Hey @GreenGayYT I just love your channel and the content that u provide. But I just have one little complaint. When u said that on the Snatch Game of Love episode that Miss Cracker along side India was the worst of the episode when in all actuality it was Blair St Clair that flopped major one of the worst playing Ellen Degenerous. Forgive me if I misspelled it. So could u please reconsider your decision. Thanks #peaceandlove #goodvibesonly #dragrace #AS5
Mayhem forgetting the words, picking her own lipstick in All Stars 5 and return to UK vs The World to forget her performance and being eliminated first is beyond me.
The actual robbed queen of AS5 snatch game was Jujubee. Let's be real "sensible 74" is the most remembered line from this season outside of "you are liar and that's why derrick dont like you"
Exactly. I love Shea's progressivish take on Flavor Flav but no one remembers it. If there were two winners each episode, this season could've been a lot more interesting. Wasn't that lip sync "Open Your Heart"? Jujubee vs. Shea with an old school song? Doubt Juju would've thrown this one.
@@vinnym5607If we had two winners it would have been Alexis and Shea or Alexis and Juju (imo Shea was third best which is why it was wild to me she won). And Alexis would have won against either imo. Honestly given that the season was very short, they should have kept it in the top two format. The lip sync assassin format worked on AS6 because there were 10 competitive challenges giving more queens a chance to shine (plus even though I'd love more queens getting wins, I would not trade AS6 lipsyncs). AS5 only had 7 opportunities to win a challenge. And in top 2 format, Shea winning would have made much more sense since she'd have been top for Ball and Stand Up while I don't think either Cracker or Juju would have gotten an additional high placement (though one of Juju's highs would change to Top for the Improv with Cracker).
I think the "if you're not in the top, you're in the bottom" set up is what really does the season in. Watching someone excel in the challenge and not receive any recognition but instead get punished is not a fun watch at all.
@@alextirrellRIAnd Kylie could have had a much better track record with possible top placements for the Ball, Snatch Game and even Girl Groups (though the last one probably would have gone to Ra'jah). Also did Trinity have a worse track record than Ginger? Trinity had 2 wins, 2 highs, 3 btms, Ginger had 2 wins, 1 high, 1 low and 2 bttm and was absolutely the worst in that final challenge
That’s why Heidi left the last all stars. It’s very annoying how they sometimes give pity wins to queens bc they have been whining and finally did something better than mid, but some can be the clear winner and they refuse to give it to them for “drama” but really it’s just fcking annoying
@@sirena3470 I mean....as she is....we may love her due to her quick witts, but Bob isn't known for being a nice queen. And speaking of Bob and criticism, as a straight man once said: So you're poly, pan, she/her and his/him. How you open to everything except criticism?
No one got a satisfying arc, the opposite of All Stars 6 Shea didn't dominate as hard as she did in Season 9, so it was hard to get fully behind her. Miz Cracker lost the personable moments from Season 10, so it was hard to get fully behind her. Jujubee was edited like she was there to have fun, not kick ass. Blaire left at the top 4, but it felt like she never got close to making a splash. Alexis didn't win anything even though she deserved to. India left with the lie being her legacy. Mayhem left defeated. Mariah didn't get to fully show what she can do. Ongina left defeated. Derrick left way too early. You finish the season without feeling proud of everyone like you do with All Stars 2 or 6 or 7
Cracker had TWO chances to boot SC before the final and didn't do it. It's hard for me to actually say that it's her own fault she didn't win in a season that was set up for SC to win, but that's what it was.
@@moyaxoxo5923 Don't be stupid - India was cast purely to have drama with Derrick. Derrick had a way better TV personality than India and quite frankly would've been a great narrator even if Derrick had the same track record as India.
Why? It’s a competition based on talent with the weaker queens going home first. Derrick has proved in challenge after challenge that her only notable talent is doing an impression of a singular celebrity that herself has long faded away
most relevant things off AS5: -You’re a liar and this is why Derrick don’t like you -The bananas in the hotel room challenge -Shea’s Chadwick verse -A sensible 74 -Walter Mercado Besides that, lemme act as if the season didn’t happen 😂
They eliminated the best tv in the first episode. That storyline was resolved waaay too early. Instead we got some lack luster story line of Shea possibly getting eliminated.
