After hearing the news, all Ru could say was, “Actually, I don’t know how to take this.” And neither did the other competitors. From RuPaul, to the other judges, to the queens - absolutely nobody saw this twist coming. When she revealed her decision, the entire room was bathed in shock. She explained herself further in a tweet following the episode, it read: “If you don’t like the rules, make your own. Even with her stellar performances this season, she felt she didn't have anything left to prove to anyone. She also revealed that she thinks the crown simply held more meaning to the other queens. Her unease about sending other queens home wasn’t the only reason she decided to leave the show, though. In fact, when given the opportunity to give another chance to Morgan McMichaels, she took it.

Since the beginning, DeLa has said that she was uncomfortable sending other queens home. Seeing DeLa pull her lipstick out to reveal she had written her own name, in white-out, was one of the most shocking moments of Drag Race history.

As someone who has followed the show all season long, it was a bit hard to swallow. Her actions from Episode 6 are just the most recent example of why she won, without ever taking the crown.īut, why did she do it? There were so many clues that suggested she could easily win this season. Despite the fact that she is no longer in the competition, it is clear that BenDeLaCreme is the real winner of Drag Race. Even though she won the lip-sync battle, she opted to send herself home instead of one of the bottom three. In what may be the biggest twist in the series’ history, it wasn’t BeBe, Shangela, or Trixie going home, but instead, BenDeLaCreme eliminated herself from RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 3.

Fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race went to bed shook on Thursday night. Before spilling the tea, there are massive RuPaul All Stars spoilers below.
