RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 2 *Trailer Now Out* — Page 3

Thanks, Kad, I suspected as much. I mean, who would ask to satirize a still-beloved and tragic figure like Princess Di? Even Queen Elizabeth or Margaret Thatcher would be a choice more ripe for comedy. Eleanor Roosevelt? Mrs. Clinton? Leona Helmsley?

There are so many better choices, I can't help but think that someone was trying to make it impossible for Katya to shine this week.

Katya was sabotaged with that Lady Di assignment. She's simply not a funny character. As a symbol (and this has nothing to do with the actual person), she's bland, beloved, and tragic. To include her in that kind of line up with the likes of Annie Oakley, Catherine the Great, and Eve is simply misguided and terribly unfair. The other queens can say all they want, but Alyssa made the right choice. Ginger's comment about how she was let go because Alyssa is trying to get rid of the competition shows how delusional she is. Ginger is a boring drag queen, she's a very good musical theater performer, and that's sort of where it ends. Katya is a genius artist, and Alyssa gets that. Alaska is the frontrunner, but Alyssa returned this season as one of the smartest contestants--in other words, she gets the game and how to succeed in it. I think she could be a surprise winner.

According to Katya on her latest Total Ru-Call, she was initially assigned Marie Antoinette and then was re-assigned Lady Di.

Tatianna was originally assigned Princess Di, but was changed to Joan of Arc. Coco was Cleopatra & Adore was Frida Kahlo. You can hear the parts that the eliminated queens had on the single release of Baddest Bitches. Frida Kahlo's section is god awful and it's a good thing that Adore walked off because it would of not gone down well had they used it in the show.

Cleopatra's part was awesome

RUPAUL WON AN EMMY! RUPAUL WON AN EMMY!

He was defnitely getting choked up over this and I just loved his speech. "I was once quoted as saying I'd rather have an Enema than an Emmy. But thanks to the Television Academy I CAN HAVE BOTH!"

In case anyone is interested: It seems as though Phi Phi just spoiled the next episode. It's not difficult to figure out who is top, bottom and eliminated, if you have seen the sneak for the next episode and read Phi Phi's tweet.

I saw her tweets, and if that's true what happens, I am VERY disappointed. There might be a better reason than just being petty, but if it's being petty, then that is disappointing. I do think they are trying to make Phi Phi look like the villain again, but I don't like this pettiness.

Also, why did RoXy get redemption this season (in terms of editing) and not Phi Phi?

There was a live viewing last week where Phi Phi said a LOT of things about the edit. One of the things was that Jeremy's (? Is that his name? Guest judge?) "This is fashion!" comment wasn't about Alyssa, at all, and was said about Detox. So, coincidentally, I am sure , Logo, for the first time ever, uploaded Alyssa's full critiques from Carson and Jeremy. "This is fashion!" WAS about Alyssa. They are clapping back.



I was buying Phi Phi's, "It's the edit!" stuff, at first. I don't think one can now. She did a 3-4 hour Periscope last night and then deleted it. I only saw a few minutes, but it is all messy.

RoXy has also been better about owning her past behavior than Phi Phi. I'm not even sure if Phi Phi is even aware of the things she does.

Phi Phi O'Hara belongs in the big gay picnic basket of Ruplorables.

Christ, I hate Phi Phi.

While watching the lipsync, I genuinely wondered why Phi Phi is there, other than for drama. Every other queen on the show has had at least one fabulous moment that's really gag-worthy, but has Phi Phi ever had one of those ever? She's a perfectly competent queen, to be sure. But put her next to someone like Alaska (who cemented even further her status at the top of the pack this episode) and she's just so ordinary.

I am sad that Alyssa went home. Her performance wasn't great, but Blanche is always going to be the less interesting role of that duo. Meanwhile RoXy didn't deliver at all in a part that gave her a lot of opportunities. And *why* was Katya in the bottom? She stumbled for a second while filming, but was great in the final product and her runway made me cackle with the reveal.
