I miss the live crowning so much. It was so fun seeing the queen genuinely win, instead of them having to tape each queen winning. I also miss seeing all the Queens do a finale runway, I love that the international shows seem to bring everyone back.
Agreed, I miss seeing the winning queen's genuine reaction, now they do this lame thing where the top 3 or 4 watches the finale and while we do get genuine reactions then, it's not the same.
@@ollietaro Nope there never was a live crowning. The first three seasons did not have multiple crownings but when Raja was leaked they moved to the new format. In S4+ they filmed before a live audience but still did multiple crownings (and in S4 they did NOT warn the crowd before so Chad was crowned first and then they reset to do the other crownings). I think by far the worst thing they did was S6 when they did Bianca, Adore and a double but never did a Courtney crowning (even though Courtney had done VASTLY better than Adore).
There are one or two you guys missed. Arguably the biggest one is the Season 9 premiere. First main season to not have a design challenge first episode, first main season to not have an elimination episode 1. Season 11 had the dumb twist: 6 way lipsync. Also UK3 also was the first season to have the top 2 and bottom 2 both lipsync.
I might be in the minority but I would love an AS1 type All star season again but with the queens preparing as teams and coming as teams on the show. That way they can prepare complimentary runways etc...
@Todor Boychev these are not twists per definition, however, since no drag queen before Envy Peru was to be a guest judge it is notable that it took so long and therefore could be considered a twist since it could open up to drag queens guest judging on s14 e.g. And in changing the most iconic challenge to a different format on an Allstar edition could also lead towards changing the format on the regular edition or even creating different formats for the original seasons.
Victoria Scone didn't get an open invitation to return because the BBC hadn't commissioned UK season 4 at the time of the filimg. Hence why it's just the I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of her.
Even though AS1 didn’t work, I think a team season where the contestants actually know they’re working in teams would be great. I bet there’s tons of friend duos that would love to audition. Like imagine a season where theres duos like Kita Mean and Anita or Bob and Monet. It think it could work well. Plus I think the runways would be killer cause they would have time to coordinate looks unlike AS1.
Or imagine if it wasn't an allstars season. So you get all new duos coming in like we had with Kita and Anita, imagine if Sugar and Spice came on a season like that?
For Art I did hear that they lost the footage to their lip sync, so like the next day or whenever after Art was already eliminated had to come back and redo their lip sync and some people think that is one of the reasons Ru brought Art back
They already filmed episode three by the time they had to re-film episode two. So they just asked her to stay because she had to come back well after she’s been eliminated, And re-film her elimination
Can I just say, you guys are fantastic. I don’t know how you manage to put out so much great content so quickly. You’re machines! Please never stop. I don’t know what I’d do with my time!
With Victoria I think ru said “we haven’t seen the last of her” is because of the roast coming this week with the eliminated queens but 🤞 that she comes back for S4
Fun fact: It has been confirmed that the original Art vs Coco lip sync footage was lost and so they had to refilm it after the queens had already got out of drag and Art went home. So they had to bring Art back to refilm her elimination, this was confirmed by Art in a now deleted tweet. People suggest that this was the reason why Art was brought back.
In regards to Art's return, it is rumoured that the reason she was allowed to return to the competition is because they lost the footage of her lip sync and elimination so everyone had to refilm it and Art had to redo the lip sync and redo all of her elimination, which could be why she was so angry. I know i'd be annoyed if i'd been eliminated and had to relive it all again.
Great episode! Re Roxxxy’s lip sync assassin story: they were originally going to do “Why’d You Come In Here Looking Like That?” by Dolly Parton. Which is a bop - but not a Roxxy song. Country isn’t in Roxxy’s wheelhouse, and she didn’t think she’d do the song any justice. Hopefully, however, they do that song in a later season - cos it’s amazing!
Ginger was fucked over by her contract, she was contractually obligated to go to all stars when she got the call (s7 girls all had this) so she was forced to do as2 less than a year after filming season 7. thats why she was let back, because she wasnt given time to prepare
