May 1, 20187 yr Author 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 :( 5th Season 3 8.14 http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xEb7c9WMSyw/TbXjKRniksI/AAAAAAAAAqg/6aHhvDXKq34/s1600/PWYJ_RPDR_S3_Predictions.jpg 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 :o 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.
May 1, 20187 yr 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!
May 1, 20187 yr 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
May 1, 20187 yr 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!
May 2, 20187 yr Author 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 :rofl:) 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 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.
May 2, 20187 yr Author 22nd Courtney Act 8.19 http://imageslogotv-a.akamaihd.net//uri/mgid:file:http:shared:s3.amazonaws.com/articles.newnownext.com-production/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/courtney-act-1473704427.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 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 :lol:
May 2, 20187 yr 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!
May 2, 20187 yr 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.
May 2, 20187 yr 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
May 2, 20187 yr 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.
May 2, 20187 yr 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 ~
May 5, 20187 yr Author 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 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: 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.
May 5, 20187 yr So f***ing glad Trinity Taylor is the highest queen from S9 on here. Sometimes justice is served.
May 7, 20187 yr Author 18th Manilla Luzon 8.61 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) 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
May 7, 20187 yr 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 Who was 17th? or was Kim Chi 17th? EDIT - Oh its a tie (my bad) Edited May 7, 20187 yr by ElectroBoy
May 7, 20187 yr Yas at Willam top 20! :wub: Probably didn't showcase herself the best on Drag Race but the things I've seen her in post show are hilarious. I loved her dropping lines about what she'd been in during the show :lol: 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.
May 7, 20187 yr Author 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 Who was 17th? or was Kim Chi 17th? EDIT - Oh its a tie (my bad) Nah she was 17th I just didn't break the ties as I was writing up (just when I post them) and forgot to change the numbers with 16th :lol:
