WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THIS WEEK’S EPISODE OF DRAG RACE ALL STARS 5.
Kennedy Davenport has spilt the T on her All Stars 5 lip sync against Miz Cracker.
The legendary queen, who first competed on the show’s seventh season and placed runner-up on All Stars 3, made a gag-worthy comeback to the franchise as the final lip sync assassin on All Stars 5.
Although Kennedy has proved her status as the Dancing Diva of Texas in spades, her performance lacked the flips, kicks, splits and other sickening tricks fans have become accustomed to because of the song choice: Reba McEntire’s Fancy.
Shortly after the episode aired, Kennedy praised the Drag Race producers on Twitter for “making me look good honey,” but admitted that the lip sync was a “rough spot” as she paid tribute to her RuPaul parody verse in season seven.
Fans also had a lot to say about the song choice on social media, with one asking: “Why do they keep disrespecting Kennedy Davenport with these songs?” The star seemed to agree with the comments as she replied “lol” to several fans.
Last year in an interview with NewNowNext, Kennedy admitted that her least favourite song to lip sync to was – surprise surprise – Fancy by Reba McEntire: “It’s too many words to learn. Too many!” We shoulda known.
Thank you @RuPaulsDragRace for making me look good honey. Wheew "that was a rough spot" lololol

On the penultimate episode of All Stars 5, the top four queens – Blair St. Clair, Jujubee, Miz Cracker and Shea Couleé – performed a stand-up comedy routine with the help of Ross Matthews and Jane Krakowski.
After Cracker won the Reba lip sync – and earned her third win of the season – she chose to send home her season 10 sister, Blair.
Next week, the top three will write, record and perform a new verse for RuPaul’s new single, Clap Back, and one queen will join Chad Michaels, Alaska, Trixie Mattel, Monét X Change and Trinity the Tuck in the Drag Race Hall of Fame.
The seven eliminated queens will also ruturn to spill the T on the dramatic events of the season, including Ongina and Mayhem’s self-eliminations and the feud between Alexis Mateo and India Ferrah.
All seven episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 5 are now available to stream in the UK on Netflix.
