Kandy Muse is definitely favored. The judges always praise her to the heavens.

Jimbo is a clear winner to me, apart from the Lip synch fails. A part of me wonders if he deliberately sabotages them so as not to have to eliminate anyone and draw the wrath of the fandom and the other girls. His tearful frustration bit about not winning lip synchs seemed a little fake to me as Jimbo doesn't seem to invest in that Ru psycho babble stuff.

Kandy voting off Jaymes was strategy as Kahanna is obviously weaker and was pretty much out the door the previous week.

Kandy did well in the Rusical but got the killer number. I would have liked Jaymes to stay although his Joan was disappointing (why the baby voice?) and the Grace Jones runway was frumpy.

Kahanna did well in the Rusical but there was nothing about her performance that suggested Joan Crawford. And her Grace Jones was the same.

So Jimbo for the win.

Grrrr....

Kandy has the worst critiques in the improv challenge-as Michelle points out-she just plays Kandy, as she did in Snatch Game and a mediocre runway but Ru says she makes her laugh so she's safe.

Thought Alexis wasn't destined for the chop based on the Kahanna redemtion arc, but La La showed class by voting her out.

If Kandy was particularly witty or offbeat, maybe I would get it, but for me there's little appeal.

Loved Ru's 'spontaneous' arrival on set (in full makeup and costume) to school the queens. Because of course he's in his trailer monitoring the goings on full time. They even showed a shot of the camera people to push that it was totally unplannned.

And the improv challenge was better edited and more polished than the scripted challenges.

Top 3 Jimbo, Kandy and La La.

Wow. I don't know what to say about Alexis Michelle. What a two-faced cu-t. Sorry for the language, but that was not a strategic plan. At this point in the game, you gotta go with who you think is a threat to you winning $200,000. Kandy did her check and mate with Jaymes, but now it seems that the chickens are coming home to roost for next week's preview.

You know what? Be true to yourself, but don't tell someone that you have their back and then give them the chop immediately afterward. So scabie-infested skeezy.

It's becoming a little silly that the Pit Stop is almost as long as the show itself.

I also genuinely gasped at this week's outcome.  It didn't seem strategic, because Kandy has a better chance at winning than LaLa.  I thought LaLa did better at the challenge, and it was redemptive to see her put together a gown in a sewing challenge after her infamous bag dress.

I agree with Alaska that the queens voting each other off of All Stars is bad for the franchise.  It alienates the already rabid fanbase.  It damages the careers of more strategic players, and I would imagine, it reduces the number of queens willing to return, spend a ton of money, and destroy their reputation.   I preferred the star rating system of the last all-stars season, as it was more cordial and focused on their strengths.

I love the Pit Stop. I always find it entertaining and getting to hear the queens sassy-ass mouths and get updates on what they're currently doing. With Bianca Del Rio, I think what she's doing is strategic as I hear she may be a contender for RuPaul's Drag Race: All Winners season. I think her hosting the Pit Stop may be an opportunity for Drag Race fans to see a "softer" side of her instead of the notorious insult comic that she is. However, I've heard some more rumors too about Bianca's willingness to go on Drag Race if "certain requests were made". I'll leave it there.

But yeah, so far, Valentina and Mistress Isabelle Brooks have been an absolute riot. I'd actually like to see Sasha Colby be a guest of the Pit Stop for the All Stars finale. The more I'm thinking about Alexis Michelle, the more I'm beginning to think that what she's trying to do is make good television. I still like her, but there's this part of me that cannot stand two-faced people. I watched Untucked after I posted my "fury" post on here, and then I had to re-examine things. I think Alexis Michelle wants an Emmy. Being a theater queen, I think it's more important to her than the individual $200,000 prize itself, but she also cares about how's she's interpreted by the crazy Drag Race fandom.

It should be interesting. I believe Alexis Michelle and Lala Ri are going to be the special guests for the Roscoe's Viewing Party in Chicago next week. Usually (not all the time), their special guests have either won or lost the maxi challenge (and sent home) for that week. 

Heidi N' Closet and Kahanna Montrese have made up after their silly on-line Twitter feud as she was a special guest at Roscoe's last night. Heidi also talks about why she left and if she were to return for a Canada vs. The World or a U.K. vs. The World opportunity. Her special guest appearance was funny though as she was eating hot chicken tenders and a little piece of the chicken went through the wide gap of her teeth and it landed on Batty Davis, lol! I can't remember if it was actually her face or dress.

What's done is done and La La is gone. 

If Alexis had been less dramatic over being saved the week before the'betrayal' wouldn't have been so controversial.

Once again Kandy is saved. Her dress was super basic and ill fitting  but she got praised (of course) for such a valiant effort, considering she was not a seamstress.

Jimbo was as amusing as ever and Jessica impresses(but not enough to win)

That episode had more filler than Kahanna's face.

    • I agree. For now. I am sure in a year's time...a new family (or old) will start to appear on the show. 
    • There's some irony in Philip being forgiven, because it forces everyone to admit that Victor was wrong to change his will.  Everyone, eventually including Xander, (I presume), seems to think it was wrong for Victor to divide his estate in Xander's favor.  I appreciated Stephanie forgiving Philip, because she's got no skin in that game.  But, Belle's line about Philip missing Xander because he misses Bo did not ring true.  I think Philip would be sad if Bo dies, but I think he's more concerned currently about Xander. I am enjoying this EJ mystery so much that I am hereby taking a vow not to read spoilers.  I am also vowing — for the last time — to stop harping on this, but: the concept of a “sepsis treatment” remains absurd. Hospitals prevent sepsis through vigilant infection control; once sepsis sets in, it causes multiple organ failures. Treatment involves supporting each failing organ individually. The notion that a single medication could magically reverse organ failure is medically laughable. However, I like the contrast of Kim going through cancer, which is incurable in their universe.  Kayla's comment on the health of both of her siblings was both heartbreaking and an interesting twist.  MBE is also totally underrated.  She is carrying the weight of so many stories.   And, I like the use of Kayla as an audience surrogate.  She's arguably the most "real" person in Salem. Kayla isn't psychic, she wasn't SORASed, she's not a billionaire, and she doesn't have a bionic eye.  So, I enjoy that we get her perspective of the nuttiness that surrounds her. However, I don't get what gives her the authority to turn down EJ's offer.  I understand that they need a hospital figurehead to show us scenes of the competition to buy the hospital.  But, unless the entire administration has been let go, the Chief of Staff wouldn't make those choices.
    • But why worry about something that might not happen? Right now, most things revolve around the Duprees. We have no idea if or how long that will continue. For now, it's working.
    • The Duprees not having any staff is a bugbear for me. They've included the background staff at the Country Club but no one at the Dupree home. Even just an extra bringing in a tray of food/drinks or responding to a request from Anita would suffice.
    • Shut up, Dante and Lois.  I actually don't mind this particular soap trope, but in the context of this storyline, it just feels forced and unnecessary. If anything, this Dante/Gio tension needed to begin months ago. Plus, this storyline, in general, isn't doing Lois any favors either.  Emma comforting Gio was really sweet though. It's definitely time for the two of them to have their first kiss. And, Joss playing Secret Agent Barbie will just never work.
    • Note to makeup - Smitty’s eyebrows, bad clamshell look.

    • Okay I can buy that when Brook Lynn was a teen.  Now she knows the child is a boy one would think she'd be slightly suspicious.  Then again, Gio looks nothing like either of them so maybe not lol.
    • I've been behind & just got caught up & the last 3 days were amazing!
