In her confessional, Jujubee in turn accuses Alexis of starting shit to get to Cracker. Mayhem Miller and India Ferrah cast aspersions on Cracker’s denials, while Alexis says she’s taking this opportunity as motivation to get to know and trust everyone in the group.
#RUPAULS DRAG RACE ALL STARS SEASON 3 EPISODE 2 CRACKER#
Cracker does apologize, but Alexis notes that that’s useless as Ongina’s already gone (and, from the looks of her Instagram, Ongina and Cracker have not made amends), and accuses Cracker of playing mind games as a strategy. It just crystalizes for me that All Stars 5 is likely going to be more about the story than the challenges-a reversal from Season 12.Īlexis Mateo kicks things off with a heaping helping of reading this week, as she questions what exactly Miz Cracker’s motivations for getting in Ongina’s head were last week.
This episode is still a solid one, with plenty of drama and scheming to go around. The results are pretty mixed across the board, with one queen managing to stand out for her comedy, while one group completely misses the mark. Which makes a lot less sense than clubs in a competition of drag queens! It’s framed as being part of a hotel design show (called Shantay Enjoy Your Stay), but that idea only seems to exist as an excuse for the challenge premise. Instead of being a club, the dolls must design luxury hotel suites. Unfortunately, instead of looking at the success of that episode and thinking it means innovation works, the All Stars 5 team instead took it as a reason to just…replicate the challenge with a new name. It’s where we got iconic bits like Manila Luzon calling out “non-American singer Rita Ora,” and Naomi Smalls and Valentina repeatedly whispering “Club 96.” That challenge may not have been perfect, but it gave us some truly joyful moments-and best of all, it was a totally new kind of Drag Race task. Separated into three groups, that cast of queens had to design themed nightclub spaces, then host a night at said club for the judges. Nothing was more fascinating an experiment, in my opinion, than the club design challenge in Episode 7. It didn’t all work, but there was a spirit of throwing shit at the wall to see what would stick. From the Dating Game take on Snatch Game with Snatch Game of Love to the midseason returning queen challenge featuring a record-setting four lip sync battles, the producers seemed game to try new things all season. RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4, for all its foibles (“Winner winner, two chicken dinners!”), was an innovative season when it came to challenge design.
