Yes agreed with Jujubee! She would've been a solid winner also.

 

Overall, it's the weakest season of All Stars for me personally though :(.

I kinda agree maybe! It was an odd season without even AS3's iconically bad moments

Definitely the worst aside from AS1

See with AS5, it was SO disappointing and that's what made it worse for me. To have a series with Cracker, Juju, Shea, Alexis etc. on the same stage should have been amazing, but there were flat challenges, a pointless "twist" in the lip sync assassin and odd judging/eliminations. It felt like Shea would win all along no matter what too, not to take away from the fact she did well and it's not that she DIDN'T deserve it, but it was one of many things that felt kinda off about the season and I couldn't really care when she did win. I actually think AS1 was probably slightly bettter lmao

60 Nina Bo'nina Brown 7.64

Season 9's Nina is arguably one of the most creative queens we've seen, some of her looks are insane and you wouldn't get anything like it from other queens. Sadly Nina was in her head for a lot of the season, and despite winning the first episode's Lady Gaga inspired challenge with her Alexander McQueen 2009 VMAs look and placing high in Snatch Game with a hilarious Jasmine Masters, Nina felt like she didnt believe in herself, didn't quite want to be there and didn't have her head in the game for much of the season, which had an impact on her performance as she plateaued further into the season, eventually losing her third lipsync to Shea Coulee after the makeover challenge.

 

59 Chad Michaels 7.67

All Stars 1 winner and Season 4 runner-up Chad is perhaps best known for setting the bar for Snatch Game with a flawless Cher in Season 4, having been a Cher impersonator prior to the show. Chad brought a level of experience and polish to the competition, having a great run with only a couple of low points, including a bottom 2 placement where she sent home Latrice following the canine inspired Ball challenge. She was always going to win All Stars 1, it was certainly deserved but honestly it kind of felt set up for her to win all along, like they regretted not being able to crown her over Sharon in S4, so wanted to rectify it right away.

 

58 Tammie Brown 7.70

Season 1's Tammie Brown is Drag Race's premier odd ball, often on her own planet in her own time :lol: Season 1 Tammie was eliminated in just episode 2, after giving up during the lipsync and just swaying along to Michelle Williams' We Break The Dawn, and she also lasted just two episodes in All Stars 1 alongside Nina Flowers, after messing up the Snatch Game-esque Gaff-In segment. Whatever you think of her, there is only one Tammie Brown and that's what we love, you couldn't replicate that odd zany charm she has just by being herself.

 

57 Akeria Chanel Davenport 7.71

Season 11 finalist Akeria had a good run on S11, winning both the LADP and Draglympics challenges, and only finishing in the bottom 2 once (where she sent home Ra'Jah), as well as lipsyncing in the infamous six-way mess during the Diva Worship challenge. She eventually fell at the final hurdle, losing a lipsync to the crown to Yvie. I was never that keen on Akeria but there were bigger fish to fry so she wasn't the worst (hello Silky).

 

56 Monet X Change 7.75

That fake death drop tho!! *.* Monet was unlucky on Season 10, never quite getting that challenge win despite placing high for four consecutive weeks, including as Maya Angelou in Snatch Game and Variety Show Cher in the Unauthorized Rusical. AS4 made up for that as she SOMEHOW got a joint win with Trinity, despite Trinity being one of the dominant forces of the season which Monet... was not).

Akeria is one of the most unmemorable top 4 contestants ever. Atleast Kameron was memorable for the wrong reasons.

Love Nina :wub: still think she is one of the most creative queens out there but she's sadly her own worst enemy.

 

Really love her interview with Tiffany Pollard, she made me scream!

55 Rita Baga 7.71

Canada's Francophone sweetheart Rita won three challenges (Eh-laganza Eh-xtravaganza, Single Use Queens and Star Sixty-Nine) in the first season of CDR, becoming a front-runner although her run plateaud with two consecutive lipsync appearances right before the final in the makeover and Ball, but she sent home fan faves Jimbo and Lemon in the process. Rita is a seasoned queen who was great, however I feel like what felt like real favouritism towards her (her winning Star Sixty-Nine is possibly the most bizarre challenge win in ANY Drag Race series I've ever seen, and that says a lot) sullied the series a bit. I do love her mix of fashion sense and camp though, and she's more funny and entertaining than she seemed at first, despite having a more muted personality than say Lemon or Priyanka.

