I think a big redemption was Monique Heart. When the cast got announced “fans” were already calling her an early out queen and saying she wasn’t competition but look at what she did on All Stars :)
@@ombrenightcores I would of prefered Monique over monet in the final 2 vs Trinity. For me shes just a much more realised queen with much better, unique looks.
It was very funny but it wasn't Joan Crawford. It was Alyssa Edwards as Faye Dunaway, as Joan Crawford, as Alyssa Edwards. PixelPixelBoom did a video on it.
@@thecowboyofdrag Doesn't matter. How many times have we seen a queen succeed even though their impression wasn't spot on? Sometimes giving a ridiculously inaccurate impression makes it funnier. The goal is to be funny and make Ru laugh, not be a master impersonator. Take Jessica Wild's Rupaul for example.
@@eldarisss1613 To win the challenge sure, but I said "succeed". Alyssa was the 3rd best that week in Snatch Game on a very competitive All Stars season even though it wasn't accurate to the character. Jessica Wild was in the top without being accurate to the character. You just have to be funny to do well.
Tatianna is one of my favourites. She was that girl on season 2, but on All Stars 2 she was just SO funny, and she showed us that she had so much talent underneath that mouth

@@nicholascummings8088 she did. Hearing she was on the waitlist for every season of AS made fans want her so badly on the show.. her time on AS5 made it seem her in the waitlist was valid.

I think Kennedy had a lot to prove. She admitted in the first episode that she was bitchy on her season and how much it bothered her that fans didn't want to go to her booth during Drag Con. I think that she wanted to prove that she is likeable and I feel like she achieved what she set out to do.
True, but it sucks how much she seemed to hate the experience and how the fandom turned her off from performing as a drag queen anymore. It was like seeing a struggling musician you were rooting for finally go platinum and then decide to quit music. Im glad she’s happy with her new endeavors though.
With Roxxxy I feel like, personality-wise, she definitely redeemed herself but she did a lot better in the actual competition the first time around. I would say the opposite is true of Alaska. In season 5, she performed well but was inconsistent, then coming into AS2 she was a lot more polished, killed nearly every challenge, but was so set on getting the crown, she came across quite unlikeable in the personality department.
I'M sorry, but I'm still pretty mad how the painted Jaremi (Phi Phi) as a heartless monster, yes she did have a clash with alyssa, but I'm pretty confident they cut his best moments.
It's more than obvious that production wanted to give him the villain again, besides the whole thing with Alyssa and the mirror thing, Jaremi (Phi Phi) didn't really do anything shady or evil
May I add how they make Phi Phi seem like a saboteur when all she want is to help Roxxy? Like the dampers crew gathers around them, sat them down, and add shady edits and others shady commentaries
strongest redemption for me was Tati, in coming from "good for an early season but basic" to giving us one of the most iconic performances in drag race herstory and becoming (in my book) a superstar
i think farrah managed to get a pretty good redemption in ep2 alone, or at least she was redeemed for me ! idk she was actually really mature in that whole drama with gia and it made me like her a lot more
Episode 2 redeemed her episode 1. I don't think she really needed a rudemption from s9 but it didn't ruin her either as that farrah vs gia fight was iconic
naomi actually revealed her and latrice made an alliance off camera so naomi was gonna save her over manila so in a way latrice wasn't as worried about manila as manila was worried about her sometimes we have to learn some people will only drag us down no pun intended and manila can't blame herself anymore it's all stars 4 not 1 new beginnings it's time to focus on you not latrice
Yes, I loved Latrice so much but when she came I was sad because I never thought she'd come back with an entirely different attitude, like not as humble as she was on her DR season and AS1. I noticed as well that she was no where's near as emotional over Manila, and it's messed up because Latrice's drag hasn't even evolved that much and she didn't do as well as Manila, but kept trying to blame her challenge failures on everyone else but herself! The Latrice that Valentina adores is the Latrice from back in the day, but hearing her tell another queen that she would save Latrice no matter what, made me cringe? On "Hey Qween!" when Latrice was blaming editing and what production was telling her to do, I was thinking "Every single second of the show is not edited, fans who adore certain queens can tell that ur disposition is not the same way it used to be!"
@@faithruckdeschel1294 If you pay attention to the way it's edited, they gave her a shady noise every time she breathed, and there's a lot of different ways to frame a scene that can make things look very different.

I definitely think that Kennedy had an amazing rudemption arc as well! She wanted to show that she is not just a bitter old lady who happened to get far during her season, and I think she definitely did that. She was pretty likable to me in AS3 and made it all the way to the top 2, and I think she is a lot less overlooked now than she was before her stint on all stars.
I dunno, I felt bad for her getting to top 2 and everyone saying it should have been Shangela instead - when if she stayed as top 3, everyone would have just recognised that as a well-deserved and big achievement. She and Shangela both got screwed over by that, and Trixie to some extent too as her win was seen by some as invalid, because she hadn't had to face off with Shangela. I felt it was a sad twist for all of them, but probably worst for Kennedy.
