As we've all seen there's this trend going on in un-rigging RuPaul's Drag Race in a way that we feel is more fair and I thought about jumping that train but I realised it's quite hard for me to be completely unbiased so I'm not going to pretend these versions will be any more fair but they will be far more to my liking and what I personally feel should have happened. I'll still try to be objective and not f**k someone over where it doesn't make sense just because I dislike them or give someone too much credit where they shouldn't get it but in the end this is probably going to be a bit subjective and biased but hopefully not too much and obviously not everyone is going to agree with my choices but I'm going to try and explain why I made each one as best I can.
How I've done this is by rewatching the challenges, giving each one a score out of 100 as well as predicting how the eliminated queens would have done in the challenges and runways. I've also looked at the eliminated queens runways for those who have revealed them. I've also made it so that the runway and some other things matter more but usually not that much. The first season I'm going to cover is my most recently finished one.. RuPaul's Drag Race UK 2

DRUK02, EPISODE 01 xxx "Royalty Returns" (January 14, 2021) xxx xxx xxx MAIN CHALLENGE / RUNWAY Serve up two runway looks, a Gay Icon inspired look and a Hometown look. HOW IT REALLY WENT xxx xxx TOPS OF THE WEEK xxx Asttina Mandella, Ellie Diamond, Lawrence Chaney xxx xxx BOTTOMS OF THE WEEK xxx (Sister Sister), Bimini Bon-Boulash, So I noticed that after this episode there was a lot of people who thought the judging here was off as Asttina shouldn't have won. I'm here to say that I disagree with that criticism. I think Asttina Mandella deserved to win and here's why: Her first look was absolutely gorgeous and she looked absolutely stunning (and easily won the Naomi-off) and her second look was very fitting and stylish (even if the jacket was off of ASOS or whatever). While neither of Asttina's looks were my top looks of the night they both got good scores from me and she wound up in first place thanks to that. In the top with her I put Lawrence Chaney and A'Whora. I feel like Lawrence had two great looks, especially her hometown look while A'Whora's take on Vivienne Westwood was my favourite out of the gay icon looks but her hometown look was a bit lacklustre in comparison. I dropped Ellie out of the top because while I loved her hometown look (my fav Ellie look tbh), I thought her gay icon look was just.. meh. To be fair I don't know who Lily Savage is as I'm not british but from the photos I find when I google her it seems she could have made far more iconic looks than this basic dress lol. Now, the bottom is where it gets interesting. Only one of the original low placing queens stick around in my version and that is poor Bimini whose two looks were both lacking and not at all comparable to some of her best runway outfits this season. Bimini is joined by Ginny Lemon who I'm honestly just stumped as to how she avoided it IRL. Admittedly Ginny's aesthetic is not something I enjoy but I don't understand how Ginny avoided the bottom while Joe winds up there lmao. The final bottom would be Tia Kofi for me. I liked her looks but they're both kind of basic. Her Alan Turing look is just a suit and chains, while her hometown look legit looks like something you'd buy in a costume store. Neither is necessarily bad but most of the others had more memorable looks. I don't think that Joe and Sister Sister deserved to be in the bottom like they did IRL. Joe's looks were actually both quite good and his hometown look was gorgeous. Sister's Dusty Springfield look was just okay although I feel like she looked quite a lot like her but I'm probably alone in saying that I absolutely loved her hometown look. I thought it looked good and it was quite funny so I definitely didn't want them in the bottom and instead I put them as safe. Now, out of the three I placed low (Bimini, Ginny and Tia) I would have made Bimini and Ginny lip sync for their lives. I personally think Bimini would crush it like she did against Joe Black. Ginny probably would have given up and possibly even given us her iconic walk-off right away too in this scenario because I don't think she'd have expected to place in the bottom right off the bat. So in my version of events Ginny Lemon is the first queen to be eliminated.  PROGRESS CHART:
