36th Place: Bebe Zahara Benet (Season 1, All Stars 3) - finished 1st and 3rd respectively
In amongst all of the confusion and outrage that was All Stars 3, it was quite easy to overlook what made Bebe such a fierce queen. Her presence was a continual affront to the fans of the younger queens, and her supposed betrayal of Aja in the Warhol Ball almost made her a villain. "She's already won!" they screamed. "This is so unfair!" Yes, well, that might be a salient point had Season 1 not had a prize fund of 50p and been watched by just fifteen people in the back of a Wendy's.
Even in season 1 things came pretty close with Bebe's path to the crown; she was one half of the first ever "nail-biter" lipsync in a showdown with Ongina that pretty much set the bar for lipsyncs to come.
There's a reason this is the only lipsync song to be used twice 
As for her positives? She nailed the Oprah challenge, she had a strong Grace Jones impression in Snatch Game, channeled Diana Ross in the Divas lipsync perfectly (but we won't credit that because that episode is the most contrived of all time) and just shone in both seasons as this unique, African goddess that was above it all and had a tone that was often interpreted as condescension and superiority (but... look at her? You are inferior).
I also feel that whenever we talk about who gave the best verse in a RuPaul song in the semi-final episode of a season, we go on and on about Shea, Katya, Kameron, Detox, etc... but Bebe's cameo in the "Cover Girl" music video is honestly beautiful and so simple.
an iconic budget! "Shall we hire 50 hot guys to make up the background? No, Lucian Piane has a boiler suit and we'll just clone him x"
We won't mention the slip in the Kitty Girl performance, because that would be cheap and mean
Memorable quote(s): "Paramedics! Paramedics make sure she's ok. Because I was not ready. NOT."
Best Runway(s): She had some great ones in AS3, but I will always remember Bebe as this:
Best Moment(s): I hated it the first time I watched it, but, it's unquestionably...