I actually really don't think Mayhem came back with a good attitude. I was excited to see her, but there seemed to be a sort of "sarcastic cynical attitude" lingering around her.
I’m not trying to be shady or rude but Roxxy spent the WHOLE of AS2 in the bottom. Just makes me struggle to view her time there as a rudemption just because I felt SO BAD for her the entire time, like for all we know she was ready and detox and Alaska really just kept saving her ass lmao again I love roxxy it’s just ironic to see her AS run as a Rudemption when she was far more successful competitively in season 5. But Milk and Latrice I think got the worst showings both had their reputations affected by their times on all stars.
@@vladaimpaler that’s why I said “for all we know she was ready to go” lmao I’m not mad it’s just hard for me to see someone who killed their first season to consistently struggle challenge after challenge in all stars as a rudemption but I also understand she showed her true personality in all stars so 🤷♂️
Like Naomi did such a good rudemption. She somehow made great looks even better, She redeemed her snatch game, Played the best game there and slayed 2 more lip syncs
i feel like mayhem was actually not rudeemed at all, she felt very underwhelming on the season and made me question why she was on ALL STARS in the first place, even thooouuughh (!) she IS an ALL STAR :(
i was weirded out Mera and Scarlett forgot about Alexis mostly on AS5 where she was riding solo. on AS1 i feel like only pandora, mimi and shannel had to prove something; everybody else was just _in it to win it._ on AS5 i feel that Alexis proved that she was up to par with the younger gals in more than 1 lane (minus the I'm in love challenge which was cringe in every sense of the word💀🥴) and well India deadass used Destiny Bond on her and got her eliminated the week right after she did, otherwise i firmly believe she would have placed 4th. and had it been a "regular all stars season" i think she could have been top 2 for variety show and snatch game (her walter mercado was funnier than jujubee's eartha kitt, sue me).
You did Ginger dirty by forgetting she was also on All Stars right after her season (you said it was only Katya). But even Ginger jokes about her really being on All stars even if people don't remember her. (Also, in All Stars 1 all season 4 queens, Latrice and Chad, where also brought back right after their season?)
Tatiana had a great RuDemption. Successfully introduced herself to newer generations of drag race and starred in one of the most iconic lip syncs. I would have also commented about Kennedy on AS4, she had a good run and I loved her lip sync.
Pandora knew she had been set up, again, by the show. I dont blame her for just wanting out immediately. It was santino that had it in for pandora and went out of his way to diss her.
Am I the only one that noticed that the queens who win Miss Congeniality on their original seasons that come back for All Stars, with the exception of Nina, Monet, Yara, Katya, and Dela, usually get the edit of being "bitchy" or having an overinflated ego their second go around?
We have only had 8 miss cons back. Yara her edit was fine. Pandora was sent home episode 1. Nina flowers had an alright edit but was sent home episode 2 not really bitchy. DeLa had the best run and the only thing that could be bitchy is the whole elimination. Katya's edit was fine. Valentina's edit was her little tel a no Vela fantasy. Monet won and had a good edit. So really the only bitchy miss coco was Latrice. Plus fun fact Ivy and Cynthia are the only 2 original 2 miss congenialities to not return and now Nina west and Heidi but those are because newer seasons
@@ait8551 Actually, Coco didn't had a bitchy edit... she was quite bitchy on S5 already. I think that she was tuned down. The only one with bitchy edit was Latrice and Valentina (but not that much imo)
I didn’t expect them to describe her like the edit forced us to see her. I just loved most of her outfits and she sets the bar high as the other girls. AS2 would not be THE GREAT AS2 without her.
Awwww coco was forgotten, I really wish I saw more of her on all stars, she couldn’t do her Janet number and it messed it up, would have liked to see more of her
I think the biggest rudemption would actually be Trixie. Like on her season she got an edit which was like "I'm a comedy queen who sucks at comedy" and was 6th getting twice eliminated. On All Stars first she figured out the makeup and second slayed the back half of the season. I mean yeah she was the third best in that top 4 but like that's I think a great improvement from her initial placement (though you can argue that there were higher expectations on her because of the things she's done in the real world and the level of celebrity she acquired but I digress). I also think Latrice got the worst edit because of just how beloved she was and how unlikable she came off as but I'm glad she can still prove that out there she is the stunning miss congeniality we remember.
Monique redeemed herself so much I was mad they gave the win to monet instead. Monique is still wanna the best for me. But there's no denying how hard monet hit the ground running since her win.
As I understand it a major reason for the controversies of the earlier untucked was that they often where drunk as skunks. Being on their feet in front of strong and warm tv-lights gave dehydration and then they where given strong drinks instead of water. In later season they watered down the drinks conciderably.
