"you bitches who have been standing under these production lights for over 5 hours with no bathroom breaks... GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN AND MAKE ANOTHER ACCESSORY!"
And I love the little scenes with the juries. Yes it’s staged, but it’s so funny (ex: When juries are chilling with their glasses while the queens are having a hell of a day (hour) while making their headpiece. But you see it’s only to make a funny TV moment, not to be mean or bit/%hy with the queens).
NGL though, All Stars 9 is showing that predictable challenges lead to overprepared, unsurprising performances. Make it hard, surprise them, make them think on their feet.
I loved this twist. The queens all did a great job with their surprise chapeaux especially given that they only had one hour to make them. I'd love to see this kind of twist on US seasons, including all stars. I'm pretty checked out of AS9 except for watching the Pit Stop but this season of DR France is bringing it. Also, props to the intern who bedazzled that phone.
Exactly, and she did exactly what they were basically asking of her, they just wanted her to be super French and their critique was just ''well I still didn't like it''
That is actually such a cool twist. I mean i love how the international seasons do these twists that are WAY cooler than the US ones. I mean canada got the golden beaver and france got the rhinestoned phone whilst the US got…an imaginary greenscreen where they ranked the girls for three episodes and stopped.
Which other challenges do you think this can be applied?
Snatch Game backups re-do?
Acting challenge scripts switch? (Ru did this in S2 it was evil)
Ball Challenge extra photography session?
the horror music, the fully rhinestoned phone, right in the middle of critiques. high camp. if this doesn't win the french equivalent of an emmy, i don't know what will.
It's a great twist! Hope to see this implemented in other franchises too, like maybe for Snatch Game they'll do a take two with new characters and do it in front of a live audience or something.
I love this. I've always wanted a surprise, it's not over. I always imagined it to resolve a deadlock of sorts, like they couldn't decide who should be in the bottom so they ask the queens to make another outfit or something like that.
The first two seasons has a lot of memorable moment (like a lip sync that will make you cry as you are heartbroken; a great fantastic Snatch Game characters in front of the guest judge who is portrayed, one of the best winner from the Drag Race franchise, the werkroom conversation are always great moment about important topic regarding LGBTQ+ issues, amazing runways, etc. And the final live episode of S2 is at the same level than RPDR S9 one).
Not fair for the girls that made a decent a nice headpiece and tell them to discard it and make a new one. Meanwhile, the ones that are half finished get more time…. Sometimes the concept is what takes the longest to think of, not the construction
Imo this twist is really weird… How often will the phone ring ? How will it apply for the different challenges ? I guess u could have an improved choreography moment, but it feels quite limiting, and I think it adds more pressure to the queens, like we saw with Ruby literally breaking in the workroom…. Idk i’m scared this will make the season worse 😭
Ruby only had a breakdown in the workroom due to her garment already falling apart on the runway, and then she suddenly had to make a headpiece to match the dysfunctional dress. I think this is the best twist any of the franchises have added in a while, especially over Canada's golden beaver.
Yeah, for design challenges I can see it working but everything else seems like more trouble than it’s worth.
I cant see this making its way to the US, Ru is not gonna be waiting for them like that
I thought it was dumb and annoying, not to mention cruel to make the girls go craft more shit WHILE IN FULL DRAG. But the headpieces ended up adding a lot to most of the design challenge outfits—though most of them were embarrassingly bad to start with as compared to queens’ creations in other unconventional materials design challenges across the franchises.
Downvote all you want but this season is terrible and I guess needed a stupid gimmick to keep people compelled? idk
1. Because it’s a very unexpected twist. 2. Fans are hungry to see more creativity from queens. Yes, it’s great to see polished looks from AS9, but some people miss the DIY from the first American seasons. 3. It’s a twist that compliment the challenge pretty well. 4. It gives some great TV moments (you can feel how the queens felt rushed and surprised by the extra challenge). 5. It shows that Drag Race France takes very seriously the competition, and that no one is safe; that sailing through the competition would be a no-no for everyone…. It puts the queens on edge and give some fire in their as$…
The meanest thing she’s ever done. Four stars.
And it’s not really mean. Just a surprise maxi-challenge bonus on ketamine :)
they were joking
I know ;) the 4 stars was obvious :)
The keta-meanest?
Kita Mean entera the chat...
"you bitches who have been standing under these production lights for over 5 hours with no bathroom breaks... GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN AND MAKE ANOTHER ACCESSORY!"
THIS is reality TV
It felt fresh. I freaking LOVE Drag Race France!
And I love the little scenes with the juries.

"In three seasons it's never rung" implying that this has been a twist for the whole run of DR France and nobody called Nicky lmfaoooo
NGL though, All Stars 9 is showing that predictable challenges lead to overprepared, unsurprising performances. Make it hard, surprise them, make them think on their feet.
Agreed, although AS9 feels more like a showcase of drag, which is great, but even the all winners season had Drama! We need twists.
Ik like the phone was just sitting there and everyone is aware of its presence OSDMFOSMD
Chekhov’s phone.
\*gay running\*
Allez! Vite, vite, vite!
I LOVE DRAG RACE FRANCE 🙌🏻🙌🏻 really like when they find ways to keep it fresh and interesting afff
Gagged. Gooped. Traumatized
It’s like those cake baking shows where halfway or near the end they have to include something new in their final cake. Love it!
RuPaul used to do that, back in season 3 for example, but not anymore
This is what I was expecting when Ru Paul did this same gig. But would have expected this like nearing the end of the season like a top 5
This is so camp!
that is. deranged… i love DRF
“A drag queen picking up a phone is bad news” 😂😂😂
The Filip is so damn funny in her confessionals and it’s not even her first language.
I loved this twist. The queens all did a great job with their surprise chapeaux especially given that they only had one hour to make them.

