Don't Jinkx yourself, Carrie. Literally, in this case, since she wasn't bottom two until the ball.
Oh wait
And I'm with DevonRoars. Jinkx was so boring and one-note to me Alaska on the other hand was at various times hilarious, vulnerable, messy/dramatic, etc. And her looks/challenges are so memorable to me (like her amazing perfume ad), whereas I can't remember a single thing Jinkx did on the show except win
Jinx definitely deserved her win. She ruled that season. Not to say she's better than Alaska, but in terms of the season 5 crown, it found the right home
These later lip syncs take longer because I try to get the other judges involved in deliberations. It's not as easy to make the call by myself anymore.
Koko Khalyan.Carmen Scarlett. This is is your last chance to impress me, and save yourselves from elimination.

Dear Judges,
My initial shock of being in the bottom two for my first time is over and has left me angry and saddened by being here.
This is the first time I've been in the bottom 2, and there is only one queen left that hasn't been in the bottom 2 before. This has shown my consistency as one of the top performers in this competition. While I am not a stereotypical glamour queen, my diversity and originality has hopefully set me apart from others here.
I was happy with my makeover and my submission. My sister was great and we worked really well together. A recent critique on several of the past challenges have been that I'm not emotional enough with my entries. I do the challenge well, but I don't but enough soul and story into the entries. I'm learning that striving for perfection without the emotion is not worth it, and to win this competition I have to be able to marry both of those concepts perfectly. My focus will be sharp on the remainder of this competition to do this and return to being high like I am capable of.
I still think I have an excellent shot of winning this competition if I can just get past this week. I can keep bringing something new and exciting to this if given the opportunity. Judges, I hope you decide to keep me here.
Good luck Carmen, I have much respect and admiration for you.

For My Life
It took me a long time to think about what I was going to say. This opportunity means everything to me and I’m so scared of saying the wrong thing. I wrote out a whole comedic response complete with some fun Mean Girls references, at least so it would be a little different from my last, but I as much as I hide behind shticks in my challenges, when it comes down to my life, I like to be honest and truthful.
I don’t really know what I would do without this game. This has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’ve met some incredible people and it’s given me some self-value that has made my life a lot brighter when I struggle through. I’m really not ready to go home just yet. I believe I have so much to give as a drag queen, and I guess I’m really trying to prove something.
As I said in my last lip-sync, this game gives me a lot of hope because I aspire to be a drag queen in real life and I don’t think I can ever do that because I’m afraid that my parents will stop caring about me completely. I think if I was to do really well in this competition, it might make it a little easier to tell them about my future dreams, and maybe, just maybe they might understand.
This is what I want to do. I’m prepared to give it all I have got. I absolutely love this competition and I think succeeding in this would be so beneficial. I know until recently that I was a bit behind the other queens but I believe I have proved I have the talent along the way. My challenge win last week made me so happy. I’m so thankful for that.
I’m not going to throw Koko under the bus but we both have an equal number of challenge wins. And I don’t want to give up. I’m so determined to keep proving I have the talent to make it all the way to the end of this competition.
There are only two steps of this journey left, but I have the energy to walk for miles. Add twenty extra girls to the competition right now and I’d still keep on running to the finish line. I can’t lose this opportunity now. I would be devastated to leave when I’m this close to the end.
This competition means absolutely everything to me. I couldn't, and I wouldn't go a day without it.
Please let me to stay in this competition. I promise that I have the fight left in me. You won’t be disappointed.
Thank you so much. I love you ♡
Carmen Scarlett
Ladies, I have made my decision.
Koko Khalyan,
...
Carmen Scarlett, you started this game off quietly, picking up steam as you went. Your scarlett-tinged entries had the judges seeing red in a good way last week, earning you your first challenge win. Out of all of the girls I have had to say goodbye to so far, you are the hardest. You've grown throughout this competition beyond what anyone expected at the beginning, and learning more about you has felt like a gift each week. Keep your head up, honey. Whatever is thrown at you in the real world, whatever people tell you about yourself, remember that you are a star. Now,
Condragulations Top 4. Only one challenge stands between you and the finale. Let's keep the ball rolling.
It's been so pleasant to work with you, and I'm so sorry to see you go. You're a joy, and I'm happy to have become sisters with you. Please know that you are amazing, no matter how it may seem in your offline life. Don't take this as the end, but just the beginning of your drag career. I hope you one day drag it up in the real world, but, if nothing else, I hope you come back and slay next season here on ATRL.
And hey, I'm the only one left who was never in the Bottom 2!
Literally, in this case, since she wasn't bottom two until the ball.
Alaska on the other hand was at various times hilarious, vulnerable, messy/dramatic, etc. And her looks/challenges are so memorable to me (like her amazing perfume ad), whereas I can't remember a single thing Jinkx did on the show except win