Biggest rudemption is probably aja tatianna. They both evolved so much cosmetically. They both were able to lipsync and showcase their talents. They both were on the top for the talent show.
@@tyagohiee in 7 weeks, Trixie had 2 wins and 2 bottoms, with one of the bottoms only due to everyone not in the top, being there (final 5 bring back episode) and then she won. In 9 weeks, Monique had 3 wins and 2 bottoms, again with one of the bottoms being because the bring back queen episode, with 2 more weeks to win things than Trixie did and then didn't advance to the finals. I stand by my statement #factsarefacts
@@kennymcburney Nope, actually, Ruapaul said it himself, lipsync for your legacy: Top 2. Winning the lipsync: Challenge win. Trixie made it to a finale and won a season without a single challenge win, while Monique had just 1. That means, in season 3, Shangela, Bendela and Bebe were better competition than Trixie, and in season 4 Manila, Trinity and tecnically Monet were better. Yes, they both placed 4th track record-wise, so it's not that much of a lackluster run, but, when you think, and remember Trixie actually won, it is a lackluster track record, being the only winner on Drag Race herstory (aside from Priyanka) who placed 4th based on track records.
@@tyagohiee you're trying argue a different subject matter than the basis of the original post and my reply to it, which referenced Monique having a strong redemption from her first season if basing just on track record, and me replying to it saying it would be comparable to the outcomes of Trixie and Shangela. It's not an opinion up for debate, it's fact.
I was so disappointed Alexander I Got a notification for the BBC introducing two of the Queens and then when I clicked on it said they're not showing it in this country. 3 just came up on Wow TV and they're not showing those girls either I wonder what's going on. I hope they're not going to be keeping all their information on Wow Plus.
I think roxxxy had one of the best rudemption in terms of the villain edit BUT I hate what it did to her reputation (amongst drag race fans atleast, queens ofcourse love her). I read somewhere that Alaska thought she was placed in the bottom so often so she'll break and be the villain for the second half and whether or not Alaska did say that I think thats what the producers were doing. Most of her bottom placements imo were just unfair or by default (especially for the makeover)
The hypocresy of celebrating the edit of Gia while saying PhiPhi is the worst. I mean, yeah, she play the villian in certain way but girl she was put in that role, the production and the edit make her seem to be as a bad person and the reality is she was just asking for a fair competition
I'd say Shannel came in looking for Rudemption b/c even though she was great on season one, she never won a main challenge and was often overlooked by the judges so in All Stars 1 she didn't have anything to prove to the fans but rather the judges.
Hope it’s not disrespectful, but Chi Chi didn’t shine as much as she had in her first season. I’d dare say that Valentina lost her spot as the one to beat as the episodes went down, while Monique became stronger and stronger.
I definitely I would throw Tatianna in the mix in terms of biggest Rudemption. She came in with everyone pretty much discounting her, and thinking she was a filler and then absolutely SLAYED with what is still considered among the best variety show performance, in addition to serving one of the very best LSFYL in Drag Race Herstory. If it weren’t for a sequins top, she could have potentially made it into the top 4, and we all would have been served with an iconic verse! That said, folks were really galvanized by her elimination and her popularity rose even more. Stan Tati. *Thank you*
Snatch game redemptions are so interesting. Tatianna and Pandora were at the top of the original snatch games, but were eliminated in the same challenge on all stars. Kylie on the other hand went home on the first snatch game and redeemed herself on all stars (should have won it, imo especially for storyline purposes) Also worth mentioning Alyssa, considering that her snatch game performance is probably the reason immunity was never brought back for season 6 onwards. She really was good in her all stars snatch game
I never left a comment, but the reason why untucked changed drastically was because Early seasons were supplied with alcoholic drinks later seasons had to heavily water them down or removed them altogether
I just watched the queens who didn’t like the edit video you guys did and watching this made me think of how Ginger/Kennedy were the Bitter Old Lady Brigade, but production edited out how Katya was technically in it with them. She mentions it briefly in one Untucked, but you never see it anywhere else probably to give Katya a more favorable edit. I mean, she does have some reads, but they play it as the joke that it is instead of all of the shade noises and reactions that Ginger/Kennedy/Mrs. Kasha Davis/Jasmine got. Arguably Katya is different in that she kind of floats through different groups and friendships, even ending up friends with Violet.
I just love watching you Mera! I hope you’ll be in drag race in the next 3-4yrs and will be just supporting you all the way ❤️ i hope you’ll have the best confessionals cuz you’re soooo entertaining ❤️ sending you love from the Philippines ❤️
I would also like to point out that Tatianna just so happened to have one of the most ICONIC “placement runs” on the show EVER: “WIN” - “OUT” ........ “WIN” - “OUT” No “SAFES”. No “HIGHS”. No “LOWS”. She spent her entire time there either winning or being eliminated/sent home. Legends only, for sure! LOL
Well I was rooting for Miz Cracker on All Stars! Jujubee and Shea were awesome too, but Miz Cracker had the best track record and I loved her. Well from the beggining Shea was supposed to win, but that DOESNT MEAN she didnt deserve it.
