Nooo I miss the “I’m not a smoke break, it’s a ballad and you’ll stay”

[@00georgios00]

It quickly became my fave! 😢 #bringitback

[@RyokoAsakuraLastFan]

​@@00georgios00 Sames

[@Syren020]

I’m assuming she’s going to cycle the quotes so it doesn’t get too repetitive

[@michaelclarke1737]

angeria was lip syncing to million dollar bill and jorgeous was lip syncing to i wanna dance with somebody.

[@vinnym5607]

Lol.

[@joshuaklub3786]

why is no one talking about plastique fully getting away with just flat out sailor star cosplay on the main stage? I love it and just want more people to acknowledge it.

[@jamessiale2390]

For real She was out there as someone who saved the universe. So good!

[@vinnym5607]

I'm surprised Nina didn't say anything but she already isn't feeling this season and won't even talk about Gottmik's runways because of the insane backlash she got a few years ago.

[@offbalanceg]

@@vinnym5607I noticed that she was skipping straight over their looks

[@gunnerlala]

i think it isn't being mentioned maybe because its too deep of a cut for a casual sailor moon fan. sailor stars didn't come along until closer to the end of the series so likely only people that watched the whole thing front to back would even know about them or recognize that reference

[@jensilvo]

My thoughts exactly lol

[@kidkytes6233]

Plastique is dressed as Sailor Star Fighter from Sailor Moon with her girl group. I'm surprised she managed to wear it with copyright.

[@Deklein300]

My point of view since the outfit wasn't called the original name and the hairstyle was different enough, they could have escaped the copyright. That's how most Halloween costumes from official characters have off brand names like Fred Flintstone costume could be called Cartoon Caveman but I could be wrong.

[@TheDopekitty]

Every time ru talks about the badge towards the end of episode 1 and into episode 2 it gets progressively more like Simone talking about the flag factory. Also there's a little ting! after she says it every time lol

[@jacobhill9430]

I think of Simone everytime she says it.

[@tuckerm101]

When Shannel said her perfume was called Shannel #1, I was hoping someone or keke would’ve made a scream queens reference, missed opportunity 😭

[@TheDopekitty]

When ru mentioned you don't want to smell Shannel number 2, my brain went to number one is pee😅

[@NickyGuaii-xs3er]

​@@TheDopekitty Yeah that was the point of the joke

[@Abe_CC]

Taiga is actually really successful in Mexico n she actually speaks Spanish. It makes sense she got the gig❤

[@a.m.b.e.r]

It’s the ruby snippers. Like ruby slippers a la Judy garland. It makes sense.

[@vinnym5607]

Kind of but for me, oversized scissors represent breaking ground on a project (could be associated with a good cause/charity). It's all stretch for sure.

[@michaelclarke1737]

all stars 9 is really, really good despite it being a non elimination season.the queens and production are delivering so far. i hope it remains this way for the entire season.

[@sionellmccubbin953]

I think they brought in queens that love the show and have something to prove to the fandom (except Angeria maybe). They did something similar with all stars 6 and passionate/driven queens cancel out the lackluster format every time!!

[@callyfoot]

I was honestly worried episode 1 with the critiques when nothing negtive was said. But in the ball they got into real critiques so im much more hopeful for the season

[@lrgcokewithlemon]

I agree!! I wasn’t sure, but this feels much better than 7 already. Also, this cast across the board made me smile after episode 1 because I just realized how much I genuinely really, really like everyone.

[@michaelclarke1737]

​@@sionellmccubbin953this too!!!

[@michaelclarke1737]

​@@callyfootexactly. i was delighted to see the amount of critiques they received too.

[@johnjacobs4839]

Guys cmon, Nina sounded great in her verse. Incredible voice. Stop pandering.