 

54 Scarlet Envy 7.78 (one 10)

The most controversial elimination of Season 11 had to be Scarlet, who bowed out in the already odd Draglympics challenge. That was one of those challenges where you wondered it was even a thing, and compound that with the fact it was Ra'Jah who sent her home... Many fans believe she shouldn't have even been bottom 2 and many believe she should have won the lipsync anyway, she certainly had more to give :( Before she left, she attained a joint win with Yvie in the Get Out parody as well as being part of the infamous mess of a six way lipsync. Along with Mayhem and Madam Laqueer, she is actually the lowest placing queen to win a challenge, madness!!

 

53 Aja 7.78 (two 10s)

I believe Aja is the highest queen who has retired from drag; she is still active as a queer performer and rapper. Aja's run on Season 9 was marred and pretty much defined by the "Valentina your smile is BEAUTIFUL" saga, leaving Aja with a bit of a bad reputation and not many shining moments besides. Fast forward to AS3 and she smashed it right off the bat with a win in the talent show, featuring an iconic death drop *.* Honestly she should have won Snatch Game with Crystal LaBeija too, very odd they showed so little of an absolutely perfect portrayal! Of course, her second run was ended by Bebe, who cut Aja despite her helping Bebe with her winning outfits... We say robbed a LOT, but Aja on AS3 really was.

 

52 Jan 7.82

Very low compared to what I expected! Jan was a fan-fave on Season 11, never quite winning a challenge but there was considerable furore from fans when she didn't win the Madonna Rusical for her homage early Madonna, and many also thought she was the best in her premiere with her verse in You Don't Know Me (I'd be declined to agree tbh). She constantly brought energy and enthusiasm, attacking any challenge that came her way. I found Jan very overrated by the fans oops x

 

51 Scarlett Bobo 7.88

SCARLET BOBO LOOKS ARE A NO NO *.*

Falling before the top 50 is another one of Drag Race Canada's runner-ups, this time being Scarlett Bobo. For much of the season, Scarlett longed for that elusive challenge win, never placing low or bottom 2 and placing high many times, including a standout rap in Not Sorry Aboot It and a star turn in Star Sixty-Nine. She finally won the Ball in the last episode before the finale, cementing a run of highs, with some creative runways and a sense of style, but she failed to overcome Priyanka's raw star power in the finale.

All of them aside from Jan are big big favourites of mine- Aja in particular who is for sure in my top 5 ever

Jan is easily in my top 5. I see a lot of myself in her.

50 Throgy Thor 7.89

The robberies were plenty in AS3 but Thorgy is another one who fans point out freuqntly! Already starved of a challenge win on Season 8, narrowly missing out during Bitch Perfect, RuCo's Empire, Snatch Game, and the makeover), she placed high on the first episode of AS3 with her violin talent show performance, before crashing out in episode 2 after portraying Stevie Nicks in the Divas Rusical. I always thought that was some bullshit, she shouldn't have even been in the botom but that challenge felt set up for certain people to do well and others to fail. Thorgy is such a funny queen I so wanted to see more of on AS3 after she left us wanting more with her great run on S8. She of course is also remembered for being Chi Chi's opponent in the iconic And I Am Telling You lipsync, which is often touted as one of the best ever.

 

49 Trinity K. Bonet 7.92 (two 10s)

The lipsync assassin of Season 6, Trinity sent home April and Milk in incredible lipsyncs before bowing to the power of eventual runner-up Adore. Trinity was quite muted on the season, in a cast that had huge characters and shining stars, so I think she's often overlooked, but on rewatches, you do really appreciate what she brought to the show. I always love the moment in the stand-up episode where after struggling with feeling out of her comfort zone, she smashes it and Ru says how proud she is of how far Trinity came.

