Drag Race All-Stars Recap: Comic Book Controversy


I thought we might be cheated out of runway, but we’re not.  Thank goodness.  I wanted to get to see each queen up close.

First up is Chad.

By day, she is an esthetician.

 By night, she is FIRECROTCH!  Tightener of vaginal walls!

From Nipple Junction, TN, Shannel is a mammographer by day.

By night, she is LACTASIA, shooting death rays from her breats!

 By day, she is a beauty consultant who became tan when shot to Earth.

By night, she is MELANINA!  Bringing a bronze glow to every human!

By day, she is a fashion photographer who lost all skin pigment when shot to Earth.

By night, she is SO.FIA FIERCE, throwing shade wherever she goes!

Elvira loved Shad’s story, but Michelle was confused.  Elvira wants to steal Raven’s look and Michelle couldn’t get enough of Raven.  Michelle thinks Juju is so Marvel.  Wendy wants to see more flesh from Juju and Elvira thought she played too safe.  Michelle loved Rujubee and thought they were very comic book while Shad was more cartoon.  No one was impressed by Juju’s look but Michelle. 

Michelle felt Shannel was too S&M porno and their story was so crazy.  Elvira loves the perviness of the Shad story.  Wendy is hilarious her analysis of the teams – Rujubee would have the best storyline for a movie, but merchandising would be lucrative with Firecrotch and Lactasia. 

Ru refers to all four of the girls being her legendary children.  Then, she drops the biggest bomb ever…

 Team Shad is the winna’.

Now, don’t get me wrong.  I wouldn’t throw a hissy if Chad was given the crown, but I don’t want to see Raven or Juju go home.  Just between you and me, though, I’ll cry if Juju goes home tonight.

The girls LSFYL to “Dancing on My Own” by Robyn.  Both girls are incredibly emotional and crying over having to go against one another. 

 This almost brought me to tears.

Looks like I’m not the only one.  The entire panel is in tears.  There was no dancing.  This was one emotional lip sync.  Don’t send them home, Ru!!!  Nooooo! 

Juju has a panic attack and Raven goes to help her out.  Ru has to wait for them to compose themselves for a while before she can announce her decision.  They both stay!!!!!!   Even Chad is elated, screaming cheers in the background!  I just have to say that if that LSYFL didn’t just reveal Raven and Juju’s true love for one another, then I don’t know anything.

Hi, there!  About me...well, let's see.  I like to think of myself as an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, shrouded in a mystery.  Sometimes my personality doesn't even reconcile in my own head.  I'm a really caring and sensitive person, but I have a dark, dry, sarcastic sense of humor which tends gives the impression that I have no soul.  I am married to a great guy who shares my sense of humor and we have a son who, both fortunately and unfortunately, has his mother's personality.   I'm an independent contractor who works from home and keeps the kid all day, everyday.  I've loved to write my whole life and have big, never-to-be-achieved dreams of one day writing a book.  My favorite past time is laughing, which is what brought me to this site.  I can laugh at almost anything, so beware.

    I won’t lie, I was shedding a tear with that lip sync. Plus I go to the local gay bar and watch it and there were hardly any dry eyes in the crowd. Can’t believe how emotional that was. Then Juju with all the little quips about product placement and wanting fried chicken had me laughing my ass off. I was all about Chad but seeing as how shady and jaded she has become, I don’t want to see her win. And letsbehonest, Shannel has ABSOLUTELY no shot at winning in comparison to the other three. I’m definitely team Juju. While its almost impossible to pick between her and Raven, for some reason I’m leaning towards Juju. But I can be happy with either of them winning.

    I don’t know how or where or when it happened but last night I realized the unthinkable: I’ve become a staunch Raven fan. And I think Raven and Jujubee were hands down better than Chad and Shannel. No, it wasn’t as draggy as them but it was very comic book. More accessories is probably the dumbest critique I’ve ever heard.

    Still, I don’t think Chad/Shannel could have pulled off that lip synch and since they’re all still there, I don’t mind Rujubee having to lip synch. I’d have been hissing mad, though, if either did go home after that.

    Halleloo … Vallegirl is a FINALLY convert of Ravenism. heh

    Oh my … I was quite overcome with the essence of what team Rujubee was serving last night. That LSFYL was the most beautiful, sad and glorious one I have ever seen. Sisterhood at it’s most basic. I believe deep down inside that Raven is a big old soft hearted soul. She’s just a strong woman and a loyal friend.

    I watched the Elimination lunch with Michelle Visage on NNN and both Raven and Jujubee were on the speecast. It was hilarious and endearing. Jujubee was showing off her cat and Raven had her puppy … fans kept popping up on the video chat with their fur-babies. Too cute!

    Last night’s episode was amazing. I don’t want it to end. I would watch the remaining 4 all day, every day. As long as Shannel used a tad more restraint with her verbosity.

    Also … can’t wait for January and the 5th season! So …. who is recapping season V? heh

    I am hoping Juju wins it. I just adore her and her attitude. Plus she serves real fish. I would walk by her in her pretty drag and think it was a real woman.