Drag Detective is a bit much. I mean I guess people do the same thing for sports... but this "everything is a conspiracy by the producers, here is my arbitrary ranking of how things should have gone, see I proved it was a conspiracy by my arbitrary ranking" soured me. The whole channel can be written off by the phrase "art is subjective" (and therefore hard to judge.)
I hate hate HATE the lip sync assassin twist because I preferred when it was 2 queens winning the challenge meaning there was more front runners instead of just 1 like in all stars 8
I feel like they added it to "try out" other queens for future all stars or vs the world series... I miss a top 2 lip sync too; I'm glad they brought it back for vs the world
IVE BEEN WATCHING DRAG RACE THIS WHOLE TIME AND TODAY I LEARNED THEY CHOOSE LIPSTICKS IN THE BATHROOM… I dont know what to do with this information but I love it 😂😂
yeah I agree that this was Shea Coulee's season to win. Previous to this season, Manila was supposed to win but she caused her own downfall by saving Latrice and breaking the track record rule + not sending Monet home. Season 5 however, it felt like predictable to a fault because there is obviously the fanbase who wants to see Shea Coulee win and the track record rule is followed, and in reality, this is a reality show and outside the show, these queens want to form relationships with each other that hold well, so doing someone dirty has much worse consequences.
Totally, that Naomi All Stars 4 moment changed the actual production for All Stars 5! But I guess production didn't realise the unpredictability is what makes it exciting - "life's not fair" will always be iconic.
Manila lost a challenge she was sure to win, her downfall was her partner being her partner for the challenge which completely distracted her from it plus her banking on no one sending her home because she's the front runner.
@@AimbotFreak i hear that production sabotaged her to some degree bc her makeover look was in fact look for another category where she intended to dress as an menstruarion pad bu they said no instead she has to wear that pink rococo dress that was planned for makeover maybe it's fake but still
@@georgiyrozanov8645 Would have believed you if she wasn't productions favorite for the win. Manila screwed up and Naomi rightfully clocked her for it.
stop because if alexis vs vanjie happened and alexis won the season it would have been SUCH a game changer. alexis deserves a crown and i will stand on that hill.
The reason it didn't work was quite simple - overproduction Shea was definitely chose to win before the season started and tbf nothing wrong with that, similarly Alaska was predestined to win and AS2 was still amazing Problems start after Manila's elimination, the production was aware that girls may not hesitate to send Shea home, hence they always kept Shea at the top but never to front run, which lead to a bad season and not satisfying conclusion to her character Also just confusing and not well thought challenges didn't help
AS5 was the reverse AS6. In AS6 they've cast queens, who needed redemption and gave it to them. In AS5 they've cast killer queens and gave them something to redeem. They pretty much made everyone dirty in the edit.
I’m only here to put some respect on Alyssa and Shea cutting a rug something fierce to “Neutron Dance” - one of THEEEE best lip syncs ever, it cemented Shea as the winner of the season for me.
All Stars 5 was a pointless watch. It was obvious form the moment she walked in that Shae was going to win. It was very heavily edited in that way too. Alecis was also heavily screwed, no wins and the whole issue with India. Alexis really deserved better. Much like Pandora in AS6.
She deserved better, but I can't think of a single challenge Pandora should have won though. She deserved more screen time sure, but when she went home (she bombed snatch game with Kim Cattrall) it felt pretty just. Maybe even the episode prior if we're being 100.
Fun Facts: Miz Cracker wanted to change her outfit before the grand finale lip sync, but production said no. Morgan McMichaels was told to 'tone' it down in the lip sync against Miz Cracker. Alyssa was told by production to let Shea win the lip sync & the original song was supposed to be "Fancy" not "Neutron Dance."
This is where Naomi was smart. I know she didn't win, but getting rid of Manila took away who would of most definitely would have won giving her a chance.
The thing that baffles me the most is that in AS2 production wanted to push Detox to eliminate Alaska to create more drama. When in AS4 Naomi creates drama eliminating Manila, they have to change the format and then they still want the queens to eliminate the frontrunners. Naomi knew she wasn’t going to win, creating an iconic moment was the only way to really shine
Sometimes I think about how AS5 would be with Derrick staying like the drama that we would’ve been served would’ve been so good. Plus we all knew this was gonna be an apology letter for shea not winning S9. It really was unfortunate that this season was a mess.
