it's me beezle bus and welcome back to hot or snot cause I've got a major cold that has kept
me down and out for like five days now and you know what I've had it officially and in spite of
my summertime sickness we're here anyways so get excited because we've got a lot to cover today
including the latest statements from Heidi N closet concerning the recent dramas she was
involved in both with Kahanna Montrese and the he said she said Kandy Alexis and Jimbo situation all
sourced of course from you guessed it Roscoe's viewing parties because if you're not watching
Roscoe's you're only getting half the story so we'll break down what she said and then jump
into today's review of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 8 episode 8 where our queens were
asked to create outfits inspired by prior winners of RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars minus Chad and
Alaska and finally we'll end with the discussion of Alexis Michelle's very own Sophie's Choice
that she had to make and agonized over endlessly at the end of this episode so let's get started
first up Heidi N Closet so la st week I did a video explaining the Heidi and Kahanna Montrese
drama and Fallout situation that was happening online over the past couple of weeks and I've
linked that in the description in case you missed it but long story short the girls
were fighting and things got a little ugly but it seems these two were able to come to
an understanding offline and have for the most part made up she has apologized to me and I also
apologized to Kahanna because I know I personally could have handled the situation way better
than how I did online and I had to apologize for her because that was just it was a very
ugly situation and these two are even back to being friends online seeing exchanging some
comments about what they would have done for this episode's Challenge on Twitter
and concerning the Heidi Kandy Jimbo Alexis thing where remember Heidi called out Kandy for telling
her Heidi that she would send Jimbo home should she find Jimbo in the bottom two and herself in
the top which Kandy flat out denied saying and Alexis denied hearing after saying she did hear
it Heidi lets us know during the Roscoe's viewing party this was a sentiment Kandy expressed to her
twice Kandy said it twice the one instance that I brought up in the work room was with Alexis in
the tent when she said it now there was another time she also said it so we were in the car we're
waiting to go in on set and then one of The Producers come out and talks to us Jimbo said
something really stupid and um made them laugh and then they walked away and then we were allowed to
get out the car Jimbo got out first because she was the closest to it and then Kandy turn is like
you see the producers love her if she ever lands in the bottom we need to send her home some of
the girls who were on the cast knows for a fact that is exactly what she said because they have
told me however they have said please do not name them because they want to stay out of the
drama and after Heidi clarifies everything that happened she elaborates on the understanding that
she's been able to come to with Kandy Muse about which she says this but me and Kandy have worked
through it and everything and there was one day where the whole thing came up and [ __ ] we barked
at each other we did and in the very next little morning we still had a little more barking to do
and then about six hours later we were back to cutting up and Kiki in because we've Let It Go
and obviously we will never know who was in what tent or what bus hearing what was or was not said
can concerning this situation but I'm happy these two have uh seemingly come to an understanding
now let's get into the LGBT of this episode because girl it was wild let's start with
Kandaliza Muse who has first hit the runway tonight and Kandy's box was for Monet exchange
who I think has a really interesting sense of style that is distinct in that Monet will
take kind of everyday items like let's say buffalo plaid or puffer jacket and
then elevates them to these really high fashion draggy campy places but it's for the look Kandy
makes tonight she chooses to create a very simple LED and for what it is I think she
looks pretty on the runway that said I think the final product is just missing a little
bit of The Whimsy that Monet exchange look might have and of course is missing some of
the obvious technical sewing finesse in the details of like it's a little too short and
maybe the slit on her leg isn't high enough and the Slit on her chest isn't low enough I
will also say though I was a little confused at her choosing to add extra padding to her
backside but none to her front to balance out the proportions I really give homage to the
curves and swerves that Monet's figure truly is so relatively speaking this look is a soft rot
and you want the real tea? Girls Just Want to Have Fun which can be hard to do when

and next up who's hungry it's Jimbo and she is given the Trixie Mattel box from LA Reid
and we saw a lot of tension in drama created by Jimbo for Jimbo for the camera of round if the
outfit she was making was or was not going to be ready and she ended up turning it all out and the
runway looks completely finished and if there was something missing I had no idea her entire body
faced keaney included is covered in the floral pattern and then she's got this pink vinyl cape
dress thing that's lined with that beautiful floral pattern and then she's integrated the
pearl necklace that she was given as details for the eye and mouth sockets on the face Caney and
