RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars (TV Series) JOAN: The Unauthorized Rusical! (2023) User Reviews

No more strange placements.. EVER!

[jesper_bongers-19473 · 8/10 · 9 June 2023]

Don't get me wrong, it was an amazing Rusical! The judging was okay until now. How did one of the worst performers of the night win the challenge? I don't like them pushing a top 4. Too bad, it could've been one of the best episodes of the franchise..

With that being said: the Rusical was amazing. I loved the staging of it: having all the Joans stand in the background and moving center stage when it's their turn. Lala was outstanding this episode and definitely deserved the win. The runway was okay, but not as great as it could've been.

Let's just hope this was all the obvious rigory for the rest of the season.

These 1 Star Reviews of "fans" annoy me

[nogiebinho · 10/10 · 11 June 2023]

The rusical was very good. In fact everybody was good. The runway OMG - amazing. Alexis Michelle's look for example was cherry on top.

Kandy winning? Ok. It was also fine. I also thought that they were a little harsh about LalaRi's look. Lalari was fantastic in the rusical. She could also have won the challenge in my opinion easily. I don't unterstand how her look alone made her "lose".

But Kandy made a decision that annoys the audience. Well, it was an unfair decision in my opinion. But that doesn't mean the episode deserves only one star. That's why I'm giving 10, to balance out these emotional reactions of "fans".

Drag delusion

[allanlogsdon · 9/10 · 11 June 2023]

The fans are upset because their favorite was booted fairly. She did good in a rusical everyone else did great in, and her runway was the worst by far this week. Her TR (no win, 2 btm) is not that much better than Kahanna (1 win, 3 btm). So what are they gonna do about it? Bombard the episode rating with 1 star reviews because they're too immature to handle the show not going 100% their way? Unfortunately it doesn't shock me at all.

Lala had a great runway and performance, and so did kandy. Either winning is justified imo. The problem is kandy ain't a fan favorite, and because of that, the fans will always find a way to downplay her success and convince themselves that their faves were "robbed." The delusion some of these drag race "fans" have is really starting to baffle me.

The rusical itself was amazing, everyone shined in this challenge. The placements were fair imo and kandy ate that lip sync so she rightfully earned the choice to send Jaymes home. Jaymes was one of my favorite queens this season. (Could've won snatch game in my humble opinion) and it's sad to see her go but she was judged fairly and kandy chose who she chose. So sick of the kandy hate train for no reason. She's playing to win just like everyone else.

Drag Race "Fans" Shut it

This rusical was great, everyone did awesome. Don't be mad because your favorite got booted. She didn't not have the best track records to start with and wanted to quit the first day. The whole cast voted the same so don't send anyone or just one queen hate. Very good episode, challenge and runway! I was really entertained by particular queens. In my opinion 4 queens could have got the win and it just came down to looking at the little details. Well written storylines. Again, do not let the bad reviews by "fans" trick you on this episode. This is possibly the best or second best episode of the season.

Good rusical, rigged results

[howseisaac · 5/10 · 11 June 2023]

The Rusical this week was gab, everyone did great and certain people surprised like girl Kahanna has a great singing voice. The editing however was kinda messy cuz it didn't really give any queens an episodic storyline buy also didn't really focus on all the queens idk it was just a little confused. But anyway girl those placements. Kandy winning feels fine cuz plenty of people couldve won but girl... Alexis did too good to be safe and Jimbo wasnt good enough to be safe. This and the ball episode... it really feels like they're not trying hard to disguise their favourtism this season. Anyway good lipsync, Angeria was alright while Kandy was great. Meh episode overall.

Really bad episode for a good season

[carolinegnewton · 1/10 · 10 June 2023]

Everything about this episode feels off, like really off. To the sound editing, the judging, the sound was off during the whole musical was werid. I dont know we're half way through the whole competition so im hoping things wont go down hill but this episode sure makes it feel like it. Plus it's a mainly Kandy focused episode so you know it's not gonna be a great episode to begin but it somehow went more downhill during judging. The main nitpick to have with musical episode is the everyone usually does well so ill the judging is very nitpicking to the point it's nauseating. It was exepected for this episode to be better but uy didn't live up to any hype.

Horrible judging

[Kedm89 · 1/10 · 10 June 2023]

This whole season has been so weird and 'off' for me. First of all the blatant favoritism is getting out of control. They clearly want Jimbo and Kandy to be the top 2 in the end. After this episode no one can deny that. Kandy winning was only because she had the funniest bit. Yes she did perform her bit well but the didn't embody the character (like Alexis or Jaymes did). Jimbo's performance was cringe to say the least. She for sure should've been in the bottom. But seeing they're throwing her wins like it's nothing they just want her to win. Jaymes definitely didn't deserve to go home, she was one of the best! It baffles me to see everybody voted for her while last weak they already unanimously voted Kahana to go home! I think they just wanted to get rid of competition... overall very meh season. Heidi was right to leave and we all know they'll just give Jimbo the crown as they planned from the beginning.

Here's why this elimination was unfair.

[muberino · 2/10 · 18 June 2023]

I ticked the spoiler's button so let me just openly say. Ain't NO way 1 win and 3 bottoms is better than no wins and 2 bottoms.

1. Someone being safe is significantly better than ever being in the bottom. Being safe is, you did good, but just weren't the best, so that's why you deserve to continue on into the competition. Being in the bottom THREE times? That means you've been a bad competitor THREE times. But just one time you were the best of the bunch. That is an overall BAD track record! Jaymes had been CONSISTENT throughout this competition. Do I feel like Jaymes playing her character gets in her way sometimes? YES, I do and yes it does! But in NO way is that enough justification to vote a b off the show.

2. Jaymes has technically has had no bottoms under her belt, since the only other time she was in the bottom was on a group challenge, a challenge in which she came in SO strong, as her Jennifer Coolidge impersonation.

In conclusion, I acknowledge that Jaymes has a love from the audiences that may cause biasness, but I do not believe that this is the only reason why people are upset. I do not believe this elimination was justified, and I do believe that them ALL voting for her was extremely unfair and solely because they considered her competition. Why else would you vote someone off like that? Especially for Kandy to pull out the lipstick for Jaymes, that was ABSOLUTELY to eliminate the competition. I feel like in this series, rarely do the queens actually get a chance to vote out a competitor. In this instance they did, and they all took it.
