PURSE FIRST! Missing the top 10 by a measly 0.1 is our reigning champion Bob The Drag Queen. While Bob would make my personal top 10, I think she's finished in the right place here. As I was Team Bob right from the off, I'm obviously happy to see her finish highest of the season 8 queens, even if none of them make the top 10, and I was very happy to see her walk away the winner of the show. One thing I hope is once the dust has properly settled, fans from Bob and Kim who fought about the decision on tumblr/twitter etc can calm down and appreciate the queen on the other side, because I think what was truly great about this season was the top 3 was the best the show had ever had, all of them had a claim for winning, especially Bob and Kim, and it was gonna be hard for whoever came out runner up. Obviously I thought Ru made the correct decision, on the show Bob had the best record winning three challenges, being top 3 for several, and lip syncing once, so for me she earned the win; but obviously as a fan of Kim too, I see the argument from that side too. I'm really very excited to see where Bob goes from here, obviously she'll probably follow a similar route to Bianca, and do lots of comedy tours, which I'll definitely have to check out. In recent news Raven and Bob have had an online spat over Purse Purse, as Raven Facebooked: "f*** YO PURSE", Bob retorted, both got abuse, especially Raven. Raven made a video condemning some of the comments she received, and Raven fans started the hashtag #f***YOPURSE, while Bob fans hashtagged #PurseFirstRavenSecond. Mess.

yesss bob, sounds about rite!

Well that's my prediction totally wrong already.

 

Bob's Empire challenge was truly one of the best we've ever seen on an acting challenge in Rupaul EVER. Just so good, and I kinda knew Bob had won the show from then on. Poor Thorgy. Outside that, I don't find Bob quite as funny as some of the other comedy queens we've seen and I am a bit :/ about her looks. However, he has a certain spark and I can totally see why he's so loved.

This looks was criminal tbh

 

but this one:

that was fierce

Lmao at that first one. The second one was the best for sure, but the rest of the final four all did better.

i didnt much LOVE the black and white one either, it was still messy

 

my fave look was definitely 100% in the ruco empire - FLAWLESS

Agree with that one! For me, I'd personally throw Chad out at #11 now.

 

My ideal order would be:

 

1. Jinkx

2. Bianca

3. Adore

4. Raven

5. Alaska

6. Sharon

7. Katya

8. Latrice

9. Jujubee

10. Raja

11. Chad

 

I don't expect it'll go anything like that but hoping Jinkx can do as well as possible, I seem to think she missed top 10 last year!

11th Raja: 9.07

Highest Scores: 11 (Davidson, Aled, LexC), 10 (100, Oliver), 9.5 (Lukuzz, Jimmy), 9 (Martyn, Joe, Cucumberella, Kye)

Lowest Scores: 6 (152Chris)

 

Just missing out on the top 10 by an agonizing 0.06 is the last of the season 3 queens, Raja. Raja stormed to victory back in season 3, while Manila put up a good fight, there was not a single moment throughout season 3 where is wasn't obvious Raja would win. That's not a bad thing, while she might not have been my absolute favourite Season 3 queen, she 100% earned it. Raja was the first queen to really change the game. Obviously Sharon would come along in season 4, and completely turn the game on it's head, but Season 3 was the first to switch out the tried and tested polished, sequence gowns, for edgy high fashion; and Raja was at the for front of that. Off the top of my head, there is only 1 runway of Raja's that didn't me take a seat, which was her make over challenge look which in consequence would put her in the bottom 2 for the first and only time that season; and all her other looks, probably make up a lot of my favourites that have been on the show. She's also insanely charming, and funny; which personally I think is the biggest factor as to why she won, as she almost had the killer combo of insanely fashion forward, but also insanely lovable; and while I might not have always agreed with the way the Heathers went about their business re: the other queens, they're all friends now, so no T Swift levels of bad blood here. Since leaving the show, Raja remains a fashion icon, has worked as a make up artist for Igloo Australia, and toots it and boots it on Fashion Photo Ruview with Raven. Thrilled, and not surprised to see her do this well.

