Season eight of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars has been a whirlwind of drama. While fans have always enjoyed the fights and drama on the reality show since its debut in 2009, they were left dissatisfied with this season, known as All Stars 8. Heidi N Closet, a beloved fan favorite and Miss Congeniality from Season 12, decided to quit the show after the Werk Room drama. This led to a Twitter feud between her and Kahana Montrese. On the other hand, Kahana also contemplated quitting the show, prompting RuPaul to intervene and prevent any more self-eliminations. It’s understandable that quitting the show would be seen as throwing away a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, considering how All Stars serves as a redemption arc for returning queens. But was being on the show a good place to begin with, considering the money and effort the queens invested in preparing for the season?
Alexis Michelle, a contestant from Season 9, also had her fair share of dramatic moments on the show. Images of her crying in almost every episode went viral on the internet. However, this became a meme moment and earned her backlash when she chose to save Kandy Muse over LaLa Ri. In defense of Alexis Michelle, all the queens have the freedom to play the game as they prefer. This was evident when Naomi Smalls eliminated the front-runner from All Stars 4, Manila Luzon. But what didn’t sit well with the audience was Alexis Michelle’s promise to LaLa Ri that she wouldn’t forget about her if she won the Episode 8 maxi challenge. Although Alexis didn’t explicitly promise to save her, she took responsibility for her decision and apologized on Twitter.
“It was an impossible choice, a lose-lose situation. Two incredible queens who I admire, love, and respect. I made a choice. After sleeping on it, I wished I could have done differently, I’m sorry for disappointing you. People make mistakes. I own this one. No edit, just me.”
Alexis is Unhappy With the Voting System in ‘All Stars 8’
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly’s Quick Drag podcast, Alexis Michelle expressed her dissatisfaction with the voting format of All Stars 8. She shared that the most unfortunate part of the game was having to crush someone’s dream. Alexis wanted to save LaLa Ri, but she also didn’t want to send Kandy home. She explained that the voting format presented an impossible decision from the start. However, Alexis clarified that she doesn’t hold any resentment towards her fellow queens but is resentful about being put in
