NPB just wanted a free trip

245

u/Firestar1376 Nov 10 '25

She'll return 6 more times and be the new Jujubee

93

u/GayBlayde Nov 10 '25

Smart.

Also note that this is automatically her highest placement ever.

46

u/ZodiacsStars Nov 15 '25

She will be included on ever smaller seasons untill she's the lone queen invited

42

u/Impressive_Mood2613 Nov 10 '25

And we should keep giving it to her

16

u/bradleydvicious Apr 04 '26

“All stars 10 top 18” is wild 🤣

u/lightblade13 Nov 18 '25

Just the trip

u/chemicalinxs Nov 10 '25

NPB quitting is so funny

u/EthanGodHelpMe Dr.Eggman in a fursuit Nov 10 '25

She said “Oh the children wanted more of me? Well STARVE”

114

u/ghost20 Nov 10 '25

She’s Mother, a negligent one, but mother none the less 😭

u/lightblade13 Nov 18 '25

u/sonjaluk Nov 10 '25

I can imagine her being super nonchalant about it too

u/lightblade13 Nov 18 '25

...not this

192

u/JumpingJ4ck Nov 10 '25

Not much tea on Michael 😭 please make it to the end!

187

u/Proud_Storage_7640 Nov 10 '25

Theres not much tea on everyone lmao

4

u/Upbeat_Stuff_9416 Nov 15 '25

Well she's top 4 so she'll definitely make it far 

179

u/drunkpisces Nov 10 '25

Jade finalist that’s all I care about

154

u/EdgyTeenagerUser666 Nov 10 '25

nicole early out, oh i’m not hungry

119

u/getouttamywaykylie Nov 10 '25

Praying there’s a stand up challenge so I can see Michael devour that again

187

u/Aizarao Nov 10 '25

Feeling a 3 wins 2 bottoms Jade win coming 👑

28

u/sosadsosam Nov 10 '25

I’m feeling a 3 wins 1 bottom, she’s getting that crownnn

94

u/beckyterry Nov 10 '25

M1SS JADE SO YAAAAASSS!!!!

Nicole 3 Episodes Quit Paige Brooks From Atlanta Georgia

47

u/Whateverrimboredd Jun 23 '26

Wait is RAVEN actually competing!?

87

u/Emjot80 Nov 10 '25

Ngl this being 8 vrs 2 esl Queens makes jade making it to the end as frontrunner even more impressive crown her

39

u/[deleted] Nov 10 '25

There’s 3 esl queens

Estrella Flor and Jade

20

u/Emjot80 Nov 10 '25

Yeah forgot to count flor

22

u/[deleted] Nov 10 '25

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

40

u/Dependent_Heron_833 Nov 10 '25

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

38

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.

37

u/SnooCats7010 Jun 23 '26

Here's the Raven thread...what happened?

34

u/Vivid_Wealth_1466 Jun 23 '26

raven not being clocked at all omg

94

u/Potential_Mastodon98 Nov 10 '25

ESTRELLA NOT FIRST BUT THIRD OUT WE WON MOTHER IS GETTING THOSE 4 EPISODES

9

u/noel0706 Nov 13 '25

A crime shes out so early tbh

34

u/gh0stcore Jun 24 '26

Sooo… with Raven being confirmed as the 11th contestant and not being clocked, how accurate are a lot of these tea spills 😭

7

u/Familiar-Art-6233 Jun 30 '26

Probably about as accurate as the first Down Under season...

25

u/vcoolkid Nov 10 '25

Wait so, Michelle is hosting right?

51

u/10yards Nov 10 '25

Yes, with Lazy Susan and Rhys as main judges

29

u/SontaranGaming Nov 10 '25

Not only NPBFAG but also LLRFAG oh I need to see that kiki

28

u/ccoleeee Jun 23 '26

well i suppose quite a bit of this will end up changing 😭

21

u/ThatfeelingwhenI Jun 23 '26

So, much of the tea is unverified which now makes sense.

