I had the exact same reaction to Monique's performance/judging. I was LOVING it, and then they started cutting to the judges' unimpressed faces and I was baffled. It made me really wonder if I had no taste or didn't understand what the show wanted from the queens anymore, because there was such a disconnect between my reaction to Monique and the show's reaction.
I posted a gif set of Valentina's part of the lip sync and tumblr flagged it because of female presenting nimble and all I thought was, 'they don't know'
Stacy said at a Roscoe's viewing party that she recorded some reads/critique for that episode, but they didn't use any of that footage in the final cut.
I’m glad you guys don’t pause your talking much because when you do I find myself talking back to you as if I’m having a conversation with friends and it’s very embarrassing and sad. (I love you)
Yay, i got the stay home from work (it is snowing like crazy in Minnesota) and I’m cuddling with my kitty and I get to relive this episode through your eyes. I don’t understand why they don’t have former queens as judges. It would make so much sense.
Kacey Musgraves is a phenomenal performer! A surprisingly progressive country star with songs about acceptance, feminism, and smoking weed. Her last album, Golden Hour, was hands down my album of 2018, and has songs that are both really fun and really touching. More gays need to find Kacey Musgraves. edit: Well, this is embarrassing. I misspelled Kacey.
The judging is getting more and more bizarre as the years roll by. It's especially insane in All Stars. I swear I don't remember being as dumbfounded by the 'choices' when the earlier seasons were airing. Idk, maybe I'm not remembering my live reaction to the older seasons as well, but I feel like I'm in the twilight zone listening to these judges sometimes.
Taylor N. No you’re not misremembering. I remember, while maybe not always agreeing, I was never completely baffled by the judges decisions like I’ve been in the recent seasons.
Idk I think its just because it's All Stars and the bottoms are not as clear as the other seasons. I honestly don't feel like this judging has been as bad as everyone acts like it was. Watching the performance again, I think Farrah, Manila and Monique's were the messiest. Monique had a great voice but she stumbled with the choreography and her look was worse than Manila. I guess you could make the argument Gia was worse than Manila and Monique but idk I don't really agree with that.
@@Avatar_Brandy sorry I just disagree. Is choreo all they were being judged on? Was choreo all they asked for? No. Valentina was straight up standing in front of Stacy at one point, despite one of the prompts being to feature her in the choreo! The judging just seems wack because half the time it's like they ignore what they initially ask for. Picking and choosing fractions of the assignment to focus on. Regardless my point was that this didn't happen nearly as often in the older season, and never so blatantly.
I shouldn't be surprised anymore at this point, but somehow I still am every time you guys release an episode, and I agree with EVERYTHING. You guys are so on point. Definitely team Monique and team Naomi. Naomi is the type of "villain" (but not actually a villain) that I like. She's not spiteful or playing up any sort of hatefulness. She is simply being fabulous and playing the game. As she should be. Honestly, Naomi has completely won me over.
I have nothing against Naomi being a "villain", but I question her integrity a little after her reasoning when she is in the bottom versus when she has the power herself. It's important for me to be able to respect a queen.
Avryl is the first person doing one of these reviews to actually say Valentina was wearing hydrangeas. Everyone else got the flower wrong and it annoyed me so much. Thank you for that.
Andrew's Kermit THE Frog impression just made the wait for this review worth it. Great job guys! And yes, Avaryl, you are SO correct. Gia's jumpsuit WAS everything. I might need one.
Thank you for being honest about Valentina's lipsync. Everyone on Twitter was going crazy about and I was like.... "eh". I felt like she was doing *every* dance move that she could think of lol She wasn't really dancing for the song at the end
My main take-away from this episode is: Brooches are underrated - I've said this for years! And secondly, I agree that the format of the top two lipsyncing needs to change. I personally believe the best lipsyncs are lipsync for your life and not lipsync for your legacy (Mind you, yes, there are some good legacy-lipsyncs, but my personal favorites are life-lipsyncs).
i agree 100% on your disection of monique's critic. I mean, think about it. They must've used her worst footage so the judges' critic would make sense and she still killed it, so... maybe she shouldn't have been in the bottom.
