Just a Gay on ATRL Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 The only Lala tea I’m sad never came true was the Slave to the Rhythm lipsync against Bob The Drag Queen as LSA, whoever made that spoiler up got my hopes up!

AS7 had no eliminations or bad critiques aired, and all of those queens were still mad af and had to be sent a cease & desist to not drop that reunion footage. The editing and production will always make the queens mad. They really just need to can All Stars at this point. It not being on live TV is really bad for the queens. It's really just not worth it in its current state, that's why this season is compromised of these queens. Jimbo has that whole international thing going for them, being on a US show is an achievement, queens like Jessica have hype for being OGs, early outs who need the screentime, and good "reality" personalities like Kandy & Alexis. It really baffles me on how to fix it bc like you said, they made everyone look perfect on AS7 and the queens were still mad at production I don't think any changes/formats will go well with queens unless they overhaul the production team themselves (and even then, it's just gonna be different people doing the same things). No one will ever be pleased and then you have queens like Naysha who want non-winner seasons to have the AS7 format, and it's like.... Not every queen has a seasons worth of talent/a story to tell fffff 1

Adore nearly did AS6 but they couldn’t work out logistics/safety concerns for her variety show, not sure why she didn’t do AS8, maybe she’s starting to think it’s not worth it. Tatianna seems happy doing her own thing, I think it will take a lot to get her back. I love Tatianna! Acid Betty does a lot of stuff BTS for drag tours & has other ventures as well, was probably too busy. also she might be afraid they’ll screw her over & give her an over the top villain edit. Kameron seems to be going through something, her IG is all boyself rn, and she was realllyyy pissed how they handled her AS6 appearance. I wouldn’t expect her. Plastique idk, she is busy touring and such. Probably just fell through, but she should do it. Asia O’Hara has been busy in Vegas & I read something that she didn’t want to do AS because of the elimination format, so I am not expecting her to ever do it unless rumors are true they start doing non ELIM, that may change the game for her
Solaria Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 I don’t think Asia will ever do All Stars. If she went back they’d milk the butterfly thing to death in the first episode and I really dont think she wants to go through that again. Plus, I love her, but her run on Season 10 wasnt that great. She had a lot of safe/low placements and wasnt the extremely seasoned polished queen who is gonna steamroll the competition which a lot of people predicted before the season started
Aelita Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 what's the tea in next episodes? what's the monologue this season?

Magdalene Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 imagine if they had a lip sync assassin for the finale, jimbo the top all star of the season loses the lip sync and in a twist, the winner of the fame game takes the crown kahanna montrese is taking it
bluevelvetcrowbar Posted June 24, 2023 Posted June 24, 2023 According to a teaspill, AS9 is rumored to be non elimination. Wonder if this'll entice the hold out queens they've wanted to come back
Aston Martin Posted June 24, 2023 Posted June 24, 2023 They better have some interesting twist if it's going to be non-elimination because

Solaria Posted June 24, 2023 Posted June 24, 2023 Doing non-elimination with non winners is so just abolish All Stars, it doesnt serve a purpose anymore.
unino Posted June 24, 2023 Posted June 24, 2023 ugh if Adore were to comeback, it better be pop girlie Adore like in season 6 or else don't bother.

I'd kms

I don't see any other reason for non eliminations.
That Bad Eartha Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Idk I’m kind of fine with non-eliminations if it helps them get bigger names back in the mix and they actually still critique them and there is some sort of penalty for poor performances unlike All Winners. Or at least make it a point system and if they don’t have a certain number of points by like midway, they get cut. The current format desperately needs a shakeup. And especially with All Stars seasons, the seasons just get so dull in those final episodes with so few queens left.
justlore Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 A non-eliminations season is the only way to get Detox, Kim Chi, Plastique, Asia, Gottmik ecc… back again
TrueBlood Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Just now, justlore said: A non-eliminations season is the only way to get Detox, Kim Chi, Plastique, Asia, Gottmik ecc… back again If this is the level of the cast for a new all stars with no elimination, I'm here for it. I pray for a Katya return as well. Anyway, next episode with Jimbo's supposed win against Silky, is going to be iconic.
Mornings Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Yeah the quality of the runways was NOT good this year for AS. If they do non elimination they better pick people who actually have interesting drag concepts like Jimbo or some kind of budget like a Miss Fame
TrueBlood Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 My only complain about a non-elimination season is that I would have loved to have it just as an exclusive for all winners seasons. By the time AW2 is out, we’re all going to be tired from the non-eliminations just like we are right now from the lipsync assassins. It would be more interesting to have some kind of eliminations for AW2 at that point, but who would even agree to compete?
Yawn Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 i’ve been waiting since ep1 for the reading challenge just to see Jimbo be mean to the girlies and it’s never coming huh… wtf what happened with that?
ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted June 25, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted June 25, 2023 IDK, I feel like there are ways to continue involving the girls post-elimination to the point where they aren't losing money going there. Problem is All Stars tries different ideas and never fully fleshes them out. We got the eliminated queens returning for a challenge in AS2 & AS3 though they were different challenges, we got the LalapaRuza in AS4 & AS6, AS8 is giving the queens an opportunity to show their runway package. We also got the jury twist in AS3 that brought all the queens back too. I feel like more thought could be done in order to involve the eliminated queens without just subjecting us to non-elimination seasons.

ATRL Moderator Unoriginal Posted June 26, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted June 26, 2023 pretty sure we have tea the reading challenge is happening episode 11 when all the queens return for the talent show?
