AS5 E08: Clap Back!

[dUb]

Or not being aware of how to write your own name?

Or possibly that, yes

 

[lolly]

Language is a construct, tear it apart.

 

[Alla]

So there was no spoiler here in the end?? What a way to keep you away from the thread

In fairness, it seemed like there was so it was good of whichever mod it was to flag it. I only realised this morning I could have changed the thread title myself to clarify. But no harm done really Alla, is there.

 

[Alla]

No problem! But I don't understand it, they filmed the 3 of them winning, wasn't more a case of someone saying it was Shea because there is no way anyone else would win in the #BLM days, than anything else? I remember reading something about Tyra spoiling it but I can't find the thread. What happened?

 

[dUb]

From what I can gather: while yes they film three endings, the Shea win was leaked by someone in TV or who had access to the final version that they were going to show. Tyra caught wind of it and spread it for... reasons.

 

[Alla]

Tyra's LENGTHY explanation for her actions and vendetta against the fans, the show and Shea if anyone can be fucked

Spoiler

Netflix must have been in on the plan

OMG! She seriously needs help.

 

[Phoenix]

Can we stop saying that Shea won because of BLM? Same some people said that Jaida won because of BLM and Monét because they wanted a black queen in the All Stars. It’s becoming a pattern.

 

[dUb]

Who said that?

Oh you're talking about Alla's post... I read it that he was referring to other people saying she would definitely win

 

[Generic Account]

Yes. Especially when we've been predicting a Shea All Stars win since AS3.

 

[Alla]

Can we stop saying that Shea won because of BLM?

I didn't say that, she did very well and deserved to win, I just said there is no way Ru would choose any of the other 2 queens as the winner considering what's going on in the world right now. And I'm not saying that's as a bad thing.

 

[dUb]

Edit: I need a lie down.

 

[RS]

I’m watching Untucked and I love how Blair has positioned herself on the sofa among the three finalists.

I also said the same thing and I stand by it. She was the definite winner of the finale, though...

 

[Diddy]

Well, that's that - bit of an anticlimax wasn't it? I really don't have the energy for a longread

Music video - A bit of a comedown, even after Super Queen(!). Juju didn't serve any Juju, Cracker did well but ultimately just bouncing around, Shea dressed to slay and had ludicrously more to do, but I couldn't understand any of her lyrics *insert Mayhem gibbering clip*. Bit of a miss all round

Runways - Juju's and Cracker's were so elaborate and amazing - Shea's ... oh another reference you need to explain! Didn't like it as a finale look TBH

Lipsync - Shea and Juju got this one down , FINALLY Juju woke up for a lip sync this time, Shea took her time but she knew the song. Cracker, WTF Not quite Asia butterflies but I thought something more interesting was going to come out of her tits than emptying hoover bags, and that outfit was rotted!

I mean I can't say Shea shouldn't have won, but I liked her a lot more on S9, but the narrative of the season seemed to be Shea's therapy / make-a-wish session. Hardly mentioned that Juju has been top 3 three times and she's not bellyaching about it all the time. The result was just so decided that I wonder what it was all about.

At least they all looked better than Monet & Trinity / Monsters Inc. I'm not used to Trinity being so busted - however Monet surpassed herself in bustedness, that stretch gold fabric over lumpy corset? *chef kiss*

 

[Berly]

All of this Diddy, completely agree! Especially Monet!

 

[COB]

I actually wondered if Monet had a mic pack under her outfit or something, it was so weird looking

 

[Loufoque]

Queen Shea. It was the only outcome. Even if she was worse this season than on her original one.

 

[RS]

I actually thought Trinity and Monet looked great and very star-ish.

Trinity always looks her best when looking like a rich old lady.

 

[lolly]

I suppose when you are defeated by a Fulbright scholar who relies on brains, you may well end up overthinking your lewks. The fact that the still frankly astonishing Love The Skin You're In seems to be one of the most straightforward though speaks volumes.

 

[straightorbroken]

Imagine how much more iconic the peice would have been if it started with Ru stating "it's time for me to frack back" and thus changed the name. And it would certainly explain the twitter situation better

 

[Diddy]

The fact that the still frankly astonishing Love The Skin You're In seems to be one of the most straightforward though speaks volumes.

Exactly! She did the best for me when she wasn’t trying to refer to something she’d already done. Alaska referred to Lil Pound Cake, but that wasn’t her season narrative

 

[Diddy]

Was anyone else semi-expecting Ru to announce his retirement on this episode, given the social media blackout?

 

[lolly]

I was quite shocked at how much shorter than Ru Shea is. A quick Google tells me she is only 5ft 9in tall. She certainly knows how to work her proportions to make her statuesque and Amazonian.

oh yes! I always thought she was so tall, mind you she’s always standing next to Juju and Cracker

 

[Sheena]

Yes, it crossed my mind but no- given that we already know other stuff was coming pre-lockdown and this was filmed last year.

She’s only 5’9?! I absolutely thought she was a 6 foot queen!

Oh god it actually sounds genuinely good with this backing track.

 

[lolly]

It's the only height I've seen quoted for her online. She's certainly considerably shorter than RuPaul (6' 4) and actually much closer to Jujubee and Cracker (5'6 and 5'5).

 

[cwej]

Wow I had NO IDEA Shea was that short - mostly because next to Juju and Cracker she looks like a giant...

 

[cwej]

Can we stop saying that Shea won because of BLM? Same some people said that Jaida won because of BLM and Monét because they wanted a black queen in the All Stars. It’s becoming a pattern.

Yeah it's not a good pattern at all... but I see where it started from.

 

[dUb]

Shea teetering on the edge of being d

 

[Phoenix]

What a bunch of cunts

 

[Diddy]

What was in the first one?

 

[straightorbroken]

Mob culture bigger than ever.

I haven't seen the first tweet, but these cancellors really should just log off and read a book or something.

 

[Diddy]

What did she do without a mask?

aside from saying their instead of there

 

[Christian]

I'm not surprised Ru has given up and gone off to frack in peace

 

[Christian]

 

[SDF]

So I finally got round to watching this

I mean we all saw Shea winning but Juju stepped her pussy up on that catwalk. She was glowing as. I hated what both Shea and Cracker were wearing.
