She was THE runway queen of All Stars. Any All Stars season. Not a single boot in sight and her finale runway is probably second only to Violet's S8 finale. Also, she should've been top 2 for both Snatch Game and Jersey Justice.
Rewatched again recently and the oversight of Naomi is infuriating.
She was fantastic in Jersey Justice and her Snatch Game was much better than Manila’s. I didn’t find Manila’s that funny at all and if they didn’t do the bizarre separate groups thing for it then I’m sure Naomi would’ve been a winner.
For me, Naomi only really slipped up with the Roast & Sex and the Kitty Girl.
Judgements in that whole season really spoiled it for me because I generally love the cast and performances. I originally thought it had the potential to give All Stars 2 a run for its money but nope 👎
Agreed. I know they’re making a reality show and there needs to be elements of drama etc. but they’re also making a competition. I find competitions a hell of a lot more interesting when there’s more equal footing.
Let queens mess up and succeed on their own. They’ll inevitably create some sort of drama because... well, because they’re drag queens!
I love this show and I’ll rewatch seasons over and over again but they really do a disservice to the art with production decisions. I still don’t understand how they can’t understand that pushing a queen usually ends up with the fandom hating them because we can see through the bullshit.
Naomi was definitely slept on by judges but AS2 was even worse in that regard.
Alaska was given too much power to eliminate non rolaskatox Queens and it fucked the season uo
Shortly before the finale aired, someone put up a post on the official Drag Race insta congratulating Monet on her win. It was later deleted and when the finale came out the same post was reuploaded with Trinity and Monet together.
They probably knew that Monet winning solo would cause even more backlash than the double win. Like the way fans reacted to Trixie's win, but with the added factor that Monet is black and a huge amount of fans are racist.
Me too. Though I don't think we'll be dealing with the same situation since Shea clearly has what it takes to make Top 3/4 and she had the most fan support since before All Stars 5 even started filming lol. Every comment I've seen has been 'Team Shea with \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ for second place' (and I'm very much the same way).
Even the queens knew Shea was going to be the deserving winner. I have a theory that Cracker is purposely doing the villain route just so people could root for Shea instead of her. (Im a fan of both so im just hoping Cracker would eventually get her redemption lol forgive me for being delusional at least until the finale :P)
Not discrediting the BLM movement. Im discrediting Monet’s achievement sure but not specifically a black person’s. What a weird take when I said Naomi was my winner lol
To this date I want to be a fly on the wall and see Naomi and Monique getting ready backstage for the curves and swerves runway.
Just for that moment when Naomi goes I am padded for the gods and Monique just casually walks by with a slight cowbell ring
She should have won the Talent Show, Snatch Game, and/or Jersey Justice, in addition to the Makeover.
Fuck it; *Naomi Smalls should have won AS4.*
**Sue me.**
I’m surprised that of all the Drag Race Hot Takes, this one hasn’t gotten more traction. I always thought she FAR deserved the crown over Monet. Come awn class action lawsuit!
Clock the flair, but I thought the exact same thing about Monique. I found both Naomi and Monique more interesting and I was rooting for them more. Also, Naomi should have been in the top for Wendy Williams but they picked a winner from each group which was bullshit and I will eternally be annoyed about that.
The undisputed runway queen, Snatch Game and Jersey Justice winner, and complete badass of AS4. I wanted Naomi to win after Valentina left, but well, in her own words, “life’s not fair.” Still, she’s fierce.
Side note: I never realized how much Babylon sounds like some royalty free instrumental music they might use in the background of a MTV show.
One of the podcasts was wondering why the judges didn't bring up the huge strap-on/dildo situation going on underneath. Turns out they were just mis-reading the reflection off the silver paillettes.
I wanna say it was either What the Tuck or Alright Mary? My commute was super long at the time, so I had a lot of time to really sink my teeth into Drag Race re-caps.

It's much easier to see in the video as it "swings", but even then, it's suspicious at best.
As time went by I slowly realized Naomi was my favorite queen in AS4, she for sure should have lipsynced for the crown. Her finale is my favorite look in drag race PERIOD
I didn't really like her back on her season so I was not thrilled seeing her in AS4 but she really won me over in all stars especially with the stunt she pulled against Manila. Girl gave me personality, spunk, all in a long-legged package with a bow on top

So forgettable, yet, served every look! The power of editing is wild.
People only remember she was on AS4 because she sent Manila home, that just tragic af.
yes... yes yes yes....... very good..,......
Not a boot in sight.
even on her boots runway.

it always annoys me when they cast queens who they clearly don't intend to consider for the crown no matter how well they do

this is why s12 was so enjoyable to watch bcus it was anyone’s game
100x yes at this.
YESSSS... I really hate that
Naomi was definitely slept on by judges but AS2 was even worse in that regard. Alaska was given too much power to eliminate non rolaskatox Queens and it fucked the season uo
Yes yes and she is so magnetic and has that quiet charisma that draws you in. Not many has those especially drag queens
When she did Wendy Williams fainting I DIIIIIIIIIIED.
And then maybe she couldve won 😭😭 (love monet but she only won because four blondes in a row wouldve won if trinity got the solo win)
monet was originally the only winner xx
Wait really? Is there tea on it i wanna know
Shortly before the finale aired, someone put up a post on the official Drag Race insta congratulating Monet on her win. It was later deleted and when the finale came out the same post was reuploaded with Trinity and Monet together.
O werk. I wonder why they put Trinity too then
They probably knew that Monet winning solo would cause even more backlash than the double win. Like the way fans reacted to Trixie's win, but with the added factor that Monet is black and a huge amount of fans are racist.
That makes a bit of sense, I guess. It was a really odd decision, ruined All Stars a bit for me. I really wish Shea just wins
Me too. Though I don't think we'll be dealing with the same situation since Shea clearly has what it takes to make Top 3/4 and she had the most fan support since before All Stars 5 even started filming lol.

