That "dinner with the Kusher's" line GAGGED the judges. They were literally speechless 😂😂

[luckyluck]

Tammie brown saying excuse your mouth will live rent free in my head forever
Get em girl

Honestly, I loved seeing Pearl clap back at Rupaul. It was pretty deserved

[KingOfGaymes]

To this day I hope Ian Benardo was an act because he was hilarious.

“Call National Geographic because the dodo bird is not extinct it’s in there and it’s name is Simon Cowell” is iconic

[julesBrockingthat]

“Excuse your mouth!” That was good!!🤣🤣

[MrCph]

The judges didn’t know it. But it was the producers who told Zoe Alexander to sing a pink song

[harleyblaze]

Apparently Ru wanted to tell Pearl to pack her shit and gtfo after that moment. Like woah..but good on her for standing up for herself! No other queens would DARE say anything but she deserves a clapback sometimes with how she treats her girls

[thormowantssome]

Tbh the Zoe Alexander situation makes me so uncomfortable, specially after seeing her videos exposing the show, which shows she was clearly set up

[dwtsglee]

Simone Biles "smiling doesn't win you gold medals"

[jmclayton]

Louise in America's Next Top Model (the UK vs USA season) was also pretty intense

[charlestoti]

Beginning the list with Courtney Yates😂

[RadMad]

I don't know if Stacy's iconic monologue is a clap back at Jeff, but it is amazing. Glad Courtney was on the list, cause she did need to shut Jeff down.

Sorry, but the whole scenario with Ian Benardo (as well as his many clapbacks) on American Idol has stayed rent free in my head for years after his audition. Honestly, he's mighty deserving of a freaking Oscar. But, honestly, don't get me started on his vile and equally shady rant on Nigel Lythgoe after his audition on season 2 of So You Think You Can Dance. Hilarious!!! 😂 It's worth multiple rewatches alone!

#4 is not clap back. It's more like confrontation since the guy can't answer Gordon Ramsay's question nicely.

[brentus]

The Zoe Alexander story is just awful. They did her DIRTY!

[Boomeraanggang]

Zoe Alexander was def set up. From production telling her to sing only pink or she’s not going on. To lowering the sound for the next song she sung so she couldn’t hear what she was singing to. Pretty sad to get a meltdown on tv you produced yourself just to get views. But hey, it’s all about the ratings

I DONT SEE YOU OUT THERE WALKING THE CHILDREN IN NATURE

[RyanS]

Tiffany "New York" Pollard was, and always will be, the epitome of reality tv gold.

[Stephanie-ledy]

Zoe actually was set up!! Check out her channel for her side of the story

[marvintnt]

Jeff job on Survivor is to stir up drama at Tribal Council. Too bad they can't vote him off I guess that's the reason why I stopped watching Survivor long time ago.
