the fact that bob never got to do a stand up challenge on her season is a crime

[@iamvovka]

exactly. and yet they had 3 design challenges 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@lostblueboy]

honestly season 7 and 8 and 9 were weirdly designed....since there were barely any design and fashion challenges on season 7....the season of violet, miss fame, pearl, max. season 8 barely had any comedy or stand up or roast challenges when there was fucking bob the drag queen, thorgie, cynthia, kim chi and so many others. and season 9....had barely any dance and lipsync challenges when they were in the presence of shea coulee, peppermint, fucking sasha velour, valentina, aja. like....its so wild.

[@kfkm]

@@lostblueboy YES I agree it was not casted correctly for the season they had in mind.

[@lostblueboy]

@@kfkm ....no, the casts were good....the challenges werent made for the casts.

[@hugoponce1712]

"RuPaul is so old I told her to act her own age. Bitch, she died" that was fucking gold lmfaooo

[@ingGS]

That was a good one. Kandy really killed it, although I thought Rosé was going to win, production did her dirty… the critique was she was “too professional” and “it was funnier during rehearsals”, wtf.

[@charliez077]

@@ingGS rosé WAS better during the rehearsal tho! Even her stadium joke was better in the original version. And Kandy had a great energy, Rosé was a little too stiff.

[@ingGS]

@@charliez077 I get your point, but still production did Rosé dirty more than once. They tried to push a "relationship" with Denali and she clearly said she had a boyfriend, then they tried to push for a rivalry with Olivia and it was clear she respected the young drag queen... Rosé was not playing the game and production didn't like that.

[@giuliosanseverino277]

That was also STOLEN from one of Lady Bunny's stand ups a few years earlier.

[@briansherrod1916]

Jinkx ate and left no crumbs. Everything she did was hilarious. Truly a star!

[@xisco5525]

@@dwell7315 The thing is, while the line is indeed brutal, I at least had absolutely no strength left on my abdomen to laugh at it after such a hylarious stand-up. My god, every line was pure gold lol

[@issacw.5699]

That AS7 stand up challenge has to be one of the best stand up challenges ever. The queens were on the verge of killing Ru

[@joaneprada4433]

season 5 is my favorite.. coco making ru absolutely lose it with her "hurricane katrina" joke 😂

[@t_ylr]

The most PC stand up set Bianca has ever done 🤣

[@josiptito9412]

as someone who has been to one of her live shows... very that

[@sansthedrummer]

And it was still hilarious. Been to two of her shows already, and die laughing every time!

[@KatieLHall-fy1hw]

Love Bianca!

[@rithond]

She really undestood the assignment and how she had to tone it down for the audience and still make it funny. She's such a pro!

[@ashyadanae1313]

Every single joke ever that Jinkx tells, lands. She’s a star

[@plc9359]

It was all winners. Of course they had to edit out the flop jokes. But jinkx honey, she is a star ✨

[@Frances86]

12:22 Ross is not a top… he’s a blouse! So simple yet so freakin funny 😂

Was he the one who screamed ,,tell us a joke" at Ben?

[@aletskun3877]

"I was a chubby kid, and I know what body shaming can do to a person... IT WEEEERKS!" This is just hilarious to me every single time 😹😹😹

[@filming4you___]

i died!

[@Valreea]

I really wish we could see full unedited sets from these queens. I can only imagine the hilarious jokes from Bianca and Jinkx left on the cutting room floor.

[@bryh555]

The "Ive become my mother" joke is genuinely my favorite joke in all of drag race

[@nenaddimi8319]

I may be bias but no one can do comedy as good as Jinkx. There wasnt a moment where people werent laughing at her improvs and comedy challenges

[@SerdarAltinn]

Very that! Same as Bob! This two are literally impeccable!

[@nenaddimi8319]

@@SerdarAltinn yes Bob and Katya but for me Jinkx is no.1 I expected her to be amazing on all stars 7 but she just blew me away

She and Bianca

Bianca, Jinkx and Bob, the holy trinity ♥️

[@ggoddf5889]

yeah you are probably biased

[@flowergirl4612]

I love how Ruaughs even when she's the one the joke is about. I love her personality and how she holds herself.

[@jerrygarcia31]

When jinkx called her a kinky bitch. Ru side eyed her and was like where is this going, jinkx-ie? Idk if I’m the only one who saw it and got scared for her. 😂

[@mentonerodominicano]

Bosco killed it with that "hunter and gatherer" joke. 🤣 And the way Miz Cracker flipped fat shaming on its head lives rent free on my mind.

[@Henriqueeu]

The editing on Alyssa/Alaska set is funnier than the jokes

[@Mitch-Alex]

I think Alaska's one word responses got old after the second response. Let face it, Alyssa carried 95% of that set.

