00:00♪ May the best woman win! ♪
00:06Welcome to Ms. Mojo,
00:07and today we're counting down our picks for the most memorable moments
00:11from the U.S. version of RuPaul's Drag Race
00:13when it became clear a queen was destined to win their season.
00:16Needless to say, there are plenty of spoilers ahead.
00:19They will vote to decide...
00:23who will be the top two all-stars of the season.
00:30Number 10.
00:30Malumbo No. 1 Lip Sync.
00:32Jinx Monsoon.
00:33Season 5.
00:39Even though she was a talented comedian, actress, and singer,
00:42Jinx Monsoon's victory was far from guaranteed.
00:45Her makeup skills and fashion sense lacked polish,
00:48and she faced stiff competition from Roxy, Alaska, and Detoxx.
00:52At the final hour, Jinx had her lowest moment in the competition,
00:56landing in the bottom two for her disastrous sugar ball designs.
00:59However, when she faced off against Detoxx in this lip sync,
01:03she made it exceedingly clear why the crown was meant for her.
01:10Jinx is kicking and dancing, and she's bumping her hips.
01:14I hate to say it, but Detoxx might be getting outdanced by Jinx.
01:18Pulling faces and employing every quirky move in her arsenal,
01:22Jinx gave the song the right dose of eccentricity it needed.
01:26Certainly, if she could survive this week,
01:28her underdog narrative would pay off in the finale.
01:30And it sure did.
01:32Number 9.
01:33The Lip Sync Stumble.
01:34Kylie Sonique Love.
01:36All Stars 6.
01:47The finalists of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 6 were an exceptionally well-matched
01:52group of queens.
01:53Raja O'Hara and Ginger Minj had won two challenges each,
01:56while Eureka and Kylie Sonique Love both had one win.
02:00The four faced off in a spliced-together lip sync to Lady Gaga's Stupid Love.
02:04Using split screens and parallel editing, it was hard to tell who was ahead.
02:08That is, until Kylie stumbled on her discarded dress and nearly fell on her face.
02:23But she immediately recovered by turning the fall into a beautifully executed somersault.
02:31RuPaul's cheers sealed the deal.
02:33Any queen who can turn a stumble into an even more fabulous serve is a real winner.
02:44Number 8.
02:45Being Nice to Adore Delano.
02:47Bianca Del Rio Season 6.
02:54Well, they're all helping me out by being horrible and making me look better.
02:57This hateful New York queen strutted into the
03:00workroom firing off poisonous barbs and one-liners, with little regard for being liked.
03:09Given her confidence and strong showing in every challenge,
03:12Bianca Del Rio was a strong contender for the crown.
03:15It would have been more surprising if she didn't win.
03:18However, for many viewers, her victory was telegraphed when the show's storyline began
03:22highlighting her kindness towards fellow contestant Adore Delano.
03:26A brief but meaningful moment where she offered
03:28to help Adore cinch her waist revealed a softer side to Bianca.
03:41This narrative of her being motherly and helpful to her competitors made
03:45many believe the show was rounding out her personality for an eventual win.
03:49They were not wrong.
03:50Number 7.
03:51The Bridal Runway.
03:53Tyra Sanchez Season 2.
03:55I feel great.
03:56My dress looks amazing.
03:59It's daddy's little girl.
04:01Although her win was controversial even then,
04:04Season 2 champion Tyra Sanchez consistently won RuPaul's heart every week.
04:08Episode 5 was a particularly significant moment in Tyra's journey to the crown.
04:12Not only did she have one of the biggest fights of the season with Tatiana,
04:16She also dazzled the judges with a stunning bridal runway.
04:30This wasn't RuPaul's Best Friends race, but it soon became clear that it was
04:33about to be Tyra Sanchez's drag race.
04:35Despite backstage drama spilling onto the main stage, Tyra was still given the win.
04:46If she was getting this much praise regardless of the personality clashes,
04:52then it was obvious she would make it all the way.
04:54Number 6.
04:55The Jury Vote.
04:56Trixie Mattel.
04:57All Stars 3.
05:06When All Stars 3 frontrunner Ben DeLaCreme shocked everyone by quitting
05:10two weeks before the finale, it changed everything.
05:17What?
05:21What did you just say?
05:22This was Shangela's third shot at drag race glory,
05:25and it looked like she would finally take the crown, with Trixie Mattel as a worthy runner-up.
