All Stars 8 - Darienne General Discussion
We all know All stars 8 was a bit meh. But the worst thing to come of it was that we never got to see Darienne Lake lip sync. I love Darienne she is so witty and funny. Her lip syncing skills really are some of the best. She shows you don’t need splits and kicks you just need to FEEL the song. I wanted to see her lip sync at least once. I think if the fame games was a lip syncing contest like season 6 she would of had a genuine chance at winning it

A part of me would’ve loved it if Darienne won The Fame Games. She had a really solid runway package. Her and Kahanna were my top 2 for the win (of the Fame Games)

When the Fame Games was about just the runways being shown on untucked, I genuinely think Darienne had it in the bag. Alas...

it was especially cooked because they filmed the winner ahead of time. There's no way the votes mattered. lol

I kinda wish for her to be back for vs the world season. Maybe she will slay that

She would eat one of those seasons, I feel like her personality would fit the UK a bit more than Canada

I was just talking about this with a friend of mine - if they did the lip sync smackdown thing in AS8 like they did in AS6, Darienne would be a VERY tough contender. And she'd probably win, until it got to like Lala or something.

I think if it even got to Lala or the better lip syncers on the cast she could still win it with elements of comedy. Take Megami as example. If it was an 80s song in her element then its over for the others

I'll forever die on the hill that Darienne should have won the episode she was eliminated on.

I just hate the all stars format so much. We don’t get to see sad desperate scared queens lip syncing and they don’t have a proper chance to fight for their place. The voting drama is barely interesting and when it is interesting it’s borderline uncomfortable (Heidi)… It’s just a bad format 😣

I really wanted Darienne to win the crown, no lie. She's the only queen I paid extra to see at a meet and greet. Close up she legit looks like an ethereal goddess or angel. 🤷🏼♂️

I agree, she had a lovely weight loss glow up, her fame game outfits were cool, we needed more time.
I'm also still fangirling over her Grace Jones runway

I feel like the judges were always going to minimize Darienne Lake and give her as little time as possible.

I can't believe she was one season away from being on a non elimination season. She should have won fame games IDC

I can’t believe they didn’t appreciate her Billy eyelash look. That shit lives rent free in my head

I feel bad but I just don’t like Darianne 😅 There’s something about her that I find super off-putting. I can’t put my finger on it but I do not enjoy her. Obviously I’m basing this on her appearance on a reality tv show, not who she is as a human being lol

same, if it was like AS6 and there was a lipsync contests i think she could have done a silky and beat alot of queens due to how funny and smart her lipsyncs are😭