The fact that Blair wasn’t in the bottom for SheMZ still blows my mind because as you said, she wasn’t needed (and didn’t really do anything) in that scene 😅
I just want to say even though I'm sure you know this you just didn't want to get too into detail but Ben eliminating herself had nothing to do with her having to send a girl home every week. She said herself in an interview she came into All Stars to simply prove that she could do it, not to Ru or her fans but she wanted to prove to herself that she could win the competition. The day before her elimination it like hit her that she wasn't really there for the crown like the other girls were she was just there to validate herself and she did that. Once she achieved her goal she didn't think it was right for her to steal the title and crown from the Queens that cared more about it than she did, especially since she knew she would be the winner if she stayed after all her wins in a row. And with Thorgy I whole-heartedly believe the show and it's producers rigged her in that Musical especially considering she did all the correct Stevieisms and yet the judges had nothing but hate for her and her acting while Bebe literally did the exact same thing with her character except she LITERALLY BARELY MOVED FROM HER SPOT ON THE STAGE and yet she got nothing but praise for being the perfect Diana.
15:15 I actually disagree, at least on a personal level. I feel like AS4 worsened Valentina's image... and honestly, her lip sync wasn't anything amazing and the win was kind of forced (hmm an ariana grande song, how convenient)
My daughter and I, have always felt that Alexis was/is a better queen than what she's given credit for, especially with the judges(Michelle being one)because even when she did better than other queens, it seemed as if they would suddenly create some type of flaw or mistake that was supposedly keeping Alexis back from ever winning! The 2 first times that she was on the show, I felt the things that was repeatedly said about Alexis and Yara Sofia's PR accents was BS and just the other remaining girls feeling threatened? They was counting on the 2 girls with the accents understanding what the challenges called for, and thought of them as easily being dismissed? I think the treatment Alexis got on the show previously made her paranoid especially, with how she snapped at Miz Cracker (who wasn't even talking about Alexis)when she was discussing something else? About that "trying to get Shea outta here" debacle, I feel like Alexis was playing smart because at least she knew Shea was their biggest competition, she didn't count on the other girls being so "let's be bffs, braid each other's hair, and make friendship bracelets" by not voting Shea off. Then again the competition was always planned for her to win and get her rudemption....saw that one coming as soon as I found out she was competing.
I would argue otherwise, considering they both won 3 times and 1/3 lip-sync wins - and while technically Monet was "low" one week, it's the same outcome as "safe". Also, the final challenge where Monet was "bottom" and Monique won, there were only 5 people left. Regardless, we all know Trinity had the ultimate track record haha
I understand that Maybe Ginger didnt have the best Redemption story line. But if you revisit the top 3 of Season 7 my mind implodes trying to understand why Ginder didn't win. Hands down the most Polished comedy Queen on RDR ever.
Also want to say according to girls who were there on AS2 the other queens felt they were treating Roxxxy Andrews much in a similar way as they have treated Jan. Hoping for a breakdown. Because at least as far as what Alaska, Katya, and Detox have said that Roxxxy got negative criticism when she actually was one of the better queens that challenge.
This is a great episode. As an aside, I am always chuffed to bits when a beautiful queen ends up being even cuter out of drag! I am glad the RUclips algorithm showed me you all.
She smartly manipulated everyone, I’m not sure if it was intentional on her side, but she definitely played people’s emotions, and walked away a winner.
I did think it was going to be Miz Cracker and Jujubee as the winner when Shea landed in the bottom, but then Jujubee was in the bottom a lot more and Cracker won a lot more challenges it was either her or Shea that would win in my eyes
Mera - This was the first video of yours where I saw you out of drag. It was good to see the real person under all the makeup. When are you going to see YOU on RuPaul's show? You are a well-spoken person, you'd make a great contestant. :-)
Hey totally random, have you seen the drag race in promo and meet the queens. I think it's on BBC 3 RUclips channel. I already love cherry Valentine and tayce
I totally agree. Members of the LGBTQ community are already subjected to bullying and exclusion...the treatment of Phi Phi goes against everything drag stands for... #FreedomToBe
Latrice got a real weird edit, I wasn't here for it. I feel like Jaremi/Phi Phi should just stay away from competitive environments, because she really does seem genuine off of the show.
I think a big redemption was Monique Heart. When the cast got announced “fans” were already calling her an early out queen and saying she wasn’t competition but look at what she did on All Stars :)
And should’ve had more wins AND gone further
exactly. she was my favorite and she was my winner
@@ombrenightcores I would of prefered Monique over monet in the final 2 vs Trinity. For me shes just a much more realised queen with much better, unique looks.

