Production and RuPaul ruins the show
I was rewatching and this episode is special for me, because it features Frances Bean Cobain as a Guest Judge and I got to know RuPaul back in 1993, when I was just a young girl in my early teens, thanks to those images of RuPaul with Nirvana, holding Kurt Cobain's and Hole's singer Courtney Love baby. I was amazed by RuPaul and wanted to know who she was, here in my third world country, with no internet access for me back then.
Unfortunately, the way this "All Stars" show is set, put few established and beloved queens with a lot of new ones face each other. When they enter they agree to the rules but we know they have alliances and the newer fear the established ones, with better track records. Others fear fans reactions. Whatever it is, I don't think who eventually wins is the best because of the way the elimination is played. Also, in this particular episode, I think the Queen who won the lipsync deserved the challenge win, but the other winner IMHO should have been the Queen who was safe and have the best track record, she did a better work than the other challenge winner. Also, I honestly don't think the Queen who was in the bottom and got to stay deserved to be in the bottom. Even Carson understood the resemblance. So I really think the two bottom Queens were put there by Production and RuPaul for DRAMA. Because they think drama is good. But it's not when your best artists and performers are sent home. I really can't blame the top Queens for wanting to get rid of their biggest competition who is also the one who is less close to them, but that makes the show cringy, makes the Queens look not shady but weak and it becomes boring for us audiences.
The Makeover Challenge is my favourite and this episode was certainly not, despite having 3 of my favourite Queens and Frances Bean Cobain.
