Default Lipsyncs that could/should've been double shantays

In the herstory of Drag Race there have been a handful of "double shantays", aka. instances where RuPaul or the host* chose to eliminate neither queen...

- Sharon Needles vs. Phi Phi O'Hara ("It's Raining Men" - technically the first instance because Willam was disqualified, but the lipsync was basically null and void)
- Alyssa Edwards vs. Roxxxy Andrews ("Whip My Hair", the first double shantay)
- Darienne Lake vs. Bendelacreme ("Point of No Return", aka. the "Dela lost but we can't eliminate her yet lipsync")
- Alyssa Edwards vs. Tatianna ("Shut Up and Drive")
- Farrah Moan vs. Cynthia Lee Fontaine ("Woman Up" - because Eureka was removed from the competition on grounds of her health)
- Eureka vs. Kameron Michaels ("New Attitude")
- Eureka vs. Aquaria ("If")
- Bendelacreme vs. Shangela ("I Kissed a Girl")
- Yvie Oddly vs. Brooke Lynn Hytes ("Sorry Not Sorry")
- Manila Luzon vs. Monet X Change ("Jump To It")
- Latrice Royale vs. Monique Heart ("Sissy That Walk")
- Jackie Cox vs. Heidi N Closet ("Kill the Lights")
- Miz Cracker vs. Morgan McMichaels ("Where Have You Been") - disqualified because even after production BS, Morgan clearly ****ing won


*I've placed this because whilst Brooke Lynn Hytes hasn't yet saved both queens, it is a future possibility (no this isn't a spoiler, girls)

All of those lipsyncs considered... do you think there are any others that could feasibly have been double shantays? Post them below. Remember, it has to be bloody close between the two queens otherwise this is pointless

I'll start...


Couldn't find a video that just has this lipsync but it's the first one in this video. It's understandable why TKB won this but considering April's rough run on S6 I couldn't help but feel bad she went home this early, especially when she really matches Trinity's energy for most of the song (TKB only really "wins" when she stands on the stairs, IMO)


Comfortably the closest lipsync of Season 7 (Kennedy murdered Katya, sorry girls!), it's only really because this is Kandy's third lipsync that she (fairly) goes home to Jaidynn here. But... the editing is doing a LOT of work and I can't help but wonder if we saw the whole package, it'd be a different decision (that cut away from Kandy just as she's clearly about to do a jump/split/something around the 1 minute mark RELEASE THE FOOTAGE, MARY)


Okay this video isn't on YouTube and **** this bitch for tricking me. Call me a hater but I genuinely think this was a better lipsync for a S11 double shantay than Sorry Not Sorry both of them sell the HELL out of the song without resorting to a ****ing gymnastics routine. This is one of the few instances I've been gobsmacked by a queen losing the lipsync, because Scarlet really gave everything here and against someone like Ra'Jah (one of the most underrated lipsync assassins of all time) that's no easy feat.