@@todslime4599 YES you’re right
I liked her story of being so quiet until she ultimatly eliminates the strongest girl
Like Naomi did such a good rudemption. She somehow made great looks even better, She redeemed her snatch game, Played the best game there and slayed 2 more lip syncs
Y’all did Phi Phi dirty using that picture😭
"Maybe in Season 13 we'll see some fights."
*Kandy Muse has entered the chat*
i feel like mayhem was actually not rudeemed at all, she felt very underwhelming on the season and made me question why she was on ALL STARS in the first place, even thooouuughh (!) she IS an ALL STAR :(
You’re almost at 20k omg. I remember watching you in the summer and just being blown away by your growth. So happy for you all❤️
Y’all forgot Alexis! TWICE! In one video!
She was screwed over on both All Stars season. Sad that nobody sees that
i was weirded out Mera and Scarlett forgot about Alexis mostly on AS5 where she was riding solo. on AS1 i feel like only pandora, mimi and shannel had to prove something; everybody else was just _in it to win it._
on AS5 i feel that Alexis proved that she was up to par with the younger gals in more than 1 lane (minus the I'm in love challenge which was cringe in every sense of the word💀🥴) and well India deadass used Destiny Bond on her and got her eliminated the week right after she did, otherwise i firmly believe she would have placed 4th. and had it been a "regular all stars season" i think she could have been top 2 for variety show and snatch game (her walter mercado was funnier than jujubee's eartha kitt, sue me).
@@nicojimenez9614 I totally agree with you. Alexis deserved some wins in AS5 (since im Latin, I was GAGGING with Walter Mercado)
She didn't redeem anything.
You did Ginger dirty by forgetting she was also on All Stars right after her season (you said it was only Katya). But even Ginger jokes about her really being on All stars even if people don't remember her.
(Also, in All Stars 1 all season 4 queens, Latrice and Chad, where also brought back right after their season?)
And they forgot Aja too!
@@JForJeffort I forgot her too... haha But I was mentioning Ginger since it was the most obvious, as she had been in both season Katya was.
I love Jaremi Carey - they deserve so much better
I couldn't agree more! I love Jeremi!
Yesss
Happy Wednesday, Mera & Scarlett
I like your profile pic
Tatiana had a great RuDemption. Successfully introduced herself to newer generations of drag race and starred in one of the most iconic lip syncs.
I would have also commented about Kennedy on AS4, she had a good run and I loved her lip sync.
Pandora knew she had been set up, again, by the show. I dont blame her for just wanting out immediately. It was santino that had it in for pandora and went out of his way to diss her.
Agreed
Totally agree! I mean its pretty clear how they feel about mimi before hand. I would have had the same attitude as pandora lol
Am I the only one that noticed that the queens who win Miss Congeniality on their original seasons that come back for All Stars, with the exception of Nina, Monet, Yara, Katya, and Dela, usually get the edit of being "bitchy" or having an overinflated ego their second go around?
We have only had 8 miss cons back. Yara her edit was fine. Pandora was sent home episode 1. Nina flowers had an alright edit but was sent home episode 2 not really bitchy. DeLa had the best run and the only thing that could be bitchy is the whole elimination. Katya's edit was fine. Valentina's edit was her little tel a no Vela fantasy. Monet won and had a good edit. So really the only bitchy miss coco was Latrice. Plus fun fact Ivy and Cynthia are the only 2 original 2 miss congenialities to not return and now Nina west and Heidi but those are because newer seasons
@@ait8551 Actually, Coco didn't had a bitchy edit... she was quite bitchy on S5 already. I think that she was tuned down.
The only one with bitchy edit was Latrice and Valentina (but not that much imo)
Yara on AS6 definitely got this edit
No y’all are doing Phi Phi dirty she had some of the best looks! The robot look? The multiple looks in one? Gag
She got a win also
@@_memohh she should have/ could have had two wins: Ruscial and Acting..
She also had some really great moments up until the ruvenge episode! They just got outshined by her downfall in that episode
She got her rudemption more the producers tryna force the narrative of her being the ultimate villain
I didn’t expect them to describe her like the edit forced us to see her. I just loved most of her outfits and she sets the bar high as the other girls. AS2 would not be THE GREAT AS2 without her.
Mera is very attractive . It’s amazing the difference in and out , some would never know it’s the same person
Awwww coco was forgotten, I really wish I saw more of her on all stars, she couldn’t do her Janet number and it messed it up, would have liked to see more of her
I think the biggest rudemption would actually be Trixie. Like on her season she got an edit which was like "I'm a comedy queen who sucks at comedy" and was 6th getting twice eliminated. On All Stars first she figured out the makeup and second slayed the back half of the season. I mean yeah she was the third best in that top 4 but like that's I think a great improvement from her initial placement (though you can argue that there were higher expectations on her because of the things she's done in the real world and the level of celebrity she acquired but I digress). I also think Latrice got the worst edit because of just how beloved she was and how unlikable she came off as but I'm glad she can still prove that out there she is the stunning miss congeniality we remember.
