Eh. I didn't really think they were that funny, and laganja was funny for the wrong reason.
I get that drag queens are expected to be funny, but there's a difference between playing off a crowd and performing a set.

I love the stand up challenge because it's a guaranteed hot mess tbh. And that is fun to watch.

I just finished up season 4 (for the 3rd time) and untucked (for the first time) and it has only made me dislike phi phi more. She really has not changed, at all. :/
fml, that's gold.

I have to kinda respect her since her conflict with Willam made for some truly compelling television.

Katya needs to win the next episode to be back in the game tbh. Right now the top three looks to be Alaska/Detox/Alyssa

Yeah, she was super strong the first couple episodes but now she seems to be floundering a bit. Hope she steps it up.
Masked Man
I said wow
Yeah, my Russian hooker's definitely got the potential to win. I just hope she steps it up next week and really wows us. I also think Tati has a shot at going really far.
At least Katya is memorable.
Tati gave me Holli Would with that lipsync. WHEW
And funny
Blackthorn
"hello?" "this is vagina"
Phi Phi going home looking like something Geralt would behead was perfect, beautiful justice.
Literally a neon pink sea hag. Screaming a bit now.

Wow the lip-sync in this episode was the best one all season this far I think.
Also, god damn, Phi-phi just phi-phi-ed all the way through this despite all the talk of turning over a new leaf, etc. Her drag with the cosplay looks has become sooo much more compelling than what it was before, but she went home looking real militant and bitter. :/

Im so glad phi phi went home.
she was becoming unbearable to watch. All that new leaf talk was bullshit.

Yeah, my friend remarked Phi Phi looked like Ursula getting stabbed in the chest when she saw both girls pull out her lipstick, lol.

Is RuPaul friends with Matt Drudge?
Every so often, he links to conspicuously complimentary articles about the show and about Ru. Really odd considering his audience. Like, he seemed positively jubilant when Ru won the Emmy.

It's not too surprising if
you remember Ru's stance on the use of the word tranny...

Phi Phi just can't help herself can she. She is her own worst enemy.
I like this type of come back episode, I forget if they did it in season 8 or not, but I remember the conjoined twins challenge from season 7, so I hope they continue to do it next season, it gives all the early girls a chance for extra airtime. And it just so happens the stars aligned for this particular one for it to be a legendary episode.

Ha! This bothered me too!

Loved Adore in her season, but if her ungraceful exit was the reason both Alyssa and Tatianna could stay on in order to get the number of queens back to where it's supposed to be, then I'm grateful.

In season 8 they brought Naysha Lopez back (lol) but it was in like episode 3 so it wasn't very dramà
I was wondering if she deliberately styled herself that way as a reference to her season or if she genuinely still looks raggedy.

So what went down between willam and the show? Why isn't he invited back to things?

Right of course, illustrating why I completely forgot about it too!

Admittedly it's been years but it sounds like you're giving ol girl way too much credit with the former theory.
I know that Phi Phi 'needs to know when to shut up' but I hate some viewers more for taking her so seriously. Like, it's fine to 'booo' her, but I can imagine how much venom and death threats she's receiving and that's really sad.
Phi Phi, more than ever, has defined herself as a Rupaul's Drag Race All Star, and I feel that she should be celebrated for that. Unfortunately for her, she's a sensitive person who's unable to really embrace the pantomime villain role because SHE takes herself so seriously -- despite the 'riddle me this, riddle me that' stuff.
Still, only a really basic fan, or a 13 year old, would be unable to stand back and see her role in a wider context and not appreciate her legacy within the show.
PS. Season 4 Phi Phi: I hated her attitude towards Willam. I feel uncomfortable when watching Untucked because I hate seeing people be bullied/isolated, even if they're Willam and can handle themselves. STILL, she was perfect casting in that she tested and antagonised Willam's calculated schtick.

I'm not 13 but I don't appreciate her at all. I just find her very unpleasant both on and off the show.
Doesn't mean I'm gunna harass her tho, I don't get why people think that's ok. It's pretty disgusting.

Same here she is just too aggressive even at some petty shit. But she doesnt deserve threats.
Laganja was invited to AS2, but she had to cancel her appearance last minute. That last tidbit was pure speculation.

I wish there was more details but thank u, it increased my understanding a bit
God, what would an All-Stars season be like with both Shangela and Willam? As much as this All-Stars is great, my very rigid objective side says that the lack of these two queens as contestants invalidates the entire concept. I can't look past it. I don't care if they're 'bigger than the show.'