Great video as usual! I personally didn't mind All Stars 5 but I agree it felt predictable right from the beginning who would end up in the finals. It was the first time like you say they experimented with putting early outs in and at first it was a gag but then it ended up they all went early anyway so felt like it failed in that respect, I guess except for Blair? But you just knew they'd never crown her, the energy never felt in her favour despite her doing well. Derrick going in the first episode was so disappointing I agree, she is EXCELLENT TV and it would have been great to see the glow up. I think the drama with India was 100% real as well. I really hope to see Derrick back on a vs the World at some point, I think a lot of the fandom feel the same. I remember when I watched this season for the first time I felt like some of the looks, mainly from the top 3 were some of the most impressive I'd ever seen and it felt elevated, a big step up from previous All Stars - it had serious wow factor. Shea the most. The final runway when everyone came back was absolutely amazing. Even compared to All Stars 6 I still think the looks from this season were more elevated overall. So it definitely had that. Only thing I disagree with in this is I don't think India's dress was THAT much like Gaga's, it just had the same type of sleeves but can't see any other similarities. I also think Ongina being cast was one of the most exciting for people, well it was for me anyway. It was sad the way she second guessed herself and faded so quickly.
When watching the talent show and Shea was quite skaky on the pole as the second act, I was convinced she would be clear bottom. But it kept getting worse and worse…
When I think about seasons based on colors, season 3/4 are gold/yellow, season 9 is the purple pink season, and this is the blue season. I’d say the most recent seasons are orange
I wish they would bring the studio audience back for the talent shows and roasts. Pandemic’s over and we still have crickets with some chuckles from the judges.
The ongina arc fucked me up so bad.. she is one of my fav queens and i loved her since i saw her on s1, so finally having her on all stars was so excitinggg. And then...needless to say that killed all my excitement for the season in general
But I mean… everyone saw what she did. The weakest in the reading challenge, random moves in the talent show, horrific singing and dancing in the girl groups. She was clearly the worst in all categories 😆
I want to point out also that in the UK the winner was spoilt from the thumbnail on netflix - so if it wasn't clear who was going to win before they were just theowing it at you
What put me off in the end was the winner have a victory party indoors amidst the uncertainties of the pandemic. And she was telling fans on twitter that she deserves it so the pandemic doesn't matter.
Drag Race All Star 1 is no longer the worst season, thanks to this season. Ridiculous competitions where we know who wins from the first moment are not enjoyable. Ve unutmadan Drag Race All Star season 8 is also messy
AS1 had a stellar cast of queens who did put up a fight (except Pandora), some hilarious moments (idk I love the episodes where they are outside), the runways were nothing special but they weren’t terrible either, the drama with Mimi was tv gold. Besides the pairs twist it was quite good, and honestly I didn’t even mind that too much, it’s the shorter season that made AS1 less enjoyable, at least to me
I want to mention that Anika, a drag youtuber, knew at the time the cast came out that it was because of the personal fight between India and Derrick (like when Alexis recommended casting Alyssa and Coco) So thanks to that rivalry, they both got the call and it just so happened that they both accepted, because the fight was something known among the drags in that area.
She chose to compete in that one. She could have been on 3 or 4. And yes 3 was too soon but she could have been on 4 were she'd have storylines and actually face tough competition.
@@c.k.8585 the queens choose when to compete but they do not chose their partners nor the challenges, why should we expect her to know that in the first place?
Watching it in the midst of lockdown was such a fever dream. By the end of the season it felt so hollow and empty I LOVE Shea I wanted her to win a season- but this just wasn’t the triumphant victory I wanted for her
I am such a Jujubee nerd. Every time I go to a local public garden called The Huntington I repeat this silly question and answer when I see the tree in the bonsai court. Q: What is Jujubee's favorite tree? A: liquidAMBER!
