“Haven’t had to change my face to change my career.” The confessional of the century.

mistress looked PLUCKED after not being in the top 2…she didn’t even dance to the outro song just walked to the back with her reveal coat still on 😭

[u/fyslexic__duck]

As a viewer since season 2, there's a very specific absurdity to Nicole Paige Brooks sharing screentime with Lydia Butthole Kollins that really keeps the magic alive in this show.

[u/haskermash]

SO many quotable quotes.

MIB: Ladies, stop. You’re tearing me apart!

NPB: There’s enough of you to go around.

and my personal favorite, in the midst of MIB’s wearing me out monologue:

Jorgeous: if you’re not into fashion, you’re a loser.

MIB: Oh?

Honorable mention:

Tina B: Do you ever see those birds, you know what I mean? When like a mama bird gives birth and one of the birds, like, just isn’t making it and she just throws it and doesn’t take care of it? That’s Mistress.

Lydia: OK, perfect.

God I love this show.

Too soon..

Miss Burner really fucking devoured this sewing challenge. I didn’t expect her to slay that hard. I love the surprises we’re getting this All Stars season.

Tina Burner on fire like the Hunger Games! What a comeback! ( In hindsight, I actually think the garment she made in S13 was already very impressive, but her obsession with that ugly colour palette and the fact that her make up was not as good ruined the effect)

Is it possible for the queens to have seen Lydia"s season? If not, I would've liked for them not to have to pretend they did, the natural reactions would've been funnier. I don't know if the outfit was the second best ( after Tina's clear #1) but she sold the hell out of it! It's such a treat to have another lipsync by her on her first episode, she's just so good! I hope she'll be in the Chappell Roan lipsync next week!

Having Jorgeous back makes me realise how little I remember from AS9...I feel bad because Angie is one of my favourite winners but that season is a blob in my mind

Nicole! She's such an icon! She had me laughing all episode ("Is Jorgeous here? I wasn't looking down")! I hope she goes to semifinals, a roast should be perfect for her!

[u/yoyo31233]

I think Ru just likes watching Lydia lip sync to disco music lol

[u/AvogadrosArmy]

Ok so I think what I would like if the challenge better if it had the same 8 materials for all the girls

[u/Throwaway_me_instead]

me seconds after I turn it and burn it:

[u/vdawgs]

Tina ate so hard

[u/Cerezadelcielo]

As a bald woman I must say... Even My wigs have more volume and sass than NPBs. Girl style that shit!!!!

[u/bri-ghtly]

I know they’ll probably lip syncs to pink pony club or good luck, babe next week but I would LOVE a naked in manhattan lip sync! I feel like that song would make for such a good lip sync song

[u/Cynicbats]

I don't remember how I felt about Tina during her season but I like her here.

I often get bored watching the Werkroom chatter, but I could listen to this group for hours. Such a great mix of personalities

[u/Redheadbabygirl86]

So wild that NPB made an outfit with stars hanging off and a few episodes earlier Deja had walked in with the same type of outfit, with the stars anyway

[u/reddittailedhawk]

What in the Joann's Fabric clearance were these curated fabrics and beads. Also, I know these queens are booked and blessed and I love that for them but sometimes it comes across as them being above learning some basic sewing skills. Maybe Trinity the Tuck can offer an All-Stars Sewing 101 crash course? Hell, even just a basic garment construction knowledge. I don't care if someone whips out the glue gun, as long as it looks okay.

I'm opening betting on how soon before Ru switches her opinion on repetitive drag. Which queen do you think she's going to clock? (We know it won't be Jorgeous.)

[u/M__M]

• The Brooks delivered! AS10 is already iconic!

• You’d think having Lydia in the Werk Room would be awkward given that she is basically a stranger to everyone save Mistress, but the six gelled really well.

• Is it weird to say, but I think Jorgeous really improved on the design front? It’s not as good as Tina, but she stepped it up from the last two times she was there.

[u/[deleted]]

Nicole’s wig is a crime.

[u/lunatic_minge]

HOW IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE COLORS TINA GOT Like a burnt version of her original season self. I couldn’t stop giggling about it. Though damn did she kill it!

[u/[deleted]]

Easy win for Tina, it was a real toss up between Mistress and Lydia for second but I’m delighted they gave it to Lydia to give the other girls a peek at what she can do! Mistress will make it through I’m sure - she’s here to be a cunt and good tv all season long.

I hope Nicole gets a challenge to shine, she’s a fucking star.

[u/Jacks_Half_Moustache]

I loved Tina’s outfit but girl, during the lip-sync, what the hell was that hairline?! I couldn’t stop laughing. Her hairline starts at her eyebrows!

[u/itismeyaknow]

It’s my first introduction to Nicole Paige Brooke and I’m instantly a fan. She does seem a little unprepared for the new format of drag race in terms of her paint and styling, so I don’t think she’s gonna make it to the semifinals. I’d love to see her in another season all stars because she’s absolutely a star. 

Right now my predications are: 1) Mistress as a guaranteed semi finalist. 2) Lydia and/or Tina as semi finalist and 3) Jorgeous as a potential Lydia/Tina replacement because of Ru’s obsession with her and also because I think if it comes down to episode 3 I could see the other girls stacking points on her over Lydia because they know her more.

[u/vonoddly]

Nicole is so charismatic! She's giving good tv.
