She spares Kandy Muse, someone she had drama with just an episode ago.
Alexis may agonize over the choice this week, but she ultimately just goes with what she says her “heart” says, despite LaLa saving Alexis just last week. Manila Luzon being chopped in All Stars 4 was a fundamentally “unfair” decision, but watching Naomi Smalls decide to take out major competition was thrilling television. If there was some great strategy at play as to why Alexis does this, I could get behind it. With four episodes to go, to boot! Imagine if Kylie Sonique Love or Ra’Jah O’Hara had been eliminated on Snatch Game during All Stars 6. But losing her here feels like the show is prematurely ending one of the only stories that had some true heat to it. Despite being a queen who had been really hitting her stride, LaLa no doubt deserves her bottom two placement this week. In a decision that I can only describe as “perplexing,” this week’s maxi-challenge winner, Alexis Michelle, chooses to send home LaLa Ri in fifth place. Any momentum the season could’ve built up as a competition also derailed when Jimbo won three of the first five challenges, setting her up as a nigh-invulnerable frontrunner.Īnd now, after stringing together a few strong episodes that gave the feeling that finally- finally-things might be turning around, All Stars 8 has hit a major roadblock once again. The big promised twist of the season, the Fame Games, proved to not be much of a twist at all, and the runways we’ve seen have been received by fans and queens alike as underwhelming. Enthusiasm about a cast that showed All Stars 6-like potential was quickly quashed by challenge performances that fell below that high standard. There’s something actually remarkable about how often RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 8 is getting in its own way.