Ok so I have 3 things to say: 1) I love that you are calling out the crazy rigga morris production of this season because it’s worse than ever and so frustrating - yet the show pretends that the queens have the power 2) Naomi was robbed this episode, totally agree that they should have judged them as groups with team Monique winning and Naomi and Monet in the top (Monique’s verse was great but her gown just wasn’t it) 3) Kacey Musgraves is awesome, she stands upp for LGBT+ rights and talks about drugs and depression - which she has been shunned by the country community for :(. But she’s getting the last laugh because she is nominated for album of the year at the grammys! Anyway, love you bitches!
HOW did you not make a "I know you can be underwhelmed, and you can be overwhelmed, but can you ever just be, like, whelmed?" Ten Things I Hate About You connection, it was so superbliminal! (Also amazing episode as ever) x
Thank god for Patreon! I almost want to be a fussy man-child, that this being weeks after the episode airing, but it’s actually fantastic! I’m loving revisiting these episodes with you guys!
just FYI Kacey Musgraves’ album Golden Hour is the most critically acclaimed album of 2018, she’s basically a country star turned indie kids new fav! love her so much, so I was excited to see her on Drag Race since she’s such a LGBTQ+ supporter.
Gotta show my friends the Kuleshov effect now, they always look at me crazy when I tell them that AS feels super produced (puppet strings) at times. 💀💀
Sidenote: Valentina's weird butt dress WAS a tearaway. The designer posted pictures of it on Instagram saying it was made for "a different theme" but Valentina decided to wear it for her eleguance runway. :)
One of the gag is that Monique actually defended Farrah multiple times from Gia's nonsense but they didnt show it at all because they want to produce a "good tv drama" lol. And they did consult stacy again, but they cut it out... for whatever reason.
I was OBSESSED with Jose and the Pussycats soundtrack. That and a Sabrina the Teenage Witch CD were in constant rotation inbetween my Spice Girls, Brittney , and Christina.
Maybe RuPaul's dress was an optical illusion reference - from a distance it looked like white and gold, but if you got close the white was actually made of tiny black and blue stripes?
The Runway Gia- night of 1000 Rupuals Latrice- fabulous Black widow Manilla- Q U E E N Trinity- RED for a naught night Valentina- Royal Garden lunch Naomi- Sliver 70s club runway Monique-naughty Enchantress Farrah- 70s club local diva Monet-red carpet personified
My friend and I were laugh/crying about how glad we are that we didn’t go to high school with Gia. Can you IMAGINE?! I’d cry every day! I loooooove Miss Gia, though!!
you guys are so right, valentina's performance is the biggest and somehow feels the most genuine? like her delusion is so charismatic. in love with her this season
I feel personally offended by this installment. Saying The Great Muppet Caper is the best Muppet movie is Muppet Treasure Island erasure, and I will not stand for it. Tim Curry! Billy Connolly! Jennifer Saunders! The weird long haired kid who played Jim! All of them masters of their craft, brought together in one musical extravaganza. The INDIGNITY!
Best Birthday Gift!! Love you two~ The designer of Valentina's runway posted on Instagram that the back-bunch-thing was a reveal to a tight bottom for the dress
I LOVE The Great Muppet Caper. Could not be more on board for this endorsement! "If I were bored, I'd talk about... I don't know... jam." Also, "MY JEWELS!" Fabulous movie. Incredible! Also, yes, the bikes!!! As a kid, it was a fun song, now it's a miracle of puppetry! How did they do that?
I love Valentina. Every time she enters the workroom she has a moment. She plans & serves her boy look almost as much as she serves her girl look. She’s just always on.
I honestly feel like they invited Stacey back for All Stars 4 and she was like 'Henny I'm above those queens, I don't need a show to tell me I'm great' but because she's a fan favourite they wanted her in there somehow - would be the only good reason that this challenge even exists haha
Great muppet caper! Please retro RUVIEW!!! Love that movie and the obvious body double they used to have miss piggy riding a motorcycle! Love that movie!!!
