Were back, baby!
Early Thursday morning, the double premiere ofAll Starsarrived with little fanfare at 3 a.m. )the veritable catalogue of termstheDrag Racesocial-media manager has so thoughtfully compiled for us.
Lets hear it for the streaming era, yall!!!
But enough shop talk, lets dive into what weve all been waiting for: this supersized episode drop.
I must admit that this first episode left me feeling quite … uneasy.
(RaJah OHara sewing AND changing into a sleeveless midi dress in under 60 seconds?
Nowthatis talent, bitch.)
The judges live, I live, Ginger Minj is confused.
What more could you want?
With the Extravaganza complete, its time for some judges critiques.
(Hopefully this encourages future All Stars to take a risk.)
You have to feel bad for Trinity.
She comes into this season self-possessed and confident, a welcome evolution from her insecure season-six persona.
When it comes to the lip-sync assassin, Im thrilled to see Coco Montrese appear from behind the scrim.
The queens lip-sync to Uptown Funk for whatever reason, and Ru declares Coco the winner.
Post-episode one, I couldnt help but feel somewhat disappointed.
An overly produced, paint-by-numbers talent show left me with a sour taste in my mouth.
Early in the episode, we establish that Jiggly will once again be in deep trouble.
While Jiggly seems fated to repeat past mistakes, however, RaJah is determined to learn from hers.
This season seems to be deeply invested in RaJahs redemption narrative, and Im not mad about it!
On the runway, the caliber of looks is HIGH.
But the undisputed grand prize of the night has got to go to RaJah.
And, BOY, does she hold her own.
So, what do we make of this season ofAll Stars?
Not good, besties.
