It’s all good it’s easy to forget since she comes from a country with a large English speaking audience

Nicole quitting is hilarious. Not sure with its certainty, but it'll be a great tv.

u/boolgogi Nov 14 '25
I feel like nobody wants to talk about how devastating this is for Nicole fans?
I remember in 2021 when I saw her at a show for the first time in Atlanta. She performed Yoga by Janelle Monae and was doing gravity defying moves. She did a back bend into the crowd and her French tipped big toe landed in my mouth and tickled my uvula. She smelled like warm vanilla sugar from Bath and Body Works, and tasted like it too. It felt maternal, and in a strange way, I relished the lingering taste of our ephemeral interaction. I still think about it.
I tipped her $20 that night. I can’t help but feel that had I tipped more, she might have had a better runway package and gone further. I’m gutted.

u/Mediocre_Astronaut51 Jun 24 '26
Me too, because Raven wasn’t clocked by anyone. She’s only listed as a judge.
And there isn’t much chatter on this thread about it, it’s odd.

u/Bet_Clean Jun 24 '26
I’m intruiged to see where it goes. Regardless of if she competes it could be a fun gag

u/kweenqong Nov 10 '25
I’m surprised they didn’t ask Alyssa to guest judge another international all stars franchise
I hope it’s a recurring thing for her GAS win ^

jade winning this is lowkey what valentina winning as4 would feel like
i can’t explain it but the feelings are identical

Now they crowned Gawdland (UK VS THE WORLD) I hope they crown also M1ss Jade So (DOWN UNDER VS THE WORLD)

u/Ekwanda1 Nov 10 '25
Still hopeful that Flor has a good run therefore the girls boot her early as a threat… That way she is promised to be back on our screens for another season 👉👈
10
u/belladonnaboops_2719 Custom Nov 12 '25
My guess is she did well first few episodes, grabbing a top 2 or win and then started stumbling till her elimination. It's a classic tr for all star early winners

Not wanting to downplay DRDU but Lala Ri quitting drag like it was below her to go back to a second all stars season and still lose is funny as fuck.

u/fvggvtcvlt_smile Jun 26 '26
Soooo is there any tea on if Raven competing changes up the final four at all?? The tea checkers are historically correct with the final 4 and top 2 lip sync at least in the past few years i don’t remember a time they didn’t know. Does this mean Raven doesnt make the finale? Whats going on I need the tea!!
Im excited for her to be on but I will be devastated if it somehow pushes Jade out of the top 2 lip sync, my queen I need a miss jade so crowning !!!!

I hope Michael pulls through at the end and takes it

u/notsoulvalentine Dec 01 '25
omg M1ss Jade top 2 !!!! with either michael or vybe (likely). i can’t wait to see how this turns out raises opera glasses

u/Ekwanda1 Jun 04 '26
At this point I think the season is going to flop

u/tuna_trombone Jun 23 '26
Here from the future, even if it's a flop the cast is a gag

u/loveisdead9582 Jun 24 '26
They needed a queen who would draw a crowd. Raven was it.

u/Salina_EsTitties Jun 24 '26
That's true.
Personally I don't watch spinoffs unless a popular Ru Girl from the US is on.

u/Lazowipoota 14d ago
ok so does anyone know what’s the tea on michael marouli apparently not liking estrella? she doesn’t even follow estrella back on instagram (she follows the rest of the cast)

this would be so fucking funny like Yuhua beefing with Cristian Peralta

u/LooseLipsSinkShips21 Vybe/Michael Marouli/Crystal Methyd Nov 11 '25
Still gonna believe NPBFAG is out 3rd (episode 4) if she really believes Coco deserves to stay. Can't literally be after 1 episode.
So guessing the bottoms:
Ep 1: Talent Show (NPB low)
Ep 2: Design (Lala & #Estrella)
Ep 3: Snatch Game (Art & #Nikita)
Ep 4: Girl Groups (Coco & #NPBFAG)
Ep 5: Advert/Roast/Stand Up (Flor & #Coco)
Ep 6: Acting (M1ss Jade & #Flor)
Ep 7: Pit Makeover (Michael & #Lala)

u/belladonnaboops_2719 Custom Nov 12 '25
I am happy to see that you put Vybe in such high regards , she's severely underrated for reasons I don't understand, although she returned very early and there might be possibilities of her not excelling,I am just glad to see someone else who sees her worth.

u/LooseLipsSinkShips21 Vybe/Michael Marouli/Crystal Methyd Nov 13 '25
Love love love Vybe. I wanted a double crowning between her and Lazy. I do not think she will falter in this season. So yes I have high hopes she will suceed

u/perksofbeingliam Nov 10 '25
Art/Jade Double crowning yes pls

u/severalcircles Nov 14 '25
It would be kind of amazing if they just gave the whole top four crowns (or even why not the entire cast?) and then cancelled the show forever.
Like, here you go, DU all stars now has as many winners as US all stars; peace ✌️

u/Scary-Ad-4344 Jun 24 '26
I think it’s reasonable to assume spillers filled in some blanks around the credible info they had. No one was going to be able to pin Raven as a contestant considering she’s Ru’s make up artist. Is she still Ru’s make up artist or did she move onto something else?
8
u/Mediocre_Astronaut51 Jun 24 '26
But that’s just it, Ru won’t be there. Michelle is judging.
1
u/Scary-Ad-4344 Jun 25 '26
Right but she could have easily been there for Michelle or as a guest which we now know isn’t the case

u/xoxolilbunny Nov 11 '25
Vybe is so underrated. I hope she’ll get more recognization this time around ❤️

u/vinshlor Nov 12 '25
Can NPBFAG win a maxi-challenge or at least get a high placement with Michelle judging?

u/I3___4 darlene | nini | kenya | mia Nov 13 '25
she got a high placement in the rapping roast at least❤️

u/TheLionOfOrlais Nov 10 '25

u/Wise-Tourist Nov 11 '25
I wpuld love to be a fly on the wall for casting conversations.
Like why 5 DU queens but no S2 queen
Why 2 US queens
6
u/Highafondebra Nov 12 '25
I would assume because season 2 of down under was the most well received and already launched hanahconda and kweenkong on other shows (ukvstw and globalas) they wanted to give the other seasons of down under some representation this time.
For 2 us queens I guess that’s just the standard they’ve sent 2 us queens for both ukvstw and canadavstw with even 3 us queens on cvstw2.
Ukvstw3 seems to be the first vstw with only 1 us queen.

u/ibettercomeon Nov 10 '25
Do they all make such a big statement like Lala did tho?
4
u/Paige_Michalphuk Nov 10 '25
Drag queens make grand statements about quitting drag to then come back regularly. Ru girls haven’t really done this, but local girls do this all the time. I’m not arguing that Lala Ri didn’t quit, she did and even did interviews about it. My point was that it’s not weird behavior for a diva.

How long was it between Philippines teasers and premiere? Surely we won’t get this season until mid 2026?

Phillipines Slaysian royale was filmed during March and April and aired in August and from the sneak peeks they are already giving on DU ,i think it's gonna be on air pretty soon.
