Only seen the lipsync and the runways, and know who goes home, but all I'll say RE: the lipsync has already been said by someone more legendary

The lipsync was....something.

I'm fine with Alexis leaving, it was her 3rd shot and she didn't make it count even though she did fine in challenges. And the whole thing with India sunk her in the end.

I'm okay with Cracker winning, even though I thought Jujubee was funnier and made something really good despite having issues with sewing.
Shea wasn't that funny and Blair was a mess.

Next week is Jujubee's week to shine and get that second challenge win so we get an even final 3 with 2 challenges each. No spoilers, but I can hardly see Blair doing something so outstanding that it sends one of the front-runners home.

This season just feels really linear and predictable. We all knew who the top 3 would be when the cast was announced (not a spoiler but like I can’t see any situation where Blair doesn’t leave next week). Blair was the worst this week but she wasn’t getting the elimination story through the episode. I can’t think of the last time a top 4 queen had less character development and airtime that she has had. It’s really just like - well you’re slightly better than S10 so we’ll keep you around whilst the drama sends other queens home

Suppose it’ll be exciting to see who ends up winning, especially if Juju wins next week and they all go into the final with near identical track records

Couldn't stand Alexis this season. Should've got Yara Sofia instead. Final 3 was obvious the second the cast was announced, doesn't really matter what order the other 7 went home in.

For the "cousin character" I'd have ranked them:
1) Cracker
2) Juju
3) Shea
4) Alexis
5) Blair

And for the eleganza I'd have ranked them:
1) Alexis
2) Cracker
3) Shea
4) Juju
5) Blair

So I think that averages out at a fair Cracker win, but this was Blair's time to go I know it's All Stars tradition for someone undeserving to make the top four (Shannel, Roxxxy </3, Kennedy </3 and Naomi) but this is the first time it's someone who hasn't even come close to winning a challenge and it's just... exposing the limits of this format. Yeah we get the usual gag-moments of who chooses whose lipstick, blah blah blah, but Blair St Clair an AllStars (semi)finalist? I don't think.

imagine thinking Naomi was undeserving of a top 4 placement when her only low points were the roast and acting challenge, everything else from her was stellar...

I didn't like anyone in the top 4 in AS4 lol. It was a poor cast.

decent ep, I think Shea should've won over Cracker though.

out of Alexis and Blair I would've probably sent Blair home, but Alexis had kinda run her course too

i tend not to complain to much in terms of all stars when someone goes home because it’s more about strategy and less about “who deserves it” and I kind of like the format because it’s unpredictable at times because blair really based on the competition stats was her time. I HOWLED at juju’s cousin character if it wasn’t for her dress design she would of won that.

i would argue that kennedy and naomi deserved their places. kennedy deserved the win over trixie and in terms of the entire cast was probably the third best behind ben and shangela. naomi also killed it really showed her improvement from S8.

The best four of AS4 were clearly Trinity, Manila, Monet and Monique. Naomi had one challenge win and every other performance was "fine" at best. She was handed "high" placements that were questionable; she did not outperform Gia or Manila in the talent show, and she did not outperform Latrice in the girlbands challenge. Her only valid "high" spot was for Snatch Game, although she did good at Jersey Justice too (just not as good as Manila/Monique/Valentina). So for AS4 it should go: 1/2) Manila & Trinity, 3/4) Monet/Monique

I'm a Kennedy stan and ofc was delighted she made the final, but she was bottom... four times? Most of those were deserved, but she should have been 'safe' for Snatch Game since Trixie and Chi Chi did noticeably worse than her. And had Dela not self-eliminated, Kennedy was the obvious next choice to be eliminated. She was not performing better than Bebe, lol - that was Bebe's first and only time up for elimination and she'd already won twice. Statistically Bebe even beat Trixie. With Dela taking herself out, Kennedy was a deserving finalist, but without it, she sadly wasn't. And making it further than Shangela only rubbed salt in the wound. AS3 top four in order? Dela, Shangela, Bebe, Trixie. With Aja arguably pipping Kennedy to fifth, depending on what she delivered in the episodes she couldn't compete in, and whether you consider her shining in the "Sitting on a Secret" performance as a "win".

Blair making top four is the most bizarre trajectory in AS history she’s barely been edited and not really wowed in any challenge, I do really like her as a person but Alexis deserved her spot for sure.

I’m so mad that Juju/Shea won’t be a joint win this season after the backlash of AS4’s double crowning, they both really deserve it.

If it was RuPaul's Best Confessionals Race then Jujubee won 5 minutes in.

I can't believe Alexis went home after serving THAT look on the runway. Her character was weak but Blair failed on both parts of the challenge. Blair's only contribution to this series has been runway looks and she failed this week in that regard. It was her time to go.

I didn't think Juju's outfit was that bad at all, especially considering her own admitted lack of sewing skill, Cracker had probably the best monologue but I wasn't a fan of her look, the fact that the straps didn't fit properly really bothered me. She really needed a breastplate or some kind of cups to tighten up the chest straps, I think.

I want to know what they’d have done in the event of a tie with the lip sticks

Also the lips sync songs this season have not been the tea, all these boring mid tempo songs, we demand BOPS

It’s annoying in a sense that there’s only one top all star of the week now, otherwise Shea would’ve probably had her third win by now (for her performance this week) and Jujubee would’ve probably been on a four time winning streak from the girl group challenge to Snatch Game.

Yeah, Roxxxy did a decent job with it although her routine didn't fit the song at all (but was still better than Cracker who served us Charlie Hides realness) the songs have been odd choices considering they know who will be the lipsync assassin each time, you'd expect the song choices to play to their strengths.

Perched for Shea presumably snatching herself another 20k next week.

One Last Time is such a weird choice of lipsync song.. its not slow enough to stand and show emotion to but its not fast enough to properly dance to either
