Glad Courtney isn't too high.

 

Always good but never great (aside from both her black and white & winged runway looks). As you said, always a bit stale.

Joslyn definitely shouldn't be higher than Courtney, who I've appreciated more with repeat watches of Season 6 stuff and she's really a very good queen that is often unfairly judged as just being a look.
Joslyn brought very little to Drag Race despite loads of opportunity. There's no way she should be this high.

Okay so now to the final 2 queens, to just miss a spot in the top 30, starting with Season 3 and All Stars' Yara Sofia. Personally I think Yara is too low, for me she is on par with Nina Flowers as the best Puerto Rican queen the competition has had. She's an edgy artist, who at the time in season 3, was the most out there queen the show had seen (obviously then came Sharon in season 4). Her dark witch aesthetic is completely flawless to me, I don't recall a single Yara runway look, I've not thought was absolutely fierce as f***, and to me that makes her stand out against a lot of the other 99 queens that entered the work room. She also has a really charming personality, she might be loud, crazy, and obnoxious, but I noticed on season 3, she was often one of the first to lend others a hand when they needed it. So for my personal taste I'd have liked to see her maybe 10 spots higher, but that's just my opinion, and I'm still very happy with how amazingly she has done here. In terms of scores, she got a really good set of high scores, 2 11s, a 10, lots of 8s, and just the 1 -1, and a couple of middle scores, which just pull her below 7.5. CHA CHA ECHAPALANTE!

 

And then there is Detox. Detox made it all the way to top 4 in season 5, lip syncing 3 times against Lineysha, Coco, and Jinkx. On day one after they all entered the work room, Detox was my pick to win, something about her screamed winner to me, and despite various stumbles in the competition, it was that star quality which I think carried her as far as it did. Despite not winning, Detox will forever be a DR legend, and remains a massive fan favourite for her countless iconic moments on the show: Eat it up, and crown it; the dress with her ass showing; rolaskatox; to lip thing during lip syncs; I've f***ing had it; many others. Since leaving the show, Detox is always out and about doing various things for WoW, and asking audience questions at reunions etc, as well as touring with the battle of the seasons tour, and doing her own tours across the world; and therefore remains one of the most relevant queens from her season.

 

Into the top 30, and still no sign of Joslyn :kink:

Yara Sofia was good, but not as good as Alexis who sent her home. She was, however, very sweet. And her exit/lip sync is still the most emotional and uncomfortable to watch in Drag Race history for me.

 

I've never really liked Detox, I know there is talent there, but her looks just didn't excite me and some were down right awful*. She had some good one liners, but overall i found her sense of humour way too try hard. It's just personal taste I guess.

 

(*Her grey look on the reunion though :heart: )

Both should definitely be higher than they are. Big fans of the two of them, Yara's aesthetic is one of the best ever. I love her mad hair and I love the contacts she always wears.

 

Detox I wasn't keen on when I first watched the season but with more time passed I started to really appreciate her talent. Some of her looks on the show were incredible and she just has the right levels of bitchy in her personality. I found her cold at first but actually she's rather loveable.

Getting to the point where I just love them all now! But another two queens that absolutely should not be below Joslyn (I even feel bad hating on her though, cos she is pretty adorable in a weird way).

Couldn't have put this better myself, this is exactly where I stand with her.

30th Alexis Mateo: 7.6

Highest Scores: 11 (100, Oliver), 9.5 (Leonardo, Martyn), 9 (Jimmy, 152Chris)

Lowest Scores: 2 (Kye), 5 (LexC)

29th Joslyn Fox: 7.73

Highest Scores: 11 (100), 10 (Kye, Jimmy), 9 (Leonardo)

Lowest Scores: 5 (Lukuzz, Joe, LexC)

 

The Jig is up bitches, Alexis Mateo kicks off our top 30. Alexis is such a lovable queen, very kind hearted, and almost took Shangela under her wing in Season 3, helping her with her make up, and dress construction in challenges. Alexis is insanely talented as well, winning 3 challenges in season 3; to put that into perspective, Sharon holds the record with 4, she had the same amount of challenge wins as winner Raja, and runner up Manilla, and also the same as winner Violet Chachki, Bob The Drag Queen, Bianca Del Rio, Tyra Sanchez, and 1 more than winner, Jinkx Monsoon. Obviously I'm not saying she is on the same level as some them, mearly that she was a strong contender in season 3, despite being a "booger". She did struggle as well, lip syncing 3 times, sending home all of her fellow boogers: Stacy, Shangela, and Yara; though I think the biggest criticism that was fired at Alexis during her season was that her runway wasn't exciting enough, which you know I get when your in a competition with the likes of Yara and Raja, but it isn't a runway competition, so I think those criticisms are without much substance tbh, like obviously the runway is important, but the personality is more important for me. I think Alexis might have gotten unlucky in her season placement as well, I think she would have stood a much better chance in season 2 which was less edgy, where in season 3, it was pretty obvious she'd finish third of that final 3. BAM BITCHES!

