You know, it’s pretty telling when Heidi Neutral Closet, one of the most popular alums in the show up to this point, is so stressed out by the goings on that she pulls a Melissa BeFierce and quits. She was probably THE most requested to come back on All-Stars due to being the breakout star of Season 12. And you’d THINK the Neutral Closet be one that production would want to push because of that. But for her to get repeatedly shafted is mind-boggling to me. And it was sad to see her drop like that, especially after apparently spending a lot of money to prep for this season.

Imagine if on Project Runway they had the designers eliminate each other or Glow Up the MUAs. That’d just beat the purpose of those shows, which is exactly what Drag Race has done.

And this is largely due in part of the fans, queens can’t really be themselves without the fans throwing a massive cataclysm of hate towards *ANY* queen who dares to say something snippy or snide. Even a queen that shows that she’s living her best life and feeling her best self is marked for ridicule and bullying by the fandom.

Seems like the main reason that Jaymes was unanimously eliminated was that she was up against Kahanna, who the queens saw do better than the edit we saw in that episode, to a point where some queens said she should have placed high, not even safe, let alone bottom. Yes, Jimbo & Kandy were heavily favored, but they were never in the bottom against a better performing queen in their bottom episodes. So the queens had no reason to eliminate them.

This season is iconic not for the actual season itself, but for everything that's been happening outside of the show as it aired. Truly the most season of all time

Honestly my favourite moment of Lala vs Jaymes was when Lala did gravity defying dance moves and Jaymes cut off her toes and forced Jessica to eat them, and the Lala became Satan and ate everyone and won the season ❤

LOVED the Billie look…I was so disappointed the judges didn’t get camp when they saw it. It was RIDICULOUS and I laughed my ass off!

Honestly I think that Mrs. Kasha Davis and Jaymes Mansfield could have made it farther

Honestly, this was a Boring season FOR ME because it was super obvious they were gonna rig a lot of stuff for Jimbo. With how much of a fan favorite she was i wouldnt be surprised they pulled a chad/Alaska situation as to make an all stars season for them to get a crown.

Heidi already went through this, and she said they barked about the situation and Kandy admitted to it while they both talked it over. But on Roscoes, Kandy *and* Jimbo already set the stage for that whole debacle when Kandy approached Jimbo that she was bored. Behind the scenes there was nothing going on and it was generally quite quiet on set while filming, so Jimbo complied with Kandy that they wanted to shake things up a bit. The only difference was that Heidi wasn’t aware of what Jimbo and Kandy were up to. Heidi also explained that although that situation didn’t help with the way that she felt, at Roscoes she said that she wasn’t in the right headspace during the filming of All Stars 8, one being that she assumed that the format was going to be like All Winners, the other is that their was massive turmoil within her family. That being the backbone of her family-her grandmother had passed away, and her brother pulling a gun out on their uncle. It was very apparent that Heidi wasn’t entirely herself when Ru brought up Heidi’s grandmothers passing in the one on one. Heidi clearly wasn’t ready to confront it nor address it. So I didn’t understand why Ru brought it up in the first place. Heidi said she probably would have left regardless and that she doesn’t hold any ill will towards any of the girls in that moment.

@@RoyG.BivDevoe What’s crazy is the fandom can’t comprehend that these shows are either fun or bad for the Queens or anybody in general. When you go through what Heidi went through, Drag Race feels like a paradise because it’s something to take your mind of what’s happening at home. If her first experience was one of the best moments of her life, she felt that going back meant it will put her in a better place from her situation at home and that wasn’t what happened. Idk why fans keep blaming Kandy and Alexis for no reason when Heidi kept confirming it wasn’t the girls fault

“She was either crying or trying to fuck La-La Ri this entire season” that sent me 😂😂😂

Im honestly tired of Drag Race making the winner extremely obvious from the beginning

God that broccoli look from Mera (4:22) never fails to just take me the fuck OUT 😂😂

Alexis should've won the musical challenge. She had the most difficult job and performed it flawlessly. Her runway was one of the best of the night. What could she have done better?

very excited for the video. i have to say though, i think the moment jimbo was announced it was clear to me that this is a season made for jimbo to win. the others never stood a chance at winning, and not bc they are bad. quite the contrary I think there were so many talented queens on this cast. Like heidi, jessica, kasha davis, lala ri, alexis, jaymes... edit: also damn i'd be pissed too if i was naysha but honestly i would have refused if i was her. bc if you are someone that is cast two weeks before filming begins, probably bc they didn't have enough queens or bc someone dropped, then most likely they didn't care about the previous queen and won't be caring about naysha who is coming as an alternative. it's just you know there will be no storyline, no saving, pushing or anything. and that's why girl did have to leave after the second episode. that and her having not enough time to truly assemble something great. bc honestly naysha is probably one of the most beautiful queens imo, so her runways could have been jawdropping.

Great analysis! And such awful season... I wasn't surprised Heidi went home cause imagine bringing these stunning looks and be safe 2 times over Lala and then doing the best in SNL challenge and again being safe. She knew production doesn't care about her. Best decision ever! RPDR is going down further and further with how the treat their queens😢

I’m just gonna be honest here. The fame games was the most unorganised, biased mess of a twist I’ve ever seen. Lots of love and props to the queens, but to me (very much just MY opinions so pls don’t come for me 😭), Kahanna deserved to win. I understand the critique that her silhouettes were repetitive and it was just a lot of her body…. But come on- you can’t justify another person winning this. She didn’t have a single bad look on the season, and she truly might have had one of my favourite runway packages (along w Shea, love them both). The effort, money and time that went into perfecting those looks were insane and all of them came out perfect. Like the detail: The hair on her snow bunny look was 🤌 and her costum shoe for the A$$ the world turns… not to mention the detail and creativity on that banana look for the ball???? I love Lala and she is truly is one of the best performance queens to come out on the season, but mama… those looks were not it. Just by looking at the ball or her Ruly fans look 💀 I don’t get why production wanted to meddle with the votes. Plus, that must have been SO biased. I get why people were upset at Jessica’s elimination or why James was a fan favourite, but it was made rly obv that fans could vote for whoever they wanted to and that would be that. You can’t justify giving Lala queen of the fame games over Kahanna if it was based just on looks. Not to mention I preferred Naysha’s, Darienne’s, and Alexis’ packages as a whole. Ik it’s not the queens fault at all so please don’t send hate, but I just wanted to point out the blatant manipulation behind the scenes. And finally, massive props to Kandy and Naysha for standing up for themselves and production.

