Drag Race España All Stars [S01E05 - The Hairdresser's Salon] Post-episode discussion thread
(media.kbin.social)
The five semi-finalists take the stage for a roast, cracking jokes and showcasing their humor under classic hairdryers.
For me, some of the non-English seasons have ended up fizzling out before I hit the finale. It has less to do with the quality and more to do with the barrier for entry of having to read the subtitles.
But there have been a few international ones where the judging is so off I can't do it. There was a season (I think Italy?) where the queen they loved literally couldn't walk in heels. They even gave her that feedback at one point, but her drag was also crunchy compared to everyone. I think she made it to top 3. It was baffling!
But mainline Drag Race can be terrible, too.
Season 13 made me say I would never watch drag race again. I'm glad I caved and watched 14 after it aired because all the seasons since have been great.
And All Stars 8 is one I quit midway through. I get it that they needed to hand Jimbo a crown but I can't stand production's love of Kandy Muse.
What was it about s13 that turned you off? I like Kandy but what made me quit AS8 was how it became more and more obvious that it was made for Jimbo to get a crown
I've been meaning to get started on Italy. Should I not for my own sake? lol
Do watch Italia! The seasons are messy as hell but they are fun, and Electra bionic is one fierce mother tucking queen!! There are also quite a few very lovable queens
I’ve started watching Italia and ngl i was gagged when Farida didn’t win, as much as i like Electra too
But gurl the editing on italia season 1 is messy and campy as hell (and i kind of live??)
Hahaha ye I wasn't having it when I watched it, yet somehow I couldn't stop watching it. I'm retrospect it's a great season. Draaaaamma mama Mia!
