the people that are unhappy seeing queens that have waited up to a decade now get a fair shot at an all stars crown, just because they're not their favourite, are missing the point of all stars. Can't wait to see all these icons again, especially Darienne, Jessica and Kasha. Also, you're both looking FINE 😍👌🏻
“The same few queens are coming back too frequently for All Stars! Give other queens a chance!” Finally casts a queen who hadn’t been on TV for 13 years: “Why did you cast this absolute nobody?” Clown behavior 🤡🤡🤡
The same people who are unhappy could never be on the casting team because the show would be full of humorless Look Queens who can't lipsync or do comedy. Vanjie and Shangela are the proof that being an early out doesn't mean that you're a bad Drag Queen. It just mean that anyone can go home (except for the production favs). The show is rigged af. The only thing that isn't rigged is that every Queen on All Stars is talented. Kylie had no win on her OG season and won All Stars, Ra'Jah had no win on her OG season and won Canada vs the World. JIMBO's OG season was rigged AF and the judges only gave her one win when she deserved more. Wins and placements have nothing to with talent and star quality. It's just what the judges and production use to craft stories. Give these Queens a chance to prove themselves as the real stars they are.
I think AS2 set a precedent that all stars is supposed to only be for fan favorites and top 6 queens. But even since AS1 we had an early out in Tammie Brown, and every other season besides AS2 has had early outs or controversial queens that deserve a second chance. We saw how well AS6 was received, and this cast very much reminds me of that. I’m super excited to see how this season plays out, I think the cast is STELLAR!
Personally, I think Monica came on at the *perfect* time. Although she isn’t well-remembered by the fanbase, she *is* extremely politically active. To my knowledge, she’s active in local politics, advocating for trans rights, which is a very hot topic right now. Even at the time she was casted and the season was filmed, the political climate was already taking a hard right towards the current fully blown trans panic. I think she will definitely take the screen time to bring further awareness to trans activism.
Seriously, of all people who need to learn that trans people can do drag too, if Drag Race audiences still don't know that after such an influx in trans queens and winners a la Vanessa Cartier, Willow Pill, Gottmik, Sasha Colby, Sonique, Jiggly Caliente, Gia Gunn, etc. I don't think Monica getting 9 minutes of screen time on AS8 is doing for trans activism what the fans like to think its doing. I'm a Puerto Rican. Do I almost always automatically vibe with the Puerto Rican queens like Naysha, Vanjie, Alyssa Hunter cause representation is cool? Yes. Do I NEED a Puerto Rican on EVERY single season just to fill some diversity box even if that year the other castmates were more appealing to casting and will claim racism against the show for not just shoving Puerto Rican queens in every single season to fill a quota? No. We get it. There's other topics in the gay community and other factors in trans people's lives besides just their trans identity. Jesus these fans love to categorize the queens and put them into little political boxes for their own vendettas.
idk abt yall but seeing darienne, monica, kasha, jessica and alexis made me excited for the season more than when I saw kandy or even jimbo. they're not fan favourites but I'm excited to see them back than immediately casting someone from season 12-16 just bcs they were fan favourites. I'm not expecting much but I'm just happy the early season girls who are not fan favourites are getting their chances. People are too quick to judge and couldn't just be happy
The best Heidi moment was when she defended Aiden in untucked and was like “fuck you fuck you fuck you and fuck you” oh my god she’s so iconic and sweet 😂😂
Now that underated queens are coming back. I want Dida (S4), Lineysha (S5), April (S6) , Kandy Ho (S7), The Princess (S4), Joslyn (S6), Max (S7), Acid Betty (S8), Kimora Blac (S9) and Jackie (S12)
People have asked for an early out season and now they’ve kinda got it. Why are there complaints, especially after we got all winners last year? This fandom is spoiled
Tbf it's the worst possible scenario for those who wanted a first outs season and it's obviously not catering to those who don't like all stars including non maxi winners so I can see why people are mad. What's the point of a half outs season, especially when it's including rich, booked, and super loved worldwide jimbo right after we've seen Ru invested in him winning and him both being a huge fan fave plus recently robbed "RuFave". I love jimbo, I love everyone in this cast actually and am so happy to see Jessica, Jaymes, Heidi, etc but I'm kinda not loving the setup with them obviously initially wanting a first out's season then changing production halfway through after not getting those they wanted to likely a Jim's 3rd time's a charm success story. I'm personally still going to be happy to see everyone on screen, but I'm worried I'll be disappointed and I get why others see this as an "everyone who wanted the ideas thrown into this season loses" situation
one of my favorite aspects of this cast is how many seasons are represented. almost everyone is the only one from their season and it creates so much more variety. you see queens from so many eras of the show and drag itself all interacting with each other.