Thank you for agreeing that India was trying to shake up the competition by saying that Alexis was campaigning to eliminate Shea the number of people who still think that India wasn't trying to do that even after making it so obvious is ridiculous
The best part of all stars 5 was Bob being totally manic hosting the pit stop from home - it was hilarious and one of the highlights of the first lockdown 😊
I love Shae, she's one of my favorites queens, but watching any season with her is difficult due to all the favoritism from the fans (and also the judges sometimes). To me it feels like, although she's amazing on her own, there is this energy of she is owed to win. For example, both all stars she wasn't getting many wins because she's good at everything but doesn't reach the heights of queens whose talent is more focus. And yet she was made to win 5 and be in top in 7 while arguably more deserving queens didn't
She undeniably excelled on her original season. But she didn’t live up to her hype on both subsequent seasons. AS5 was painful to watch as they tried hard to make her win despite MizCracker performing better overall, imo.
Alexis Mateo may have been done dirty, but she left the season as a fan favorite, not a bad outcome at all! How many fans did India Farrah pick up after this season, if any?
Not knowing WHO is winning a season is key! Shea is fantastic, Sasha is a star. Those are two queens who the fanbase collectively crowned from their meet the queens. For me personally, it ruins the experience of watching the entire season when you already know the outcome.
A very meh season. I love Shea but I wanted Miz Cracker to win ngl. I knew from the beginning that Jujubee would be the Shangela of the season. Like Bob the Drag Queen I also hated Blaire on the season. I hated that Derek Barry left on the first episode bcuz I was really looking forward to her.
All Stars 5 was what, 8 episodes? And those damn rose petals were mentioned in at least four of them. By the time Shea brought them up in the roast challenge, I was *over it*.
Didn't watch yet, but I'll give my take: What went wrong in AS5 is that EVERYBODY gave up when Shea was announced/entered the week room. Both cast and production just gave up to give her the crown. And Miz Cracker is unbearable to live with.
If i had the power to change history, it would be to convince Derrick to do a Britney number. He wouldn't even need to use a "Britney" song. They would just need to use Willam's "Derrick" parody edit. We could have had nobody died at stonewall codified in Drag Race history.
Shea is a terrible winner not because of her ability, but because she won a terrible season where the competition did not do any kf them any favors. If Shea had. Won season 9 it would have been an amazing moment because she fought tooth and nail and still preveiled, but all stars 5? Meeh
AS5 was the first Drag Race season where I'd rather watch the recap. Bob's beef with Blair St. Claire, Jinx hating 80s Madonna & the Number 5. The Pit Stop was more entertaining than the episodes. And when you have SOOOOOOOOO many recaps, it's really easy to pass on the episode and just watch all the commentary and reactions from other queens.
The reason I don't like snatch game of love is that it's just... not snatch game? Snatch game is supposed to be a parody of match game. Snatch game of love parodies a whole different show with a whole different premise. Idk maybe it's me just being autistic, but it annoys me
It wasn’t hard to watch. It was a season clearly set up to make people think Juju was finally going to win when in reality, you knew they only wanted Shea to win.
imagine if AS5 would’ve waited to film till 2020. so the cast would be All Stars 5: Jujubee (S2, AS1) Alexis Matteo (S3, AS1) Yara Sofia (S3, AS1) Mariah Paris Balenciaga (S3) Trinity K Bonét (S6) Derrick Barry (S8) Shea (S9) Miz Cracker (S10) Ra‘jah O‘Hara (S11) Jan (S12) All Stars 6: Ongina (S1) Kylie Sonique Love (S2) Pandora Boxx (S2, AS1) Jiggly Caliente (S4) Adore Delana (S6, AS2) Ginger Minj (S7, AS2) Eureka! (S9, S10) Mayhem Miller (S10) A‘Keria C Davenport (S11) Scarlet Envy (S11) in an alternate universe AS5 is existing like that for the better part of
Just about every all stars season after 4 is just helping me respect and worship Naomi Smalls more and more. That woman was not afraid to reach for the knife to make the necessary chops, and honestly some of these bitches could use a spine or two like what she has, used both for backbending in a lip-sync and sending the biggest competition home no questions asked
Alaska was wildly beloved before AS2 began. She had a huge fan base and people only disliked her towards the end because of her tantrum moment and everyone called her a 🐍 lol
I think AS5 was a Bad season… because It was fair (in a way). Just think about It: when Naomi eliminated Manila E V E R Y B O D Y hate her like 💩 (myself included but I never send her a 💀📩). So, If one Of the AS5 eliminated Shea EVERYONE would be sooooo mad that I Can understand Why the cast select the bottom queen fair enough. Yes, Production still puts Shea in a pedestal and I dont feel she deserved being crown over Jujubee or Cracker. But the real thing here is that no one wants to eliminated her because Of the fandom.
