Rolaskatox in All Stars 2 was a curse 😅 still shocked that Roxxxy made to the finale

[briansherrod]

Shangelas and Manilas felt like a slap to the face.

[chaichanatongjan]

Manila Luzon’s elimination broke my heart in so many levels.

[brandonsal]

There is something that will always hurt about Manila's elimination.

[Kat-nhun]

Nina west should NOT have been sent over Silky during that lip sync. Periodt

[Medatreeme]

The fact that Trinity K Bonet’s elimination is not on here is criminal.

[RonHeartsMe]

I would’ve placed Katya higher but other than that I agree with these! Especially Manila and Shangela.

[stingyisking]

manila's elimination really mad me mad watching it. it makes me even more mad watching it back, but katya's had me up all night after watching

[Zantetsukens]

I don't believe in "conspiracies" over a show, but Shuga Cain's elimination got me crazy. She wasn't a weak performer in that episode, her team won and she somehow got ELIMINATED?

[cdva]

Manila and Pangina were a total shock for me. I lost my breath when I watched the corresponding episodes.

[cherrylattimore]

to be manilla'd has now become a verb in the fandom so i'm pretty sure that puts her number one placement here as deserving. Manilla's been mine queen since Heather days on season 3.

[KJEstefan]

I'm not shocked that trixie was eliminated during her season . I'm more shocked that she won in all stars.

[Leedleleedleleeeeeeeeeeeeee]

Roxxxy was straight up carried to the finals by her besties, when everyone knew good and damn well she did not deserve to be in the finals. Alyssa did

[hugomoreno]

Denali vs Olivia should not have happened if they were judged as individuals.

[sinnaro]

Before watching, I'm expecting Manilla from AS3, Denali from 13, Jan from 12, DeLa from her 2nd lipsync in 6, Katya in 7, Alyssa and Tati in AS2.

[CartoonDragRace]

Manila Luzon AS4 gagged us all a bit for sure

[crispychichen]

I'm sorry but Rolaskatox gotta stop on some ways, they gotta make a Season dedicated to all the Rolaskatox victims 😭😭

[cupcakke]

Manila elimination still hurt to this day

[magicraccoons]

What's funny is all these eliminations got these queens more popularity than had they won, especially Manilla and Shangela. They were gag-worthy moments for sure but notice how we keep talking about them and how much adoration they got from the fans. So in a weird twist of fate, it really helped them in the long run.

[danielely]

For me, Manila's and Jimbo's eliminations still make my blood boil
