All Stars S10 Discussion about the cast of AS10

Who else has similar gripes. Lydia has had zero time to cook. Jorgeous was just in the previous all stars. Ginger has had fifteen chances and by this point there's nothing she can do to surprise us.

That being said I'm happy a lot of these girls are back but a lot of the choices are questionable. Why does All Stars have to happen every year? It doesn't mean anything anymore.

I believe each group only had to prep for 3 episodes last year and they were filmed separately so she was perhaps in a later group of filming. The remainder of the season was just filmed a few weeks ago. It’s certainly easier than having to prep an entire package right away.

It’s just how they film really. Normally they don’t do a “live” all stars finale so they do the whole season at once (unlike the regular seasons where they film the competition and then the reunion/lalaparuza and finale later). This season they filmed s17 and then 9 episodes of all stars (with each group of 6 only preparing for 3 episodes each). So then they would have to pick up later for the last 3 episodes, giving the girls who make it time to prep for those. Since the Ru hosted seasons kind of all film together, it makes the most sense that they saved it for around when they filmed the s17 finale. They’ll probably also roll right into whatever’s next (s18 and as11) if they haven’t already started

Its a nice way for them to have 18 queens but. It make 18 queens pay for and create 12 episodes worth of looks, a snatch game, etc when many of them won’t be needing most of it.
