Watch RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 8: preview

Mama Ru’s heard the rumours of Drag Race fatigue and responded with a major plot twist for Season 8 of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. As usual, the overall winner will earn themselves $200,000 and a spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame, however, one eliminated contestant will pocket $50,000 by being voted Queen of the Fame Games by viewers.

Will it give the format a glow-up or prove more ill-conceived than Lala Ri’s bag ball look? Any excuse to bring that up again.

The lip-syncing diva is one of the standout names from the AS8 cast, which also invites Alexis Michelle, Darienne Lake, Heidi N Closet, Jaymes Mansfield, Jessica Wild, Jimbo, Kahanna Montrese, Kandy Muse, Monica Beverly Hillz, Kasha Davis, and Naysha Lopez back into the werk room.

While Alexis Michelle and Kahanna Montrese have both undergone jaw-dropping transformations, Kandy Muse’s facial expressions are every bit as OTT as you’ll remember them to be.

Ably assisting Ru, Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, Ross Mathews and Ts Madison will be alongside a revolving cast of celebs, including Zooey Deschanel, Maude Apatow and JoJo Siwa. Make sure you know how to tune in and watch RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 8 online from anywhere.
