BuzzJack Music Forum _ Reality TV _ RESULTS: RuPaul's Drag Race: Queen Rate 2018

Posted by: Liаm Apr 11 2018, 12:44 AM

We had 24 votes, and we've got our 2018 winner ohmy.gif Will Katya hold onto her crown, or will an All Stars 3 star vault up and snatch it? Perhaps a Season 9 girl stole our hearts? Or did someone else grow on Buzzjack and take Katya's title?


112-100 coming maybe before I go to bed or tomorrow afternoon, to get them out the way so I'm on a round number to go in block of 5 or so x

Predict/hype away *.*

Posted by: Lindsey 🙃 Apr 11 2018, 02:32 PM

I think it will be between Katya and Alyssa again, tbh I really wouldn't mind Katya holding onto her crown as she is one of my faves, I would be hella disappointed if Alyssa won, she deserves to be top ten but she's not the best queen this show has seen imo

Adore is the one I'm really rooting for here, i know she won't win but I really hope she can come top ten, same for Bianca, Alaska and Trixie wub.gif

Posted by: ElectroBoy Apr 11 2018, 03:06 PM

I imagine Ben and Shangela are going to rise a fair bit given they slayed AS3; Ben in particular I can see taking a big climb.

This will probs be a bit tl;dr but it'll be batches of 5 after this tongue.gif

112nd Magnolia Crawford 1.15



Season 6, 13th/14th (joint)
Highest score: 4 (Simon)
Lowest score: -1 (ionderella, Davidson, Harry, Rob, Martyn)


Our wooden spoon this time is Season 6’s joint last place Magnolia Crawford. She immediately went down like a lead balloon on Season 6 due to her very odd contouring, which Bianca compared to a swordfish. She had a bit of an attitude, and promptly got booted for a pretty crap outfit. She has now retired from drag, but is very hot out of it, for the record. Magnolia scored the most -1s of anyone in this rate so it’s no surprise she is last with this pitiful average kink.gif

111th Penny Tration 1.76



Season 5, 14th
Highest score: 6 (ionderella, Joe)
Lowest score: -1 (Martyn, Aled, ElectroBoy)

Not faring much better is Season 5’s first boot and fan vote Penny. She was not great at constructing an outfit, didn’t come across as particularly likeable, and worst of all did the classic balls-up move in a lipsync by turning away from the judges because she didn’t know the words. Because Party In The USA is such a hard song to learn kink.gif I always wonder how on earth she won the fan vote? laugh.gif

110th Alisa Summers 2.15



Season 4, 12th
Highest score: 5 (ionderella, Doug)
Lowest score: -1 (Harry, Aled)

Another first boot, this time from Season 4. Alisa had a lot more confidence than her talent should have really afforded her, one of those who thinks she is the fishiest queens ever and would fool any straight guy into wanting her. She couldn’t really construct an outfit (notice a theme here?) and was annihilated by Jiggly’s performance sklils in the lipsync.

109th Venus D-Lite 2.70



Season 3, 13th
Highest score: 6 (Joe)
Lowest score -1 (Aled)

Comeback kid Shangela sent Venus home after the latter came across as wholly unprofessional in the lipsync by doing the most to push, block and put off Shangela, but it didn’t work as Venus was promptly booted. Post show, Venus’ career clearly went from strength to strength as she appeared on My Strange Addiction as being addicted to “being Madonna”.

108th Serena ChaCha 2.39



Season 5, 13th
Highest score: 6 (Addy, Jack)
Lowest score: -1 (Adam)

Not finishing much higher than Penny, Serena only lasted a week longer. She has become a bit of a target of piss-taking in the fanbase due to the attitude that going to art school made her a “drag scholar” who was into “fine art drag” and the medium of “soft sculpture”. In reality her outfits came out as basic and unfinished, for example showing her granny pants in week 2 where she was eliminated. Everyone vs. Serena on Untucked tho when she attacked “ghetto vernacular” *.*

107th Phoenix 2.80



Season 3, 12th
Highest score: 7 (Joe)
Lowest score: 0 (Theo, Aled, Leo, Lew, Martyn)

A rather shy and reserved queen, Phoenix was eliminated second following a weak and reserved performance, and a quite limp performance of Bad Romance in the lipsync. There really isn’t a huge amount to say, one of the most forgettable queens arguably.

106th Dax ExclamationPoint 2.96



Season 8, 11th/12th (joint)
Highest score: 7 (ionderella)
Lowest score: 0 (Josh, Leo, Harry)

The drag mother of previous winner Violet Chachki, it’s probably a bit embarrassing that Dax lasted a mere two weeks, a victim of the second double sashay in Drag Race herstory alongside Laila McQueen. There was something there with Dax’s aesthetic, certainly, but her attitude was a no and she faded away in the first performance task.

105th Sasha Belle 3.15



Season 7, 13th
Highest score: 7 (ionderella)
Lowest score: 0 (Josh, Leo, Harry)

Sasha feels like she could have done better a season or two later, if you look at her now. She was probably a bit out of her depth, despite acting like she had the whole season in the bag, and was sent home by eventual Miss Congeniality Katya.

104th Vivienne Pinay 3.41



Season 5, 10th/11th (joint)
Highest score: 7 (Addy)
Lowest score: 0 (Harry)

A pretty basic queen, Vivienne thought that being a pretty face was enough and pretty much came out each week with a basic “Hollywood glamour” type dress and a nice smile. That was enough to see home the absolute worst of the bunch, but Vivienne didn’t last much longer in the first double sashay ever, after a very disappointing lipsync to a potentially brilliant lipsync song in Oops I Did It Again with Honey Mahogany.

103rd Kelly Mantle 3.52


Season 6, 13th/14th (joint)
Highest score: 9 (Pavel)
Lowest score: 0 (Harry)

The other half of Season 6’s joint first boot (due to the split episodes), Kelly Mantle finishes a bit better than Magnolia although not much. I think that was something more to her than a lot of first eliminees, but her fate was sealed with a basic “flower” dress that actually looked like bacon, supposedly inspired by Downtown Abbey. In hindsight, it would have been nice if she outlasted Vivacious as she potentially had a lot to give.

102nd Tempest DuJour 3.62


Season 7, 14th
Highest score: 9 (Lew)
Lowest score: 0 (Harry, Theo, Doug)

Another first boot, and like Kelly I feel she maybe had more to give. I remember fans were a bit put out that a potentially great comic campy queen was first out just because it’s always a design challenge first, but naturally getting a look down is important with any queen.

101st Mimi Imfurst 3.74



Season 3, 11th
Highest score: 7 (Joe, ionderella, Leonardo)
Lowest score: -1 (ElectroBoy, Theo)

Last out before the top 100 is Mimi, arguably one of the most dramatic queens of all time. I think her legacy is more Untucked than main show, in the main show she was a bit whiny and OTT (despite having two highs in the first two weeks), befitting of her theatrical background. In Untucked she was involved in the iconic sugar daddy argument with Shangela, and she gave us pretty much the one stand out moment of AS1 with yet another fight in the first Untucked (she was really only cast there for drama surely).

Posted by: ElectroBoy Apr 11 2018, 06:30 PM

I was tempted to give Magnolia a high mark just due to her nose contouring... but she wasn't a great queen, i'd say there were worse though but you can't argue that much with those first results

Posted by: Addyland Apr 11 2018, 06:46 PM

I think Mimi Imfurst deserves top 100 just based on her drag name laugh.gif

Vivienne Pinay also deserved top 100, like 99th or something lol.

These first outs are pretty unsurprising. Except for Serena. That's a joke, especially Serena.

Mimi is the only one whose legend status means they deserved higher.

If it is too much work, no problem, but any chance of seeing their previous position for comparisons sake?

100th Rebecca Glasscock 3.81


(not as flattering as other pics but I'm HOWLING)

arrow down.gif from 88
Season 1, 3rd place
Highest score: 7 (ElectroBoy)
Lowest score: -1 (Leonardo)

By quite some way the lowest finalist in this countdown, Rebecca is remembered by fans as the most undeserving finalist in Drag Race herstory. She was a bit abrasive and standoffish, winning one challenge but it was arguably the most unfair/default win possible, as her basic aesthetic was naturally much easier to transpose than that of frontrunners Bebe and Ongina. She also pretty much just made the top 3 because Shannel told RuPaul she wanted to go home prior to the lipsync :’) Even when you look at finalists I personally really dislike (ie Tyra and Bebe), there was a level of talent that no personality could undo, but then you think of Rebecca you just think basic af and then she was also pretty awful personality wise!

99th Nicole Paige Brooks FROM ATLANTA, GEORGIA!!! 3.82



arrow down.gif from 65
Season 2, 11th place
Highest score: 6 (ionderella)
Lowest score: 1 (Josh)

The second eliminee from season 2 was certainly one of the biggest and loudest presences in her brief stay, being the target of Raven’s bitchy remarks and wanting desperately to do well for her son. She has since become somewhat of an ironic object of stanning from the fanbase, with injustices sometimes being marked by “Nicole Paige Brooks didn’t die for this” laugh.gif Her fall in this is a bit drastic oops.

98th The Princess 3.85



arrow down.gif from 76
Season 4, 10th
Highest score: 7 (ionderella)
Lowest score: 0 (Josh)

A quiet and reserved character, The Princess never really took off in the show. In a show like this, you can get easily left behind being so muted, and that’s what happened here really. In a campy all out challenge like Wrestling’s Trashiest Fighters, being that way is possibly worse than going for it and f***ing it up. She was also pretty much a background extra in possibly the best lipsync performance of all time of (This Will Be) An Everlasting Love by Dida Ritz which sealed her fate.

97th Honey Mahogany 3.89



arrow down.gif from 87
Season 5, 10th/11th (joint)
Highest score: 7 (ionderella)
Lowest score: -1 (Harry)

The other half of season 5’s double sashay, Honey’s looks started off ok but she never really took off in the show. She was bottom 2 due to a misguided caftan in week 4 and of course got eliminated. She came across to me as one of those who seemed to think she was much more unique and much better than she really was, Detox put it best in comparing her entrance look to a less polished RuPaul poster laugh.gif

96th Akashia 3.92



arrow down.gif from 82
Season 1, 7th place
Highest score: 6 (Joe, Simon, RobBob)
Lowest score: 2 (Lukuzz)

Closing this batch is the queen of default lipsync survival *_* Porkchop forgot the words and Tammie gave up and just swayed, then Shannel knocked her out on her third lipsync. Akashia was quite shady and bitchy for her time on the show, thus quite hard to warm to and root for.

Her make up is also very similar to Trixie I would say.

No big losses so far.

Posted by: Berrier Cody Apr 12 2018, 01:40 AM

I remember there being an X Factor US episode where Honey Mahogany auditioned (I think it was her?), it was pretty hilarious.

Posted by: ElectroBoy Apr 12 2018, 07:30 AM

I recently watched Series 1 prior to voting and Akashia should be lowest of series 1 - she was horrible.

Rebecca may not have been a worthy finalist but I think she should be slightly higher.


Posted by: Liаm Apr 12 2018, 07:15 PM

95th Monica Beverley Hillz 3.98

arrow down.gif from 73
Highest score: 7 (ionderella)
Lowest score: 2 (Josh)

In one of the most quintessentailly dramatic Drag Race moments, Monica is best known for breaking down and coming out as transgender during the second episode, conveniently during the judges’ critiques when she hadn’t done well, but it did explain why her head wasn’t in the game 100%. Style wise, she was pretty basic banjie girl, and I don’t think she would have done that well even without the trans thing playing on her mind, but who knows? Idk why she fell quite so drastically this time laugh.gif

94th Charlie Hides 4.02

NEW
Highest score: 7.5 (Lukuzz)
Lowest score: -1 (Martyn)

The lowest of the Season 9 girls, Charlie is the first new entry. On Youtube she is HILARIOUS with her impersonations but none of that really got shown on the season. As the oldest queen ever to compete (at 53 years old), she had a wealth of experience and came across as very put together. But after falling in the bottom 2 of season 9, she pretty much refused to lipsync properly “because I sing live”. She did have a rib injury and said she didn’t say anything to avoid being sent home, but that doesn’t check out given she just eliminated herself by pretty much standing there while Trinity gave us life doing THE MOST in the same lipsync… It came across as petty and bratty and disrespectful to the show, as if lipsyncing was beneath her.

93rd Mystique Summers Madison 4.03

arrow down.gif from 77
Highest score: 8 (Lukuzz)
Lowest score: 1 (Aled)

Quite a fall from the queen of Chicago x “BITCH I AM FROM CHICAGO” during her fight with Raven on Untucked is about the most memorable thing she uttered. She was as proud of her hometown as she was her weight, being season 2’s proud big girl. Her looks were pretty basic, particularly her country one that apparently “real country girls” actually wore, and that was her undoing.