[@brinthorne]

OMG, that Amanda Tori Meeting stinkface paddle is EVERYTHING

[@michaelclarke1737]

i'm happy to see that mik improved their lip syncing skills

[@a.m.b.e.r]

I hate how negative everyone is being about that lip sync! Plastique didn’t know the words, didn’t emote, and was dancing well but not for that song. Mik gave it their all, which yeah, isn’t always super impressive when it comes to performing, but there was emotion, humor and connection to the judges. Looking at Gottmik IS the performance 😍

[@vinnym5607]

Easily her best lip sync but I can't help thinking how great it would've been with Roxy or even Nina.

[@Khastrx]

Kinda want Plastique to lip sync again because you can just tell majority of the other queens would also beat her too. These days, looks alone don't win a competition whether it's for charity or not.

[@StarkidPhil]

I've been refreshing for so long, waiting for this to drop!

[@kendallnash2880]

🤣🤣🤣 same

[@danielaaronmartinez8958]

Sameeeeee❤❤❤

[@moonstoneuniverse8516]

My top 2 would have been Angie and Plastique for Ep1

[@lrgcokewithlemon]

Easily.

[@michaelclarke1737]

plastique's verse was 5th best after angeria, jorgeous, vanjie and nina. be fr.

[@callyfoot]

I would have done plastique and jeorgeous. But plastique was my number 1 I was shocked

[@moonlightbae6143]

@@michaelclarke1737”teeny eeny waist with a huge empire, Face, heart and hair, set the world on fire” don’t lie it was one of the best verses

[@miguelafernandess]

Love Gotmik but I feel like her first look, being a total look from Versace it's just not fair compared to the others queens that created a look from scratch for the ball... like I never like seeing looks from fashion designers into the runway, it takes me out of the drag sphere into something else... second and third look ATE. Plastique was the clear Top 1. All looks impecable and the body illusion she created was just so well-done.

[@Lisa-kf4iu]

Same. I thought it was kind of boring, too, compared to some of the other looks. I also can't stand that she could hardly walk in the second dress, no matter how beautiful it was.

[@miguelafernandess]

@Fluf-bh8op what I mean is that the look was part of a collection conceived by someone else (my guess Donatella and her team) for the purpose to fit another concept... not a single concept conceived by the queen in collaboration with a drag designer to fit the prompt, to me it is almost like cheating, getting a head to toe look from a designer from a pre-existing collection. She's so creative, she doesn't need looks from Donatella anyway! Same with Kerri Colby when she modelled the look for J.Lo runway > just lazy

[@Lisa-kf4iu]

@Fluf-bh8op Who dragged what up in their style? Just curious because the Versace look is very similarly styled to the runway.

[@leomc5595]

Does anyone else think the "beautiful benefactoress badge" is using symones fleg fectry bit in the way theyre saying it

[@ricenorim]

100%%%

[@gregatkins2156]

Maybe I’m crazy, but i LOVED shannel’s look she made!!! Especially considering she hand painted everything and all the ombres, I think it is doing the most in the best way.

[@paigiepoohluv]

same I loved it! I thought the color palette was gorgeous and the fact that she even painted the crystals hanging off it was so cool to me! it was fun, asymmetrical, and a different vibe than we normally get from Shannel I love it!

[@pseudonymous9153]

You are crazy

[@LM11116]

Am I crazy for loving Shannel's design look

Living for the Amanda paddle

[@james510762]

Thank you for mentioning Nymphia performing in the presidential office. The speech from the president and Nymphia were both very touching. 🇹🇼

[@markbunch2720]

I love all of your co-hosts, but why was I over the moon to see Scarlett back on my screen? Like she had been gone for a decade.

[@ikjlful]

Plastic was also a sailor star healer in the girl group challenge

[@Blessi85]

plastiques girlgroup outfit was everything too

[@scottsummers4234]

Gottmik's Signature Fragrance runway is a custom LOEWE!!! I think she spent more than 75k for her runways this season 😂

[@11pyrrhus11]

Yeah, exactly why I would have blocked her in episode one rather than Roxxxy. When watching the first episode without knowing what week 2 would be, I had a strong feeling it would be a ball and there was no way Gottmik would not be one of the top two for the ball.

