She should have had the chance to move herself forward and have another Miyah and Morphine battle. Glad for Morphine winning, she grew on me. Her 2nd BBL on lock Reveal hidden contents (and throw in a tummy tuck while she's there) Excited to see Mirage perform, she moved so well when she didn't know the song. Kind of wish Plane, Saphira and Nymphia were in this as well. Just for the kiis, having Jane vs Amanda, actually see Nymphia perform more, Saphora hamming it up to a slower song. Too be fair she really just interpreted flowers wrong. She could have beat mihya(she really needs to change this name) in that lipsync
Pelvic Thrust Posted April 9 Posted April 9 The Drag Race Philippines Season 3 queens look really promising.

Maybe that'll be the new norm going forward.

I recall reading that Roxxxy wins the most challenges with Plastique and Jorgeous also doing well but in the end it's Roxxxy, Angeria, and Vanjie as the top 3 due to some twist.

That’s not much tbh but also pretty much all we have ie Roxxxy 5 wins, Angeria/Plastique 4, Jorgeous/Vanjie 3, Nina/Shannel 2, Gottmik 1 Considering how off a lot of S16 spoilers were though (Nymphia 4 wins, Q mid-out, Geneva top six, Dawn premiere win, Morphine comeback queen etc) I’d say we’re largely going in blind 1

I agree. It doesn't make sense. That said, I also feel as though WOW had to "coerce" some queens into partaking in this season. They were given a big runway budget, a non-elimination season and why do I think that they've probably heightened the cash prize? Considering that a lot of "high-profile" queens we know rejected S8, they had to bring in new elements for the AS9 queens. Hopefully, AS10 has majority heavy hitters or is an All Winners season, even if they have to put the cash prize at $250-300K.

Reveal hidden contents Thoughts? @Aston Martin @Unoriginal The only thing I've heard about AS10 is that Marina and Hannah from UKvTW2 both got invited to compete (no word on if they accepted or not). So it sounds like it'll be another regular All-Stars. But I think they need to revamp it to keep it interesting and differentiated from all the other spinoffs. I've said this before in the regular thread but I think they should start making future USAS seasons "themed" the way AS7 was All Winners. Maybe do an all seamstresses, all comedy queens, all lip sync assassins, ect. More queens would want to do it if they're all competing in their strong suit, and I'm sure it would make good TV.

Hide contents Thoughts? @Aston Martin @Unoriginal i have a feeling eight queen nonelimination seasons are gonna be the way all stars continues going forward. like aston martin said, we know as10 isn't aw2 but if hannah and marina are on it then it should be a heavy hitters season. i think nonelimination makes sense in that it allows all the queens to present a full package, guarantees a solid number of episodes for everyone, and allows everyone (in theory) to shine in their strong challenges. production can also experiment with different methods of blocking/points to see how it works best 1

ATRL Moderator Unoriginal Posted April 11 ATRL Moderator Posted April 11 these are the win counts for as9 i think? i'm still unsure if it's vanjie or nina who wins three challenges but i think the rest are correct. i checked the tea yesterday because my win counts didn't add up lol but also isn't there allegedly a solo angeria win for a lalaparuza () that i can't factor in without someone else's win count being wrong. i guess we'll see

As far as I know, Vanjie, Plastique, Angeria and Jorgeous have been working together for months/years in RDR Live in Vegas or Werq the World. I'm sorry but I need drama to watch this show. I couldn't care less about story arcs and friendly banter. That's why S14 is an all-time low unwatchable season and S5/6 are considered the pinnacle of the show. Edited April 11 by dumbsparce

I couldn't care less about story arcs and friendly banter. That's why S14 is an all-time low unwatchable season and S5/6 are considered the pinnacle of the show. i didn't say i agree with it! i just think that, considering how many queens have been declining the call recently because of the format/potential reputation damage from flopping, production has to do something to get them on board or risk another panned season of early outs a la as8 (to clarify, i don't think the fact it was mostly early-mid outs was the reason the season was disliked). even with the nonelim format of as9 we still couldn't get a season where every queen has at least one challenge win but at least between the eight of them they have 15 wins compared to as8's eight (which had four more queens) and the lowest placing queen is one of the series' biggest ever social media stars compared to one first out and two second elims from a purely production standpoint, they need heavy hitters for ratings. it's not untrue that plastique, gottmik, and vanjie have bigger audience pulls than monica beverly hillz and naysha lopez. if they need to move to a nonelimination format or guarantee every queen a minimum episode count, they will. at the end of the day the core drag race fanbase will still watch regardless but the wider audience is needed to some degree nonetheless 1

Someone spilled that a while back (I specifically remember seeing a reliable spiller write out pl4stique ti4r4 as an AS9 spill iirc) 4 wins: Roxxxy and Plastique 3 wins: Angeria and Nina (potentially Jorgeous) 2 wins: Vanjie and Shannel (potentially Jorgeous) 1 win: Gottmik Jorgeous winning only two challenges would bring the total win count to 21, which would make sense if the lip sync episode only has one winner, the finale has no challenge winners, and the other 10 episodes have two winners each. But she might've won 3 and someone else's win count goes down to one? Or maybe being top two in the lip sync episode gets you a badge but not a win? Idk. I'll comb back through the tea checker later to see if we get get a clue as to who wins what. I do remember Gottmik winning SG (along with Nina?), Roxxxy winning the 1st episode and at least one design challenge, Angie wins the lip sync smack down, and there is a second celebrity impersonation challenge besides SG.