92nd Sonique 4.07

arrow down.gif from 83
Highest score: 7 (Joe)
Lowest score: 2 (Martyn, ElectroBoy)

Another season 2 girl falls out, this time Sonique. She fell victim to the first ever Snatch Game, giving a bland and lifeless performance and being sent home over Morgan despite both being good performers in the lipsync. During that season’s reunion she was the first contestant to come out as transgender. Other than that I couldn’t really tell you much about her, she seemed enough but there just wasn’t much of a spark.

91st Kimora Blacc 4.20

NEW
Highest score: 8.5 (Callum)
Lowest score: 1 (Martyn, Josh)

The second season 9 to bow out is the second eliminee from that season. I always thought Kimora probably should have been first out, she was quite lucky that the first episode was a non-elimination and Jaymes had more to give, but hey. Kimora was one of those basic queens who thinks you just need to be skinny and have an ass, but with two sewing challenges early on in Oh My Gaga and Draggily Ever After, there was little chance for someone who liked to get barely there costumes designed for her.

Posted by: LexC Apr 12 2018, 07:32 PM

Mystique was actually fighting with Morgan in Season 2 I believe. My favorite moment of hers is in the reunion where she tries to blame her poor performance on the fact that she was worried about her family being kidnapped by Mexican drug barons without a hint of irony.

Posted by: Liаm Apr 12 2018, 07:36 PM

Omg I forgot that LMAOOOO, Monica being transgender as a reason for why she flopped could never.

Posted by: Joe. Apr 12 2018, 08:20 PM

Jaymes DID have more to give Liam. I mean, she would have been out quite soon anyway due to confidence issues but I think she actually did better in the Love Shack lip sync than Kimora anyway.

Posted by: Addyland Apr 12 2018, 08:45 PM

I actually like Kimora Blacc, but yeah she is more IG good type of drag than in drag race tv show!!!

Posted by: Oliver Apr 12 2018, 09:02 PM

No way did Charlie deserve to be bottom of the season 9 girls. I assume my score of 9 or 10 would have bumped her up quite a bit! laugh.gif

Posted by: Berrier Cody Apr 13 2018, 01:55 PM

lowest new entry

might as well be last place. I mean the first cardinal rule of the Lip Sync is “don’t f*ck it up”

Posted by: Liаm Apr 13 2018, 04:52 PM

90th Kandy Ho 4.22

arrow down.gif from 72
Season 7, 10th
Highest score: 6 (Addy, Lukuzz, Doug, Theo, nickthenoodle, Martyn)
Lowest score: 0 (Harry)

Season 7’s queen of resting on pretty, Kandy managed to cruise to week 6 after surviving the first lipsync. She is probably one of the more forgettable/average season 7 queens, but is currently competing on Chile’s version of Drag Race.

89th Madame LaQueer 4.26
arrow up.gif from 92

Season 4, 9th
Highest score: 8 (Leonardo)
Lowest score: 0 (Davidson)

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.gif x Madame was somewhat a victim of language barrier, winning one challenge (Wrestling’s Trashiest Fighters) but coming unstuck in a bizarre performance of a supposedly British part in Queens Behind Bars. She was nice enough, but being a campy comedy queen if she was that bad in an acting challenge, idk what else she would have really brought if she lasted much longer.

88th Eliminaysha Lopez 4.30

arrow down.gif from 74
Season 8, 9th
Highest score: 6 (ionderella, Callum, Lew)
Lowest score: 1 (Josh)

Season 8’s technical first eliminee, Naysha was of course brought back after *that* double elimination, so really came 9th. She was beautiful and a nice enough person, but it was kinda inexcusable that she had been trying out for Drag Race since Season 1, finally got on, and didn’t know to how sew… Ok fair enough not everyone who goes on is a sewing master, but if you’ve tried out so many times how do you not at least try and do SOME FORM of sewing and get better at it? :/

87th Milan 4.37 (lower "highest score")

arrow up.gif from 94
Season 4, 8th
Highest score: 7 (Theo, ionderella)
Lowest score: -1 (Simon)

Season 4’s supposedly artsy overwrought queen Milan is out next. Milan was very much a fan of claiming every challenge was “not her challenge”, and thought that her drag was a few rungs up the ladder than it really was, she had to be a “drag artist” instead of a drag queen and didn’t want to be pigeonholed or seen as one type of thing. And that’s fine, but I still can’t think anything on the show that *was* her thing so it came across as excuses for her not being that great.

86th Delta Work 4.37 (higher "highest score")

NON-MOVER
Season 3, 7th
Highest score: 7.5 (Lukuzz)
Lowest score: -1 (Davidson, Simon)

Rounding off this batch is one of the two big girls of season 3, Heathers member Delta. Her air of arrogance was not really backed up by any discernible talent, she wasn’t terrible but pretty much coasted through the competition, and like Carmen, but unlike Raja and Manila, she came across as arrogant instead of confident and assured, and nasty/bitchy instead of shady. Slaying that consistency here tho x

Posted by: HarryEzra Apr 13 2018, 05:07 PM

The best thing about Kandy Ho was her line in the Ru Hollywood stories 'Mother does not play' laugh.gif

Posted by: Addyland Apr 13 2018, 06:15 PM

Not so familiar with Madame Laqueer.

Kandy Ho even though she didn't prove she's a fierce, she's still kinda memorable, at least for me...Maybe I would put her little bit higher than just #90!

I literally don't remember much about Naysha so i guess her placement makes sense lol.

Milan always looked very boy-ish iirc.

Posted by: Liаm Apr 13 2018, 07:41 PM

85th Lil’ Kenya Michaels 4.42

arrow down.gif from 84
Season 4, 5th
Highest score: 9 (Josh)
Lowest score: -1 (Davidson)

Kenya was first eliminated after what has to be one of the absolute worst Snatch Games ever, as many as there have been that were totally dull or wasted, Kenya was an absolute embarrassment to Beyonce by making noise, going OTT and making bizarre jokes about drugs, farting and falling asleep… Of course Kenya was a victim of the language barrier but I don’t understand how she so often got the tone and feel of things wrong, for example doing THE MOST in the way of stunts during a Natural Woman lipsync rotf.gif Aside from that, she was sweet enough and pretty, just not that great.

84th Victoria “Porkchop” Parker 4.47

arrow down.gif from 64
Season 1, 9th
Highest score: 8 (Joe)
Lowest score: 1 (Jack)

A hefty fall for the first ever eliminee. Porkchop gets frequet mentions in later seasons, with an oddly special place in the heart of the show and its fans. Despite being likeable enough, Porkchop was clearly out of her depth even on the most basic season, with her Drag On A Dime outfit being a total trainwreck of an eyesore, and her fate was sealed against Akashia when she stumbled during RuPaul's breakout hit Supdermodel.

83rd Acid Betty 4.48

arrow down.gif from 62
Season 8, 8th place
Highest score: 7.5 (RobBob)
Lowest score: -1 (Theo, Josh)

Season 8’s token villain, Acid Betty takes a pretty hefty fall. There was definitely a lot of talent there, particularly in her designs, but an absolutely horrid personality totally marred it. She certainly had points in that drag shouldn’t be all the same, but there was no way that the way she put it across was needed. She argued with basically everyone and was never happy unless she was trying to sabotage others like a Poundland Phi Phi O’Hara. It’s a shame to waste all that talent though, Betty could be a good “random” kind of pick for an All Stars?

82nd Jade Jolie 4.5

arrow up.gif from 92
Season 5, 9th
Highest score: 8 (Joe)
Lowest score: -1 (Jack)

One of the bitches of season 5, Jade Jolie initially tried to come across as sweet and nice and pretty, but came across as a total c*** at times. She was pretty enough, but ultimately quite basic, yet seemed to think she was so far above other queens such as Alyssa, who she infamously fought with on Untucked. Ik this is kinda awful to say but there is something so slappable about her face as well, she just comes across as such a bitch nearly all the time.

81st India Ferrah 4.54

arrow down.gif from 78
Season 3, 10th
Highest score: 7.5 (ElectroBoy)
Lowest score: 1.5 (Aled)

Honestly struggling to write anything memorable about India, about the most memorable thing was her being picked up by Mimi Imfurst in the lipsync during a burst of unprofessionalism (which I did forget to mention in Mimi’s comment!) laugh.gif Her make-up skills were great, but the looks as a whole never really caught up, not to mention her comedy or acting, and she was an early boot over Stacy Layne Matthews after the QNN challenge.

Posted by: HausofTroye Apr 13 2018, 08:11 PM

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW *.*

Ok my rewatch I kind of warmed to Milan and Kenya.

Kandy Ho delete - I disagreed with so many of the elims on S7 and the first ep really set that tone. So wrong.

Season 9, 14th

Another season 9 girl drops out, this time the first eliminee. Jaymes had severe confidence issues, but like I said with Charlie there is so much potential having seen her Youtube, and Ru also noted that Jaymes had one of the funniest auditions ever. It’s such a shame to think of what a contender Jaymes might have been in say a better headspace, or having waited a couple of years. RuDemption season is calling tbh.

79th LaShauwn Beyond 4.67

Season 4, 11th
arrow down.gif from 68
Highest score: 7 (Davidson)
Lowest score: 3 (Doug, Haus)

If it wasn’t for a certain iconic line, LaShauwn would arguably be almost totally forgotten. But that fateful Untucked line as “THIS IS NOT RUPAUL’S BEST FRIEND RACE”, she has a legacy. LaShauwn actually started quite well in the apocalypse challenge, but episode 2 totally saw her just flounder and become almost invisible with a muted personality, not possessing the charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent that is needed for the next drag superstar.

78th Laila McQueen 4.74

Season 8, 11th/12th (joint)
arrow down.gif from 60
Highest score: 8 (ionderella)
Lowest score: 0 (Harry)

LAILA OUT OF DRAG THO *drool emoji/heart eye emoji*. Chi Chi was right when she was thristing as “such a top” tbh. There is something about Laila as a queen, a slight Adore Delano vibe that there is such likeability and potential, but it never got shown on this season as Laila was bottom 2 twice, eliminated the second. She seemed a bit out of her depth and perhaps could have done with waiting a couple of years to be on the show.

77th Tyra Sanchez 4.95

arrow down.gif from 57
Season 2, Next Drag Superstar
Highest score: 9 (ElectroBoy)
Lowest score: -1 (ionderella, Liam)

Taking a tumble from last year is the 2nd ever winner, Tyra Sanchez. On the series, Tyra was hardly Miss Congeniality, but her sense of style couldn’t be denied and she tended to slay runways, although she had an awful atttiude that some put down to age. However since the show, her absolutely hideous personality has had fans calling for her title to be stripped, as she has made vile comments about suicide and has most recently been banned from DragCon for threatening Tatianna and Phi Phi with physical violence. Lovely. No amount of talent for me can outstrip such a vile personality which explains my -1 quite concisely tongue.gif

76th Carmen Carrera 5.02 (no 10s, same 9s, less 8s)

arrow down.gif from 67
Season 3, 5th
Highest score: 9 (Addy)
Lowest score: 0 (Harry)

My 3 was probably quite generous, it was mainly for the comedy challenge laugh.gif Fans say Rebecca is the most undeserving finalist; Carmen must be the most undeserved main season top 5? Especially as she pointlessly got brought back to be eliminated the same episodes, setting up a bit of a trope within Drag Race. Even leaving aside her bitchy, unlikeable personality and hypocrisy over the tranny controversy (she was fine to bop along to Tranny Chaser during her season when it benefited her), she was low in over half the challenges she was in, scraped safe for others, and only really impressed in the comedy challenge. She has the lowest Dusted or Busted score alongside Roxxy from AS2 I believe. Her looks were very basic, being one of those queens who thinks having an ass is all It takes, just really not my type of queen. I also found it kind of odd Michelle seemed to love her so much when she is always the first one to critique a queen for resting on pretty laugh.gif

Posted by: LexC Apr 15 2018, 11:32 PM

Fave fact about Tyra is that her post show career consists of a job at the Amazon packing warehouse. FLUSH!



Posted by: Liаm Apr 15 2018, 11:34 PM

Omg I forgot to add that in, wrote it before Tatianna tweeted that laugh.gif Amazing. Just goes to show how much personality matters in something like this, you can't just be pretty, and no amount of pretty/sense of style can combat being as vile as Tyra.

I don't know why but there is something that I really adore about Carmen Carrera sad.gif

Posted by: ElectroBoy Apr 16 2018, 07:22 AM

I been re-watching the earlier series from just before the vote opened til now... the 9 I have to Tyra would be revised downwards now.

I remember her just being a bit of a fierce queen on the show when I first watched it... but really she was just aggressive and barring runway looks never really excelled in other areas. Add to that her behaviour post show as well and just not a nice Queen.