 

48 Yara Sofia 7.92 (three 10s)

Yara formed a core of the strong top 4 in S3, who arguably dominated the series, alongside her fellow Puerto Rican and friend Alexis Mateo. Yara didn't have the multiple challenge wins of the others, but she did nab Miss Congeniality and won fans over with her sweet and fun personality, often zany performances and strong looks. Not a fave of mine but I appreciate that she's one who kind of has the "language barrier" as a strength rather than a weakness, it's part of her charm when she messes something up almost.

 

47 Nina Flowers 7.96

From one Miss C to another, we have Season 1's Miss C and runner-up Nina Flowers! Nina won the first ever Drag Race challenge Drag On A Dime, and placed high for the rest of the season except a slip on the makeover. I feel like Nina is arguably the only one in Season 1 who could have made the final in other seasons, maaaaybe Bebe. Perhaps its me being biased that I've never been keen on Bebe, but it feels so odd that Nina didn't win Season 1.

 

46 Blu Hydrangea 8.00

A hugely creative make-up queen, Blu dazzled with her creative looks on Season 1 of Drag Race UK and became a fan fave. In winning the girl group challenge alongside Baga and Divina, her fellow Frock Destroyers, Blu was also the only challenge winner of the season who wasn't in the top 3. She served looks all season, was kind and really likeable, I feel like she could have been Miss Congeniality had DRUK done it (if not Cheryl).

love love love Yara

45 Vanessa Vanjie Mateo (no 11s)

The queen who seized a moment in her elimination, the first of Season 10, and spun her 15 minutes of fame into an iconic meme that won her a place on Season 11 where she finished in a more respectable fifth place, having a showmance with runner-up Brooke Lynn along the way. Vanjie just has IT, she didn't always excel at challenges, sometimes flatlined with her runway looks, but she has one of those personalities where she just lit up the screen and I'd argue kind of made S11 alongside Yvie and Nina. She didn't ever get a challenge win, but she did very well in a few, including Diva Worship and the Makeover.

 

44 Trixie Mattel 8.03 (one 11)

An All Star winner and one of the most popular and known queens, Trixie has come a long way from a muted run on Season 7, where she was eliminated fourth, came back and only lasted two weeks to eventually come 6th. She did only win AS3 because of the jury robbing Shangela, but she's gone from strength to strength, conquering music, releasing her own documentary film and fronting the popular web series UNHhhh alongside her bff Katya. Trixie doesn't always excel to show her best on the show, but she's got a unique sense of humour that people love - I could watch her Youtube channel ALL day :lol: She's seen as a bit of a basic "straight white girl watches Drag Race once" fave, I think she gets flack for that and that's maybe why she's low, way too low if you ask me :(

 

43 Pearl 8.07 (two 10s)

Just beating Trixie is the queen who first sent her home! Pearl was often a bit of a muted personality on Season 7 at first, who was criticized for not always taking the competition seriously, although she had enough fire in the end to blaze through to the final, where she was a runner-up. Along the way, she had two shared wins, one with Trixie in the makeover and one with Max in the DESPY awards. I'd love to see her again on All Stars but given her extremely fractured relations with RuPaul, she's very unlikely to return. I also have a mask I wear ALL the time to work that has "is there something on my face" on it, the continued impact of that fraught workroom interaction *.*

 

42 Brooke Lynn Hytes 8.07 (three 10s, no 11s)

Brooke recently became the first alumni to transfer to a judge, being a permanent judge on the incumbent season of Canada's Drag Race. Brooke pretty much dominated the whole season, winning three look based challenges (the premiere, the Monster Ball and the makeover) as well as proving her versatility with standout performances in challenges such as LADP and Trump the Rusical. I like Brooke a lot more since CDR when she had more of a chance to show her own personality, at times on S11 she was almost TOO perfect in a way that made her feel less likeable. One thing was certainly was not perfect though is her infamous god awful Celine Dion for Snatch Game, devoid of even one iota of comedy. But she made up for it when her and Yvie gave us what is possibly the best lipsync of all time (as in, iconic on BOTH parts not just one) before going on to become the top 2 of the season.

