Oh I just saw if the lip sync assassin wins then the person who goes home is decided by

where else can we watch

In the meantime episode 1 of the second season of Werq the World is still not released despite having June 2nd as premiere date, and WoW is silent about it.
Makes me wonder if AS5 will even air in the US tonight.

Putting my view in spoilers tags since I know people in the UK don't have it on Netflix right now:

Spoiler:

I think it was a very solid first episode. Loved the extravaganza, most of them did really great.

Jujubee is a scream, it's SO good to see her back!

Shocked at Mayhem, I wish she did better because she's a strong contender!
Pleasantly shocked at India! That was a number! Loved the lipsync too, even though Yvie does the same tricks, but that's her thing I suppose.

Not sure how I feel about this new twist. Blair made a valid point on Untucked: the safe queens don't get to hear the critiques. I need to see how it's going to hold in future episodes.

Not surprised at Derrick. I suppose the drama got to her and anyway she was a filler in the first place. This drama was already tiring so I'm happy it's over on the first episode.

Spoiler:


It was a decent first episode but this is the 4th season In a row now with the reading challenge and the talent show in the first episode. The majority of queens dancing didn’t really help keep it that exciting either. Mariah though :love:

I’m not 100% sold on the new twist yet. I’m not sure what the incentive is for the lipsyync assassin to win really. A queen like Yvie has already proved she’s a great performer and is likely getting paid whether she wins or not so why try so hard to ensure a queen like India doesn’t win 10k.

Anyone have a link of where to watch it? xxx

thanks sis xx

Smithy 06-06-2020 11:21 AM

Just watched, thought it was a good Ep, but I’d have sent Mayhem home I really don’t know why she’s even there, she didn’t deliver on her season and she’s failed to deliver at the most opportune moment

Braden 06-06-2020 12:00 PM

That was a good episode but the main moment for me was Yvie lip-syncing and reminding me exactly why I supported her throughout S11.

Saph 06-06-2020 12:38 PM

Thought it was a good first ep

Mariahs performance was something I was not expecting but it was great. Jujubee's was great too, she actually has a good voice! Shea and India also did good.

Blairs was a little crap imo idk how she was safe.. Derrick and Mayhem deserved bottom 2, both of theirs were awful. Onginas was bad too but it was a little more entertaining than the other two.

India was robbed of winning the lipsync tbh, Yvie brought the same old tricks she did last season.. In the wise words of Rajah O'hara: "I'm not gagging. I mean I'm gagging from like *sniff* the smell. It's like, bitch, do you bathe?"

Shaun 06-06-2020 02:22 PM

Watching it now, thanks for the link :love:

The Derrick/India drama is confusing and not really that specific enough to be entertaining or of interest so it's just a bit of filler at this point... but damn, Derrick really has no self-awareness and is willing to sleepwalk right into another "petty, dumb bitch" edit :skull:

The reading challenge was alright, loved Blair's India read and Mariah's rose petals :love: I thought I'd hate Ongina but there was something endearing about her struggling.

Alexis' performance :love: I adore her sfm.

Jigs 06-06-2020 02:31 PM

I really enjoyed the episode last night considering we now know exactly what to expect from the first episode of an All Stars season. The entrance looks were fine, the reading challenge was actually pretty funny (minus Ongina...) and I also enjoyed most of the performances in the talent show. Ricky Martin was also a really entertaining guest judge and it was pretty endearing to see him having such a ball during the taping.

The Derrick/India drama was great for one episode and the outcome of the episode became pretty clear once it was decided that India was the winner of the challenge. I love Derrick and would've preferred a Mayhem elimination as I feel like Derrick has more to offer... but I can't be too mad!

Shaun 06-06-2020 02:57 PM

THAT LIPSYNC :worship: India should've won it for doing that runway slide straight onto a ****ing crumpled Yvie though :clap1:

I agreed with the bottom two, although I'd have had Jujubee in the top 3 over Cracker but then I am biased :hee:

I was surprised by Mariah's performance... I didn't know what to expect but given the state of the world at the moment it was something that really threw me off balance. It didn't make much use of the stage though and I guess making a statement is always going to leave the audience less entertained than a neck-breaking choreo number.

Samm 06-06-2020 03:09 PM

A strong first episode. I'm glad the India / Derrick drama is out of the way. That **** would of been tiring. Out of the performances Shea, Mariah, Juju and India impressed me the most. I do like the concept of the new twist it's execution is just a little confusing at first.

Derrick was right to go home first, I think this episode has told me that I really need to watch S8 again at some point because I actually liked Derrick in that season but can't stand him now :skull: the whole complaining about being stuck in Britney when he walked in as knee, wore a Britney wig and costume in the performance and had a Britney jumper on in the confessionals :skull: girl get a grip.

Josiah. 06-06-2020 03:22 PM

I watched both the main episode and untucked live last night, and they've changed things a bit with the eliminated queen. Instead of the eliminated queen write their lipstick message at the end of the main episode, they are doing it at the end of untucked.

Also, if you want to know the voting breakdown, just go to the wikipedia page; although I can say the vote was 8-2 (7-2 if you exclude India).

Braden 06-06-2020 03:28 PM

In terms of how I would've ranked the performances:

TOP: Mariah, Cracker and Alexis (would've been Jujubee but I heard she lip-synced her song?)
SAFE: Blair, India, Jujubee and Shea
BOTTOM: Mayhem, Ongina and Derrick (even though I kind of love how much of a hot mess it was)

Headie 06-06-2020 04:08 PM

The talent shows really do nothing for me anymore. It's just queens lip-syncing/dancing to their original songs to try and get more exposure. Which is why I LOVE performances like Gia's from AS3, or Mariah's from this ep, that actually have meaningful context to them.

Having said that, I did love Alexis, Juju and India's performances, and I absolutely think India should've won that lip sync. Not too bothered about the elimination but I hope the drama will come from somewhere good this season as clearly Derrick was cast mainly for the fights/arguments.

Also really liked Ricky Martin as a guest judge :love:

Anyone have any tea on who the other lip sync assassins are gonna be this season?

Headie 06-06-2020 04:09 PM

I find Cracker and Blair SO underwhelming as well but I'm assuming fan pandering will mean they end up as the final two.

Samm 06-06-2020 04:23 PM

I have always felt Cracker was underwhelming but I sense some growth in Blair.
