All Stars 9 Premiere: Charity and Non-Elimination Format

• 👑 The season of All Stars 9 is a charity season, with a non-elimination format similar to All Stars 7.
• 💡 Both hosts agree that a non-elimination format is beneficial for respecting queens' time and encouraging more contestants to join, especially for charity seasons.
• ⚠️ However, they feel that for regular All Stars seasons competing for money, eliminations are necessary if a queen is not performing well.

Entrance Looks: A Mixed Bag of Fashion and Personality

• 🌟 Gottmik opened with a striking, edgy look, though her runway walk was noted as awkward.
• 👠 Roxxy Andrews presented a head-to-toe Balenciaga ensemble, with her hair being a slight miss for the hosts.
• 📌 Vanessa Vanjie Mateo's chaotic, bobby-pin-adorned jacket was seen as fitting her whimsical drag persona, despite some critiques.
• 🎤 Angeria Paris Van Michaels' entrance look and tagline were considered underwhelming by the hosts.
• 🤡 Nina West's outfit was described as a chic clown aesthetic, fitting for her persona, though the earrings were deemed too small.
• 🌸 Plastique Tiara's simple yet beautiful entrance look was critiqued for its fit and a potentially revealing tuck, with her tagline also falling flat.
• 💃 Jorgeous's look was considered mid, with the hosts loving her hair and makeup but finding the outfit lacking, especially compared to her previous season's looks.
• 💎 Shannel's entrance look was praised for its stunning hair and makeup, though minor fit issues and overly tanned legs were noted.

Main Challenge: "Drag Queens Save the World" Theme Song

• 🎶 The main challenge involved writing, recording, and performing verses for the season's theme song.
• 🎤 The hosts had mixed feelings about the challenge, with one disliking writing lyrics for a gimmicky song and choreography, while the other enjoyed it.
• 👯‍♀️ Alliances began to form, with Roxxy & Plastique, Shannel & Nina, and Jorgeous & Angeria seen together.
• 💃 Jorgeous was chosen as the choreographer, leading to discussions about whether good dancers always make good teachers.

Reading Challenge and Runway Critiques

• 🐍 Vanessa Vanjie Mateo's "Toxic" fantasy runway was deemed awful and not Runway-ready, looking more suited for a Thursday night show.

• 💎 Shannel's old-school drag runway was appreciated for its polished, pageant-ready aesthetic.
• ❄️ Roxxy Andrews' Elsa-inspired "Never Sent Home" look was beautiful and well-executed, though expectedly high-caliber from her.