[@caa6909]

Mama kudos for finally uploading

[@user-gv5vx2dx1m]

In times when I feel like ending my life guys I see ur videos and feel so welcome and accepted even tho I don't know u o feel like u guys are my best friends so funny so natural and so human ❤ thank you for uplifting all the down souls with ur content and chemistry I really feel glad I get to know ur content thank you so much ❤❤

All stars 9 is so far amazing! I am loving the new fresh feeling of it. The menses always call me new and fresh as well... teehee

[@giu442]

So nice seeing you acknowledging how amazing was Xmen 97!!!

[@lrgcokewithlemon]

I was excited to see Plastique’s television glow up, then we saw the jaw dropping promo, then we see ALL of her looks these episodes??? My unchanging front runner if she can pull off comedy. Promo. Entrance. Rumix. Scent. Monochrome. Reference. Painted. Lipsync. TENS.

[@IceColdGrotto]

Love that new Amanda Tori Meating paddle!

[@condolife6507]

Nina's verse was great.

[@julietigermoon9572]

Loving this , so many great runways so far💃

[@TheDopekitty]

Jinkx as Maestro was SOOOO good! I have hope she'll be back for one reason that's difficult to elaborate on without explaining the whole episode

[@ame_thyst_99]

I usually agree with basically everything but this time I don’t! Idk if I’m crazy but, as for now the only Roxxxy outfit I liked is the one she Made in episode two. Especislly the blue one in the first episode and the clock one I didn’t like. Also Jorjeous’ runway for the first episode I thought was pretty but nothing incredible, especislly before the reveal, i thought it was a weird shape. Also, I know it was messy but I actually liked shannel paint look. I thought the color pallette she did was so pretty. Also i really liked the lipsync of episode two. Plastique was pretty off but i actually really really liked Gottmik’s lipsync. I feel like these are pretty unpopolar opinions lol

[@markbunch2720]

I agree. I thought the fabric that the blue dress was made out of looked cheap. Honestly though Roxxxy Andrews is so legendary that there will be a lot of Roxxxy colored glasses.

[@Dalidude1]

ruby snippers (it's a pun on slippers)

[@RyokoAsakuraLastFan]

*Loves Shannel's Paintball Look*

[@AKayt-nm2yc]

The thought of Nina and Roxxxy doing that lipsync 😮❤. It would have been amazing but those two were clear winners

[@flippedwafflesokurr728]

I loved the Ruby Snippers reference to the Wizard of Oz 😂

Thank you for the video mera and scarlet !!!

[@mattgeiler8665]

y'all are kinda giving the all-stars promo theme this week

[@TexErinSydney]

My top two for ep1 was Angie and Plastique and felt Angie’s win was 100% deserved. Roxxxy’s voiceover for her perfume had me cackling!

[@anna86381]

Anyone else love Shannel’s final look? Those colors were awesome, the dark blue with the yellow and orange was stunning

[@ping4d064]

did anyone else notice shannel wearing the same thing sapphira wore for the true colors runway but in orange? she ate with that for the girl group

[@ricenorim]

I swear everytime rupaul said “ruby snippers” I heard “ruby slippers” every single time

[@deanwright350]

Happy daysss

[@bongojones67]

New drinking game, have a shot every time Scarlett adjusts the girls 😂

[@jay-dubb.dubb.68]

😮🎉 🍻

[@ItsFrankielicious]

I loved that in the girl group challenge Plastique Tiara was wearing a sailor moon outfit, specifically the sailor starlights from the last season / cosmos movies.

[@kimanderson2359]

The scissors was called "The Ruby Snippers" like the ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz. I think the scissors are better than the platinum plunger as well.

