Wait! Let me guess! Kandy Muse gets Amanda, Jimbo gets Angie, and Jessica Wilde gets Lisa from Helen, Georgia, who works at a non-profit organization.

Not a great season for talent, challenges, or fashion content.  Followed by a boring and hollow feeling finale.

My big takeaway is that the Fame Games need a re-write.  I get that the contestants were posting their looks online, so the show took advantage of that to get more engagement on social media.  However, the voting never made sense.  

  1. The show was taped months ago, so it never seemed like votes would actually matter.
  2. How were we supposed to compare the fact that Monica Beverly Hills showed ten looks and Alexis Michelle only showed two looks?  Was it cumulative or only based on their final look?
  3. Multiplying the votes was such an obvious production ploy that it alienated the online audience.

I am happy for the LaLaRi redemption arc, and I hope it furthers their career, but if they try this again there has to be clearer expectations for the game.

One positive note, production seems to have fixed the sound mixing in the finale songs.  In the past few seasons, I could not hear or understand the lyrics because the background music was too loud, and the direction was confusing.  At least in Jimbo's song they focused the camera on her face, and turned up the volume on the singer, so we could see what she was trying to express.  As a result, I've had I Remember Being Born stuck in my head all weekend.

Yes, the Fame Games set up was odd and La La scoring that 3x bonus made the whole thing  a hollow victory.

Still shaking my head seeing Kandy in the final and Ru twice stating she is KM's biggest fan-I have to ask WHY??? and I can't come up with any answers.

Seeing some of the beautiful gowns/looks in the finale runway and then Kandy coming out in the ill fitting basic yellow get up and having Ross swoon was beyond.

And then the lipsync reveal-a bodysuit! Haven't seen that look before,Kandy...

The best thing about the season was Jessica Wild back in the spotlight. I never caught S2 so she was all new to me.

Ah yes, Jessica Wild will live on forever thanks to her brilliant monologue in the Forensic Queens challenge.

"She found her ETB Card, and on a Taco Tuesday, she never left the card because she loved to celebrate Taco Tuesday. She liked the soft shell, with carne asada. That's her favorite, with guacamole. And guacamole's expensive, so she's not gonna leave without her card… that was weird, for me."

I was on Team Jessica Wild all the way. RuPaul's Drag Race needs to get their sh*t together, and the producers on this show need to realize that we're catching on very easily. What was the point of the Fame Games when it catered individuals? I have no beef with Lala Ri at all, as I love all of them, but this season of All-Stars 8 was totally rigamorous.

I thought the right winner won - Jimbo put in the WORK, was funny/wild/creative/interesting...  he deserved it 100%.  

I do agree the Fame Games was not well-thought out and very sus.

Something's up with Ru. She doesn't look the same Ru in her expressions, the energy is lacking and the eyes are empty, like she is forcing herself to smile. I agree that this is the worst premiere episode. It just felt... boring and stale.

    • Some of those 1988-ish episodes are up. I'm not really sure she did much else. I think I recall something along the lines of she and Rusty had been suspended over the investigation of Nicky, George's supplier. I'm not sure she even gets some kind of goodbye. I think she just disappeared when Pam Long returned.
    • I did not care, just clarifying that was the discussion point. If there are ice cream bars in Statesville I am sure there is a full spa
    • Seeing Peter Bergman (Jack) and Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) act opposite each other really makes me mad that their short-lived reunion in 2012 was just that... short-lived. I've always loved the Jack/Nikki pairing.
    • No.  I recall there was also a mention about how distracting it was EOB's Gwen wasn't wearing nail polish as well.  That it was someone's pet peeve. And, yes, the fact characters can have a manicure in prison is the wildest continuity issue here.
    • Can anyone remember Mary Ellen Stuart's run as Jenny? I'm trying to fill in the cracks for missing stuff that we overlooked.  Bulletpoints:  * Dated Ross * Rusty's police partner * Directly responsible for Dinah coming forward about George Stewart (Cam's father)
    • But that's not weird... nail polish is allowed in prisons via commissary. Same with general makeup, haircuts, and hair colouring products.
    • This is DAYS, the show that said you could brainwash anyone with simple kitchen appliances.  An actor's nail polish or lack thereof should be the least of our concerns, lol.
    • It was not that she wasn't wearing nail polish, it is that she managed to get a manicure in prison
    • "We're Knot Done Yet": the name of this lovely podcast AND what JVA tells her plastic surgeon at every appointment. In other news, Michele Lee is reminding me more and more of my old music teacher from elementary school, and I couldn't STAND that bitch.
    • I apologize if this has been covered already, but does anyone know whether Douglas Marland was HW'ing by that point?  If he was, then I see what he meant when he said (in so many words) that he had inherited a mess when he started at GH.  Aside from Alan and Monica, none of that material seems very promising.  The story with Mark Dante and the Corbins is the wrong kind of predictable (y'know, the kind where you know what's going to happen, but you just don't give a crap?), the stuff with Scotty and Laura is cute but toothless, I don't know WHAT the hell Gina and Steve Carlson's character are arguing about and Rick Webber has to be the dumbest man alive not to see David Hamilton twirling his invisible moustache over how to make a killing off Lamont Corbin's declining health.  (By the way, "LAMONT CORBIN"?  What is this, "The Shadow"?  And "Corbin Limited" sounds like some jive I'd hear over on Y&R.) In a way, it's kind of like watching today's GH, right down to the dialogue that's serviceable and pushes plot along but says nothing about the characters' inner lives.