It wasn't the best all stars but it is nowhere near a disaster. I believe some influencers hated it to the guts (which is understandable and no problem per se) and then the hate spread and escalated. Ps: it has been a long time since I last saw your video and the speech pace has improved a million times! Keep the good work (:
The season was so obviously setup for Shea to win from the start that it wasn't enjoyable. It plodded along to the expected conclusion. Alexis was screwed over.
Shea coulee has no charisma. She’s a snooze to watch. She made this season bad. Also jujubee was bad and didn’t even deserve the win that week she won.
I’m surprised producers didn’t intervene when Derek was getting first eliminated. The season could have been so much more memorable had she stayed longer.

NOT YOU GOING OVER EVERYONE ON THE CAST BUT MARIAH LMFFAOOOO
IKR! 😢😂
🎯 Seriously!!!! 😳😮💨
All Stars 5 was a pointless watch. It was obvious form the moment she walked in that Shae was going to win. It was very heavily edited in that way too. Alecis was also heavily screwed, no wins and the whole issue with India. Alexis really deserved better. Much like Pandora in AS6.
She deserved better, but I can't think of a single challenge Pandora should have won though. She deserved more screen time sure, but when she went home (she bombed snatch game with Kim Cattrall) it felt pretty just. Maybe even the episode prior if we're being 100.
Fun Facts: Miz Cracker wanted to change her outfit before the grand finale lip sync, but production said no. Morgan McMichaels was told to 'tone' it down in the lip sync against Miz Cracker. Alyssa was told by production to let Shea win the lip sync & the original song was supposed to be "Fancy" not "Neutron Dance."
Fancy was supposed to be for Roxxxy Andrews’s lip synch not that one
@@musicjunkie274 Yup, Roxxxy still would have whooped Cracker regardless! 🤣
@@mikecee2145lmao sure jan, where did you got this informations?
Honestly I don't even need a source, having watched and followed every single thing about Drag Race for 11 years now, I know that can totally happen
Alexis being robbed of her top placements over that bullshit change in format is what made the season so awful.
1:39 This photo of Roxxxy is truly iconic😂
This is where Naomi was smart. I know she didn't win, but getting rid of Manila took away who would of most definitely would have won giving her a chance.
The thing that baffles me the most is that in AS2 production wanted to push Detox to eliminate Alaska to create more drama. When in AS4 Naomi creates drama eliminating Manila, they have to change the format and then they still want the queens to eliminate the frontrunners. Naomi knew she wasn’t going to win, creating an iconic moment was the only way to really shine
Naomi never had a chance; production didn't give her that.
@@asaabrahamagulnik574 Well she didn't know that at the time
@@Anna101sharkI think she might have when she saw the RuPaulaPaLooza song choice "scandal"
I jump for joy whenever you upload.
I jump for joy whenever you comment!
@@GreenGayYT I jump for joy when you reply
Jujubee shouldve won. She brought so much to the table, and ru just let her hang dry again....
Sometimes I think about how AS5 would be with Derrick staying like the drama that we would’ve been served would’ve been so good. Plus we all knew this was gonna be an apology letter for shea not winning S9. It really was unfortunate that this season was a mess.
Great video as usual! I personally didn't mind All Stars 5 but I agree it felt predictable right from the beginning who would end up in the finals. It was the first time like you say they experimented with putting early outs in and at first it was a gag but then it ended up they all went early anyway so felt like it failed in that respect, I guess except for Blair? But you just knew they'd never crown her, the energy never felt in her favour despite her doing well.
Derrick going in the first episode was so disappointing I agree, she is EXCELLENT TV and it would have been great to see the glow up. I think the drama with India was 100% real as well. I really hope to see Derrick back on a vs the World at some point, I think a lot of the fandom feel the same.