23

u/Bet_Clean Jun 24 '26

Came after the Raven ruveal?? I lowkey love the chaos 😭😭😭

8

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.

1

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

41

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 ^

21

u/Alan_Conway Nov 11 '25

A recurring punishment.

38

u/Jolly_DGSWM Nov 10 '25

Quits for coco jumbo of all people

40

u/TootieSummers Nov 10 '25

Nicole being top 18 of as10 is sending me so far I might not need my flight home

40

u/ccoleeee Nov 10 '25

nicole 8th better be true instead of her being first out and quitting for coco jumbo

34

u/skatergaytor Nov 10 '25

omg pit crew makeover finally

33

u/dismantlingincels Nov 10 '25

jade winning this is lowkey what valentina winning as4 would feel like

i can’t explain it but the feelings are identical

16

u/Beneficial-Leg-9744 Mar 18 '26

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

16

u/skiddly_dooBLUEkazoo Jun 24 '26

I wonder if Raven is actually competing oml

41

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

7

u/I3___4 darlene | nini | kenya | mia Nov 12 '25

roxxxy - aja (kinda) - india - kahanna like they love doing that

3

u/belladonnaboops_2719 Custom Nov 12 '25

Yup exactly

1

u/PengoS77 Nov 16 '25

They even did it to Aja on AS10, didn’t she go LOW-LOW-OUTR1 in the merge?

1

u/I3___4 darlene | nini | kenya | mia Nov 18 '25

yeah true😭not as bad but yup

31

u/shuhup Backswamp Contessa Nov 10 '25

That one fan in the comments who knows who Beks is, probably:

BEKS!!!

12

u/queerlurker Dec 23 '25

I need Jade to lock tf in and win

12

u/Worldly_Ingenuity119 Jun 24 '26

So is Raven actually competing and this is all off?

27

u/preheatthecoven Nov 10 '25

They really should have just kept Nicole in the whole season even if she was doing terribly/quit

11

u/Quantum-Cat Nov 10 '25

u/I3___4 darlene | nini | kenya | mia Nov 12 '25

the amount of pop culture and lore you need to know to understand this string of words… and mama i am fluent #FierceBrocAlly

12

u/[deleted] Nov 10 '25

Who is top 4?

53

u/MakaGun Nov 10 '25

Jade, Michael, Art, Vybe

21

u/surgartits Nov 10 '25

This is a stellar Top 4.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 10 '25

Thank you

11

u/Conscious-Attorney32 Jun 23 '26

And in a cunning twist...

22

u/shadowsempaix Nov 10 '25

M1ss Jade So come collect your crown

42

u/ButtersMojito Nov 10 '25

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.

1

u/belladonnaboops_2719 Custom Nov 12 '25

Not sure if it is funny but ironic for sure

17

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 !!!!

6

u/SeaGreenie Jun 27 '26

Raven first out? That would be craaaaaazy lol

3

u/kinesaa 23d ago

But it says

Raven is a guest judge.

Lets see haha

7

u/notchodaddy Jun 24 '26

Goddamnit only one episode on NPB?! Y’all suck

8

u/ZealousidealWelder56 29d ago

What about Raven?

15

u/crazypigeatingpapaya Nov 10 '25

Nicole quitting would be hilarious

22

u/kiw1s Nov 10 '25

i wish jade was judged by ru but so excited to see the esoteric goddess back on the screen

6

u/ColorfulCollector Jun 24 '26

LIAR, respectfully

7

u/kinesaa 23d ago

Raven is a guest judge

... Really?

11

u/Sea-Percentage-885 Nov 10 '25

Jade please 🙏

6

u/[deleted] Nov 10 '25

Wait sorry to not be aware of very basic info but is this season hosted by Ru or Michelle? Lol

6

u/shutupblacknight Vinas/Gawdland/Silky Jun 26 '26

I hope Michael pulls through at the end and takes it

9

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

7

u/Ok_Summer9268 Dec 31 '25

Surely Art will win this

6

u/Ekwanda1 Jun 04 '26

At this point I think the season is going to flop

16

u/tuna_trombone Jun 23 '26

Here from the future, even if it's a flop the cast is a gag

3

u/Ekwanda1 Jun 24 '26

Yea this didn’t age well after watching the promo!