AHHH whenever Mera patted the Shangela Pop figure gave me so much serotonin!!! Love love LOVE ❤️✨
6:23 THE "JAFE" STAMP ON GINGER I'M SCREECHING💀😂
19:13 THE GIGANTIC WORDARTS OH MY GOD😭
Monique redeemed herself so much I was mad they gave the win to monet instead. Monique is still wanna the best for me. But there's no denying how hard monet hit the ground running since her win.
I want to see Adore have a Rudemption for All Stars 2, because she definitely needs to show how amazing she is on All Stars.
As I understand it a major reason for the controversies of the earlier untucked was that they often where drunk as skunks. Being on their feet in front of strong and warm tv-lights gave dehydration and then they where given strong drinks instead of water. In later season they watered down the drinks conciderably.
I feel like every AS season should have a Rudemption runway like they did on AS3
Biggest rudemption is probably aja tatianna.
They both evolved so much cosmetically.
They both were able to lipsync and showcase their talents.
They both were on the top for the talent show.
Monique clearly had the best redemption if we're looking purely from a track record point of view.
would be comparable to Trixie or Shangela
@@kennymcburney Nope, Trixie has a relly lackluster track record on All Stars 3 too
@@tyagohiee in 7 weeks, Trixie had 2 wins and 2 bottoms, with one of the bottoms only due to everyone not in the top, being there (final 5 bring back episode) and then she won. In 9 weeks, Monique had 3 wins and 2 bottoms, again with one of the bottoms being because the bring back queen episode, with 2 more weeks to win things than Trixie did and then didn't advance to the finals. I stand by my statement #factsarefacts
@@kennymcburney Nope, actually, Ruapaul said it himself, lipsync for your legacy: Top 2. Winning the lipsync: Challenge win. Trixie made it to a finale and won a season without a single challenge win, while Monique had just 1. That means, in season 3, Shangela, Bendela and Bebe were better competition than Trixie, and in season 4 Manila, Trinity and tecnically Monet were better. Yes, they both placed 4th track record-wise, so it's not that much of a lackluster run, but, when you think, and remember Trixie actually won, it is a lackluster track record, being the only winner on Drag Race herstory (aside from Priyanka) who placed 4th based on track records.
@@tyagohiee you're trying argue a different subject matter than the basis of the original post and my reply to it, which referenced Monique having a strong redemption from her first season if basing just on track record, and me replying to it saying it would be comparable to the outcomes of Trixie and Shangela. It's not an opinion up for debate, it's fact.
Phi Phi did play mind games, but no one can convince me she was wrong calling the double standards about Alyssa's treatment.
“Maybe season 13 will bring the drama.”
Season 13: Kandy ❤️❤️❤️
The cast of Rupaul's Drag Race UK Season 2 was just announced. Need a critique on it. NOW!!!!
I was so disappointed Alexander I Got a notification for the BBC introducing two of the Queens and then when I clicked on it said they're not showing it in this country. 3 just came up on Wow TV and they're not showing those girls either I wonder what's going on. I hope they're not going to be keeping all their information on Wow Plus.
You guys have to remember here in the United States we don't always know an awful lot about foreign Queens. Give Mera time to do her research.
Guys Tayce is from my hometown Newport in Wales and she slayyyyys! So excited to see a Welsh qween and Welsh representation on drag race!
@@OceanbornAngel Pretty poor excuse not going to lie, lmao.
I'm already rooting for Ginny Lemon
I think roxxxy had one of the best rudemption in terms of the villain edit BUT I hate what it did to her reputation (amongst drag race fans atleast, queens ofcourse love her). I read somewhere that Alaska thought she was placed in the bottom so often so she'll break and be the villain for the second half and whether or not Alaska did say that I think thats what the producers were doing. Most of her bottom placements imo were just unfair or by default (especially for the makeover)
would love to see a list of your all time favourite runway outfits from the show!
See dela interview with Joseph Shepherd this last week. She doe deep dive about her AS exit.
have a good mangled morning mera and scarlett
Good mangled morning everyone!!!!
Biggest Rudemptions for me:
AS1: Shannel
AS2: Tatiana
AS3: Aja
AS4: Monique
AS5: Jujubee
No Rudemption
AS1: Pandorra
AS2: Phiphi
AS3: Milk
AS4: Morgan
AS5: Ongina
The hypocresy of celebrating the edit of Gia while saying PhiPhi is the worst. I mean, yeah, she play the villian in certain way but girl she was put in that role, the production and the edit make her seem to be as a bad person and the reality is she was just asking for a fair competition
Not Scarlet predicting the Kandy/Tamisha fight @ 3:27. It was you all along 😂
I'd say Shannel came in looking for Rudemption b/c even though she was great on season one, she never won a main challenge and was often overlooked by the judges so in All Stars 1 she didn't have anything to prove to the fans but rather the judges.