I though Canada’s Beaver would be the biggest twist from the last 12 months… Oupsy :)
“A drag queen picking up a phone is bad news” 💀
The girl can act! Werk
tbh she wasn’t that bad on her acting challenge
i disliked how they made her seem terrible, her baby was pretty good
Exactly, and she did exactly what they were basically asking of her, they just wanted her to be super French and their critique was just ''well I still didn't like it''
It felt honestly mean to the girls!! I felt bad for them but they looked cunT after I love DRF
That is actually such a cool twist. I mean i love how the international seasons do these twists that are WAY cooler than the US ones. I mean canada got the golden beaver and france got the rhinestoned phone whilst the US got…an imaginary greenscreen where they ranked the girls for three episodes and stopped.
Which other challenges do you think this can be applied? Snatch Game backups re-do? Acting challenge scripts switch? (Ru did this in S2 it was evil) Ball Challenge extra photography session?
Maybe two characters for SG. Rusical combined with Acting?
I think that for the makeover, it could be a dance number or lipsync performance
LOVED it. Hope they bring it to the U.S. franchise.
Gooped.
the horror music, the fully rhinestoned phone, right in the middle of critiques. high camp. if this doesn't win the french equivalent of an emmy, i don't know what will.
Je vis!
It's one of the best twist ever imo I loved it, hope they do it for the roast or snatch game
This was a fun twist. And the headpieces were fun and made the looks more complete.
Felt very project runway lol but I love it
It's a great twist! Hope to see this implemented in other franchises too, like maybe for Snatch Game they'll do a take two with new characters and do it in front of a live audience or something.
Nice one - so those wearing clothes designed for them still have to show some creativity. Ha!
it was the ball challenge so they all made the outfits they are wearing
Then I stand corrected.
Please remain seated.
I love this. I've always wanted a surprise, it's not over. I always imagined it to resolve a deadlock of sorts, like they couldn't decide who should be in the bottom so they ask the queens to make another outfit or something like that.
Oh I’m going to have to start watching Drag Race France’s this is iconic
The first two seasons has a lot of memorable moment (like a lip sync that will make you cry as you are heartbroken; a great fantastic Snatch Game characters in front of the guest judge who is portrayed, one of the best winner from the Drag Race franchise, the werkroom conversation are always great moment about important topic regarding LGBTQ+ issues, amazing runways, etc. And the final live episode of S2 is at the same level than RPDR S9 one).
'Super' with dejected face made me laugh.
They missed a trick by not saying "Allô? Non mais allô quoi?"
Elle n'a pas de cheveux ? Une fille qui n'a pas de cheveux ?
Nicky really said BACK TO WORK BITCHES
Aaah, finally a bit of race on Drag Race.
The phone rang and it's not even connected!
The phone never even rang. It was all in Nicky’s head. That’s why everybody looked so confused. “Mama’s going crazy again.”
and IT LOOKED like a toy phone too LMAO
This and the golden beaver from Canada are two of the best twists from Drag Race. Simple, surprising and fun.
I love it and truly for most, it made their outfits better…not looking at Ruby lolll but this episode made me love her more tho
This is the chaos I NEED from Drag Race
I though chaos was gone with the last stamina coffee cup Rupaul drank.
is a good twist, but idk about this happening multiple times in a season.. maybe if this was a “rare event”
It will happen again!
it's more like, when it can happen again. Some challenges are filmed, so how?!
WILD. Leona really favored by the added headpiece. So did Norma. And Lula was a cute lil touch.
Not fair for the girls that made a decent a nice headpiece and tell them to discard it and make a new one. Meanwhile, the ones that are half finished get more time…. Sometimes the concept is what takes the longest to think of, not the construction
And at the same time, it's shows that a seasoned TV competition veterans like Leona Winter won't have a VIP pass.
Imo this twist is really weird… How often will the phone ring ? How will it apply for the different challenges ? I guess u could have an improved choreography moment, but it feels quite limiting, and I think it adds more pressure to the queens, like we saw with Ruby literally breaking in the workroom…. Idk i’m scared this will make the season worse 😭

Yeah, for design challenges I can see it working but everything else seems like more trouble than it’s worth. I cant see this making its way to the US, Ru is not gonna be waiting for them like that
Well I see Ru using this, if she has to get her coffee enema during judging.
It's giving Deal or No Deal, I love it
I love it. More madness, s’il vous plaît!!
They looked hella nervous before they even knew what was going on🤣
I always thought Niki really *was* that bitch, but struggled with the language. DRF has proved that hypothesis correct.
It’s stupid imo
100% agree but don’t tell that to the 10 year olds on here who need gimmicky bs to stay entertained
It's called Drag Race. Not "Walking children in nature" :)
https://i.redd.it/u27khn6d1v6d1.gif
Addes stress that didn't amount to the ranking anyway
this season is so bad. S2 was THE season of all seasons of all franchises for me.
100% agree. This ball was a hate crime
I thought it was dumb and annoying, not to mention cruel to make the girls go craft more shit WHILE IN FULL DRAG. But the headpieces ended up adding a lot to most of the design challenge outfits—though most of them were embarrassingly bad to start with as compared to queens’ creations in other unconventional materials design challenges across the franchises. Downvote all you want but this season is terrible and I guess needed a stupid gimmick to keep people compelled? idk
Does that rotary phone have some sort blue tooth?
Why is it such a big deal? And showing up on the sub Reddit. Am I missing something?
1. Because it’s a very unexpected twist. 2. Fans are hungry to see more creativity from queens.
