Jimbo and Kandy Muse earned their way into the top two of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 8 two weeks ago, but instead of a crowning last week, we saw the return of nine eliminated queens. This season's twist, the Fame Games, is giving one previously eliminated queen the chance to win $60,000 through a fan vote. (Heidi N. Closet quit and isn't competing.)
Last week, those nine queens competed in the Fame Games Variety Extravaganza with Lala Ri and Jaymes Mansfield winning vote multipliers ahead of the fan voting period. This week, however, the pressure was back on for our final two as a winner would crowned.

Jimbo
In the least surprising win in All Stars herstory, Canadian clown Jimbo became the first international queen to snatch the crown in a U.S. season. Jimbo's experience on two international seasons made her the queen to beat from Day 1. She made quick work of her rivals this season, earning three maxi challenge wins. Going into the finale, she'd won four of 10 challenges and seemed a shoo in for the crown. After Jimbo delivered two solid lip syncs this week and a few more iconic full-chested looks, Ru gave in to the inevitable and welcomed her to the Drag Race Hall of Fame.

Even Kandy knew that this wasn't her season to win. In Episode 10, when she had the opportunity to send home Jimbo rather than Jessica Wild, she sealed her fate as the runner-up. Kandy outperformed most of the other queens this season, but with only two maxi challenge wins and a generally shakier track record, she was destined for a repeat second place finish. She should have chopped Jimbo when she had the chance, but alas, the Muse is back as a bridesmaid rather than a bride.

Lala Ri
With the 3x vote multiplier that she earned last week, it seemed nearly impossible for anyone to overtake Lala Ri in the fan vote, especially since she might have won the Queen of the Fame Games title through just the regular vote. Lala has been very popular through both of her two seasons, and lasting until the final five in All Stars 8, she was able to earn a lot of good will with the fans. Congrats on that $60,000 Lala.
