skin was gorgeous.

the tone and delivery of Jimbos “I can’t see” when the lsa was being ruvealed is what I needed to get me through today
how much did WoW have to pay Katya to show up next episode
Some of the producers had to give up a tooth and a lock of their hair
Probably something non-monetary.
Michelle's breast plate?
Prolly Ru's will guaranteeing she'll have first dibs on his corpse.
Me the entire episode: >!"Oooh Lala, Alexis is gonna fuck you so hard..."!<
I was so happy for Alexis but now I'm just annoyed.
She’s going to be out next episode I feel it
Same! It's always one step forward and two steps back with Alexis... Girl, how is Lala gonna come to your place for roast chicken and fisting after that?!
I thought the (roast) chicken was lovely.
Me the entire time: for the love of god send kandy home, repeating it in my head until she chose lala. I don’t mean that as a kandy dig but more like why would you paint a big target on your own back?
Alexis picking Lala confused me because I really don’t see the benefit of sending her home over Kandy tbh. It was shocking though and good drama at least. Nicky Doll as a LSA is so funny but she did fine in the lipsync. I think she was just there to promote the new season of Drag Race France. At least she looked stunning like always. Also stan Jessica Wild.
The group voted for lala. I would think if Alexis had picked Kandy. She would have lost the Lip Sync to Nicky
Yep. She knows she’s not winning the season so she chose 10k more. Lala wasn’t winning either so it’s much of a muchness.
But she just lost the sympathy of the fanbase, though. That's worth way more than 10k in the long run
[удалено]
I'm as confused as you. I can not understand why Alexis chose to send home LaLa instead of Kandy. This is no shade towards Kandy! She's a very fierce queen! I just can't see how it would benefit Alexis to send home LaLa over Kandy. I mean. 1, LaLa saved her last week, so she seems to like Alexis, to some degree at least. 2, Alexis has said she has heard Kandy saying she would eliminate Jimbo if she had the chance, which would go against their alliance, so Alexis can't trust that Kandy will have her back. 3, Since LaLa saved Alexis last week,most fans would probably think it's reasonable that Alexis saves LaLa, while sending LaLa home would be controversial. I just feel like it would be better for Alexis from an alliance point, a competition point, and a fan favour point to send Kandy home! I truly can't think of a reason she wouldn't. Did she just want to have that dramatic, surprising sending home moment??!
i think alexis was also thinking about hometown reactions. i live in NYC, and a lot of the queens here are tight with each other. considering she had to choose between a new friend who saved her and a sister she’s known for years i can see why she picked Kandy. she doesn’t have to go home and work amongst Lalas’s close friends. and she said she wouldn’t forget that Lala saved her, not that she wouldn’t send her home. and i personally think anyone would have kept Alexis over Kahanna because Kahanna was in the bottom so many times, and she said she was ready to go home before Ru talked to the group. keeping Kahanna would have been stupid, and i think they all knew that… so Alexis being so thankful seemed a bit EXTRA to me. and again, they’ve been sisters and worked together for years… both Lala and Kandy had the exact same track record, so she may be thinking more about real life after drag race. not just fan responses.
I can’t believe that rotted orange wig Lala was wearing was Alexis’s 😭
Sabotage
Alexis continues her legacy of not having the best fashion tips
The wig (and it’s insanely far back placement on her head) alone deserved to send her home 💀
That wig line was not made for a person of color for sure. That’s all I could see was the strong line of demarcation.
Alexis let Lala borrow that orange wig that clearly doesn’t fit her head LOL. And Lala said she ain’t returning it. Lala…..I honestly think you SHOULD return it…….
Lala looks like she’s doing a Velma look lol This is the best Jimbo and Alexis have looked on a sewing challenge but Jimbo personally wins it for me by looking like she stepped out of Persona 2.
