88th Place: Jade Jolie (Season 5) - finished 8th

As "meh" as her impersonation of Taylor Swift during the S5 Snatch Game was, in a way it was a perfect choice for Jade Jolie: because despite a heavy "holier than thou" sugary, innocent exterior, there is a rotted nasty beast in Taylor Swift and I think Jade went extra method in capturing that throughout season 5.

Now, I don't hate Jade, and actually think she was great reality TV and contributed a hell of a lot of drama that wasn't just the same old "Alyssa vs. Coco" tedium that season 5 would later become. But she is definitely on the meaner side of the Drag Race spectrum and would not let miss Alyssa Edwards live she definitely chose the wrong ally in Coco.

Jade's time on the show was pretty lacklustre: she gave okay performances in Snatch Game and the ballet, but never came close to shining and was pretty obviously a filler queen. Then, if she lasted longer, perhaps the knowledge that she has starred in gay porn themed around Nazis would be a little more common. Which we don't want, really, and is why I won't mention it now.

She read the hell out of Serena though, and for that, I love her.

Memorable quote(s): "I am happy with what I got from the dumpster "
"Serena said she went to art school. She might want her money back."
"Girl you ain't that pretty. Covergirl not coverboy, baby."
"Girl if I was gonna judge anyone, I'd judge you on that body where the shoulders should match them hips, but they don't, so... girl you had rolls, all over the back! It was disgusting!"
Best Runway(s): Definitely her ringleader thing that I've used in the GIF above.
Best Moment(s): I still get life whenever she does these weird knee-kicks and flicks during the lipsync vs. Coco, with her random af strands of hair flailing around her body