Tumblr's staff "fixing" their own site was about the same as Rudy Giuliani "fixing" New York. Also funny how Michelle mistook the homage to Aaliyah and called the outfit TLC considering she was the one to correct Santino in season 6 about a 90s look during the rap challenge. Looking forward to receiving the shirts I ordered from your store btw. (Big Ang' voice) I'm very exciteddddd.
Gia said "I'm not bullying her" like when a sibling is doing the "I'm not touching you" thing
...has Miss Piggy ever been a judge?...cuz I want that.
Lady Bunny is there in a couple of episodes' time.
vaughnerich this needs to happen!!
She was a judge on Project Runway so I don’t see why she couldn’t be a judge on Drag Race.
Ur cute!
vaughnerich no but she walked the runway this episode

Oh god with what’s just recently gone down this episode feels like decades ago.
im still in mourning...idk if ill watch tmrw's ep or just quit and just wait till the regular season starts.
Yes - very *that* (to quote Willam quoting Heathers). I'm really missing the eliminated girls and the energy they brought.
Iain 97 how about with what just happened right now?
Avaryl is really sprucing up her hairdo with pirate wench scarves and I am NOT mad about it~
??? WENCH ???
more pirate Queen
thank u guys for providing a non-confrontational space for drag fans
Stacy IS a Heather now! Remember the reunion?
Who tha fck is Heather?
Stacy said at a Roscoe's viewing party that she recorded some reads/critique for that episode, but they didn't use any of that footage in the final cut.
“throw some glitter on something and judge it arbitrarily”- the producers of All Stars 1
Avaryl’s references are fresh and cool like tilapia
I love that Gia is mad about Farah showing up where she worked drunk... Because I'm assuming she was working at a bar. 🍹
I’m glad you guys don’t pause your talking much because when you do I find myself talking back to you as if I’m having a conversation with friends and it’s very embarrassing and sad. (I love you)
the edit of the Michelle Kuleshov effect set to Andrew's Disney party song made me laugh so much that I couldn't even breathe
I was SCREAMING at RuPaul on the Weakest Link!!
lookin busted af
Monique looked like a Sailor Moon villain
OMG YES
Totally support that cross over.
...
CHAKA KHAN.
...
chubiisio She was short of Astral Chart tho.
OMG that was SO. FUNNY. I rewatched it like 15 times
That Rupaul Weakest Link Chaka Khan clip was such a deep pull and exactly the reason I love you guys so much
"Just don't funk ME up...or do." YAAAAASSSS
Yay, i got the stay home from work (it is snowing like crazy in Minnesota) and I’m cuddling with my kitty and I get to relive this episode through your eyes. I don’t understand why they don’t have former queens as judges. It would make so much sense.
*heeeenny*
Henny inception
Oh Henny that Josie and the Pussycats VHS in the background. Feeling 2000's realness.
Have you guys seen Lizzo's performance on Fallon where she gives Monique Heart a nod? Legendary
9:03 oh my god that photo is so earlier 2000’s realness
who is it?
@@TimmmTim i think its a younger andrew.
You guys have been referencing A League of Their Own a lot lately. I think it's time for a Retro Review in honor of Penny and Gary Marshall!!!
I need them to do a harry potter based challenge on Drag Race UK and the runway theme has to be “Sorceress Elegance”
You mean Philosophers
(Get it?)
Cool
So happy to see a new upload from you two! Perfect for watching while I go full Marie Kondo on my closet.
MYBY孟言布语 I tackled mine last week. I had 46 black T-shirts!
Make sure to recycle those goods hunnie
Kacey Musgraves is a phenomenal performer! A surprisingly progressive country star with songs about acceptance, feminism, and smoking weed.
Her last album, Golden Hour, was hands down my album of 2018, and has songs that are both really fun and really touching.
More gays need to find Kacey Musgraves.
edit: Well, this is embarrassing. I misspelled Kacey.
once again so excited to watch another ruview whilst also being memorized by Avaryl's headscarf! ICONIC!