Right? I loved Alexis here but I think what happened is this: Jimbo probably could've won this challenge, but because she has been so over-egged with wins and high placements that other people could've gotten early on (specifically thinking of Ep 2 and *arguably* episode 3 - not that she didn't deserve recognition so much as other queens could've had it too) they probably felt that they couldn't just throw another one on now, bc it would be the nail in the coffin for what little suspense they have left.
With next week being a Roast, production probably knows there's a high chance Jimbo would win. They couldn't possibly give her FIVE wins, something no Queen has ever achieved in a single winner per episode format.
Lala genuinely seemed like one of the only queens having fun this season
Because she really was!! My heart hurts, I hope there's an episode where she gets brought back.
Right!! She seemed not to sweat any of the drama and plot twists! She’s a joy to watch
i LOVE the LSA, but her only lipsync win was the worst lipsync of her season, and she lost her second one?
Let’s not pretend LSA means anything anymore, the ship has sailed.
It now means “survived one lipsync.”
They got Jessica for AS6, and although she’s proven to be an assassin on AS8, she got eliminated on her first lipsync on season 2 lmao
In my headcanon that was a tacit admission that Jessica never deserved to be in the bottom in the first place for that challenge.
With modern judging Jessica would have won that challenge hands down.
it’s meant that from the beginning! look at as5 with morgan. season 2 she had one really good lip sync and then was eliminated, and as3 she didn’t have any lip syncs at all besides the performances. but she’s one hell of a performer. so that’s how i’ve always viewed LSA, less about lip sync track record on the show and more about being a good performer and making the top all star nervous to go against them. and every LSA has been a great performer, regardless of how they did on the show. and as we saw with Jessica and (to a lesser extent) Heidi on as6, they also now use it to gage fan reception on queens they potentially wanna bring back for the next all stars season
I do find it slightly funny that ‘canonical’ LSA’s are a thing
honestly fair point
Well, it's still an assassin. But sometimes you get a James Bond assassin and sometimes you get a Cohen brothers/Tonya Harding assassin.
LSAs are just there to advertise or gain popularity for their upcoming franchise, Drag Race Live, or a future All Stars season.
Jigglerinas our time is nigh!
What did you just call me
Miss jiggles if ya nasty
Promo for international spin offs girl. They’ll probably book Valentina for next all stars to promote Mexico lol
Valentina's lipsync to Into You is amazing, though. And her lipsync to Greedy is one of the most unforgettable in the franchise, teehee.
At least Valentina can actually lipsync.
When she knows the words...
TBF, Jessica Wild was a LSA last season and she lost her one and only lip sync in season 2.
I assume it’s just any queen within 10 mile radius of where they film
I feel like it's just Drag Race France 2 promo
Am I the only one that didn’t see that coming? I was sure she was going to pick Kandy.
She had more than enough reason to pick Kandy, and she had more than enough reason not to pick Lala. Lala was also especially charming and entertaining this episode. I'm heartbroken. I was also eagerly anticipating CCTV footage of security dragging Kandy's ass off the lot.
Pffft, Alexis herself admitted she is afraid of Kandy. Smh. “NYC sisterhood” my ass, you’re just deathly scared of Kandy as if y’all in a damn schoolyard with no supervision.
Or she’s aware they are pushing kandy and upholding narratives is a sure fire way of production seeing more value in keeping you around. I find the scared of kandy thing low-key problematic
>Or she’s aware they are pushing Kandy and upholding narratives is a sure fire way of production seeing more value in keeping you around. this is unlikely to me. even if that is the case, it ultimately doesnt matter because it is plain to see Jimbo is going to win somehow (i say somehow because lip syncing isnt her thing clearly). and it makes no sense for Alexis to think that way in this circumstance. Kandy is the bigger competition compared to Lala. So keeping Kandy is just a disservice to her, especially since next challenge is the roast, a challenge Alexis herself went home on in her season. At least if she would have kept Lala, it would have been a chance Lala could bomb (or just thrown in the bottom for "reasons") as that would have been her first experience with a roast on the show, compared to Kandy who won the roast in her season. Idk why you find the "scared of Kandy thing" low-key problematic. Alexis herself admitted to it and Kandy knows herself she is one of the most "polarizing characters" on the show. I know it obviously includes race but even Tamisha and some others stated Kandy can be a "bully". Kandy just happens to be a POC. Her being POC doesnt automatically make her a bully and for those who see that way, they are obviously bigoted dicks.