 

41 Asia O'Hara 8.07 (three 10s, one 11)

Just missing the top 40 is a season 10 finalist, edging out Brooke by virtue of getting an 11. Asia won two acting challenges in Tap That App and Breastworld, and also had some great runway looks to become a strong finalist for the season, although her run went down in flames with THAT infamous butterfly moment in the Nasty lipsync... Asia seems to be doing a lot for WOW and also appeared on Celebrity Drag Race as well as spin-offs such as Vegas Revue, she's never been my fave but I liked her a lot more on Celebrity Drag Race. I'd not be shocked to see her on All Stars sooner rather than later!

Trixie lower than Pearl! Pearl is iconic for her takedown of Ru but she was shite at Drag Race and coasted on her looks the whole season.

 

Asia I've always been underwhelmed by too even before RSPCA-gate. Vanjie on the flip I think deserves top 40! What does she have? IT!

Would definitely have Trixie and Vanjie in my Top 40, very low for both of them

40 Ginger Minj 8.08

Kicking off our top 40 is a Season 7 runner-up in Ginger, who also had a muted run on All Stars 2. Ginger smashed Snatch Game, Glamazonian Airways and Divine Inspiration to obtain 3 wins on Season 7, but amongst all the huge characters and contenders in AS2, she just didn't get much screentime and faded away. Many people feel Ginger was robbed and should have won Season 7, Violet is a great winner but Ginger is one of those you feel should have won too, it's a difficult one.

 

39 Courtney Act 8.10

Season 6 runner-up Courtney is one of the few queens to branch out to other reality TV, as she won Celebrity Big Brother in the UK and also was a runner-up in Australia's Dancing With The Stars, as well as getting her first big break in Australian Idol years prior to Drag Race. Courtney was critcised at times in Season 9 for "resting on pretty", but nonetheless won two main challenges in Shade: The Rusical and Queens Of Talk. I remember HATING her on the season, but she's really shone and gone from strength to strength when she is on TV on her own terms, she was amazing in Big Brother and an amazing, satisfying winner who was just lovely, warm and actually really important to have on UK TV, for people who don't know about drag and are a bit stuck in their ways about gender, she won the public over and educated them during a series that had the ignorance of Ann Widdecombe and the insanity of India "scared of drag queens" Willoughby.

 

38 Nina West 8.14

I think Nina made top 10 off of recency bias last time, oops bit of a fall :lol: Season 11's Miss Congeniality absolutely sums up EVERYTHING about the award, she just seems like the most lovely person ever, and tbh having met her, she actually is, one of those who genuinely really appreciates you coming out to her show and supporting her. Nina didn't always excel in what Season 11 threw at her, but she won Diva Worship and the magic show, and always had her signature charm even when she failed (except that DEAD lipsync to No Scrubs but we like to just forget that one).

 

37 Alexis Mateo 8.21

Fresh off a run in All Stars 5, Season 3 runner-up Alexis Mateo seized her second chance at All Stars, ultimately finishing fifth after strong performances in the talent show and Snatch Game (latterly as Walter Mercado), as well as being a part of the infamous plot to strategically vote out Shea that snowballed into drama between Alexis and India through the season. Fans were divided on whether India or Alexis were lying, it was high drama that actually was one of the only things worth it when you think about AS5 :lol: In her original run, Alexis smashed the season with wins in Queens In Space, Totally Leotarded and Life, Liberty & The Pursuit Of Style, becoming a runner-up behind Raja, and she was also one of the many queens with a messy AS1 run due to the pairs twist.

 

36 Cheryl Hole 8.23

The self-proclaimed mediocre queen of Drag Race UK, Cheryl finished low or bottom two in 5/7 episodes, finally being sent home by Baga Chipz after the makeover challenge. Cheryl is loved by fans for her personality and perseverance, she kept going no matter how much she flopped and was always a strong personality. She's not my fave tbh as I think she was awful and pretty basic throughout, personality deinitely matters a lot but you still have to give SOMETHING in the actual challenges :lol:

Wow. Cheryl is a big high. Also think Nina West is overrated. Glad Ginger is top 40

Cheryl’s podcast is FAB

 

Vanjie's Diva Worship 'Thank you, Miss Vanjie! [a beat] I thanked myself!!!' is a big LOL moment :lol:

I think Nina made top 10 off of recency bias last time

Top 5 actually :lol: this is a far more fitting placement lmao