3:25 omg I just wanted to rewatch some of your videos but this one aged so well lmao
Hope it’s not disrespectful, but Chi Chi didn’t shine as much as she had in her first season.
I’d dare say that Valentina lost her spot as the one to beat as the episodes went down, while Monique became stronger and stronger.
i absolutely love miz cracker, she overthinks unfortunately and i don’t feel she deserved to win but she deserved her challenge wins, she is a queen
I think Adore went to prove she could be authentic self, and after her first critique, realized she wouldn’t be validated😔
I definitely I would throw Tatianna in the mix in terms of biggest Rudemption. She came in with everyone pretty much discounting her, and thinking she was a filler and then absolutely SLAYED with what is still considered among the best variety show performance, in addition to serving one of the very best LSFYL in Drag Race Herstory. If it weren’t for a sequins top, she could have potentially made it into the top 4, and we all would have been served with an iconic verse! That said, folks were really galvanized by her elimination and her popularity rose even more. Stan Tati. *Thank you*
I think Adore was on season 2 because she was voted fan favourite and maybe felt like she had to be there for the fans.
Snatch game redemptions are so interesting. Tatianna and Pandora were at the top of the original snatch games, but were eliminated in the same challenge on all stars. Kylie on the other hand went home on the first snatch game and redeemed herself on all stars (should have won it, imo especially for storyline purposes)
Also worth mentioning Alyssa, considering that her snatch game performance is probably the reason immunity was never brought back for season 6 onwards. She really was good in her all stars snatch game
18:08 I'm screaming hahahahhahah "(•_•) ... and they didn't" hahahahahhahaah
I never left a comment, but the reason why untucked changed drastically was because Early seasons were supplied with alcoholic drinks later seasons had to heavily water them down or removed them altogether
My God, i've never seen Mera out of Drag and i am shook. I mean he's so so handsome! Mera is stunning, pretty, all of that. But... Daaaaamn boy
Thanks for another great video 🙏😇 and hope y’all are doing good 🤓🤙🏽
Omg you guys called it with the drama this season in untucked!!!
I just watched the queens who didn’t like the edit video you guys did and watching this made me think of how Ginger/Kennedy were the Bitter Old Lady Brigade, but production edited out how Katya was technically in it with them. She mentions it briefly in one Untucked, but you never see it anywhere else probably to give Katya a more favorable edit. I mean, she does have some reads, but they play it as the joke that it is instead of all of the shade noises and reactions that Ginger/Kennedy/Mrs. Kasha Davis/Jasmine got. Arguably Katya is different in that she kind of floats through different groups and friendships, even ending up friends with Violet.
Mera and scarlet: joking about wanting more drama is S13
Tamisha and Kandy taking that as a demand
I just love watching you Mera! I hope you’ll be in drag race in the next 3-4yrs and will be just supporting you all the way ❤️ i hope you’ll have the best confessionals cuz you’re soooo entertaining ❤️ sending you love from the Philippines ❤️
I would also like to point out that Tatianna just so happened to have one of the most ICONIC “placement runs” on the show EVER:
“WIN” - “OUT” ........ “WIN” - “OUT”
No “SAFES”. No “HIGHS”. No “LOWS”. She spent her entire time there either winning or being eliminated/sent home.
Legends only, for sure! LOL
“ mimi had a can do attitude “ I laughed soooooo hard
Well I was rooting for Miz Cracker on All Stars! Jujubee and Shea were awesome too, but Miz Cracker had the best track record and I loved her. Well from the beggining Shea was supposed to win, but that DOESNT MEAN she didnt deserve it.
I think Roxy's biggest Rudemption was being a lip synch assassin on Al stars 5, she looked amazing and expensive and she KILT that lip sync down!!!
Absolutely agree!
The single most epic Rudemption was Ra'Jah O'Hara.. Completely blew me away.
I've literally just realised Shea's finale hair is in almost the exact same style as Sasha's was for the rose petal number
The fact that Blair wasn’t in the bottom for SheMZ still blows my mind because as you said, she wasn’t needed (and didn’t really do anything) in that scene 😅
Watching this now during AS6 and little do they know that this current season has some of the best redemptions! #teamraja #teamTKB #teamkylie
I just want to say even though I'm sure you know this you just didn't want to get too into detail but Ben eliminating herself had nothing to do with her having to send a girl home every week. She said herself in an interview she came into All Stars to simply prove that she could do it, not to Ru or her fans but she wanted to prove to herself that she could win the competition. The day before her elimination it like hit her that she wasn't really there for the crown like the other girls were she was just there to validate herself and she did that. Once she achieved her goal she didn't think it was right for her to steal the title and crown from the Queens that cared more about it than she did, especially since she knew she would be the winner if she stayed after all her wins in a row. And with Thorgy I whole-heartedly believe the show and it's producers rigged her in that Musical especially considering she did all the correct Stevieisms and yet the judges had nothing but hate for her and her acting while Bebe literally did the exact same thing with her character except she LITERALLY BARELY MOVED FROM HER SPOT ON THE STAGE and yet she got nothing but praise for being the perfect Diana.