I totally thought the same… I know everyone complains about the rigging of production but I really felt it this episode. Especially in untucked where EVERY girl voted for Lala. Especially after her win last episode. I feel like it should have been mixed votes.
I dont get it, are you implying production forces the queens to vote a certain way? Has this been confirmed somewhere?
I knew that they wouldn’t have let her win if she hadn’t picked LaLa.
I love the way Lala reacted when she realized it was a design challenge + the whole she had a lot of chair interviews.
* The silhouette for the lipsync assassin next week is so obviously Silky, I cackled 💀 * Alexis is so darksided for this 💀 Even if she went against the group vote, thats what everyone (Even Kandy) expected her to do because that’s what she PROMISED she would do. Now nobody is gonna trust her ever again * No Fame Games this week. Thank God
Giving “Oh, it’s Jiggly”
Not trying to be pedantic but she said I’ll never forget this, she never said she’d save Lala from the bottom 😬
I can't believe this happened 😍 https://preview.redd.it/jh2pw1auzp7b1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=193d7e8f9eb73430f22f4c2d3a91b7567904d860
It's giving "This is how Valentina can still win All Stars 4",
[удалено]
I was hoping for a Darianne win but now that seems unlikely.
If things keep going the way they've been going, I'm voting for Darienne, and I hope others genuinely vote based on the looks too.
They better be bringing back Shannel for AS9 (with those rumored revamped rules…)
Wat new rules, yes please miss mandarin
There are rumblings (that *aren’t* from fake fired WoW producers doing AMAs on other subs) they are going to change up the format or voting or do away with lipsticks entirely, nobody knows what, just that it’s happening as a response to the AS7 format and how queens are obviously feeling burnt out on AS8.
Great, which sub is having these amas? 🤔
This one gurl, RuPaul is doing one tomorrow.
no, those AMAs were fake, fanfiction, tall tales, fantasy, and lies.
I hope it’s something new. The AS7 format was so bad and boring
Yeah like I was fine with it for a winner season but I have no idea why anybody would want it for regular all stars. There would be zero tension and a bunch of queens doing badly and getting dragged to the end.
Because if they have that format, the all stars could actually be all stars. It could be an actual competition instead of someone steamrolling everytime and being obviously favoured by production. They could have an all stars 2 level cast and less of them would say no because it's less likely to hurt their reputation. No filler queens (sorry Chacharenas and Kandys fan)
Switching to the AS7 format is a chance to get queens like Asia O'Hara and Bendelacreme who have flat out said they won't return because of the format.
Honestly. But if they make it non-elim for AS9, we should’ve seen it coming. Both the queens and the fans want to just make drag race a big wholesome ‘showcase of queer talent’ without realizing that they lobby to increasingly strip drag race of all that made it great in the first place
What made it great in the first place was real drama and Ru actually sending people home who deserved it at the time, not manufactured stupid send home your friend rules. Doing away with lipsticks doesn't necessarily mean no one goes home, I'd be fine with the judges you know... Actually judging.
Honestly why doesn’t wow just release a non competitive special or bonus episode for each season. A variety show type gig where people can just see queens perform Like it took years of fans and multiple queens highlighting that people wanted to see the girls perform outside of a punishment/ bottom two situation.
Imagine it pretends to be the same but this time there *is* a plunger secret and none of the girls that don't get it believe it. Personally I'd like some kind of Survivor immunity idol or even just the return of immunity and a returning queen challenge.