Honestly, I haven't been that excited about an AS season in a while. I absolutely love every queen and even the ones I'm not familiar with make me want to see what they brought. Plus it looks like there's gonna be drama and it's been a while...
I am so so excited in particular for Mrs. Kasha!! I just got a cameo from her for my sister’s bday and it was 3 minutes long and full of such heartfelt jokes and advice. I am so proud of her and her sobriety journey as well, her story will absolutely touch many people in the audience ❤
I'm totally happy with them rigging a challenge win for Jimbo during the only day that Pangina might find herself in the area so she can come in and lip sync lmao.
Yes gawd! And the fandom is overwhelmingly in support of her winning or at least making the top 3-4 (as far as I've seen). She really has that "it" factor imo and I live! Bring on the peak drag clown buffoonery! Lol
I get Jimbo, she's just not my cup of tea. But I'm still curious to see how she does in the competition and see if she becomes the Canadian Jujubee lmao
To me, here are some of the pros of all of these DA's on the cast this year. No Cons, as this is a place of positivity, right? So without further ado: Alexis Michelle: will probably have one of the most show-ready presences on the show. She can turn it out once she hits the stage, and I imagine more time since her season has given perspective on how to hone that in a stronger way than before. Darienne Lake: a very talented lip-syncer who's also pretty professional in terms of onstage personas. Plus, I can't wait to see what she does in the comedy challenges, as she's one of the few people who can beat Bianca Del Rio in the reading challenge! Heidi Neutral Closet: has a personality that's practically made for TV. There's a reason she was one of the most requested to bring back on this, because she can be funny, and has probably used the time and money since her season to hone her personality and character. Plus, we all know she'll crush the confessionals again. Jaymes Mansfield: even though she didn't last long on her season, she's spent a lot of time developing her brand and character into something that's truly unique to her. Plus, if there was any first-out to bring back on, it's her. Jessica Wilde: has had the longest gap in between seasons, and thus has had the most time to hone her drag persona and study the direction the competition has gone in since her original season. Plus, as we saw as a Lip-Sync Assassin on AS6, she's a strong performer! JIMBO: one of the most unique and original personalities to come on the entire franchise. There's a reason RuPaul clicked with them on UK Vs. The World, since they can be hilarious and talented in many aspects. Plus, if they do well on this (so long as this isn't rigged for them), it can open the door for more international girls to come on. Kahanna Montrese: has gained a lot of performance experience from being on the Vegas show. Plus, since we didn't really know her much last time, she comes in with probably the cleanest slate of anyone. So it's almost like a whole new girl has come on this. Kandy Muse: one of the strongest personalities to ever appear on Drag Race. Like Heidi, she's another one who'll give great confessionals and who knows how to make great TV. She's one you remember from Season 13, and for good reason. Plus, I can see her pulling a Ra'Jah O'Hara and getting a villain redemption arc this season. LaLa Ri: I could see her being the Monique/Mo Heart of this season; someone who showed a lot of potential and talent the first time, but will show what she's really capable of this time. She came off as a fun and exciting presence on the season (she won Miss Congeniality for a reason), and I can't wait to see her growth and evolution. Monica Beverly Hillz: this one's probably the biggest toss-up for me. The show seems determined to bring transgender alums back onto the show for more exposure (see Kylie Sonique Love and Gia Gunn), and Monica coming out on the main stage was a big deal. We haven't seen her in a while, but maybe she's been honing her talents all these years. Mrs. Kasha Davis: probably one of the most professional of the cast there. She's constantly been performing and showcasing her talents ever since the show, and has worked extremely hard to keep her name on people's lips. Plus, her being so many years sober now, major congrats to her on that. Check her documentary, Workhorse Queen, out too. Naysha Lopez: wasn't on her original season long, but you can tell she's put the work in to evolve and grow as a performer. Especially with her hosting the Roscoe's parties, she's gotten to know the show and its alums better than most. We could also be seeing a whole new girl this time around.
