The premiere of Drag Race‘s 11th season comes just two weeks after the franchise pulled a somewhat controversial stunt, crowning both Trinity the Tuck and Monet X Change as the winners of All Stars 4. They became the fourth and fifth members of Ru’s Hall of Fame, which already included Chad Michaels, Alaska and Trixie Mattel.