I remember when I watched this season for the first time I felt like some of the looks, mainly from the top 3 were some of the most impressive I'd ever seen and it felt elevated, a big step up from previous All Stars - it had serious wow factor. Shea the most. The final runway when everyone came back was absolutely amazing. Even compared to All Stars 6 I still think the looks from this season were more elevated overall. So it definitely had that.
Only thing I disagree with in this is I don't think India's dress was THAT much like Gaga's, it just had the same type of sleeves but can't see any other similarities.
I also think Ongina being cast was one of the most exciting for people, well it was for me anyway. It was sad the way she second guessed herself and faded so quickly.
When watching the talent show and Shea was quite skaky on the pole as the second act, I was convinced she would be clear bottom. But it kept getting worse and worse…
me JUST finishing rewatching All Stars 5 and seeing this pop up is wild🤯
Jujubee was sooo good. She should have at least won twice more (snatch game and tmz)
Alexis close second to winning the snatch game??? Jujubee was literally there 😭
This was also the season where we can clearly see why we the fans don't want to see India Farrah in Drag Race anymore
When I think about seasons based on colors, season 3/4 are gold/yellow, season 9 is the purple pink season, and this is the blue season. I’d say the most recent seasons are orange
I wish they would bring the studio audience back for the talent shows and roasts. Pandemic’s over and we still have crickets with some chuckles from the judges.
You are such a fool with that opener. 😭
The ongina arc fucked me up so bad.. she is one of my fav queens and i loved her since i saw her on s1, so finally having her on all stars was so excitinggg. And then...needless to say that killed all my excitement for the season in general
But I mean… everyone saw what she did. The weakest in the reading challenge, random moves in the talent show, horrific singing and dancing in the girl groups.
She was clearly the worst in all categories 😆
@@kev7600 oh yeah def!! Which just breaks my heart even more lmao. I think she just had a bad case of not being able to adapt to the modern drag race
I want to point out also that in the UK the winner was spoilt from the thumbnail on netflix - so if it wasn't clear who was going to win before they were just theowing it at you
Gurl Shea's Flavor Flav was hilarious 😂😂 i loved that she won
What put me off in the end was the winner have a victory party indoors amidst the uncertainties of the pandemic. And she was telling fans on twitter that she deserves it so the pandemic doesn't matter.
Drag detective, Jack, AND GREEN GAY ON THE SAME DAY !!!? What is happening. @runnereye where you at?
Drag Race All Star 1 is no longer the worst season, thanks to this season. Ridiculous competitions where we know who wins from the first moment are not enjoyable. Ve unutmadan Drag Race All Star season 8 is also messy
“That was fighting for gay rights. I mean people were killed”
“Nobody was killed at stonewall”
“Nobody was killed?…”
Gets me every time 😂
AS5 peak moment: You’re a liar, and that’s why Derrick don’t like you
Saying Flava flav with a hard R is crazy
Shea didn't deserve to win and she wasn't robbed in S9. She's a talented queen, but not for me.
People call AS1 the worst season because of the format, but the untucked foght in episode 1 pushes it far above this dumpster fire of a season
AS1 had a stellar cast of queens who did put up a fight (except Pandora), some hilarious moments (idk I love the episodes where they are outside), the runways were nothing special but they weren’t terrible either, the drama with Mimi was tv gold. Besides the pairs twist it was quite good, and honestly I didn’t even mind that too much, it’s the shorter season that made AS1 less enjoyable, at least to me
The best thing about this season is Bob hating Blair St Clair every episode
I want to mention that Anika, a drag youtuber, knew at the time the cast came out that it was because of the personal fight between India and Derrick (like when Alexis recommended casting Alyssa and Coco)
So thanks to that rivalry, they both got the call and it just so happened that they both accepted, because the fight was something known among the drags in that area.
To me the worst part will always be that we gave the worst all stars to MF SHEA COULEE
She chose to compete in that one. She could have been on 3 or 4. And yes 3 was too soon but she could have been on 4 were she'd have storylines and actually face tough competition.
@@c.k.8585Trinity versus Shea - but I think they both deserved a chance at their own crown
Valentina, Trinity, Shea - great drama - but I WANT TO KEEP IT ON
@@c.k.8585 the queens choose when to compete but they do not chose their partners nor the challenges, why should we expect her to know that in the first place?