Lol, oh jeez, someone please tell that poor handsome man that Film Noir was born in the 1940’s. Films that make up the Noir canon, like The Maltese Falcon, Laura, and Double Indemnity, were all released in the 1940’s, many featuring top stars like Humphrey Bogart and Barbara Stanwyck. Conversely, the transition from Silent to Sound cinema didn’t even fully take hold until 1927-28. During the 1920’s the big stars were invariably people who made their names during the silent era - think Greta Garbo and Rudolph Valentino. Very few figures both survived the transition from Silent to Sound, AND maintained an upward career trajectory into the 1940’s. Joan Crawford is one of the only ones I can think of. Other great stars of the 30’s and 40’s, like Bette Davis and Katharine Hepburn, were recruited from the stage specifically because of the demands of transition to sound. ❤
the way I thought this was a zoom call for the first 20 seconds because the corner of the wall right inbetween you guys made it look like a split screen
i love how it’s a combo of early outs and controversial/polarizing finalists. this is gonna be such a fascinating season and i hope a lot of the queens who we haven’t seen in years have a lot to show.
I’m surprised how no one is talking about how Jaymes Mansfield is the first first-out queen to come back for all-stars (except for Shangela, but she is a special case cause she came back for season three) unless I am mistaken. If she came back as the first out then ended up winning All Starts that would be wildddd
Though I'm not a huge fan of Jaymes (no shade whatsoever ... I'm just one of those queerdos in the Jimbo clown car lol), I would absolutely not be mad at that whatsoever! I love a good comeback story! Tbf, Kahanna Montrese was second out on S11 and therefore instantly forgotten (like most second outs tend to be), and Naysha was also first out on S8 but brought back (for some reason I don't remember lol) just to be re-eliminated. But I'm with you here - Jaymes going from first out to first place would be iconic! I'm here for the comedy, the fashion, the drama, all of it. May 12 cannot arrive fast enough!
Nah I’m literally 10 minutes in and only just realised they’re not just on a call they’re actually sat next to each other I stg I thought that god damn corner of the wall in the background was where one camera view cut to the other’s camera view💀
I’m excited for Jaymes and Monica, their eliminations were so sad. I actually think this is a great time for Monica. For better or for worse, she’s best remembered for having an emotional breakdown, coming out on the runway, and being eliminated the very next episode. For the longest time, it was rumored that she was blacklisted because she’s one of the girls who’s criticized RuPaul and the show publicly for their past treatment of trans queens. She’s been very outspoken about politics and trans rights. What an opportune moment to bring her back while all this stuff is going on. I hope she gets to speak her mind and most importantly, that she finally has a good time on Drag Race.
Monica isn't second out : before her and Serena was Penny Tration x) but I kinda get why she is forgotten, because it's one of the rare cases where the 2nd out is more iconic than the 1st out.
I was pretty meh about this lineup at first, but after letting it sit for a week and watching this video, I'm really excited for this season. I don't know what I was necessarily expecting to follow the all winner's season, but when y'all made the comparison to as6, I realized just how into it I am
I am so excited to see earlier iuts and queens from other seasons!! The bring so much to show that has been missing with the newer seasons. Im so excited for this season!!
Loved your excitement for this season. My top 4 faves: Jessica Wild, Jaymes Mansfield, Heidi N Closet, Darienne Lake I think the Top 4 is likely to be: Kandy, Heidi, Jimbo, Alexis
The way I’m extreme rooting for MBH I was thinking about her like literally the same week as cast was announced so when she walked through that door my life was made my depression was cured my transition was paid for she is The Moment to me
I literally did not realize they were in the same room until one of them leaned over. I thought the corner of the wall was like where the screens split like a dumbass 😂
No but its the way how i cant believe that we're gonna have to see one of these queens be first out, i just really want all of these queens get to redeem themselves duuude.
