April 22, 20187 yr Author Shocker the same people as usual bashing Trixie :lol: I really fail to see how being embarrassingly loud and OTT in front of the man himself is so great but whatever I guess.
April 22, 20187 yr Shocker the same people as usual bashing Trixie :lol: I really fail to see how being embarrassingly loud and OTT in front of the man himself is so great but whatever I guess. 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 :D Edited April 22, 20187 yr by ElectroBoy
April 22, 20187 yr Both were pretty terrible. Jessica’s was kinda funny in a ‘so bad it’s good’ kinda way I guess
April 22, 20187 yr Pandora way too low :( 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 Edited April 22, 20187 yr by Conderella
April 23, 20187 yr I thought Trixie's was way more realistic as Rupaul than jessica was. Rupaul isnt that crazy in Jessica's protrayal. Pandora so low :( 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.
April 23, 20187 yr Author 45th Stacy “Henny” Layne Matthews 6.80 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 :lol: 44th Newark, LaGuardia, Kennedy Davenport 6.85 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 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 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 :o
April 23, 20187 yr 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
April 23, 20187 yr 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. Edited April 23, 20187 yr by ElectroBoy
April 23, 20187 yr i love gia so much more now through youtube and her appearances in other shows than on the actual show
April 23, 20187 yr 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 THIS!! She is like bang on the line between ironic stanning and being a genuine fave for me, she's brilliant
April 23, 20187 yr Ginger Minj deserved to stay top 40 just for that Adele performance :lol: Gia Gunn and Miss Fame :wub: I gave her 10 just for her aesthetics outside the show...she is gorgeous :heart:
April 24, 20187 yr Author 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 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.
April 24, 20187 yr 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.
April 24, 20187 yr 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 :lol:
April 25, 20187 yr Author 38th Pearl 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.
April 25, 20187 yr Author Oops nearly forgot about the season rate :P 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 :lol: 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 :lol:
April 25, 20187 yr 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:
April 25, 20187 yr 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!
April 26, 20187 yr 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.
