00:00I scribbled out a different one, and I wrote this one in whiteout, and let me tell you why.
00:04Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most shocking eliminations
00:09from the various editions of RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars that had fans up in arms.
00:14Let's just have fun tonight, and when it comes down to voting, vote Heidi.
00:20Number 10, Alexis Mateo and Yara Sofia.
00:23You did engage the audience really well. Your lip syncs were on point.
00:27The choreography, I felt like you were having so much fun with the audience, it got a little clumsy.
00:33This show might not be RuPaul's Best Friend Race, but on All-Stars 1, it certainly seemed like it,
00:38as the queens were forced to compete in pairs. Team Yara-Lexis held their own pretty well
00:43throughout, even snagging a win in the Gaffin Variety Show Challenge.
00:49Ew, what's that smell?
00:51In my coochie-coochie!
00:53However, after failing to impress the judges in the girl group's episode,
00:57they landed in the bottom for the first time alongside Team Rujubee.
01:01Given that this was Raven and Jujubee's second consecutive time in the bottom two,
01:05with no maxi-challenge wins, many fans assumed Team Yara-Lexis would live to sashay another day.
01:11Spoiler alert, they did not.
01:13Carry on, my twisted sisters.
01:15Now, sashay away.
01:19Bye!
01:19Their elimination was especially baffling,
01:22considering they received stronger critiques,
01:24and even got to show off both queens in the lip sync.
01:27Number 9, Tatiana.
01:29After initially getting eliminated on the Snatch Game episode,
01:32Tatiana clawed her way back into the competition
01:34with one of the fiercest lip syncs in the show's herstory.
01:51However, just one episode later,
01:53the R'Alaska Talks curse struck.
01:56Tatiana found herself in the bottom two alongside Roxy Andrews,
01:59with the power of elimination falling into Alaska's hands.
02:02Alaska, with great power comes great responsibility.
02:07Which queen have you chosen to get the chop?
02:11Despite the fact that Tatiana's commercial was far from the worst,
02:15and Roxy had already seen the bottom more times than there are exes in her name,
02:19Alaska made the controversial decision to send Tatiana packing.
02:22Why?
02:23Because Roxy reportedly gave her the rhinestone tank top she wore on the runway.
02:28Tatiana, I think you're stunning.
02:29Thanks.
02:30As it is written, so it shall be done.
02:34Tatiana, you are an all-star.
02:37In the words of Tatiana herself,
02:39we all make choices, but that definitely was a choice.
02:43By all standards, Marina Summers was the undeniable lip sync assassin of UK vs. The World Season 2.
02:52She dominated every battle with ease,
02:54until the one that mattered the most.
02:56In their second matchup of the season,
03:07Marina faced off against Hanaconda in the lip sync SmackDown for The Crown,
03:11and she was surprisingly slain.
03:13While Hanaconda delivered a solid performance,
03:16many fans felt the edit heavily favored her,
03:18as if to justify the controversial outcome.
03:20Thank you for an amazing season.
03:24You are and will always be a global phenomenon.
03:29Now, sashay away.
03:32Mamoru said not to blame it on the edit,
03:34but this one was too glaring for fans to overlook.
03:36The moment only fueled the ongoing criticism
03:39that on the UK vs. The World seasons,
03:41The World rarely gets a fair shot at The Crown.
03:44And thank you for giving me this opportunity.
03:46I'll always and forever be your Filipino winner.
03:53Number 7.
03:54Trinity K. Bonet.
03:55Last week I was a finalist,
03:57and this week it's a possibility I'm going home.
04:04It was always Trinity K. Bonet's dream to reach the Drag Race finale.
04:10She missed the mark on her original season,
04:12but All-Stars seemed like her shot at redemption.
04:14However, just when Trinity thought she had made it back into the top four,
04:17RuPaul revealed that one queen would be coming back.
04:20Before there's a fifth b**** coming in here,
04:23we're going to celebrate to top four because this is the top four.
04:28That queen turned out to be Eureka,
04:30who ended up winning the penultimate challenge,
04:32placing everyone else in the bottom.
04:34At that point,
04:35Trinity began to sense the writing on the wall.