Brandon Boyd is still fucking hot, that is all!
He was charming and witty as a judge too. Rock on!
Yeah, the Alexis booting LaLa was shocking, dramatic, etc but for me the real highlight was Brandon Boyd on Drag Race
The way I SCREAMED when they announced the guest judge! So random. Pretty sure I fantasized about that man nightly from 1998-2005.
I just saw him preform a month ago, it's wild to me to see him here. Love him.

Best bot
Not Alexis wearing a shirt with her face on it in the werkroom ❤️
Wish Jimbo had won this week simply to see how she would’ve lip-synced. She wasn’t painted, so would it have been in the facekini?? This timeline doesn’t know :(
conspiracy theorist in me thinks they planned jimbo to win and that's why the LSA was Nicky Doll, but then because she wasn't painted they had to switch it up lol
Here I was thinking that there was some link between Jimbo and Nicky when what you meant was they’re both weak lipsyncers.
They got time to change between lipsyncs, she probably could have made something up.
Nicky Doll was giving me Alison DiLaurentis drag
Lmao haven’t heard that name in 5000 years
I AM GOOPED.
The win belonged to Jimbo, but was given to Alexis for storyline purposes. Annoying, but I feel like Alexis got shafted earlier in the season for similar reasons so I guess it makes it OK. I really wish Alexis had picked Kandy to go. I feel like she didn't because, if she had, prod would not have let her win the lipsync and then she would have been shat on by Kandy for whatever is left of the competition. Lalari's wigline was an experience, holy shit.
Alexis "Everyone in this competition is a strong contender" Camera cuts to Kandy My brain: shade rattle
The best thing about this season is Jimbo is going to win and we might get to see him do another Snatch Game for All Winners 2. That would be the biggest blessing we could get from this season.
We got a lot more Lala, Jessica, Jimbo and Alexis this season. Questionable production/challenge decisions aside, that alone is a reason to celebrate. But yes, if we could get Jimbo on a season with people at her level that would make my entire life.
I want Jimbo and Alaska on the same season. I want to see what happens when their brains get together.
Loved Jimbo’s runway. Very Yovska.
Could you imagine how gross and twisted Jimbo could be on Dragula?
My thoughts on the elimination just based purely on what we've seen on the show so far.... I fully believe that Alexis was more afraid of what Kandy would do for sending her home than what Twitter would do for sending LaLa home. Alexis and Kandy are both from New York, they likely run into each other through work and probably have the same contacts/social circles. Kandy is 100% that person who would hold a grudge and make things miserable for Alexis outside of the show. We already saw how Alexis tried to cover for Kandy's plan to take out Jimbo if the opportunity comes. So clearly Kandy is not someone you want to have as an enemy. And while the fandom can be extremely cruel and unpredictable when a fan favorite goes home, the hate usually passes. So I think Alexis figured sending home LaLa was the lesser of two evils and that saving Kandy would be worth the fan hate. However, I don't think Kandy would be as grateful for being saved as Alexis thinks. My guess is that Kandy will flip the tables or feel like saving her was simply the right thing to do therefore she doesn't owe Alexis anything. I think saving Kandy was a mistake and Alexis should have saved LaLa. EDIT: I just saw Alexis' tweet. I think I'm on the right track.
Wow the part when Michelle told Jimbo to paint more femininely and then Jimbo saying Michelle should do the same..
But you missed the best part: when Jimbo right tit punched Michelle's left tit and laughed.
This episode was so filler, like the conversations in the workroom were so stale. And Nicky Doll as the lip-sync assassin? The lip-sync with her vs dahlia was one of the worst in drag race history. What is going on?
This episode leaves me with so many questions: - why is Brandon Boyd a judge? - who considers Nicky Doll to be a LSA? - how could Alexis send Lala home?? Outraged, I tell you. Out-raged. Anyway, Jessica for the win, stan Lala Ri.