hold up. Mera mentioned a S14 twist was a "lip sync for your pleasure." now, i don't know what that means but i'm almost certain whatever that was ended up being used for the post-Snatch Game lip sync tournament we all knew that tournament had to have been planned in some capacity since x many episodes of the season had to have been made and you have to purchase the rights to all those songs in advance. crazy seeing that it was most likely already being alluded to months ahead of time (i know spoilers and rumors float around for a long time, but i didn't realize the extent of it)
I think a good twist would be if they do a all winners all stars season they get told the entire season they get a special prize then at the finale it gets revealed that the special prize is they get to be host since ru is retireing
I think it would be nice for the top 3/4 queens to choose their own songs and show us their best performance for the crown. Let each do their own thing and then pick the winner... like Thailand. I couldn't understand a word in TDR but I enjoyed it and the runway looks... (Bandit)mhmmm .
Idk if this is a Twist but Drag Race Holland 2 is the very first season wich the first challenge is a Variety Show, and it's a good idea bc proves the talent for each queen, instead of a design challenge or wrote a verse and make a performance.
love the little twists, it keeps it interesting! They definitely don't all work, but how could they? You got to have mistakes to make magic lol. I absolutely hate when they do a design challenge on the first episode because it feels like such a waste for the girls but really love the runway and girl group thing for a first episode
I have a little tea concerning Canada's Drag Race S2 Tour. The dates are out and even with a third of the cast coming from Québec there's not a single date for a show in Montreal and Québec City. From what I saw on Adriana's instagram people are pissed
If all stars 1 did teams but they APPLIED as a team that would be cool cause they can work together instead of being blindsided…. Wait… why am I getting amazing race vibes but drag?
Also another reason why the porkchop lounge was terrible was because it basically guaranteed none of the queens who lost that first lip sync could win, therefore making the season much more predictable.
I wonder if the "lip sync for your pleasure" is going to be like Silky's Barbie Girl performance- where it's requested if there either isn't a lipsync or everyone else gets to perform except that person
I would absolutely be here with a team twist, if the queens were cast as those teams, and could prepare for it. Also, the challenges need to be more thought through.
There is a good reason why Ginger got invited for All Stars 6. Due to Drag Race contract she got forced to do All Stars 2 right after her season, so she had no time for glow up, not time to elevate her draq. Because it was not fair, they had asked her for All Stars 6 again.
The only reason Ginger lost early on AS2 was that the season was rigged. Alaska did the worst on that lip sync but was not even low. What got Ginger on the bottom was her runway and . . . there wasn't really that much elevation there.
@@c.k.8585 It doesn't change the fact, there there couldn't be any elevation as Ginger had no time to prepare. She was forced by the contract (producers can force you to do any shit they want for some time after drag race season) to do All Stars 2 almost right after her season.
Another twist in all stars 5, when ur not in the top ur in the bottom! Even you did great in that episode. Like Juju and Alexis in the snatch game of love.
UK2 twist should've been THREE girl groups. Tayce/Bimini/Lawrence/Awhora, Tia/Sister/Ellie, Joe/Asttina/Cherry. Buuut I don't think the episode could've gone better. It is elite
I honestly thought the individual finale performances were only in Season 8. I don’t remember the Season 7 ones at all. Head empty for Season 7 finale…
I might have missed it but another twist is how in Holland season 2 they eliminated Ivy Elease even though she won the lip sync because they “went for track record”.
They said they stopped uploading Canada's reactions on RUclips because the videos did poorly and that hurts the channel, but they still have them on Patreon I think
I honestly feel like Trinity and Monet shared the win because they couldn’t have another white All Stars winner, and the producers got fucked by Manila’s elimination. Only crowning Monet would be very glaringly unfair considering Trinity’s history in the competition, so they crowned both
That comment on AS3: "Well, of course they'd pick the 2 weakest. They're the most similar to them!" Nothing but the gospel truth was told in that moment.
@@sarahnorton360 Nah, just don't care for arguing with strangers over trivial bs on social media. You can do that on Twitter or something if you want to though. Have a nice rest of your day~
This is kind of a video discussing Drag Race 'firsts', right? So I want to give mention to Envy Peru, the first DR contestant to be on the judging panel on TWO different seasons!!