Farrah calmly taking down Gia... Love it! Great episode once again bitches!

I DIED when you played "Party Tonight" during the Kuleshov bit with Michelle, can that be your new stock music to play in comedy bits from now on?
I shouldn't be surprised anymore at this point, but somehow I still am every time you guys release an episode, and I agree with EVERYTHING. You guys are so on point. Definitely team Monique and team Naomi. Naomi is the type of "villain" (but not actually a villain) that I like. She's not spiteful or playing up any sort of hatefulness. She is simply being fabulous and playing the game. As she should be. Honestly, Naomi has completely won me over.
I have such a soft spot for Naomi mainly because my little brother looks a lot like her (minus the lip injections) but also because she's so talented
I have nothing against Naomi being a "villain", but I question her integrity a little after her reasoning when she is in the bottom versus when she has the power herself. It's important for me to be able to respect a queen.
I have a fever... and the only cure... is more MovieBitches!!! Welcome back!
It always warms my cold heart seeing you gals back back back back back again 😍
Avryl is the first person doing one of these reviews to actually say Valentina was wearing hydrangeas. Everyone else got the flower wrong and it annoyed me so much. Thank you for that.
i seriously LIVE every time y'all upload!! it makes my entire week! Nothing can ruin this day, thanks guys for real we love you so much !! XOXO
Andrew's Kermit THE Frog impression just made the wait for this review worth it. Great job guys! And yes, Avaryl, you are SO correct. Gia's jumpsuit WAS everything. I might need one.

Alvyonzo Valentina was the undisputed winner of the episode.
They did consult on Henny at the end again, they just didnt put it in.
HOW did you not make a "I know you can be underwhelmed, and you can be overwhelmed, but can you ever just be, like, whelmed?" Ten Things I Hate About You connection, it was so superbliminal! (Also amazing episode as ever) x
The antonym of subliminal is explicit
contrabassoon come through SAT words
Why have I NEVER seen that clip of RuPaul
I need merch that says “I’m a proponent of the Mini-Challenge” like ASAP
Thank god for Patreon!
I almost want to be a fussy man-child, that this being weeks after the episode airing, but it’s actually fantastic! I’m loving revisiting these episodes with you guys!
just FYI Kacey Musgraves’ album Golden Hour is the most critically acclaimed album of 2018, she’s basically a country star turned indie kids new fav! love her so much, so I was excited to see her on Drag Race since she’s such a LGBTQ+ supporter.
modern_thing
That album made me cry, like omg. Such great tunes
well and now she’s also a Grammy award winner for album of the year 🌈🌈🌈
Love you guys.....you are truly missed in the week between posts hahaha
My GOD do I just love everything about you two!!❤️ it’s like hanging out with friends every time I watch any of your videos! So damn entertaining
Gotta show my friends the Kuleshov effect now, they always look at me crazy when I tell them that AS feels super produced (puppet strings) at times. 💀💀
My favourite part of this episode was Farrah trying to kiss the mirror at the end 😂
Sidenote: Valentina's weird butt dress WAS a tearaway. The designer posted pictures of it on Instagram saying it was made for "a different theme" but Valentina decided to wear it for her eleguance runway. :)
I have been CRYING at this Michelle/Kuleshov bit for ten minutes. A+ you two
This is what makes me love Thursdays
"look at this literal barbie trying to dance" hahaha you've made farrah inspirational in this episode, I'll never look at her the same
One of the gag is that Monique actually defended Farrah multiple times from Gia's nonsense but they didnt show it at all because they want to produce a "good tv drama" lol.
And they did consult stacy again, but they cut it out... for whatever reason.
Avaryl talking about the Great Muppet Caper, I have never felt more seen in my life. YES.
I was OBSESSED with Jose and the Pussycats soundtrack. That and a Sabrina the Teenage Witch CD were in constant rotation inbetween my Spice Girls, Brittney , and Christina.
