Roxxxy Andrews has spilt all the tea on the dramatic fifth episode of Drag Race All Stars 9.
Spoilers ahead
For this week’s maxi-challenge, the queens were tasked with “dragging up real estate commercials” for gag-worthy properties in Frosty Bits (Alaska), Gator Glades (Florida), Tumbleweed (Texas), and Salem (Massachusetts).
As expected, each of the all star teams delivered heaps of comedy and creativity throughout their commercials, which were also a hit with the judges.
However, the moment that left the biggest impact on fans occurred in the show’s last five minutes.
After being named All Star of the Week and winning a lip-sync against fellow challenge champion Plastique Tiara, Roxxxy was asked to cut one of her fellow queens from receiving a Beautiful Benefactress Badge.
“Last week, I was like, ‘Ok, Angeria [Paris VanMichaels] cut me. So, the first chance I get gonna cut her. Easy breezy, eye for an eye.’ Now that’s done and I don’t know who I’m gonna snip,” she said in a confessional.
Visibly distraught, the Florida-based talent announced to Ru that she wouldn’t be looking at any of her fellow queens, resulting in her dramatically turning around.
After scooting across the runway, Roxxxy landed on a very unhappy Angeria, which gagged her All Stars 9 sisters and the judges panel.
But when she turned around and realized that the Atlanta-based queen was in front of her, she stepped away and exclaimed she didn’t know who to pick.
“Whatever I do, somebody is gonna be mad,” Roxxxy exclaimed, resulting in Mama Ru replying, “Well, probably not as mad as Angeria.”
After a suspenseful few seconds, Roxxxy decided to pick Gottmik, sighting badges as her reason.
The decision proved very difficult for the Drag Race season five star, who dramatically burst into tears after announcing her decision.
Shortly after the episode aired, fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their reactions to the drama-filled episode.
One fan wrote: “Roxxxy accidentally cutting Angeria AGAIN and then having a breakdown about it, this is TV gold I fear.”
A second fan tweeted: “THIS is the highlight of the season for me so far like— Roxxxy Andrews is so dramatic & I’m actually LIVING for it.”
Some fans also speculated that Roxxxy was fully aware she landed on Angeria, with a handful saying they weren’s convinced her surprised expression.
“Let’s talk about it.. cuz not only did she try to cover her face like it would help… but then Mik, Angie, Nina Even guided you 2 Nina… Yet still ended up behind @Angeriavm. Oh Roxxy ur playing the GAME GAME! We see u tho!” another viewer wrote.
In response to the discourse, Roxxxy took to her X profile on 8 June to break her silence on the episode and what truly went down behind the scenes.
“It would have been much EASIER for me to land at Mik and “blamed the scissors” if I could “see and hear everyone?” Let me run around and make myself look stupid,” she wrote.