Do you know that moment when you chat with your grind hookup before actually hooking up? That's what this video gives and Im here for it (Please read this with hilarious Ross Matthew's voice)
So excited for this season! I love letting ALL the queens shine❤ also you two should make more video collabs because there are some goofy goober shenanigans up in here
Okay but I was not so surprised to see Monica Beverly Hillz, she is really iconic to me. Her moments in Untucked, especially with Serena ChaCha, very memorable
it's a bit unfair for the fan voting, especially when it seems like it'll be Jimbo no matter what. the cast is really great, but i also just wish that if they were going to do an international girl on the USA all stars, that they would atleast pick somebody who hasn't had a chance yet
I'm betting on Jimbo making it to the end with the most wins but idk if she can win the crown if she loses every lip sync like I'm kind of expecting her to. Every AS winner we've had won at least one lip sync and 4 of them won all their lips syncs. Maybe she could take the win Trixie style but it'd have to be against someone with a much worse track record so it'd be a no-brainer to crown her.
@@notanobviouschoice Trxie won her crowning lip sync, which by defintion is a lip sync win. Just like that was her only win, the same could be applied to Jimbo.
@@khntou4178 she absolutely fucking did not beat Kennedy m f davenport in a lipsync. She won because out of the 2 of them she was the more desireable winner. Kennedy ripped her to shreds
@@notanobviouschoice Yeah, I think Kennedy arguably won that lip sync and production likely edited her down so Trixie would win. However, I'm just stating based on the show, together with its format and rigging. You can argue that finale lip syncs are a different category, but by pure definition, that itself was a lip sync. I don't agree that Trixie lost her lip sync to Pearl, but due to the show's rigging and how lip syncs are defined, her only lip sync win officially is against Kennedy.
@@khntou4178 I agree with the Pearl one but Kennedy beat her in the finale but as Trixie performed better out of the two in the competition she deserved it more
Heard the Rock M. Sakura was originally supposed to be on AS8, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the Queens from the order seasons (Jessica Wild) was probably a replacement. Regardless, I'm happy with who we got!!!!
No way it was Jessica. The reason she was a lipsync assassin was to pitch her to the fans. People reacted well to her and were happy she was back, and boom
@@lisamac1986 I forget who, but I don't think Rock M was on the first cast. She may have been passed over for another queen. Matt the drag tea guy said Tatiana, Adore, and Plastique were originally on the first lineup but later dropped out. I haven't heard about Rock being on the initial roster til this comment
Thank you for the excellent video, per usual! I love your content and analyses so much! I just have one (silly) question: Are you two twins??? I swear I thought you just had a mirror there for a second until the conversation began, lol. The resemblance is uncanny and your vibes together are amazing! (Apologies if this a repeat of a comment already posted ... I have time for your videos but not 400+ comments, haha) Thanks again for a stellar breakdown! xoxo
My ideal top 4 would be: Jimbo, Alexis, Heidi and Jessica. I also really like Jaymes. I value talent over drama. I don't care about good TV. Give me good Drag!
People complain they're not all-stars and then complain about Jimbo being casted. With AS6, I don't understand the contreversy, especially with most of these early queens having a great career outside of the show (Jaymes, Kahanna...) and I love they emphasized on this in the meet the queens! I love this cast, but like AS6 early eliminations will hurt, because I think every queen on this cast has a lot to show.
the people that are unhappy seeing queens that have waited up to a decade now get a fair shot at an all stars crown, just because they're not their favourite, are missing the point of all stars. Can't wait to see all these icons again, especially Darienne, Jessica and Kasha. Also, you're both looking FINE 😍👌🏻
“The same few queens are coming back too frequently for All Stars! Give other queens a chance!”

Very few figures both survived the transition from Silent to Sound, AND maintained an upward career trajectory into the 1940’s. Joan Crawford is one of the only ones I can think of.
Other great stars of the 30’s and 40’s, like Bette Davis and Katharine Hepburn, were recruited from the stage specifically because of the demands of transition to sound.

