Last week, Trinity the Tuck and Jaida Essence Hall were tied with three stars apiece, and Monét was forced to choose between the two for the coveted fourth spot. She chose Trinity and explained:
“I love Jaida. We have developed a sisterhood in this competition together, but I made Drag Race herstory with this queen, and we went through a lot together, so I’m going to choose Trinity.”
Additional round in RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 7 finale
After announcing the top four contestants post Shea and Monét’s lip sync battle to Kylie Minogue’s Supernova, Ru announced that the remaining queens - Jaida, Raja, The Vivienne, and Yvie Oddly – will face each other in a parallel Lip Sync Smackdown. The winner will receive the title, "She Done Already Done Had Herses," and a $50,000 cash prize.
However, The Vivienne “burst into tears” since she missed out on securing a spot in the final four despite her best efforts over the course of the competition. Speaking to EW, The Vivienne said:
“The floodgates opened. I just. It was gutting. It felt like a punch in the gut. You put everything you have into doing the best you can and you actually do really well in the season, and then there's a twist that can take someone from the bottom into the top four. It was hard. Good for them, but, as a queen stood there, it's hard to go through.”
The upcoming episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 7 will reveal the winner who will walk away with $200,000. The finale will become available to stream on Paramount+ on July 29.