Gays, and more gays, your top 10:

 

Season 2:

Raven

Jujubee

 

Season 4:

Chad Michaels

Sharon Needles

Latrice Royale

 

Season 5:

Jinkx Monsoon

Alaska

 

Season 6:

Adore Delano

Bianca Del Rio

 

Season 7:

Katya

 

:wub:

Raja is fantastic, and while I'm not sure if I preferred Manilla at the time, I agree that Raja is really responsible for Drag Race really upping its game. If you look at Season 2 and Season 4/5. It's just such a huge evolvement, and I really put a lot of that down to Raja and season 3 raising the bar.

 

 

Yesssss at Jinkx making the top 10 this time round. :heart:

Jinkx to win, please and thank you.

raja a 6 *ok chris*

I generally don't care for the ~aesthetic~ side of the show or drag in general but I still really dig Raja's androgynous look that she's done a lot of so I make an exception for her.

 

Jujubee is the only one I'm not a huge fan of out of the top 10 but the rest are all LEGENDARY (ohkurry). Jinkx/Bianca/Sharon/Alaska/Latrice would be the perfect top 5.

Just thought I'd hark back to where the queens finished in last year's rate:

 

01 katya

02 jujubee

03 alaska

04 latrice

05 bianca

07 adore

10 sharon

11 jinkx

15 raven

20 chad

Was really hoping Raja could pull through into the top 10. I think she only came about 17th last year (and was beaten by Manila) so 11's an improvement I guess. I honestly feel like I could talk endlessly about my love of her. I'd watched and enjoyed the first two seasons, but I'd say I only really 'got' Drag Race properly when I was watching Raja on Season 3. She's also so lovely in person.

 

Willam should be higher, and vile personalities or not I wouldn't have placed the likes of Phi Phi or Roxxxy anywhere near as low as they are. I feel like a lot of the Season 8 queens are too high, it's difficult comparing them to the other queens when the season's so fresh but I wouldn't have Thorgy and Naomi ahead of Manila, Alyssa and Violet on any day.

 

Juju and Chad are the weak links of the remaining ten for me.

I don't imagine plenty of these Season 8 queens will be as high next year, Violet came about 13th last year. We'll see if Katya wins again but if not, that may be another example of Season 7 hype fading away slightly.

i'm still not sure what it is that makes me unable to love raja as much as i should. i i think i get kind of insincere vibes from her.

Love Raja, I'm still on her season right now but she made such an impression on me from the get go.

Bob.. I really didn't like at first and it took a while for me to warm to. Ultimately the right winner. Amazing actor and the performance in the finale was amazing.

 

Willam was good and had some real moments but needed to shave and get a lot better at make-up during the show.

Let's get the top 10 started bitches, also predics at who you think is gonna win, and who you think won't make top 5, if you haven't already!! :P

10th Chad Michaels: 9.13

Highest Scores: 11 (Joe, Martyn), 10 (Kye, Oliver), 9.5 (Jimmy, Lukuzz), 9 (Davidson, Mackenzie, Cucumberella, 152Chris)

Lowest Scores: -

 

Kicking off the top 10 is Mother Dust, Chad Michaels; Season 4 runner up, and All Stars Winner. While I would personally swap Chad with Willam, I'm not gonna complain about Chad's placing here, because tbh, she is more than worthy of placing in the top 10. Chad got a phenomenal set of scores, and her worst score was 1 7.5, and a couple of 8s. Outstanding really. Chad is the ultimate professional, never really putting a foot wrong in Season 4, and remained consistent and Sharon's biggest competition right from the off. Her Snatch Game, imo, is the best the show has ever had: unbelievably funny; but then Cher is what this bitch does, so it was no surprise. I know a group of the fans question her AS win, but tbh, I have no problems with it at all. IMO she was the best on AS, and deserved to win, and even if Ru only made AS to give Chad the crown, I'm fine with that tbh, because this seasoned queen deserved one. I mean let's be real, if Chad had been on any of the seasons before season 4, she'd have walked it. She's a phenomenal queen, and very happy to see her do well enough to come top 10 here. SNAP OUT OF IT!!?!!
