In a season filled with twists, turns, and unforgettable moments, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 8 has concluded by crowning a remarkable champion. A mix of finalists, early eliminees, and an international Canadian queen made this All Stars cast one of the most diverse and exciting ever seen in the Drag Race history books.
The runway looks throughout the season were nothing short of breathtaking, with standout performances from Jimbo and Kahanna Montrese captivating audiences. However, it wasn’t without its lows, as beloved queens like Heidi N Closet, Mrs. Kasha Davis, and Darienne Lake faced unexpected eliminations, leaving fans heartbroken.
The grand finale arrived after 12 weeks of fierce competition, where the top two contenders, Canada’s Drag Race comic Jimbo and season 13’s diva Kandy Muse, battled it out in an electrifying lip-sync showdown. Jimbo’s eccentric and out-of-the-box number “I Remember Being Born” wowed the judges, while Kandy Muse’s unapologetic and energetic performance of “Pay Me With Money” left a lasting impression.
Following the lip-sync, all 12 queens returned to the stage for one last strut in the “Finale Fabulousity” category, showcasing their show-stopping looks. Kahanna Montrese stole the spotlight, flaunting a sunflower robe and crown, while Naysha Lopez and Jaymes Mansfield impressed as close contenders.
The season’s new twist, the ‘Fame Games,’ awarded LaLa Ri the title of “Queen of the Fame Games” after a controversial voting change. The final moment arrived, and fans’ anticipation reached its peak.