traditionally I would say this is not necessarily a face Kandy because a face Caney would imply that
there would be holes so really this is more in the masked territory which I'm not mad about but
I think did ask the question is something like this okay for drag race and who cares right as
long as we're having fun and we're always having fun with Jimbo and that's why I think this look
was so successful this look is super freaky and hot and next up Lola re who assigns herself the
Shady Kool lady box and in the work room we see her working through these materials and we later
find out she created three different dresses by the end of it all and ended up in this orange
one and this look is kind of like Kandy's dress tonight not bad and I think she should be proud
of what she did considering she does not have that sewing background but when you start to
look at all the details you do see okay there are some pretty big efficiencies here from the
way that that asymmetrical sleeve is fitting the collar that Michelle points out is kind
of stuffing her neck area up and even the length of the one sleeve she has being too short so all
things consider this look as a rot but I will say I love the way she painted her face and I
think she looks particularly beautiful but the wig so Alexis actually we learned let her this
wig and I'm wondering if Alexis didn't put that on Lola's head in this way as a little bit of
sabotage girl the inner Saboteur was Alexis's wig the whole time speaking of the devil that's not
how the praise goes speak of the devil it's Alexis Michelle and in the challenge she is
giving Trinity the text box and the way she did her hair and painted her face and with that huge
smile I thought that was Trinity for a second the illusion she created the Gown I mean this is a
really really beautiful look and actually Alexis was the first queen tonight to walk on the runway
that actually made me think of the winner they were assigned this is very clearly in the beauty
pageant beaded over-the-top extravagant type of style that Trinity lives in I'm like sure if this
were Trinity she probably would have had like 10 different cutouts in this dress to show off all
the different parts of her body but I like that Alexis was able to still evoke Trinity and also
make it more in her personal style and honestly this may be the best Alexis has ever looked on the
runway she looks absolutely incredible and this look is we're concerning your Sophie's Choice
will Circle back on that after Jessica Wilde and she was given the box of Kylie's Sonique love and
it definitely seemedly Desco was feeling a bit of pressure this episode considering she did win the
prior design Challenge and the ball earlier this season but girl what does pressure make
wow in Kylie's box we've got lots of crazy patterns this green snake material that Chanel
is lusting over in the worker they're just scenes of creating is very pretty and I think very in the
vein of Jessica Wilde I don't necessarily think this is a silhouette or type of dress Kylie would
wear on the runway but I liked that Jessica made it work for her it also kind of made me
think of Carrie Bradshaw a little bit like this is absolutely something she would go twirl around the
city in but like with a chunky belt and my only real critiques on this look are very small details
one of them being the thing Ross pointed out I thought there being some awkwardness in the cut
of the top part of her dress and maybe something about the length being slightly off like I either
want this to be a little longer or considering it's supposed to be inspired by Kylie probably a
little shorter anyway I think she did a great job and this look is absolutely he has any placements
in the bottom too we got Kandy Muse and malari which I don't really think anybody could argue
with in another Direction it was like the other three queens did really good and these two queens
did okay like again I don't think their looks were bad and in a bigger design challenge with
more queens or something these I think would have been very safe looks and the win this week goes to
Alexis Michelle which I think could be argued my top two queens this week who I think did amazingly
in very different Realms were Jimbo and Alexis like on one hand we had Jimbo create this insanely
unique and interesting piece of art that I would argue is absolutely Hall of Fame worthy which was
part of the brief but aside from the pink Fabric and floral patterns I wouldn't say this really
evokes anything about Trixie Mattel and on the other hand we've got Alexis who 100 percent met
that part of the brief that I think asked them to create a look inspired by the queen in their
box while also playing into her personal style and looking damn good in what she made and so
considering the challenge yes I do agree with the Alexis Michelle win but my hottest hot is gonna
go to Trixie Mattel my hottest hot is gonna go to Jimbo because I like the look overall better but I
also asked my patrons to vote on their hottest hot this week and they did give it to Alexis Michelle
but the Realty is if Jimbo had one this week how would she have lip synced she couldn't have and
actually Jimbo did address this on Twitter because I think fans were asking her this and she said to
those wondering how I would have done my makeup and time to lip sync if I won it only takes a
second to put on lip gloss I stay that [ __ ] but instead of that we get Alexis Michelle lip syncing
against Nicki doll to the Nancy Sinatra boots song and so I did react to this as well as the other
