Anyone else loving the fact that Andrew was more turned on by guacamole than the hot naked guy? I'm very proud of you guys for sticking with this season, this is the closest I'll get to ever watching it again.
I didn’t like how Latrice was real cavalier about Manilla going home even though she was in this situation to begin with because she defended Latrice and didn’t want to send her home.
Fun fact: A lot of these old-school Supermodel-esque outfits that Ru’s wearing are her actual outfits from back in the day! Someone (maybe Delta?) mentioned that she’s been going into her archive wardrobe and picking pieces out! 💃
It’s ironic that the best lip sync on All Stars (Alyssa v Tatianna) isn’t a lip sync for your legacy. Katya said in an interview that she didn’t really try in those lip syncs because she’d already won the challenge. There aren’t any stakes in those lip syncs for the participating queens. That’s what makes the lip sync for your life so good!
clara That’s true but in that sense they have something to gain and nothing to lose really. Whereas in the lip syncs for your life they have something to lose. That sense of “I need to show them what I’ve got” is a lot more amaranth in those rather than the legacies.
Honestly, I cannot understand why they would make a sketch acting challenge the penultimate challenge to the finale. They did the same thing last All Stars as well with that terrible Oscar Movie challenge. The problem with Drag Race sketch challenges is there are always, ALWAYS bad roles. They even pointed it out this episode with Monet's role, her part was shit and her doing anything extra would have just been shoveling more shit on top of it. This is just like last season with like the La La Land character or Beige Swan, these are bad roles and it is so unfair that for there to only be 5 queens left that a couple of them are just given the shit roles and ultimately are forced to lose. I forgive these sketch challenges earlier in the season, because there are so many queens (but even then, like the Season 8 one with RuCo's Empire, there was like 1 great role in Cookie, one ok role in Vanilla Wafer, and the daughter roles were all hot garbage) but when you have so few queens left it just is annoying. I honestly prefer the makeover challenge to this one, or if it has to be a sketch that the queens have to make it themselves, force them to do some work and write up a script, I don't know.
I dont think Monet winning was justified either. Talent show, snatch game, both acting challenges, and even the makeover she did bad (still dont underatand how she won with that white makeup). She did great in the roast but the editing really was in her favor. The only episode she was oustanding was the second episode, and then she didnt knew the words to the lip sync which ruined it. And with all of that she was choosen as top 2 instead of Monique 😒😒😒
Even though I loveeee Manila, I love the fact that Naomi sent her home. These girls play to way much to the cameras and the fandom. It creates a level of inauthenticity. It was a boss move!
Ok here’s my theory. They were always planning a tie, but it was between Manila and Latrice. With the huge reactions from ru and Michelle when they both got eliminated and Latrice on The Tea Podcast saying the producers promised her something when she was cast and just being generally pissed about the season I think it holds ground.
HannahUma It still blows my mind that they didn’t even film a double crowning conclusion though. The tie, at least between Monét and Trinity, was definitely a last minute decision.
I think this might be the case, otherwise they wouldn't have had an extra 100k, it had to be part of the pitch. Maybe they had a planned tie but when that went south they were unsure what to do about it.
This just makes me appreciate you guys all over again. I honestly could not finish the season because after Manila left I didn’t care as much. Thank you guys for sticking through it and making the ride enjoyable. Cheers to you guys, Manila, Monique, and all the rest. ❤️
I click like on these before I watch them, and I'm never disappointed! You guys are so spot on about the season taking a nosedive after Manila's elimination 👍🏻🏳️🌈💕
Loving the Spoiler Alert for the Double win when it aired like a year ago. Can't wait to hear you guys chat sh*t and drink wine!! Also, warning the S12 cast Ruveal was just announced so get used to disappointment. Love from the UK
Yasssss Faerie Tale Theatre!!! I was so obsessed with that series. The Puss and Boots episode was weird tho... My favorite episodes were Rumpelstiltskin, The Nightingale, and The Princess and the Pea (which stars Liza Minnelli. It's well worth the watch! Little 7 year old gay me was entranced by her.)
If AS5 keeps this format, I am _confused_ . Even ignoring the gigantic amount of people who hate it, (with a fury) I cant think of a time I've seen someone who's living for it 🤣
I was thinking of Raven calling Tati shit, and then you played the exact clip for shady editing reference. Read my mind hahahah! My fave part of drag race episodes are your commentary, lol thank you for keeping it real :D
