This Week's 'RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars' Power Rankings

The sixth episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 8 aired this Friday, and we're down another queen. With the Rusical in the rear view and half the queens eliminated, we're really narrowing in on the end game.

This week we said goodbye to Jaymes Mansfield, who was sent home by Kandy Muse rather shockingly imho. While Jaymes had never won a challenge and had been in the bottom once before, Kahanna Montrese would have been sent home unanimously last week if not for Heidi N Closet's quit. However, it was the campy Barbie that was given the chop, bringing us to the season's halfway point.

Which brings us to the question: who will win Season 8 of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars?

To that end, I've put together a ranking of the six remaining queens competing on this season, ordered from least likely to most likely to be inducted into the Drag Race Hall of Fame. It's a power ranking if you will, and while there are supposed spoilers on dark corners of the internet, I haven't read any of them. This ranking is also based on how likely the queen is to WIN the competition, not just go far.

Here's my ranking from last week after Episode 5 aired if you'd like to read.

Feel free to swing back to Parade from week to week because I will be updating as the season progresses.

Who will win RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 8? Episodes 6 Power Rankings:

6. Kahanna Montrese

Last week's placement: Seventh
Track Record: Winner, Bottom, Safe, Safe, Bottom, Bottom

I was gagged that Kahanna Montrese didn't get sent home this week. Episode 6 opened with a unanimous vote to send her home last week, which didn't transpire only because Heidi N. Closet quit. While Kahanna does have one win under her belt, she's been in the bottom three times, and has struggled with every comedy challenge they've had. Kandy is no dummy though. By eliminating Jaymes, she sends home someone who could feasibly beat her in next week's improv/acting challenge. Kahanna doesn't seem like much of a threat to anyone at this point.

5. Alexis Michelle

Last week's placement: Third
Track Record: Top, Safe, Safe, Bottom, Top, Safe

I was HIGH on Alexis Michelle coming off her Bea Arthur impersonation in last week's Snatch Game and headed into the Rusical. And this week she slayed her fast-talking track recording, dosey-doed her way through an uber-technical Rusical performance, and delivered yet another gorgeous runway (although it was perhaps problematic? It was giving Asian appropriation undertones, but I'm unclear). All that and she was somehow passed over yet again by the judges. I've said before that the judging this season is a bit wonky, but it just seems like RuPaul and co. have had plenty of opportunities to reward Alexis and keep refusing to do so. Alexis is handling it like a trooper, but I fear we might have another Jan situation on our hands. Ru does not love a Broadway girlie.

4. Lala Ri

Last week's placement: Fifth
Track Record: Top, Safe, Top, Safe, Safe, Top

Lala Ri's smackdown number this week was incredible. There's no denying she deserved a spot in the top, and I was not tracking with the judges' "your runway was too simple" critique. (Let the record show Kandy wore YET ANOTHER complicated corset.) Alexis, Lala and Jessica Wild are all neck-and-neck for me at this point, and which of the trio make it to the finale will be up to whose strengths the challenges play to. Lala still doesn't have a win though, so I think next week is do or die for her as it is for Alexis. Whoever ends up in the bottom with Kahanna is gonna need to start packing methinks.

3. Jessica Wild

Last week's placement: Fourth
Track Record: Safe, Safe, Win, Top, Bottom, Top

Jessica Wild is almost the antithesis of Alexis this season. While she did end up in the bottom last week (when Ru knew full and well she wasn't sending anyone home), she's been highlighted by the judges anytime she's sniffing anywhere near the top. Her axe number this week was perfectly fine, but fairly unremarkable. While a return trip to the bottom could get her chopped on a "track record" vote, it seems like the judges want her in the finale.

2. Kandy Muse

Last week's placement: Second
Track Record: Safe, Safe, Top, Top, Safe, Win

FINALLY Kandy Muse wins a challenge! And this week's win was unimpeachable. Her dancing with the wire hanger while lip-syncing to her own runs was mesmerizing and I WILL be adding her song to my Spotify playlist. From the beginning of the season, it has felt like Ru had penciled Kandy in for the finals and was waiting desperately for the Bronx queen to give her even the slightest reason to lock in the choice. The Rusical has done just that. Welcome to the finale, Kandy!

1. Jimbo

Last week's placement: First
Track Record: Safe, Win, Top, Win, Win, Safe

Safe this week for Jimbo was a win. She's won three challenges already this season. She didn't need to win another. She just had to make sure that there were two queens worse than her so she couldn't be clipped by the week's winner. Having survived a challenge that is outside her wheelhouse, Jimbo should be smooth sailing towards the finale. It's possible now that the other queens will never get the opportunity to lip stick her out.
