'RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars': Did Derrick deserve to be eliminated? Fans say Britney impression got tiring
Spoilers ahead
'RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars' has returned with Season 5 and it has been explosive from the get-go. From Ricky Martin being roped in as one of the judges to the regular queen-rivalry and a major shake-up in the elimination process, every upgrade seems to be working for the VH1 show. The maiden episode saw Alexis Mateo (Season 3, 'All-Stars' Season 1), Blair St Clair (Season 10), Derrick Barry (Season 8), India Ferrah (Season 3), Jujubee (Season 2, 'All-Stars' Season 1), Mariah Paris Balenciaga (Season 3), Mayhem Miller (Season 10), Miz Cracker (Season 10), Ongina (Season 1) and Shea Couleé (Season 9) compete in their very first leg.
While India charmed everyone with her performance, Derrick fell short. Derrick was moved to tears when she lost yet another opportunity to show the world that she is more than just a Britney Spears decoy and is brimming with talent. Unfortunately, her journey was cut short because — and maybe the cast-members are to be blamed — they voted her to be in the bottom two.
As RuPaul Andre Charles announced Derrick's exit, she said that it was hard to watch her go because everyone who knows Derrick is aware that she has a lot to offer to the world of drag and beyond. Meanwhile, viewers think Derrick deserved to be eliminated because they are tired of seeing her do Britney's impression over and over again. She does a good one, but maybe it was time for her to think of something new, that would go on to become her legacy, in every sense of the word.
"That lipstick should have said Britney because I don't even know who Derrick Barry is... #AllStars5 #RuPaulsDragRaceAllStars," a viewer commented while another shared: "Derrick you was not winning f**king allstars doing f**king britney b***h #RuPaulsDragRaceallstars." A user posted, "Derrick is aging out of Britney. Bye wig. Go take am acting class," while another shared, "I honestly do not know why Derrick Barry is back on #AllStars5. Except to get sent home... Exact same critiques as last time... #RuPaulsDragRaceAllStars."
"Ha!!! Bye Britney B***h #RuPaulsDragRaceAllStars You need a new platform girl! The Britney game is tired honey," a fan pointed out while another trolled Derrick: "I just don’t do Britney, I do other 'amazing things' @DerrickBarry Bah-lease you walked in as Britney #RuPaulsDragRace #RuPaulsDragRaceAllStars."