best parts of this episode on my patreon that's my members only website where my Patron family gets
exclusive member benefits like early access to my YouTube videos and access to exclusive videos
like this episode's reaction and you can become a member of my patreon and watch that video right
now by clicking the link in the description of this video see you there but this lip sync was
a little tough to watch and not because these Queens are bad lip singers or anything like
that but mostly because the song choice I think is difficult to do at all much less on a TV stage
like drag race it's just so empty and while I will agree it was a weird choice I will say Alexis was
undoubtedly the winner of this lip sync I think she filled the downtime and slowness of the song
with a lot more comedy and impromptu dancing and that bit at the end when she told her boots that
she was ready to walk did make me laugh a little bit Nicki though did respond to critics who were
not happy about this lip sync online and she wrote I thought I wouldn't answer to the jokes online
because I'm Legit so above this but I do find truly hilarious to read comments about people that
don't even step foot on stages or even do drag to judge two books and successful Queens perform
on TV For Your Entertainment on a sh song choice that we had no control over next time instead of
trying to shine online with your stupid rhetoric put some Cha-Cha heels and go perform for everyone
to judge cowards Nancy Sinatra I love you but in my headphones very Cameron Michaels of her
love that so Alexis wins this lip sync and the gag of the Season pulls out Lala ree's lipstick
and I'll say this gagged me but also didn't gag me like I fully expected her to do this for some
reason but it felt so wrong to watch her do it and trust and believe she agonized over this
decision like this was so hard I think to watch as a viewer of this show for several different
reasons a at the end of last week's episode we see Alexis thank Lala and acknowledge how difficult it
must have been for Lala to save Alexis instead of her good Judy Kahanna and she says this is
something she will never forget B in this episode we actually hear a conversation between Lala and
Alexis about what happened last week and Alexis seems to reaffirm that if she found herself in a
similar position to Lala as she was in last week she would indeed save la la ri and you know you
scratched my back I'll scratch your situation see we've had this near Narrative of Alexis having
this huge crush on lava and Affinity towards her both as a friend and maybe even romantic there's
been basically zero friendship development between her and Kandy at least on camera and like as I
mentioned earlier she literally let Lala borrow a wig on the runway this week and if all this wasn't
enough to make us feel like we were watching Alexis literally stab her in the back on stage
in front of a camera we also have d a new piece of information that we learn in untucked apparently
Alexis had like slipped a secret letter to Kandy where she asked for an alliance which Kandy never
responded to according to Kandy she had forgotten about the note whatever but like Alexis has every
single reason laid out in front of her of why she should save Valarie which is not even considering
bellalabri and Kandy Muse have the exact same track record and for all of those reasons it
just felt so wrong to watch her pull Lala Ri lipstick out of her dress whatever it's reality
TV it's reality TV right let's not get to invest than this but it was weird and I didn't like
watching it that said we don't have to like her decision and we don't have to respect her decision
but please let's not send hate to anyone involving any of this because again it is just reality TV
apparently though Alexis actually regrets her decision to send Lala home she tweeted this
out after the episode aired it was an impossible Choice a lose-lose situation two incredible Queens
who I admire love and respect I made a choice after sleeping on it I wished I could have done
differently I'm sorry for disappointing you people make mistakes I own this one no edit just me she
then tagged all our resang nothing can dim your shine and roast chicken dinners on me for life
and Kandy Muse responded to all of this and wrote damn [ __ ] my drag twitch Alexis replied you know
I love you and that's why I decided to save you just suck your way and Kandy finally wrote LMAO
it's cool and then all of this gets even more interesting considering what Alexis wrote to a
fan on Instagram which was then shared on Reddit this person wrote girl I don't know anymore I
love you so much but sending LaLa Home was the wrong choice even strategy rise Rue literally
loves Kandy and she will always favor her to which Alexis responded I didn't want to piss
Roo off and in all of this happening online there was another interesting piece of information that
she let slip or intentionally said to get some heat off of her back I'm not sure but
this is what it was a user wrote please stop explaining yourself to people who don't care
what you say and will find things to nitpick regardless yeah it's a bad move but it's still
a competition hopefully this format will be done away after this season to which Alexis Michelle
replied it will what is she talking about did she hear just tell us that the entire format
of All-Stars is going to be changing next season in like broken NDA situation or I guess she just
hoping and manifesting I don't know but I would love to hear all of y'all's thoughts on the many
situations that we have discussed today unless they want to give an extra special thanks to
