Last week we looked at and broke down all of the rigged moments from RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 8, and this week we're going to break down how the season would have went if there was no riggory! As always I try to be as objective as possible when deciding challenge winners, lip sync results, eliminations, and placements. This season definitely changes a lot, right from the jump, when you take away the riggory, so buckle up!
Will Jimbo and Kandy remain the top 2? Will Jessica snag more wins along the way? And which queens will get cut way before their time on the actual season? We'll look at every episode one by one and figure it all out!
Let me know in the comments below what you would change that I did and how accurate you think I was!

Tbh that Jimbo win was so unnecessary and nonsensical. How did she win and Jessica didn’t even place high when one of the critiques was that they both complemented each other really well.

I really don’t think Heidi would quit had she won the ball (as she should’ve). Sure maybe the Kahanna drama would still have gotten to her but she probably would still have enough determination in her to stay (in any case she probably would’ve quit next episode if Kahanna’s elimination had gotten to her). Also I think the first episodes should’ve had a bottom 3 instead, at least the first 2, in order to give queens more options (but Jaymes would probably gone home ep1 and Monica ep 2 either way)
Kasha's dress is very clearly meant to mimic a ceramic creamer dish. with a handle and a pourer. Similar to a gravy boat but for cream. Hope that helps.

I think you ignored one important thing about Kasha "acting defeated". First off, she said on Roscoe's that they cut it like this so it would look like she was feeling defeated, and second off, would she still "act defeated" after just winning a challenge? You're not factoring in everything.
Honestly the producers should have made the talent show the comeback challenge and put it at like top 5

If Darienne got Jaymes role then I feel like she would’ve been safe since it wasn’t a heavy choreo role, and she had an AMAZING runway that episode
@silvercyndaquil8472
Жыл бұрын
I would agree except Jaymes did really well in that role and still got put in the bottom - I don't think Darienne could do anything to improve upon what Jaymes did since there's nowhere else to really bring it, so the one advantage she has is her runway being way better. I guess since this is unrigged and Jaymes didn't deserve to be in the bottom you could make that argument? I don't know.
idk why people get so mad at your unrigging videos. Even when i disagree, i always think as, like, a little friend telling me their innocent reality show fantasies lmao. And you're one of the only content creators that actually use logic to make those kind of videos and admits when you're being biased. And even when sometimes you are biased, it's just a video, like, cmon, is playing silly, it didn't really happened and you highlight and give flowers to all the queens. imo some dudes in the comments desperately need to touch some grass.

Kashas look was supposed to be like a gravy boat but for sour cream. I thought it was a very good concept and a nice subtle execution. Classy with a little bit of camp
So proud of you, Zelda, and Bucy for making Drag Duels happen!! SERIOUSLY SUCH AN ICONIC ENDEAVOR I am so excited to watch. 😁
Justice for Darienne and Kasha tbh they just got thrown to the side this season and they deserved much more
I'm noticing a trend this year where the winners are all getting pushed really hard and it's boring to watch because a winner storyline is so much more compelling when they actually have competition track record wise
Why wasnt jimbo in the top when she had the second highest score ep 1 🤨
I think my issue with drag race at the moment, is I feel like we have have 3 seasons in a row now where I knew who was going to win just from the cast announcement! Of course Jinkx was going to win, of course Sasha was going to win and of course Jimbo wasn’t coming back for a 3rd time to a traditionally American cast season, not to win
The decision to send kasha home felt weird to me, yes she acted that way in the episode but coming of a win she would be way different and I dont think that cast would send a episode winner home in episode 3.
I honestly think that Alexis should have won the rusical over Kandy and Lala because she had the most difficult choreography and the hardest song, And she sounded the best (in my opinion). Also, to me, she had the best runway by far. Though I think that Lala would still have saved Kandy over Alexis though because they are such close friends.

Kasha is supposed to be a small creamer jar. The circle is the handle that you use to lift the jar with your index and thumb. The peak on the other shoulder is where the creamer pours out. However sour cream is thicker and not used in this type of jars, so I assume Kasha is just milk that got bad. That's why she's angry😅
the way im gonna be so seated for this
The circle on Mrs. Kasha's dress is the handle of a ceramic cream pitcher. The flat side is the spout. That's what makes it cream, and then her expression makes it "sour cream." Maybe if she had made the motion of pouring herself sideways, or had some fringe on the one shoulder to show the liquid pouring out it would have been more obvious.
Jimbo, Jessica, and Kahanna were my sentimental faves this season so I'm glad Kahanna had a better track record than her original, Jimbo still have 4 wins, and Jessica has the Jackie Cox/Eva Le Queen track record.
this made so much sense. i love how these videos make sense. i love lala and heidi
I think Kasha would have fought harder to stay having that one win and not being up against her friend.
Jaymes going home first it’s a no
Thank u for ur videos, I’m always excited to see them!! ✨✨
I loved the RRD Live challenge, and I think Kasha Davis really outshone everyone else! She deserved a win!
Kasha is a pitcher of cream. The round part is the handle & the other side is the spout
For me this season needed 2 winners per episode to be able to highlight more queens
I really don’t agree that Heidi would have quit in this scenario. I totally get what you mean about respecting her choice and not speculating and ‘imagining’ if she didn’t quit, but the thing is it’s quite obvious that it was her being overlooked that played a huge factor (and I get that. I understand her frustration and eventual decision). That, plus the whole Kandy/Jimbo/Alexis situation, all culminated into that. We literally saw that.