04:37Despite having two challenge wins,
04:39it seemed like she had already thrown in the towel.
04:41I feel like today you've been kind of defeated for no reason.
04:44Like, I'm just like,
04:45this b**** has slayed the competition,
04:47and yeah, you've been in the bottom of several times,
04:49but everyone here has at this point.
04:52So when her elimination was announced,
04:54it didn't just sting.
04:55It felt like an abrupt cut
04:57into what could have been a powerful redemption arc.
04:59I'm super proud of myself.
05:02I won challenges in this competition.
05:04I was on the top in this competition.
05:07I love you so much.
05:08Love you too.
05:09Team TKB rocked the shahouse.
05:14You might as well call All-Star 6
05:16the systematic breakdown of Jan,
05:18because in many ways,
05:19that's exactly what it was.
05:21The same critique she got in her original season
05:23spilled into this one,
05:24with the judges once again labeling her a try-hard.
05:27You hit every mark,
05:29and you're a professional and all of that,
05:31but the performance lacked soul.
05:36Even in their plot to send her home,
05:37producers could have easily taken a straightforward route.
05:40But no,
05:41they made Alexis Mateo first announce Pandora Box's name,
05:44giving Jan a false sense of safety.
05:47And the queen chosen to get the chop is...
05:53Pandora Box.
05:57Then, that rug was suddenly yanked out from under her,
06:01as it was revealed that the group vote ended in a tie,
06:04which shifted the power of elimination back to Trinity K. Bonet.
06:07My sister and my fave...
06:12Jan.
06:15It was the face crack of the century,
06:17and irrefutable evidence that Jan deserves reparations from the show's producers.
06:21Number 5.
06:23Heidi in Closet
06:24Heidi in Closet had already been feeling overlooked throughout the season,
06:27which left her questioning whether to continue in the competition.
06:30Y'all are in for a gag tonight, honey.
06:33I'm sorry.
06:33I'm...
06:33What?
06:35I'm leaving.
06:36That feeling only intensified after she felt unfairly targeted in the Snatch Game episode.
06:42First, Kahana Montrese accused her of sabotage,
06:44misinterpreting her attempt to volley jokes during the challenge as malicious.
06:48Girl, I wasn't even hitting the joke that Rue was giving me.
06:51So, why are you digging the hole even deeper for me?
06:54It really, really hurt.
06:56I'm not even gonna sit here in front with you.
06:58I was really devastated last night.
07:00Then, Candy Muse doused fuel on the fire
07:02by claiming that Heidi had lied about her plotting to oust Jimbo.
07:05When Alexis Michelle conveniently developed memory loss,
07:09Heidi decided it was time to worry about Heidi,
07:11and she eliminated herself.
07:13Honestly, no.
07:13We don't have to vote tonight.
07:15I love y'all.
07:15No!
07:16No, Heidi.
07:17No, Heidi.
07:17I can't.
07:18No.
07:18I can't do this.
07:20I can't.
07:20I love y'all.
07:21No.
07:21I love you all summer.
07:22This moment enraged fans,
07:24not only because Heidi seemed to be telling the truth,
07:27but because she was a fierce contender
07:28who could have easily made it to the finale.
07:31Number 4.
07:32Alyssa Edwards
07:33Remember what we said about the Relaska Talks curse?
07:36Well, Tatiana wasn't its only casualty.
07:38But this time around, it was even more egregious.
07:41I think Roxy is feeling nervous she's been saved the last 30 times consecutively.
07:46But I think Roxy has the upper hand on me because she is her good Judy.
07:51Following the makeover challenge,
07:53Alyssa Edwards landed in the bottom alongside Alaska and Roxy Andrews,
07:56with the power of elimination falling to Detox,
07:59one-third of the infamous Relaska Talks trio.
08:01By this point, Roxy had been in the bottom five times and was long overdue to sashay away.
08:07However, Detox just couldn't bring herself to send home her best friend,
08:10so she eliminated Alyssa instead.
08:13Unfortunately, I do have to make a decision.
08:19It shows Alyssa, I'm sorry, I can't sit down.
08:23I'm so sorry.