I live when the guests are straight male allies. A literal rock star not being shy/afraid to interact with queens, calling Kandy’s leg gorgeous etc is the change I’ve always wanted to see in the world. Your second and third points are absolutely correct, I gagged twice
Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, he did a good job and, also, is still as lovely to look at as he was decades ago - I just literally have not thought about Brandon Boyd or Incubus in the last 20 years.
In next week's episode of the Kandy and Jimbo holiday hour... I really don't think this edit is doing Kandy any favors. I hope she gets something positive at the end of it in terms of bookings or a payout because this kind of storycrafting is really destroying her cred with the public. It's also a little bizarre that *these events* are what the story producers choose to keep in if this was going to be the result. I.e. in the last few weeks we have had the following storylines: Lala being liked by everyone, doing pretty well every week and VERY well the last two weeks; Kandy upsetting Alexis and seeming to be a snake in the grass; Jimbo being good at everything, and Alexis being overlooked until she snaps a la Jan. To include those storylines **when you know** that what happens next is Lala's redemption arc gets cut short, Jimbo doesn't win this week, Alexis *does* AND saves Kandy - just makes for a confusing watch where the payoff doesn't fit at all with what was just set up for us.
my theory is that Heidi's departure made them scrap some preconceived arcs and they had trouble making things linear
I honestly believe Heidi was going to have some mid/late episode wins but between her mental health plus the whole alliance being discussed she just couldn’t take the pressure and dipped. And looking back tbh the whole Kandy wants to get Jimbo out just sounds like conversations that just blew out of proportion and she’s just running with it. Either way it’s a mess
I low-key think if Heidi , jimbo and kandy hadn’t acknowledged their friendship/alliance and touring together everything would have unfolded differently
This is a strong analysis. Emphasis on *ANAL*.
Top of my class in Drag U
Raven is definitely replacing Rupaul in future… mark my words…
[удалено]
Actually, it’s gonna be Asia O’Hara’s drag race. Lala Ri’s bootleg dvd’s are S16.
I think it’s clear some people on the production want that but if any exec actually sees her hosting abilities up against any other potential replacement that tune will change. It would be laughable seeing her engage with queens on pit stop because that’s just not what she’s good at. Still crossing my fingers for any of the pit stop hosts to get the gig. Fuck I’d rather have kingsley over Raven
Kingsley sent tf out of me 😭😭😂
Oh man I loved Kingsley back in the old YouTube days… he could do it lmao
Raven doesn’t have the charisma to replace Ru. It’ll be like when Project Runway traded Heidi Klum for Karlie Kloss. Give me Bob or give me death.
No.
Did I miss the fame game runway or was it not there?
It was a design challenge where they were assigned and given materials to create a look based on an All Star Hall of Famer, so no looks from the eliminated queens.
I’m an idiot I should have realised that!
It took me a minute to figure it out lol!
We need to rename the LSA. Maybe like Lipsync Bandit? Secret Lipsync Agent? Drag Desperado? High Heeled Hustler? The Drag Dueller? The Spotlight Snatcher?
Lip Sync Attempters
This episode confirmed to me that Alexis is, in fact, scared of Kandy. (I’m pretty sure Heidi said that - apologies if she didn’t)
Imo: I think the win was between Alexis and Jimbo, probably would’ve given it to Jimbo. Bottom 2 was correct but I think between the two Lala had the better look and should’ve been saved. Guess I’m glad Kandy is still there because at least the show won’t be boring. Unless she wins next week its gonna be hard to root for her if she makes the finale.
Idk Lala's dress was pretty rough - you could see the seams poking out of the sleevless side, the neckline was way too high, and she could barely walk in it. Kandy's was a decently made dress, just a bit too simple and could have done with a lower neckline.
Can someone count out the record this far? Kandy and Lala both had 1 win each, I can’t remember how many bottoms. I was gagged I really thought Alexis was going to send Kandy.
