Hannah Conda - I liked this queen and was an obvious contender from the very start. Although I do feel for her given her robotic edit in which she said a lot of her volleys with Ru were cut out, but anyway her and Spanky dominated the far better season 2 of 'DRDU', so there's hope for this series yet. Shea Coulee - One of my all-time favourite Queens, she's so hard working and incredibly versatile, her runways are amazing as always. I enjoyed her on all 3 seasons she appeared in & should have had more wins on AS7, namely the girlgroup challenge where her and Monet should have been the top 2. I know favourtism got her to the final 4, but I don't care because that was the final 4 I wanted. Black Peppa - I really feel for her after dominating episode 1 by winning the mini & maxi challenge, which gave us strong winner of the series vibes, but everything backfired as the season went on she felt very diminished. Anyway I would love to see her comeback on a future all-stars season. Kerri Colby - She did get a lot of favoritism on S14 and she knew it, but I liked Kerri & wished that she injected more of her wonderful personality into the challenges, as she had the potential. Lemon - Quite high for a first out & yes she deserved far better given that her talent show was far better than Jujubee, Blu, Baga, Mo Heart, Janey & Cheryl. UKVTW was a dumpster fire of a season anyway.

Le Fil - They really deserved better, how in hell was Le Fil low for the Rusical episode, the performance and runway was fantastic, but was treated like a le-filler (pardon the pun). Jorgeous - I actually quite liked Jorgeous, sure it felt like that she was just there to dance and be pretty & a lot of her challenge performances were a bit questionable (as well as her win), but she was a solid lipsyncer, but 5 times & only sending one person home. Kaos - I found their aesthetic really interesting, its a little punk, a little grotesque mixed with horror. Perhaps they could have showed a bit more variety in their runways, but out of drag they were kinda hot. Maddy Morphosis - Maddy was low key a funny queen & did very well in those acting challenges & deserved at least 1 high placement for one of them. Okay her runways could have done with a bit more polish, but she was likeable enough. Anita Wigl’it - Loved her DUS1, but failed to shine on CvsTW, which is a shame & her elimination was fair though. Bombae - I thought that she would have been more of a heavy contender after the first episode, but kinda fell off after episode 4 & its a shame as she had so much potential & should have listened to the judges about her make-up skills. Would be interested to see her on an all-stars season & smash it. Irma Gerd - Quite likeable with some decent runways (namely the sleeves & paint looks), her track record was all over the place high-low-high-low. But did enjoy her for the most part. Yvie Oddley - Always a joy to watch on S11 & AS7, unique, talented and all-round fantastic queen.

Picking this back up with Season 5 of RuPaul's Drag Race which aired 10 years ago back in 2013 & was the first to feature a double elimination. There are 12 lipsyncs from this season & thanks to Alyssa & Coco we had some of the most iconic performances we've ever seen. So just pick your fave & least fave from the polls above. The list of the season 5 lipsyncs with the winners in BOLD Penny Tration vs Serena Cha Cha - (Party in the U.S.A.) Monica Beverly Hillz vs Serena Cha Cha - (Only Girl (In The World) Coco Montrese vs Monica Beverly Hillz - (When I Grow Up) Honey Mahogany vs Vivienne Pinay - (Oops I Did It Again) Detox vs Lineysha Sparx - (Take Me Home) Coco Montrese vs Jade Jolie - (I'm So Excited) Alyssa Edwards vs Roxxxy Andrews - (Whip My Hair) Alyssa Edwards vs Ivy Winters - (Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But The Rent) Alyssa Edwards vs Coco Montrese - (Cold Hearted) Coco Montrese vs Detox - (Two To Make It Right) Detox vs Jinkx Monsoon - (Malambo No1) Alaska vs Jinkx Monsoon vs Roxxxy Andrews - (The Beginning)

