“Drag Race ”eliminated“ ”queens“ ”reveal more details on Jasmine Kennedie’s epic points“ ”scheme: ‘F— all this!’ (exclusive)

Key Points

• Jasmine Kennedie, Hershii LiqCour-Jeté, and Shuga Cain react to the purple bracket finale in an exclusive Entertainment Weekly interview.

• After Jasmine admittedly maneuvered an epic points scheme, Hershii quips, “This bitch tried me!”

• Jasmine also explains herself, while the queens reveal new details on the points scheme that led to shocking eliminations.

As Rihanna once reminded us with biblical gusto, every one of life’s tongues that rise up against you shall fall. And there’s no better embodiment of such divine essence than Jasmine Kennedie of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 11.

The self-dubbed Mouth Almighty™ of the drag franchise, Jasmine’s lips flapped in double time Friday on AS11‘s ninth episode, after she clashed with her sisters over point distribution and “fairness” (a loose term in the All Stars legacy!) and ultimately sent the purple bracket off with fireworks thanks to the season 14 alum‘s point-based scheme that courted enough momentum to push her through to the next round.

Her sisters — including Hershii LiqCour-Jeté (season 16) and Shuga Cain (season 11) — however, exclusively tell Entertainment Weekly they were none too pleased that they… well… had to fall in Jasmine’s wake after rising through the ranks of the competition against her.

All three queens join EW for a comical chat about their time on the show, and open up about how Jasmine was able to dupe them all for another shot at the Drag Race crown.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: There was scheming and points drama in this bracket. How did you react to the way the points were distributed, and what was your reaction to not advancing?

HERSHII LIQCOUR-JETÉ: This bitch tried me! I came in very strategic, and then I got real comfortable the second episode. I thought I annihilated the third episode. And then somebody won that I thought shouldn’t have won.

JASMINE KENNEDIE: We know who. Samantha [Star].

HERSHII: It threw my whole game off. I didn’t understand what was going on. Jasmine had been talking to all the girls on the side, and I thought she’d just been talking to me. All of a sudden, the girls are voting to send whoever through. I was going to put Joey Jay through and find a way to deadlock it so Ru could put me through. Joey says Jasmine’s name. I go, wait a minute…. Right before we walked up, Jasmine looks past me, to Joey, and she says, “You have to something” and it just clicked to me right then. You were scheming with all three of us! They got me.

SHUGA CAIN: I didn’t know that you knew!

JASMINE: Let me explain. You may think I’m dumb, but I actually do know math sometimes. The day before we filmed, I realized that me and Hershii both had three points. If we weren’t in the top, the only way that we could advance is if we got all three points. I pulled her over and told her about it and said to keep it very hush-hush. Right after Sam and Kennedy [Davenport] finished the lip-sync, I said I’ve got to speak my truth. We can make RuPaul pick. We have to put either Hershii or me [through] but we all have to vote for one person, and they voted for me!

SHUGA: We did vote for you. I had no idea.

HERSHII: So, why you didn’t pick me?

SHUGA: [Jasmine] kind of f—ed me up, because I was going to give my point to Kennedy, even though she was already winning. I was like, f— everybody else, I’m just giving her the point, she’s MVQ, she’s the one that deserves it!

Shuga, it sounds like you wanted to play the point system fairly?

SHUGA: I was a very fair queen. But I was not going to give my point first. That was not happening. If you wanted a point from me, you had to give me one first. I really stuck to my guns. I did get got, but, you know, I had an opportunity to flip the game on its head and screw everyone over, but I didn’t. I struggled with that in the second episode, because I’m all about my word and I wanted to play fairly. I could’ve done that, but, deep down I just couldn’t do it.

JASMINE: I didn’t expect any of them to give me a point because I did talk a lot of s—, and I was very upfront with people. Not these girls really thinking trans lives matter this time! Wow, thank you!

HERSHII: I felt like Trinity K. Bonét. So close!

SHUGA: At that last point, I was like — can I say f—? — Sorry, f— all this. I can’t. I kind of started to black out. There’s no way I was figuring out whose points and whatever, I didn’t even know.
