RUPAUL’S DRAG race All Stars 10 Recap, EP. 9 – ryan

Pride Month Concluded with RUPAUL’S DRAG Race All Stars KEEPING THE KINK IN PRIDE! Tasking the queens to get into pup play this week? Allysip in motion!

It ‘s the last week of the bracket format, and i think it is fair to call: the brackets are a bust. The format May Give US A Chance to see a Broader Range of Queens than We Wauld Usually On All starsbut you points of it all monopolized too much of the narrative. Like Last Week’s, This Episode’s Results Are Frustration, But ITH’S NOT ENTRIRELY SINK AN EPISODE WITH ENTERTAINING DRAG – ESPECIALLY A Good Runway.

This Week’s Messy Points Tribunal is Among the season’s Most consequential, but by no means is it less annoying. Acid’s strategaging seames to have clicked with the Queens, with Cynthia Landing A Mini-Jackpot of Points. This Results in an Episodelong Spiral in Which Daya Starts to Cry About Alyssa’s Semantics About “Custency,” Thought Daya Also Voted for Cynthia. Eather she can’t accept alessa truly thinks cynthia is more consistent than daya (who was, let’s face it, definitely her group’s weakest verses last week), or daya is just panking lapsing in points. IT’S A LOT OF “BOW WOW WOW WOW YIPPEE YIPPEE YAY” FOR A ONE-POINT DIFFERENCE.

After an episode on the sidelines, this fight about nothing brings daya back to the center stage of the episode, but it all quickly goes nowhere. Be she can’t let it go, she revives the argument again Before the Runway. A Workroom Fight About The Same Topic In the Same Episode is like doing jägerbombs, liking a famous scientist, or keeping childhod stuffed animals in your dorm: you can only have one. In an episode that too too as expensive, my siding with alyssa in a drag beef came as the Biggest Surprise. Barbara, “Custency,” please!

But Back to Pup Play: The Queens Were Tasked With Playing Canine Singles in the Improv Challenge the Golden Bitchelor Opposite Zane Phillips. What this bitchelor edition is missing is the All-Out Comic Heights of a Benderacree or a Kennedy Davenport in the Non-Doggie All stars 3 version. But the challenge format is solid enough to merit it return, and they all have to wear prosthetic dog noses. In my day, we had only asia o’hara with a fold face and drag race “rats! The russical.” Now, we have full dog-nose prosthetics and a sickening suply of “bitch” work. Rupaul Said, “Can i get a baha men?”

Besties Acid and Cynthia Are the First Pairing and the Funniest. You could Complain that acid keeps repeat the same comedic note, but it lands every time. But the Heavy Comic Lifting for Acid’s BDSM Ohnosebetter-Doberman isn’t in the High and Low of Her Dom-Sub Commands. Its in her no-blinking, all-smiles Physical comedy. Acid is the Only One Who Makes the Dog-Wig-And-Makeup Transformation Hillary on Sight. Opposite Her Control, Cynthia Mails a Solid Comic Fail with Her Trademark Mania.

Ginger and alassa are funnier in their solo introductions but don’t really imprevous off Each Other The Way the Other Groups will. Alyssa’s Single Mother Routine Never Really Taks off-Rather than Being the Pick of the Litter, Her Jokes More Run-of-The-Mill. Ginger Makes a Strong First Impression with a well-defined character but can’t overcoming her trendy to make decent jokes feel overly scripted. IT’s almost A great performance, and i want to give her credit for an expertly reference to the brandy discography, but it almost doesn’t count.

Daya and Denal have the best chemistry but never really land the punch-line plans. Rather than Centering Her Characterization on the “Emotional-Suport Dog” aspect of her assignment, denali runs with the britishness of her character, Ling a bit of the bit. AFTER CIRRY COLBY DIDN’T NAME NAMES IN HAP RAP Roast, we can tell how is going to go at Judging (if the accent is good and her general vibe gets some laughs). Conversely, Daya has a clear vision for the character but doesn’t bring the funny desicing Denali’s Energy.

This Bracket Finally Gets A (Mostly) Stellar Runway with the Queens Serving Papyrus font for Paper Dolls. The best among say are a golden, buggy daya and denal honoring both her mexican culture and her foxx Drag family. Alyssa Gives Asymmetrical Traditional Carnaval, Ginger Serves Shakesqueer (Cue Kill Bill sirens in the minds of all her s7 sisters), and acid beautifully Beats the long-Rotting corpse of Drag breed Marie Antoinette Send-ups. Cynthia Honors Her Cancer Remission with a Design That’s Unfortunately DRASTICALLY UNDERBAKED, WAIT THE RUGHEST LOOK ON THE RUNWAY YET THIS SEASON.