 

Okay, y'all can rest now, Joslyn Fox is out next :lol: Personally, I don't think she's too high. I mean, as much as I f***ing love her, I don't think she should me much higher, but I think people forget how much of an impact Joslyn had on season 6, because it was such a strong season. Joslyn was strong in a lot of challenges: she was great at the horror movie challenge - Gasp!; her Snatch game was amazing, and definitely the next best after the amazing top 3 - CUMIN!, her rap was amazing, and deservedly top 3 - It's ya gurl Joslyn, and I'm the Fox; and tbf her talk show challenge was going great until she put her foot in her mouth. She also has so many adorable Joslyn-isms which were just so perfect: Rusie-Q; Not my up of soup, cup of tea, cup of whaaaaaat?; I plan on being the black horse of this competition; Gasp; I sure love gumbo; and...KEEP IT FOXY, WAH WAH! She's just so unbelievably lovable, and yes, okay I understand what people might say, her runway was always a mess, true; she never won a challenge, true; she never stood a chance of winning, true; but that isn't what made her an amazing queen, she was a shining light through all the squabbles, she stuck up for queens like Milk, when getting dragged to filth by queens like Gia; she stuck up for herself, when Courtney decided to try and tear her down, and she just made the season more enjoyable to watch. She was someone who made me route for her, even though she stood no chance against that cast, and she did back it up in challenges and lip syncs, and in my opinion will always be the real Miss Congeniality of Season 6. Soz if I went heavy on the justice for Joslyn campaign, I just love her so much :lol: but 29th is her stop, so y'all...KEEP IT FOXY! WAH! WAH! :wub:

In retrospect, I feel bad giving Yara my -1 of that season now. When I look back at some of her looks, she is pretty fab.

I based my feelings on her from All Stars rather than her season because when she was paired with Alexis they absolutely drove me insane.

 

LOVE Joslyn. My score for her really wasn't based all on her looks but her personality really shone through.

She was super sweet and I actually kinda crushed on her the whole season. I'm glad she's top 30.

Three of my 11s are out in the last 6 spots. What the hell :(

 

Yara, Alexis, joslyn and Tammie are flawless!!!

Having to do this group in a 3, as the there's a tie straight after

28th Ongina: 7.81

Highest Scores: 10 (Jimmy, 100), 8 (Aled, Cucumberella)

Lowest Scores: 5 (Lukuzz)

27th BenDeLa Crème: 8.13

Highest Scores: 10 (Simon, Lukuzz), 9.5 (Jimmy), 9 (Aled, Martyn), 8.5 (Davidson), 8 (Joe, LexC, Mackenzie, 100)

Lowest Scores: 6 (Kye)

26th Bebe Zahara Benet: 8.22

Highest Scores: 10 (Leonardo, 100), 9 (Jimmy), 8 (Davidson, LexC, Lukuzz, Aled)

Lowest Scores: 6 (152Chris)

 

Okay the last queen to be in the 7 averages is Season 1's Ongina. Ongina was a fabulous queen who was the front runner for most of Season 1, but after 1 slip up, found herself slayed by eventual winner Bebe and sent home in a lip sync to stronger by Britney. Her cute androgyny drag was a massive hit with judges and fans alike, and Ongina remains a massive fan favourite even now, and her absence from All Stars was questionable if you ask me. Her breakdown after the Viva Glam challenge remains one of the most heartbreaking yet triumphant moment of the entire series, and Ongina remains a massive advocate for the HIV & AIDS community to this day. I'd love to see her on AS2 if she were cast, as she continues to slay across all forms of social media, and she's be a tough one to beat!

