Fun fact for you guys. LaLa Ri is actually my ex boyfriend. We dated during most of the pandemic and when he went to film drag race we didn’t get to talk for a whole month. They did have me record a video for him for Untucked but he got sent home before the message was ever used. We’re still good friends so we kiki about All Stars every week.

That's cool to hear, @Antoyne. Any good gossip on LaLa Ri and Alexis Michelle? Or, was that simply television flirtatation encouraged by production?

I root for Tyra to succeed, but she doesn't make it easy. RuPaul was right to go against the producer's and sponsor's wishes and crown her instead of Raven, but beyond the abuse and mistreatment she's suffered at the hands of the fandom and World of Wonder, her personal issues are still bringing her down. Her latest comeback seemed like she finally figured it out. Too bad, maybe one day.

I don't know who to root for, but I think production is pushing for Jimbo. All Stars this season has been weird. I'm pretty cool as I don't dislike anyone on Drag Race, but it's blantantly obvious they favor Jimbo. Way too many improv and acting challenges and Jimbo tends to excel in those categories. I like Jessica Wild and I tend to gravitate towards queens who are kooky weird.

Actually, Jimbo is kookie too, but it feels like they're pushing for her to win while Kandy Muse and Jessica Wild are the "Rajas" who have already "done had herses" and received 30K each. I guess it's a way for the producers to say: "Thank you so much for your time, so here's $30,000 to make up for it." 

And now there's Twitter drama between Heidi n' Closet and Kahanna Montrese. I swear it's so hard to follow up with what they'e really fighting about. And Drag Race fans are eating it up.

My top 3 in order of who I'm rooting for is 1) Jessica Wild 2) Jimbo 3) LaLa Ri ... This season was always Jimbo's to lose, but with her being unable to ever lip-synch efficiently, I believe Kandy Muse will end up winning. Her and Jimbo are certainly Ru's favourites.

    • These contract guarantees of 1 ep per month are ridiculous. How can you even have a story if your character apprars 4-5 times in a month? It's sad.
    • It's hard to tell with some actors appearing on average 4 times in a month whether they're recurring or just on a low guarantee contract. Someone recurring  like Beth Maitland can be used a lot for several months then disappear. So the monthly tallies aren't enough to go by.
    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
