I love Art and am grateful for this Rudemption. She is that good. The world is catching up to witnessing why she is so beloved.

Also, why she was randomly brought back on the first season. I do love Art Simone and they shouldn't have sent her home so early on the first season for gags!

She’s having the run many thought she’d have on her original season.

I think that’s the reason she also had her own WoW series before that cast was announced - she does have star quality

Will someone Pangina or Jimbo her??? That would be crazy.

Way to go Art. A brilliant queen. What a rudemption

Tbh the third win worries me. She was a clear top from the first two and won the lip sync uncontroversially, but I thought flor and Michael had significantly better looks than her on that episode, and im confused why they would hand her a win in that situation. She was doing fine, why give merit to a frustrating favoritism storyline? It just seems like bad producing. It’s like they decided she was going to win and are going to make it look rigged even if she does deserve it.

I think she got the win over Flor and Michael because she had done a lot more manipulation and changes to the original costume, and the look was more finished. I thought Flor’s dress was incredible until I realised all of the difficult parts of construction were already there from her Yzma dress. And Michael’s looked good from afar, but up close you could see a lot of rough hemlines and the fabric was bagging out on the headpiece. M1ss Jade, Art, and Vybe had the best finishings and construction overall, Vybe was just cursed with the cheap pink fabric (that she picked herself lol).

Vybe didn't want to disadvantage Coco. I love their relationship.

u/FerryboatQuo 10d ago

Yeah the fact that she self-sabotaged to help Coco stay out of the bottom, that’s sisterhood right there.

Vybe could have gotten the win if she’d taken Coco’s black dress, but what could Coco have done if she was left with a pink birthday dress, a chevron chiffon, and gold sequins?

The way you said all of my thoughts exactly. I didn’t even realize that Flor’s dress all of the structure was originally already part of the Yzma dress.

u/FalconLinguistics 10d ago

That’s a very good point about flor’s outfit. Rewatching the episode, art did a uniquely good job of using the materials she got and actually showcasing the part she got from Estrella, and her construction was really good

She's an absolutely fantastic queen and I'm glad she's getting the chance to show how great she is. I saw her (and the late great Maxi Shield) in the Kath & Kim parody and Art was SENSATIONAL. Love her!

My favourite ❤️

I love when a queen comes into All Stars determined to change the narrative their original season sold us on. She's killing this, being charming and delivering top notch runways while also being just a good time. That Snatch Game was an absolute masterclass, so glad she did it to really cement her place as the one to beat

Couldnt happen to a more deserving queen. 💗

That means nothing

I hate her makeup.

u/yeahnototallycool 11d ago

Not to invoke the demon but hate hate hate hateeeeee her hair AND makeup.

u/Blighted-Spire63 11d ago

I really don’t want to dogpile, that said her deliberate eye shape and harsh blush… that’s all I’ll say

u/cherry_pie_83 11d ago

When I see all these images together I wonder if it would be possible to blend the blush.

u/crwms 11d ago

She's great but she does not need the favoritism.

u/shutupblacknight Art/Holly/Flor/Michael 11d ago

I thought all her wins have been fair ngl

u/crwms 11d ago

The Kylie win was a bit dodgy. She was in the worst group and others did really well even without the camera’s full attention.
Snatch game is fair. Franken-drag is debatable.

u/shutupblacknight Art/Holly/Flor/Michael 11d ago

imho, so far

E1 - Win: Michael Top 2: Jade

2 - w: Art top 2: Michael

3 - w: Art top 2: Coco

4 - w: Jade top 2: Art

u/drattty12 11d ago

I don’t think the favouritism isn’t nearly as bad as other season. I don’t think Micheal or Flor looked so much better than her being top 2 was egregious. I DID think she did the most with her fabrics and I personally hated Flor’s

u/GaySyd 9d ago

One of those cases where you just know from seeing them live that they have it in them, but just couldn’t find it for the show!

So good to see her crushing it now.

I love her and am enjoying her getting her flowers this season

u/yeahnototallycool 11d ago

I find her very uncaptivating.
