The finish line for RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars the fifth season is fast approaching. There are now only three queens left by the end of this week, following Blair St. Clair’s departure last week. In a new interview, the popular queen gave her opinion on whether she saw her departure coming or not.
Blair St. Clair was the last queen to leave before the end of ‘All Stars 5’
St. Clair made waves when it was the first in season 10 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. She stood out early, ranking in the first three episodes. In the sixth episode of the season, she was placed in the background for the first time and ended up going home after missing a lip sync with The Vixen.
She has been a favorite to return RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, making your arrival highly anticipated in All stars 5. This season, she placed high on two challenges and was at the bottom three times. Last week, it was removed in the seventh episode.

Many thought St. Clair would be the next to leave because he has so far had no competition wins, despite being eligible for elimination in recent weeks. In comparison, prior to last week, Jujubee had one win, Shea Couleé had two wins, and Miz Cracker also had two. After the lip sync between Miz Cracker and the lip sync killer of the week, Kennedy Davenport, St. Clair was officially sent home.
She recently spoke about her time on ‘All Stars 5’ and her departure.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, St. Clair says that while he was confident in the penultimate episode, he thought it would be the next target. She thought that the other girls would be looking at her since she was the only one of them who had not yet won a challenge.
“We all had talent in different ways, and we all deserved to win All the starsBut there was a lot of pressure on me because how else could we vote for each other to leave, besides looking at our achievements in the competition? she said. “I had not won a main challenge. I felt a lot of pressure, especially for being a comedy challenge, because I’m not known for being a super fun and campy queen. I’m funny in my own right. I’m dumb, dumb and funny without trying to make it funny, but I knew that a comedy challenge would be difficult because it’s pre-written material that you have to deliver to an audience instead of just being funny. “

He also spoke in the interview about how leaving the show this time had a different impact than when he left the first time, despite the fact that he had been through all of this before.
“The first time it felt like my time to go,” he explained. “There was a lot of emotion involved, there were some cries, it was a very heavy moment in my life. The second time…. I almost felt that it was my first season to compete because I did it as my 100% authentic and safe self. [Being eliminated now] It hurts more, because it seemed like I was the real me on the line.
The end of the fifth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars airs this Friday on VH1.