I personally cannot wait to see Kasha again
the way I thought this was a zoom call for the first 20 seconds because the corner of the wall right inbetween you guys made it look like a split screen
I spent the majority of this video trying to figure out if y'all are in the same room or if this is a well edited video call😭😭
Everyone deserves a chance for a second attempt for the crown….
Or a third and 4th 👀

Not Kandy No Talent No Fashion Sense Should Have Never Been Casted On Her Original Season Muse
@@BRANDONDEVON u mad ❤️
i love how it’s a combo of early outs and controversial/polarizing finalists. this is gonna be such a fascinating season and i hope a lot of the queens who we haven’t seen in years have a lot to show.
All stars is an opportunity to do one (or more) of three things, redeem, reintroduce, or re-enforce themselves
Heidi outfit for season 13 roast is based on Micheal Jackson outfit he wear in the video clip for the song smooth criminal
this video is just further proof to me that this season couldve been THAT BITCH. Yet here we are.
that hand-over-mouth motion BelakBoy is constantly doing 💀 oh my stop
The way y’all are positioned in frame I thought this was zoom boxes until your hand crossed the frame lmao
I’m surprised how no one is talking about how Jaymes Mansfield is the first first-out queen to come back for all-stars (except for Shangela, but she is a special case cause she came back for season three) unless I am mistaken. If she came back as the first out then ended up winning All Starts that would be wildddd
Technically Pandora also came back after going home first on All Stars, but I get what you mean
@@brickmariobros oh, true! I meant “regular US” seasons, but I get what you mean as well. I didn’t even think of your point!
Though I'm not a huge fan of Jaymes (no shade whatsoever ... I'm just one of those queerdos in the Jimbo clown car lol), I would absolutely not be mad at that whatsoever! I love a good comeback story!
Tbf, Kahanna Montrese was second out on S11 and therefore instantly forgotten (like most second outs tend to be), and Naysha was also first out on S8 but brought back (for some reason I don't remember lol) just to be re-eliminated. But I'm with you here - Jaymes going from first out to first place would be iconic! I'm here for the comedy, the fashion, the drama, all of it. May 12 cannot arrive fast enough!
The Alexis Michelle discussion launching Frankie straight into the zoomies is everything. He really leaped off that cat tree behind you 😂
Nah I’m literally 10 minutes in and only just realised they’re not just on a call they’re actually sat next to each other I stg I thought that god damn corner of the wall in the background was where one camera view cut to the other’s camera view💀
I’m excited for Jaymes and Monica, their eliminations were so sad. I actually think this is a great time for Monica. For better or for worse, she’s best remembered for having an emotional breakdown, coming out on the runway, and being eliminated the very next episode. For the longest time, it was rumored that she was blacklisted because she’s one of the girls who’s criticized RuPaul and the show publicly for their past treatment of trans queens. She’s been very outspoken about politics and trans rights. What an opportune moment to bring her back while all this stuff is going on. I hope she gets to speak her mind and most importantly, that she finally has a good time on Drag Race.
I absolutely love the Mera Mangled call out! You 2 are my fav drag race content creators
I moved from SF to Rochester last year! I live for Kasha, she is kind and talented and so fantastic. A lot of us here in Rochester are very excited.
There are a lot of top three/four potential queens here. No one should be complaining about this cast.
Ngl i can see all of these queens making it to the top 4 under some circumstance, this is gonna be one hell of a season to watch
That’s insane because I haven’t been this excited about an All Stars cast since AS2.
i want mystique and nicole back. haven’t seen much of mystique tbh but i seen nicole’s cameos and stuff and she is HILARIOUS.
Nicole Paige Brooks?
@@SeychelleSunshine ya
@@SeychelleSunshine from Atlanta georgia
This is such a great cast. Jimbo, Heidi, Lala and then either Jaymes, Alexis or Mrs Kasha Davis are my top 4.
Jaymes and Heidi for me please, love love love them!
Monica isn't second out : before her and Serena was Penny Tration x) but I kinda get why she is forgotten, because it's one of the rare cases where the 2nd out is more iconic than the 1st out.
I dont get the backlash! This is a very diverse cast of queens! Im excited for the drama they will bring ❤
Boudoir colors seem to be popular this season. Has anyone seen Jimbo’s video parody of the song “Video Killed the Radio Star” ? Genius!