Posted by: Selena GoHome Apr 16 2018, 07:58 AM

tyra was great on her season but everything since has just snowballed into something awful - she's still great at being a queen but jesus christ. she needs some self-awareness! she makes the reception towards her a race issue but she doesn't realise that she can be held accountable for her actions too.

Posted by: HarryEzra Apr 16 2018, 08:50 AM

I gave Tyra a 4 purely based on her looks on the season I mean her country look was amazing but gosh I hate her personality. Even more since being off the show.

75th Derrick Barry 5.02 (actually meant to be below Carmen in a tie, but I didn't realise and it's 75th place who cares oops idk why I'm even breaking ties this low lmao)


arrow down.gif from 70
Season 8, 5th
Highest score: 8 (Josh, Theo)
Lowest score: -1 (ElectroBoy)

Once Acid Betty went, Derrick was about as close to a villain as season 8 possessed, so there was that. Derrick is a Britney impersonator, who gets a bit of a hard time from the fans, she doesn’t have the most likeable or warming personality. She never felt as polished as the others, but spent her entire time in the contest bar the Bitch Perfect challenge either high or low, with one win and two bottom 2s. Her “rivalry” with Bob cropped up as a significant storyline for her, but apparently producers pretty much pushed and fabricated that for drama as the queens were all getting along too well in season 8.

74th Santee Ally Fontaine 5.04

arrow down.gif 51
Season 8 and 9, 10th both times
Highest score: 10 (Josh)
Lowest score: 0 (Leonardo)

Continuing her tumbling down year on year, Season 8’s Miss Congeniality Cynthia (the lowest Miss Congeniality on this list) scrapes top 75. She and Ivy always stick out among Miss Congeniality winners, although I do appreciate her staying sunny and bright always through her cancer struggle, she was never not sweet, lovely and posiitve. I suppose it was lovely for her to have a second chance where she wasn’t ill, but she just wasn’t a very good queen looks wise or in challenges, I found really annoying on season 9 actually and she might have been better off not even coming back as she just came 10th again anyway laugh.gif

73rd Jade 5.11

arrow down.gif from 66
Season 1, 6th
Highest score: 7 (Lew, Leonardo)
Lowest score: 3.5 (nickthenoodle, Martyn)

She might not be a huge fan fave but before even Ongina, Jade was the original controversial elimination as many felt Jade should outlasted Rebecca Glascock who she fueded with, labelling her the “fakest bitch I’ve ever met”. Jade was nice enough, but as with many season 1 girls was a bit basic.

72nd Alexis Michelle 5.15 (no 10s)

NEW ENTRY
Season 9, 5th
Highest score: 8 (Theo)
Lowest score: 0 (Jack)

Another season 9 girl down, this time the 5th placer Alexis Michelle. She had two of the absolute highlights of her season with her Kris Jenner performance in the Rusical challenge and her Snatch Game winning Liza Minnelli, but her overall attitude was very off putting. She always came across as arrogant and btichy without the talent overall to back it up, and had some truly awful moments, not least her horrific green look and horrendous performance in the Michelle Visage Roast.

71st Milk 5.15 (one 10)

arrow down.gif from 36
Season 6 and All Stars 3, 9th both times
Highest score: 10 (ElectroBoy)
Lowest score: -1 (Haus)

The biggest fall in this entire countdown behind Nicole Paige Brooks comes from All Stars 3’s villain Milk. The delusion was unreal, and fans also became impatient for her to be eliminated after somehow avoiding bottom 3 with awful performances in the talent show and Divas Live challenges. On Season 6, her drag was odd but somewhat endearing and something different, although there was certainly not enough to back up how she was on AS3, never realising that in every challenge she was barely even middle of the pack at best. At least he’s hot as a boy.

Posted by: Davidson Apr 17 2018, 10:35 AM

Lol at that big fall for Milk laugh.gif

I know that he was annoying as f*** on All Stars 3 but I don't think he deserved quite that big a fall. I'm sure there will be less talented queens that make it in front of Milk.

Posted by: maddyna! Apr 17 2018, 11:37 AM

Oh hi Britney lol.

Alexis Michelle debut seems about right place for her. And lmao at Milk fall, AS 3 did some real damage to her profile for sure.

And Cucu lol, she is so innocent but her drag is so stupid at the same time.

Posted by: HausofTroye Apr 17 2018, 12:06 PM

I absolutely LOVE Cucu, far too low for her sad.gif

Milk lmao, bye x

Posted by: ElectroBoy Apr 17 2018, 01:01 PM

That fall for Milk is a little OTT. By the end of Allstars 3 my feelings did change, however I think overall she was a great Queen in Series 6 and in general so based my 10 on that.

Derrick - least deserving top 5 Queen ever

Posted by: Liаm Apr 17 2018, 01:09 PM

70th Robbie Turnt-er 5.17

NON-MOVER
Season 8, 6th
Highest score: 9 (Leonardo)
Lowest score: 2 (Addy)

Season 8’s self described “nicest queen you’ll ever meet” Robbie bows out, but stays consistent from last year. I never particularly took to her personally, I don’t know what it was but she didn’t come across as nice as she liked to be for me and never really impressed me. She had quite a unique vintage style, and a sense of humour and sassy sharp way about her that was amusing at times. Robbie was also in a car crash very recently, one that killed his driver sad.gif

69th Shannel 5.40

arrow down.gif from 57
Season 1 and All Stars 1, 4th both times
Highest score: 8 (Leonardo, Lew)
Lowest score: 2 (Jack)

Finishing in 4th both times, Shannel pretty much self-eliminated first time by saying she should go home when Ru asked, and the second time she was carried by Chad (a long friend of hers, so naturally they went for each other in the pairing twist). Shannel was ok I guess but there’s no way she would or should have outlasted Latrice, Manila, Alexis, Yara, Nina or Pandora in AS1… Her arrogance was far greater than the talent she had to back it up as well.

68th Vivacious (and Ornacia) 5.42

arrow up.gif from 69
Season 6, 12th
Highest score: 8 (Lew, ionderella)
Lowest score: 3 (Liam, Doug, ElectroBoy, Martyn)

MOTHER HAS… dropped out. Forever remembered for being worn by the fabulous Ornacia, Vivacious stays relatively stable in this. As a club kid through and through, Vivacious never took off on the show and stuck out like a sore thumb a bit, come across as oddly styled rather than different or stand out, but perhaps just not my type of drag rather than awful.

67th Jaidynn Diore Fierce 5.52

arrow down.gif from 52
Season 7, 8th
Highest score: 7 (ionderella, Lukuzz, Adam)
Lowest score: 3 (Theo)

Jaidynn was nice enough, but certainly out of her depth. Jaidynn never stood out much, and lipsynced a total of 3 times in a row before finally yielding to eventual finalist Ginger. Her style was ok at best, she never really pulled off funny, but was always very likeable, so there’s that. Sometimes you need “likeable but not great” among the fierce contenders.

66th Sahara Davenport 5.61 (no 9s)

arrow down.gif from 63
Season 2, 8th
Highest score: 7 (ionderella, Joe)
Lowest score: 4 (Jack, Josh)

The first deceased contesant of the show’s herstory, Sahara sadly passed away in 2012. Prior to her long-term partner Manila Luzon’s participatin a year later, she was a low-key personality on season 2, keeping to herself mostly but being kind and considerate to others. In a drama filled season, you had to respect Sahara for staying true to herself and keeping out of it all really.

Posted by: maddyna! Apr 17 2018, 01:41 PM

Yes Vivacious wub.gif

She lasted only 2 episodes but so memorable.

Posted by: ElectroBoy Apr 17 2018, 01:51 PM

Jaidynn stayed way way too long especially when she ousted Max who had to that point shown herself to be much better overall.

Posted by: HarryEzra Apr 17 2018, 02:19 PM

Jaidyn was funny in the confessionals but what she failed to do was bring that same charisma and humor to the rest of the show.

Channel is nice enough but gosh I will forever be upset with how All stars 1 went down a car crash/mess of a show sad.gif

Vivacious and Sahara too <3 both lovely people. Vivacious actually did give one iconic confessional moment:



Robbie eh I didn't feel much for her. Didn't help she gave us a dickish first impression in that pose with the winner's challenge. Just never properly warmed to her. She had some great looks though.

Posted by: Berrier Cody Apr 17 2018, 10:55 PM

Safe to say All Stars 3 spoiled Milk?

Posted by: maddyna! Apr 17 2018, 11:55 PM

Vivaciuos deserves her placing just based on her runway walk laugh.gif


Posted by: Adam Apr 18 2018, 05:38 AM

Aw, Cucu <3
Alexis to be fair is a better queen than she is ever given credit for. I think if people just saw her looks and not her personality she'd be better liked.
Shannel is the same but also her personality was SO grating I can't forgive her for it ha.

Posted by: Liаm Apr 18 2018, 09:53 PM

65th Lineysha Sparx 5.61 (one 9)

arrow down.gif from 56
Season 5, 9th
Highest score: 9 (Joe)
Lowest score: 3 (Doug)

A huge victim of the language barrier, her English was no very good looking </3 Lineysha’s often brillaint runways (I feel like she should have won week 1 of season 5, to think she could have won the first two challenges but come 9th!) make me wonder what could’ve been. Her win came in the spoken word lipsync where she hilariously evoked Tyra Sanchez, channeling Tyra’s hatred for Tatianna. Lineysha failed to hit the mark and make her Snatch Game funny; her Celia Cruz came out as one of the worst ever. It’s a shame to think that maybe a couple of years more learning English and being on the show could’ve seen her do so much more.

64th Darienne Lake 5.68

arrow down.gif from 61
Season 6, 4th
Highest score: 9 (Lew)
Lowest score: -1 (Josh)

A queen who gets her fair share of vitriol from the fandom is season 6’s big girl Darienne. I can see where it comes from, because Darienne does have an arrogance about her and she seemed to always be putting others down for not being on her level, even when they had won challenges over her or placed higher in them than her. But damn could she perform; her lipsync even sent home fan fave BenDeLaCreme in one of the most controversial eliminations in Drag Race herstory. Of course, that did no favours for Darienne with the fans kink.gif

63rd Coco Montrese 5.75


arrow down.gif from 46
Season 5, 5th
Highest score: 10 (Leonardo)
Lowest score: -1 (Liam)

Another of my -1s bows out in Season 5’s 4th alternate Coco Montrese. Admittedly one hell of a lipsync assassin, Coco was bottom 2 four times and sent home Monica, Jade Jolie and Alyssa, but finally sucumbing to Detox. Much of her time on the season was dominated by an old rivalry with Alyssa, and whilst I am not the biggest fan of Alyssa Coco came across as so nasty and bitter towards her and so unlikeable in the way she dealt with the fued. She was easily AS2’s weak link too. The Alyssa feud was bloody good TV which contributed to Season 5 being part of the golden era, I just really cannot stand her laugh.gif She was actually the lowest person to get a 10 ohmy.gif

62nd Jasmine Masters 5.91

arrow up.gif from 91
Season 7, 12th
Highest score: 9 (ionderella, Josh, Joe)
Lowest score: 0.5 (Electroboy)

She’s vaulting up nearly 30 places, the largest climb here, I’m sure she’d have “something to say” about that *.* Jasmine was a total mess on season 7, remembered on the show for the worst of an awful group’s performance in Shakesqueer and always slagging off the other girls in confessional. As for style… well it says it all she was originally meant to be on season 1. The appeal of Jasmine is her meme-ability, as she has many hilarious (probably unintentionally, most of the time) moments on social media and her Youtube. She’s perhaps best known for saying Drag Race has “f***ed up drag”, which some fans do agree with however badly she put it across. And hey, you’re gonna be bitter about the show, why not be funny about it? laugh.gif

61st April Carrion 6.02 (same 10s, less 9s)

arrow down.gif from 44
Season 6, 11th
Highest score: 10 (ionderella, ElectroBoy)
Lowest score: 3 (Josh, Doug)

An impressive showing for such an early boot without the meme power of Jasmine Masters ohmy.gif April didn’t have a long run on the show, but she will always be remembered for the absolutely stunning April Showers look wub.gif You can’t help but think what other brilliant runway creations she might have conjured up had she lasted longer.

Posted by: ElectroBoy Apr 18 2018, 09:56 PM

Adam Lambert so wanted April.

I actually hope they do an Allstars featuring mainly early boot queens as I think April had a lot more to give - its a shame she had two dud challenges in a row.

Posted by: L'Addy! Apr 18 2018, 10:43 PM

Yeah I think Coco should have been at least top 50! However her performance on All stars 3 was dire. Also love a bit of Darienne and Jasmine.