19:32 for Kasha’s Dairy Runway - the circle is supposed to be a handle like on a little creamer boat and the shape on the other shoulder is replicating the spout where the creamer would flow out of. Hope that helps 😘

I think Jimbo’s ball look is underrated. People say it’s just stuff glued to a corset but how else would you make a look using unconventional materials like that? It was a conscious decision by a competent designer and probably the most ambitious concept. Also the only look that understood the assignment. “Supermarket Ball.”

Kasha’s sour cream look is so readable to me - there’s clearly a handle and spout on the shoulders. The should probably have been bigger, but I loved the look and she sold the heck out of it.
I think Kahanna in the Improv challenge is a great example of a queen needing to be the next to go, even if they weren't the worst. I personally didn't think Kahanna did well enough to justify her being safe over Kandy and Alexis with how they had been performing up until that point
Everyone’s saying the circle on Kasha’s dress is a gravy boat handle but no one puts sour cream in those, that makes no sense. When you buy squeeze sour cream it has a white, circular safety seal to take so that’s what the circle is
The circle on Kasha's right shoulder is the place you would grab to pour, and the left shoulder is a spout. The idea is more cream for your coffee than cream for your taco lol

Kasha’s sour cream look: it literally looks like one of those containers u use to pour sauce. The circle is the holder and the other part is where you pour from.
> Objective and fair > Jessica getting no wins Make it makes sense please. I am confused and astonished
Honestly based on performances and the tea we’ve heard, the bottom 2 on Snatch Game would have been Kahanna and Heidi, and I can see all of the queens voting Heidi out if she were to stay for the critiques anyway. They would have respected her wishes to send her home and I can see her choosing her own lipstick like Ongina and Mayhem did.
Someone please send this to the producers. All Stars 8 would have been so much better... And something you didn't mention was how cool the storyline would be with Jimbo/Kandy saving each other back to back and ending up being the Top 2. It'd be the real Survivor of drag.
The circle on Kasha’s legend dairy shoulders is supposed to be the handle of a cream pitcher, with the pointed shoulder being the spout. In olden days cream was served in a pitcher alongside coffee, so with her “sour” facial expressions that’s how she arrived to sour cream. The joke is there, she just missed the execution.
Season 15 and AS8 weirdly have the same energy. Everyone knew Jimbo and Sasha Colby would win their seasons the second they were cast, so both seasons I was rooting for second place. By the time the seasons were ending I was just excited to see who would be next to the winner.
kashas first outfit was supposed to be a saucer of sour cream, but it was very clearly a white gown with the handle and nib added as an after thought.
Babe. Wake up. The Drag Detective just uploaded a new video. 😫
On Kasha's first look in episode 3, to me it's a milk saucer, it made sense right away.
Great video!!
I think that Kasha’s circle and that other thing on her arm is creating a silhouette representing a sauceboat. You know, as to pour the sour cream onto something you eat 🤷🏻♀️
i can honestly say i wouldnt change a thing!! such an enjoyable video to watch😁😁
Kasha's Sour cream look is in a gravy boat, that circle is the handle. I agree its basic but i liike it
Would be really interesting to see what would happen if the season was top 2 format!👀
So excited for drag duels!!!
I'm sorry but I dont think Hiedi would send Kasha home, after seeing the way she acted when Kasha went home on the actual season I think she would send Lala home. Or Naysha based on her og seasons design challenge.
I think Monica going home first is correct is was so energy and all of her runways for the fame games, showed that she didn’t have very elevated looks and her talent show. Performance was also low energy.
My only gripe is that in ep 1, if going by points, Jimbo would have been in a high placement with Jessica, not Alexis. If going by your own scoring system, she was tied in points on that episode with Jess, and Kahanna still winning. I love these videos.
Episode one was judged on THE LOOKS too. So Jaymes being in the bottom would have been unfair.

I love to see you do the full track records in unrigging videos, these are great vids.
I think the circle on Mrs. Kasha Davis's dress is supposed to be a handle and the part sticking out is supposed to be a spout, like one of those old school butter holders. For younger viewers - people born after 1998 - it's reminiscent of a tea pot or tea kettle.
IMO Kasha wouldn’t of gone home because Heidi voted based off track record all season whilst there and voted to save kasha and also the voting thing wouldn’t of happened because Kahannah is safe. I love Lala but I think Heidi would’ve had a ginger Minj moment and send one of her best friends home

I believe the circle on Kasha is the handle of the gravy boat. but also sour cream doesn't pour like gravy, sooo...
I agree with basically all of this, although I personally thought Jessica did better in ep. 7 but it’s a 1 point difference no one will die
The "circles" on Kasha's sour cream runway are the removable safety tab from the squeezable sour creams. You don't usually see these on the tubs. Look is still a boot..
I think for Kasha's Sour Cream look, the things on her shoulders are suppose to represent the ends of a gravy boat, the thing you use to serve like gravy. The circle is suppose to be the handle and the other end is the spout where the gravy, or in this case sour cream, comes out.
Thank you for this video. It felt like a very natural win for Jimbo rather than a heavily produced win for Jimbo. It also would have flowed a lot better and probably avoided making Alexis Michelle and Kandy Muse Villains and get so much hate from the fans. Spreading out the wins like you did throughout the season would have made this season on par to All stars 6. Which imo was the best all stars that felt like an actual competition.
The circles on Kasha's spur cream dress are to make it look like a little cream dish, like what would come in a tea set
1:39 side note, I love the jacket!! (and the concept in general)!! You look so fierce 🤍
but let's be honest, Heidi probably wouldn't have left if she won the ball. Cause despite the fight with kandy, she mostly just did not felt any recognition from the placements, which I agree with. They tried to produce storylines and redemption arcs too much while ignoring the reality. One of the worst as seasons imo
