In Season 9 of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, there is no elimination through the iconic “sashay away”phrase, leaving viewers unsure of how to react.
It is a well-known fact among fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race that the competition follows a specific pattern: gifted drag performers from various locations gather to partake in tasks and runway presentations, with one contestant being eliminated each round (and occasionally, there may be a double elimination).
For All-Stars, the layout remains the same, with the only difference being the return of beloved queens that fans are already familiar with. This season, Season 9, features a talented group of former contestants with no rule changes to be seen.
Despite the queens still vying for the crown, there will be no eliminations, allowing all eight contestants to advance to the finale. This has caused quite an uproar, as one might expect.
On May 19, fans of RPDR expressed their opinions about the lack of eliminations this season on Reddit, and it seems that there is a divide in overall views.
Although some people welcome the chance to watch their favorite queens perform without the pressure of elimination, others argue that it contradicts the purpose of a competition show.
A fan expressed, “The change in rules certainly adds a refreshing twist and I believe it is suitable and worth watching to see queens who have established their careers after their initial season showcase their talents.”
In response, another fan expressed their dissatisfaction, stating, “I am truly not enjoying it. It feels meaningless. There is no sense of urgency or motivation for anyone to strive for success. It lacks any genuine competition.”
The rule was previously used in Season 7 of All-Stars, where Jinkx Monsoon emerged as the victorious winner.
One should always anticipate the unexpected when it comes to anything within the RuPaul’s Drag Race franchise. It is possible that a queen or two may choose to eliminate themselves during the season. Only time will reveal what will happen.