60th Laganja Estranja 6.02 (same 10s, more 9s)

arrow down.gif from 44
Season 6, 8th
Highest score: 10 (Joe, Simon)
Lowest score: -1 (ionderella, nickthenoodle)

Both finishing in a tie (this time broken) again as last time, you can’t separate these season 6 queens kink.gif Both are also the lowest to score multiple 10s! Laganja is probably one of the most divisive queens due to her very over the top personality, but she did bring the entertainment (or have you reaching for the mute button, you decide x). She was constantly in arguments and dramas on Untucked for being fake, putting her ok “OKURRRR MISS THING MISS HUNTY” attitude and voice, even by her close friend Adore Delano who noted she was very different on camera to off it. I always felt something was there in Laganja, and her style has come along a lot since the show.

59th Mrs Kasha Davis 6.20

arrow up.gif from 59
Season 7, 11th place
Highest score: 9 (ElectroBoy)
Lowest score: 3 (Josh, Theo)

Kasha is pretty high for someone who didn’t make top 10, but there is definite appeal. An older somewhat campy queen, Kasha evokes old Hollywood glamour mixed with rich old white woman married to a business magnate. Kasha is one I’d love to see more of for sure as she never quite hit her stride in season 7 but she always had time for a cocktail, a gal after my own heart tbh.


58th Roxxxy Andrews 6.25

arrow down.gif from 31
Season 5, runner-up
Highest score: 9 (Leonardo, Harry)
Lowest score: 0 (Doug)


She was left at a bus stop, and she's here to make it clear. Another All Star bows out, with a fairly huge fall although given her performance on AS2 we’re using that team loosely kink.gif Roxxxy was all round pretty good at looks and comedy on S5, with a solid Sntach Game and the hilarious Tasha Salad in the Draggle Rock challenge, but god knows what happened in AS2. Despite winning the first challenge and LSFYL over Tatianna, she was in the bottom every other week except for Drag Queens Of Herstory and was dragged through by Alaska or Detox winning all but one of those lipsyncs (the one Alyssa/Tatianna won saw Phi Phi go). She did seem a bit nicer on AS2 I guess, which is perhaps why she got as high as 31st last time, but clearly the backlash comes a bit later as she plummets here!

57th Ivyyyyyy Winntteeeerssss 6.33

arrow down.gif from 37
Season 5, 7th place
Highest score: 9.5 (ElectroBoy)
Lowest score: -1 (Leonardo, Simon)

Another Miss Congeniality drops out, with another fairly big fall, this time season 5’s pick. Unlike any other Miss Congeniality, Ivy got a -1 (two in fact), and whilst I would not go that far myself, I did like her, I can kind of see what would annoy people. I find her a bit too forced nice at times, in a way that comes across as fake even if it’s not. Plus that yodel of her name EVERY time she was mentioned *shudders*. But Ivy had a serious talent for designing, as she made pretty much everything she ever wore and that deserves some serious credit, if nothing else!

56th Tammie Brown 6.38

arrow down.gif from 50
Season 1, 9th and All Stars 1, 9th/10th place
Highest score: 10 (ionderella)
Lowest score: 1 (Martyn)

Fairly high for a two time 2nd eliminee, but Tammie has a fair legacy given she lasted only 4 episodes. In Season 1, Tammie iconically decided she didn’t really give a shit and just swayed along in the lipsync, handing it to Akashia. She was a loud presence in AS1’s Untucked, and has a unique quirky style and personality, as mad as a box of frogs. She is unintentionally hilarious but perhaps isn’t the greatest fit for a show that's got such a competitive edge

Posted by: Jack Apr 19 2018, 07:23 PM

I actually think Laganja would do well in an All Stars maybe! I'd be interested to see her back - her 'roast' and Untucked moments are some of my favourites. She is so unintentionally hilarious. ALMOST LIKE YOUR VAGINA OKURRRRR. :')

I also really like Roxxxy even if she is a bit shit, I did think Jinx wasn't all that and v overrated at the time and of course THAT lip sync is iconic.

55th Max 6.41

Season 7, 9th
Highest score: 10 (Electroboy)
Lowest score: 1 (Simon)

One of season 7’s robbed queens (let’s be real there were a few!), Max won two challenges before falling victim to Snatch Game with an awful Sharon Needles impression. Max toed the line with the judges by re-doing the same kinds of looks, but had a definite sense of style and who she was. I wish she survived Snatch Game as I think she had so much more to give, but the lipsync was clearly won by Jaidynn. Realistically, Trixie should never have gone in week 4 anyway and then maybe Max could return and prove herself a bit more, but if we get into re-arranging season 7 that could go on for hours kink.gif


54th Jiggly Caliente 6.43

arrow down.gif from 40
Season 4, 7th
Highest score: 8 (ionderella, Lukuzz, Joe, Haus, Lew)
Lowest score: 0 (Doug)

May we call her Jiggly? Nobody can forget Jiggly’s eyesore of a first outfit, of course the challenge was to make trash into an outfit, and I guess Jiggly did look like she was in some sort of trash apocalypse with everything sticking to her, but lord. Jiggly’s performance and lipsync skills were clear from the offset though, and she sent Alisa home. She didn’t perform the best every time, but her lipsync skills and bubbly persona, got her to 7th place, after taking a campy dragazine challenge far too seriously and entirely misjudging the tone. She now lives as a transgender woman and recently released her album T.H.O.T. Process.

53rd Dida Ritz 6.50 (same 10s, no 9.5s)

arrow down.gif 43
Season 5, 6th place (moral 5th place, bloody Kenya Michaels x)
Highest score: 10 (Martyn)
Lowest score: 3 (Jack)

Unintentionally hilarious iconic QUEEN *.* I totally forgot that fact in the last rate, until my rewatch a couple of weeks ago during the rating period laugh.gif Dida was basic as f*** style wise, but she had so many unintentionally hilarious moments like even just her entering, and her being dramatic over not being able to eat watermelon or chicken in public without people making comments rotf.gif Of course we can’t only give her credit for that though, as her first lipsync against The Princess is arguably the best in Drag Race herstory, so perfectly done and on beat for every last second of the song and every last word.

52nd Morgan McMrrmrr 6.50 (same 10s, one 9.5)

arrow down.gif from 49
Season 3, 8th place, All Stars 3 “5th”
Highest score: 10 (Addy)
Lowest score: 2.5 (ElectroBoy)

Another All Stars 3 contestant drops out as queen of rising back from the dead (more Tyra drama, anyone?) Morgan! Technically the first eliminee, Morgan fell into the bottom 3 in the talent show and was eliminated by BenDeLaCreme, but as we all know the gag of the season happened and she was brought back following Ben’s exit - to go home the very next episode and being lucky to be considered 5th place... I’ve never been a huge fan of Morgan’s, her style is good enough, she is sometimes amusing in being a bitch I guess but nothing incredible. On her first season, Morgan started off well by winning the very first challenge, but that potential fizzled out with a couple of safe performances and then two consectutive lipsyncs, the second of which sent her home instead of Sahara Davenport.

Our second winner to drop out with a fairly big fall, and another All Stars 3 queen is the "secret" tenth queen of that season and the first ever Next Drag Superstar Bebe. My -1 was probably more recency effect and my dislike being fresh, my views on her are probably well documented but she did basically the same look EVERY week and whilst I get her talent I really don't believe she was on the same level as the others and got by a lot further than she should have, as well as being so unlikeable. She was one of the frontrunners on season 1, wowing with her looks, and was involved in Ongina's controversial elimination by sending her home in the lipsync - pretty much the two frontrunners fell into the bottom 2 because their much more realised style was harder to transpose onto a makeover challenge than basic ones like boody Rebecca Glasscock.

I thought Dida Ritz did a fairly good job in her lip sync against Latrice too tbh.

I actually like all them to some degree, Bebe I didn't like much in all stars I felt like she had an ego in all stars 3.

Max I felt like had much more to give. I loved one of her first looks in that challenge tbh I think it is was the winter one?

Morgan and Jiggly both likable too.

Posted by: ¡ʎpp∀ Apr 21 2018, 03:59 PM

Which one is correct Liam...Max fall from 40 or Jiggly's? Or they were both at #40 last time?

Anyway, nice bunch of queens this time (well except the obvious Bebe for me). Maxx should have stayed in top 40 tbh, hopefully we will see her back at some point again.

The way you and Bal praise Dida is making me want to re-watch, the clips I've seen and that gif make me scream :') When I watched it originally I don't remember anything about her lmao.

Posted by: Lukuzz Apr 21 2018, 05:41 PM

Don’t get how Max is so high, devoid of much of a personality. Same could be said for Dida Ritz and Bebe tbh.

Jiggly and Morgan on the other hand tons of personality, although neither managed to reach their full potential on the show imo.

I had the same thoughts even during this rate, and basically rated her high on *that* lipsync but I rewatched and she is so unintentionally hilarious laugh.gif I think it's little things you forget about between watches and appreciate in that context.

I know Bebe didn't excel on All Stars 3 but to have her below queens like Stacy Lane, Farrah Moan and Pandora Boxx seems very wrong.

Posted by: HausofTroye Apr 22 2018, 03:56 PM

Bebe is fantastic sad.gif The stuck-up/queenly attitude is part of the charm imo.

And DIDA I obviously love to bits. Her flat weaves are legendary. She's about in the right place though lmao because I can't really justify her above many other queens but as Liam said she's just unintentionally hilarious whenever she's on screen laugh.gif

Jiggly a lovable mess too <3

50th Phi Phi O’Hara 6.56

arrow up.gif from 75
Season 4, runner-up and All Stars 2, 7th
Highest score: 9 (Joe)
Highest score: 1.5 (ElectroBoy)

Making a significant leap up is Season 4 and All Stars 2 villain Phi Phi. Let’s be real Season 4 would not have been as entertaining without the drama she brought as Sharon’s biggest hater, no matter how unlikeable she was. Her looks since then have REALLY stepped up - just look at her 365 days of cosplay! wub.gif She was a bit better on All Stars 2 for the first part but soon fell back to her old tricks, for example sabotaging Roxxxy’s Snatch Game by convincing her to switch (and subjecting us to that hideous Alaska impression is worth the hate alone tbh. GO BACK TO PARTY CITY WHERE YOU BELONG BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tho

49th Jessica Wild 6.61

arrow up.gif from 55
Season 2, 6th
Highest score: 10 (Martyn)
Lowest score: 0 (Jack)

Somewhat suffering from the language barrier, Jessica was one of the most sweet and likeable queens of the season, known for her charm. She puts me in mind of a less talented Yara Sofia, being a bit too far into crazy (like Yara, she faltered in Snatch Game for this reason with an utterly embarrassing RuPaul that makes Trixie’s look like Jinkx doing Little Edie) but I felt like she never really stood out hugely. Not for the right reasons anyway, of course nobody could forget “Dreams Of A Golden Shower” rotf.gif

48th Mariah Balenciaga 6.67

arrow down.gif from 39
Season 3, 9th
Highest score: 10 (Lew)
Lowest score: 1 (Josh)

Mariah is surely a top contender for a hypothetical Ru-Demption season? Her make-up skills were always amazing (as “The Mug” they have to be) but I feel like since the season everything of hers has really gone up a level. She often pops up for WOW so I was really expecting her to be the “wildcard”/out there pick for AS3, maybe AS4? tongue.gif She really faltered with an awful Joan Crawford in Snatch Game, but could easily be up for a random All Star pick to prove how far she’s come.

47th Miss Fame 6.69

NON-MOVER from 47
Season 7, 7th
Highest score: 10 (Addy)
Lowest score: 1 (Simon)

Only just about budging from her last position, Miss Fame is up net. She was gorgeous and came across really well as a person, but perhaps not best suited to the show. She was very lucky to avoid bottom 2 quite a few times because her runways were always on point, so didn’t have to lipsync until her elimination against Pearl. She’s become a successful model since the show, which proves her beauty and talent. But I wonder how her head is through it all?

46th Pandora Boxx 6.71

arrow up.gif from 53
Season 2, 5th and All Stars 1, 11th/12th (joint)
Highest score: 10 (ionderella, Theo, Harry)
Lowest score: 2 (Doug)

Season 2’s Miss Congeniality falls out next. Pandora was robbed throughout Season 2 of her elusive challenge win, and was very unlucky not to win Snatch Game because of Tatianna pulling off a perfect Britney. I think what let her down was her fashion, which for the jump from season 1 to 2 was quite basic, and she didn’t always take on the judges’ advice and kind of stayed at the same level fashion-wise. Pandora lost a lot of love from fans for being bitter af on AS1, although to be fair she was totally screwed over by the worst twist in Drag Race herstory being paired with Mimi Imfurst, and rather than a potential front runner she was eliminated first.

Posted by: ElectroBoy Apr 22 2018, 05:52 PM

So many season 9 Queens left!

Posted by: Theo. Apr 22 2018, 06:51 PM

I just rewatched Series 2 so Jessica's is more fresh in my mind but tbh i don't think either were that great... its that whole doing another Queen thing that never really works thats been discussed on the Series 10 thread.

