[@lemon_pie7347]

alyssa speaks like she's narrating her own documentary and i love it so much

[@lizisasleep]

In her head she absolutely is. Her instagram captions are written for the benefit of future historians for sure.

[@haleypistole]

this absolutely nailed what i’ve been trying to put my finger on this whole time

[@neoncinnamon]

have you watched her show dancing queen?? i thought that when i watched it lol the best

[@jenl7094]

I’m so here for it, and btw can we please get an Alyssa Edwards documentary fr? ❤

[@et873]

⁠@@jenl7094yes how do we make this happen?!?

[@kenneths5960]

"Santino if you're watching this I hope you join the rest of the world and keep watching" 😂

[@maxman2613]

Iconic

[@zjsfiercefame]

Hysterical

[@sarahgilmer6260]

“…in fact, we need to do a wellness check up on Santino Rice…” I am dyingggggg 😭

[@Consumer98201]

She said a wellness check😩😭😭

[@rf1206]

It was the wellness check for me 💀💀💀 santino found *quaking*

[@person954]

I’m so glad she’s representing the USA in the draglympics 🫡

[@katrinamartinez1144]

I couldn't agree more 😂

[@jareddavulture58]

Couldn’t have pick a better queen

[@Emily-gz4cg]

​@@jareddavulture58Who is a better choice to represent US Drag than her then?👀

[@hrtsforvi]

@@Emily-gz4cg reread what they said bc I don’t think they meant that 😭

[@Emily-gz4cg]

​@@hrtsforvi Oops my bad, I see what you mean now, my apologies to that person. 🤣

[@CoolDudeWithGlasses93]

Alyssa is extremely engaging in her storytelling abilities. Insane !

[@BlackMaryMack]

She is very captivating!! 🤩

[@brooke5258]

I've been missing Alyssa's Secret. Glad to see her again.

[@alexanderjuliusrebosura157]

Gurl this is like an audiobook. It's so descriptive 😂😂

[@MiguelAngelGB]

Exactly what I thought! But I loved it for this reason.

[@AndromedonThanks]

I believe an autobiography audible of Justin’s life narrated by Alyssa would be the best thing that ever happened.

[@ty1000]

@@AndromedonThanksI would pay an ungodly amount to hear Alyssa narrate ANYTHING 🤣

[@alex-ib6oy]

especially with no background music or anything 😭

[@AlexLloy]

Fact 😂

[@MyLAEx]

The fact tat she STILL doesn't know that it's "doo-dah" and not "doo-wah" XD. Iconic.

[@zamo9266]

"A lady of Intelligence, Integrity and Energy". She is everything!!!!

[@GoodGuy-wq4md]

Liza Manelli lies! 😂

[@jpgalo99]

Innergy 😂

[@dakotawinchester]

Don't flaunt your foolishness in front of all of her fans, friends, family and folks at home. The absolute effing nerve of you!

[@TheDigitalDanceMediaLibrary]

"You are not a LADY...!!!"

[@simz3192]

A woman for Tom Hanks.

[@isurehopeitdoes]

"water off of a queen's back rolls" I love this so much

[@stargazer_stacey7415]

Yessssss!😂

[@lisacurry2303]

😂😂😂 well played

[@RuubinSelena]

"We need to do a wellness check on Santino" I AM SCREAAAAMING

[@rf1206]

Santino was GATHERED on this day

[@faithruckdeschel1294]

I know the last time I saw him, he was flirting with Violet on S7?

[@haochengchen3566]

“I turned the backrolls into bankrolls." Yassssssssss

[@jpage813]

I’m still gagged and gooped that RuPaul brought Alyssa back just to eliminate her in front of her sister on the anniversary of their mother’s death… Alyssa will always be one of my top favorites, this is everything!

[@megan-1600]

Honestly!! Detox regrets that to this day

[@probablyjoeyy]

It's hilarious. 😂

[@GratitudeGriot]

i like alyssa's perspective tho. she said it was one of the most special moments she had with her sister. 💕

[@MeDusa68]

I think at that point, Ru knew Alyssa needed to go home, be with her family to deal with and work through her grief over mothers passing..

[@jenniboo9441]

Thats such bs. He doesnt know what she needs better than she does ​@MeDusa68

[@lizchesley6028]

That “Ru, never” ALWAYS makes me lol. Omg. 😂

[@Jameslukee]

It’s just soo- 😭😭

[@IsenhourPig]

Same! Alaska says it all the time haha

[@PerkyBoy]

Ru: “but-“

[@Jululuian]

My god she’s SUCH a good storyteller. So eloquent yet dramatic when it’s needed. Her reminiscing the shut up and drive lipsync literally gave me chills lol 💚

[@mohmohlante5809]

I could listen to Alyssa talk for hours, she's so mesmerizing

[@marianos5181]

I love how she is reciting the story as if it was a Christmas Fairytale 😭❤️

[@TarynRMartin]

‘Twas a cold winter’s eve in 2013…

[@valleyofthedawlz]

Season 5 was the best US regular season hands down and Alyssa contributed a lot to that

[@Lyl_Yamoreee]

Don't forget Season 6 and 9!!!

