Rappin' Roast

Can we get something else now??? Frfr??

"I'm that b!tch, don't mess with me, teehee"

Ugh. Jesus. Gross.

Bullies that try to make up for their insecurities by being mean "but in a funny way" is so tired (and borderline abusive) *COUGHMIBCOUGHIRENECOUGH* But "it's just TV, it's drama" and y'all *laplaplap* it up like thristy dogs.

This bracket formatting was questionable from the beginning, but now I find it unbearable with this current bracket. Lydia being objectified left and right (even though she's doing it to herself, obviously as a "schtick") is grossing me out.

I also, absolutely do not care for how they're playing with (backstabbing) the earlier season queens, first Phoenix, now Nicole? I mean... wtf? First, it's repetitive? Second, these are legacy queens and this is how production/queens treat them? (mind you I'm not even a fan of either Phoenix or Nicole, but it was sad to watch). But I guess a lot of Drag Race fans are sad little bullies like MIB/Irene seeing the state of comment sections.

I miss Aja. And that's on growth.

(I didn't use to like Aja, she was basically another one of those "I'm evil, I'm a b!tch, deal with it" one note type character, but I love her evolution)

It's extremely irritating watching a TV show which is supposed to be centred around REALITY, but is nothing of the sort. This is a competition based show where people come to advance their careers, build a platform and also win cash prizes. Watching this show feels like after every performance production sends out pages to the judges who skim them and then try to convince the viewers that this is what you should think, even though we have eyes and ears. The judges will try to nitpick something which makes no sense and is in no way logical or sound. You could say I'm biased, but when someone I have no interest in seeing winning gets snubbed and told they are "unclear in their words" or "nervous", etc and then I watch their entire verse and it's extremely clear, well preformed and full of energy and excitement... what is going on here? Next episode we are going to see someone who did the best get taken out of the Top 2 because a missing gemstone on their outfit "took the judges out of the fantasy", like give it a break with the obvious marketing tactics and trying to scrounge up money on these contestants. They know how they can market one person over another and how the general public will like them, so they try to convince us they did well over someone they see as "unmarketable" to build their platforms up. Bigger fanbases = more money the production company can soak up off of them on the drag race Vegas, dragcon, all these drag tours. It's pretty gross.

Mistress is just too mean. It reminds me of school bullies and it's just not fun to watch. Given how much the audience has endured bullying I think this is a casting mistake to have Mistress there being just so rude and awful to Nicole and others. It's too much watching her push beyond funny into really cruel.

People are so dramatic! Last season of All Stars was fun, but it was a tad dry drama wise. You can't be at these girls since we haven't had real juicy drama during All Stars 5. This episode gave us everything we need from drag race All Stars, and exactly why this format is working. Mistress Isabelle Brooks & Jorgeous, y'all are so nasty...in the best way possible! This is the level of villainy I expect from an All Stars season of this show. We NEED TV characters like this to root for, to bring drama, etc. I was so tired of the kumbaya DR, this series needed to be waken up and the girls did that! Every single girl in this bracket brings something different and fills a different category of drag which I appreciate. Lydia is such a standout, the difference between her confidence on S17 vs now is extremely commendable. Tina Burner and Kerri have both clearly elevated from their seasons too which is awesome to see. And NPBFAG...do I need to say more? Double win for the lipsync would be my only qualm with the episode...I don't think so. But it gave more drama, so bring it on I guess lol.

This episode was top-tier television. The production team nailed it with the tournament format-no dull moments at all.

The first ten minutes? Easily one of the best things to happen on Drag Race in ages. It felt like Big Brother and The Traitors had a fabulous baby with Drag Race. The challenge was phenomenal, and everyone delivered. Kerri's runway? Absolutely stunning. Nicole continues to be reality TV gold, and Chappell Roan reading Michelle was the cherry on top. 👏🏼👏🏼

This episode proves we need an All Stars: All Villains season-ASAP.

It had everything we love about Drag Race.

And for the haters touch grass and smell some fresh air.