Jessica was insane during Snatch Game, but it was far less uncomfortable to watch out of the two.

However I'm going to go into silence mode re Trixie biggrin.gif

Posted by: Joe. Apr 22 2018, 07:53 PM

Both were pretty terrible. Jessica’s was kinda funny in a ‘so bad it’s good’ kinda way I guess

Posted by: Conderella Apr 22 2018, 10:28 PM

Pandora way too low sad.gif My favourite from season 2 as well! AS1 was a disaster overall so I won't even bother saying there since it would imply it's actually WORTH TALKING ABOUT

Posted by: HarryEzra Apr 23 2018, 05:27 PM

I thought Trixie's was way more realistic as Rupaul than jessica was. Rupaul isnt that crazy in Jessica's protrayal.

Pandora so low sad.gif She has always been a favorite of mine I just wish that f***ing all stars 1 twist never happened because I could see her go far in that. I mean you could tell in her entrance look the fashion was a lot better.

I love Phi Phi's looks but her attitude and quite villainess ways can bring her down a lot. However, I love that did that benefit night for Puerto Rico.

Jessica and Miss Fame too <3

Mariah I liked more once the show was over, like seeing her on fashion photo ruview etc.

45th Stacy “Henny” Layne Matthews 6.80

arrow up.gif from 54
Season 3, 8th
Highest score: 9 (ionderella, Joe)
Lowest score: 4 (Josh)

A truly lovely and genuine throughout the season queen, if not the biggest shining star of season, known as Henny, Stacy Layne Matthews is up next. She had a bit of a rough ride on the show, failing to truly capture the judges and being read for not showing herself - until she won Snatch Game. Stacy came out of seemingly nowhere with a spot on Mo’nique impersonation, but the next week fell flat yet again in the Face Of Cakes challenge with a sadly hideous supposedly couture outfit inspired by red velvet. To be fair there was only so many chances the judges could give her laugh.gif

44th Newark, LaGuardia, Kennedy Davenport 6.85

arrow up.gif from 47
Season 7, 4th and All Stars 3, 2nd
Highest score: 11 (Adam)
Lowest score: -1 (Theo)

Another All Star is next ,this time from AS3, and the lowest queen to get an 11! Kennedy was pretty much the Roxxxy of the season, being in the bottom four times with one win. She was clearly well respected by the other queens, benefitting from an awful jury twist by receiving 8 jury votes to place top 2 over Bebe and Shangela, but of course lost to Trixie in the end. Her performance skills are always fab, she’s a great lipsyncer, but there’s just something that never fully wows me about Kennedy, all through season 7 and again on AS3.

43rd Thorgy Thor 7.00

:down from 34
Season 8, 6th and All Stars 3, 10th
Highest score: 10 (ionderella, Josh, Jack, Electroboy)

Another AS3 queen, this time the technical last place (Morgan came back ofc) Thorgy. Although there are worse AS3 robberies naturally, Thorgy should not have even have been bottom 3 in the Divas challenge, let alone eliminated. Thorgy didn’t win a main challenge in her season, although she had a good few highs, her best being probably Snatch Game. She was super sunny and likeable, with a great sense of humour, there were rumours of an AS3 villain edit before airing but I think she can come out of AS3 with her head held high despite the low placement!

42nd Ginger Minj 7.02

arrow down.gif from 35
Season 7, runner-up and All Stars 2, 8th
Highest score: 12 (Adam)
Lowest score: 0 (Jack, Theo)

Yet another All Star, this time AS2’s Ginger Minj, and the lowest to get a 12. A runner-up of season 7, Ginger was a front-runner throughout by being the first to win 3 challenges, including a revered Snatch Game performance and an equally hilarious John Waters inspired performance. She was a “bitter old lady” by her own admission, and that part of her personality brought her down a bit as she seemed to think that only her type of drag was ok. But i really liked Ginger on the whole, she was very real and human in that she had flaws you could see her really work to overcome, and she admitted that.

41st Gia Gunn 7.10

arrow up.gif from 42
Season 6, 10th
Highest score: 9 (Josh, Joe)
Lowest score: 3 (Electroboy)

She doesn’t jump guns, she IS the boom boom gun. Another who maybe wasn’t the best for the format, Gia was very bitchy on season 6, slagging off many of her fellow queens for not being the same as her as they weren’t as fishy and glam as her. But Gia has come on leaps and boudns since, with a brilliant cutting personality that is usually pretty funny and comes out on Youtube etc. She is currently on Chile’s Drag Race and has won 2 challenges out of the two she has competed in ohmy.gif

Posted by: HausofTroye Apr 23 2018, 06:49 PM

Kennedy <3

Also GIA GUNN is such a massive fave, I just wish she'd have lasted longer because in her short time on the show EVERYTHING she said was gag worthy. A true huge star that could've been </3

Posted by: ElectroBoy Apr 23 2018, 07:24 PM

Alot of good Queens there... I do love me a bit of Thorgy even if she constantly gets in her own head. But she's unique and I love her weird quirky style.

Farrah Moan top 40 though is questionable - lovely person, but never really managed to land a challenge. Surprised at Nina too... in fact the Series 9 results are a bit surprising.

I guess Series 9 was fresh in people's minds.

Posted by: Conderella Apr 23 2018, 07:28 PM

40th Nina Bo'Nina Brown Hollyhock Manheim Mannheim Guerrero Robinson Zilberschlag Hsung Fonzerelli McQuack 7.19

NEW ENTRY
Season 9, 6th place
Highest score: 10 (ionderella)
Lowest score: 1 (nickthenoodle)

Kicking off our top 40 is Nina Bonina, one of the influx of season 9 girls to the top 40 who spent much of the season bogged down by imaginary demons. Honestly I think she’s the biggest could’ve been EVER, she was clearly funny (Snatch Game) and the most incredible style and make-up transformation skills, her peach runway!!! Unfortunately she was so in her head the whole time, paranoid for the most part and really lost her way. I really think at another time, when her head was in the right place, she could have been a winner.

39th Trinity K Bonet 7.21

arrow down.gif from 30
Season 6, 7th place
Highest score: 9 (Addy, Davidson, Joe, nickthenoodle)
Lowest score: 3 (Doug)

One of the quieter queens of season 6, but Trinity was a lipsync assassin until she was eliminated by Adore in her 3rd and final lipsync. I found her hard to take to at times, being a bit moody and nothing was ever in her comfort zone and that was always an excuse to why she didn’t do that well if she faltered. She seemed nice enough though and I feel like she’s another one who could be a decent random All Stars pick. Her comedy routine was probably my highlight of hers, really unexpected but it was lovely to see her smash that against the odds.

Posted by: HarryEzra Apr 24 2018, 02:55 PM

I'd love to see TKB in a future all-stars because Bianca brought a lot of confidence out in her so I would like to see how you would do in fully confident in herself. Same with Nina tbh.

Posted by: Theo. Apr 24 2018, 02:57 PM

Funnily enough, Nina Bo'Nina really reminded me of Trinity K Bonet from her series - both of them came across negatively throughout the series and complained each week that the challenge wasn't tailor-made for them. At least Trinity managed to redeem herself with the stand-up routine. At least Valentina has placed higher than Nina here laugh.gif

Posted by: Liаm Apr 25 2018, 05:59 PM

38th Pearl

arrow down.gif from 28
Season 7, runner-up
Highest score: 10 (Addy, Josh, Joe)
Lowest score: 3 (Lindsey)

Pearl was very much a “journey” queen, with a sleepy start being criticised for not taking things seriously enough (clearly a bit *too* flazeda…) or wanting to be there, and even having an iconically tense showdown with Ruapul - “is there something on my face?” *.* Pearl managed two wins, just like Season 9 winner Sasha these were both in pairs, aided by Max and Trixie respectively. I always felt something there with Pearl,a sort of Adore type charm no matter what she does or if she fails, that personality that you either have or don’t and can’t really learn, and I think RuPaul's frustration came from seeing that too. I'm glad Pearl got to show it eventually!

37th Christina Aguilera Farrah Moan

NEW ENTRY
Season 8, 8th
Highest score: 11 (Jack)
Lowest score: 5 (Addy, Lindsey, Doug)

Another season 9 queen in the top 40 is Christina Aguilera’s double Farrah! Farrah never really hit her stride in the competition but she was SO likeable and lord is she beautiful. Sometimes a personality can take you so far as a queen, more than being “sickening” and doing stunts and splits all the time - Farrah is a perfect example of that. She was unintentionally hilarious at times too from her awkward af roast *sighs* and whining and crying montages *.* She's probably a bit high amongst other queens here, but I couldn't help but root for her on season 9, I was always willing her to manage to take off and have a moment.

Posted by: Liаm Apr 25 2018, 07:21 PM

Oops nearly forgot about the season rate tongue.gif I'll interdisperse those results with the top 40:

12th All Stars 1 3.88

Winner: Chad Michaels
Runner-up: Raven
Miss Congeniality: N/A
My personal fave: Raven

Finishing in last place unsurprisingly is All Stars 1. You'd think All Stars first outing with super talented runners-up like Manilla, Chad and Raven and Miss Congenality overload with Latrice, Yara, Pandora and Nina all competing, All Stars 1 would be great. But a stupid pairs twist ruined a lot of the potential in the aforementioned... The likes of Mimi Imfurst and Tammie Brown, cast just for drama, brought down their pairs, and then others didn't really fit in their pairs... At the end of it all, as deserving as Chad was of a title, it all came out feeling like it was set up for him to win. This was symbolised particularly for me in the superhero challenge where her and Shannel got worse critiques as a team, yet Rujubee had to lipsync laugh.gif If it had been the normal format, perhaps things would be better, but it was just a shambles really and not one I ever re-watch.

11th Season 1 5.50

Winner: Bebe Zahara Benet
Runner-up: Nina Flowers
Miss Cogeniality: Nina Flowers
My personal fave: Ongina

The first season is known as "the lost season", not available easily on Netflix or WOWPlus, instead fans have to make do with Youtube. This season was much more basic than others, being filmed with what feels like a 1990s lost VHS tape filter and the queens being much less polished. I guess it did its job as a pilot sort of season that showed what the season could have been capable of, but its awful filming puts me off really watching again, and with the polished looks, hilarious challenges and HD filming of later seasons, it feels like a different show really laugh.gif

Posted by: Jack Apr 25 2018, 08:47 PM

I love Farrah so much, such a likeable personality and she looks AMAZING. I would really love to see her back on a All Stars in the future wub.gif

Posted by: Theo. Apr 25 2018, 09:37 PM

Pearl was such a fave of mine throughout season 7 and one of my favourite "journey" storylines. I use flazéda all the time and her iconic "do I have something on my face?" was such a moment :') He's also the hottest Queen out of drag!

Posted by: Lukuzz Apr 26 2018, 06:54 AM

Some really great queens in the last few updates. I love Ginger, Farrah, Pearl, Stacy and Thorgy.
Also really like Kennedy, Nina and Gia Gunn.
Trinity was alright she definitely shined with help of Bianca could do a lot more though.

Posted by: ElectroBoy Apr 26 2018, 07:38 AM

Yeah I thought Farrah was really nice and I was rooting for her to do well during Season 9

Posted by: ¡ʎpp∀ Apr 26 2018, 12:35 PM

Ok no way in hell Farrah finished higher than Pearl...I am judging you all. Bye.

Posted by: Joe. Apr 26 2018, 12:42 PM

Pearl and Farrah are both fab. Both are great look queens and quirky personalities. Farrah was a better performer but Pearl did better in challanges. I still think his Snatch Game as Big Ang should have been top 3/2 that week and it was a bit unjust that he was just "safe", that was a really good Snatch Game in general though, the last good one.

36th Joslyn Fox 7.38

arrow down.gif from 29
Season 6, 6th
Highest score: 12 (Martyn)
Lowest score: 4 (Josh)

Closing off this batch is chat show QUEEN Joslyn Fox. Nobody could forget her asking Cher’s mother about her abortion views in such a nonchalant way rotf.gif Joslyn was sweet in season 6, a bit ditzy and dumb, not a *huge* amount of talent or wow factor really but her chat show disaster was hilarious. I always found her dumb moments amusingly endearing too, she wanted to be the "black horse" of the competition but some challenges weren't her "cup a soup".