[@doeeyes2]

Yup! My all time fave!

[@miea34]

insane cast in retrospect

[@FutureStar1533]

“Girl look how orange you f*cking loook” ICONIC 😭 1:36

[@thomasgareaubaritone627]

The fact that she served this as a 17 minute monologue is incredible. ❤❤❤❤😂

[@Heyloois]

Alyssa, the amazing storyteller that you are 😭 I just know she’s the narrator of the season yet again and the confessional queen, yet again! AN ICON

[@lesabri]

She is an icon, a legend, she is the moment

[@nicolechance7291]

Now come on now

[@mbrow]

"I was waving to everybody and nobody." I adore Alyssa Edwards.

[@itscooperking]

she speaks like she’s been preparing for this for years💙 so excited to see her evolution on this season

[@asaabrahamagulnik574]

She did say that she would only come back if it was U.S. versus the world

[@Noise_floorxx]

Alyssa is LITERALLY a national treasure.

[@calebbrendlinger8977]

“In my world it’s all about me and everyone else is just a visitor” ICONIC

[@living_croissant6612]

"Winning isn't everything; wanting to is." i need to start living my life like this

[@panicmedusa]

I feel like the people on the other side of this interview were looking at each other like, when did she script this?

[@diabones4746]

Only 57 seconds in and I keep thinking “she’s gonna win!” Even if she doesn’t she still is winning!! My fav artist ever.

[@jordanodwyer6552]

We are all winning just getting more of her!

[@missbutter76]

I don’t think anybody can be a living breathing human and not get extremely excited and passionate when they listen and look at Alyssa Edwards I have never in my life been so inspired.

[@SharronDope]

That Camera dress was everything. And I really am genuinely thrilled everytime you are on my screen. Alyssa Edwards is my reality tv GOAT. ❤

[@kn1feprty729]

It feels like she’s reading me a bedtime story…she’s everything to me

[@Pablorcct]

Alyssa is one of my favorite queens, i'm still upset that Detox was so unfair with her sending her home instead of Roxxy on all stars 2, she should have been top 3 but i'm glaad she's back for global all stars, i hope she wins this time, 'cause she really deserves it ❤

[@LawNerdAmber]

Yuuuuuuuup

[@yayacastro__]

Detox did say she knew Alyssa didn’t deserve to go home and that Roxy did but she just couldn’t do it .

[@TheDolosChannel]

Alyssa hasn’t aged a day since season 5!!! She’s timeless

[@jham5313]

"Delusion"

[@MaaxMarc]

Well....

[@markk8248]

She actually looks much younger now at least in drag

[@philhipp7766]

Plastic surgery? But she indeed looks fabulous

[@emmawaters5531]

Alyssa talks like a southern auntie giving you the family tea at the 4th of July barbacue over sweet tea and it's fantastic

[@levibaraujo5911]

the santino shade i can’tttttt

[@Housewarmin]

She's so poised and polished, I love her.

[@kaytequila]

Her shading Santino Rice took me OUT. ☠️😂🤣

[@felixmeow660]

she's just asking what some Drag Race fans wonder.. whatever happened to Santino Rice?.. could be a future challenge in another season

[@Elemenopi69]

i could listen to her talk for hours

[@andrewallen2870]

"Water off a Queen's backrolls!"

[@WhitfieldSinclair]

Girl!...😂😂😂

[@noellawson41]

I don't know how anyone could not find Alyssa so endearing and loving and charming and adorable ! I could watch her speak about drying paint all day and be over the moon!

[@Emily7778]

Alyssa’s is SO deserving of her spot in the draglymics, mama always has been and will be THE moment

[@ty1000]

I really never thought Alyssa would could back to compete again, purely because she’s so incredibly successful already but I couldn’t be happier to have her on my screen again ❣️

[@willib7584]

Hello from France. Just a small comment on how much I love Alyssa for her unfiltered mind and self. She is truly a one of a kind. No one is like her, she is an example for everyone. I love how humble she is and how much grateful she is for all the lows (many) but the highs as well. She is a true legend. Good luck on Global All Stars MOTHA ❤️

[@healthycathy9782]

The work she has done on her face is immaculate!!! Bravo!!!

[@mikeymando3729]

❤ so glad Alyssa is back on tv!! She’s so funny and talented, the dancing beauty pageant queen of the south! Perfect drag queen to represent America in Global Allstars! I’ll be rooting for her all season!

[@GaiaCarney]

@mikeymando3729 - I agree! Alyssa Edwards is kooky, sexy & genuine 💝

[@sweetpjess]

Alyssa is one of the kindest queens I have EVER met. I love seeing her on this look back. She is an icon.

