Shaun ranks: every RuPaul's Drag Race queen (50th place)
This is something I've been wanting to do for a while since I'm sure I've probably spat acid at everyone at some point in the main thread
The entire thread is, of course, subjective, so don't get too pressed if I put Alyssa Edwards way down in 79th (spoiler: I don't). I will try to take as much into consideration as I can, but I'll happily admit I've not seen a single one of these queens live and as such can't testify to their full potential. The show & untucked, their social media presence, and also interviews on shows like Hey Qween and What's The T, are pretty much my resources here. Without further ado... the queen I am putting rock bottom is... Spoiler: |
Wow perched for this :clap1:
I forgot Miss Pinay even existed :skull: trash |
I was expecting to see Delta behind that spoiler tag (if not just because her recent... efforts with Ru have tanked her stock even further), but I've absolutely no qualms with Vivienne being bottom!
|
Also iirc the Haus of Edwards cut their ties with Vivienne after princesswiggate
|
I only have the vaguest recollection of her so I assume that means she was trash.
(I'm working on getting the subforum, give me time to plead the case) |
I remember Vivienne refused to join the other queens for Miley's performance at the VMA's because she was upset she didn't get a close-up during the rehearsal. The best thing about Vivienne was Porkchop's rants on Periscope about her unwarranted diva attitude throughout the ordeal.
I'm so excited for this, Shaun. I'm ready for some of my faves (mainly Cracker and Milk) to be slain early on this ranking. I forgive you already, lmao. |
I don't think there's a MAJOR cull (like, anyone beyond episode 7) until.... oh 103rd. Turns out I am hateful after all.
|
Please be Derrick Berry.
|
Actually, please be Pearl.
|
What happened with Delta Work? I really liked her in Season 3.
|
Beside the obvious candidates who seem to exist only to populate the bottom tenth of these lists (the Phoenixes, the Venus D-Lites, the Alisa Summerses of this world), I'm rooting for Tempest, Carmen and Charlie to sashay out of this ranking as soon as possible
And then there are the likes of Pearl, Milk, Cracker (...any synonym for 'white', basically), Trixie, Dela, Pandora, Detox and Raven who I don't particularly care for at best, but deserve at least top 100 because despite my best attempts, I can't begrudge their talent. And Pearl. |

Adoré screAMING at how she said it :joker::joker:

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/17/48...c915c84cba.gif 125th Place: Venus D-Lite (Season 3) - finished last My first "first eliminated" mention goes to Venus D'Lite, hands down one of the most uncomfortable pathological liars to emerge from the circuit and a weird self-aggrandizing ego to boot. On the show, you may have missed her... in her first episode she was only shown in the Workroom really throwing shade at Phoenix for copying her idea of crushing up baubles and using the glass as decoration for their outfits. She was then told by the judges she had over-accessorised and presented an underwhelming mess. The lipsync with Shangela - to Vanessa Williams' "The Right Stuff", in front of Vanessa Williams herself - is one of the show's messier and this is from a season that includes India/Mimi. Venus essentially stalks Shangela around the stage, grabbing parts of her costume and trying to choke her with them, and then throws her own ponytail towards the back of the stage at the other girls (prompting Mariah to quote, "if she'd-a hit me with that hair, I'd probably have to sock her.") RuPaul says he's uncomfortable at the end. By all means, it's an awkward hit! But for all the wrong reasons. On the subject of Mariah actually: :flutter: Venus D'Lite has spent tens, or hundreds if you believe her, of thousands of dollar on cosmetic surgery to look like Madonna. The final result, you ask? https://peopleysk2.s3-us-west-2.amaz...1wtYX2x8BKQpmy Hmm! Recently she has appeared on 'My Strange Addiction' (with aforementioned Madonna surgery), taken shots at Milk for booking a collaboration gig with Madonna, implied that she, alone, was responsible for Shangela being cast again on Drag Race by saying it "was her biggest fear" :crazy: and... oh yeah, exploited a fan's suicidal thoughts to try and look like a hero. I don't know if I "hate" Venus D'Lite, because it's almost comical really, but I just get an overwhelming impression that she is, 100%, not a good person. And a pretty lacklustre queen to boot. Memorable quote(s): "You can be my friend or you can be my enemy, just say it to my face." (this is... 12 minutes into a season. Really girl.) Best Runway(s): n/a Best Moment(s): Santino saying she looks like "a sad Christmas elf". |
Mariah :love:

As far as first boots go, Venus isn't my least favourite. I'm glad she left first, though. In a season as fantastic as S3, I don't see what more Venus could've contributed to its quality. I want to say that she's generally harmless, but then I remember that horrific (yet hilarious, sorry) moment you mentioned with the suicidal fan.
I’d probably have a bit higher in my ranking, but only because I know there are a few more queens I genuinely dislike more than Venus. Also, part of me does appreciate the absurdity of having three or four different Madonna looks for a Hey Queen interview. I can imagine Jonny and Lady Red just sitting there awkwardly waiting and then pretending to care when she comes back. |
I can't Ripley's Believe It or Not that Venus is out so early!
|
Roxxxy out next

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...20140313023614 124th Place: Magnolia Crawford (Season 6) - finished joint-last Sometimes I - and I'm sure you, too - wonder who would have gone home first if season six had started with all 14 queens together, tackling a TV shows-inspired sewing challenge. Would Kelly Mantle really have been B2 over Joslyn, Laganja, Adore and Darienne? Who knows. One thing's for sure though: Magnolia Crawford emerged from season 6 as the biggest loser, with the absolute worst attitude. The owner of a real name that's far more interesting than her drag name (and indeed a male face that's far more appealing), Magnolia reportedly quit drag after her disastrous S6 showing and the negativity from the season spilled into what is probably the most awkward finale interview of all time. Claiming she hadn't watched the season prompted a rare moment of upfront shade from RuPaul ("I can't... I can't with her.") She spent Untucked and her lipstick message interview saying she was only there for exposure, and that any publicity is good publicity... which is perhaps why we keep hearing about that Magnolia Crawford four years down the line! Memorable quote(s): "I'm Magnolia Crawford and I am Seattle's sexiest dr- no I'm not sexy. I am Seattle's funniest- well I'm not funny, either." (At least she had a disclaimer!) "I'm not changing for no motherfuckin' Michelle Vie-sarge." Best Runway(s): n/a Best Moment(s): "I've got a god-damned bow on my ass!" followed by immediate rejection from Santino/Michelle. |
I'm holding out for a Miss Vanjie win tbh
|
Bye Magnolia was a scream
|
Perched for this :love: let Magnolia live god damn it!
|
"Yes, I should've kept my big fat ****ing mouth shut. I can't, though. I like how I sound."
I'm not gonna lie, I did like Magnolia for the soundbites she provided during her only episode. I think she had potential, but she was out of her depth in such a strong cast. The whole exposure thing was an attempt to retain dignity and power over the situation because she knew she was going home. Another one of my underrated favourite's: (Magnolia walks over to Joslyn who has almost finished her dress) "Oh. You've created a production." |
Magnolia :love:-ish
Apparently she's started doing drag again? whew look out AS4! |
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...20160506223823 123rd Place: Dax ExclamationPoint (Season 8) - finished joint-last Some of these rankings may look a little harsh and in all good conscience I am quite aware that they're all capable of good things and good art, so please don't construe these low positions for disrespect (unless I out-and-out trash you, I guess?) Dax ExclamationPoint... my recollection heading into season eight was that she, one of the early rumours of the cast, was hyped a lot because she was the drag-mother of Violet Chachki. Now, whilst Drag Race has a penchant for tearing down the queens with the most hype and most obvious path/connection to success, I really didn't expect Dax's performance to be what it was. The editing was extremely dirty in episode two, and that huge prefix of the lipsync with Lucian Piane and RuPaul saying it's the biggest gay anthem of all time, it can't *not* be good, etc., was completely unnecessary and was only included to serve as a big smack for underwhelming. Because there have been far more boring lipsyncs since then that didn't result in a double-sashay (Shea/Nina, Jaymes/Kimora, Farrah/Cynthia) and it's already a kick in the teeth to go home early on, without this insult to injury. That said, it's hard to feel that bad for Dax when even her exit interview was just... blasé and negative (even pretending to not know what Laila's name was, despite them exiting together). She was read for having misshapen padding and managed to make a Hello Kitty runway - the same theme her bloody daughter CAME THRUUUUU in!!! - look boring and then had an ugly seaweed/yellow dress combo afterwards that couldn't even be saved by her ripping the yellow off and waving it around in the lipsync. I will say this in her defence though: that Bitch Perfect challenge was terrific and it sucked that someone had to go home for it, let alone two people. Memorable quote(s): "I look forward to a nap. And vodka. Lots of vodka." Best Runway(s): n/a (both sucked, sorry :( ) Best Moment(s): The look of dissatisfaction on Mathu Andersen's face when she goes "YAY!" as her idea of being 'bigger' in the Winners' Circle photoshoot. |
I knew I'd meant to include someone else in my Tempest/Carmen/Charlie trifecta... turns out it was Dax, so good call!
To her credit, I guess she 'won' the infamous I Will Survive lip sync, but even that's in the same, very notional way that Honey 'won' against Vivienne |
Excuse you I enjoyed the Farrah/Cynthia lipsync