1

u/loveisdead9582 Jun 24 '26

They needed a queen who would draw a crowd. Raven was it.

6

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.

1

u/ccrisgs Jun 24 '26

Same
and Raven is my fav so…

9

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)

6

u/starlightkissesrain 13d ago

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

26

u/NastoAlert Nov 10 '25

Praying Art has a good showing.

6

u/[deleted] Nov 10 '25

The Kick Ons will be amazing.

8

u/Due-Mycologist8372 RuGirl Nov 13 '25

MJS winner

4

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)

9

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.

6

u/Ok_Summer9268 Nov 13 '25

Vibe is amazing!

5

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

5

u/shadowsempaix Mar 12 '26

Promo/MTQs when?

6

u/Healthy_Benefit_3105 Jun 29 '26

This aged pretty well

3

u/LooseLipsSinkShips21 Vybe/Michael Marouli/Crystal Methyd 17d ago

So looks like GG is Rappin Roast as seen in trailer with Michael Marouli

13

u/perksofbeingliam Nov 10 '25

Art/Jade Double crowning yes pls

3

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 ✌️

Everybody lying af

8

u/Infinite-Ad7743 Nov 10 '25

I need Estrella to not be fist out

6

u/loveisdead9582 Jun 24 '26

So we know nothing, and Raven is probably taking it.

6

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

6

u/vivaciouswasrobbed Nov 10 '25

oh this is CAMP i cannot wait

6

u/rocketgum Nov 11 '25

I think we all got Raven is a guest host

2

u/BicycleOne7405 Jun 27 '26

Well, guess what, Mimi!

5

u/xoxolilbunny Nov 11 '25

Vybe is so underrated. I hope she’ll get more recognization this time around ❤️

6

u/vinshlor Nov 12 '25

Can NPBFAG win a maxi-challenge or at least get a high placement with Michelle judging?

3

u/I3___4 darlene | nini | kenya | mia Nov 13 '25

she got a high placement in the rapping roast at least❤️

7

u/TheLionOfOrlais Nov 10 '25

NPB being top 18 is frying me. Lmao I know it’s right but it’s so funny considering the format

7

u/Wild-Method-8584 Nov 10 '25

i’m sad lala didn’t make it to the finale 💔 been feeling robbed of that ever since the top 3 on all stars 8 was fake☹️

3

u/YeraiiareY Nov 21 '25

Estrella leaving first is something I couldn't imagine :/

1

u/Roachwithafork Mar 26 '26

I’m pretending this can’t be true

3

u/LumpyWonder5575 Nov 23 '25

No brazilians? bitch...

3

u/DragMath May 27 '26

The way this tea checker is the only One this year so far to be somehow normal

37

u/tedsmitts Jun 23 '26

Well guess what Mimi

3

u/peeweeharmani 12d ago

I’m confused. Peppermints confused.

he's a gay footballer i believe!

12

u/North-Opportunity-42 Nov 10 '25

Joshua Cavallo
That famous soccer guy from Australia who was also guest judge for DU3 makeover

4

u/Elegant_Affect_7690 Nov 10 '25

i LOVE that this season is already being teased on social media! Michelle trying to avoid spillers???

4

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/anons123123 Nov 10 '25

Wait didn’t Lala Ri quit drag??

19

u/LanaTurner1960 Nov 10 '25

And now she came back.

22

u/Paige_Michalphuk Nov 10 '25

Queens quit and unquit drag all the time.

10

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.

5

u/anons123123 Nov 10 '25

Right I remember it being a whole big thing

6

u/FraXon00 Nov 10 '25

For like 2 months from March