35th Nina Flowers 7.66

arrow down.gif from 24
Season 1, 2nd and All Stars 1, 9th/10th
Highest score: 10 (Alpha)
Lowest score: 3 (Theo)

The first ever Miss Congeniality, and the one the highest placement as a runner-up, many fans feel Nina should have won Season 1 over Bebe. She won the first challenge and was high for 5 out of the 6 following episodes, the one being *that* makeover challenge that was kinda overall a disaster laugh.gif Her style was arguably the most polished on season 1, a season that was overall quite basic, so was an easy choice to return for All Stars 1, where she got paired with…. Tammie Brown. Needless to say that didn’t go quite as well for her tongue.gif

Posted by: Liаm Apr 28 2018, 02:37 PM

10th All Stars 3 6.89

Winner: Trixie Mattel
Runner-up: Kennedy Davenport :')
Miss Congeniality: N/A
My personal fave: Shangela

Bowing out next is the most recent series to be completed, the 3rd edition of All Stars. This had such a strong cast with breakout stars like Trixie and Shangela as well as fan fave BenDeLaCreme, Season 8's robbed queen Thorgy and glo up queen Aja - this was even the first time a previous winner came back with Bebe Zahara Benet being the secret 10th queen. But.... the cast was about the one thing it DID get right :') This season was pretty much a mess all along, with the wrong people going (Thorgy over Milk in the divas thing, really?!), lacklustre challenges (*the* worst Snatch Game ever and a few rushed 10 second runways which I always HATE) and stupid twists that were not needed (that bloody jury that robbed Shangela :')). It was a case of doing too much really, having a good cast wasn't enough for the producers and they thought that twists and tricks weren't needed - they weren't. Obviously it's well documented I adore Trixie, but the fact she won just because Shangela got robbed by a bitter jury (this isn't Drag Big Brother) and DeLa eliminated herself (admittedly one of the most shocking and huge moments in Drag Race herstory) is a bit of a farce :') It made it feel like the challenges barely mattered in a way, whilst Trixie did fine on the season, it seems completely stupid that the two with better track records (as much as I hated Bebe) didn't have even a chance at the final 2 just because they sent more people home...


9th Season 8 6.95

Winner: Bob The Drag Queen
Runners-up: Kim Chi and Naomi Smalls
Miss Congeniality: Cynthia Lee Fontaine
My personal fave: Kim Chi

Season 8 is surely one of the most boring seasons? It wasn't terrible per se, but I just feel like not a lot happened. This is evident as apparently the producers had to stir up rivalries with things like the Shady Politics challenge. Acid Betty was a c*** for the first bit of the season, but hardly a defining villain, and then it was just a case of various people being annoyed at Bob really. The cast wasn't great either, I only see Kim and Bob as real standouts plus maybe Thorgy, Chi Chi was obviously super likeable too. Just meh I think sums this season up, I never have an urge to go back and watch it really.

34th Ongina 7.71

arrow down.gif from 20
Season 1, 5th
Highest score: 10 (ionderella)
Lowest score: 4 (Doug)

The original robbed queen </3 She’s “won” season 1 here though by being the last girl left fro mthe season. I touched on this in Bebe’s commentary, but two of the frontrunners fell bottom 2 in the first ever make-over challenge due to basic styles of the “lesser” queens being easier to do for that challenges, and despite being the first to win two challenges, Ongina was disposed in 5th place. As a bald queen, she really stood out as something different in season 1, and I’d really welcome her doing a Bebe in AS4 to show herself to a new generation (she turned down AS1 but would compete now she has said).

33rd Yara Sofia 7.72

arrow up.gif from 38
Season 3, 4th and All Stars 1, 5th/6th
Highest score: 10 (ionderella, Josh)
Lowest score: 3 (Doug)

Queen of Hatty Potter and lubricant harrrmover x Yara was the Miss Congeniality of season 3, so we lose another Puerto Rican Miss Congenialit in this batch. She is remembered for being very helpful and kind, towards the season’s victim Shangela particularly, she was great at making outfits, hair and make-up so helped Shangela with those when needed and never sniped or complained. She was somewhat pulled back by the language barrier, but her natural warmth and charm was normally enough to see her through. She was always just so sunny and likeable and positive, and she was one of those that even when she failed and did badly you really rooted for her! She was utterly bonkers so even her failures were hilarious such as her f***ing awful British accent rotf.gif She returned for All Stars and was lucky to be in a fittingly great pair with Alexis.

Bob is arguably one of the most sharp and hilarious queens, winning Snatch Game by being the first queen to perform two characters (Carol Channing and Uzo Abuda). He was hardly the most likeable, being very confident to sometimes the point of arrogant ,but at least the talent was there like some other v v v confident queens tongue.gif Bob has been recently seen on The Trixie And Katya Show in place of the latter. He had small feuds with Thorgy and Derrick on the show in a pretty dull series with little drama, once Betty went apparently those moments were drummed a bit by the producers laugh.gif

31st Naomi Smalls 7.93 (no 11s)

Season 8, runner-up
Highest score: 10 (Jack)
Lowest score: 6 (Doug)

Beating Bob this time, just about, but missing top 30 on a tie break, is Season 8 runner-up Naomi. Naomi was a self-proclaimed “fashion girl”, hugely inspired by 90s supermodels, thus she *always* sold her runways to their fullest. I found her a bit basic for a finalist to be honest, but she was lovely and absolutely beautiful, she really did seem like a classic 90s supermodel in her look and the way she carried herself.

Echa pa'lante *.* A fave moment/kween for sure.

Ongina was lovely too. Bob, I never warmed to but I can't deny how much of a force she was throughout the season.

Posted by: ElectroBoy Apr 30 2018, 06:45 PM

Actually surprised Chi Chi is so high given her non-performance for AS3. I'm guessing 8 will be the next series to be all out of Queens though

8th Season 2 7.26

Winner: Tyra Sanchez
Runner-up: Raven
Miss Congeniality: Pandora Boxx
My personal fave: Raven

Next to fall out is Season 2! This somewhat heralded the "real" beginning of Drag Race, bringing much more shade and bitchiness, much more polish from the queens, and more realised challenges, including starting the now traditional Snatch Game challenge. Much of the season was about bitchiness and drama, with Raven against Tatianna being a particular feud, as the former felt the latter was not up to scratch and shouldn't have got as far as she did, but Tyra also caused her fair share of furore by being hard to work with and particularly cold and selfish. There was also a lot of fun from say Jujubee's lovely friendship with Raven, Pandora being a joy and some great challenges, it was a good season to show what the show was really capable of after the pilot of season 1.

7th Season 9 7.77

Winner: Sasha Velour
Runner-up: Peppermint
Miss Congeniality: Valentina
My personal fave: Trinity Taylor

The most recently completed main season bows out next! Season 9 was the first to be aired on VH1, continuing the show's rise in popularity and cultural relevance. It kicked off in style with a huge guest appearence from none other than Lady Gaga in a challenge inspired by her many iconic outfits. The cast was pretty strong, with a clear frontunner in Shea but challenges from fan fave Valentina, eventual winner Sasha and the all-rounder Trinity, and there was a fair share of drama including Valentina's controversial elimination, Charlie Hides refusing to lipsync and Eureka being removed due to her knee injury. I think it's probably about right in terms of seasons here, there are worse but also better, and I will have to see how it holds up with repeated viewings also.

30th Alexis Mateo 7.93

arrow up.gif from 33
Season 3, 3rd and All Stars 1, 5th/6th
Highest score: 11 (nickthenoodle)
Lowest score: 4 (Martyn)

BAM. Again finishing a few places ahead of her Season 3 buddy and All Stars partner Yara is season 3’s other Puerto Rican queen Alexis. She was the first to win 3 challenges, her natrual charisma made her a force to be reckoned with in challenges such as the patrotic message where her charm could shine through. She faltered a few times, but was somewhat of a lipsync assassin, even sending home Shangela after a stunning lipsync to Even Angels by Fantasia. I prefer Yara as a person/queen but Alexis had such an infectious personality for the most part and was a nice balance to the Heathers in that season.

29th Tracy Martel 7.97

arrow down.gif from 22
Season 7, 6th and All Stars 3, winner
Highest score: 12 (Lukuzz)
Lowest score: -1 (Jack)

Our All Stars 3 winner, and the lowest of the 3 All Stars winners after being a robbed fan fave in Season 7, is breakout star Trixie Mattel. Trixie copped quite a bit of flack in that series for winning without winning a Lipsync For Your Legacy, and admittedly even as a massive fan, she did only win because an awful jury twist robbed Shangela, and even then Shangela would have only won because Ben eliminated herself laugh.gif After Ben got eliminated, it was really gonna be a bit eh even if Shangela won, because that would be hanging over it. But anyway - Trixie is one of the funniest queens for me, just totally my sense of humour and super extra which works really well on stuff like Unnhh and Trixie and Katya, plus I also love her music as I’m a total country music whore <3 Her performance on AS3 wasn’t as bad as some people like to make out, but I can see why people are annoyed that a track record that was iirc (I cba counting up the actual Dusted or Busted score) worse than not just Shangela and ofc DeLa, but also Bebe allowed her to win. As with Chad and Alaska, we all thought/knew Trixie would win since AS3 was announced really, that doesn't mean I hate her winning, as with either of the others, but I can see why people weren't elated at her winning no matter how much of a fave she is for me. But nonetheless, whatever you think of her, she is a hugely popular queen who encapsulates a lot of what is making Drag Race such a wide appealing show and permeating the mainstream.

Posted by: HarryEzra May 1 2018, 03:12 AM

Yara, Alexis and Trixie are all such great drag queens *.*

Posted by: ElectroBoy May 1 2018, 07:34 AM

I think that's about right for Trixie based on the shows - I actually watched the first half of Season 7 and she was robbed against Pearl in that lip sync where she was sent home. But then the order of elimination for the Series 7 Queens was a bit absurd anyway...

And I don't 'hate her' I just hated the twist that lent to her win biggrin.gif

Posted by: Lukuzz May 1 2018, 08:12 AM

Love Bob and Naomi.
Alexis is great but I think slightly too high.
Trixie should be at least top 20! She’s my fave queen ever from the show! However I agree she didn’t do amazing on the show, moreso after the show.

Posted by: Theo. May 1 2018, 09:56 AM

Alexis and Trixie out in one fell swoop? cry.gif Two of my ultimate faves. I can't believe some of the season 8/9 queens that have finished ahead of them :')

28th Aja 8.00

NEW ENTRY
Season 9, 9th, All Stars 3, 7th
Highest score: 10 (Alpha, Josh)
Lowest score: -1 (Jack)

Another All Stars 3 girl, Aja had arguably one of the best glo-ups between her season and AS3. Her style improved tenfold, and I find her such a commanding presence, shady and bitchy enough without being a total twat about it. On Season 9, she was really not that great, never standing out unless it was in a bad way (*THAT* fairytale outfit that she famously tore Valentina down for her “beautiful smile” and looking like Linda Evangelista in), but AS3 showed what she was capable of, including amazing talking head segments that usually made me howl. She’s gearing up to release a rap EP which will no doubt be fierce judging by Finish Her *.* Also can we talk about how she was ROBBED in AS3's Snatch Game, having seen clips of Crystal LaBeija she was SPOT ON.

27th Peppermint 8.02

NEW ENTRY
Season 9, 2nd
Highest score: 9 (Addy, Doug, Theo, ElectroBoy, Adam, Lew)
Lowest score: 7 (Lukuzz, Leonardo, Simon, Jack, Haus)

The highest queen to not receive a 10, with very consistent scores, Peppermint does v well to come this high! She was lovely on her season, arguably should have been Miss Congeniality over Valentina, and whilst not always the most talented or sickening she was always professional, composed and true to herself. She shouldn’t really have been as high as 2nd over Shea and Trinity, but it wasn't her fault that she was a lipsync assassin in a season where the final was determined by lipsyncs laugh.gif One of her best moments for me was her eviscerating Cynthia in the lipsync to Music, poor Cynthia had 0 chance.

Posted by: HarryEzra May 1 2018, 05:53 PM

Omg the music lip sync was so good especially when she did that gun thing to Cynthia I WAS DEAD.

Aja impressed me more in AS3. I really like her now. I wish she was that good in season 9.

Posted by: ElectroBoy May 1 2018, 05:57 PM

All Stars 3 completely changed my opinion of Aja... and Peppermint was definitely a lip sync assassin.

Whilst Trinity and Shea were more consistent throughout the season and I guess had this been in another format would've both been top 3 along with Sasha, however Peppermint really did outshine Trinity during their lip sync for Stronger.

Actually I wonder if this change is going to be there for Season 10 as well.

