![]() For those who think she wasn’t at her usual performance level this season, I would point you toward her “Legends” and “Titanic” verses, her surprisingly naturalistic performance in “Santa’s School for Girls,” her stunning runways, her “Old McDonald” and “Supernova” lip syncs, and her pro-level talent show performance. But I am thrilled for her that she made the final four, and had some truly terrific moments along the way. It’s honestly kind of a bummer that after All Stars 5, a season largely about Shea coming to terms with the trauma of losing to Sasha Velour and her rose petals in Season 9, Shea is back to her first-season placement. She, more than most, has been a face of the VH1/Paramount era, and for that, I’m glad she was a part of this.Īll the sturm und drang about Shea making the finale with just two challenge wins turned out to be over nothing, as she simply lost in the first round of the Lip Sync for the Crown tournament to Jinkx Monsoon. If this is to be her final season, I thought it showed off what has made Trinity one of the biggest characters of modern Drag Race. But I do appreciate that in a season with little competitive fire, Trinity really brought an edge and a desire to strategize. A couple of her wins were dubious (the roast victory perhaps the most so of all of All Stars 7), and her making the finale left a bitter taste in my mouth in a penultimate episode full of off-putting twists. Overall, I don’t think it’ll come as a surprise to anyone who’s been reading these that Trinity was not my favourite part of this season. The fact that the edit of the “So What” lip sync had to be practically masticated to fit this result was unsatisfying, too. She’ll always be one of the All Stars 4 victors, but a “tiebreaker” of sorts like this was seemingly inevitable. Not that I think Trinity would’ve fared any better in the lower bracket, but it really is rough to consider that her role in this episode was to lose the twinner lip sync. No one could call her simply the queen who won on Zoom anymore she’s the queen of our hearts. I’d rather remember Jaida for all her jaw-dropping fashions this season, including both of her design challenge wins, and the ways in which she was able to demonstrate the quirky, creative side of her personality this season. In general, it just feels like what was a remarkable run for Jaida petered out at the end, between her underwhelming roast performance, being cut by Monét X Change at the last second, and now this. She was also just plain better on “Let’s Hear It for the Boy” against Raja. RuPaul introduced her as a “strong woman who knows how to get things done” and as “a champion for LGBT rights” for three decades.I’m admittedly surprised that Jaida didn’t even advance out of her first match in the She Done Already Done Had Herses bracket, considering what a consistent lip syncer she’s been throughout her Drag Race career. Pelosi received a round of applause when she walked into the workroom. “Had a fabulous time on set with the Queens!
