Shea Coulee is one of the strongest contenders of 'RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars' Season 5. And with the finale airing on July 24, one can see why anyone would bet on her. But she seems nervous and out of her element during the dance rehearsals. Though Jujubee and Miz Cracker were having a tough time picking up the dance moves, it was Shea whose choreography was the hardest. 

Shea is an amazing dancer but that doesn't have to mean she be given the toughest routine. She was experiencing a lot of trouble following the steps but here's hoping she mastered it eventually. In her confessional, she even says that the choreographer Todrick Hall may have overestimated her capability to pick up a routine. It wasn't just her or Miz Cracker who thought she was having to work on a difficult routine. Alexis Mateo too shared how Shea's choreography was the toughest of the lot. 

Meanwhile, fans are not pleased about why Shea got thrown under the bus with the dance steps. Some wondered whether the makers are being unfair to her and trying to sabotage her performance? It wouldn't be too far fetched if that turned out to be true because Miz Cracker's routine was way easier than Shea's. Jujubee too thought that everyone else got tough steps to ace while Miza Cracker had thigh slaps.

"Toddrick giving Shea the hardest choreography #AllStars5," a fan posted. "Why does Shea get harder choreography?! #AllStars5," a viewer expressed, to which another responded: "because it's todrick. he plays favorites *looks at what I know of AS3."

Whatever the case may be, all of the three finalists put together a beautiful performance that was highlighted by spunk and spirit. Everyone was in sync in the 'RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars' Season 5 finale and we are not surprised given the skillsets Jujubee, Miz Cracker and Shea come with. Whoever wins will be well-deserving of the crown given the amount of hard work that has gone into reaching this point. Shea though came this close to winning the show in Season 9 but was robbed of the crowning.