Loving the Halloween vibes going on with your outfits. Never too early to get into the spooky spirit (I also have no idea when you filmed this so it’s entirely possible it was during Halloween time).
I feel like Monét became more petty as each episode came, like I really liked her on S10 but when she came for all stars I was like.... why is she becoming more unlikable each week??
yeah im just old fashioned/stuck in the 90s cause all those shows (friends, sex and the city, saved by the bell) are just as good now as they were then
The problem for me this season has been that Monet only did well because the judges and the editors TOLD me she did well. There was never a point in which what was shown of her performances ever truly impressed or entertained me.
fun fact, all stars 4 episodes 8 through 10 are some of the worst rated drag race episodes to date lmao Also, the whole clown thing was supposed to be a runway but they obviously didn't get to it so they had to shoehorn it in because the queens paid top coin for those looks. Also explains why a few of them didnt do the whole pie thing because lol money was paid for the clown looks
Something else that would've been better: Melodramatic Gay-ish Shows BALL. Categories are: - Desperate Housewives Eleganza - Sex and the City Cocktail Party - Ryan Murphy Extravaganza: make a look inspired by one of his 20 bad gay shows.
thursday has official become my favorite day of the week for RUclips videos...MovieBitches, The X Change Rate...Chris Klemens usually...just perfect ! i’m also happy that even tho Naomi really looked up to Manila, she recognized that she didn’t stand a chance at winning as long as Manila was still in the competition. it’s sorta the way i wish everyone approached the elimination process in All Stars. i would always eliminate the strongest queen outta the two (lipsticks) 🤷🏿♂️ *f i g h t m e ...*
I would’ve loved it if they said the 5th character can be whoever the queen wants them to be but they don’t have any lines and just have to improve it on set. Then the queen can make or break the scene... true professional can think on her feet. Give it to the last in the bottom. Latrice would’ve killed it!!!!
That's why there was two winners, so no one was saying "oh, trinity didn't deserve to win manila did" or the same for monet. It's also partially so no one can say anyone else was robbed as people would be mad if the strongest competitor didn't win simply because of one lip sync but they'd also be annoyed if they just ignored the lip sync at the end.
That wasn’t Faerie Tale Theatre, but there is a fabulous FTT Puss in Boots episode featuring Gregory Hines, Ben Vereen, and Alfre Woodard (p.s. if Movie Bitches started reviewing FTT, I would looove that)
I didn't particularly like Monet's look, but I immediately recognized that she was doing the Pink Panther.. What ruined it, for me, was instead of a full catsuit (like Trinity and Monique had done) it was a vinyl/PVC halter over a rhinestoned lace bodysuit, which didn't read feline. That, and her wig threw off the dimensions of her whole face, then all the jewels everywhere it was way too much. Too many textures, and different shades shades of pink that were not complementary.. It was just a massive mess.
You're talking about Manila like she is some kind of untouchable Drag Goddess, and she is not, she is an amazing drag queen, but so as all the other top 4 girls in AS4.
@@alexanderwolverson6594 no she is not Week 1: Fine, Safe Week 2: Low Week 3: Overrated Week 4: Great Week 5: Great Week 7: Fine, but she was outperformed by Latrice, Trinity,Monique and Monet Week 8: White sheet Her "track record" isnt that impressive and her only gag worthy look was the gray gown on week 2.
i'm so confused, till this day i think im the ONLY person that likes monet costume AND doesn't think chichi's lipsync of "and i am telling you" was very good
who is still talking about desperate housewives and sex and the city? me, wendy williams, hollywood (they keep talking making a third movie for sex and a desperate housewives continuation series is on the way)
Manila: *gets eliminated
MovieBitches: I’m so bored I could die.
Who ever designed Trinity's costume should have designed the costumes for CATS the movie lol
@Adrianna Acedia Lmao!!!! Damn!!!!! Hahahaa
Anyone else loving the fact that Andrew was more turned on by guacamole than the hot naked guy?
I'm very proud of you guys for sticking with this season, this is the closest I'll get to ever watching it again.
Naomi saying “Life’s not fair,” is fierce as hell imo
Okay, but why aren’t we talking about Manila’s fabulous cat couture - the best thing about this episode despite not being part of this episode...
And gia's
Right? That Siamese inspired cat dress was OMG!
I didn’t like how Latrice was real cavalier about Manilla going home even though she was in this situation to begin with because she defended Latrice and didn’t want to send her home.

