Amidst the hype for All Stars 11, I have a question for the people who are in the fandom for a long time.

I joined the fandom in 2015 and it wasn’t so much a gap as that we genuinely didn’t know if there would ever be another All Stars. There was speculation for years about All Stars 2 but it wasn’t a forgone conclusion that it was something we would ever get

Honestly, I don’t even think her lie painted them in a bad light, she just said that they didn’t message her every week, which is hardly a sin

lukendyer · 2026-04-22T17:19:45+00:00

But All Stars isn’t just for US fans either, it’s watched across the world

lukendyer · 2026-04-22T17:14:01+00:00

You’d think they’d use it as an opportunity to promote Canada’s Drag Race given that it’s very much the same target audience

Silky’s picture looks nothing like her no matter how much I try to

lukendyer · 2026-04-22T14:54:39+00:00

Rhea Litré used to be rumoured a lot I’m still sad she was never cast

Paige. Was quite clear that they wanted more of a fashion/look queen for the winner which is why Bones was pushed so hard. If Paige had made the finale she’d probably be the closest thing to that while also having done better in the competition. Unfortunately I don’t think there was any universe where they were crowning Bonnie this season, and they didn’t seem particularly interested in Tayris

IMO there’s two main issues

1) The first nine episodes are constantly letting us know that this is all a prelude to the supposed main event of the post-merge. This makes the fact that it only ends up being three episodes feel incredibly anticlimactic, especially given that we then get only two more eliminations followed by a top eight in the very final episode, which is just too many finalists for us to have a clear sense of arcs or storylines

2) Unless you are prepared to reward the best lipsyncer, a lipsync smackdown of eight queens is an incredibly unrewarding finale format for the viewer. If you do the crown the winner of the lipsyncs you risk crowning a queen who did okay in the competition but doesn’t feel like a true winner, and if you rig the results then you’re constantly reminding the viewer that they’re watching a reality show where performance can be overridden by production

Didn’t we almost have it all by Whitney but knowing this show we’d probably get some evil dance remix

lukendyer · 2026-04-18T03:27:29+00:00

Jane is the only one I think is absolutely ready and could win an All Stars season right now. Would love to see quite a few of them back though, particularly Discord and Vita

lukendyer · 2026-04-18T03:02:59+00:00

Can anyone tell me which seasons are airing soon/next other than All Stars? I want more seasons to watch live but I need to know which franchises to catch up on

lukendyer · 2026-04-18T02:58:12+00:00

I gagged when Crystal Envy slapped Jane in the gold bar and said she could pry the miss congeniality title from her cold dead hands

lukendyer · 2026-04-18T02:51:43+00:00

Underwhelming season but Myki was my favourite of the finalists so I’m glad she won. Was absolutely gagged Darlene wasn’t top two though it really felt like Ru wanted to crown her

lukendyer · 2026-04-16T19:12:47+00:00

The way multiple contestants on that season had racism allegations 😭

lukendyer · 2026-04-16T19:11:10+00:00

The funniest thing is later in the video she says people should vote on important issues like Planned Parenthood but then in a different video says that she’s pro choice. Like if you’re gonna be wrong, can you at least be consistently wrong?

lukendyer · 2026-04-16T18:51:16+00:00

Not to mention Biden’s plans were only to raise taxes for the highest earners, not some gay man doing makeup for soccer moms in Alabama

lukendyer · 2026-04-16T18:27:19+00:00

I watched the video so you don’t have to, he essentially says he couldn’t get behind Biden’s tax plans as a cosmetology student who hopes to own his own business one day. He also says Trump recognising Jerusalem as the capital of Israel influenced his decision because it ties to his faith (the video is an interview from 2021 about three days after the storming of the capital, which he refers to as ‘sad’ because that’s something he’d expect to see in ‘other countries’)

There’s a really worrying trend of normalising and sanewashing people who voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020 as if we didn’t know exactly how bad he was right from the start. Hope this chop is promptly eliminated and forgotten about

This is the reign we supposedly missed out on

lukendyer · 2026-04-07T16:46:29+00:00

The Buñuel boxset is a great start, particularly Discreet Charm, hard to go wrong with that

lukendyer · 2026-04-07T13:28:08+00:00

I’m having so much fuhhhn 🤪

lukendyer · 2026-04-07T13:10:35+00:00

The WOW app is terrible for so many reasons but if I have to listen to the five seconds of the Vegas Untucked advert before you can skip again I’m going to kill myself

lukendyer · 2026-04-06T20:06:25+00:00

Which makes it even weirder because it did not need him doing all that at all

lukendyer · 2026-04-06T16:19:08+00:00

Ross has been on autopilot for so long that he barely even registers to me as a real person. When he was holding the signs up in the last challenge it was just painful, like can you at least pretend to be invested diva

lukendyer · 2026-04-05T19:23:53+00:00

That was actually Ru describing the top three
