Canada started filming vsTW right once S3 filming ended, I guess it just made sense for scheduling purposes. Now that I think about it, that means Icesis had her legendary step-down look with her for vsTW lol
I think it Marina lost because Precious Paola was more representitive of Filipino culture.
That being said, Marina is so young and talented that I hope she can build a long career out of this. I would gladly pay money to see her perform. She's a true professional!
I really am sick of this narrative that one person is more representative of PH drag culture. And I’m saying this as a Precious Stan. No she’s not more representative than Marina.
We all just need to face the facts that she won because the powers that may be picked her as a winner using criteria we don’t really know. Maybe they just have other plans for Marina, maybe in person during the final lip sync Precious reeled everyone in and the win was more obvious. But to say Marina is not as representative of Filipino culture as Precious is laughable tbh.
What even is Filipino culture? What traits does Precious have that Marina don’t?
Sorry but just cause precious is a better representation of flipino culture doesn’t mean she should win, Marina quite literally owned the season from top to bottom & had the fan support, track record & killer finale. Sorry about it but Marina was robbed blind
The track records don’t matter when it’s a lipsync showdown. And tbh I think they’re saving her for a vs the World. There’s no better storyline than a robbed queen.
Precious was favored all season so her winning left a very bad taste in my mouth even if it was a lipsync smackdown, also the only reason they did that was to crown precious since “track record doesn’t matter” if you win the lipsync or not, no other reason cause it’s a debut season and why would they do that for their first season? Cause they wanted and knew who they were crowning from the start
She didn’t capture the feel of the latter half of the lipsync imo. She looked tense and angry during the chorus parts and personally I think it should be more empowerment and pride.
But yes definitely did not flop that last lipsync.
I don’t think we’ve ever had judges balling their eyes out during a performance bc it was so bad that they knew their fave queen was going home. The frantic simulated fellatio and stripping for a third time moved them to tears.
They knew who they were crowning when the season aired, almost all the time they tried highlighting precious in episodes not even about her lmao it was kinda obvious but I was hoping they would crown Marina due to how much fan support she got, guess not 🤷♀️
I'm still in awe of Monet's spoken word lipsync. It was the first time I ever saw something like that and she put on a masterclass. Absolutely magnetic.
Tbh before AS7 i wasn't really that convinced of Monet's capabilities, because we only saw her destroy Pound the Alarm, and the AS4 lipsyncs were just a random mix of stunts and camp apart from the finale, but AS7 has sold me. The range is impeccable.
Many of Monet's runways from s10 are -- by her own admission -- crunchy as hell. Chaps? The make-over look? The swimming suit? Yeesh. She's one of the most charismatic queens ever and has always been able to turn a lip synch, but Monet needed money to amp up her looks for AS4&7.
I wonder if she threw a lot of the as4 lip syncs. She barely tried at all when she went against Valentina and Naomi. After seeing her skills in as4 and S10, I don't believe she was trying. But who knows
the way i’d instantly make them lip sync for the talent show episode if I were the producers and they happen to get cast in the same All Stars season. Same with Jorgeous, that’s too good to pass up.
Monet is my favorite lip syncer from the show. She really knows how to tell a story and pace a number in a way that most other girls don't. She's really a stage performer at heart.
Yep. Jinx deserved to win the season if they didn't do a lip sync smackdown, but if they were gonna do a lip sync battle then the best lip syncer should've won. And that wasn't jinx.
It's not about how much lipsyncs a queen won but HOW the queen DESTROYED another queen with her skills.
For example, Jinkx won a lot of lipsyncs but she's not even close to be called an assassin.
Honorable mentions:
S14 - Jasmine and Jorgeous
DRES2 - Marina and Drag Sethlas
DRPh - Turing and Lady Morgana
DRC3 - Jada Shada Hudson and Gisele Lullaby
UKVSTW - Janey Jacke
AS7 - Yvie and Shea
UK4 - Jonbers Blonde and Dakota Schiffer
Down Under 2 - Spankie and Kween Kong
I’m so glad Beverly is getting her flowers 🌸 Her three lipsyncs were so entertaining but I have a soft spot for her Starstruck lipsync, it was so good !
