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&#8217;t have won.<\/p>\n<p>JASMINE KENNEDIE: We know who. <a data-ylk=\"slk:Samantha [Star];elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/sam-star-8768771\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Samantha [Star]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>HERSHII: It threw my whole game off. I didn&#8217;t understand what was going on. Jasmine had been talking to all the girls on the side, and I thought she&#8217;d just been talking to me. All of a sudden, the girls are voting to send whoever through. I was going to put <a data-ylk=\"slk:Joey Jay;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/tv\/rupauls-drag-race-joey-jay-elimination-interview\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Joey Jay<\/a> through and find a way to deadlock it so Ru could put me through.

You may think I&#8217;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&#8217;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 <a data-ylk=\"slk:Kennedy [Davenport];elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/rupauls-drag-race-kennedy-davenport-reads-messy-season-16-drama-8426816\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Kennedy [Davenport]<\/a> finished the lip-sync, I said I&#8217;ve got to speak my truth.

We have to put either Hershii or me [through] but we all have to vote for one person, and they voted for me!<\/p>\n<p>SHUGA: We did vote for you. I had no idea.<\/p>\n<p>HERSHII: So, why you didn&#8217;t pick me?<\/p>\n<p>SHUGA: [Jasmine] kind of f&#8212;ed me up, because I was going to give my point to Kennedy, even though she was already winning. I was like, f&#8212; everybody else, I&#8217;m just giving her the point, she&#8217;s MVQ, she&#8217;s the one that deserves it!<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"'RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 11' queen Jasmine KennedieCredit: Paramount+\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"standard-img w-full w-full h-auto\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/aol_entertainment_weekly_articles_368\/96d58d1aa22ff02b89df92e7cc655258.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;RuPaul&#8217;s Drag Race All Stars 11&#8217; queen Jasmine Kennedie<br \/>Credit: Paramount+<\/p>\n<p>Shuga, it sounds like you wanted to play the point system fairly?<\/p>\n<p>SHUGA: I was a very fair queen.

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&#8217;t. I struggled with that in the second episode, because I&#8217;m all about my word and I wanted to play fairly. I could&#8217;ve done that, but, deep down I just couldn&#8217;t do it.<\/p>\n<p>JASMINE: I didn&#8217;t expect any of them to give me a point because I did talk a lot of s&#8212;, and I was very upfront with people.