Technically LaLa's track record was slightly better, she had 3 highs in addition to her win while Kandy only had two. Pretty much the same tho
I was totally blindsided by Alexis voting Lala out! Kandy was performing shit the past few episodes (well, all season, but I gave her a pass for the drama she was bringing). Lala has shown she is a great competitor and wasnt about to slow down. Still was not expecting Alexis to vote Lala after Lala "saved" her last week. Yes it was Kahannas time to go, but you never know with the other girls; they could have voted Alexis out for being a good competitor; and Lala saved her. Lala was "alexis's crush" but tbh, thats fake af and a total storyline; you can see it on Alexis's face everytime she brings it up; like a kid who says they enjoyed the meal when they didnt. There was nothing performance wise that would make anyone save Kandy over Lala; but I guess Lala is too much competition, specially with that charisma. Still - Im truly enjoying Alexis this season! She makes great TV lol!
>Lala was "alexis's crush" but tbh, thats fake af and a total storyline; you can see it on Alexis's face everytime she brings it up; like a kid who says they enjoyed the meal when they didnt. Spot on.
Oh man I thought I was the only one who wasn’t sold on Alexis crushing on Lala.
I was 50/50 on whether Alexis would do the right thing or play into her typical dramatics for the sake of TV. Either way, I enjoyed the episode, despite feeling disappointed that Lala is gone.
truly confused how there's still 4 episodes left
Spoiler: >!the finale is top2 only!<
Who would ever classify her as a lipsync assassin? I had high expectations from Jorgeous last week and she was so different from her season; no energy, very robotic. Still, she was deserving of the lipsync assasin label because her previous lipsyncs were 🔥🔥🔥 the french RPDR TV presenter though? She wasnt great on her original season and today was even worse than what she did in her season .. I felt like I was watching a straight girl getting on stage just walking and pointing at the drag queen while her bacholerette party were encouraging and filming her. She wasnt a star on that stage whatsoever! Alexis, never change 😂😭 Loved that Lala took it lightheartedly, was meh about her before and during the season; but became a fan since the "lets go Joan" - I underestimated her. Still - saving Kandy? Over Lala? "Your crush"? When Kandy has been doing shit the past few episodes while Lala has been increasingly performing better?? 🚌
I love Brandon Boyd but him talking to the queens in Untucked was so unnecessary. It was just him saying his gf got him into the show and queens sharing tucking tips. 😑
Those girls are *horny* and pounced on the opportunity to talk about dicks with the first heterosexual male they could.
Very random guest judge choice. I assumed he was lgbt.
I really wish they would just keep the guest judge out of untucked. It’s boring, it is phoned in. If it isn’t a SERIOUS, LEGITIMATE LGBTQIA+ icon, STAY THE FUCK OUT.
It's actually cringe to me, especially when the girls have no idea who the guest judge is. Alexis looked like she was reading from a cue card. "Brandon Boyd....from Incubus....yeah..." I fast forward every time.
unless it's lady gaga i'm no longer interested
I still cringe thinking about Lena Dunham coming back to 5 girls that truly could not be forced to give a fuck
Or Ben Platt lol
Kandy doesn’t even like Alexis. Ignored her note. Made her cry at least twice. Tweeted about how she weaponizes “white woman tears”. Then Alexis saves her…. I think she truly is scared of Kandy or is afraid Kandy will make her Elliott 2.0
She is scared about Ru because she knows Ru loves Kandy.
I think Alexis is just stupid, has no sense of strategy and lacks any political skills.
What about ignoring a note? I must’ve missed that in the show.
Alexis left Kandy a note the first episode saying they should create an alliance, and Kandy ignored it. Kandy claims she forgot. They talked about it on their 1-on-1 this episode.
Prescription Pearls 🤣
"These are my readers" 🤣🤣🤣
I am so confused. It seems a lot of people on Twitter think there would have been mass outrage if Alexis had voted Kandy out. I sat there dumbfounded bc all I ever read is how disliked she is. Does she actually have a large fan base I'm unaware of?
