Every once in a while, RuPaul will put two queens in the bottom to lip sync for their lives and the results are underwhelming. In these instances, RuPaul declares a double sashay: a double elimination in which both queens go home. As of this writing, this has only happened twice in "Drag Race" history but both times were a shock to the viewers and queens alike.
In Season 5, a few queens were underperforming compared to their fellow contestants. Then, when contestants Honey Mahogany and Vivienne Pinay landed in the bottom and still didn't perform like they had a fire under them, Ru took the opportunity to send them both home. This was the first double elimination in the show's history, and it's still a jaw-dropping moment to rewatch years later. How can you not slay a performance to Britney Spears' "Oops!... I Did It Again"?
Then, in Season 8, RuPaul did something similar. When she was not impressed with Dax ExclamationPoint and Laila McQueen's performance of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive," Ru sent both of the hopeful queens home, shocking the other contestants and audiences alike.