I can't wait for this season! It's a pleasure to hear and watch you two talking 😊 you're so kind and fun!❤
I thought you were in separate rooms/on a zoom call until 7:30 when you looked behind at the same time 😂
People are never happy, they need to relax and enjoy the season. AS6 was amazing, and AS8 is giving the same energy. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance!
love this duo and your excitement for the cast!! i think you really made me realize how strong a lot of these people are, i can't pick a top 4
I was pretty meh about this lineup at first, but after letting it sit for a week and watching this video, I'm really excited for this season. I don't know what I was necessarily expecting to follow the all winner's season, but when y'all made the comparison to as6, I realized just how into it I am
35:41 quick correction, it was Honey Mahogany and Vivienne Pinay who were the double elimination, NOT Lynesha Sparks
I am so excited to see earlier iuts and queens from other seasons!! The bring so much to show that has been missing with the newer seasons. Im so excited for this season!!
Gurl, you're doing a video with your brother and no one can convince me otherwise 😂
I thought all the queens really brought it for the promo shoot, but Jimbo's was in a league by itself. It was everything!
yay! love your analysis ♥
Loved your excitement for this season.
My top 4 faves: Jessica Wild, Jaymes Mansfield, Heidi N Closet, Darienne Lake
I think the Top 4 is likely to be: Kandy, Heidi, Jimbo, Alexis
I had the incredible pleasure of seeing Ales Michelle and Darienne Lake perform today. They were both amazing! Can’t wait for this season!! 🤩💜
I swear it's just newer fans who never watched the old seasons, which is exactly why they should be bringing back queens from earlier seasons!
The way I’m extreme rooting for MBH I was thinking about her like literally the same week as cast was announced so when she walked through that door my life was made my depression was cured my transition was paid for she is The Moment to me
yeah me too.. how we feeling now? :(
@@rinisonline4312 🫡😭
This cast is stacked. Im sooo excited!
15:54 - The secret tea of Kandy hitting your DMs… period
I literally did not realize they were in the same room until one of them leaned over. I thought the corner of the wall was like where the screens split like a dumbass 😂
You're not the only one 😂
No but its the way how i cant believe that we're gonna have to see one of these queens be first out, i just really want all of these queens get to redeem themselves duuude.
I really enjoy these longer vids you’ve been doing! Perfect for listening while I’m cooking or cleaning ✨❤️
That "oop" at 4:19 was the first thing to make me laugh in weeks
Do you know that moment when you chat with your grind hookup before actually hooking up? That's what this video gives and Im here for it
(Please read this with hilarious Ross Matthew's voice)
Omg I loved this collab!!!!! Excellent work!!! Keep
It up, y’all!
So excited for this season! I love letting ALL the queens shine❤ also you two should make more video collabs because there are some goofy goober shenanigans up in here
y’all got chemistry and i’m not just talking about on-set
Everyone on Season 6 is memorable, even Magnolia “exposure” Crawford!
Okay but I was not so surprised to see Monica Beverly Hillz, she is really iconic to me. Her moments in Untucked, especially with Serena ChaCha, very memorable
When they were talking about iconic Alexis Michelle moments, I thought they were gonna say, “Well Tamar, have you watched the show?” 😂
I am so excited for Jimbo. Her being on this season will make up for Kandy for me. I love the rest of this cast!
My icon!! Thank you for your service as usual
it's a bit unfair for the fan voting, especially when it seems like it'll be Jimbo no matter what. the cast is really great, but i also just wish that if they were going to do an international girl on the USA all stars, that they would atleast pick somebody who hasn't had a chance yet
i am so excited for monica, i don’t care how well she does. it’s just great to have her back
I'm betting on Jimbo making it to the end with the most wins but idk if she can win the crown if she loses every lip sync like I'm kind of expecting her to. Every AS winner we've had won at least one lip sync and 4 of them won all their lips syncs.
Maybe she could take the win Trixie style but it'd have to be against someone with a much worse track record so it'd be a no-brainer to crown her.
Trixie never won a lipsync.
