If Aja had paid for a lot of work to be done, she needs to demand a refund. Yes, she can move but that is it.
Shangela is now polished and professional. Good to see.
Chi Chi was a mess. Bebe has work to do to catch up.
Milk is still too quirky.
I wish I could watch it all now. Not patient!

So glad to have this back! I think the right two were in the bottom and top but was surprised who was voted off, really liked Chi Chi in her season so am not sorry to have her stay. Can understand the reasoning why Ben voted the way he did, and may well have been tempted to make the same choice had I been in that position. I was getting a bit tired of everyone doing the "I'm going to lip synch and dance to my own track" routine, so glad that Ben, Thorgy and Trixie added some variety. That lip synch was one of the best.

I was more than happy with the result this week. The talent show was dull in comparison to previous years, too much “dancing to a track” for my liking. Thorgy, Trixie and Ben the best by far, and of the dancers Aja did put on more of a show. I was disappointed by Chi Chi as I thought she was great on season 8, I was so pleased to see her on All Stars. Something’s not quite right with her though. I was happy with the outcome of the bottom two as they were truly the worst. I don’t blame DeLa for that decision either, in the same position I would do the same.

Could Milk get any more gorgeous? I could get obsessed...

Milk is gorgeous but she made a crap Celine! Ben and Shangela did well. Bebe was just herself and didn't deserve the praise. Thorgy was also dealt a bit of a duff hand, stuck with Stevie Nicks up against those other divas. And Vanessa Williams doesn't age.

The wonderful Christina Bianco provided most of the vocals for this.

Her Celine was pretty awful. But I can see why he was upset.
The choice of divas was not fair. Some were given far better lyrics/choreo/staging to work with - it is far easier to shine when someone has given you something worth polishing.
Ben was probably more impressive than Shangela in that respect as Julie Andrews was a far tougher role to make modern, edgy and funny than Mariah. Bebe is just phoning it in.

The show is definitely set up to give some of the girls more to do than others, I often think that in the challenges. Not that I'd ever suggest that reality TV is at all staged or rigged... 😁 it is unfair though when some of them had way more of an opportunity to shine than others. I don't rate Trixie or Thorgy but they were given boring roles and could do little with them. At the moment it's a 2 horse race between Shangela and Ben I think, with Ben currently leading 😁

Buh bye Thorgy. Milk out next week. Shangela to win. Although Shangela has improved massively since her first two failed appearances, I really don't want her to win. She has had her comeback moment. Milk probably doesn't have much further to go - even though she is far more interesting and creative (and pretty) than many of the others. Ben is the one for me. Real comedic flair and they need that in the Hall of Fame to work in contrast with the other two winners. |

Well Thorgy was the weakest so deserved to go, but he was somewhat hamstrung by being given Stevie Nicks. I would rather that there was a mini-challenge and the queens either chose for each other or for themselves who they got.
Not getting the love for Bebe, her Diana Ross was good but the runway look was dull so I don't think she deserved to be in the top 3.
I really like Milk, Chi Chi and Trixie but they're not exactly setting the competition alight so probably won't be around much longer. Ben for the win.

No-one is going to turn up with a Stevie Nicks/Dolly/Mariah outfit just on the off chance. Same with the week 1 Challenge. |

There is the theory going round that Bebe isn't there as a real contestant. She is a mole who will end up judging alongside Ru in the final.
She will just coast through. Not winning, not being in the bottom. And then emerge as a plant and also boosting her own profile as a result.
Sounds plausible to me. She certainly isn't putting much effort in so far.

That Bebe theory might hold some weight. I've never particularly rated her but it did seem unfair that a previous champion should be allowed to compete in AllStars (unless they have a Champion Of Champions series and have all the winners competing)

I'm not the biggest fan of Thorgy, but he was definitely screwed over this week. Shangela had all her comedy written into the Mariah part, all she really had to do was know the words. Compared to everyone else, Stevie Nicks really isn't in the same league as the others.
I was very disappointed that Milk was moaning about not being in the top. I like him alot but he wasnt doing himself any favours.
Also, in the runway looks, Bebe never really had a bad outfit during her season, so she just came in another frock.

Absolutely wrong decision tonight. It was clear from the edit that was the direction the show was going tonight. But still doesn't make it the right one.
How can you send not send home someone who has been at the bottom of every challenge? Grrr

How can you send not send home someone who has been at the bottom of every challenge? Grrr Roxxy..... Andrews and I’m here to make it clear... I was happy with the result - the format lends itself to popular queens getting the chop if the don’t stay out of the bottom. I think it was fair considering the crappy way she overshadowed Trixie. |

Trixie could have fought for her space in the limelight - and didn't.
I guess it was frustrated at the fact that the obviously weaker candidate is getting away with it for the 3rd week. As far as I am concerned, that is not taking everything into consideration. That is just bad professional judgement...

I don't think there was a lot Trixie could do actually.

I don't think there was a lot Trixie could do actually. I agree. Other than shouting over Milk, which would have descended the entire scene into chaos, which would have made Trixie look just as desperate. Given the circumstances there was little else Trixie could do. |

Agree that the edit was so geared towards the result tonight. And after she slagged off Kennedy, she loaded her own gun. Chi Chi has all but given up. She'll go next week.
Ben was my favourite in the challenge.
