Just missing out on a spot in the top 30 is Jan, one of our most recent queens that appeared in season 12. Jan was by far my favourite in season 12 up until the point Jaida Essence Hall started to flourish (and admittedly when Jan was eliminated). Jan was cruelly eliminated earlier than she should have been, finishing 8th. She has such a bubbly personality and always comes across happy, energetic and positive. Despite underperforming in a couple of challenges, her determination to do well cannot be denied. I've also just learned that she is in the same drag family as Canada's Drag Race contestant Lemon - so herein lies the reason I stan both as much as I do. Outside of Drag Race, Jan has her own series called Jan's Jukebox where she performs covers, and it's great to see her building her own legacy. Here's hoping for an All Stars return down the line.

If she'd lasted longer I think she'd definitely be my favourite, but there are a couple of others (no spoilers) that have pipped her. No doubt if/when she appears on All Stars she'd be my highest rated though

Also the same applies to A'Keria Davenport even though A'Keria doesn't have the level of Jan hype!!!

And as I've said I don't dislike her or anything, it's just that I am not on a her hype bandwagon like majority on social media.

Well no shade different opinions Not a fashion queen but creative imo - more of a Trinity mold

Enter the top 30 and next up is season 11 winner Yvie Oddly. At the beginning of season 11, Yvie didn't really stand out too much to me, but as the episodes went by I started to sit up and think 'okay this is a potential winner here', and then with each twist and turn, she ended up snatching the crown. Obviously one of the biggest highlights of Yvie's time on Drag Race was her lip-sync against Brooke Lynn Hytes to Demi Lovato's Sorry Not Sorry. Both queens truly brought their all to that, and it remains one of the best lip syncs Drag Race has seen. Yvie's such a warm personality outside of drag too, and she takes all of the obstacles life has thrown at her and puts them into her art and creates something special. It was great to see her back as a lip sync assassin in All Stars 5 too - there really wasn't any competition as soon as she started doing her thing.

nabad Pronouns: he/him Joined: 13 February 2013 Posts: 28,365 User: 18,316	29 Crystal Methyd Appeared in: Season 12 "I don't know who that is..." It took a couple of weeks for me to fully get behind Crystal Methyd on season 12, but after a few weeks of zany, absolutely crazy drag inventions, she won me over and by the end of the season I was willing her on to win (despite how much I also loved Jaida Essence Hall who was my first choice for the crown). Basically anybody but Gigi could have won the season and I'd have been pleased. Crystal's drag was so out of the box and inventive that it sometimes went under-appreciated by the judges, but eventually she managed to win them over too and walked the runway in some of the most amazing things we've seen in Drag Race herstory. Crystal always came across as such a sweet presence in the work room too, and the constant comparisons to El DeBarge made for entertaining viewing too, particularly since she had no idea who everybody was referring to. Future All Stars appearance, please and thank you.

nabad Pronouns: he/him Joined: 13 February 2013 Posts: 28,365 User: 18,316	28 Divina De Campo Appeared in: Season 1 (UK) "Bullshit Vivienne! Bull. Shit." Our final stop with the queens from Drag Race UK, and coming out on top is Divina De Campo, runner-up to The Vivienne in the spin-off's first series. Divina was a slow burner with me - at the very beginning of the season she seemed annoying, loud and a queen that I was probably never going to like in the same way everybody else did. Over the episodes though, she really worked her way up and became a force to be reckoned with. Come the end of the season where she's up against two very unlikeable personalities like The Vivienne and Baga Chipz, she just had to win. The disappointment when she didn't take the crown was real. Despite that, it hasn't stopped Divina continuing to be a truly great queen outside of the show too. Divina's somebody I could see being a real ray of sunshine on an international All Stars version of Drag Race - make it happen Ru!

nabad Pronouns: he/him Joined: 13 February 2013 Posts: 28,365 User: 18,316	27 Latrice Royale Appeared in: Season 4, All Stars 1, All Stars 4 "The SHADE of it all!" She's large and in charge, up next it's Latrice Royale. Latrice first appeared in season 4, and quickly became a fan favourite for her comedic one-liners and put-downs. She excelled in comedy challenges, although I often found that her runway looks, while very sophisticated, were pretty basic compared to what the other queens had to offer. Latrice then returned for the first season of All Stars, being paired with season 3 queen Manila Luzon in what would become one of the most controversial/less-said-the-better seasons of the franchise. Latrice managed to send Tammie Brown home in the second episode, however Manila ended up sending them both packing in the third episode, losing a lip-sync against Jujubee. Then, Latrice AND Manila both came back for blood in All Stars 4, but she didn't exactly fare much better; being eliminated by Monique Heart in episode 4, returning and then finishing fourth. I do think the Latrice train has dried up a lot, and she lost a lot of the magic she had about her in season 4 with each repeated appearance, but she's still entertaining.
