62nd Place: Kameron Michaels (Season 10) - finished 3rd (I guess 'joint 2nd' but come on she wasn't ahead of/level with Eureka)

Look, everyone liked Kameron Michaels. She was a sweet and understated queen with a ridiculously attractive out-of-drag appearance that was very much the underdog to support in a cast full of loudmouths and confidence.

I'm placing her this low because she just...really didn't do that amazingly at enough challenges. In her favour, we have the Cher musical in which she was the only queen (bar Monet X Change and, at a stretch, Eureka) who put in a solid performance. Her Chyna at Snatch Game was decent but only really remembered for Aquaria's Melania Trump quip about the country. And she did a solid job at all of the design challenges, but I still didn't really see the hype with her Climate Change Ball looks. The wintry one was a little bit too much with the makeup (but cool, anyway) and the martian expedition girl was just... a bodysuit with a walkie talkie? Otherwise I only really remember Kameron doing well in the Pharmarusical. I know fans lapped up her verse in 'American' but I found her voice shaky and the words pretty...bland.

It's just there are, on balance, more moments that Kameron struggled with. She landed in the bottom three weeks in a row for a one-note acting performance in Breastworld, an ineffective twins makeover, and that bizarre good vs. evil challenge where she didn't actually do that badly but was lazy with her idea to just use the outfit she brought for a Prehistoric Runway that wasn't used (see also: Aquaria and Miz Cracker in the same challenge. THAT is why Asia and Eureka weren't bottom two stupid stans). This run of bottom placements sadly wasn't the only time Kameron struggled: she did a pretty disastrous job of acting in the Fibstr advert (I get war flashbacks every time I remember the joke she tried to tell, "unless you're into that :hugesmsile: hehehHEHhehhe "

Don't misconstrue this placement for me hating Kameron Michaels: I have no hate for her. Her lipsyncs were absolutely incredible and she deserved to make the final. It's just... she's one of those queens that don't really prompt a huge emotional reaction from me, good or bad, and as a result she winds up in a relatively safe and comfortable placement I look forward to a future Allstars appearance, though.


Memorable quote(s): "I believe that's...doable." (the Trade mini-challenge)
Best Runway(s): I mean, this is a landslide obviously but her Feathered Runway was breathtaking and unarguably one of the greatest of all time.
Best Moment(s): The hair-shakes in the 'New Attitude' lipsync vs. Eureka. I know it was a double-shantay, and deserved to be, but god damn she went for blood