I think the fact that Jessica needed so much fan support to be considered for All Stars, and needed a run like this on this season for production to take her seriously, speaks to a lingering bias against queens who don't speak English as a first language. Her run on season 2 was so good, she had a challenge win, and honestly a somewhat dubious elimination against Tatianna, who was The Drama on a season with multiple the dramas. Jessica really is and always has been the kind of top tier Drag Race contestant of the sort that made up the casts of All Stars 1 and 2, and for some reason only production couldn't see it, for reasons that I'm sure I have no idea what they could possibly be.

I also think that the best way to do the Fame Games is each week, after the episode, they open the voting for like 2 days (saturday and sunday) so we can vote for the best look, and then close the voting until the next week. I think it would be more fair, because if we wait until the end, a lot of thing can come into consideration, but if we’re voting each week, it’s more just based on that week

I love Kandy. Shes so sweet and chill off camera. I think she said in one of her videos with Trixie that she gives production this character they want which is smart. Just doesn't paint her in the best light to the highly volatile drag race fandom and we all know how they can get.

Alexis Michelle is great tv. Plus, her red gown in the finale is one of the best dresses to grace the main stage ever. It was a thing of beauty.

I don’t know where this idea of Heidi having a different story coming from. She told Jimbo that Kandy said something along the lines of “you know we’re going to have to take her out right?” Kandy has admitted to saying this in a video with Jimbo. She even admitted to saying it twice like Heidi said. What Heidi said was straight up true. Point blank, period.

Even though this season flopped so hard. Those promo photos slayed so much

"Don't Funk It Up by Sylvester" is such a drag race fan thing to say 💀

Do I like the decisions Kandy and Alexis made during the season? No. Am I going to act like who they are on tv is who they are in real life?

This may be controversial, but I voted in the Fame Games with the unfair multiplier in mind. Of my 10 votes, I gave 3 each to Kasha, Darienne, and Jessica and the last vote to Lala. I specifically only gave Lala 1 instead of 3 because I knew her multiplier would make it 3 anyways. So I effectively made it that I was giving 3 votes to the 4 queens I was torn between. The multiplier was stupid, so I mathed my way around it. As for what exactly I was voting for, I genuinely didn't know if I was supposed to be voting based on runway or performance or personality or what, hence why I was torn between those 4 queens.

for me, this was the season of jessica, kahanna and lala. love these girls now even more than i loved. jimbo deserved to win but the editing failed to build well her path to the crown. kasha and darienne are the ones who must return again in the future cause they deserved better.

Even though Kandy’s hate is too much. She is not innocent, she knew what she was Doing, she hurt a friend. If she wants to ve a villain be that. But be Real about it. That is why tiffany new York and Megan from i love money were so loved. They were the “villains” of their shows but they knew how to play the game and never pretended to be anything else. If she wants to be the villain and “liked” take responsability of your actions. Do not deny what happened. We All are humans and make mistakes.

The cast had so much potential and it could’ve been such a great season if production hadn’t pulled double and triple shifts. Did we all kinda know from the jump they’d probably push for Jimbo and Kandy being in the top? Yeah, we did, but they’re both top tier performers and good television! If production hadn’t pulled out all the stops and made their involvement just a little bit less obvious, there wouldn’t be nearly as much Kandy hate going around right now. Production played themselves hard and really soured AS for a massive chunk of the fandom. None of these queens can really celebrate their highs here because it’s been so tainted from the rigging and backlash.

@@AphroditePisces96 for real! I get in some moments that Kandy’s personality can be a bit abrasive for some people, but I feel like a big portion of that is put on for tv because she knows production loves the queens who help generate on screen drama. The other queens have spoken about how nice she is, so I can’t imagine she’s as horrible as the fan hate implies. She’s super smart and a damn good strategist- that’s her only ‘offense’. Heck, I’d be plotting and playing to production as well to get as far as I could if I was in her position! Jimbo came in as production and Ru’s favorite and I never see people dogging her either. Jimbo is insanely talented and I’m happy for her win, but I definitely agree there was at least just as much production involvement there as there was for Kandy

Jessica and Jimbo skit on Episode 2 was gold. Kasha enhanced the skit, NOT overshadowed it. And that’s per the advice they received before the skit and the critiques and the runway. I Do NOT understand why this is difficult to accept for people. Jimbo ate this episode, end of story.

Am I the only person who didn’t really enjoy Jimbo’s Snatch Game? I know that’s not my kind of humor so that’s probably it, it just feels like everyone is treating it like the greatest thing in the world when it wasn’t.

So, I have some of the tea about the Darienne Lake and Mrs. Kasha Davis story, or lack thereof, and this comes from one of their Rochester sisters. Essentially, Darienne chose to not associate with Kasha during the filming of this series. Also, in the 3rd episode when both of them were in the bottom, part of Kasha's "pleading" was cut off. She mentioned how, for Darienne, this is all she really had. She doesn't have a significant other, no pets, nothing other than drag. That leads into what we see.
