Major spoilers ahead. From Jimbo’s instantly iconic (and chaotic) Snatch Game performance to that shock exit, this week’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 8 left fans “gooped and gagged to the gods”.
For their fifth challenge, the eight remaining queens played the Snatch Game of Love, with their celebrity impressions as follows: Heidi N Closet as Blackbeard, Jessica Wild as Iris Chacón, Kahanna Montrese as her mother Coco, Jaymes Mansfield as Jennifer Coolidge, Alexis Michelle as Bea Arthur, Kandy Muse as Renee Graziano, LaLa Ri as Sukihana and Jimbo as Shirley Temple.
Jimbo, who memorably won the first-ever Snatch Game on Canada’s Drag Race, was a force to be reckoned with as a result of her batshit, tap-dancing performance, which had Ru (and Kandy) in hysterics, while Alexis and Jaymes’s impersonations were also lauded.
Prior to the runway, Kahanna confronted Heidi for “antagonising” her during the challenge, “saying that I was struggling and throwing the jokes back at me”.
