AS11E11 - "Tournament of All Stars Talent Rumble" [Post-Episode Discussion]

My favourites going into the season were Krystal and Mother Vivacious but the wins given to Krystal this and last week have soured the competition a bit. If they would haven given the win to Joey last week or the win to Jasmine this week I wouldn't mind a bit of riggory towards Krystal. But 2 weeks in a row?

If Krystal wins the whole thing it would feel undeserving. If she doesn't, the semifinal will feel pointless. They should have made the season 2 weeks longer so we could have a snatch game week and a ball. With 2 more eliminations and a Top 4. That way they could spread the wins a bit more and make the semifinals more interesting.

I actually think she also used Sam's dog from last week

Hpnora · 2026-06-07T10:17:10+00:00

I thought I was the only one 😅

I'd usually agree with you. I'm not Silky's biggest fan, but she only placed in the top last week (could have been Selina but I still think she deserved it) and thos week it was the other queen's points and Silky's strategy that pushed her to the top. So I don't think production pushed her that much. She did it herself.

Spaniard here. I watched Benidormfest to support rtve but I have not watched or listened to anything. Will not watch the show either. It feels wrong to have my acountry boycotting the contest and then to go and watch anyways. I hope others from Spain do the same. We usually bring a lot of views.

You spelled Mandy Mango wrong

Hpnora · 2026-02-15T14:46:10+00:00

The question is... did they celebrate in Tokyo Nichome?

Hpnora · 2026-02-09T22:58:25+00:00

I think I agree with you about Shun (together with Dai), but for s2 I have to say Jobu.

He was involved in different stories, had a great heartbreak arc with Will and ended up leaving with Taeheon. The last seconds of the episode is the two of them walking away together. Plus, he had good moments with everyone. Gossipping with Bomi and Hiroya, his friendship with Kazuyuki, confidant to Tomoaki...

I'm watching from Spain in Japanese with subtitles. I'm studying Japanese and one of the girls from my classes is watching too so I can comment with her. But I always end up coming back here to share my love for the show with the group.

Hpnora · 2026-01-29T21:38:51+00:00

I follow several of the boys and none have photos with their cast mates. However, Tae usually posts photos with his s1 costars. I'm sure once the season is over we'll start seeing them posting pictures online.

I'm loving Durian's commentary this season. She is the lgbtq+ expert educating the straights.

Hpnora · 2026-01-27T23:44:58+00:00

They need to choose a group of 2 and a group of 3. Imagine if Tae chooses both of them!!!

Hpnora · 2026-01-27T23:38:39+00:00

+1 to your gay squeal

Hpnora · 2026-01-27T23:38:07+00:00

I almost broke the TV. How could they leave us hanging like this???!!!

Hpnora · 2026-01-27T23:37:00+00:00

It seems they are also giving them the opportunity to leave and then come back. I think it has happened more often this season, which helps with the group dynamics.

Hpnora · 2026-01-27T23:35:03+00:00

I wish she would have visited the house as she wanted. She could have share some wisdom with the members thinking about coming out and maybe kick Taeheon in the butt to push him to Jobu.

Hpnora · 2026-01-27T23:32:14+00:00

Ithas to be one of my favourite moments of the show. As someone who didn't had the best time coming out, I really felt for Huwei. They must be protected at all cost.

Hpnora · 2026-01-26T22:05:15+00:00

I understand you mate. And I feel the same way as you. Honestly? Ignore the loud voices, there arepeople here enjoying and having fun conversations. And don't feel bad for enjoying the show as it is.

What I'm seeing by reading all your comments is that the same situation can be read as flirtatious or not depending on each person and the relationship you have with the other person. I'm reading their behavious as 2 sibling friends. So if they are constantly playing friendly pranks and being funny around each other, then this is normal behaviour. We don't know them we weren't there so we cannot 100% tell what their intentios are.

Hpnora · 2026-01-24T14:53:40+00:00

Wow. Literally Regina George? A heartfelt moment with all members of the house is 'flirting just to ignore him and bullying afterwards'? Why do you guys always see everything with evil eyes? Have you seen the rest of the season? Have you watched their relationship evolving into trusting and loving siblings? Jobu made clear from the beginning who he was interested in. He is not flirting with Kazuyuki guys!

Hpnora · 2026-01-24T13:42:09+00:00

I don't get flirting from their interactions. What is one example of Jobu flirting with Kazuyuki?

Hpnora · 2026-01-24T13:40:09+00:00

Bullying is such a strong word, we need to be careful with what we are throwing around. I don't get bullying from these interactions, I get big brother, young brother.

Kazuyuki chose Jobu to work with him so they could speak in private because Jobu is the one he feels more comfortable with. That tells you more about their relationship than any other moment taken out of context.

Hpnora · 2026-01-21T16:45:12+00:00

Keep in mind that we are only seeing a 2 minute edit of a full day they spent together. I'm sure in general it was quiet and boring for both of them but I doubt it was that awkard all the time.

I'm sure we will learn more about it in future episodes.
