RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars 8 - Oh Wow! You Eight and Left No Crumbs

[Luc]

I saw people talking about it on Reddit and yeah, it seems like it's fake.

[tulibudibouchu]

There is absolutely no way Bianca would waste her time on it unless she’s offered millions or something lol

[Josh_The Original]

For Queens of this calibre, they are being done dirty by a season (so far) this underwhelming.

Episode 1
- Weak start - really really niche song choice (aka the producers of RPDR). Really underwhelming.
Should have been in the bottom: Monica and Jaymes
Done dirty: Darienne
Winner: Kahanna (I guess)

Episode 2
- Easily one of the most AWKWARD episodes I've seen. The Queens did the absolute best they could, but the lack of an actual audience, and the usual curse of RPDR scripted scenes, horrible combination. Thank God for Jimbo is all I can say, but WTF was that Lip Sync?!
Should have been in the bottom: Naysha and Kahanna
Done dirty: Meh...
Winner: Jimbo

Episode 3
- Design challenge, good. But the malaise is just so strong. It's already really hard to give a fuck about this season. I'm only really watching for Jimbo and Heidi at this point. La la getting praise for not being a total fuck up? This is All Stars ffs and Kandy's looks? Come on.
Should have been in the bottom: Kasha and Darienne (The Lake may be more of a pond, but the taste level remains questionable) AND Lala
Done dirty: Heidi and Alexis
Winner: Heidi

There's an All Winners 2 list going around. I'd take it with an whole grain of salt because my source is not the most reliable.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A SPOILER FOR ALL STARS 8


Krystal Versace (UK 3)
Bob the Drag Queen (US 8)
Priyanka (CAN 1)
Blu Hydrangea (UKVTW 1)
Alaska (US AS2)
Lawrence Chaney (UK 2)
Bianca del Rio (US 6)
Kylie Sonique Love (US AS6)

This is fake for a few reasons:

1. There is no way they're doing another All Winners so soon. This won't become like regular AS when there's a new season every year.
2. Lawrence Chaney has been very cagey about competing again, and while she has slightly softened on it recently, I highly doubt she'll come back right now
3. Kita Mean has actively said she is interested in coming back, and there is no way they'll cast 3 UK queens and not one of the DU queens
4. Alaska is partially blacklisted from WOW (not officially, but they're distancing themselves from her slightly) because of her association with Willam
5. I doubt they've got the budget to cast both Bob AND Bianca - and I find it very hard to believe Symone isn't included while these two are
6. Even if they are going All Winners next, it'll be a while before they film it. There is Global All Stars and they're currently filming S16 right now, so there's no way they will have a castlist so early

Also, I hope it's fake because that's such an underwhelming set of contestants now that we have Jimbo on AS, I think they'll open up the doors to more international queens. I know Priyanka is on there, but I'd hope they would consider other international queens too. Sharonne, Admira Thunderpussy and Envy Peru (the latter rumoured for the first All Winners) all speak English well, and will bring a level of international culture to the show. We don't know what Global All Stars is yet, but even if it was an All Winners season, they'd need to bring in more than just US and UK winners.

I don't think Bianca would do it but I do think WOW will soften on Alaska. The PitStop guesting was a good reminder of her!

I also don't think they would invite Kita over Spankie.

[Andy Hall]

I find it so hard to believe that Blu Hydrangea would ever be brought back for that kind of thing, unless they were desperate.

This! Over Violet? Aquaria? Symone? Willow Pill?

[Jiffy]

I think even Blu realizes she's the most underwhelming winner across all franchises.

[Eduardo Zuckerberg]

I honestly could see Bl* going for it.

I think she has a chip on her shoulder and would want to prove haters (me) wrong. And would want to further ingratiate herself into WOW's good graces/Drag Race lore. She just doesn't in any form scream WINNER or even Star! to me. Especially over who she beat. Worst by far.

also bob is unavailable until 2024 anyway beacuse he's touring with madonna like---

they're gonna need to offer the gurls at least 1/4 of a million as the prize if they want to lock in the likes of Bob, Bianca, Violet, etc.. and they better

Sure. But to quote the great All Star Gia Gunn:

[Eduardo Zuckerberg]

I know

Hence me already prepping myself seeing that demon twank on TV again.

[traxton]

Maude Apatow has got to be the blandest waste of a guest judge ever. Every other comment was "you are amazing!" ; "you made me laugh!" ; "you look gorgeous!". Even in Untucked, she was all giddy and giggling like a fangirl and not really adding anything constructive to the conversation. I can't. I wonder if Alexis was subtly shading Maude (being a nepo baby) with her question on whether she had any advice for the queens who are interested in an acting career.

How is Heidi still safe when she gave a slamdunk performance. She's getting the Jan treatment for sure.

Will Jimbo ever win a lipsync? Poor girl couldn't even one up a relatively weak opponent in Shannel.

[Andy Hall]

Lmao at Alexis throwing Darienne under the bus during the critiques. Her dramatics are really giving this season. It's interesting to watch her producing efforts in the werk room vs. Kandy, who is being pretty messy.

[Katharine]

Heidi robbed two weeks in a row, whew.

[Igor BiH]

Yeah, the judging this year is some serious bullshit. Jessica/Jimbo/Kandy was actually my least favorite of the 3 teams. I was super pumped when this cast was announced, but it's clear this is another year where the challenges are a mere formality until they crown the inevitable winner that was already decided on.

[stage_star]

Heidi and LaLa I hate this show and I hope it last forever

[stage_star]

This should've been judged individually

WIN: Heidi
TOP: LaLa, Jimbo
SAFE: Kandy, Jessica, Darienne
LOW: Jaymes
BOTTOM: Alexis, Kahanna

[benutty]

Heidi robbed two weeks in a row, whew.

absolutely should have been the winner; as it is, abysmal challenge, abysmal winner, abysmal lip sync (jimbo was DREADFUL), but correct elimination