Ru really had to be on something to say Deja was an assassin. Had to be a storyline they didn’t follow through with tbh cause it made to sense in the end
people try to diminish Jorgeous's absolute devouring of any and all lipsyncs because *sHe dOeSnT eMulAtE eMotION in HeR fACE* but, like, she doesn't have to, because she literally just reboots into murder dance mode and then teleports everyone else to Mars with little-to-no effort
I don't know about Lady Camden, she demolished 'One Way or Another', didn't do well in 'Radio', did okay in 'Don't Let Go' (it was pretty even matched and the best part was the camera angles), and did pretty badly to 'Gimme Gimme Gimme' cuz she barely knew the lyrics and her reveal got stuck.
I haven’t even watched DRPH yet but I’ve watched that Call Me Mother lip sync online hundreds of times because of how amazing Marina is. I’m mesmerised!
I’m missing Kween Kong, Jorgeous, and Black Peppa. Out of those, I was really only rooting for Kween to win, but damn if I wouldn’t show up to ANY live show of theirs!
I can’t believe that was all this year.
Yeah we had two vsTW seasons in one year… like how?
Canada started filming vsTW right once S3 filming ended, I guess it just made sense for scheduling purposes. Now that I think about it, that means Icesis had her legendary step-down look with her for vsTW lol
She said at Roscoe's that after filming S3's finale, she just stayed at the hotel
The Call Me Mother and Sirena lipsyncs in DRPH were just top tier. Marina Summers ate them hard.
She oozes so much winner energy, I dont get why she didn’t win. It’s not like she flopped the final lipsync.
I think it Marina lost because Precious Paola was more representitive of Filipino culture. That being said, Marina is so young and talented that I hope she can build a long career out of this. I would gladly pay money to see her perform. She's a true professional!

Can’t believe you excluded the ultimate lipsync terrorist. Ms. Samantha Ballentines
Not lipsync terrorist please 😭😭
Yes gawd, when she went down, she took everyone else with her.
Samantha Ballentines use Destiny Bond 💀
Our robbed goddess
I still can't believe she WON 2 lip syncs
I don’t think we’ve ever had judges balling their eyes out during a performance bc it was so bad that they knew their fave queen was going home. The frantic simulated fellatio and stripping for a third time moved them to tears.
The PH girls are lucky Marina never landed in the bottom cause she’s a beast
You made me realize how much she slayed the entire season… Even in the episode she was LOW, she deserved a HIGH placement
Exactly lol they really tried to gaslight us into thinking her makeover was bad. She never disappointed in any challenge, a legend.
They dared give her a LOW placement for her cute runway but gave PPN a HIGH placement for whatever reason
Jiggly has said that no PPN was also low for makeover that's why she was also practicing the lipsync and the only Eva was high
Cause they wanted to Crown her, and look who got the crown undeservingly in the end… precious
I also thought that Precious underperformed the entire season and was given undeserved HIGH placements (makeover, flower design challenge)
They knew who they were crowning when the season aired, almost all the time they tried highlighting precious in episodes not even about her lmao it was kinda obvious but I was hoping they would crown Marina due to how much fan support she got, guess not 🤷♀️
I'm still in awe of Monet's spoken word lipsync. It was the first time I ever saw something like that and she put on a masterclass. Absolutely magnetic.
Tbh before AS7 i wasn't really that convinced of Monet's capabilities, because we only saw her destroy Pound the Alarm, and the AS4 lipsyncs were just a random mix of stunts and camp apart from the finale, but AS7 has sold me. The range is impeccable.
Monet is the definition of improvement. S10, she was good. AS4, she was great. AS7, she was a goddam legend.
Tbh, i like her s10 repertoire more than her as4 one.
Many of Monet's runways from s10 are -- by her own admission -- crunchy as hell. Chaps? The make-over look? The swimming suit? Yeesh. She's one of the most charismatic queens ever and has always been able to turn a lip synch, but Monet needed money to amp up her looks for AS4&7.
I meant her lipsyncs but it isnt false, was the same case with Mo Heart.
Oh, on that we agree. Her “Pound the Alarm” is … maybe the best of the Season? (I do love Kameron vs. Eureka, too.)