[@justicefischer3794]

“I’m not a smoke break, it’s a ballad and you’ll stay” is the most iconic Mera quote. Removing it from the intro… giiiirl branding choices! 😬🤣 lol jk i love y’all tho

[@Eleanor_E]

I love that you already have an Amanda Tori Meating paddle 😂

[@condolife6507]

Not a big Vanjie fan but I was doubled over when I saw her perfume presentation. Hilarious!

[@bijouclochard2948]

I think "beautiful benefactress" is a play on Symone's comic accent from the "Flag Factory" skit.

[@timrussell2480]

I'm loving the new Amanda Tori paddle!!!

[@ghostrouxinol6169]

Not Plastique being one of Star Starlights from Sailor Moon Franchise 's Pop Idol/ first male Sailor Senshi (90s Anime)

[@masinmancy77]

It's not the ruby red scissors, it's the Ruby snippers. Like Ruby slippers. It's a much better pun

[@andrewlocke6103]

Listen, I know it's wrong, but there's ~something~ about Shannell's design look that I just can't hate. It's fun! The random painted chains and stuff feel so silly but it works for me. Feels Laganja coded somehow.

[@dylanthompson5421]

Omg please watch Jinkx’s ep of Doctor Who, I would love to hear your thoughts !!!

[@cloudstrife1981]

Love your videos Mera & Scarlet. You’re both so amazing. Just wanted to make sure you stay awesome. The scissors they are using are called “The Ruby Snippers.” It’s a play on words for the Ruby Slippers Dorothy wore in “The Wizard of Oz” movie. And I think that goes even deeper because RuPaul loves that movie. 😀👍🏻👸🏻🏳️‍🌈

[@magnustelbor8423]

Mera looking stunning 😮❤

[@ItsMeDuh2022]

The Ruby Snippers make so much more sense to me than the Platinum Plunger 😂 I’m glad they figured something out

[@TimothyMorigeau]

I’m surprised they didn’t mention the Sailor Moon outfit Plastique wore.

[@markbunch2720]

Love Plastique. But in the first untucked episode, was it my TV or was the sides of her wig glued to her cheeks? I couldn't not see it.

[@zenithian15]

Not gonna lie - I wasn't impressed by Plastique on Season 11, so I wasn't expecting much from her. But this time around... GAGGED! She is showing up to compete, and I'm really looking forward to seeing her growth each week. As for the Snatch Game, I expect Nina to do well, but I also wouldn't count out Gottmik, Roxxxy, Plastique, Angeria, or even Shannel. (Jorgeous and Vanjie are probably the least likely to excel, but I might have to eat my words; you never know).

[@reagangulley2104]

I love Angeria ! oh and GottMik and Plastique ate the ball.. loved Mik’s looks and Plastiques yellow and black and her made look .. perfection! Also love roxxxy

[@TheDeonJackson]

Idk y’all those Roxy looks weren’t for me

[@jacobhill9430]

Right! The red one.... look how wonky her boobs are......

[@MakuraZalis]

Maestro ends up being the child of a villain and part of a legion. Maestro might come back but Doctor who has long term plots. Lol

[@lowwfeh]

The thing about Valentina is that the looks were stunning but it was kind of hard to watch in Spanish her struggling to speak the language every time we saw her on screen

[@charlielew2933]

The main complaint I had about the girl group challenge was that there were too many people on the stage, especially with the male dancers up there as well. It looked really messy. They needed to break them up into 2 groups. I miss the small girl group challenges like UK seasons 1 & 2 where there were only 3-4 in a group. Any more and it’s easy for it to look messy.

[@mkultra326]

For me, The girl group ranking: 1. Jorgeous 2. Plastique 3. Gottmiik 4. Vanjie 5 Angie 2.0 6. Roxxxy 7. Nina 8. Shannel Runway perfume branding: 1. Plastique 2. Gottmik 3. Roxxxy ( only cos i live for the commentary) 4. Angeria 5. Shannel 6. Jourgeous 7. Nina 8. Vanjie

[@jay-dubb.dubb.68]

[@Maxikarp2]

You forgot to paddle Vanjie’s ball collection 😂

[@YoBBMelissa]

Plastique had a cape, if you’ll look closely. Not all capes should be long….