[@FallonSmith]

She is such a wordsmith i love her

[@official_stair]

There are so many sound bites memes and phrases in just this one video 😭😭😭

[@wowjennawow]

1:21 absolutely losing it over alyssa saying “i look like a drowned rat” with pure, dead seriousness in her eyes

[@k4y5h4w]

Need the alyssa audiobook or podcast

[@NRayM93]

She’s taking that crown this time and I’m so proud of Alyssa. Idk her like that but I’m from Texas and we stand by ours 💯. ❤️❤️

[@baepple]

She is honestly such a personality

[@nanniebb]

I love Alyssa, she's always been my favorite queen and she's definitely my global all star .

[@KenjiSabellaga]

Alyssa will ALWAYS and FOREVER be my favorite drag race queen . The fact she is also the only person on Global All Stars to compete 3 times, she better win the crown this time around . She should have been a finalist at least in AS2 .

[@WakelessLon]

oh she’s so winning

[@evaguo1]

Alyssa Edwards is sooooo entertaining and mesmerizing! I love you, Alyssa!! 🩷🩷💜💜💜💜

[@evie9732]

I love Alyssa. She makes the world a brighter place 🌟

I could listen to her talk for HOURS ❤😂

[@ELEKTRARE]

Alyssa is just Iconic , a real southern Bell yaaaaaasssss theeee Haus of Edwards 😊❤❤

[@tirissymone]

I looooove some Alyssa! She never fails to entertain! Her saying she used all the material in her S5 roast and thinking it was hilarious but they all flatlined is sending me! The true definition of delulu and IM LIVING FOR IT!

[@foxface.1662]

“It’s all about me and everyone’s a visitor” ❤️

[@TheDivineMoonchild]

I literally think Alyssa’s life is just one big episode of Alyssa’s Secret and we’re just watching 😂

[@aryabolton2949]

Alyssa is one if my tipsy tops favorite girls! She's quick, she's gorgeous, and a hell of a dancer!!!

[@computasaysnoo1]

I need her to record audiobooks😂😂😂😂😂

[@realluzukogqiba]

Always & forever! 🤍

[@reddressguydave9415]

I love, Love, LOVE her so friggen much. I almost had a fainting coronary when they announced the cast. I am a drag super fan due directly to Alyssa Edwards!

[@timbo2331]

I love her so much. I don’t even care if she wins she’s already a winner. Drag excellence

[@baltermore4137]

so sweet to be able to hear her talk about that moment with her sister. and so happy for her that she’s back back back again!!

[@hoangminh3518]

The “Ru…. Never” rents free in my head 😂

[@andrewturner5864]

this entire video has so many quotable moments - her mind is unmatched

[@martinrandersson]

Not Alyssa confirming that there's a Roast on Global All Stars

[@travwill7147]

and that she makes it to it 🤣

[@marcusmelancon3426]

And I feel like the roast are usually towards the end of the season so that’s also good news

[@anthonyblocker97]

Yeah when she mentioned snatch game I was like “okaaay that’s a given” and then she said something about a roast redemption and i went “waaaait!! Wait we didn’t get that far” 😂😂 expected the editors to cut that but tbh it’s not a huge spoiler worth cutting. Okay we know one of the challenges and one queen who’s in it, no biggie. But honey I gasped and paused the video😂😂😂

[@jdtv05]

Love me some Alyssa Edwards. Could listen to her talk forever and she will

[@proboffensive]

i'm glad she knows her katy perry tweet was iconic

[@GridaVortex]

The full circle 💖 10 years following Alyssa ever since i saw her on S5 and finally shes having her greatest moment! So proud! Shes the sweetest goofball/teacher/mentor/lider i ever met and she deserves all the praise she has! Cannot wait to see how shes gonna turn it into her own show 👑💖

[@josuezamora8036]

She directs herself, so hilarious 🫡😂

[@amahdeus]

One of the best narrators. Alyssa is UNFORGETTABLE.

[@felixmeow660]

Alyssa's always been one of my favorite Drag Race queens... she's so funny and can always make me smile.. it's nice to see her on Drag Race again..

[@bbsteele671]

The moment between Rupaul & Alyssa on the 1st episode of Global AS got me together 😢😢 A beautiful moment between Mother & Daughter. I wasn't crying you were! 😢😢

[@solidpandaboi5121]

hope she wins global all stars

[@jordansl98]

Alyssa is such a feel good good times kinda lady I love her 🥰

[@JB-LaFritz]

I can't put into words how much I love Alyssa - I wish I could borrow her for a sec and have her tell it, she's got the talent to do so! What a storyteller

[@guilledrama]

I was waiting for the “Every woman has a secret… Mine happens to be a little bigger” 😂😂😂😂😂 the perfume challenge 😂

[@hausofdownboots]

This was so lovely to revisit through perhaps the most MAGICAL season we have ever had. Thank you.
