Exclamation 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 and until we get a subforum where we can have threads specifically devoted to Akashia, this is a compromise, but also because I've now rewatched each season probably 4 times or more.

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:


126th Place: Vivienne Pinay (Season 5) - finished joint-10th

Finishing rock bottom is never a good look and there really aren't that many queens I feel strong negativity about, so the first few writeups here are going to be my most hateful and then I'm going to gush from, like, 110th upwards

Vivienne entered, and indeed exited, season 5 proclaiming herself the fishiest queen that had yet been cast, which is quite cute when you consider she was in a cast with Monica Beverly Hillz, Jade Jolie and Penny Tration Alyssa Edwards. Let alone in the season directly after Kenya Michaels, Our Lord and Fishiness. This should go some distance into explaining the level of delusion with which we are dealing, here, people.

Her elimination of course is what she's most remembered for, on account of it being the first ever double-elimination, but I think that speaks for itself; how do you make "Oops! I Did it Again" boring? It might have been more poetic, though, if Honey had won it since she technically did anyway (even if it was a case of, like, Honey delivering a 3/10 and Vivienne a 1/10)

What makes her the WOAT for me though is her personality. She had this constant stink-face on, and each talking-head she showed was to slag off another competitor: she particularly hated Roxxxy Andrews for being "loud and obnoxious" when they were paired together for Roxxxy's breakout Tossha Salad performance, all the while delivering... well can you remember a Vivienne moment?

All of her runways were short-skirt affairs that might've been cute on Tatianna.

And finally there was controversy when she was found to be ripping off people with a wig company. If there's a better metaphor for a queen thinking she's the shit, and having her ass handed to her by a bunch of actual princesses, I have not seen it.

She might be affiliated with the Haus of Edwards now but honestly, unless there's been a seismic turnaround, I can't see myself ever liking her. Just... really toxic.


Memorable quote(s): "Of course it's a double elimination. Why wouldn't it be?" (fair point sis, at least you worked out your potential after you were eliminated)
Best Runway(s): I guess her "Pretty in Pink" was perfectly fine if you cut out her caked face
Best Moment(s): ...this segment will be used better later in the rankdown.
