It happened on too short of a season for anyone else to get a truly satisfying conclusion and we needed a frontrunner to carry on the rest of the season.

I think that's what makes her choice more shocking, Naomi literally had no reason to send Manila Home. Yes she said in the next episode that she was getting even with Latrice but I don't really believe that, It was clear to everyone that after Latrice came back, Valentina was gonna be the next to go. Plus when Naomi, Trinity, Monique, and Valentina were all in the bottom Manila chose Valentina's lipstick despite her having at least one win unlike Naomi. And Monét actually had a good reason, Manila tried to send her home to save Latrice and didn't apologize for it when she landed in the bottom. And lastly we saw how quick Latrice and Naomi turned on each other in the Sex and The Kitty Girl challenge, Naomi's choice will go down as the smartest in AS Herstory, had she not made that choice she'd 100% be the next to go home considering just how surprisingly great Monét, Trinity, Manila, and especially Monique did.

@airtempest89452 жыл бұрын
I think the whole context around the choice for Naomi was a bit more in her favour, where as Pangina wouldn't really want either to go home. For Naomi, eliminating Manila does so many things for her: A) It gets rid of the biggest threat. B) It keeps Latrice, her own ally (We know they had an alliance that wasn't shown) in the game. C) With how the other players are playing, especially Trinity, they're unlikely to try to flip their strategy in the last round of eliminating the worst competitior, and if Latrice isn't there, she has a less impressive track record to them than Monet (More bottoms and less tops), so she would be axed, where as with Latrice there, they'll go for Latrice if they're eliminating that way over Naomi, because Latrice has literally been eliminated already and also has another bottom placement on top of that. For Pangina, both Juju or Jimbo going were bad for different reasons: If she eliminates Jimbo, as we saw, it just makes her by far the biggest threat and someone who isn't even useful to have as an ally anymore, due to their massive threat level. If she eliminates Juju, she's directly taking out one of her own allies for no benefit to herself and is still a threat anyways.

Saving Roxxxy was just the strategic merge of “I’ll keep my friend” and “lol she can’t win so I’m keeping her here”.

The thing with this format is that, ultimately, the ones who end up losing are us. Never mind who deserves or doesn't deserve to win, having only the very best go all the way has always been satisfying in regular seasons because we got the opportunity to see the top shine and give us stellar performances. With this All Winners season, we are having the chance to enjoy a drama-free season that is focused entirely on the talents of each contestant, and what a joy it has been. Now, with the format where a queen gets eliminated because she is the best but didn't win the challenge that episode is just tiresome. We have had queens who won entire seasons with just 1 win on their belts, so seeing Manila not winning after collecting multiple wins and being the clear front runner feels disappointing. We wanted to see more of her, because she is entertaining and deserved the spotlight. Same goes with Bendela on All Stars 3. She eliminated herself, but she only did that because she didn't enjoy eliminating others. In my opinion, the only season where this format kind of worked was All Stars 2, but All Stars 2 was entirely packed with talent, unlike the other seasons.

The queens are also peers and sometimes friends in the same industry - winning a season at the cost of your reputation is risky, and might not be beneficial in the long term.

Trixie KNEW that this would happen to Naomi. Before that Pit Stop episode she always advised that you are playing a game in and out of the show. The long game is winning more fans on the outside. Sometimes, the fans will react positively to a decision like Naomi's but I know a lot of people that did NOT take it well. (Granted, most of those people are Asian, like myself, and Manila's elimination meant that we were, yet again, not getting an Asian queen.)

I really feel like the Top 2 All Stars format could have been so much more interesting if it never had the pretence of fairness. Queens can play strategically and it still ends up being fair most of the time because queens like Pangina and Alexis prove why gunning for front-runners can easily backfire, but it adds so much more suspense to know that if a queen is smart about it and wins at the right time she can flip the script.

She really was the only one who dared to do this, in fact I believe that it's a shame that Katya didn't try to pull Alaska's lipstick in the makeover, she messed up the most and was the frontrunner, giving you a justification and reason. Monet tried to hide behind not trusting her and her wanting to save Latrice. She was clearly just saving her skin. Naomi was honest and said it how it was. It was also incredibly smart, because it was in the late game, giving you few opportunities for backlash, a mistake Morgan and Pangina made. On top of a likely winner of the next challenge bragging about being fair, while you keep a weaker contestant in for her to eliminate. It was pure genious.

