Drag Race All Stars 9: Alliances Threaten to Derail the Game in Episode 4 Sneak Peek (Exclusive)

If you didn’t think RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 9 was going to have any drama, you’re more wrong than Nina West was for that bringing that awful Tom of Finland look to the runway in Episode 2.

TVLine has an exclusive sneak peek of Friday’s fourth installment, during which accusations of cliques and alliances begin to threaten the safe, friendly environment that All Stars 9 has cultivated thus far.

With a beautiful Benefactress Badge to bestow upon another queen, Gottmik asks Shannel if she and Angeria Paris VanMicheals are in a secret alliance. “I have a badge to give,” she says, “and I wanted to give it to someone without a badge, but…” 

Both Shannel and Angeria vehemently deny Gottmik’s accusations, which include them allegedly cheering for Nina over Gottmik during their “Banana” lip sync. (Side note: We assumed the hooting and hollering for Nina during that lip sync was done ironically, since each of her Ru-veals were so hideous. Is that not what was happening there?)

“Everyone is saying that there’s no alliances, but little birdies around here are telling me that certain people are in alliances,” Gottmik says in a confessional. “And the more I hear, the more I’m noticing.”