Green Gay you’re killing me with the Hannah Montana transitions 😂😂😂
Watching it in the midst of lockdown was such a fever dream. By the end of the season it felt so hollow and empty
I LOVE Shea I wanted her to win a season- but this just wasn’t the triumphant victory I wanted for her
I am such a Jujubee nerd. Every time I go to a local public garden called The Huntington I repeat this silly question and answer when I see the tree in the bonsai court.
Q: What is Jujubee's favorite tree?
A: liquidAMBER!
Thank you for agreeing that India was trying to shake up the competition by saying that Alexis was campaigning to eliminate Shea the number of people who still think that India wasn't trying to do that even after making it so obvious is ridiculous
The best part of all stars 5 was Bob being totally manic hosting the pit stop from home - it was hilarious and one of the highlights of the first lockdown 😊
I love Shae, she's one of my favorites queens, but watching any season with her is difficult due to all the favoritism from the fans (and also the judges sometimes). To me it feels like, although she's amazing on her own, there is this energy of she is owed to win. For example, both all stars she wasn't getting many wins because she's good at everything but doesn't reach the heights of queens whose talent is more focus. And yet she was made to win 5 and be in top in 7 while arguably more deserving queens didn't
She undeniably excelled on her original season. But she didn’t live up to her hype on both subsequent seasons. AS5 was painful to watch as they tried hard to make her win despite MizCracker performing better overall, imo.
Alexis Mateo may have been done dirty, but she left the season as a fan favorite, not a bad outcome at all! How many fans did India Farrah pick up after this season, if any?
The only season that needed a double winner. Shea and Jujubee winning would be absolutely epic
This season was so bad that I cancelled my Paramount + account. All Stars 1 was way better.
season 15 was worse and from the very beginning it was known that the disgusting Sasha Colby would win... 😢
Not knowing WHO is winning a season is key! Shea is fantastic, Sasha is a star. Those are two queens who the fanbase collectively crowned from their meet the queens. For me personally, it ruins the experience of watching the entire season when you already know the outcome.
A very meh season. I love Shea but I wanted Miz Cracker to win ngl. I knew from the beginning that Jujubee would be the Shangela of the season. Like Bob the Drag Queen I also hated Blaire on the season. I hated that Derek Barry left on the first episode bcuz I was really looking forward to her.
For what though Derrick does one thing and that thing is no longer relevant in pop culture. Unless she starts twirlin w knives I’m bored
Shea made a joke of herself this season.. her whole storyline was trauma dumping over some rose petals
All Stars 5 was what, 8 episodes? And those damn rose petals were mentioned in at least four of them. By the time Shea brought them up in the roast challenge, I was *over it*.
Didn't watch yet, but I'll give my take:
What went wrong in AS5 is that EVERYBODY gave up when Shea was announced/entered the week room. Both cast and production just gave up to give her the crown.
And Miz Cracker is unbearable to live with.
WHAT CRACKER? I was rooting for her 😭
“…unbearable to live with “
Just came out of nowhere and
Yep, I gave it a miss the moment I saw Mr. Cracker was going to be there
Mariah was robbed in Talent Show
If i had the power to change history, it would be to convince Derrick to do a Britney number. He wouldn't even need to use a "Britney" song. They would just need to use Willam's "Derrick" parody edit. We could have had nobody died at stonewall codified in Drag Race history.
NOT THE BUSHY BALL POLICE
Shea is a terrible winner not because of her ability, but because she won a terrible season where the competition did not do any kf them any favors. If Shea had. Won season 9 it would have been an amazing moment because she fought tooth and nail and still preveiled, but all stars 5? Meeh
AS5 was the first Drag Race season where I'd rather watch the recap. Bob's beef with Blair St. Claire, Jinx hating 80s Madonna & the Number 5. The Pit Stop was more entertaining than the episodes. And when you have SOOOOOOOOO many recaps, it's really easy to pass on the episode and just watch all the commentary and reactions from other queens.
I mean....Shea did not deserve to win AS5... she was horrible in it. Its like they crowned her for S9 when S9 shea was not present.