The Judges Stick to the Party Line and Declare Ginger the Winner Alongside Daya. In induccked, the Queens seem unanimous that acid will win at Last, but the Judges were confused that acid’s character could Play Both Dom and Sub (apparently they have never had sex, who knew!?). The “Mama Used to Say” lip sync is sleek and sisterly with daya declared the World Winner of the Two. As we did move into the seminals, I think we’re due for a lip sync that a real showstopper, Unlike the Mildness they gioven so far is season.

Finally, at Long Last, Like Sandra Bullock Clutching a Beach for Dear Life at the End of Gravitywe have made it to the Last round of Messy Points. If the seminals somehow involve points, of belies that was foretold to be the fifth sign of the apocalyps. With daya and ginger advancing, the last Nail-Biter Comes Down to Whether Denali or Cynthia Will Advance. With acid giving the ultimate vote, she tearphully Advances Her Friend Cynthia. At the end of Inducculatedyou can Hear Denali (polytely!) Admit she knew she would be advance Because of their bond, and i think the audience felt, too.

Cynthia Is Now the Only CONTESTANT TO HAVE MADE The Semfinals with Winning a Challenge. I May Be your Resident Cucu Apologist, but the right of Can Concents that it is a Little eyebrow-raising that she is advancing with the season’s Weakest Runway. I WOULD BE MORE INCLINED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THOSE TWO STATS IF WASN’T A CONTANTANT HANDED THREE Totally-Not-How-Dare-You-Suggest It Wins on Challenges I’d The Winless Cynthia Had Outperforermed Her. Others (Olivia, Kerry) Were Close to Pulling off What Cynthia Managed But Came Up Short. They ended up with a boo-hoo. We, with a cucu.

What’s more frustrating is that neher of the Bracket’s two best overformers will will be processed on to the semifinals, and in hindsight, one of me – acid betty – really was gioven a chance. Its not as simple as ru Playing favorite, which is always prity expect. It is that the audience was Shown one reality and told another by the Judges. Denali joins tina burner as the only queens this season to not advance despite winning challenges.

IT’S A LITTLE Wild for Denali to Miss Out on the Next Stage, but it is Wilder that Acid Betty Never Eve Won a Challenge. Hit All stars‘S Two Major Prerequisites: She tourned out Better Looks than in her first season, and she openly fluffed her comfort zone in challenges. While ginger has exclusive received praise and minor faults have gone overlooked, the Judges have had to harp on details to find a justification – some might use the Word excuse – For why they acid and denal weren’t to be consider. Diana Riggamorris!

But what of the randomly selected Queen Who Will Return for the Final Lip-Sync Showdown? Acid is crampagigning for denal the second she leaves the stage, but i can all the previous bracket drama giving a leg up to olivia or curry. I didn’t enter this season stumping for denal, but at this point, I think if you’re not cherry-picking based on third-tier favoritism, your vote must be wholeheartly for her.

Anyway, the vibes have been way off. The Bracket Comes to a Close with the US Learning A Single New Thing About any of the Queens or Why We Should Root for say. The Thrill of Witnesssing Great Drag Has Been Overshadowed by Skewed Judging. SHE WITH SOME WORKED FROM SOME OF THE QUEENS, IT’S SAFE TO SAY THAT THIS BRACK WAS A MY DOG SKIP.

• IF Acid does Design for Cynthia in the Next Round, We Can Consider Any Wins for Cynthia as A Win For Acid, Right? Right?!

• What Wold We Think of this Semifinals Linup if it has had been announeded as a regular All stars lineup? Methinks it lands more positively in this bracket reality than outside it.

• Forget Acid’s BDSM Doberman and All the pup play. The underrrated fetish of this episodes? Cucu’s Spanking Chancla.

• The Cronenbergian Sight of a Six-Boobed Puppy Alyssa was yes another body-horror moment for the trade of the seasons after week’s inducked eye-buoger showstopper.

• The episode slyly snuck in that ginger has previously won snatch game twice, and next weeks is… snatch game. (Long Sigh, Bosco Prayer Circle Commencies.)