Honestly, as much as I love Manila and wanted her to win All Stars 4, Naomi did what she had to do and I've always respected her for that. And I agree with Heidi, that beating the best doesn't have to mean beating them at the end, cos if you send them home when you get the chance, you've beaten them! But I think production saw the chance to give Manila an Alaska moment (bottom in the makeover as their only weak moment of the season) and didn't think Naomi (or Monet) would take advantage of that situation since no one had before.
@tbbcch10392 жыл бұрын
I agree with everything else, but what I think Heidi fails to understand witht he whole "beating the best thing" is that the queens who say that usually mean they want to beat the best by performing better; not by being strategic about their eliminations. In other words, they want to play a "fair" game and let the best queen win (hopefully, themselves). That being said, queens playing the game like Naomi is also just as valid. They're just two different aproaches.

By waving the option of eliminating Valentina in the beginning she lost Trinity’s support and it went all downhill from there. I completely understand her loyalty towards Latrice, but telling everyone up front that she will chop them over her bestie just made it impossible not to eliminate her. Because everyone knew that if they were in the bottom with Latrice and Manila won, they are out.

The whole fairness angle that most of the "playing it safe" queens take isn't really about the competition or the money, it's about interpretation. "I want to beat the best" is "I want the fans to think I'm the best". Sure, you could compete for just the money but for artists and performers the real prize is getting a show were you are the protagonist and your victory is the show's good ending. That is worth more than the money, that is gigs and talk shows and trending and visibility. The real fear is... Well... Being a Trixie; winning but never truly standing out and (even if waaay beyond her hands and having no choice in the matter) getting handed the win instead of "earning" it in the eyes of the fans. I think Trixie's win is as valid as it could get and have never gave a fuck, but the lackluster reception of her crown makes it so that the fandom kinda... Doesn't really acknowledge that she won? Anyway, I'm rambling. Everyone is talking about Pangina and Jimbo as examples of the format, but no one is talking about Blu who actually won and deservedly so. Her eliminating Pangina wasn't as controversial because Pangina opened the door for it, so we all agree Blu was just playing the game, not starting it and so when she wins some fans kinda go "well, yeah, for lack of a better queen". It is kinda scary to win "by default" in the eyes of the fans, I think if Naomi had actually won after eliminating Manila, the fandom wouldn't have been as kind to her.

I think an interesting format would be to do the AS4 LaLaPaRuza on steroids. The maxi-challenge winner is immune from elimination, while the bottom queen can challenge any of the safe queens to a Lip Sync for Your Life. I know Ru doesn't like to eliminate All Stars herself, but it's an interesting thought experiment that introduces an element of calculated risk to the competition. Like, the bottom queen has to bet on who she can take in a lip sync, and if it's the frontrunner, she has to prove why the frontrunner should take her place in the bottom and go home. I think it would allow for more strategic choices and dramatic scenarios, while still playing to the idea that winner of the whole thing should be somebody who has outperformed the competition, either in the challenges or the lip syncs. I don't know. Just a fun idea...

You can tell this was an after thought because if this was genuine decision then they would’ve filmed Trinity and Monet being crowned at the same time. Not two different screen cuts of them getting crowned. Which is why Trinity looked terrified when she watched the finale live at a booking. BTW: they film all the finalist being crowned before the show airs. Due to Perez Hilton leaking Raja winning season three on the premier episode. So no one knows who wins until it airs

As a viewer, it's kinda annoying that the top players get axed. That's why I don't like UKvsTW. The moment that pangina was eliminated I didn't care anymore about the show anymore, in fact, I didn't keep watching it because that. We want to see people work hard and get to the end in a "fair" way. I was in the competition, I'll axed the strongest the moment that I could cuz it the smartest choice. So, personally, I think the elimination system should be either revised or entirely dismissed. The big problem is that when you fail in the main series, they lypsinc but in AS, they depend of the opinions of others and the can't fight back. I think they should keep the score system of AS7, bring back bad critics and top 2 and bottom 2. The winner of the top 2 gets to choose either block or deduct a point from the bottom 2. No one goes home except from maybe the middle of season? Idk something like that

That's how I imagine every season would be if queens were always eliminating the more threatening queen. Although, it is fantastic TV when it's unexpected like Naomi

As a bit of a tangent, I think the old format could still work if the queens and not RuPaul decides the bottom 2. In the end, if you really want the queens to take the responsibility of eliminating, let them fully take it, allow the queens to decide on the bottom 2 and send someone home either collectively or as the winner of the episode. Not the random bottom 3 or if you're not in the top then you're in the bottom bullshit either.