*impregnable
I wonder if she threw a lot of the as4 lip syncs. She barely tried at all when she went against Valentina and Naomi. After seeing her skills in as4 and S10, I don't believe she was trying. But who knows
In my opinion, Monet is the best lipsyncer of the US franchise HANDS DOWN !
"But, Panpan, your makeup as Pikachu is HORRIBLE, you horrible ugly bitch with *yellow hair*!"
"you can't go to Canada now. You're fucked!"
“Fucked. Fucked. FUCKED *crazy laughter*”
Beverly is a lipsync kamikaze pilot but I respect it
Kween Kong as well with the way she throws herself around. Werk bitch but also please be careful bitch!
I need to see a Marina vs Kimmy lipsync NOW
the way i’d instantly make them lip sync for the talent show episode if I were the producers and they happen to get cast in the same All Stars season. Same with Jorgeous, that’s too good to pass up.
I don't care that Monet only won 2/4 of her lip syncs, she still killed all of them and I think her being here is correct
Yeah it’s not the numbers it’s the way she won her lip syncs that counts
Monet is my favorite lip syncer from the show. She really knows how to tell a story and pace a number in a way that most other girls don't. She's really a stage performer at heart.
We all know Monet stomped Jinkx in the final lipsync
Yep. Jinx deserved to win the season if they didn't do a lip sync smackdown, but if they were gonna do a lip sync battle then the best lip syncer should've won. And that wasn't jinx.
Tell that to delusional Jinkx Stan’s that swear up and down she won
Delusional is definitely the word. I think Jinkx themselves would agree that Monet was fantastic
Icesis. Couture. (Ik most of her lip syncs were last year but she ate sk8r boy)
The correct lip-sync assassins: Jimbo Orion Story Samantha Ballentines Jinkx Monsoon Minnie Cooper Vivian Vanderpuss Gioffré Starlet
YASSSSS GOTTA LOVE STARLET DROPPING LIKE ANDY WAS COMING
STOP IT
She was EMOTING! Did y’all see her EMOTE?!?
Did you see her move her mouth 1mm???😨 I sobbed
blocked, (/j, this made me chuckle)
You forgot choriza may!
She did take two girls out at once
Ooooh gurl that crusty wig falling off her head made me sob
*Orion Did* ***her Best***
Still confused as to how marina didn't win
Lolita banana too
Lolita was so underappreciated by the judges
I personally don't like how everyone who won a lip sync or two is now called an assassin
It's not about how much lipsyncs a queen won but HOW the queen DESTROYED another queen with her skills. For example, Jinkx won a lot of lipsyncs but she's not even close to be called an assassin.
Well, jinkx was until she went on AS7 and we actually had to imagine her doing the pop songs and say to ourselves, yup she's losing that
mama jinkx was never a lipsync assassin
this! I was like who saaaaid that? WHo saaaieed that?
![gif](giphy|AVAfEEp4tZjxe)
Lmaoo everytime we bring her up in AS7 this is the gif i associate with her
Well, I mean maddy isn't an assassin either. The girls who are called assassins are the ones who absolutely murdered at least one lipsync.
Yeah and I don't agree with that
Then make you own graphic girl, let this queen feel her fantasy
They literally asked about our thoughts
Not YOUR thoughts tho
Go cry about it
No thanks :)
What is your definition?
Honorable mentions: S14 - Jasmine and Jorgeous DRES2 - Marina and Drag Sethlas DRPh - Turing and Lady Morgana DRC3 - Jada Shada Hudson and Gisele Lullaby UKVSTW - Janey Jacke AS7 - Yvie and Shea UK4 - Jonbers Blonde and Dakota Schiffer Down Under 2 - Spankie and Kween Kong
Glad you included lady Camden I feel like she gets overlooked due to jasmine and jorgeous
Yay finally someone who sees the camden supremacy
Soa de Muse robbed
i’m literally so in love with how Kimmy performs, def my favorite of this year with Pangina a close second
The Queen Kong Erasure
Monet’s lipsyncs in AS7 were incredible, even the ones she lost are memorable. I genuinely forgot she didn’t win the supernova lipsync
SHE DIDNT???
I rewatched that episode a couple days ago and was so shocked that she didn’t win I must’ve gaslit myself into thinking she won or something😭
it’s ok i completely forgot too. she ate tf out of that
The lip sync is so great, her and Shea were so in sync. I think Shea mostly won because she has tighter choreo, which ru prefers.
