tv show RuPaul's Drag Race

[Bimbo]

The starpower of some S9 girls was insane like...

 

 

Only now matched by Sasha, Luxx, and MIB

AS8 on May 12th. Idk about the other Ru hosted shows. DU 3 - July? UK 5 - September? CDR 4 will probably come out this summer too.

Great interview. Sasha is everything. Can't wait to see what she does with her crown.

[KaledKalil]

Not gonna lie, one of the reasons I'm not a huge fan of S9 is how bad RuPaul looks all season. 

 

That second episode with her looking as bad as the Project Runway ep.

none of these queens are strong and i know u cannot be serious about Rock ….. bffr. Aiden for all her aesthetic (which i kinda appreciated) is giving first out on dragula and was only kept as long as she was as fodder for Brita’s meltdownfall.

 

Heidi’s cute but she wasn’t on season 12. and i simply cannot get into Gigi’s mug, aesthetic, not her “performance ability” ….. best thing she ever did on drag race was Symoné’s wigs, i’ll give her THAT

I'll give you Rock

I think Aiden was very shy and intimidated but I think she had lots of potential too 

Heidi was a lil busted but she had star power and HUNGER she was a major star in the season imo

Don't do Gigi like that...  she rightfully won the Madonna rusical and her im that ***** verse was one of the most iconics of the franchise imo. She might not be your cup of tea but she is talented

and other queens who have undeniably made an impact on the audience like eureka, kameron, vanjie, and the girl with the racist name???? if y’all are listing 12 as above 10 , particularly in the sense of talented/impactful queens ….. i’m sorry luhv but ur simply on CRACK, no miz. more than half the cast has made it to the top 5 either on their initial season or in other seasons. season 12 has jan. AND JACKIE.

This deleted scene alone put S10 above a lot of the VH1 seasons 

 

 

 

feeling like **** I just want them back 

[Rotunda]

Also I think some of y’all exaggerate how financially well-off some of these queens who “won’t” do All Stars are doing.

It’s it really about well of tbh to me. You can end up hurting your reputation. Like imagine being top your season then going home first  

[Dula Peep]

I’d be fine with AS8 being the last for a while tbh

was akeria's career hurted by AS6? or was she always a flop?

[Dula Peep]

Isn’t Drag Race the highest rated MTV show now? 

I wont be surprised if the next era of drag domination is the popular queens from Drag Race getting their own reality shows on MTV. Like how they did all of the Flavor of Love, JerseyShore, Teen Mom etc spin-offs.

[Kristie Kuwa]

depending on the success of global allstars, I feel like it could take over regular all star seasons in the upcoming years

American All-Stars is in need of a rebrand. The way AS5 and AS6 only had 3-5 "stars" was

It was a waste of time for her (not silky though)

AS8 will hit a new low.

[NumbSoul]

Am I the only one who doesn't mind when lesser known girls go on AS?

 

Sure, stacked casts usually make for a better season (eg. AS2), but I think it's also really cool to see how those less known girls evolved and give them another chance. A perfect example is Rajah - we would never get her amazing AS6 run, if they only casted the 'heavy-hitters', cause lbr, her run on S11 wasn't the best.

 

The only thing I dislike is when they cast girls fresh off their seasons. Like, what's the point? They didn't even have time to truly evolve

I’ve beend advocating for an AS pause since AS3‘s cast was announced. They managed to cast actual all stars for season 4, but Season 5 was a new LOW. Ongina, the one associated with Morgan (can’t remember her name), Anetras drag mom, the other flops, whew, what a waste of a season. AS6 was meh as well.

Totally agreed on both counts.

 

Also one aspect the fans need to remember is that drag race is a BRAND, WoW (and all it's associated projects) is a company... financially speaking, it makes little sense to have a season full of stacked icons and runners-up. Getting lesser girls and/or those who bombed to come back and prove they're worthy creates more bankable ru girls and potential WoW employees, WTW/Vegas Ruview or whatever, as well as any future projects.

 

Like from their perspective, AS6 allowing them to relaunch girls like Kylie, Ra'jah, Silky, was far preferable to begging Gottmik, Brooke or Gigi or whatever to come back. The big girls coming back can even backfire, when high profile girls come back and give Roxxy/Coco/Ginger teas. On a less loaded season, their runs might've been better edited or payola'd. I think cast-wise, we'll never have another AS1/2 again.

[KaledKalil]

A good remind: an all star for this show is not necessarily someone who did well during the season only, but if she was a memorable character or had any interesting story outside the show as well.

 

I don't mind the lesser known girls either. They actually care about doing well.

All of this, the bolded part in particular

I also feel like All Stars will be replaced by Global All Stars once it debuts, I don't see the reason to keep them both.
