35th Place: Monique Heart (Season 10, All Stars 4) - finished 8th and 3rd respectively

The cuts are really starting to hurt, now </3

Monique was the Heart of Season 10, and is the best queen in a long, long, long time to really sell the hell out of the talking heads segments and really make a name for herself as a winning personality. In fact, I might say she's the best of all time at doing that, and that's in a season that also contained Asia, Monet, Cracker and Eureka.

I only out her now because of her pretty poor showing in Season 10 she suffered a lot from the delusion edit, thinking she should have won (or at least been in the top) for her Queen of Hearts 'Drag on a Dime' look (that, sadly, wasn't as good as Mayhem, Miz Cracker or Yuhua's), and had to rush most of her outfits together to mixed results: her 'hats extraordinary' runway was great... her mermaid... was not. Her lipsync was pretty abysmal, and her Snatch Game as Maxine Waters was, too. In fact, the only defense I can make for her is her showing in the App challenge for Fibstr where she (ironically) plays a pathological liar who believes she lives in luxury. Actually no, she excelled at the Drag Con Panel challenge, too, but was marginally upstaged by the chemistry of the Monet/Eureka/Kameron team, and Asia's hat.

She might, too, place higher, had she not MILKED the Brown Cow Stunning thing to death at the start of AS4.

But otherwise, she is a stellar queen and an absolute contender: her Jersey Justice performance was incredible and went toe to toe with Manila (which few queens fairly managed to do), and she completely redeemed herself as a lipsyncer with some incredible performances against Manila ("The Bitch is Back") and Latrice ("Sissy That Walk").

I think she might also have my favourite ever exit line (for season 10): "America, I didn't know my words and I have to own that. You may clock my lipsync, America, and you may clock, "Oh, that bitch is horrible, what the hell she doing...?" but you cannot say that the bitch didn't try. I got my ruward, I made America know my name. A little girl from Kansas City that no one knew... and that's a fact. And facts are facts."

I love Monique for about a million reasons, but I don't know a queen who's able to use words so charmingly and so uniquely.

Memorable quote(s): "Top of the morning to you. Do you want something delicious? Better off, succulent, decadent, hot and vivacious? Then you should try RuPaul's chocolate bar."
Not actually on TV but this was my first glimpse of Monique and it made me fall in love instantly: https://www.reddit.com/r/rupaulsdrag...monique_heart/ ...
Nico Tortorella: "If you could say one thing to...
Monique: Yes, to a drag race troll? Hi. The bible says that if you **** with this one, God Himself is gonna make you a foot stool. So I want you to know no weapon formed against me shall prosper, every lying tongue shall be condemned... I'm not putting up with the bull**** and if you are about that life, I'm gonna hit your ass and then sue you like a good Becky. What's good? Imma walk away from the situation paid. So you can try it: Imma block your ass. Thank you "
Best Runway(s): Tough call, but my vote goes to her Feathers runway from S10... that was honestly as beautiful as Kameron's, IMO.
Best Moment(s): Bolting to the back of the stage ("you ain't gotta tell me, twice") when announced no one was being eliminated in AS4 (where Valentina would've gone before the lipsync episode)? Absolutely SCREAMING during the Valentina/Monet lipsync? Her confusion over which way to paint a wall with Monet in the Clubs challenge? I think my vote would have to go for the reaction to Monet's Miz Cracker read, though. (Skip to 11:10)