The foreshadowing irony of that British Bake off reference and lack of monetary prize sksksk
@@jamespadilionijr8362 it was uploaded today. Its not from today♡
Americans can't grasp things if they are not about money.
”Give it to Felicity Huffman!” Yikes, talk about something not aging well... 😅😅😅
That Monét look was like someone took all the wrong lessons from watching Nina Bo'nina Brown.
Don’t you be dragging Nina! You should see her poodle she did. Also Monet made her own bad choices.
Oh, no shade on Nina. I’m just saying Monet might have thought she was gonna get a Nina effect when instead she got...that.

Katya was pretty lethargic but 10000 dollars is a pretty good stake.

Latrice's small "woooooork" when Ross is talking about the hotels absolutely cracks me up xD 17:10 for reference, you're welcome :P

“We will be back with...ugh Ross” Fkn mood
Even though I loveeee Manila, I love the fact that Naomi sent her home. These girls play to way much to the cameras and the fandom. It creates a level of inauthenticity. It was a boss move!
"NO GOD DAMMIT MONIQUE!" was my mood this entire season.

Queen 1: cures cancer
Queen 2: solves world hunger
MovieBitches: soooo...double sashay?
Omg you guys predicted the Gays Anatomy challenge.
Amazing XD
The SHADE of this entire season. Sending Manila home was such a petty move.
This just makes me appreciate you guys all over again. I honestly could not finish the season because after Manila left I didn’t care as much. Thank you guys for sticking through it and making the ride enjoyable. Cheers to you guys, Manila, Monique, and all the rest. ❤️
20:56 You guys are actually literally psychic jesus i know you mentioned it on the latest episode as well but you had like mega foresight with this
I click like on these before I watch them, and I'm never disappointed! You guys are so spot on about the season taking a nosedive after Manila's elimination 👍🏻🏳️🌈💕
monet serving some backyardigans realness
20:54 omg she's like Nostradamus
I'm totally impressed with the edits on this epìsode, I mean, the savage lions van? Well done!
I love that this episode doubles as a sex and the city movie review
Oh god that felicity huffman cut away with that trombone music caught me off guard lool 🤭🤭😂
ohhhhhh, this challenge. when not even monique can save it you know it's really grim.