    The best puerto rican queen is such a three way tie for me with Jessica Wild, Alexis Mateo and Yara. I love the three of them so much. Jessica is the prettiest though. She is on my facebook and I get blown away by how much prettier he is than me every time he posts something, Damn him!
    Great recap. I agree with everything you said.

    That LSFYL was absolutely crazy! Those girls were a mess. I’m glad Ru decided they all could stay. I too WAS a huge Chad fan, but not so much after All-Stars. I wonder why? See I was never a big fan of JuJubee, but NOW I love her to death! Could it be all in the way they edit our girls?

    I will be happy no matter who wins. It was a fun season, but way too short. I wasn’t happy with the pairing up. Some of the best didn’t have a chance to shine. My girl Alexis, didn’t make it to the end, but that’s okay, we haven’t seen the end of her, that’s for sure.

    I thought the best Puerto Rican drag queen was Rosario Dawson.

    I am surprised by Chad this season.
    In her season, she was this….empathetic pillar of classiness and this season, she’s kind of a bitch.
    I still like her and I still see the Chad from Season 4, like when she cheered for everyone getting to stay and when she genuinely wished Juju a nice phonecall with her fiance, but yeah, she’s definitely not the same.
    And it’s hard to say if this is how she has always been and editing cleaned her up some or if she’s this way now because she knows that people think she’s the shit.
    Also, her insistence that RPDR is The Hunger Games in disguise is kind of amusing. Like…she does know that nobody actually dies in this game, right?

    As soon as Ru declared Shad the winner, I started bawling. That whole lipsync was just so heartbreaking and painful, and then it was really upsetting to think that either Juju or Raven would be gone.
    Truth be told, I’d rather Raven stay over Juju just because Raven is my everything, but this whole thing would legitimately not be any fun without Juju. Bitch is a national treasure.
    But I did understand what the judges were saying about her outfits. A bright pair of boots, cuffs, and a utility belt would have saved her.
    But Shad didn’t deserve to win….they didn’t look that good and their story was stupid.

    I’m glad that Ru made the right decision in the end though, and can’t wait for the finale.
    My hope is that Raven wins, Juju is second (again), Chad is third, and Shannel falls off a cliff.

    Holy LSFYL Batman! Are you kidding me? That was so intense and amazing. Even in Untucked, Raven and JuJu were building each other up and being so heartfelt and loving towards each other. It was amazing. I was so glad they both got to stay. I think if team Shad had done it, Shannel would have for sure gone home. I loved Chad’s reaction to Ru saying they both got to stay. It was genuine (at least I felt it was). Shannel doesn’t have a prayer to win this. As much as I love me some Raven and Chad, I think I’ve finally settled on JuJu. She’s endlessly funny, classy and just, kind, but can certainly read a bitch. Plus, she makes a beautiful woman.
    The judges were kind of all over the place. I feel like Reno 911 and Bridesmaid’s lady (I’m too lazy to go look up her name, I don’t remember it) was hardly even a judge. She said like 2 things and that was it. It was a weird judging. As much as I don’t like her, I thought Shannel’s hair and make up for her “day-part” look was beautiful. Her super-villain was scary though.
    I’m so sad that the season is already over. Just 6 episodes? Really?? I hope Ru learns that teams is a bad bad way to go.

    One more thing. Does Elvira have jaundice?
    Maybe it was just her makeup, but the whites of her eyes looked so yellow, I was freaked out.

    I have been a raven and juju fan since their season- both beautiful funny and bitchy ladies- That LSFYL was heartbreaking! So good and it really showed how they care so much about each other. tear.

    I loved chad answer to the question about if he deserved to win over Sharon….loved his honesty …no “miss america answer” I think her deserved to win then. now, i dunno ..raven and juju are servin it….

    Dont make me choose!

    i won’t choose shanell…..girl thinks her shit don’t stink..and will tell you so!

    Well, I must be the only one that thought Firecrotch was hysterical!!! That whole presentation had me howling! Not the hugest Chad fan, but that was far and away the best of the four.

    Glad they got to stay, and they split the teams. I really couldn’t choose between Raven and Juju, but Raven’s outfit was rather scary . . . hard to be objective when she’s looking that odd.

    This season has been like empty calories . . . and now it’s almost over. I’m still reeling that Manila is not in this top group . . . I’m just sayin’

    I am not the biggest Chad Michaels fan, but when he brought up Jiggly Caliente to shut down Shannel’s shitty comic book idea made me clutch my pearls.

    It strikes me that this final four seems to genuinely all really like each other. They were a riot during the basketball game and really seemed to be having fun with each other. It’s nice to see for a change. That also leads me to one of my favorite quotes of the episode when Chad said, in regards to the bball challenge “this is like my worst nightmare, sports and day drag.” It wasn’t pretty, but it was entertaining!

    Oh, and am I the only one who thinks that Juju’s boyfriend, Chris, looks like a younger version of boy-Shannel?
