Why Jinkx Monsoon Was The Rightful Winner Of RPDR All Stars Season 7
RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 7 recently ended with Jinkx Monsoon being crowned «The Queen of All Queens,» and while Jinkx was up against some seriously stiff competition, her second RuPaul's Drag Race win was more than justified. Jinkx joined fellow previous winners Raja, Yvie Oddly, Jada Essence Hall, Trinity the Tuck, Monét X Change, Shea Couleé, and RPDR UK's The Vivienne to battle it out for the $200,000 grand prize. The season premiered in May, and RPDR All Stars 7 was a hit with fans from the start, mostly due to its new and exciting format.

By the end of the competition, the four queens with the most stars faced off in a lip-sync battle to determine the winner.

This might hinder their chances to join the top four. In the end, Jinkx from RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars made it to the top four alongside Trinity, Monét, and Shea. The remaining queens separately battled it out to determine the «Queen of She Done Already Done Had Herses.»
