While it can often feel like RuPaul’s Drag Race never truly ends, thanks to the increasing number of spin-offs being released each year, All Stars 8 is finally drawing to a close.
On Friday, July 21, the world will know which of the season’s top two queens — season 13 runner-up Kandy Muse or Canada’s Drag Race star Jimbo — will take home the crown and the $200,000 cash prize. We don’t know exactly how that decision will be made (this season has prided itself on its series of strange twists), or which of the eliminated queens will win the much-discussed fan vote of the Fame Games, but what we do know is that the queens will be capping off one of the most wild seasons of the franchise.
Along with all the backstage bickering, self-eliminations and a dramatic intervention staged by RuPaul herself mid-season, one of the main things that made All Stars 8 great was, of course, the lip syncs. Returning to the excellent “lip sync assassin” format of previous All Stars season, the top queen of each week got the opportunity to face off against a legendary Drag Race alum, proving why they should win a $10,000 tip for their artistry.
But, as any Drag Race viewer worth their salt knows, not all lip syncs are created equal. Amidst a season of stars, which queens managed to shine the brightest with their exemplary lip sync skills? Below, Billboard takes a look at all 11 lip syncs from RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 8 and ranks them from worst to best.
