clara you mean you can't believe the other queens chose Kennedy over Shangela like seriously the only reason why they chose her was because Kennedy went on about how she felt like she has nothing going on for her while saying shangela and trixie do (which is true) but the queens basically pitted her.... so no trixie and shangela should have been the finally 2 but shangela should have no doubt won

Look at my baby Yara 😍😍
