Top 10 Memorable RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars 4 Moments
#10: Patty and Monét: Best Judy
“RuPaul's Best Judy's Race"
Top 10 Times Plankton Almost Got the Krabby Patty Formula
In an episode dedicated to Judy Garland, each queen got to turn one of their best friends into a drag sister. Monét X Change got to transform her best Judy, Patty and gave him the drag name Patty Cash. After early resistance on things like shaving eyebrows, Patty was a different person by the time she performed a musical tribute. Both queens shared a great family resemblance, from their makeup down to the signature X Change booty. Though Naomi Small's Cher and Bono reveal was great, Monét and Patty’s gold outfits were even more glamorous. With all the great faces and performances Patty delivered, her and Monét completely deserved their Top-two position.
#9: Snatch Game of Love
"Snatch Game of Love"
Drag Race Recap: Snatch Game of Love | MsMojo's Drag Race RuCap
While the 'Snatch Game' is usually a season highlight for comedy, 'Game Of Love' was a train wreck we couldn't stop watching. Valentina's Eartha Kitt was full of accurate and researched lines, but her references lacked a real sense of humor. Naomi Smalls's voice for Wendy Williams was comically over-the-top, and her faint as she left the show had Ru gasping for air. Gia Gunn's impersonation of Jenny Bui was so obnoxious that it caused Latrice Royale to break character. Though Manila had us cracking up, it was Trinity The Tuck's responses as Caitlyn Jenner that stole the show. With a more uneven 'Snatch Game' than previous seasons, Trinity's ability to improvise around everyone else's characters really stood out.
#8: Club 96
"Queens of Clubs"
Top 10 Differences Between Fate: The Winx Saga & Winx Club
For a make-your-own-club challenge, Valentina and Naomi Smalls created a bar for the fashion aware. Smalls and Valentina were surprisingly self-aware with Club 96, as they parodied club culture and drag stereotypes hilariously. Everything in 96 was extravagant, whether it's the shoes or the ridiculously tall drink glasses. It was all the 'Club 96' whispers from the queens and judges however that helped it catch on with fans, and become a meme online. Club Hive was certainly the bee's knees honey, but all the puns in the world couldn't beat the buzz around Club 96. By pulling ideas from high, low and center, Club 96 was a unique concept that fans wanted to continue beyond the show.
#7: Roasting Lady Bunny
"Roast in Peace"
To properly roast drag legend Lady Bunny, Monét X Change called out her age with Bunny's original drag name....Methuselah. Monique Heart's over-the-top preacher was silly and infectious, and even compared Bunny to the whale that eats Jonah in the bible. Manila got the crowd giggling by just flinching at Bunny, before roasting queens like Monique for owning lashes older than Bunny herself. Despite all the bombs in this set from other queens, the clever writing and characters has Bunny laughing as much as the crowd.
#6: Super Girl Groups, Henny
"Super Girl Groups, Henny"
Top 10 Best Super Powers in The Boys
Stacy Lane Matthews returned for a larger-than-life girl group performance, where Trinity The Tuck faced-off with Monique. Trinity's lines about universal love were inspiring, and her team's choreography was consistently tight. Valentina also redeemed her infamous lip sync failure with vocals in English and Spanish. Naomi started Team Monique off with leg-centric choreography and lyrics, though Farrah Moan's amateur 'white girl' moves were ironically entertaining too. Farrah's sex line operator voice also had her team laughing in rehearsals as much as they were gagging. Each group showed off strong lip syncing talent while celebrating the legend that Matthews and Henny have become.
#5: Super Queen Performance
"Super Queen Grand Finale"
Top 10 Craziest My Super Sweet 16 Parties
To crown a winner for All Stars four, each queen had to prepare lyrics and moves for RuPaul's 'Super Queen'. Monét X Change looked regal on her throne, and commanded attention while she danced. Though Monique Heart's moves were more focused on her flowing outfit, she also got the most interaction out of her backup dancers. Naomi Smalls brought out big attitude for this performance, and delivered sickeningly high leg lifts. After a lot of doubt in rehearsals, Trinity nailed every inch of her choreography and introduced capes on everyone mid-routine. While the support from previous hall-of-famers like Chad Michaels, Alaska and Trixie was cool, it was the ambitious scope of all these performances that really blew us away.
#4: Gia's Talent Show Performance
"All Star-Spangled Variety Show"
Top 10 Shocking Drag Race Talent Show Moments
Despite Gia Gunn's usual focus on looks and lip syncs on 'Drag Race', she honored her cultural roots for the 'All Stars' talent show. Gia performed a traditional Japanese dance in a kimono, while dripping petals from an umbrella. She spun her fans with amazing speed, and more petals flew around the stage. The routine was impressive enough for Jasmine Masters to call it magic, and Manila looked genuinely entranced. While Farrah Moan's fall surprised everyone, Gia's colorful talent was a more exciting twist. We were shocked when Gia didn’t win Top 2 for this challenge given that her performance showed us how talented and skilled she was in Kabuki, and ultimately left us wanting more.
#3: Lip Syncs of the Season: "Adrenaline" AND "Come Rain or Come Shine"
"LaLaPaRUza" & "RuPaul's Best Judy Race
Top 10 RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars 7 Moments
With four queens back in the race, episode six was full of nail-biting lip syncs to stay in the competition. Naomi and Gia delivered a lot of hair action during 'Adrenaline,' as well as equally fierce dance moves. With such close performances, it was truly Naomi's unbelievable back-bends that put her ahead. Valentina and Farrah Moan gave their all to 'Kitty Girl' in the same episode, while Monique and Latrice used so many power moves that Ru kept them both. Naomi got ecstatic for 'Come Rain or Come Shine' too, and offered dozens of exaggerated poses and faces. RuPaul was laughing endlessly, and we loved seeing Naomi slide across that floor. With so much explosive energy from everyone, it's a wonder only Latrice screamed out.
#2: Double Crowning
"Super Queen Grand Finale"
Top 10 RuPaul's Drag Race Lip Syncs That Deserved a Double Shantay
When it came down to the finale, Trinity The Tuck faced off against Monét X Change for the 'All Stars' crown. Their lip sync to Christina Aguilera's 'Fighter' had wig reveals, cartwheels and a bit of everything. Though it was messier than their usual performances, they were both passionate enough to divide the judges. In a shocking turn of events however, both Monét and Trinity won full cash prizes and a place in the Hall of Fame. While the lead-up and execution felt a little rushed, it was truly heartwarming to see two queens come out on top together.

#1: The Rob of the Century: Manila Luzon's Elimination
"RuPaul's Best Judy's Race"
Top 10 Manila Luzon Moments on RuPaul’s Drag Race
Manila Luzon won plenty of challenges across 'All Stars' four, and seemed like the front-runner for most of the season. After falling into the bottom-two once however, Manila was left to watch Naomi slay Monét in an epic lip sync. After everyone avoided eliminating strong competitors all season, Naomi flipped the script by eliminating her idol Manila. It was such an upset that queens looked shocked on-stage and backstage. Though Manila cried at the news, she still had the composure to joke with RuPaul as she left. Considering Manila's nearly perfect run however, this elimination rubbed fans the wrong way and then some.
