‘RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars’ Elimination Causes Social Media Outrage
VH1 / Paramount+ ©2021 Paramount+, Inc. Reading Time: 3 minutes
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars may have just debuted the most serious episode yet. The challenge was definitely less glitz this week. It tackled more significant topics and was super different than the usual giggle fest that each episode offers. The part about the episode that we didn’t like is the fact that a huge internet favorite was eliminated.
The Queens Get Deep During Talk Show Challenge On ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars’
This week, the queens were challenged to create their own talk shows. Eureka O’Hara, A’keria C. Davenport, and Trinity K. Bonet were put on a team together. Their topic was sex. A’keria opened up about previously living her life as a transgender woman. Trinity spoke about being openly HIV positive and how people need to educate themselves about it more. Eureka moderated the panel.
Scarlet Envy, Kylie Sonique Love, and Ra’Jah Ohara talked about motherhood. It was clear that this team was in trouble when Scarlet and Kylie were beefing over who was going to take on the high-energy moderator role. Scarlet shared her experience of having two moms. Ra’Jah opened up about her mother and how they are no longer close.
Ginger Minj, Jan, and Pandora Boxx were put in a group together to discuss body issues. Ginger shared that she had a bowel obstruction when she was a teenager. Jan talked about people commenting about her weight after competing on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 12. Pandora was honest about loving botox.
The Winner of This Week’s Challenge Came As a Total Shock
The runway category this week was Clash of the Patterns. Trinity paid homage to Chadwick Boseman with her outfit. Scarlet’s outfit was made out of her grandparent’s love letters. The little quirks that she adds to her outfits are always so tastefully done. Once again this week, Jan’s purple outfit fell a bit flat.
Trinity, A’keria, and Eureka were named the best team of the week. In a huge shock, Ginger was named the top All Star of the week after a somewhat flat performance. She wasn’t even on the winning team! RuPaul certainly has her favorites this season. For some reason, Scarlet, one of the standouts of the challenge, got roasted by RuPaul.
Jan got clocked for her outfit and acting too much during the challenge. She broke down on the stage crying. Pandora was also roasted for holding back. Jan, Scarlet, and Kylie were named as the bottom three. Honestly, Scarlet should not have been in the bottom. Pandora should have been there instead.
Season 6 Winner Bianca Del Rio Randomly Shows Up Before the Most Unfair Elimination
Thank the RuPaul’s Drag Race gods for spicing up this episode with a major fan favorite queen. They brought in Bianca Del Rio who never got to lip-sync in her season. Unfortunately, she did not get to lip-sync here either. She was pretty much just back for a hilarious comedy bit.
Mayhem Miller was the actual lip-sync assassin this week. This was an interesting choice considering Mayhem essentially gave up during RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 5. Mayhem and Ginger performed “Phone” by Lizzo. Ginger was chosen as the winner of the lip-sync after seriously turning it out. She chose to eliminate Scarlet.
Scarlet has been very underrated this season and has not had a single bad runway. The internet will not forgive RuPaul for coming at Scarlet so hard and putting her in the bottom. Twitter has labeled Scarlet as the “robbed” queen of the season. It really did seem like Jan was going to be sent home instead.
Who do you think should have went home this week on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars?
