Okay, let's talk about All Stars 5, Episode 4. Specifically, the one where everyone seemed to collectively lose their minds a little bit.
The "Snatch Game of Love" That Divided Us
Snatch Game is always a highlight, right? This time, they threw a "of Love" twist in there. It was supposed to be romantic. Instead, it was... chaotic.
Some performances were diamonds. Others? Let's just say cubic zirconia on a *really* bad day.
Alexis Mateo as Walter Mercado
Okay, unpopular opinion time: I actually enjoyed Alexis Mateo's Walter Mercado. Maybe it wasn't laugh-out-loud hilarious. But it was charming!
She brought warmth and positivity. We all need more of that, right?
Shea Couleé as Flavor Flav
Everyone raved about Shea Couleé as Flavor Flav. And look, she looked amazing. The outfit? Perfection.
But I didn't find it *that* funny. Am I alone here?
She was good, but I felt like it could have been pushed further. Maybe a few more "Yeah boyeeeee!" moments?
Blair St. Clair as Ellen DeGeneres
Oh, Blair. Bless her heart. She went with Ellen. And it... didn't quite land.
It's tough to impersonate someone so well-known. Especially when their public image is, shall we say, *complicated*.
Runway Realness: Prom Nightmares
The runway theme was prom. And the queens served some *looks*. Some good. Some...questionable.
Shea looked stunning, as always. But was it really a *prom* look? More like high-fashion editorial prom.
And the bottom looks? Yikes. Some queens looked like they'd raided a Halloween store five minutes before curtain call.
The Lip Sync For Your Legacy...And Then Some
This lip sync was... intense. It was India Ferrah versus Shea Couleé to En Vogue's "Don't Let Go (Love)".
Shea, unsurprisingly, slayed. She's a lip sync assassin.
But the drama that unfolded afterwards? Girl. It was reality TV gold. India's big reveal of what *allegedly* transpired with Alexis Mateo.
The Aftermath & The "He Said, She Said"
The accusations flew. The other queens were shocked. We, the viewers, were glued to our screens.
Was India telling the truth? Was it a strategic play? Did Alexis really try to make a deal to eliminate strong contenders?
Honestly, who even knows! But it sure made for great TV. And it completely overshadowed the fact that *Derrick Barry* went home.
Poor Derrick! She deserved a better send-off than being a footnote in a sea of drama.
Final Thoughts: Team Alexis or Team Did-She-Really-Say-That?
This episode of All Stars 5 was messy. It was dramatic. It was everything we want (and sometimes don't want) from RuPaul's Drag Race.
Were you Team Alexis? Or did you believe India's side of the story? Sound off in the comments! Let's keep the drama going!
One thing's for sure: this season of All Stars was definitely one for the history books. Maybe not for the right reasons, but hey, who needs perfection when you have chaos?
