In a move that made whiteout a controversial subject, BenDeLaCreme -- the frontrunner for the crown and the winner of this week’s challenge, along with four of the other five challenges -- eliminated herself, bringing Morgan McMichaels back into the competition.

But it wasn’t just the queens on stage who were shocked. Fans flooded Twitter with reactions to the episode ranging from anger to joy to pure confusion. There was so much talk on Twitter, that the hashtag #AllStars3 became a No. 1 trending topic worldwide.
