The Queens Are Back, Back, Back Again!
Okay, let's be real. RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 7. It was legendary before it even started. Eight winners, all vying for the crown. Could it actually live up to the hype?
A Talent Show Extravaganza
The first challenge was a talent show. Obvious, right? But still so much fun. Some performances slayed. Others... well, they were definitely memorable.
Raja's performance art was captivating. Trinity's comedy was hilarious. Jinkx's Judy Garland was, as always, brilliant.
My (Potentially) Unpopular Opinion
Here's where I might lose some of you. Don't hate me! I wasn't *completely* blown away by everyone's performance.
Shea Couleé is amazing, no doubt. But was her performance the *best* of the night? I'm not so sure. Maybe I'm just being nitpicky.
Monét X Change's opera was impressive. But did it fully translate to the All Stars stage? Jury's still out in my book.
The Snatch Game Tease!
Then came the Snatch Game tease. Oh. My. God. We're getting everyone's BEST character. It's going to be iconic.
Jinkx as Judy again? YES, PLEASE. Trinity as a very specific, foul-mouthed individual? I'm already cackling.
But, secretly, I'm most excited for Raja. What is she going to bring to the table? Always unpredictable and creative.
The No Elimination Twist!
The biggest twist? No one went home! Instead, they got Legendary Legend Stars. Okay, RuPaul. You're playing games with our hearts.
Honestly, I love it. Keeps all the queens around for longer. More drama. More iconic moments. What's not to love?
But also, how cutthroat are things going to get? Everyone is going to fight for those stars!
Judging the Judges (Sort Of)
The judges were on point, as always. Michelle Visage delivering the critiques. Carson Kressley with the witty commentary. It felt like coming home.
But sometimes I wish they would mix it up a bit more. Give us some unexpected guest judges. Shake things up!
Anyone else agree? Or am I alone in my desire for a little chaos?
Early Predictions and Wild Guesses
Okay, time for some early predictions. Who's going to make it to the top? Who's going to stumble along the way? It's impossible to know for sure.
But I have a feeling Jinkx is going to be a force to be reckoned with. Her talent is undeniable.
Raja will get to the end by being authentic. I'm also putting my bets on Shea for a comeback! Don't underestimate these queens!
Final Thoughts (For Now)
All Stars 7 is off to a fantastic start. The queens are fierce. The challenges are fun. The drama is brewing.
If the rest of the season is anything like the first episode, we're in for a wild ride. Buckle up, buttercups!
What are your initial thoughts? Let me know! (And please be nice if you disagree with my questionable opinions.)
Don't forget: May the best woman win... or, you know, the one with the most stars!
