So does Latrice now tie Shangela as the Nikki Grahame of Drag Race for the amount of times they've appeared on the show?

Also winner spoiler

that's not what I heard

Bye we are NOT doing winner spoilers in this thread thank you very much!

Yeah make a spoiler discussion thread so nobody clicks anything by accident :fist:

Thankfully those / any spoilers have been largely proven to be false, anyway.

I do wish they'd done another VH1 special reveal like they did with AS3, that one-off episode was great (random inclusion of Chaka Khan aside, but even then she was a darling). The Trixie/Detox/Katya thing was cute but should've been done in a much better way because all they really did was rehash the same catchphrases we've heard 100 times before and listen to how much Trixie likes Kim Chi. Saying season 8 was "between her and Bob" :hehe: girl Kim was barely there.

Rankings!

1. Trinity
2. Latrice
3. Monique
4. Naomi
5. Monet
6. Farrah
7. Jasmine
8. Valentina
9. Gia
10. Manila

Didn't like Manila much during S3 but there's no denying she's matured / is the queen to beat now, so am looking forward to seeing her win over those putting her bloody last :oh:

:oh:

How dare you!

i suppose i should just be grateful for someone who isn't aboard the Valentina hype train :oh:

If I had to guess I reckon the top 4 will be V, Manila, Trinity and... :think: probably Latrice? Idk

I have a feeling Latrice is gonna be an early boot, her meet the queens vid just gave me that kind of vibe

Jasmine
Trinity
Farrah
Latrice
Monique
Gia
Manila
Monet
Naomi
Valentina

I saw naomi at a show a few weeks ago and she’s pretty good live ngl it changed my view on her, all stars generally changes my views on queens so this rank will most likely change by the end

I'm with you. Valentina is way over rated...
I want Latrice to do well, but the competition seems fierce... and I think Manilla will be in the top three for sure.

Not really a spoiler but I scrutinise something that was said in someone's Meet the Queens video and connected the dots :p

Yep, defintely felt that from Jasmine, not so much Farrah though :think:



First trailer

Manila's artpop could mean anything!

Sooo ****ing perched. My first live season!

Where have ya been, bitch? Where have you bloody been?!

they butchered the confessional background and it hurts my eyes, also why is valentina wearing the same outfit, and why did they change the mainstage background to the original </3

Valentina without eyebrows looks like ET

The queens have gathered in NYC to film an entire cast interview with BUILD. Starts at 00:00 GMT on the BUILD YouTube channel.

They've done these before and they're really, really enjoyable, so I would definitely recommend it to people who haven't watched the ones with the AS2 and AS3 casts. It serves as a fun prelude to the season and there are teases of what may happen (like last year's when Kennedy made it blatant that she and Milk had a problem, lmao).

The alleged elimination order (right up to the top 2 queens) has apparently leaked so... be vigilant girls if you don't want it spoiled :worry: (it's an...interesting top two, is all I'll post on the matter, and can see it quite easily being incorrect).

Edit: loved the BUILD talks with AS2/3 although I think Bob hosted the one for 2 and people found her annoying and talking over everyone all the time? Which I didn't mind because it meant less Alyssa catchphrases.

Bob was such **** host but I kinda loved it. I just remember him constantly making references back to his own season and using every opportunity to make an unnecessary joke, lmao.

I might watch. Only on season 4 mind but I can't get All stars on Netflix so I might have to watch it.

:fist:
:bawling:

Not sure if this was posted already?

They're perfect, they're beautiful, they look like they're doing press in NYC.

We love an iconic press interview where the majority of queens throw shade at RuPaul.

As much as I love Latrice. I was hoping they'd bring her back for an all miss congeniality/fan favourite season with Nina Flowers, Pandora Boxx, Yara Sofia, Ivy Winters, Bendelacreme, Katya, Cynthia, Valentina and Monet X Change.

Jasmine, Farrah and Gia scream filler. At the rate the show is going, everyone will be back at least once more and every time the All Star tag diminishes. It should've been saved for Top 4 queens and Miss Congeniality's IMO.

However it is what it is at this point. Hope to see Acid Betty in AS5, to add a different flavour.

As for AS4. My chunky and funky goddess is my favourite, she won't win because choices. Plus they have the narrative of the older queens being largely forgotten as the seasons roll out. Especially by the younger contestants (see Morgan and Tatiana). I doubt they'll like it when they're considered the oldies!

I do like some Monet and Monique though.

It's so painful watching Valentina answer questions <3 a vapid queen

Omg, Naomi's response to how to win All Stars.

Latrice DRAGGING AS1 :joker:

Trinity and Valentina were serving two senior school girls who were inseparable, always dressed/looked the same and silently judged everyone else REALNESS.

Farrah with the party city wig

Trinity, Monique, Monet, Latrice, Gia and Naomi all come across very well.

Valentina is a bit awkward, Farrah seems a little bitter, Manila is surprisingly quiet and it is pretty evident that Jasmine was not allowed to smoke backstage </3

Monique was the STAR of the interview. Totally here for AS4 even if it's just her screaming and serving looks :love:
