RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 7 came to an epic end on Friday. Eight queens entered the competition but only one emerged as the winner, and that was none other than Jinkx Monsoon. Fans who rooted for the star were thrilled when Mama Ru announced that Jinkx was the winner.
After various challenges and tough competition put up by her co-contestants, Jinkx bagged the crown, making her the title winner this season. The four queens who made it to the grand finale were Jinkx, Monet X Change, Shea Coulee, and Trinity the Tuck. They battled it out not only for the title but also for a huge cash prize of $200,000.
Mama Ru herself determined the fate of the contestants after the Lip Sync LaLaPaRUza Smackdown. It all boiled down to Jinkx and Monet. The two contestants had to lip-sync their lives to Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj's Swish Swish. Both contestants gave it their best during their lip sync performance.
Ultimately, only one could emerge as the winner. Before announcing the winner, Mama Ru said,
"Jinkx, Monét, whatever happens next, you are and will always be legendary legends"
The RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars star went on to reveal that based on their lip sync and their over-all performance throughout Season 7, the winner was none other than Jinkx Monsoon. She was crowned Queen of all Queens.

Jinkx won an overall of five challenges in RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 7
RuPaul's Drag Race came with a twist this season. The series brought in eight queens who had already won the title over the previous seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race. That was not all, Season 7 also never had any eliminations. Instead, every week two contestants were awarded the title, Legendary Legend Star. They also stood a chance to block a queen next week from winning the title.
Taking into account the entire season, Jinkx won five challenges. But she won the Legendary Legend Star title only four times because she was blocked for one week. With these wins already bagged, it was no surprise for the viewers that Jinkx was also crowned the winner.