Yasssss Faerie Tale Theatre!!! I was so obsessed with that series. The Puss and Boots episode was weird tho... My favorite episodes were Rumpelstiltskin, The Nightingale, and The Princess and the Pea (which stars Liza Minnelli. It's well worth the watch! Little 7 year old gay me was entranced by her.)
God I lived for Avaryl mentioning Kirbys Dreamland with receipts !!!
I agree Monet was definitely over praised throughout the season & OMG I vaguely remember that Shelley Duvall Fairy Tale show!
That "of course" GIF is gold!!
I'm happy you continued because I refused to watch the last 2 episodes, so I finally get to see exactly the trainwreck that happened.
"Hello I'm Shelley Duvall" ICONIC
I think this might be the worst single episode of Drag Race I've seen since All Stars 1.
All of all stars 3 says hi
@Paul Brown She erased herself, it's fine.
so funny watching this in 2022 because EVERYONE is talking about sex and the city
Faerie Tale Theatre was a staple of my childhood! Cinderella with Matthew Broderick and Jennifer Beals is hilariously adorable
If AS5 keeps this format, I am _confused_ . Even ignoring the gigantic amount of people who hate it, (with a fury) I cant think of a time I've seen someone who's living for it 🤣
"Like Will and Grace, some episodes aged okay, but others are like.... EWWWWWWW"
Monique was my favorite on the cat runway!🤩🤗
is anyone else on mobile in here who doesn't see their thumbnails anymore? they've been just grey for the past few weeks
Yep, the same happening here!
Its not just a mobile problem. It happens on desktop too.
it's fine for me
I thought that I was the only person who has ever seen fairytale theater. Thank you for validating what I thought was a weird fever dream
I was thinking of Raven calling Tati shit, and then you played the exact clip for shady editing reference. Read my mind hahahah! My fave part of drag race episodes are your commentary, lol thank you for keeping it real :D
🎶Whatta mess, whatta mess, whatta mess, whatta mighty big messssssss 🎵
On All Stars, and potentially even on regular Drag Race, it is better to be the Robbed Queen than the Winner.
Loving the Halloween vibes going on with your outfits. Never too early to get into the spooky spirit (I also have no idea when you filmed this so it’s entirely possible it was during Halloween time).
I have watched Desperate Housewives in full sixteen times.
I watched it when I was 9 before school and I’ve loved it ever since
Those awkward, uncomfortable claps they give after that R*** Matthews Standard Hotel commercial. 🤣
They were asked to bring clown outfits, but the girls thought it was going to be a runway category and not a look for a challenge
The mention of Gay's Anatomy at 20:52 ... and they end up really doing. You guys&dolls predicted the entire s12. #Witches! 🧙🏻♀️🧙🏻
We just need you two to be producers / editors on the show. Ilook more forward to your reviews 😂
I feel like Monét became more petty as each episode came, like I really liked her on S10 but when she came for all stars I was like.... why is she becoming more unlikable each week??
SEX AND THE CITY REVIEW . I NEED IT
Yes. Show me the receipts. Easy on the editing. Well put.
yeah im just old fashioned/stuck in the 90s cause all those shows (friends, sex and the city, saved by the bell) are just as good now as they were then
They missed a perfect opportunity for BLACK CAT BY JANET FUCKING JACKSON!?!?!
Something looked slightly off, and then I remembered how old this season is and how its post new wall paint
Pandora on all stars 6 did do Kim Katrall on snatch game and you were right.
it’s so funny to go from watching this episode...and then going to watch The X Change Rate... hahahaha
Y'all should review aj and the queen.
The problem for me this season has been that Monet only did well because the judges and the editors TOLD me she did well. There was never a point in which what was shown of her performances ever truly impressed or entertained me.
Are you reviewing the season 12 cast?
I’m somewhat Grateful for my early onset dementia because I have no recollection of this and to be honest with you it’s a memory I’m glad was erased
Have you guys done a SATC retro review? Andrew had me cackling!
fun fact, all stars 4 episodes 8 through 10 are some of the worst rated drag race episodes to date lmao
Also, the whole clown thing was supposed to be a runway but they obviously didn't get to it so they had to shoehorn it in because the queens paid top coin for those looks. Also explains why a few of them didnt do the whole pie thing because lol money was paid for the clown looks
Why did yall not talk about Manilas FABULOUS SIAMESE CAT LOOK!
at random points in this video the sound goes out. is it my computer?
32:54
omg what is thiiiiiis 😍
Haha your reactions to monet’s look was great. It was a choice.
I’m 2 seconds in and it’s already worth the wait
Well, SMG was in one episode of Sex and the City. LOL. This was great, though I missed Manila.

you predicted gays anatomy before season 12. they are watching and they are listening....sometimes
Wow, I literally forgot all about this episode. I must've blacked out after Manila left

i got it monet. its female pink panther
Also can we get a review on SATC movie
Madeline runway when?
Ru was actually wearing clothing from way back when sometimes. I think this outfit was one of them.
You're talking about Manila like she is some kind of untouchable Drag Goddess, and she is not, she is an amazing drag queen, but so as all the other top 4 girls in AS4.
mauro gentile Manilla is better than the top 4 combined. Monet, Naomi, and Monique were amateur at best.
@@alexanderwolverson6594 no she is not
Week 1: Fine, Safe
Week 2: Low
Week 3: Overrated
Week 4: Great
Week 5: Great
Week 7: Fine, but she was outperformed by Latrice, Trinity,Monique and Monet
Week 8: White sheet
Her "track record" isnt that impressive and her only gag worthy look was the gray gown on week 2.
i'm so confused, till this day i think im the ONLY person that likes monet costume AND doesn't think chichi's lipsync of "and i am telling you" was very good
Ultimately, if the show was going to promote a Tie as a Winner, then it should have been Trinity n Manila.
