I was disappointed by the finale.
Song was mediocre (and the lyrics mainly inaudible)
Final 3 runway looks were weaker than many worn by the eliminated queens
Lipsync was one of the weakest of the season
And the result was predictable and not based on the best performance of the evening or the season
At least I have Canada to enjoy - and that Ilona needs to be gone... Have had my fill of her attention-seeking fake drama.

Amazing line up, really looking forward to this! I thought Netflix had the contract for all-stars, but according to DigitalSpy it premieres on May 20 at 8am on WOW presents plus, starting with 2 episodes + untucked.

The season has a completely new way of operating. I won't spoiler people.
But don't expect it be anything like any other All Stars season

Can’t wait to see Jinkx Monsoon again, legend!

This line up is amazing, I'd loved to have seen Bianca and Bob in there but they've both been very vocal about not wanting to compete again. Bob says she will compete if the prize money is at least 500k though...

Very exciting first two episodes. Cool idea with the whole “block” and no eliminations system as well, although I think they should have a bottom 4 up for blocking each week, rather than just everyone who’s not in the top 2. The critiques were all a bit too positive for my liking, just because they’re all winners doesn’t mean they should be immune from negative feedback!
Jinkx knocked that snatch game out of the park though, especially the Judy Garland half. The runways are spectacular as expected.

I haven't watched episode 2 yet. But the quality of looks is very high.
Who would have thought that Old MacDonald would provide such a memorable lipsync?

I've just binged the first three episodes of All Stars 7, and I must say I am really enjoying myself! I got so burnt out from Drag Race over the last year or so, so I haven't even watched the newest installments of the US series and I didn't watch UK vs. The World.
Clearly the star quality is here with this cast, and I love the new rule that is keeping contestants on the show! The more we get to see of all these queens, the better.

The latest Drag Race Espana has also been excellent

The latest Drag Race Espana has also been excellent I loved the first season, probably my favorite season of Drag Race ever. I loved every single queen. This season is great and has some amazing queens in it, but I haven't warmed to any of them on a human level like I did with everyone on Season 1. All Winners has been great so far...apart from the endless fraudulent cackling from queens who shall not be named. |

Another strong episode from the winners
I would like the judges to actually judge and not just gush.
Shea had a weak runway for the second week running. But not a word was said.
Monet was not up to scratch in the challenge. Again silence
They are all good. But please point out the obvious minor slips

Also found it funny when the queens were in the workroom before the challenge, saying Monét was very good at improv when she was in the bottom for both improv challenges on Season 10 and All Stars 4. |

I was also not best pleased to see JBC back.
After his behaviour on the Canada version, I would rather he wasn't asked to judge again
And I know he claims he was forced into the villain role. But I don't buy that.

I must agree with that sentiment, I really was not happy to see JBC back. Fortunately it seems we will be blessed next week with the incredible Nikki Glaser!
The judging has been a bit "off" this season. Honestly, I didn't think Monet or Shea gave memorable performances in their improv, and Shea's runway outfit this episode was just atrocious. I get that it's an All Winners season, but I would like to see some critique on the weaker moments.
For me, this is the Jinkx Monsoon show. She has been consistently delivering in both her performances and runways week on week. Trinity is also excelling this season, I am so impressed with her. I would like to see a bit more love for Yvie also, who I think had a really strong week!

Canada is an utter ****show and by far the worse series in the whole franchise. All the judging is terrible across both seasons and all of the judges are atrocious. Don’t even start me in the host. This can all only be down to terrible direction/production, so even though I cannot stand JBC I believe his story.
I thought he seemed very genuine when he visited the workroom in Untucked and for the first time ever he didn’t act like a brain dead Himbo blurting out cliched assigned ‘Rupaulisms’ and was just being himself.
I’m certainly not a fan, but I did warm to him after seeing Untucked.

Well, it is clear now we have a definite front runner and confirmed finalist in Jinkx Monsoon.
Who are the other three queens we would like to see join Jinkx in the top 4?

Trinity, Jaida and Viv have been the other top performers for my money
Two have definitely underwhelmed - Monet and Shea.
There is another twist coming

After a dreadful twist last week, we ended the season with a really lacklustre set of lip syncs. I fell asleep 3 times watching the episode this afternoon.
They managed to take a really successful series and ruin it with the final 2 episodes.
Producers need to stop manipulating and let things happen.
I am much enjoying Drag Race France. This week had the first ever lip sync to make me sob. So emotional.

This week had the first ever lip sync to make me sob. So emotional. I was disappointed with the lip syncs throughout the season. My guess was that the format was the culprit - they didn't lip synch do decide who went home, so the stakes were not as high. But the lacklustre lip syncs from the finale have just debunked my theory. |

I can't believe Down Under started again this week
Though I think this is a better balanced cast than season 1

Parts of this made me laugh. I’m a big admirer of Steve Harvey - could have put it in the Game Show thread too.
