I really like Manila actually and the best part is she knows she is annoying and does not care what others think, I just love how self-aware she is.

I also like the other queens even if I wish Williams ego needed to be knocked down more.

16th Violet Chachki 8.63 (more 11s)

NON-MOVER
Season 7, Next Drag Superstar
Highest score: 11 (Addy, Theo, Haus, Rob)
Lowest score: -1 (Doug)

Without a doubt, Violet is THE runway queen. Virtually everything she wore on that stage was flawless, with so much thought put into it, I think the only one I wouldn’t say that about is her conjoined one with Max… The Death Becomes Her runway is quite possibly the best thing ever worn on the runway, and her Final Fantasy boss realness in the season 8 finale!!! (above gif) Violet never really had the comedy or acting prowess of say Ginger or Katya from her season, but we had that from those. Violet winning showed that drag could really have clout in the fashion world, and she was so forward thinking she really felt like the future of drag. Her journey was great to watch too, going from being quite cold and inwards to growing to appreciate the competition, the journey and her fellow queens, enjoying the experience as a whole rather than just getting sucked into winning and doing welll and nothing else.

15th Trinity Taylor 8.72

Season 9, robbed 3rd/4th joint
Highest score: 10 (Davidson, Joe, Liam, Leonardo, Harry, Simon, Martyn)
Lowest score: 6 (Doug, Josh)

Season 9 finally drops out with the highest non-winner or All Stars contestant plus the highest queen with no 11s or 12s ohmy.gif Trinity was superficially a pageant queen, but she showed that she was SO much more throughout the competition, winning the Draggily Ever After, 9021-Ho and makeover challenges. She was more versatile than we’re typically used to from drag queens, as she could look pretty and show some body (her looks often ingeniously combined these with actual LEWKS), but her 9021-Ho for example was absolutely hilarious and totally stole the show, and her confessionals were often hilarious (comedy wise, we’ll look past her awful roast because it looked like genius compared to Farrah and Alexis rotf.gif). She came across as so likeable, went on a bit of a journey and was just all round fab really - what’s not to love?

I don't know what I was thinking when giving Trinity a 6????? She literally took me on stage and sat on my face about 24 hours ago and therefore that score should be doubled ok x

My favorite trinity moment was the nun character in their pilot 'JUST PRAY DAMMIT!!!!'

Violet's two in one look and death becomes her look were two of the best outfits I have seen defo in my top 20 favorite runway looks.

Not only did she win 3 challenges but she actually deserved to win the pilots episode too, she was amazing as the nun and her club kid look was the best that week (along with Peppermint’s).

14th Raven 8.73 (no 12s)

arrow up.gif from 15
Season 2, 2nd and All Stars 1, 2nd
Highest score: 11 (Davidson, Lew)
Lowest score: 5.5 (Lindsey)

Fittingly the Fashion Photo Ruview bffs achieve the same average in this laugh.gif Raven just has *it* I feel, a defining style and look, a personality that just steals attention and fills a room, and a cutting way of dealing with things and getting to the point that I just love. She didn’t have an easy start on season 2, lipsyncing twice in the early weeks, but she slayed the Golden Gals makeover challenge and Once Upon A Queen, and many fans view her as being robbed as Tyra beat her in the finale. Raven might have been a bitch on Season 2, but for me that was a huge part of what made Season 2 a real step up, the true start of Drag Race as we know it with all its shade and drama

13th Raja 8.73 (one 12)

arrow down.gif from 9
Season 3, Next Drag Superstar
Highest score: 12 (Aled)
Lowest score: 6 (Lindsey)

Another winner falls as Season 3’s Raja is out next. The original runway queen, Raja most often brought high concept, high fashion drag that made her stand out from the crowd, winning the Xmas and Cake challenges as well giving a winning performance in the RuPaulapalooza challenge with a heavy metal version of Superstar - that and a pretty funny Tyra Banks in Snatch Game proved her versatility. I always kind of switch between whether I think Raja or Manila should have won but I can totally see why Raja did.

4th Season 4 8.97

Winner: Sharon Needles
Runners-up: Chad Michaels & Phi Phi O'Hara
Miss Congeniality: Latrice Royale
My personal fave: Sharon Needles

Season 4 is the start of the golden era imo, that being series 4 to 6. Season 4 had great challenges, a solid cast, and of course DRAMA. This was definitely a turning point for Drag Race, due to Sharon Needles winning and showing that something totally different could be what drag needs and what the show needed. Sharon's feud with Phi Phi is of course one of the defining arcs of the series, but we also got unintentional hilarity from Dida Ritz, polished professionalism from Chad Michaels and one of the most shocking eliminations ever as Willam became the first and so far only contestant to be disqualified.

