We've made it to the end and it's Jimbo Vs Kandy! The Clown Vs The Producer! Who will win?! Well, it's kind of obvious considering the favoritism, but still, it's the season finale of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 8 and we need to see our finalists lip-synch, dance, and bare their souls for their last chance to enter the Drag Race Hall of Fame! Or something like that. The Bois meanwhile have to sit there and wonder where exactly it went wrong - 'Cept for David, who for sure had the best time this week. It's a doozy of an episode so give it a download today!

The bois find themselves in quite a pickle with low morale, nonsensible acting plots, throwbacks to 2013, and a low-effort runway. Oh, and the episode was bad too! Join us as we talk about one of the worst episodes of Drag Race in a dang minute, and talk about how production probably screwed up the closest we'll get to Early Outs ever! Will someone pull a Heidi and just leave? Will there be a Scooby Doo reference? And will Steven ever win a game of Jeop-Ru-dy?! Find out in this week's This Toxic Fandom as they talk about RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 8, Episode Seven!

This episode contains spoilers for episode six of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 8, JOAN: The Unauthorized Ruscial.
 
Gays into musical theatre?! Groundbreaking. In this energetic episode, the bois dive into choir performances of years gone by, the fact that Steven doesn't know musicals all that much, and that Joe is maybe a tenor. Maybe? Who knows! But we know this was the best episode of the season, and there is a lot to say about it, including us gushing about Grace Jones! Join us (or maybe Joan us) in this extra-large episode of This Toxic Fandom because it may not be perfect, but it's perfect for you!

The boiz hit up their local grocery store looking for something good to eat but end up with a frozen dinner and a very confused reference to literature, Switzerland, and Nice White Ladies.
