She didn't come to play, she came to SLAY.
This might be slightly controversial because I know that she got some criticism after the reunion episode for being "bitter." She was just SUCH A COMPETITIVE FORCE throughout the season and it was amazing to watch! I mean, FOUR WINS? That's hard to accomplish, unless you end up with the crown, and she didn't get it in the end.
Now, I'm not one of those bitter, rabid Shea fans that say "SHEA WAS ROBBED!!!!" because she wasn't. The way the finale was set up, Sasha won fair and square! Her lip syncs were KILLER!
BUT.... and it's a big butt, if the finale was set up like the rest of the seasons, Shea would have won. Point blank, the end, and there is no counter argument to that statement.
I just can't wait for All-Stars 4 because Shea will SNATCH that trophy the moment it's announced.
Will we ever figure out who was after Peppermint?

HALLELOO!
Talk about a hard working queen. She is the literal textbook definition of "growth arc" when you look at her time on the show. Coming in dead last in season 2, spending a year working her ass off to grow, re-auditioning for season 3, getting on, making it almost to the end, spending YEARS working and growing, and coming back for All-Stars 3. There's only one thing that can happen now, she has to WIN. She's not necessarily my favorite queen in the All-Stars 3 cast, but she is definitely my winner's pick. If she's not the winner, it will be a tragedy.
And she has NEVER had a sugar daddy!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAHAAAHAAAHAAA!!!
How can you have a Top 20 list without this legend on it? I said the same thing with BeBe and Kennedy and I'll say it again, Latrice is a super fucking professional queen. Classy, graceful, but honey, she can take you to CHURCH when she needs to! Her lip syncs against Kenya and Dida were fantastic and she just had me captivated the whole time. I really wish All-Stars 1 didn't exist, or I wish it had the same format as All-Stars 2. The way it was set up really watered down each queens' talents, and Latrice was a victim of it. Still, she's one of my all-time favorites and her exit in Season 4 always makes me tear up no matter how many times i see it.
SHE IS LARGE, IN CHARGE.
CHUNKY, YET FUNKY.
THE BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL, SHE IS LATRICE ROYALE.

Miss Creme if you're nasty.
I fell in love with this queen right off the bat. Similar to Season 7, before I watched Season 6, I went and watched the Snatch Game first and DeLa's Maggie Smith had me DYYYIIIINNNGG. Her "feud" with Darienne was kind of dumb in my opinion, and it seemed really one-sided coming from Darienne's end. DeLa just doesn't seem like the person who cares about drama or being in the center of it, which is a quality I love about her.
It SHOCKED me when she was announced for All-Stars 3 due to the fact that she was so vocal about not wanting to be in All-Stars 2. But I'm super excited to see her compete again! She was already fantastic before, I can only imagine what a few years has done to her.
She's just terminally delightful!!

CAMEROOOON!!
The only season one queen gracing my top 20, and it's rightfully the winner of the season. There's just something about her that I love. She's so graceful and professional. When she's lip syncing, she doesn't need to dance around the stage doing cartwheels, splits, death drops, and flips. She serves it all in her FACE and STILL captivates the audience. It takes real talent to do that, I guess that's what Ru saw in her and why he crowned her the very first winner. Her drag style is also very eye catching to me, I would describe it as an old-school drag mixed with African culture. She never lets you forget where she's from, and I LOVE that.
She's serving FACE, honey.

GOOD OLE' GING MINJ!
Similarly to Kennedy, I don't understand the hate this girl received on her season. Before watching season 7, I watched its snatch game on youtube and I thought Ginger's Adele was HILARIOUS. And then when watching the season, she was a fierce competitor who had her eyes on the crown but also wasn't afraid to be funny and witty along the way.
One of my favorite moments was actually in All-Stars 2 in the first episode, Michelle says to Ginger "I couldn't take my eyes off of your vagina" because she had a cameltoe and Ginger just responds "Thank yew!! :)" #SNATCHED
I just hate that they did her dirty in All Stars 2. She got a completely invisible edit and her snatch game performance looked like it could have been super funny if they had shown more of it. If she had just waited for All-Stars 3, I think she would have been dealt a much better hand.
Oh well, at least she has her bff Katya!
