Morgan McMichaels

* Season 2
* All Stars 3

**Morgan McMichaels** is the stage name of **Thomas White** and was a contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 2 and Rupaul's Drag Race All Stars 3.

## Rupaul's Drag Race

While on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 2, Morgan had a fierce attitude and wasn't afraid to say what she thought. She proved her dominance when she won the first main challenge of the season. During Episode 4, Morgan and Sonique landed in the bottom 2 and had the tightest lip sync in the history of the show at the time, however Morgan managed to beat Sonique and continue on in the competition. However, Morgan was eliminated the next week when she once again landed in the bottom 2 against Sahara Davenport.

Morgan later came back for Rupaul's Drag Race All Stars 3 and had stated that she wanted to eliminate the strongest competitors. This proved to be her downfall when she was placed in the bottom 2 with Chi Chi Devayne, and was eliminated by BenDeLaCreme week 1. Later in the competition during week 5, Morgan along with the rest of the eliminated contestants returned for the chance to return to the competition. Morgan came back when BenDeLaCreme won the lip sync and got the power to bring her back. However, she was eliminated the next week anyway by Shangela. Morgan came back to the finale and voted for Bebe Zahara Benet, and Kennedy Davenport to be in the top 2.

## Final Words

### Season 2

"I didn't serve it the way the judges wanted me to serve it. I'm not bitter, I'm not crazy. I haven't cared about what people thought of me the whole time I've been here, I'm not gonna start now. I care about what I think about me. If I'm happy with me, than that's good enough right?"

### All Stars 3

**First Elimination:** "Performing my own track was a little.. you know.. riskay but I think it was a little contradictory that Dela sent me home because I wasn't the worst out of the two. But I'm grateful to be here, even though I'm first to go, I'm still part of a legacy so [inaudible] about that."

**Second Elimination:** "Not so excited about going home but I'm at peace with it and I would have done nothing different. Why blend in when you could stand out? I got to be on all star season 3 so all star forever. and I f\*\*ing better get two of these. Queen of Scotland is out this way."
