Alexis Michelle knows she has some explaining to do to fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. The former Season 9 queen, now the latest eliminated from All Stars Season 8, tussled some fan feathers when eliminating Lala Ri in Episode 8. The surprising elimination came one week after Lala won the Episode 7 challenge and after she had saved Alexis from going home that night. When Episode 8’s sewing challenge came around, Lala asked Alexis to return the favor by saving her from being cut from the competition. Alexis said she would never forget Lala’s kindness but sent her packing that night anyway. TV Insider caught up with Alexis following her elimination in All Stars Season 8 Episode 9.

And then there were three. With only a few weeks until a winner is crowned, Friday’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 8 treated viewers to a feast of insult comedy, high-art clownery and, most importantly, loose slices of bologna.

Kandy Muse faced the challenge with arrogance, sorry confidence, having already won a roast, while Jessica Wild was dreading the idea of hurting anyone. And then there was Jimbo,...

Acting challenges on Ru Paul’s Drag Race have a very storied her-story on the show. while there have been some amazing performances on the show there have also have had some truly terrible ones such as the Lady McBitch challenge during season seven! However, I have to say that last week’s improvised whodunnit ‘forensic queens’ was one of my all-time favourites. Following in the footsteps of the Netflix original series Murderville or the highly successful Jury Duty show, the queens of All-Stars eight had to improvise their way through a series of scenes. In a shocking surprise, the two highlights of this challenge were Lala (who claimed her first win of the season this episode) and Jessica Wilde, who both delivered hilarious portrayals of the crooked security guard and snubbed All-Star queen respectively. Before we could even get to the challenge however there were buckets full of drama...

In their calmer moments, Deja was able to explain to Bianca that like Peppermint last week, the game should not be based on track record and each queen should play for themselves.

In their recap of the episode, Peppermint said that she actually likes when alliances form in all star seasons, but Bianca took issue with Kandy Muse changing up the rules of going by track record when she made her elimination decision this week. They also discussed that Jimbo is the clear front runner after getting her third challenge win and that Kahanna Montrese is on thin ice based on track record alone. Peppermint thinks that at the start of the competition the queens should go by...

“RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” season 8 continued on June 9 with the sixth episode streaming on Paramount+. Airing concurrently with the main show is its Werk Room-focused sister series “Untucked,” now in its 5th season for the “All Stars” franchise. This season, the eliminated queens have the opportunity to compete in the “Fame Games,” an online and social media component to the competition where fans will vote for a queen to win the $50,000 cash prize up for grabs.
In episode 6 of “Untucked,” the 7 remaining queens reflected on the latest challenge and discussed the upcoming elimination. That decision could be in the hands of the group vote among the safe queens or solely in the hands of the week’s top performer, Kandy Muse, if she won the lip sync against the secret assassin Angeria Paris VanMichaels. The bottom queens up for elimination this time around were Jaymes Mansfield, for the second time,...

In last week’s episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars season eight we saw Lala Ri and Heidi N Closet really shine as the bumbling duo of inexperience criminals and Jimbo claim the win after performing as an unhindered character dragged into a murderous rampage after being bullied by some popular girls in school! Jimbo keeps up her streak of losing every single lip-sync she had ever competed in on the show as we see the return of Shannel all the way from season one! I do have to say that the performance itself was fairly repetitive with the returning assassin twirling and Jimbo head-banging throughout! We sadly had to say farewell to Darienne Lake after Alexis Michelle essentially blamed the whole team’s shortcomings on her as the dead celebrity island was initially Darienne’s idea. I thought that while the idea was hers initially there was plenty...

Each week on “The Pit Stop,” Bianca Del Rio recaps the latest episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” season 8 alongside a guest host. Following Friday’s fifth episode, season 14 Miss Congeniality Kornbread Jeté makes her series debut to give us their thoughts on a “messy” episode of “Snatch Game of Love.” Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In their recap, Kornbread thought that queens who won their original “Snatch Game” competitions had the bigger task to live up to the expectation and queens who hadn’t competed in it before, like Lala Ri, were in a better position to perform well. Kornbread never got to do “Snatch Game” herself and told Bianca that she had planned to perform as Leslie Jordan or the Tiger King. On this cast, Kornbread was excited to see Jimbo do Shirley Temple, but agreed that Kahanna Montrese...