Love how excited you guys get when talking about drag/movies, it's contagious!
omg ‘liminal’ is my new favourite thing
Maybe RuPaul's dress was an optical illusion reference - from a distance it looked like white and gold, but if you got close the white was actually made of tiny black and blue stripes?
Finding this uploaded, after a simple girls night out, at 3am in Australia, makes one liveth hunties, I receive 🙏🙌🙌
I would be so here for it if y'all reviewed Funny Face and talk a out Edith Head and Givenchy's costumes!
Gurl this episode was Rigga Morris...
"The Great Muppet Caper" IS the best muppet movie ever. Retro Review time Haha
Monique didn't deserve any of her two bottom positions in AS4.
I couldn’t have had a worse week. But this video really helped brightened my day. Love you guys!
The Runway
Gia- night of 1000 Rupuals
Latrice- fabulous Black widow
Manilla- Q U E E N
Trinity- RED for a naught night
Valentina- Royal Garden lunch
Naomi- Sliver 70s club runway
Monique-naughty Enchantress
Farrah- 70s club local diva
Monet-red carpet personified
My friend and I were laugh/crying about how glad we are that we didn’t go to high school with Gia. Can you IMAGINE?! I’d cry every day! I loooooove Miss Gia, though!!
YAASSS! Welcome Back,... you two were missed.....
**blowing kisses like they do on the Dating Game**
Now Gia is like Darth Vader to Naomi’s Emperor
you guys are so right, valentina's performance is the biggest and somehow feels the most genuine? like her delusion is so charismatic. in love with her this season
Yes! Over an hour of Moviebitches, just what my morning needed 😁
manila's akmunrah realness has got to be my favourite line from andrew ever! more moviebitches and the mummy references pls!
Great Muppet Caper 🙌🏻✨
I feel personally offended by this installment. Saying The Great Muppet Caper is the best Muppet movie is Muppet Treasure Island erasure, and I will not stand for it. Tim Curry! Billy Connolly! Jennifer Saunders! The weird long haired kid who played Jim! All of them masters of their craft, brought together in one musical extravaganza. The INDIGNITY!
PLEASE DO A RETRO REVIEW OF THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best Birthday Gift!! Love you two~
The designer of Valentina's runway posted on Instagram that the back-bunch-thing was a reveal to a tight bottom for the dress
Happy birthday!
Look who made it to 40K !!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Rewinding and rewinding your reaction to Manila's runway look. I'm livin'
Omg the Happy Endings reference!
I LOVE The Great Muppet Caper. Could not be more on board for this endorsement! "If I were bored, I'd talk about... I don't know... jam." Also, "MY JEWELS!" Fabulous movie. Incredible! Also, yes, the bikes!!! As a kid, it was a fun song, now it's a miracle of puppetry! How did they do that?
I love it, but my favorite is still Muppets Take Manhattan. Both are excellent and that musical number was life-changing when I was a kid.
When you scream at the mixed nuts bit 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
im a film major and i think i cried for 20 minutes at michelle's kuleshov portrait
Side note: we definitely need a Life Size retro review
“I’ve seen it before.” 😂 both of her elimination looks were silver gowns with pink hair.
I love Valentina. Every time she enters the workroom she has a moment. She plans & serves her boy look almost as much as she serves her girl look. She’s just always on.
My Best Friends are Back!
Can't believe I had to wait so long to have my opinions affirmed- 'Everybody Say Love' was SO much better!
Ok but where can I listen to the full version of Party Tonight?
I honestly feel like they invited Stacey back for All Stars 4 and she was like 'Henny I'm above those queens, I don't need a show to tell me I'm great' but because she's a fan favourite they wanted her in there somehow - would be the only good reason that this challenge even exists haha
"I am stuck in the elevator!" Dying.
Great muppet caper! Please retro RUVIEW!!! Love that movie and the obvious body double they used to have miss piggy riding a motorcycle! Love that movie!!!

I had goosebumps when Manila came out of the runway (and it's not because I'm holding a fart).
1984? '84? More like *whispers* '96..