Posted by: Liаm May 1 2018, 06:01 PM

26th Valentina 8.06

NEW ENTRY
Season 9, 7th
Highest score: 12 (nickthenoodle)
Lowest score: 5 (Haus, Alpha)

Rounding off this batch is the somewhat controversial Valentina. She didn’t receive any super low scores, but fans are quite divided. Some love her, but some can see the truth in Aja’s infamous rant. Valentina for example claims to have started drag much later than she really did, and many of the queens have opined she isn’t as sweet as she claimed. This was somewhat evident in her unforgettable elimination, the first time she had really faltered, didn’t bother to learn the lipsync and had a hissy over having to take her mask off for it so she couldn't’ hide the fact she didn’t know the words. She is beautiful and there’s talent, real potential to have been a fave, but for me there is just something I really don’t buy about her sad.gif

25th Chad Michaels 8.10 (no 11s)

arrow down.gif from 17
Season 4, runner-up and All Stars 1, winner
Highest score: 10 (Alpha, Lew)
Lowest score: 3 (Josh)
The first ever All Stars winner, and oldest queen to ever win. Chad was polished perfection on season 4 really, having so much experience really showed and she barely faltered the entire way through the competition, from having what is easily one of the best Snatch Games ever as Cher to showing her charm and personality in challenges like Frenemies and Frock The Vote, even sending home the lipsync assassin of the season Latrice Royale. In AS1, she kind of DeLa’d the compeition, although she was bottom 2 the first time, and it kind of felt like it was set up for her to win, but she’s a deserved Hall Of Famer as one of the most poised and professional queens, never really being sucked into drama or losing her cool.

Posted by: Liаm May 1 2018, 06:13 PM

6th Season 7 8.11

Winner: Violet Chachki
Runners-up: Ginger Minj & Pearl
Miss Congeniality: Katya
My personal fave: Katya/Trixie

I feel like this season is really underrated so I'm glad it wasn't too low in this! This season had a kinda awful elimination order with a few queens being robbed, but there were a lot of brilliant challenges such as a classic Snatch Game in which Katya, Pearl, Ginger and Kennedy all KILLED it, a wonderfully bizarre John Waters inspired acting challenge and a kawaii Hello Kitty ball. There were a lot of journeys on display from the likes of Pearl, Violet and Ginger, who made a great top 3 that really represented the season even if Katya was ofc robbed. I don't get the hate this season often gets tbh sad.gif

5th Season 3 8.14

Winner: Raja
Runner-up: Manilla Luzon
Miss Congeniality: Yara Sofia
My personal fave: Shangela/Manilla

I was really surprised to see this in the top half ohmy.gif Season 3 followed on from Season 2 drama and bitching with more of the same, as Shangela was somewhat of a target of the "Heathers" due to her inexperience and receipt of help from fellow queens, as well as one of the most iconic Untucked moments in which Mimi accused Shangela of "having a sugar daddy to pay for everything" *.* I think this season should probably be lower than the 3 just gone, it was good but there were some eh filler episodes, and the cast aside from the top 5 (the real top 5, Carmen should have never come back and robbed Shangela of 5th xxx) was kinda meh.

Posted by: ElectroBoy May 1 2018, 06:24 PM

7 is alot better than its reputation... but I think the order of eliminations and Ru's choices were extremely questionable throughout. Keeping Kandy Ho so many times... and Jaidynn too at the expense of better Queens was just silly.

But some good Queens in 7!

Posted by: HausofTroye May 1 2018, 06:27 PM

7 has amazing queens but the eliminations and bottom 2 choices were pretty shocking (in the worst possible way) throughout.

3 is AMAZING. I was so pleasantly surprised at how funny it was and how likeable so many of the queens were. It also has one of my all-time favourite episodes: Totally Leotarded <3

Posted by: Adam May 1 2018, 08:18 PM

Great to see 7 doing well, sad to see Ginger and Kennedy bow out before top 40.

The likes of Farrah a bit high for me even if she is very sweet. Someone like Alexis did VERY well to climb amongst an influx of s9 girls. And from within that, woooooah at Peppermint getting a 7, 8 or 9 from EVERYBODY- consistent queen!

24th Sasha Velour 8.10 (more 11s)

NEW ENTRY
Season 9, Next Drag Superstar
Highest score: 11 (Alpha)
Lowest score: 2 (Joe)

The winner of season 9 after absolutely slaying the final lipsyncs, intellectual queen Sasha leaves only Shea and Trinity left from Season 9 battling it out (rightfully x). Sasha had amazing looks throughout the season, being a high-concept kind of runway queen and as a “drag scholar” there was always a lot of thought to put into her looks. She could sometiems come across as a bit patronising with the way she explained things and didn’t always *need* to be so intellectual about EVERYTHING, but she didn’t always take herself too seriously. She had two challenge wins bouncing off of Shea in both the Good Morning Bitches and Your Pilots On Fire challenges, as well as pulling off a flawless Marlene Dietrich for Snatch Game (I’d would KILL to see her planned Judith Butler performance though rotf.gif) plus she of course really pulled everything out of the bags for the final lipsyncs,that wig reveal with rose petals *.* I didn’t so much mind her winning even though Shea/Trinity were robbed, because she took that moment and ran with it and won it on the night.

23rd Chi Chi DeVayne 8.17

arrow down.gif from 19
Season 8, 4th and All Stars 3, 8th
Highest score: 10 (Joe, Leo, Simon, Rob, Alpha)
Lowest score: 5 (Lindsey)

ROBBED of Miss Congeniality on season 8 and that’s the tea. Chi Chi wasn’t the most polished queen but her likeablity shone through in everything she did, and she stayed true to herself. She was just so sweet and lovable and energised no matter what the challenge was or what she faced. On All Stars 3 she was pretty much filler, although she was treated kind of unfairly as she hardly deserved to be bottom for the talent show or Divas Live over Milk… Of course Chi Chi is also one of the best lipsync performers the show has seen, winning the Bitch Perfect challenge and being responsible for one of the best lipsyncs of all time with Thorgy to And I Am Telling You.

Posted by: Liаm May 2 2018, 03:39 PM

22nd Courtney Act 8.19

arrow up.gif from 31
Season 6, runner-up
Highest score: 10 (Addy, Callum, Doug, Theo, Jack)
Lowest score: 3 (Josh)

Fresh from a Celebrity Big Brother win, Courtney vaults up to 22nd this time around! Crticised a lot for resting on pretty, Courtney nonetheless managed to make top 3 in season 6 without having to lipsync for her life, winning the talk show and Rusical challenges along the way. She had some amazing runways amongst some “resting on prtty” ones, and despite an iffy edit, sometimes coming across as bitchy, CBB showed what a wonderful person she is, so articulate and a brilliant role model for the LGBT+ community. This isn’t a BB rate ofc but it shows her personality outside the show, which buoys her up for me, I also love her in the AAA girls! Rumour has it Channel 4 has snatched her up for a talk show which will be fab to see.

21st Detox 8.22

arrow down.gif from 13
Season 5, 4th and All Stars 2, runner-up
Highest score: 11 (Doug, Rob)
Lowest score: 5.5 (Martyn, Lindsey)

Just missing out on the top 20 is the silicone queen Detox! Detox’s looks were possibly the best on season 5, especially her monochrome reunion look which is one of my favourite looks in Drag Race herstory <3 On the actual challenges, Detox didn’t always stand out, only winning the Draggle Rock challenge, although she did win 5 mini-challenges which is a record, so that’s something. She was a bit of a c**t but in a way that I love and only she could get away with, there’s just something I *love*. On All Stars 2 she did a bit better, winning two challenges and being a runner-up with Katya to her bff Alaska, although she did have a hand in keeping Roxxxy in so long being the tox in Rolaskatox…


So the top 20 in alphabetical order is:

Adore
Alaska
Alyssa
DeLa
Bianca
Jinkx
Jujubee
Katya
Kim Chi
Latrice
Manila
Raja
Raven
Shangela
Sharon
Shea
Tatianna
Trinity Taylor
Violet Chachki
Willam

Results might be a bit slower as my dissertation is due next week and I haven't prepped the top 20 but I'll try and post some in my breaks while I'm holed up in the library laugh.gif

Posted by: Theo. May 2 2018, 03:56 PM

I didn't watch season 6 until after seeing bits of Courtney on CBB and seeing how much she cared about other people and giving a positive representation of the LGBT community so when I saw her on Drag Race, her "bitchiness" didn't really come across to me. She just was very determined to win and slayed pretty much every challenge. I'm glad to see her as one of few climbers here!

Posted by: ElectroBoy May 2 2018, 04:33 PM

Chi Chi is a little high considering her AS3 appearnance and Detox not top 20?!

Posted by: Josh! May 2 2018, 05:06 PM

Detox not being top 20 is a real shame. I've been watching AS2 properly this week and she kills it every week, some of her looks were stunning too. Jujubee is the only one in the top 20 who is shouting out to me as a bit of an odd choice but she is lovely so I can see why she's so popular.

I think Shea, Trinity, Juju and potentially Violet too will be in the next couple of batches to be announced.

Posted by: ElectroBoy May 2 2018, 06:03 PM

For me on the only stand out is Kim Chi... but then I didn't think she was strongest in S8 - fantastic runways/ concepts but I think there are way better Queens that are already out

Posted by: Lukuzz May 2 2018, 06:41 PM

Detox should 100% be too 20. She slayed in both seasons she was in!

Shea and Trinity shouldn’t be top 20 yet imo, they haven’t done enough to be there.

Posted by: HausofTroye May 2 2018, 06:50 PM

Definitely agree Detox should be top 20! Sasha was incredible too and your commentary sums it up perfectly Liam. The top 20 is STRONG, Kim defying odds <3

Chi Chi is too high ~

20th Shea Coulee 8.54

NEW ENTRY
Season 9, 3rd/4th (joint)
Highest score: 10 (ionderella, Addy, Josh, Liam, Alpha)
Lowest score: 6 (Lindsey)

The “technical” winner of Season 9, Shea won a whopping four challenges, matching Sharon Needles’ record in a main series and putting her as one of the best performing queens statistically - but she only came a joint 3rd/4th! This was of course due to the lipsyncing format of the finale which robbed her really. She worked amazingly with season winner Sasha in Good Morning Bitches and Your Pilot’s On Fire, grabbing joint wins for both, but her Blac Chyna in Kardashians: The Rusical and her Village People Coutre in the annual Ball challenge saw her shine all on her own. Shea just slayed throughout, both runways and challenges, and while Trinity would be my personal season 9 winner, it seems farcical she was robbed of even top 2 because of lipsyncing at the final!

19th Willam 8.60

arrow up.gif from 21
Season 4, disqualified
Highest score: 11 (Lukuzz, Theo, Haus, Rob)
Lowest score: 3.5 (Lindsey)

To date still the only queen to be disqualified, for having her husband visit during the compeition, Willam sneaks into the top 20. Unlike most queens on the show, Willam didn’t come through the club circuit and made her name on TV in bit parts - which she might have mentioned on the show once or twice kink.gif Willam got read a bit for resting on pretty and not always showing his true self, but was hilarious at times such as giving us an incredible Jessica Simpson in Snatch Game, and has crafted out a decent career post-show, dabbling in music, continuing in TV and even writing a book.

Posted by: Davidson May 5 2018, 07:09 PM

So f***ing glad Trinity Taylor is the highest queen from S9 on here.

Sometimes justice is served.

Posted by: Liаm May 7 2018, 06:47 PM

18th Manilla Luzon 8.61

arrow down.gif from 14
Season 3, 2nd
Highest score: 12 (Leonardo)
Lowest score: 3 (Josh)

Manilla was a front-runner throughout thanks to her perfect blend of comedic skill and runway slayage, but ultimately lost to her season bestie Raja. She proved that she could be hilarious, peaking with her ridiculous Asian caricature in the QNN challenge which proved sometimes you have to take risks and not worry about what’s acceptable all the time. Whilst Raja owned this season’s runway, Manilla refused to be totally left in her dust, finishing high in the Xmas and cake challenges as well as winning the Money Ball challenge. I feel like she would have been a fab all round winner, but Raja showed where drag could go fashion wise and that was I think the angle they wanted at the time.

17th Kim Chi 8.63 (less 11s)

arrow up.gif from 18
Season 8, runner-up
Highest score: 11 (Addy, Josh, Haus)
Lowest score: 6 (Simon)

Season 8’s queen of looks, Kim was a front-runner throughout, winning the first and last challenges of the season, both focused on looks. She had such a way of thinking about her looks and putting them together, and always made them pop with her signature style of make-up, as well as being pretty lovable in confessionals etc. Outside the show, I find her a bit iffy on Twitter and that stops her being an absolute fave, but on the show I adored her. Bob was the right winner tho soz

Posted by: ElectroBoy May 7 2018, 07:32 PM

Kim Chi is way too high... shame Manila dropped, but I guess you can't argue with the remaining Queens as they're all good

EDIT - Oh its a tie (my bad)

Posted by: Theo. May 7 2018, 07:46 PM

Kim Chi is way too high. Season 8 was the weakest overall for queens and while she served some great looks, she doesn't deserve to be higher than Manila and others who have dropped out.

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?

Posted by: Josh! May 7 2018, 11:37 PM

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

Posted by: Joe. May 9 2018, 10:07 PM

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).

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.

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.

Did I really only give Raja 6.5...? Thought I rated her higher but maybe not biggrin.gif

Also surprised to see Season 6 not win best season!?!