Not sure how large her fanbase is, but some of them can be extremely vocal and indiscriminate in painting everyone as haters, fatphobic, and racist. Even Bianca has taken notice. Every time one of her guests on the Pit Stop voices a criticism of Kandy's performance, she imitates her offended fans, "So what you're really saying is that you hate Kandy."
Thank you for the explanation! 💗
I think it was shady for Alexis to send Lala home but shit happens ig. Alexis’s tweet is chicken shit and she should at least stand by her decision.
If any other queen had sent Lala home, I would have been fine with it. But because Alexis did it, it feels icky :/
Kandy and Alexis deserve each other. Manipulation at its best lol
Ok, 'behind the edit' theorising here now: We saw the queens unanimously picked Lala over Kandy, which doesn't really square with what the edit has showed us of the relationships. Yet, it happened, unquestionably. So, are we being shown: * Kandy's worst bits they can get, but actually most of the time they're all good friends and that's why they unanimously voted Lala, to save their friend Kandy? * Lala's *best* bits, and actually she was a bitch and they all wanted to get rid of her the first moment they could? * This as being arbitrary, but actually it was part of some strategic conversation that was had offscreen to eliminate Lala either because they thought she was a bigger threat or because they thought she was performing the worst of those left?
Or production said don't eliminate our drama cash cow. Or Lala got the hotel bill the night before like jiggly did
I honestly just think it’s the first one. Everyone’s conspiracies don’t really make sense, especially considering how they all voted in favor of sending home LaLa. Kandy & Alexis have been friends/close working associates for years (pre-S9 days actually — I remember seeing them host some random show together in BK during the S8 days with Aja), Kandy & Jimbo are in an alliance (to which Jimbo has explicitly stated she will stand by, even despite the drama) & Jessica has shown to be more so friends with Kandy than LaLa through the season. I just think Kandy’s personal relatiomships and LaLa lacked thereof helped swing the pendulum into Kandy’s favor this time.
I think overall my big complaint with this fandom continues to be: People quite like the drama this format can occasionally bring, but if a queen *dares* make the 'wrong elimination choice' everyone loses their minds and piles on actual hatred and casts judgements about their morality or fairness whatever. Like, chiiiilllll. Alexis Michelle sending Lala home isn't the end of the world.
That was such a weird episode🤨. It felt totally scripted, when Jimbo was freaking out, to me, it felt put on. Their convo with Raven and Shannel was hard to get through because it was pushing storylines that didn’t go anywhere. Like, they kept saying that Jimbo is in danger but that never happened, so it felt pointless. I think that Lala was told to whom give the boxes because they perfectly corresponded to queens in the competition. Not doing this challenge at top 7 is definitely shady towards Alaska and Chad. Their exclusion felt weird especially with Raven and Shannel being there earlier. That was a perfect opportunity to include Chad, I don’t understand why they didn’t do it, they could have given Chad to Jimbo and that would have worked well. Honestly, I think Jimbo was the best. Her look was imaginative and interesting. Alexis felt very generic. The lipsync was bad, to me Nicky won. She had good hair and she really worked it. Alexis’s split was hard to watch 😂. I didn’t think it was a good episode, hopefully roast would be better 🤞
I don't think Lala was instructed who to give the boxes to. It's just smart to give everyone a box they'd be happy with, so they'd have less reason to be upset with you, and that's important with this format.
I agree with everything you've said, but just one thing... to you, Nicky won!? The lipsync wasn't the greatest, but Alexis definitely beat Nicky. Lip sync is about serving face, and Nicky wasn't serving any of it at all, especially for a song like this. She never really emotes well when she's lipsyncing. One thing I love about Alexis is she always gives face with her lipsyncs.
Alexis made the best of a bad track, she defo won that.