15:15 I actually disagree, at least on a personal level. I feel like AS4 worsened Valentina's image... and honestly, her lip sync wasn't anything amazing and the win was kind of forced (hmm an ariana grande song, how convenient)
same
I loved Cracker and wanted her to win. It was awful that Shae was telegraphed the winner from the beginning.
Alyssa had a great rudemption! She did WAY better in AS2 than season 5.
What happened to Alexis Matteo ?
My daughter and I, have always felt that Alexis was/is a better queen than what she's given credit for, especially with the judges(Michelle being one)because even when she did better than other queens, it seemed as if they would suddenly create some type of flaw or mistake that was supposedly keeping Alexis back from ever winning! The 2 first times that she was on the show, I felt the things that was repeatedly said about Alexis and Yara Sofia's PR accents was BS and just the other remaining girls feeling threatened? They was counting on the 2 girls with the accents understanding what the challenges called for, and thought of them as easily being dismissed? I think the treatment Alexis got on the show previously made her paranoid especially, with how she snapped at Miz Cracker (who wasn't even talking about Alexis)when she was discussing something else? About that "trying to get Shea outta here" debacle, I feel like Alexis was playing smart because at least she knew Shea was their biggest competition, she didn't count on the other girls being so "let's be bffs, braid each other's hair, and make friendship bracelets" by not voting Shea off. Then again the competition was always planned for her to win and get her rudemption....saw that one coming as soon as I found out she was competing.
Monique actually had a better track record than monet
I would argue otherwise, considering they both won 3 times and 1/3 lip-sync wins - and while technically Monet was "low" one week, it's the same outcome as "safe". Also, the final challenge where Monet was "bottom" and Monique won, there were only 5 people left. Regardless, we all know Trinity had the ultimate track record haha
I understand that Maybe Ginger didnt have the best Redemption story line. But if you revisit the top 3 of Season 7 my mind implodes trying to understand why Ginder didn't win. Hands down the most Polished comedy Queen on RDR ever.
Completely agree!!
“Maybe season 13 will bring the drama back”
Also want to say according to girls who were there on AS2 the other queens felt they were treating Roxxxy Andrews much in a similar way as they have treated Jan. Hoping for a breakdown. Because at least as far as what Alaska, Katya, and Detox have said that Roxxxy got negative criticism when she actually was one of the better queens that challenge.
First video with boy Mera and this is a TRIP. Beautiful queen, super cute guy, not fair haha.
Ongina' s attitude on All Stars 5 was so disheartening! I rooted for her so much she was the first time on the show
This is a great episode. As an aside, I am always chuffed to bits when a beautiful queen ends up being even cuter out of drag! I am glad the RUclips algorithm showed me you all.
I think my favourite seasons are All Stars 2 and Uk S2 in that order also.
AS2 had the most amazing cast everyone on it was great 😁
It's funny that Shea went from 'you can be the best and still not winning' to 'you can not be the best and still get away with the crown' 🤣
She smartly manipulated everyone, I’m not sure if it was intentional on her side, but she definitely played people’s emotions, and walked away a winner.
I did think it was going to be Miz Cracker and Jujubee as the winner when Shea landed in the bottom, but then Jujubee was in the bottom a lot more and Cracker won a lot more challenges it was either her or Shea that would win in my eyes
Mera - This was the first video of yours where I saw you out of drag. It was good to see the real person under all the makeup. When are you going to see YOU on RuPaul's show? You are a well-spoken person, you'd make a great contestant. :-)
Hey totally random, have you seen the drag race in promo and meet the queens. I think it's on BBC 3 RUclips channel. I already love cherry Valentine and tayce
Uk
I would argue Coco was going for redemption on AS2
I still love Milk. She's amazing!
I didn’t like phi phi on her seasons but didn’t deserve the back lash she got over a tv show (death threats etc) we all human at the end of the day
I totally agree. Members of the LGBTQ community are already subjected to bullying and exclusion...the treatment of Phi Phi goes against everything drag stands for... #FreedomToBe
@@mollyyouindangergirl2470 well said totally agreed ❤️❤️❤️
Latrice got a real weird edit, I wasn't here for it.
I feel like Jaremi/Phi Phi should just stay away from competitive environments, because she really does seem genuine off of the show.
Omg, season 13 was the season to bring the untucked drama back 🤣
