What makes RuPaul’s Drag Race so iconic? One could argue it’s the incredible performances, the breathtaking outfits, or the never-ending charm of the queens. But few moments of the show stay ingrained in fans’ minds quite as much as unfair or shocking eliminations do.

Whether it is the aftermath of a lipsynch for their lives, the choice of the top queen on All Stars or even disqualification, the gasps of surprise are always the same. So let’s take a look at the eliminations that everyone is still talking about to this day, both on RuPaul’s Drag Race and RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars. Hold on to your wigs!

10 Rock M. Sakura (Season 12)

Season 12 isn’t even halfway through airing and there’s already room for controversy. Rock M. Sakura was an early fan-favorite, with a style reminiscent of previous competitor Kim Chi, and a personality impossible to hate.

But when the Ball challenge came along, Sakura failed to impress the judges with her three outfits and ended up going home after losing to Brita. Fans were disappointed with the decision, and many still believe that Aiden should’ve been in the bottom 2 and sent home packing instead.

9 Honey Mahogany And Vivienne Pinay (Season 5)

RuPaul’s Drag Race is infamous for throwing curveballs at both the queens and the audience. And if there’s one thing no one saw coming, it was the double elimination that took place when Honey and Vivienne were pitted against each other.

Granted, the performances were both low-energy and pretty lackluster, but RuPaul always saved one girl. Well, this time around, Ru wasn’t having it, and the first double elimination in the history of the show took place.

8 Valentina (Season 9)

Valentina had a spectacular track record on her season of the show. Her looks were gag-worthy, and every time she stepped on the runway, the judges were ready to give her a standing ovation.

But then came the first time Valentina landed on the bottom, and to everyone’s surprise, she didn’t know the words. Even though this moment produced the iconic line “I’d like to keep it on, please”, audiences were shocked and sad to see such a promising queen sashaying away.

7 Tatianna (All Stars 2)

RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars flips the rules of the game and gives the best performing queen of the week the power to eliminate one of the bottom queens. And while the competitors tended to be congenial, many unfair eliminations came out of this.

One of them was none other than Tati’s elimination in All Stars 2 who, after being eliminated once, came back strong and was still eliminated by Alaska because her two BFFs, Roxxxy and Detox, were in the bottom as well.

6 Alyssa Edwards (All Stars 2)

And speaking of All Stars 2, if there was an elimination even more unfair than that of Tatianna’s, it was definitely Alyssa Edwards, everyone’s favorite hilarious dancing-queen.

When Alyssa landed in the bottom with Roxxxy Andrews, the clique Rolaskatox struck yet again. Detox saved Roxxxy instead of Alyssa, who had been an extremely solid competitor up until that point. The shade was just too much.

5 Shuga Cain (Season 11)

If you listen closely, you can sill hear fans demanding justice for Shuga Cain. Shuga was one of the sweetest queens to ever compete on the show, and after being placed in the bottom two, fans were not happy.

Mostly due to the fact that Shuga was on the winning team, and performed a whole lot better than Yvie Oddly or Silky Nutmeg Ganache. No one’s over it, and no one will ever be over it.

4 Manila Luzon (All Stars 4)

All Stars 4 is far from being considered a good season, but that doesn’t mean it lacks the shock factor. Manila Luzon is a seasoned queen, a well-rounded performer, and an overall incredible competitor who was on a winning streak.

Everyone thought she would eventually walk away with the crown, but when she landed in the bottom for the first time, Naomi Smalls eliminated her because she perceived her as her strongest competition. Tough luck!

3 Willam (Season 4)

When Willam entered the werkroom for the first time, everyone could tell she was fierce competition. A seasoned actor and stunning performer, Willam had what it took to win the competition.

However, in a twist that shocked the world, she ended up being disqualified from the show for breaking the rules. This meant none of the queens who lipsynched were eliminated, and that Willam received legend status.

2 Shangela (All Stars 3)

The first half of All Stars 3 was promising. Many fan-favorites came back, including Ben De La Creme, Thorgy Thor, Aja, and even the winner of season 1, Bebe Zahara Benet.

But when the end was approaching and RuPaul announced that the eliminated queens would be choosing the top two, everyone knew it was bad news. Shangela ended up being eliminated and robbed of a title that most still believe she was worthy of. Good luck finding any fan of the show who still isn’t salty about this!

1 Ben De La Creme (All Stars 3)

And what was the most shocking elimination of all time in the real of RuPaul’s Drag Race? Curiously enough, it also took place during All Stars 3. And this was one that even sent RuPaul flying.

After being the clear front runner of the season, beloved queen Ben De La Creme eliminated herself. She let everyone know that her work there was done, and she had accomplished everything she wanted, sashaying away as the icon and legend she is.