[@connaeris8230]

@@Mitch-Alex well it's Alyssa that had to prove herself, not Alaska. I didn't mind it

[@MrAlexman3]

Even that one frame they used before Alyssa even utters a word with the queens already laughing....and then using it again....weird

[@JB-yr4kv]

@@Mitch-Alex Alaska put together the routine to ensure that Alyssa excels. Katya talked about it on her review show - it was all Alaska.

[@zyongli5760]

I am slightly convinced that they BOMBED pretty bad but the editors did magic.

[@TheQueerNuii]

“Rupaul is so old when I told her to act her age, she died” GETS ME EVERY TIME 😂

[@caitthecat]

It was especially great when Lady Bunny first said it all those years ago.

[@charliez077]

@@caitthecat Kandy's set was almost 100% recycled but you can't take away from her that she actually KILLED the delivery. and frankly - recycled jokes at RPDR roasts is a whole Pandora's Box... even Jinkx did it.

[@ajsan2001]

"Ross isn't a top, he's a blouse" kills me every time

[@thoseriseofkingdomsadswith972]

The fact that Coco won a roast when both Alaska and Jinkx were there.. ICONIQUE. Bring her back now. We got Ginger, Coco deserves another shot after her talent show flopped cos they didn't allow her to do Janet Jackson.

[@EclipseHighroller]

Except most don’t think she deserved to win that challenge. And I concur. On top of that, coco is one of the least liked queens.

[@charliez077]

​@@EclipseHighrollerBS, Coco is an icon and she slayed that (Jinkx' is the slightly overrated roast from S5)

[@kingspawn1402]

@@charliez077 Jinkx won that though, Coco's not even that funny

[@lucaspaiva6814]

The "let's just be cousins" joke is my favorite of all time

[@ivanbetofe]

It was just missing the legendary "it's gonna be hard to top Coco...". I guess Jinkx killed it then and now.

[@toniolops]

the "thank you Farrah Moan" always gets me 😂😂🤣🤣 thank YOU Peppermint 😘

[@pulloya8015]

the way jinkx politely ATE everybody

[@Jade-gg9ek]

Monsoon season and it never stopped

[@fuckinghugepablo]

thw way I can perfectly hear trinity saying LETS JUST BE COUZINS in her voice ASKSNXNSN

[@TheEyeSeesAll]

Jinks and Bianca. Best winners, best comedians. All were very funny though!

[@Jessiecruz88]

They should included jinx saying “well look at her, who would want to top Coco”

[@DEvaTV.OrgOficial]

BEAAASSST!!! Will forever be LEGENDARY! Michelle's reaction,, priceless! And the way Alyssa looks at Michelle,,,, ICONIC!!!

[@stonewallperformance]

Everybody laughing hard while Michelle looks like she’s about to jump them is the best! Lmao

[@LubiczPolkrwi]

"If you hated my corsets, I'm sure you're gonna love her swimsuits" I forgot how shading Rupaul was consistent theme among contestants and she didn't even noticed, amazing.

Coco saying, “you knew Michelle, when Michelle was Michael,” takes me out 😂

"Ross is not a top, he`s a blouse" still sends me

[@SadBoy-qo6px]

Alyssa strutting circles around Alaska in those kitten heels is sending me 😭😭💀💀

[@pembrokelove]

Idk why, but my favorite thing in any of the stand up / roast challenges was right when Willow came out and thanked Jorgeous with "didn't she try her darndest!" I just thought it was so quick, smart, and funny. Love it.

[@ktasty221]

The hunter/gatherer joke gets me everytime 🤣

[@moosedraw3731]

Michelle looked so hurt by Alyssa saying beast. And Alyssa did not see that read coming.

[@ellebarto154]

They should honestly slap this audio on a record and snatch the comedy album Grammy

[@connaeris8230]

The editors showing Alexis after Alaska's "BAM" and Lady Camden after the UK joke deserve a high placement

[@sambostic8039]

To this day Coco is my favorite.

[@sterlnggrzzly7127]

LITERALLY. So underrated.

The way Darienne Lake should've been included in this!!

They only showed the winners of the respective challenges

[@harkangel0067]

I need a roast battle between Jinkx, Bianca and Bosco keep going in life. Also, add Alaska, DeLa, Darienne, Latrice and Shangela to the mix and you have the best drag show ever.

[@KatieLHall-fy1hw]

Bianca would win

[@melliebellie13]

I’m so happy peppermint is on this, I love her so much ❤

“This is the Olympics of drag, and bitch you the stadium!” 😂 I love Alyssa’s “beast” joke has everybody cracking up but Michelle is giving her the Death stare lol
