Really a strong cast! I was surprised to see Miss Leona (now known as Leona Winter). I think this is the first time a winner of a drag race franchise competes as a regular contestan on another franchise. Still, to be fair, the Chilean The Switch is a disgrace for the drag race franchise. One of the judges was an explicit supporter of the Chilean dictatorship, the host is a straight women who has no connection to drag, and the production is terrible.
So far I'm loving Magnetica's style. I hope the don't do them dirty like most European season do with South American contestants.

I had no idea the teletubbies were part of the queer community, but seeing the queens reactions to them was priceless.
I was really hoping Shannel would get her win this week, but Roxxxy and Plastique ate that challenge up. I heard Trixie and Mistress talk about how cool it would be for Shannel to not get any wins and have a season 1 monologue moment again. I hope that's not what production is playing at. Yes, that would make good TV, but please show some respect to the drag legends.
I did not like the concept of the challenge much. So corporate =/
This week begins with fiery accusations, and when the queens are tasked with transforming four sexy firefighters into hot pop stars, things really start to sizzle! Country music duo the Brothers Osborne join the judges panel and feel the heat.
The post comes in late since, for my at least, Kbin was down for a few days.
The episode was good. I used that picture of Ross because I laughed so fucking hard when he did that stunt with the leg, and laughed even harder at Ru's reaction.
I was hoping Shannel and Angeria would win, mainly because I'm getting sick of Shannel not getting the recognition she deserves. Her being the only one without a badge feel incorrect. I hope that changes soon.
Romance is in the air as the queens impersonate celebrities in the Snatch Game of Love. But when two All Stars want to play the same celeb, things get spicy! Meanwhile, a twist means that more badges are up for grabs! Pop superstar Anitta stops by.
There were more bombings than I had anticipated for an All Stars season. Highlights were Angeria, Nina, Shannel and Gottmik.
I thought it was crazy Gottmik got the win for that lipsync. Nina fucking deconstructed the very idea of a reveal in that lipsync. That shit was iconic. I am starting to think Gottmik is going to be heavily pushed by production to snatch the crown, or at least make it to the finale. While I do agree she's incredibly talented, when queens are pushed by production I sort of stop liking them =/
Yeah I have mixed feelings about characters on snatch game. There are some notable exceptions though, like Trinity the Tuck's devil, which cracks me up till this day lol
Interesting and related: Noam Chomsky, in his work as linguist, has stated that what reaches the ear (or the eye in this case) is not what reaches the mind. What this means is that we experience language as if it was linearly ordered, when at the cognitive level (in the mind) language is actually hierarchically organized. This means that the underlying structure of language has to interface with the sensory-motoe systems in order to transform the hierarchical structure into a linear one. This is why we sometimes also struggle putting our thoughts into words, because in that interface there is a change in structure that doesn't always preserve the 'original' (hierarchical) structure

Shiiit I love this season already. What an iconic cast. I can already tell there's going to be some of the best confesionals we've seen in the franchise. I am specifically dying for Roxxxy's and Vanje's. Anjeria also delivers.
I think the only queen I'm not really a fan of is Gottmik. For the rest, I live for all of them. It's crazy to see, now I'm watching her again, that I think Shannel is the OG delusional queen LOL
That lipsync was everything. I thought Jorgeous had it at first but Anjeria turned it up. Her old southern christian lady dance really does it for Ru.
At first I wasn't so happy about the cutting a queen off twist, but seeing the queens are taking it like a compliment puts some relief into the whole situation.
And I'm calling it already in episode one: My favorite to take the crown right now is Roxxxy. Let's see how things evolve.
Hi! Back in reddit there was a DID community. Is there something equivalent in the fediverse? I'm not a system myself but I know a few and I am doing some research on the topic, so I'd be really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction
Same here. I used to shave my head and face but recently I went through a period of over-work and didn't have time to shave. Everyone told me I looked better with hair and beard, including the wife. So hair and beard it is then