@@notanobviouschoice Trxie won her crowning lip sync, which by defintion is a lip sync win. Just like that was her only win, the same could be applied to Jimbo.
@@khntou4178 she absolutely fucking did not beat Kennedy m f davenport in a lipsync. She won because out of the 2 of them she was the more desireable winner. Kennedy ripped her to shreds
@@notanobviouschoice Yeah, I think Kennedy arguably won that lip sync and production likely edited her down so Trixie would win. However, I'm just stating based on the show, together with its format and rigging. You can argue that finale lip syncs are a different category, but by pure definition, that itself was a lip sync. I don't agree that Trixie lost her lip sync to Pearl, but due to the show's rigging and how lip syncs are defined, her only lip sync win officially is against Kennedy.
@@khntou4178 I agree with the Pearl one but Kennedy beat her in the finale but as Trixie performed better out of the two in the competition she deserved it more
I'm so happy to see some of the Queen's we haven't seen in good like Darien lake
We need the after party of this video.. haha
You're chemistry were on spot. ☺️☺️
ok im sorry but i love u as this chaotic messy duo lmao
also the cast: aaaAAAHHHh
How did y’all forget about Alexis’ “Have you watched the show Tamar?!”
Love the beards! And your stache looks sooo
Now with kahana the glow up is real. Heidi glew up and kahana glew TF UP
Heard the Rock M. Sakura was originally supposed to be on AS8, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the Queens from the order seasons (Jessica Wild) was probably a replacement. Regardless, I'm happy with who we got!!!!
No way it was Jessica. The reason she was a lipsync assassin was to pitch her to the fans. People reacted well to her and were happy she was back, and boom
It wasn't Jessica. I can't remember who it was now but it's on the subreddit for spoilers
I would love to see Rock on AS!
@@lisamac1986 I forget who, but I don't think Rock M was on the first cast. She may have been passed over for another queen. Matt the drag tea guy said Tatiana, Adore, and Plastique were originally on the first lineup but later dropped out. I haven't heard about Rock being on the initial roster til this comment
Thank you for the excellent video, per usual! I love your content and analyses so much! I just have one (silly) question: Are you two twins??? I swear I thought you just had a mirror there for a second until the conversation began, lol. The resemblance is uncanny and your vibes together are amazing! (Apologies if this a repeat of a comment already posted ... I have time for your videos but not 400+ comments, haha) Thanks again for a stellar breakdown! xoxo
It was literally said on All Stars 3, that All Stars is about redemption, not being a fan favorite, or top 6.
It took me 3 minutes to realise this is not a split screen.
This cast may be my favorite as cast ever. What a pleasant mix of queen i am team everyone!
You know what I love about your videos? Is that you are really positive when you give your constructive opinions, keep going! 💙
I 100% know the secret T u spilt about Kandy… I’ve seen them.
well??
@@normalizenatalie before S13 aired Kandy’s…. Chicken photos were leaked. Grass fed chicken let me tell you
@@FlimsyPickles do you mean dick pics?
for more than 5 minutes i thought this was a split screen and yall were filming in two different places lmaooo 😂
My ideal top 4 would be:
Jimbo, Alexis, Heidi and Jessica. I also really like Jaymes. I value talent over drama. I don't care about good TV. Give me good Drag!
This is my favorite cast of all stars 100% so many of my favorites and all of them are so iconic.
I'm the most excited about Darienne 100% ❤
i'm pretty sure the "secret tea" was about Kandy's leaked photos 😂😂
Exactly my thought 😂
this was a great collab u guys ❤
People complain they're not all-stars and then complain about Jimbo being casted. With AS6, I don't understand the contreversy, especially with most of these early queens having a great career outside of the show (Jaymes, Kahanna...) and I love they emphasized on this in the meet the queens! I love this cast, but like AS6 early eliminations will hurt, because I think every queen on this cast has a lot to show.
When yall talked about Alexis' most iconic moment I thought it was "Tamar, have you watched the show?" But then you named two different ones lol
Derek I need you to start a Survivor channel called the Tribe Detective! Love your videos ❤❤❤
I love this whole cast so much I'll be so sad seeing them go home 😢😢