05:30But then, the jury twist was introduced.
05:33Previously eliminated queens were invited to cast their votes for the most worthy finalists.
05:38Unfortunately, Shangela was shut out,
05:40and Kennedy Davenport advanced to the final two with Trixie instead.
05:44Kennedy Davenport.
05:55And Trixie Mattel.
05:56From then on, the writing was on the wall.
05:59Kennedy is a great queen, but her winning seemed unlikely.
06:02In the end, it was Trixie who emerged as the third All Stars champ.
06:07Number 5.
06:08Asia's Butterflies.
06:09Aquaria Season 10.
06:14Continuing the previous season's lip-sync smackdown for the crown,
06:23Season 10's top four had to battle it out on the finale stage.
06:27At the time, it was largely seen as a race between Asia O'Hara and Aquaria.
06:31Sadly, the two never got their face off.
06:34During her first lip-sync against Cameron Michaels, Asia had a few surprises up her sleeve.
06:39But her butterfly reveal did not go as planned.
06:44In fact, it became one of the biggest fails ever seen on the show.
06:56Her loss cemented Aquaria's win.
06:59Against the remaining two competitors, Aquaria seemed like the only viable winner,
07:03given her better track record and reputation with the fans.
07:14She was crowned later that night.
07:18Number 4.
07:19Ruko's Empire.
07:20Bob the Drag Queen.
07:22Season 8.
07:29In Season 8, Bob the Drag Queen was the definition of a steamroller.
07:33She walked into the workroom with big talk and a big personality to match.
07:37From the jump, she was the one to beat, and frankly, no one else compared.
07:42Don't get us wrong.
07:43There were other great queens on the season.
07:56But after hearing Rue cackle throughout Bob's entire performance in the Ruko's Empire Challenge,
08:00it was pretty safe to assume that the $100,000 check already had her name on it.
08:05The fact that her runway look was not spectacular and she still won?
08:09That was the final nail in all the other queens' coffins.
08:14Number 3.
08:15The Moment She Walked In.
08:16Sasha Colby.
08:17Season 15.
08:24Even her castmates couldn't believe she was there.
08:26Sasha Colby was already a legend long before she walked into the workroom.
08:30But from the moment she entered the competition,
08:32her fellow contestants couldn't stop falling in love with her.
08:36The moment she walked in, Sasha Colby was already a legend long before she walked into the workroom.
08:41Her fellow contestants couldn't stop fawning over her.
08:54You know you're the winner when they rename the whole season the Sasha Colby Meet and Greet.
08:59She was the moment, the legend, and the reason for the season.
09:11But what really sealed the deal was her immediate humility.
09:15Sasha didn't have to sell us on her talent or her greatness.
09:17We already knew.
09:19Although Anitra would have been a worthy alternate, it was always Sasha's game to lose.
09:24Number 2.
09:25The Snatch Game.
09:26Jinx Monsoon.
09:27All Stars 7.
09:35This season 5 winner's first snatch game performance was a masterclass in improvisation
09:40and impersonation.
09:50Her second outing, in the all-winner season no less,
09:53was arguably the best the show had ever seen.
09:56Jinx Monsoon chose the legendary Judy Garland as her character.
10:00Dirty jokes and delicious double entendres aside,
10:03Jinx embodied Garland so completely it was almost scary.
10:07She took full control of the challenge,
10:09setting the tone for the whole episode and the season.
10:12Her hilarious musical interludes could have come off as showboating,
10:16but they were so fun that it didn't matter.

10:44Number 1.
10:45The Rose Petals.
10:46Sasha Velour.
10:47Season 9.
10:57In any regular season finale,
10:59Shea Coulee's four challenge wins would have easily landed her the win.
11:03But this wasn't a regular season finale.
11:05Season 9 introduced the lip-sync smackdown,
11:08which saw the finalists fighting for the crown live on stage.
11:11Shea went up against Sasha Velour to Whitney Houston's So Emotional.
11:15Little did she know, Sasha had a few tricks up her sleeves and under her wig.
11:19At a climactic moment, carefully hidden rose petals showered down Sasha's body,
11:24sending the audience into a frenzy unlike anything ever seen before in a finale.
11:33The rest is herstory.
11:38Has any other moment so clearly decided the winner than this one?
11:42Absolutely not.
11:44And that's why it's our top pick.
