The Top Three of 'All Stars 8' Was Decided This Week After the Roast of Carson Kressley

Last week, Lala Ri's greatest nemesis, a design challenge, TKO'd her, and after an impressive run, she was sent home by Alexis Michelle as a lovely fourth alternate. That left only four queens competing in this weeks challenge, a roast of Drag Race judge, style superstar, and equalsitron? equipinine? espadrille? Carson Kressley. With such a small field, there was no room to hide, and Alexis, Jimbo, Kandy Muse, and Jessica Wild were feeling the pressure. The finale is nigh, the $200,000s was in within reach, and a spot in the final three was up for grabs.

Who was eliminated in RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 8, Episode 9?

Alexis Michelle

Exit stage left (pursued by a bear if we know Alexis). After nine incredible episodes of sobbing, inappropriate questions, and gorgeous gorgeous gowns, it was finally curtains for the Broadway queen of Season 9. We (like Edwin Drood) could read the writing on the wall for Alexis the moment RuPaul announced that the challenge of the week would be the Roast of Carson Kressley. Alexis was famously swept away (wait for it) "for good" (keep waiting) on her original season for bombing the Michelle Visage Roast in Elphaba cosplay (there it is). You didn't need a consultation with the Weird Sisters to know Alexis would need a (Matilda-esque) miracle to survive the night.

With an hour to kill and only four queens left in the Werk Room, we got plenty of filler this episode including segments where Michelle and Alec Mapa critiqued the queen's jokes, Katya appeared out of nowhere (ala the witch from Into the Woods) to interrogate the queens regarding the "beast with two backs," and the top four discussed Equus-trian (these puns are getting worse, I'm sorry).

At the actual roast (everybody laugh), it was Jimbo's Joan Rivers impersonation that seized the day earning her a fourth win this season (Oy, gevalt!). She was living it up on top while the remaining three queens were left in the (Nick) bottom. While Jimbo's lip syncs so far have been bad (Cinderella), she decided to whip out her bologna ghoul character for the battle against lip sync assassin Silky Nutmeg Ganache. Jimbo finally bop, bop, bop, bopped to the top, and secured the power to say "no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no way" to one of the bottom three. In the end Jimbo opted to rain on Alexis' parade, and muttering "hasa diga eebowai" under her breath, the Broadway queen sashayed down the runway one laaaaaast time, before exiting like Jessica Chastain onto 45th Street.

L'Chiam Miss Alexis Michelle! You always made my sh***y life better.

Who was the lip sync assassin on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 8, Episode 9?

For Episode 9 Ru brought back perhaps the most notorious lip sync assassin of the series, Silky Nutmeg Ganache. While Silky received a "meh" from Ru when she lip synced against Nina West on Season 11, she delivered the most impressive run of lip syncs in the show's herstory during her comeback in All Stars 6. Unfortunately for Silky, Jimbo opted to finally give the judges COMEDY during a lip sync, and there has been no beating comedic Jimbo all season long.