Kendell Gender - Not much to say about her run on 'CVTW', but fully deserved her bottom placement as she did mess up a couple of moves and can see why they voted her off first. Starlet - Not a bad track record for a 2nd out, placing high on the first episode before getting eliminated the following week. However her exit was fair being one of those fashion queens who struggle with performances, but she was funny and her elimination was iconic. Rita Baga - I honestly don't mind her, I wasn't mad that she was top 2 for the first episode as she was the strongest on her team & did find her lipsync against Vanity quite funny in a crazy aunt sort of way. Alyssa Hunter - She was treated unfairly on the show & the looks she had planned for the other runways were amazing (seriously check them out), she would have been the runway queen of season 14. I heard that production were trying to cast her as the villain of season 14 but she gave them nothing to work with & that's probably why she was eliminated so early. Cheryl Hole - She really deserved better & hoped that the early spoilers were true that Cheryl made the top 4, but sadly that didn't happen. Apparently she was a last minute replacement for Divina De Campo, which may have explained why her runways were underwelmning. Beverly Killz - Bev's & Cheryl's track records were quite similar in the way that both they're best performances were on the girl group challenges, but neither won or placed high due to being on the losing team. Obviously cast to cause drama & none of her challenge or runways performances wowed me to be honest. Minnie Cooper - Now this queen really caused some drama & it was fun. Thankfully she wasn't treated badly for ageism & she had a strong run for her short time on the show. OMG that lipsync though that was a choice. Kween Kong - Surprised she's so low, I actually loved her on the show & along with Spanky had perhaps the best storyline on the season. One of the most beautiful people that's ever been on the show & seriously could listen to them talk for hours. It was always a joy to watch and listen to her & okay her track record wasn't the most consistant, but her lipsyncs were amazing & she did get there in the end, fully earned her win for that makeover challenge.

Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah

Halal Bae - The first queen with facial hair to appear on Drag Race & shame she went first as she seemed loveable and quite sweet. Jujubee - What a disappointment, didn't even try on the train-wreck that was 'UK Vs The World' & still somehow made it to the final. Her looks were tragic, her track record was tragic & even her 1 challenge win was questionable, her verse was much shorter than everybody else's. This just goes to show that production shouldn't force somebody on the show if they don't want to do it. Deja Skye - Despite lasting so long on such a neverending season she barely made any impression given the severe under edit she got. It was questionable that it took 9 episodes for her to finally win a challenge & that was only because everybody did worse than her. Controversial opinion I think that if Kornbread wasn't taken out by an injury then Deja would have been pushed out earlier, just my opinion. Chelazon Laroux - Another early out on Canada S3, not much to say really, she did show potential in EP 2 with that high placement, but then got eliminated in the following episode in that awful dance challenge. Pixie Polite - I feel bad for her as she could have had the season's most interesting storyline, but production did nothing with it & instead kept her in Danny's shadow with no pay-off. Blu Hydrangea - Liked her on UK S1, but not so much on 'UK Vs The World', dunno why I just couldn't connect with her & winning wasn't earned at all given her underwelnming run & how in the hell did she win 3 lipsyncs, she's one of the worst lipsyncers I've ever seen, she does the same tantrum throwing moves, awkward facial expressions & awful deathdrop. She didn't really excell in any of the challenges in my opinion, even in snatch game she was runner up to Baga & everybody else was awful.

The second set of results: Mary Poppinz - The 'Karen From Finance' of DRDU2, she should have went home in the Girl-Group challenge as Yuri won that lipsync in my opinion, then maybe I would have liked Molly better. Miss Moco - Don't remember much about this Queen, another forgettable early out. Orion Story - Yep I agree she was cast as a filler Queen, didn't find her makeup skills all that great & needed bigger eyelashes as her eyes look tiny. Although I will say that her talent show had potential, but yes it missed the mark & none of her other challenge performances were all that memorable in my opinion. Copper Topp - I do think she should have stuck around longer & didn't deserve her bottom 2 placement as it should have been Black Peppa & Jonbers Blonde. Considering there were several comedy challenges after her elimination, production obviously wanted her out as she could have potentially done well in them. Aubrey Haive - Nothing to say about this one sadly, I don't recall her at all. Probably the most forgotten Queen from DRDU 2. Stephanie Prince - It has been revealed that a lot of the cast on CVSTW weren't production's first choices & I think that Stephanie was one of them, it was far too soon for her comeback, despite some stunning runways she really struggled and again clapped back at advice in the first episode. Jada Shada Hudson - I'm actually surprised she's so low, okay she was dragged to the finals & didn't deserve 2nd place, but she was okay & did have a few standout moments like in the dance challenge which she won & the Cosmetic's commercial.

My thoughts on the first set of results Faux Fur - Not surprised she's last considering she was first out & didn't have a good edit & she was very annoying. Pomara Fifth - MEH very forgettable, don't remember her all that much TBH. Baga Chipz - I did like her on UKS1 (until the last couple of episodes), but on UKVSTW, unlikeable to the MAX and SHOULD have been in the bottom for that dreadful design look (which she didn't even make). Her only shining moment was Snatch Game, which came too late in the season and should have been on episode 2 or 3 & then Baga could have been a shocking early elimination, which would have made great TV as she wouldn't take it well & probably storm off the stage like she did on that 'Celebrity Karaoke Club'. Just May - Probably one of the most obvious first out's in Drag Race history, limited make-up skills & unpolished looks as well as basically giving up in the lipsync. June Jamblaya - She was nice, but needed a bit more fine tuning for 'Drag Race' & focus on the details.