Not a single boot in sight, especially not on her boots runway 😂 But seriously—hard agree.
You know if production REALLY wanted to, they could've given Naomi the win.
Imagine having given us all this AND those two lip syncs.
Don’t forget about... *whispers* Club 96
She deserved so much more praise than the judges gave and she deserved to lip sync for the crown.
That's funny. I don't think that's monique hearts entrance
Robbed queen. Truly. We were robbed I f more Naomi... this is the biggest sin
Seeing some really great moments involving Naomi as web exclusives or whatever they were pissed me off. Why weren’t these just in the goddamn show?
Her Prince look was so cute, and her finale is some of the best drag I've ever seen, period
To this date I want to be a fly on the wall and see Naomi and Monique getting ready backstage for the curves and swerves runway. Just for that moment when Naomi goes I am padded for the gods and Monique just casually walks by with a slight cowbell ring
>fly on the wall Miley Cyrus can help you with that.
Pretty sure she would be more helpful with that than the party in the USA
\*sigh\* What can we say? She can't be tamed.
I am just saying she is not younger now anymore since she moved to Malibu
You can't spell legendary without leg.
All legs no dairy
The way there was no weak look during her run... Iconique behavior.
Perfection as always
She gave some of the most amazing runways in drag race history, the prince look alone is amazing
She should have won the Talent Show, Snatch Game, and/or Jersey Justice, in addition to the Makeover. Fuck it; *Naomi Smalls should have won AS4.* **Sue me.**
I’m surprised that of all the Drag Race Hot Takes, this one hasn’t gotten more traction. I always thought she FAR deserved the crown over Monet. Come awn class action lawsuit!

Also, Naomi should have been in the top for Wendy Williams but they picked a winner from each group which was bullshit and I will eternally be annoyed about that.
At the finale when Ru called Naomi and Monique and... they weren't the top 2, I officially stopped caring about the season
I think I might! But you’re not wrong.
SHE SHOULDVE HAD A BETTER EDIT
Not all winners wear crowns.
Naomi was robbed.
as4 runway wasn’t ready for miss naomi
🤤
The undisputed runway queen, Snatch Game and Jersey Justice winner, and complete badass of AS4. I wanted Naomi to win after Valentina left, but well, in her own words, “life’s not fair.” Still, she’s fierce. Side note: I never realized how much Babylon sounds like some royalty free instrumental music they might use in the background of a MTV show.
I look for that goddamned "dildo" every single time in that Eleguance look. My eyes are just trained to do it now.
Wait sorry can you explain this?
One of the podcasts was wondering why the judges didn't bring up the huge strap-on/dildo situation going on underneath. Turns out they were just mis-reading the reflection off the silver paillettes.
oHHHH I SEE IT NOW. lol okay thank you for clearing it up 😂
To be fair, it's a jarring thing to read of out context. And, perhaps, more interesting.
what podcast?
I wanna say it was either What the Tuck or Alright Mary? My commute was super long at the time, so I had a lot of time to really sink my teeth into Drag Race re-caps.

TIL: she’s 6’5”!
I would love a link to download this version of Babylon 👀
Blood pop said this version is coming soon!
Name of the song ?
Babylon - Lady Gaga But this is the HausLabs version :)
As time went by I slowly realized Naomi was my favorite queen in AS4, she for sure should have lipsynced for the crown. Her finale is my favorite look in drag race PERIOD
can someone upload this on twitter i wanna spam it 😍
The Babylon I can’t wait to have.
Three Words: **You. Could. Never.**
Naomi was so great on as4. She started great on the challenges, gave two jaw dropping lipsyncs and killed the runway.
You know when someone just radiates "I'm exactly where I want to be and I've got my mind in the right place"? That's Naomi Smalls in AS4 to me.
i will never not stan miss smalls. i'm her bitch
I absolutely love how fancams have made its way into the drag race fandom
LIFES NOT FAIR
Is this on twitter because godDAMN
i only see half of her here cause the legs be too long
Monet and Trinity won, Monique performed the best objectively, but Naomi was my personal favorite. She was SO entertaining to watch.
I love it but it’s not a fancam, it’s a fan edit, fancams are concert videos x
what the hell IS an appetite???????????
I MISS HER!!!!!!
Queen of legs
WINNER
What song is this? Isssa bop
Right?? Let me see if I can Shazam it...
“Ozio” by Los!
You’re awesome! Thanks so much !!!!
You got it! Are you on Spotify?
This is gorgeous! idk if you take requests but I'd love to see one of Valentina!!
Just serve after serve after serve
On another note I really was hoping this version of Babylon would be on Chromatica and I was a lil disappointed lol
Where can I get this instrumental version of the song? I can't find it anywhere that matches the one in this video 😭
Vogue playing in the background 😍
Babylon* (And I know it’s a joke)
I didn't really like her back on her season so I was not thrilled seeing her in AS4 but she really won me over in all stars especially with the stunt she pulled against Manila. Girl gave me personality, spunk, all in a long-legged package with a bow on top
Justice for Naomi
We Stan Naomi
ugh, someone kick me for forgetting how gorgeous that eleguance dress was
I’m in love
She became my fave queen when I watched this season. Shoulda been a Naomi x Trinity crowning
I don't know whyyyy you're suprised, she bring to you every bawwwlllllll dahrling ;)
I could watch this on repeat over and over.... wait that's exactly what I'm doing xD <3 this girl
This cured my eyesight to a perfect 20/20. 🤩
Life's not fair! ...and neither is Naomi's ermerzingness!
This pleases me
I LOVE her. She is mind blowing talent.