08:24What made this decision particularly heartbreaking
08:26was the fact that Alyssa was booted on the one episode
08:29where she competed alongside her sister
08:31on the anniversary of their mother's passing, no less.
08:34Why are you upset?
08:36Because you're always a winner to me.
08:39That's all that matters.
08:40And they did what anybody else would have done.
08:42They eliminated their biggest competition.
08:44Number 3.
08:45Ben de la Creme.
08:46There's been four other times that I've been standing up here
08:49in this position deciding somebody's fate
08:52and it is always a really difficult decision.
08:57Usually, when a queen wins the most maxi-challenges on a season,
09:01fans expect her to snatch the crown.
09:02But All-Stars 3 threw a wrench in that script
09:05when Ben de la Creme, the clear frontrunner,
09:08decided to bow out.
09:09The ever-gracious Miss Congeniality seemed overwhelmed
09:12by the emotional toll of eliminating other queens every week
09:15and was tired of being muddled up in the season's drama.
09:18This is the easiest choice that I have had to make
09:22this entire season.
09:27I'm going home.
09:28Her self-elimination frustrated viewers,
09:31but as the choice came from de la herself
09:33and not from RuPaul, the producers,
09:35or any of the other queens,
09:37fans weren't quite sure where to direct their anger.
09:39In the end, no one got hurt.
09:41De la got her piece.
09:42The other queens got a shot at the crown.
09:44And the fans?
09:45Well, at least they got good TV.
09:47It's like I proved everything I have to prove.
09:50After five out of six wins,
09:53what more can I want?
09:55This in gold?
09:56I have spray paint at home.
09:58Number two, Jimbo.
09:59The alleged plot to eliminate Jimbo on All-Stars 8
10:03may have failed,
10:04but the strategy played out flawlessly
10:05on the first season of UK vs. The World.
10:08I want to be here so badly.
10:11I know.
10:12And I will do whatever you want me to do.
10:15Yeah.
10:15I will do anything.
10:16You can have my lunch,
10:17you can have the rest of my drink,
10:18you can have my small umbrella.
10:20Jimbo emerged as an early frontrunner on the season,
10:23having secured back-to-back wins on the first two episodes.
10:26However,
10:27when she stumbled in the Rusical
10:28and landed in the bottom for the first time,
10:30Pangina Heels saw an opportunity
10:32to eliminate her biggest competition and took it.
10:35I choose...
10:38Jimbo to go home.
10:41Pangina's decision sparked an outcry in the Drag Race fandom,
10:44with many calling for the format of queens
10:46eliminating each other to be scrapped.
10:48But the drag gods have a wicked sense of humor,
10:51as Pangina herself fell into the bottom two
10:53the following week
10:54and was swiftly sent home by Blue Hydrangea.
10:57I want to say sorry to all the tired people
10:59that I did not go all the way.
11:05Thank you, everyone.

11:21Number 1.
11:23Manila Luzon
11:24Heading into the makeover challenge on All Stars 4,
11:27Manila Luzon had dominated the competition,
11:29winning half of the prior episodes
11:31without ever landing in the bottom.
11:33Clearly, she was the one to beat.
11:34Naomi and Monet have a choice right now.
11:37They can get rid of their biggest competition,
11:40or they can keep me in the game
11:43and fight with the biggest, the baddest, and the best.
11:46But despite serving sickening looks on the runway all season,
11:49Manila dropped the ball in the makeover,
11:52placing her in the bottom with Latrice Royale.
11:54Faced with the choice to either eliminate her biggest threat
11:57or the universally beloved Latrice Royale,
11:59Naomi Smalls seemed to have made up her mind rather easily.
12:02I'm so sorry that I have to send home Manila.
12:11However, this was a hard pill to swallow for the fandom,
12:14as many felt Manila had been robbed of a near certain win.
12:18But considering Monet exchange also planned to eliminate her,
12:21it ultimately made little difference.
12:23It's tax season, show the receipt.
12:25I chose Manila's ass, too.
12:27Because she, Manila, Manila shaded me.
12:33Which of these eliminations do you feel was most deserving?
12:36Let us know in the comments below.
12:38Oh, was I the biggest one?
12:39Yes, yes.
12:41That's my sister out there.