[@tryingtobesocial906]

I’m rooting for vanjie

[@CarlosGarcia-ds9dn]

Plastique should have been in the top on both episodes, but I’m glad she at least got it once

[@Nicolasmlago]

They officially named allstars 9 drag queen save the world right?? Maybe they really gonna do themed seasons

[@geckohunter123]

There’s something about Knowing Gottmik spent so much on these looks that makes it feel cold and disperate that I don’t really get wowed by her amazing looks as I thought I would. Like it’s hard to appreciate her when my first thought is “oh Gottmik has a lot of money.”

[@MaruEien]

I dont think Shannel's design look was that bad, it wasnt the best but it looked good.

[@kortneyk6056]

It might be because I'm from Ohio but I love Nina and I loved her monochromatic look 🥺

[@michaelclarke1737]

at first i was saying vanjie and angeria should have been top 2 but jorgeous' choreo, performance and runway tipped her over when it comes to vanjie. vanjie and jorgeous were neck and neck for #2.

[@ortik4]

Mera, that necklace is driving me crazy! It's fabulous! where did you find it? 🙏

[@danielpalmer1297]

How did we soft yes Vanjies and mess Ninas? And Shannels made look? I think we were watching different shows.

[@charies8520]

This season is definitely gonna have to change my mind about alot 😢. The girls are great, but I already feel like I could just skip to the finale.

[@liammcdavitt]

SCARLET😍

[@stevienicks841]

from her season, I believe Gottmik goes by she/her in drags he/him out of drag, rather than they/them. This was a great couple of opening episodes, some really strong competitors. I like that its a non-elimination season but they are keeping the negative critiques. For episode 2, I was around 20-25 minutes in then said to myself...where is Shannel? I think right now, I love Vanjie but imo she is struggling the most most (all around). I thought there were multiple contenders for the win both episodes (E1: Vanjie, Angie, Jorgeous, Plastique; E2: Mik, Roxxxy, Plastique, Angie

[@Khastrx]

You can tell Vanjie is just there for a good time, and the only way producers could keep her the entire season was making it non-elimination. She is good TV and that's alright 🙂

[@scottgillis7369]

vanjie looked like salazar slytherine if he slayed

[@moonstoneuniverse8516]

See Gottmik’s ball package is what we thought we were going to get on 13

Gottmiks S13 package remains one of the strongest runway packages of a regular season.

People drag season 11 so much, but the girls from that season keep on coming back and showing that season was actually lowkey one of the most stacked casts ever. The season I think just didn’t represent some of them properly.

[@PrisonHoney96]

I mean you have Yvie for all winners, Brooke hosting CDR, A’Keria getting robbed on AS6, Silky becoming one of the most reputable lip syncers ever and nearly winning CVTW, Vanjie being on every TV show ever and now AS9, Ra’jah slaying AS6 and winning CVTW, Scarlet slaying UKVTW2, Kahanna getting redemption on AS8, Nina being a huge workhorse queen and now AS9, and now also Plastique coming out of the gate hot on AS9.

[@BeIlG]

Does gorges know that there are more online shopping stores than temu. That monochrome was not even a look. It was weed crafts bought on temu and glued to a cheap body suit. oof. We know the weed is where her money has gone lol.

[@callyfoot]

I feel like roxxy could have won the ball over mik. Im not mad at miks win but i just really didnt think that mik had an elevated enough monochrome outfit. Compared to roxxy who killed every catagory. While mik probably had the look of the night with on the second catagory i feel like roxxy also made a more technically impressive look

[@Inki_Inc]

Mik definitely had the stand out look of the night, but Roxxxy definitely deserved top 2 over her.