Posted by: HarryEzra May 13 2018, 11:32 PM

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.

Adore and Bianca to slay pls x

Posted by: Theo. May 14 2018, 08:57 AM

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.

Posted by: ElectroBoy May 14 2018, 02:58 PM

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!

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.




Posted by: Theo. May 15 2018, 04:46 PM

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!)

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.

In my defence, I hadn't seen AS2 at the time!! I found her really unlikeable on S2 but there's no denying how fabulous she was on AS2 and I think 'The Same Parts' may be one of my all-time favourite drag race moments. She'd easily be an 8+ now and she only continues to grow on me with her social media presence!! <3

8th Sharon Needles 9.32

arrow down.gif from 6
Season 4, Next Drag Superstar
Highest score: 12 (Addy, Davidson)
Lowest score: 6 (Doug)

Sharon without a doubt completely changed the game, there had been nothing like her on the show and when she walked out on episode 1 with that zombie look, fake blood, yet still embodying femininity, the game was never the same. Despite not being typical traditional drag or glamour, which usually spelled disaster in Drag Race, Sharon’s unique style took her all the way to the crown with a record breaking four challenge wins using all of her C.U.N.T., winning not just runway challenges but ones based on her personality. There’s no doubt that Sharon winning opening up so many avenues for the show and for drag, showing that you didn’t have to be traditional paegant glamour or a fashion model, you could be yourself with your own individual style.


Posted by: ElectroBoy May 15 2018, 10:24 PM

Good to see Sharon still top 10 and you're right she was a game changer in terms of the type of Queens on the show and opened it up alot more in terms of artistry.

Also that laughing video is hilarious biggrin.gif

Posted by: ElectroBoy May 15 2018, 10:47 PM

My feeling is that it'll be between Ben and Shangela with Bianca staying at 3.

Jujubee always does well in these things, definitely one of the most loveable cast members ever.

Had the pleasure of being around Adore on Sunday and Monday and is unbelievably down to earth, not an ounce of diva. Along with Tatianna, who has sadly fallen but I still think she’s incredible, I think have the best “growth” shown on camera storylines to show.

Sharon... hmm, loved her and her revolutionising Drag Race but not keen on her post show really.

Just beating out her ex is Alaska! Alaska tried out every season before finally be selected after Sharon won, and had a bit of an arc on season 5 with coming out of Sharon’s shadow and showing her own talent, learning to carry herself instead of relying on Rolaskatox. While she didn’t quite manage it in Season 5, she’s in a league of her own since tbh. Having easily snatched AS2 with four challenge wins (despite THAT tantrum at the end that threatened to derail her entirely), Alaska has become one of the biggest breakout stars ever on the show. She just has *it* I feel, everything she does is so her and only she could do it, making anything absolutely hilarious.

God I love Alaska. She's utterly batshit bonkers.

It's incredible to see her growth from season 5, where she really didn't start out that great, to completely dominating All Stars 2. At times, it felt like she was the seasoned pro, guest starring to show them all how it was done. She has star power in spades. And god, she's so funny!

Everyone left is so strong at something, but the only ones I really feel are on Alaska's level are Katya, Bianca and Shangela. Alyssa is hysterically funny, but falls just behind the others for me. I just don't like Jinkx (sorry!) and I think Ben is overrated, despite doing so well at the start of AS3.

Just missing the top 5 on a tie ohmy.gif Undoubtedly the breakout star of AS3, DeLa absolutely steamrolled the competition and gagged us all in perhaps the most shocking Drag Race moment ever by eliminating herself in sixth place. With an unprecedented 5 challenge wins, 4 of which were consecutive, DeLa proved that she was even more of a force than she was on Season 6 when she won fans hearts as Miss Congeniality (and got robbed as Darienne Lake outstayed her). She’s the only queen to win Snatch Game twice, with a spot on Maggie Smith and a hilarious Paul Lynde, and is the true winner of AS3. Although by god, IMAGINE the jury twist if it had robbed Shangela *and* DeLa for sending too many queens home? laugh.gif Perhaps it’s for the best that DeLa left on her own terms...





Posted by: Lukuzz May 17 2018, 06:57 PM

Thought Alaska would be top 5. Fab queen, was amazing live when I saw her do a solo show for Anus a few years back.
I do like Ben but I still can’t help but find her overrated. I don’t think she deserved all 5 of those wins on AS3, glad to see her just missing the top 5

Posted by: Jack May 17 2018, 09:52 PM

Really warmed to Ben on All Stars, so watchable and talented. Not that great on the runway, but she made up for it elsewhere.

Highest score: 12 (Jack, Rob, Haus)
Lowest score: 3 (Liam) - my 0 was a bit harsh so I edited as I rewatched but she still gets on my tits x

Just missing out on the top 5 is Alyssa, and before I get dragged and blamed for it she’d have only been 4th even if I did give her like a 7 or something more “acceptable” x Alyssa became a huge fan fave on Season 5 for her endless quips and quotes, facial expressions, and unintentional hilarity through malapropisms and the way she carried herself. She was also the focus of one of the main dramas of Season 5 with her frenemy Coco Montrese. A natural choice for AS2, Alyssa placed one better there. Despite some rigga morris with Alaska saving Roxxxy yet again, Alyssa returned the next episode after possibly the best lipsync (as in, both were outstanding, not like Dida steamrolling The Princess) in herstory against Tatianna.




Posted by: Theo. May 17 2018, 11:27 PM

I'm kinda gagged that Jinkx is above those two. BenDeLa should be top THREE! Alyssa is definitely a future 11/12 for me, she is hilarious on socials and I love her guest appearances in the main series!

3. Shangela
2. Bianca
1. Katya

The highest All Stars 3 queen by a smidge is the comeback queen Shangela. The only queen to have competed three times, it was incredible to see someone who once went home in the very first episode of her season become a serious frontrunner in a season that showcased the best of the best. Shangela has such an X Factor about her, even on season 2 when she’d been doing drag for 5 months she had such a charisma and charm about her that her peers could only dream of. For me that’s something you can’t teach or learn, and is the fundamental of being a great drag queen. Shangela proved her comedy chops in Season 3 by winning Space Queens and RuHaHa, amongst a rivalry with the Heathers. On All Stars 3 she grabbed wins in the Divas Live, Snatch Game and My Best Squirrelfriend’s Dragsmaids Wedding Trip, winning all three of those lipsyncs as well. Ultimately, Shangela is one of those rare queens who just owns it and turns it out even when she does badly and you always want her to succeed. It was awful to see her robbed at the last hurdle in All Stars 3 but she's your All Stars 3 winner here!




Posted by: Liаm May 18 2018, 08:49 PM

Let's get the season rate done...


2nd Season 5 9.88

Winner: Jinkx Monsoon
Runners-up: Roxxxy Andrews and Alaska
Miss Congeniality: Ivy Winters
My personal favourite: Alaska

Just pipped to the post as best season is Season 5, won by Jinkx Monsoon. This had it all really, a good amount of drama (Coco vs. Alyssa, Jade Jolie being an utter c***, Rolaskatox, Roxxxy's contempt for Jinkx, to name just a few), a great cast, a good mix of challenges, and it never felt too predictable (Jinkx didn't just storm it all) as it felt like Roxxxy or Alaska could have snatched it at various points. There were some filler queens but that's par for the course, the double elimination helped us get rid of those that bit sooner tongue.gif



That means the best season is of course...



1st All Stars 2 10.11

Winner: Alaska
Runners-up: Katya and Detox
Miss Congeniality: N/A
My personal fave: Katya


The second All Stars perfected the formula and then some! After the disastrous first All Stars, this fought back with a stellar cast (even if we had a few too many from AS5) and a format that didn't ruin it all. The Lip Sync For Your Legacy was much better than the pairs shite, allowing the best of the best to lipsync against each other for a cash prize as well as the power to boot one of their competitors who landed in the bottom 3... This added some drama without it being too artificial, and of course having well-loved talented queens like Alaska, Katya, Detox, Tatianna and Alyssa competing in one season was going to provide moment after moment! Every episode felt like essential viewing, and while a couple of contestants were robbed, it was a solid finishing order with the right top 3.

Posted by: ElectroBoy May 18 2018, 09:09 PM

Surprised Shangela didn't make the top 3.

But the top 3 is incredibly strong great to see Jinkx there smile.gif

3rd Jinkx Monsoon 9.71

arrow up.gif from 7
Season 5, Next Drag Superstar
Highest score: 12 (ionderella, ElectroBoy, Alpha)
Lowest score: 7.5 (Lindsey)





Opening up our top 3 is Season 5’s kooky winner Jinkx. Just as Sharon opened it up for being different, Jinkx showed that you can be campy and comedic and win, when arguably most winners prior to her had been mostly based on aesthetic. Becuase of her different approach, Jinkx was a punching bag all season for many contestants, particularly Roxxxy. She had a bit of a slow start, being critiqued for her fashion, not winning until episode 5 with possibly one of the definitive Snatch Game performances as Little Edie, but Jinkx always made us howl with her quirkiness and unique charm, taking the psis out of her narcolepsy for example, and stood up for herself when needed. Her winning was a moment for comedy queens, which brings us to our top 2...


Katya vs. Bianca! Can the Russian hooker snatch the win again, or will the queen of mean steal it this time?

Posted by: Theo. May 19 2018, 04:35 PM

Shangela was such a fave of mine on seasons 3 and All Stars. Her personality is so charming and as you said, even when she had clearly failed at a challenge, you couldn't help but root for her. I never expected her to gag me so many times with her runway looks in All Stars.

No surprise to see All Stars 2 win the season rate! I would say season 6 is my favourite but it was the first one that I watched so had more of an impact than some I watched more recently. Definitely a huge step up from All Stars 1 - hopefully they take more notes from that season when casting for the next one.

I didn't expect Jinkx to be so high! ohmy.gif She is so loveable, especially with the bullying towards her from Roxxxy, she always rose above it and showed what a classy queen she is!

I love both this top two but as Katya got my 12, I'm rooting for her to snatch it again.

Posted by: Oliver May 19 2018, 05:46 PM

Jinkx will always be my favourite, the first queen I ever actively rooted for rather than just thought “yeah she should win”. wub.gif

She did have a fairly slow start but it goes to show when, 5 seasons on, she still holds the record for most consecutive top finishes (7 highs and 2 wins)! dance.gif

Posted by: Liаm May 22 2018, 03:31 PM

So it's Katya vs. Bianca for the top 2, with Bianca displacing Alyssa from last year. Which queen came out on top, can Katya do it again? ohmy.gif





































































2nd Bianca Del Rio 10.00


Season 6, Next Drag Superstar
arrow up.gif from 3
Highest score: 12 (Liam)
Lowest score: 8.5 (Callum*)

Just missing out on taking the crown this time is the queen of mean with a heart of gold, Season 6's winner Bianca Del Rio! From the very first episode she stood out as a fan favourite with her hilarious acerbic put-downs that rolled off her acid tongue effortlessly. Being that cutting but so loved is hard, but Bianca strikes the balance by having the biggest heart beneath it all once you melt the few layers of ice that encase it kink.gif She's my favourite for that reason, so layered and complex instead of just being a c*** like other "honest" queens. In particular her friendship with Adore is one of my faves, as it showed Bianca at her acerbic best as well as elucidating her softer side - she really cared about Adore and would help her and that brought out the best in her. Being arguably the most witty queen, Bianca has seen great success with her comedy tours and remains one of the best performing queens on the show, never achieving a low or bottom 2 placing on any challenge. A worthy best winner *.*

1st Katya 10.21


Season 7, 5th and All Stars 2, runner-up
NON-MOVER
Highest score: 12 (Joe, Theo, Harry)
Lowest score: 7 (Leonardo)


So there we have it, Buzzjack's fan fave yet again is Katerina Petrovna Zamolochikova (but your dad just calls her Katya) *.* Katya is a queen unlike any other, able to take the piss out of herself with no tpic out of bounds. It's so refreshing that instead of being a sob story her mental health and past addictions are used in a more empowering way to become her strengths - her self depreciative humour is second to none! If there's any queen to challenge Bianca, it's Katya, such a weirdo but you wouldn't have her any other way would you? She slayed challenges such as Snatch Game (her All Stars 2 Bjork is a contender for my fave EVER rotf.gif), Divine Inspiration and Spoof There It Is across two seasons, winning Prancing Queens and RuHollywood Stories in Season 7 and lipsyncing for her legacy three times in All Stars 2 after Snatch Game, A Family That Drags Together and Drag Fish Tank, although she didn't win any. There's no wonder that Katya is such a breakout star from the show, hosting The Katya and Trixie Show with her bff Trixie, although she is currently on a mental health break from drag for 2018.

Posted by: cantthinkofaname May 22 2018, 04:00 PM