The reason I don't like snatch game of love is that it's just... not snatch game? Snatch game is supposed to be a parody of match game. Snatch game of love parodies a whole different show with a whole different premise. Idk maybe it's me just being autistic, but it annoys me
I feel you
Snatch Game At Sea in S11 was worse
I laughed every time HM riff came during eliminations 😭😭
It wasn’t hard to watch. It was a season clearly set up to make people think Juju was finally going to win when in reality, you knew they only wanted Shea to win.
imagine if AS5 would’ve waited to film till 2020. so the cast would be
All Stars 5:
Jujubee (S2, AS1)
Alexis Matteo (S3, AS1)
Yara Sofia (S3, AS1)
Mariah Paris Balenciaga (S3)
Trinity K Bonét (S6)
Derrick Barry (S8)
Shea (S9)
Miz Cracker (S10)
Ra‘jah O‘Hara (S11)
Jan (S12)
All Stars 6:
Ongina (S1)
Kylie Sonique Love (S2)
Pandora Boxx (S2, AS1)
Jiggly Caliente (S4)
Adore Delana (S6, AS2)
Ginger Minj (S7, AS2)
Eureka! (S9, S10)
Mayhem Miller (S10)
A‘Keria C Davenport (S11)
Scarlet Envy (S11)
in an alternate universe AS5 is existing like that for the better part of
Just about every all stars season after 4 is just helping me respect and worship Naomi Smalls more and more. That woman was not afraid to reach for the knife to make the necessary chops, and honestly some of these bitches could use a spine or two like what she has, used both for backbending in a lip-sync and sending the biggest competition home no questions asked
The second they cut Derrick I knew it was going to be a rough ride.
Jujubee's finale look is still my favourite runway bar none. It is PHENOMENAL and touching.
Derrick Barry should have won PERIOD she was fighting for GAY RIGHTS🎉
And people were killed!
@@PabloEmanuel96 Nobody was killed at Stonwall
@@squeen666 no...b...body was killed?
Alaska was wildly beloved before AS2 began. She had a huge fan base and people only disliked her towards the end because of her tantrum moment and everyone called her a 🐍 lol
I think AS5 was a Bad season… because It was fair (in a way).
Just think about It: when Naomi eliminated Manila E V E R Y B O D Y hate her like 💩 (myself included but I never send her a 💀📩). So, If one Of the AS5 eliminated Shea EVERYONE would be sooooo mad that I Can understand Why the cast select the bottom queen fair enough.
Yes, Production still puts Shea in a pedestal and I dont feel she deserved being crown over Jujubee or Cracker. But the real thing here is that no one wants to eliminated her because Of the fandom.
Not you coming for All Stars 5 when we have All Stars 8💀💀💀
It wasn't the best all stars but it is nowhere near a disaster. I believe some influencers hated it to the guts (which is understandable and no problem per se) and then the hate spread and escalated.
Ps: it has been a long time since I last saw your video and the speech pace has improved a million times! Keep the good work (:
Rumocracy was a mistake!!!
That Hannah Montana sad scene transition music ALWAYS SENDS MEEEE!!🤣🤣🤣😭😭
The season was so obviously setup for Shea to win from the start that it wasn't enjoyable. It plodded along to the expected conclusion.
Alexis was screwed over.
Shea coulee has no charisma. She’s a snooze to watch. She made this season bad. Also jujubee was bad and didn’t even deserve the win that week she won.
Girl. This CURRENT season is a hard watch.
We always forget the final challenge of all star 3, this was the peak of all stars
“After rewatching for a second time after rewatching for a second time.”
I thought I was having a stroke.
What if i said Blair St Clair shouldve won all stars 5? What would you tell me?
I'd tell you to walk in the ocean and never come back
i would tell you that your appointment to the asylum has already been booked
Bob’s coming to get you
if you said alexis on the other hand... we would be cheering
Shea needed a ticket to the all-winners' season because that lipsync for the crown was an awful decision in S9.
if Jujubee won somehow it would have redeemed the entire season instantly
I’m surprised producers didn’t intervene when Derek was getting first eliminated. The season could have been so much more memorable had she stayed longer.
My problem with All Stars is that no season could ever top AS2. I’d rather just rewatch AS2 over and over 😂