Being in the bottom can be a one-time blip for a Drag Race competitor. As with any reality competition show, you want to avoid multiple stints in the red. Darienne Lake was in the bottom in RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 8 Episode 4, but that wasn’t a rare occurrence; she had just been in the bottom two the episode prior, when Mrs. Kasha Davis was sent home. What was rare, however, was that Darienne was up for elimination alongside two other queens instead of one. Host RuPaul deemed Darienne, Alexis Michelle, and Jaymes Mansfield’s group performance the worst of the episode, sending an uncommon trio into the deep end. The episode’s winner, Jimbo, went up against Lip Sync Assassin Shannel (the first queen to ever appear on Drag Race in Season 1) for the rights to send one queen home. And in the end, the group chose Darienne.

At the end of last week’s episode, we sadly learnt that former Mrs Continental, Naysha Lopez, would sadly be leaving the competition after Jimbo tried (and failed) to get her revenge on her from Drag Race UK vs The World with the returning lip-sync assassin Pangina Heels! After what can only be described as a fairly one-sided battle, it was revealed that the group had decided that it was Natasha’s time to leave which meant that the other bottom queen Kahana Montrese would get another chance this season. It was when the actual votes were revealed however that we saw our first glimpses of drama from this season of returning queens after Jessica explained that the reason she voted for Kahana to home was that she couldn’t vote for Naysha as they are both from Puerto Rico. While I understand that this is a natural connection between...

I have to say that out of all of the opening episodes Drag Race has had over the last couple of years, last week’s episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars season eight was one of the better ones! The returning (and mostly fan favourite) queens were grouped together to perform on two different versions of “Fame, Money, Success and Glamour” and while the song itself wasn’t particularly iconic every queen did a really good job of reintroducing themselves to the audience! However, the highlight of the episode would have to be the That lip-sync between episode winner Kahana Montrese and secret lip-sync assassin Aja. This lip-sync was one of my favourite battles I have seen in a long time with both queens bringing a different style of performance – with the former showcasing her Vegas-centric, pop icon genre which contrasted beautifully against the latter ballroom excellence! However, it...

I have to admit that going into the opening episode of this season of Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars I was quite surprised by the selection of queens asked to return to the werk-room. Don’t get me wrong every single one of the queens are extremely talented but some of these were not obvious choices or necessarily queens I would invite if I was in charge of casting. Unlike previous seasons there are not a lot of queens who have made it to the top four/three on their original seasons in fact there are quite a few queens in this iteration of all-stars who were eliminated first!
The first queen returning to our screens is the blessed and highly-favoured, gap-tooth icon Heidi N Closet from season twelve. This fan-favourite queen has been extremely busy recently with her podcast Hall and Closet (with co-star and season twelve winner...

Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In their recap of episode 1, Bianca and Alaska started by critiquing the opening look choices that the queens made. Alaska was confused why Naysha Lopez put on a prison jumpsuit, favoring more the queens that extended their known brand in their looks, like Kahanna Montrese and Heidi N Closet. Alaska’s personal favorite though was Jaymes Mansfield‘s and Bianca preferred Jimbo for being different and fun. Then, for the “Famous Then” and “Famous Now” runway mini challenge, Alaska and Bianca both liked Alexis Michelle‘s looks most.

Friday’s premiere welcomed an eclectic group of familiar faces back to the Werk Room for a second shot at glory — or a third if you count Jimbo, the only queen to have already competed twice (on Canada’s Drag Race Season 1 and Drag Race: UK vs the World).

Are you ready for the “Fame Games”? For the first time in herstory, RuPaul Charles is shaking up the competition in “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” Season 8 to allow two methods of success. “There are two ways to win,” Mama Ru tells her 12 comeback contestants in the video trailer above. (See the cast list right here.) “The first is the traditional way,” the host explains, and that comes with the normal $200,000 cash prize. In the second way, “fans will determine which of our eliminated queens will win Queen of the Fame Games,” and they’ll receive a not-too-paltry $50,000.
