[biscuits]

Can we have a general discussion thread pls? I don't see one already

My fav lip sync, forever always

[Thriller]

Yes, that one is brilliant. Dida Ritz killed it.

I also love this, despite Roxxy:

and this for Manila:

I'm the only one who doesn't care about that Manila one

The Roxy bus stop story

[Thriller]

A highlight of AS2.

My favourite runway look, forever always. My jaw literally dropped when I saw it. Had to double take because I just couldn't get over it

I wanted to post Peppermint doing Music as a favourite but there's only a sped up version on YT.

One of my favourite lip syncs. I think they both did so well and Alaska's makeup was made for it



Also I agree with Detox in the season 5 reunion, my favourite runway look ever too. I was new to the show then and when I seen it I literally couldn't believe my eyes. Just incredible

^ That one is hilarious, I love it!

My all-time favourite lip sync is this one though:

Ranking (best to least best):

#1. Season 5
#2. All Stars 2
#3. Season 4
#4. Season 3
#5. Season 6
#6. Season 8
#7. Season 7
#8. Season 2
#9. All Stars 1

All Stars 1 isn't necessarily bad, I just really hated the format, thank god they fixed it for AS2. Also I don't mind season two, it has a really authentic, raw feel to it, but it just looks so messy compared to later seasons. I can't comment on the blur that is season one, as I haven't been able to watch it anywhere.

I wouldn't say there are any bad seasons, each ones has it's highlights and lowlights.

[biscuits]

I haven't seen S1 either. Would anybody say it's important that I watch it?

Winners:
1. Raja (my favourite forever always. I'm IN love with him)
2. Bob The Drag Queen
3. Sharon Needles
4. Bianca Del Rio
5. Tyra Sanchez
6. Violet Chachki
7. Jinkx Monsoon (I f*****g hate her)

[biscuits]

I think S5 is commonly considered the best but it wasn't for me. I remember not really getting into it until a few episodes in. The Coco vs. Alyssa angle was the first time the show felt really scripted to me. Plus it had the worst winner ever so that really dents it. Tbh, I didn't really like anybody in this season

[crazycool]

Good idea to open a general discussion thread!

This is by far my favourite lip sync.... just EVERYTHING!



--

I saw Naomi Smalls perform last night! I was never rooting for her in S8 but she looks so mesmerising in person - she's a great lip syncer I gott say!

ALSO! Does anyone wanna take on the task of doing UKMIX's ultimate drag race queen countdown ?

I had considered it!

[biscuits]

I'm gonna admit that I still haven't seen AS2. But I've just started episode 1

4. Raja

Season :
1. Allstars 2
2. Season 5
3. Season 4
4. Season 6
5. Season 7
6. Season 2
7. Allstars 1
8. Season 8
9. Season 3

I never watched S1 so can't comment on the season or it's winner.

I really don't think Season 5 can be topped for a non Allstars season.

[biscuits]

Why do you rank S3 the bottom?

[JimJim]

I'm gonna admit that I still haven't seen AS2. But I've just started episode 1

It's basically Season 5: Roman Reloaded: The Ru-up

[Ewokguy15]

Why do you rank S3 the bottom?

I didn't really like any of the queens and the whole heathers thing annoyed me.

[biscuits]

Season 3 is my fav. As I said. I'm in love with Raja but it also had a lot of other big characters like Shangela, Alexis, Manila, Carmen, etc. It also had the best challenges IMO but that's because I prefer design over comedy and acting

[Ewokguy15]

Carmen was so boring!!!!

I did like Manila though.

[biscuits]

Yeah Carmen was crap but was part of the storyline. And was hot as a guy

[Thriller]

Season 1 was really enjoyable IMO but quite a different show from what we're used to now. The budget must have been quite a lot lower. Bebe was the obvious winner from the start really and I howled at the facial expressions during the girl group challenge. Tammie Brown was a mess, Nina Flowers was quite a striking contestant.

For me, Season 5 will probably not be beat as the best non-Allstars season, I loved Jinkx too. I'd probably rank them:

1. AS2
2. Season 5
3. Season 4
4. Season 6
5. Season 3
6. Season 7
7. Season 2
8. AS1
9. Season 8
10. Season 1

Winners:

1. Sharon Needles
2. Jinkx Monsoon
3. Alaska
4. Bianca Del Rio
5. Bob The Drag Queen
6. Bebe Zahara
7. Violet Chachki
8. Chad Michaels
9. Tyra Sanchez
10. Raja (can't bear it)