Well if people were fucking chill and didn't spoil the winners we would still have it 🤣
It's probably entirely a cost thing. A live show is far, far more expensive than a recorded show.
When was it ever a live crowning. RuPaul's Drag Race has never been live, has it?
@@ollietaro Nope there never was a live crowning. The first three seasons did not have multiple crownings but when Raja was leaked they moved to the new format.

Season 11 had the dumb twist: 6 way lipsync.
Also UK3 also was the first season to have the top 2 and bottom 2 both lipsync.
I would argue that the season 11 six way lip sync wouldn’t make the list as it possibly wasn’t a pre planned twist but an adaption made on the fly.
Also season 9 premiere was the first with a Pop Queen (Gaga), also the major celeb being in the workroom in disguise/with the girls
@@tchaugn but those aren't twists. Those dont change the format of the challenges or the competition
@@ernestorodriguez8388 u right u right
I liked that 6-way LS tho. The way production paired the sound effects with the girls' quaking while Ru rattles off who shantay's was *chef's kiss*
I might be in the minority but I would love an AS1 type All star season again but with the queens preparing as teams and coming as teams on the show. That way they can prepare complimentary runways etc...
Let's make RuPaul's Best Friends Race happening!!!!
Haha, I could see this, but only if it were a season featuring existing duos. No more Pandora-Mimi nonsense.
Bob/Monet or Dela/Jinkx would win
Trixie/Katya, Yuhua/Laganja, Gottmik/Violet, Raja/Raven
Shasha and Shae reunited would slay everyone
Twists you could add on your list:
1. Envy Peru being the first drag queen to be a guest judge
2. Changing from Snatch Game to Snatch Game of Love
@Todor Boychev these are not twists per definition, however, since no drag queen before Envy Peru was to be a guest judge it is notable that it took so long and therefore could be considered a twist since it could open up to drag queens guest judging on s14 e.g. And in changing the most iconic challenge to a different format on an Allstar edition could also lead towards changing the format on the regular edition or even creating different formats for the original seasons.

You know with all the controversies with Sharon and how production sweeped her racism under the rug… I wish Chad had won.
Then Jujubee could be the rightful winner of as1
@@ea6102 well it probably would have been Shannel, but that’s still pretty glorious 🍊
yall forgot them removing immunity forever on season 5!

The AS3 jury is taken straight from Survivor, where it works. But here it didn't work
I WFH - so when I see your vids come up on my RUclips feed I LIVE !! You both are awesome. Getting me through my day
i want an all star twist where the girls bring their whole production/drag teams and compete against each other in their respective teams

a season with two groups against each other would b so good!! imagine a season with new girls vs girls who went home first/second
The way they have turned it around with the lip sync assassin for AS6
MERAAA, this look is everything!!! 😉🦹🏻♀️💜

I thought maybe I was only seeing Alyssa was holding back because she's one of my favorite queens so I'm glad others felt some kinda way about it too.

me too, I always do it with her
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO COMMENT THIS
mera you look SOOOO good as agatha harkness 💜
There are so many "You forgot this" comments they should just do a re upload 🤣😂🤣
This Agatha look 🙌
Morgan and Kylie should have been the 1st double save.
Nicole Paige Brookes for AS7 now.

I honestly thought the individual finale performances were only in Season 8. I don’t remember the Season 7 ones at all. Head empty for Season 7 finale…
God the season 13 finale was my least favorite lip sync for the crown. I was bored with every lip sync and I hated the obvious reveals.
Season 13. A ball in the finale
I think now that the queens know the power of being an assassin on all stars yk
Yall should have waited until season 14
When production gags us
It was Mera alllllll along
I might have missed it but another twist is how in Holland season 2 they eliminated Ivy Elease even though she won the lip sync because they “went for track record”.
Ummmmmm, u missed the "content" thigh slap....was it a Mera Mangle twist???
All I can see when Joe black comes up is that frigging mentos commercial lol
This look! It was Agatha All Along 😍
Oh, yll wanted a twist, eh?
By the way...Scarlett looked beautiful in drag😍
Dax and Leila was another double elim! I'm sure you just forgot but they deserve to make the list :)

what happened to your canadas drag race reactions?:((
They said they stopped uploading Canada's reactions on RUclips because the videos did poorly and that hurts the channel, but they still have them on Patreon I think
this Agatha Harkness look is so cute!!
Video idea: every time a queen took off her wig in a lip sync. Haha
I wish you mangled yes or mess the twists just like you do when doing the outfits.. 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Mera! I love you and Scarlett! by the way, never got to know where your name comes from! Not sure if you commented on any of your videos. Cheers!
Hope they have Vanity & Tayce as lipsync assassins next allstars