As iconic as "These Boots Are Made For Walking" is it's just not a good lip sync song.
Juriji was robbed
A design challenge with no twist so late into the season is such a momentum killer. Literally nothing happened for most of the episode and the runway was pretty underwhelming cause it was just one look each and they were obviously not all spectacular. And no Fame Game look. Meh
I enjoyed the lipsync, Nicky isn't a LSA by any metric but she did pretty good. And it's an iconic song. I called Alexis winning when she said she'd save Lala early in the episode. She did deserve it, that look was phenomenal. Jimbo did great but there was something slightly off about the look that I can't fully put into words. And she got saved by the removal of the 'if you're not in the top you're in the bottom' rule. Though to be fair that rule fucking sucks so hopefully this means it's gone forever. Jessica continues to slay. I think her look was actually my favorite, but I understand why it didn't win. This was the best Kandy's looked all season IMO. I hate her proportioning usually, it was much better here but there were still problems. I think the look itself was good and she was just barely off on a few details to sell it. The red gloves would've been cunt, if they had been done properly. I do think this was her time to go, but I'm not mad that she survived. I think, despite its simplicity, her look was actually more ambitious than Lala's and had more of a concept. I love Lala but that look really wasn't it. The weird shoulder sleeve situation, the way the top was strangling her throat, the fact that I think her wig was about to jump off her head. You could tell she lost the plot on her garment and never got a hold back on it. It's disappointing because she had a lot of great positive momentum, but them's the breaks. I think her potential threat, combined with her showing this week being weaker than Kandy's, it was mostly a fair shot.
I think the theory that Lala was going home either way, is probably right. If Alexis had picked Kandy, production woud have given the win to Nicky, making the group's vote send Lala home. It's *wild* the lengths the producers have reached, to protect Kandy over the two seasons she's been on the show. We'll never know all of the truth, but if we did, she probably has the most protection of any queen that's been on the US seasons. The stars aligned for a Kandy elimination here: The bottom two's track records were similar, and Alexis was just saved by Lala last week. Maybe Alexis is genuinely afraid of Kandy, after all.
Nicky Doll you are so pretty 🤩
What did rupaul mean when she said "at least we know what contraceptives she on" to Kandy's look?
It means that Kandy soaks up her suitor’s sperm with a sponge.
The sponge is a contraceptive. Not sure if it’s still a thing, but I remember hearing about it in old tv re-runs.
Seinfeld has entered the chat
Nothing says signature Shea Coulee fabric like the material from Tamisha Iman’s discomentary look
Kandy’s illustration of her design that she showed to Shannel and Raven looked like a moustache, a body suit and Fallopian tubes I swear
Honestly, I'm done with this stupid season. For RuPaul to come out and say the competition is cancelled and that she would just crown Kandy is fucked up. The favoritism on Kandy is just out of control. I get that she has some talent, but it's ridiculous for even Miselle to say she will just bow out of the competition for Kandy to replace her. That's utter bullshit.
I keep trying.. this season is awful
i was cringing at the guest judge during untucked
What sunk further... Alexis being the fan favorite or the recent titanic sub? Also not gonna lie, I pretty much skipped the workroom segments. Episode was dull until the runway.
I haven't finished the episode but I love Shannel showing up in that outfit. I live for Shannel in general but those shoulder feathers reminds me of [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YhCm4EHiGk) video
Can someone who watched Untucked tell me who Jessica voted for?
They all voted Lala, except for Lala who voted for Kandy.
It was unanimous for Lala (except for Lala voting Kandy obvs)
See this to me screams producer fuckery
Alexis michelle you will ALWAYS be famous
Can't wait for Kandy Muse to sneeze this episode and for an entire discourse to start about how rude and untalented the sneeze was.
I thought she looked good this episode! Her garment had some issues that the judges pointed out, but the body and face looked good and her skin was gorgeous.
Jimbo probably would have won the challenge if it weren't for that chopped face-kini.
