I thought Trinity would win it, but I'm happy they both won.

All I can say after this finale is, I hope they take a few years off before doing another All Stars.
It was obvious in the editing that they taped each one of the queens winning, but not the possibility that there would be a tie. SO when Ru decides that it's a tie, they have to use the footage they had, which is the other Hall of Famers handing each of them the crown and scepter. But they don't appear together that way, nor do they prance the runway together. And when Ru announces the winner, and that they both win $100K, her face isn't seen, which means it was added later.
The biggest theory on social media is that Ru did this because Trinity was going to be the fourth white queen to win All Stars, and that the Hall needed some diversity. The fact that Ru didn't just crown Monet shows that even he didn't think anyone would believe that Monet beat Trinity. This is just shady, and it runs against all the claims of integrity that the show has built its reputation on. They damaged it severely with the last AS when Shangela was denied, and now they've just about killed it with this badly edited move.
It shouldn't affect the regular seasons, since season 10 was actually very good (although they are going overboard with the wheel of lip syncs). It's just odd that Ru seems to be taking himself out of the equation for deciding who is the most worthy winner, whether it's the lip sync tournament in regular seasons or the bizarre, inconsistent "All Star rule" over the years. Just pick the damn winner, Ru. It's easier to stand by the truth then it is to cover for hedging your bets.
I really hope All Stars takes a break for at least a season. Have some of kind of competition with returning queens that doesn't have such pretentious titles like "Hall of Fame" attached to it. Make it fun again!

I was thinking that but was afraid to say it out loud. I think Trinity won it and Monet's crown was Ru's decision. I think they need to wait for another All-Stars too. If only just to get some new queens who can compete. |

That was one of the most lame endings ever. It was so obviously edited. I think Trinity killed it with her Caitlyn Jenner impersonation, but other than that, I never saw her as the one to beat.
If Naomi had been more seasoned, polished, humbled, mature - or whatever you want to call it - I think she would have won, but I agree with the judges that Naomi needs more growth. She isn't ready to go out into the world and be a representative of Ru's brand.
I wish Ru would have just given the win to Monet, and let the naysayers and critics complain.

I don't think any of the final four are "Hall of Fame" queens. I think Ru should just appoint Latrice to her Hall of Fame just because of her backstory and how she turned her life around thanks to the show.
I don't mind having these mini-seasons with returning queens to fill up some time in between real seasons. Just don't attach some pretentious name to it like "All Stars" and "Hall of Fame" as if it has some special meaning. Call it something else and keep things light and more fun. All this fake drama that is stirred up by the queens eliminating each other has gotten stale already.

Out of the four I was rooting for Trinity but I really wanted Manilla to win, and she probably would have if it weren't for the stupid all star rule. I hate that Ru has the other Queens choosing who gets the boot.
As for Monet and Monique, I did not want either to win. Both of them bugged me. They both came across as bitter bettys. I would have been fine with Naomi winning but I can see why she didn't.