3rd Season 6 9.70

Winner: Bianca Del Rio
Runners-up: Adore Delano & Courtney Act
Miss Congeniality: BenDeLaCreme
My personal fave: Bianca Del Rio

Season 6 is THE best season wub.gif It was the season that kicked off my obsession with the show, as I started watching when this season premiered and was instantly hooked. Right from the very start (the split premiere was SO good to get to know everyone as an initial impression), this was done perfectly and I never felt like there was any filler challenges or episodes. Adore and Bianca are two of my absolute faves too so for them both to make it to top 3 was flawless, not to mention Bianca being by FAR the best winner ever.

Raven I feel really sorry for I think she would have made such a good winner in all stars 1 and season 2.

Raja brought some of my favorite LOOKS ever on a runway like her xmas one in particular was STUNNING.

Violet not top 10 is sad to see sad.gif She provided so many gag worthy moments in season 7 and is one of the most worthy Next Drag Superstars.

Raven came across so salty on both her seasons, I appreciate her talent but her attitude was awful. The same for Raja, she was the leader of the 'Heathers' which put me off her and Manila towards the end of season 3.

Shocked that season 6 isn't even top 2! I expect All Stars 2 to win that now.

12th Adore Delano 8.92

arrow down.gif from 11
Season 6, runner-up and All Stars 2, 9th
Highest score: 12 (Lindsey, Josh)
Lowest score: 2 (Doug)

The lowest queen to get multiple 12s, the quintessential messy $l*t flounders not far before top 10. Adore is perhaps the biggest example of how far a personality can go and how much it matters. It’s not just a polished look or being able to shoot out jokes, there was always something that totally shone in Adore even when she totally messed it up. We saw her go on such a journey, from this messy unpolished queen to even winning a sewing challenge (as well as slaying rap and advertisements) which was perhaps her biggest obstacle. Her friendship with Bianca is one of my absolute faves too, Adore brought out the best in Bianca by chipping away at the stone exterior to reveal the biggest heart, and Bianca really brought out the best in Adore by raising her like a drag daughter and helping shape her into a fierce and rounded queen.

11th Jujubee 8.93

arrow down.gif from 10
Season 2, 3rd, All Stars 1, 3rd/4th
Highest score: 12 (Lew)
Lowest score: 5 (Lindsey)

She likes long walks on the beach, big dicks and fried chicken... It's Raven's bff and All Stars 1 partner Jujubee, just missing the top 10. Jujubee reached the final twice without winning a single challenge, but in all that time she never lost a lipsync either, proving herself as a fabulous performer. She has something so warm and likeable and hilarious about a lot of the things she does, something you always really want to root for. It’s a shame we don’t see her more on WOWPresents or something, but it’s always good to see fans appreciate her in these.

Surprised Jujubee managed as high as 11 - especially given some of the other Queens remaining.

Shame about Adore; but I guessed she may be next out as I doubt she is for everyone.

Strong top 10!

10th Tatianna 9.04 (less 11s)

arrow down.gif from 4
Season 2, 4th and All Stars 2, 6th
Highest score: 11 (Jack)
Lowest score: 1 (Josh)

As one of the breakout stars of All Stars 2, Tatianna maintains her top 10 placing here although she slips 6 places! She was very sweet on Season 2, often bearing the brunt of Raven’s frustration and bitchiness due to her perceived lower level of skill and polish. And to be honest, Tatianna wasn’t the most sickening or polished queen of the season, but there was certainly a real charm there and you wanted to root for her. Tatianna felt like a.... choice for All Stars 2, but after a spoken word MOMENT with The Same Parts and one of the best lipsyncs ever with Alyssa, she totally proved she deserved to be up there with the best on that season. She’s gearing up to release an album at the moment which will SLAY if it’s anything like The Same Parts.

Jujubee feels a lot higher than she should be. She definitely was one of the nicest queens on season 2 but her lack of wins both there and on All Stars was telling of her actual talent I think.

I took me a while to grow to like Adore on season 6 but she has such a loveable personality. One of my favourite 'growth' storylines.

Eek at that fall for Tatianna! 😕 I was pretty surprised to see her well regarded to be 4th last time though. I loved her on season 2 so was obviously going to love her on All Stars too. Just a shame she got sent home over Roxxxy (twice!)

9th Latrice Royale 9.04 (more 11s)

arrow down.gif from 5
Season 4, 4th and All Stars 1, 7th/8th
Highest score: 11 (Lukuzz, Leonardo)
Lowest score: 5 (Lindsey)

Holding strong and proving she’s got a grip girl on the top 10 (are my puns worthy of Trixie’s RuPaul Snatch Game impression yet? x), it’s Latrice! She was a huge presence literally and figuratively, entertaining us all with her talking head moments and winning Miss Congeniality for her knack of dealing with unprofessionalism and shenanigans in the most perfect way without ever being nasty or anything about it. She didn’t always slay challenges, but she won the Queens Behind Bars challenge and got a joint win with partner Willam in the Frenemies challenge, she just wasn’t always the best at showstopping looks that went to the next level. Her Natural Woman lipsync when dressed as an expectant mother is one of the best of all time I have to say, she showed you barely even have to move, let alone do stunts, to completely feel a song and embody all the emotion that a song should have.
