Discussion behind a cut for the spoiler-phobic. :)



Adore: love the dress, but she looks awfully stiff.

Alaska: ooooo, fabulous look! Love the pop of pink gloves, love the swirl on the lining of the cape.

Alyssa: Gorgeous color. I'm not used to seeing her as a blonde, but it's working. I worry that she will fall off her shoes.

Coco: Girl, look how photoshopped you fuckin' look, girl. Airbrushed (un)realness.

Detox: Now this is stunning. The dimensional floral overskirt, the drapey sleeves, the gold leaf "gloves"--wow wow wow.

Ginger: Man in a dress. Which is funny because I don't remember getting that from her before. Her hairline is looking better!

Katya: Weird but compelling. Just like her.

Phi Phi: Also stunning. The maribou sleeves, the brocaded dress, the rich purple sash and cloak. Love it.

Roxxxy: Also very airbrushed. And the skirt hangs oddly. Hrm. Don't like it.

Tatianna: Feels a bit off-theme compared to the others...more modern. It's ok tho.

So one from s.2, one from s.4, five from s.5, one from s.6, two from s.7. Season five WAY overrepresented.

Hey mods, it won't let me tag the post with Tatianna, Alyssa, or Katya. Too many tags?

I would trade Coco for Mariah or Ongina or DeLa in a heartbeat. She didn't do all that well on her season and she hasn't grown exponentially since then. Presumably the "script" will have Alyssa send HER home for BALANCE and RETRIBUTION and DRAMA. Bah. (To be clear, I do not know this, it is not a spoiler, just familiarity with how they like to edit the show!)

Ugh, yeah, Coco's in was most probably the ~drama~ aspect with Alyssa. Now I'm even less enthusiastic to see her in the show. #mehhhhhhh

I would trade out so many of them, honestly. They're are WAY more talented queens they could have chosen, like BenDeLa or Ongina.

This cast was picked for drama, rather than talent.

No worries, speculation is totally acceptable. :P
