![]() Meanwhile, Jimbo is a bit of a mess after losing her third lip sync this season (and sixth overall). This is not a case where existing RuPaul songs can be remixed, like we saw in All Stars 6’s Halftime Headliners challenge or in Season 14’s Moulin Ru! This will require all new music, written about an Old Hollywood figure that Ru reveres. She is not a Madonna or Cher, with musical styles that Leland and the song producers can mimic. Moreover, while Joan Crawford is an icon, there’s something that feels misjudged about choosing her as a Rusical subject. Moreover, Jimbo and Kandy Muse, two of the biggest characters of this season, notably bombed Rusicals in their previous seasons, with Jimbo eliminated and Kandy only saved thanks to Ru’s iconic “ Kandy wait!” moment. Sure, Alexis Michelle did well in her Rusical back in Season 9, but queens like Jaymes Mansfield, Jessica Wild, Kahanna Montrese and LaLa Ri have never done one. ![]() RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 8 continues Fridays on Paramount+ in the US, and WOW Presents Plus in the UK.I wouldn’t have expected it to be the Rusical challenge that would turn RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 8 around. On her way out, Jaymes jokes, “Well, I did better than last time!” She certainly did – and she will be missed. “I think Kandy maybe took an opportunity to eliminate a threat, but this is part of the game.” At least she takes it well. “I am gooped, gagged, and gobsmacked right now,” Jaymes admits. She picks up the win – and an extra $30,000 – and boots Jaymes from the competition. Kandy has to lip sync against Angeria Paris VanMichaels, and the slow song means she can serve face throughout. This is Kahanna’s third time in the bottom two, so surely she’s going to be sent home, right? WRONG! Jaymes somehow ends up in the bottom two, alongside Kahanna. Kandy is eventually named as the top All Star of the week. Kandy and Jessica cement themselves as the top two queens of the week with their incredible offerings, but again, everyone looks good! On the runway, category is Night of 1,000 Grace Joneses. This makes it harder for Mama Ru, who’s dressed like a Greek Goddess, to decide who’s in the bottom. Some are better than others, and there’s a hilarious bit where Jessica keeps saying “ass” instead of “axe.” Aren’t accents wonderful? Bring it to the runway Leland, meanwhile, helps the queen record their vocals. Jaymes Mansfield and Jimbo weren’t born to dance, but they do what they can. Kandy blows Jessica out of the water with her vocal ability, and gets the part.Ĭhoreography is with the special guest judge of the week, Adam Shankman. To make it a fair decision, they ‘audition’ for their fellow queens. Most get what they want, but Kandy Muse and Jessica Wild both want the same. The next day, the queens have to decide who will take on which role in the Joan Crawford Rusical. Even with Alexis Michelle noting she is the biggest threat, having won the most competitions. It’s a pretty unexpected moment, but the other queens rally around her. They choke up when describing how they fall flat when performing in front of RuPaul. Jimbo got a little emotional about losing their sixth lip sync in their Drag Race career. RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars continued, as the remaining contestants were told they would have to perform in JOAN: The Unauthorized Rusical. Kahanna Montrese especially, as the vote would have unanimously sent her home. After a double save following the self-elimination of Heidi N Closet, the queens were happy to survive another day.
