![]() You can squeeze a lot of drama out of girls having to vote against their friends, but I don’t think you can get that many different types of drama. The girls voting one another out is a great catalyst for drama, but it’s also a great way to get the same plot points over and over, season after season. None of the episodes have been truly terrible, but since the premiere, which I truly thought was great, nothing has really punched through. ![]() I don’t think this season has ever reached those pits, but it has a similar “going through the motions” sense. ![]() If there’s any season All Stars 8 feels similar to, it’s All Stars 5, one of the franchise’s most languid, uninteresting outings. It was also the story of All Stars 3 (culminating in Dela’s quit), All Stars 4 (Naomi eliminating Manila), and All Stars 5 (Mayhem and Mariah self-eliminating, India attempting to play mind games). But the thing is it’s been the story of most of the All-Stars seasons since All Stars 2, when Adore quit, Alaska threw a temper tantrum, and Detox sent home Alyssa over Roxxxy. Kasha showed weakness on that front and was promptly sent home, while Darienne, who’d been doing worse, got to stay. If we’re looking at it thematically, the season has largely been about what the girls will or won’t do to win: What does this mean to them, and how far are they willing to go? Heidi’s quit was one answer to that query, while the question of Kandy’s willingness to send Jimbo home is another. There’s a roteness to RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars 8.
