Read on for EW&#8217;s exclusive interview with Jasmine, Hershii, and Shuga below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">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?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">HERSHII LIQCOUR-JET\u00c9: 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&#8217;t have won.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">JASMINE KENNEDIE: We know who. <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/sam-star-8768771\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Samantha [Star];itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Samantha [Star]&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Samantha [Star]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">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 href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/tv\/rupauls-drag-race-joey-jay-elimination-interview\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Joey Jay;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Joey Jay&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Joey Jay<\/a> through and find a way to deadlock it so Ru could put me through. Joey says Jasmine&#8217;s name. I go, wait a minute&#8230;. Right before we walked up, Jasmine looks past me, to Joey, and she says, &#8220;You have to something&#8221; and it just clicked to me right then. You were scheming with all three of us! They got me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">SHUGA CAIN: I didn&#8217;t know that you knew!<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"'Drag Race All Stars 11' queens Hershii LiqCour-Jet\u00e9, Shuga Cain, Jasmine Kennedie for EW\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/46869b452f8f9bd9d96a3e250eeb45a1.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Drag Race All Stars 11&#8217; queens Hershii LiqCour-Jet\u00e9, Shuga Cain, Jasmine Kennedie for EW<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">JASMINE: Let me explain. 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 href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/rupauls-drag-race-kennedy-davenport-reads-messy-season-16-drama-8426816\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Kennedy [Davenport];itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Kennedy [Davenport]&quot;}\" class=\"link \">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 class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">SHUGA: We did vote for you. I had no idea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">HERSHII: So, why you didn&#8217;t pick me?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">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=\"869\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/96d58d1aa22ff02b89df92e7cc655258.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;RuPaul&#8217;s Drag Race All Stars 11&#8217; queen Jasmine Kennedie<br \/>Credit: Paramount+<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Shuga, it sounds like you wanted to play the point system fairly?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">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&#8217;t. I struggled with that in the second episode, because I\u2019m 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 class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">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. Not these girls really thinking trans lives matter this time! Wow, thank you!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">HERSHII: I felt like <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/trinity-k-bonet-clarifies-gender-journey-rupauls-drag-race-8764293\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Trinity K.

So close!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">SHUGA: At that last point, I was like \u2014 can I say f&#8212;? \u2014 Sorry, f&#8212; all this. I can&#8217;t. I kind of started to black out. There&#8217;s no way I was figuring out whose points and whatever, I didn&#8217;t even know.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read the original article on <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/rupaul-drag-race-all-stars-11-eliminated-queens-react-jasmine-kennedie-point-scheme-12007029\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Entertainment Weekly;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Entertainment Weekly&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Entertainment Weekly<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Key Points Jasmine Kennedie, Hershii LiqCour-Jet\u00e9, and Shuga Cain react to the purple bracket finale in an exclusive&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":279561,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[107378,83295,9,24,63,122,124,123,40346,107240],"class_list":["post-279560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-entertainment-weekly","tag-jasmine-kennedie","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-rupaul39s-drag-race","tag-shuga-cain"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=279560"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279560\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/279561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=279560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=279560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=279560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