 

Kicking off the 8 averages is Season 6's Bendela Creme. I love Dela, she was such a fun presence to have around on season 6, and I absolutely love her showgirl drag style that she displayed on the show. Dela appeared to be a big frontrunner throughout Season 6, obviously having her stumbles, but largely very consistent, and very good at a lot of the challenges. In fact before her elimination in week 10, I had pegged her as the only one who could catch Bianca Del Rio, to the crown. Obviously that was then f***ed over by the fact she was eliminated in the glitterball challenge, though to me was quite unlucky to be in the bottom over Courtney who literally had a sheet of fabric rapped around her torso. Having said that, the massive uproar when she left seemed a bit over dramatised to me, don't get me wrong, she should have been top 3 nevermind top 4, but Darienne was better in the lip sync, and therefore Dela had to be sent home. No matter though, as she remains to be loved by pretty much everybody :wub:

 

And then final of this bunch is season 1 winner, Bebe Zahara Benet. Bebe was fantastic in season 1. She was very strong in most challenges, only really messing up in the make up challenge, and a massive highlight of hers for me, was the dress she made in the construction challenge, where she used actual real raspberries as decoration for the garment. In terms of scores here, like Bendela, and Ongina, Bebe picks up a couple of 9s and 10s, and lots of 8s, and does a very good job of avoiding the really low scores, so her average didn't suffer that much. She might not be one of the highest placed winners here, but she is the original winner of Drag Race, and everyone knows the sequal is never as good as the original *cough* tyra sanchez *cough*

Bebe and Ongina were my favourites from season 1, but I haven't re-watched it once since the very first time it aired and I meant to give it a re watch before rating, oops. I remember being so shocked when they see both in the lip sync, and was so glad Bebe was the overall winner in the end. The talent has upped a lot since season 1, so she's naturally been over-shadowed by other favs of mine, but I still have a soft spot for her. Her most recent iconic moment was in season 8 when she got Acid Betty to move her hand from blocking her face!

 

I was always a Dela fan, but upon s show rewatch recently, I do think she wasn't AS GOOD as some people made her out to be.

24th Trinity K Bonet: 8.23

Highest Scores: 11 (152Chris), 10 (Oliver, Mackenzie), 9 (Leonardo, Kye, Davidson, Jimmy, Cucumberella)

Lowest Scores: 6 (Martyn, 100), 6.5 (Lukuzz)

24th Trixie Mattel: 8.23

Highest Scores: 10 (Kye, Oliver, 100), 9 (152Chris, Davison, Lexc, Mackenzie)

Lowest Scores: 5 (Simon), 6.5 (Aled)

 

In 24th we have a tie between season 7's 6th places queen, Trixie Mattel, and Season 6's 7th placed queen, Trinity K Bonet. Let's start with Trinity. Trinity got off to a great start in season 6, winning the first mini challenge and doing well in the first design challenge as well. She started to struggle shortly after though, acting challenges in particular proving tricky for Trinity to master. She had a tough time in the horror challenge, and then a week later really struggled in the Rusical and wound up in the bottom 2 alongside April Carrion, after slaying that amazing lip sync she then went onto struggle in the rap challenge, and wound up for elimination again, this time against Milk. After slaying yet another lip sync, there was a turning point with Trinity after being paired with Bianca in the commercial challenge, and turned it out, both being very strong, and unlucky not to win the challenge. She then really turned the corner in the comedy challenge making Ru get emotional in the judges critique after slaying so damn hard. Unfortunately a week later Trinity would find herself in trouble again after saying the wrong name in the interview challenge, however imo was very unlucky to be bottom two ahead of Joslyn, simply due to her phenomenal animal runway. Trinity has remained popular with fans, as she's spoken very openly about her flaws and how she's a working progress, and I think that's something everyone can relate Then we have makeup masterpiece Trixie Mattel. Trixie was an instantly loved queen on Season 7 due to her out their, hyper comical aesthetic. The most notable Trixie moment was her getting sent home in week 4, and causing absolute uproar among the DR community, after clearly out lip syncing Pearl. No matter, as she was brought back in week 8 after winning the make over challenge with Pearl, and would go on to last a further 2 weeks, and finish in 6th place. Despite being pretty much universally loved, she never really excelled at any of the challenges she was present for, however it's since leaving the show that Trixie has really shone. Her youtube show with Katya is insanely funny, and she's also a clever, hard working business bitch, who is making sure she remains relevant beyond her season. Love me some Trixie, keep making em laugh gurllll.

Trixie Mattel :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:
How did I miss the voting? Tyra looks so awkward at the back of that group photo!