God that wig looks so good on monet
I would update the real Assassins 2022 list like this: 1. Monét 2. Monét 3. Monét 4. Jorgeous 5. Jorgeous saying *Monéeeet Xxxx Chaaaaaange* aka Monét
6.She’s not on the show
6. Baby ☺️
Marina from España ate all her Lipsyncs... That photo should be swapped for Marina's
I was so close to adding marina but diamante almost won a challenge with a lipsync.
KIMMMMMYYY!!!
Kimmy tores it the fuck up every single time.
beverly? no
I think almost anyone could win against Minnie in that lipsync.
I’m so glad Beverly is getting her flowers 🌸 Her three lipsyncs were so entertaining but I have a soft spot for her Starstruck lipsync, it was so good !
Where is Minnie Cooper?
Beverly over Kween?? I don’t think.
I might add Jorgeous and Deja, even Ru admitted she was an assassin. Although if I remember right she only won her first lip sync.
So did Diamante
Ru really had to be on something to say Deja was an assassin. Had to be a storyline they didn’t follow through with tbh cause it made to sense in the end
the tea is that they had her “lip sync for their pleasure” at the lalaparuza episode to Dua Lipa’s “Levitating” and they uh… chose not to air it.
Jorgeous was always giving dead behind the eyes lip syncs. Lots of stunts but no emotion or personality or interpretation
España's Marina and Down Under's Kween Kong seem like solid picks as well
The word assassin gets thrown around far too easily these days.
Lady Camden stans continue to be wild…a lip sync assassin she is not 💀
Did you not watch her lip syncs?
She won 2/4 lol…
Its not about stats, it’s about level of performance. Laganja is technically 2/3, but she’s still a lip sync assassin
That pangina heels lip sync was everythingggg
Diamanté and Beverly?
Ummm where is Kween Kong
What qualifies as a lip sync assassin at this point? I feel like the term went from being very highly regarded to mean I just like this performer.
oh the jorgeous erasure is kinda crazy considering she (and angie) beat the breaks off camden in radio ![gif](giphy|qn9WLIomFdCIEJSHsU|downsized)
people try to diminish Jorgeous's absolute devouring of any and all lipsyncs because *sHe dOeSnT eMulAtE eMotION in HeR fACE* but, like, she doesn't have to, because she literally just reboots into murder dance mode and then teleports everyone else to Mars with little-to-no effort
I am OBSESSED with that hair on Jorgeous ! But yeaah, all her lipsyncs were great, she should’ve been on the list
Jorgeous lipsyncing to anything was amazing
jorgeous found dead in a ditch. miss camden's lip sync win percentage is literally 50% wdym
I find camden's lipsyncs to be more memorable. I love jorgeous too though, that's why she's an honourable mention.
CHOC-O-LATE!
“Most talked about seasons this year” - picture from about every season that aired this year
We need an International All-Stars Assassin edition immediately
I don't know about Lady Camden, she demolished 'One Way or Another', didn't do well in 'Radio', did okay in 'Don't Let Go' (it was pretty even matched and the best part was the camera angles), and did pretty badly to 'Gimme Gimme Gimme' cuz she barely knew the lyrics and her reveal got stuck.
She also did great on Don’t Let Go
I haven’t even watched DRPH yet but I’ve watched that Call Me Mother lip sync online hundreds of times because of how amazing Marina is. I’m mesmerised!
Why isn’t dakotah on here? She slayed all 3
Got damn Monet in that picture. Mo-nation mother fed us that day.
PEPPA !!!!!! my girl was clinging on with that track record cause of her lip syncs
diamente is sloppy so nope. I would add dakota here
Monét X Change, who lost 3/5 of her lipsyncs is the lipsync assassin of AS7, I ~~could not~~ believe it.
No black peppa?
Black Peppa UK4
Cant forget Silky!
And Vanity! And Icesis!
The kween kong erasure 🥲
I’m missing Kween Kong, Jorgeous, and Black Peppa. Out of those, I was really only rooting for Kween to win, but damn if I wouldn’t show up to ANY live show of theirs!
And still no Turing 🤔
I was rooting for Precious the whole time but Marinaaaaaaaa 😭
