*LOVE* this show! Been watching since Season 2 (love me some Jujubee!)

Me and my partner cracked up watching this week's show, because it was so obvious that Ru intentionally chose Coco to be up for elimination against Alyssa just to make one final stand-off between the two battling divas. It was clear by the judges' comments that Detox should've been the other lady up for elimination. I think it was Alyssa's time to go, but I did enjoy her a lot. She makes a beautiful woman; outside of drag, he makes for a lot of drama.

I saw Alyssa Edwards live a few weeks back and she was a brilliant live performer. Her lipsyncs on the show have been good, but in person she really puts on a hell of a show. Where I live we have a weekly RuPaul show every Thursday with one or two of the girls from the show performing. Stacey Layne Matthews lives in San Antonio so she's included weekly as well. I haven't been going often, but I plan on being there for Jinkx next week and I'm going to try for Alaska later in the month.

As for the actual show, I think overall the talent is very strong this season. Last season you could immediately tell the top 3-4, but this season I do think many of the queens could've been there. Right now I do think Roxxxy is overpraised and I don't get Detox. I also never liked Raven and since they're similar that could be why. Coco is disappointing because I feel she's the total package, but she always ends up screwing up somehow. Overall they're all very strong (including Alyssa) so it's little things I find myself nit-picking, which is a good problem to have.

I wonder how the next All Stars will be as well. I'd like them to do themed seasons. A plus-size season would be a classic.

I agree about Coco.

I think she has it in her, but she always sabotages herself with self-doubt/oversensitivity.

Oh, I didn't know Stacy Layne (Bryant) Matthews lived in San Antonio. I guess she needed to get the hell outta Back Swamp. LOL.

I do agree that this season has a lot of strong contenders whereas last year they were mostly misfits, even for the drag world!

I like Coco, but something about most of his drag looks make him look like an old woman. Last night, I thought he looked like he could be Jasmine Guy's mother!

I'm not a big fan of Detox overall and ITA that Roxxxy is way overrated. He's had some BAD looks some weeks, and I think his lil breakdown a few weeks back definitely saved his butt from getting the boot at elimination.

For top contenders, I think I'd have to go with the 2 funny girls/non-pageant queens, Alaska and Jinkx Monsoon.

Since day one, Alaska has reminded me of a cross between Mackenzie Phillips (One Day At A Time drug addict) and Johnny Wier (flamboyant iceskater). Whaddya think? :)

Alaska and Jinkx have the most C.U.N.T, I agree. smile.png

Roxxxy is totally overrated and she thinks way too highly of herself. The judges seem to love her, though. I like Detox OK, but yeah - she's been a bit disappointing.

I think the top 3 will be Roxxxy, Jinkx and Alaska. Coco will be the next to Sashay Away.

I love this show and watch every week with my boyfriend, but man there are some things that are pissing me off.

1. Thank god Alyssa went home this week, as I'm tired of hearing about that stupid pageant [!@#$%^&*] between her and Coco...I actually would've preferred Coco's tired ass went home.

2. I am SO OVER the sob stories every week now..I've been rewatching season 2 lately and it's like a breath of fresh air without the tears every damn week. Roxxy literally saved her ass by crying. I'm ready for that overly confident bitch to go home too.

    • Welcome back, Will and Eric!  They were both used so well today. I’m so glad that they’re going to be here for Marlena and everybody. She definitely needs them. And I love that we got a flashback of Will and John, and that Will credits him as the reason that he’s so courageous. Hopefully, he has scenes with Arianna coming up, and possibly Doug III. I think there’s a storyline there, especially considering what Will said about her being so stubborn and also a little similar to John. Btw, even though Chandler Massey is technically old enough to have an 18 year old child, he definitely doesn’t look it lol  And we got a Will and Paul reunion too. It really is too bad that we can’t get them full time. There’s still so much drama that can be mined from the two of them, and their relationships with Sonny and Andrew, especially now. But with Leo still slithering around, I guess it’s for the best that we’re not getting that

        And I love that Will was there for Johnny too. We never really got to see their relationship on screen and I’m glad that we got some of it today. I wish their scenes had been a little longer though. There’s a lot more that they need to discuss about EJ and the rape. But I like that Will comforted him about whether or not he was worthy of having John’s name. And that Marlena was able to shrink him about leaving EJ in the square after he fell.  Eric’s reunion with everybody was really sweet too. I loved the dorky family moment Belle is still being a total douche but I like the drama of her storyline. And I do think that she isn’t being completely stupid, when it comes to EJ. I’m glad that she has Brady though, who was also used very well today. He was breaking my heart in the scene where he was at John’s bedside.  And, congratulations EJ. I think lol  But I have to say, all this talk about John’s miraculous recovery is a little tough to here And, the final scene with John and Marlena
    • Reva should have had a stroke...leaving her permanently MUTE.  Not able to utter a single sound, not even the slightest blubber or gurgle.

       And shakin’ me up so, that all I really know is here you come again… and here I go  Enjoy, @Soapsuds
    • I'm still hoping that Leslie turns out to be Sharon's daughter. As I think it could bring another dynamic to the show and the Duprees eventually will need a rival family.

      I said Dorian Harewood on Twitter would be good for Dante Green too.

    • Could Nikki just be a big Gram Parsons fan? I think it works for Julie, but they should be doing better by Traci - none of this, from hair to wardrobe, is flattering.
    • To be fair, I don't think she was written out as much as not being written for as they had to gear up for the final episode. I'd assume they might've had the option to use her again but they just didn't find the space.
    • Seems Traci and Julie on Days are both shopping at 'Granny's Garments'. You just can't go wrong with a loose print long line jacket (hides those figure faults, gals), a comfy pair of slacks, a scoop neck T and some chunky accent jewelry. And don't forget your crowning glory-a wash 'n' go hair do.
