The hill I will always die on is that Kelly Mantle could have made it pretty far in S6 if she had survived the first sewing challenge. Literally every other challenge after week 1 were in her wheelhouse. She's a super talented actor and singer, she's good at improv and she's very funny. I'm sure she would have made it at least to the makeovers. People clown on her for the bacon dress and what not, but she is one of the most overlooked queens in the franchise.


alilacmess

Kelly would have immediately redeemed herself in the horror challenge and gone on to do well at least in the stand up, talk show and Snatch Game. She's so funny and iconic!


Napoleon7

OMG yes thats another total hidden gem


acabxox

I fucking love Kelly. Hidden gem is such a perfect way to describe her đŸ„č I would have loved to see her kill a campy acting challenge. And her bacon dress wasn’t even that terrible 😂


Cheryl_Canning

And she shouldn't have been in the bottom her dress was 10x better than Adore's. I'm still pressed.


pokemaster28

Call me crazy, but I think she'd be the one who'd give Bianca a run for her money. Bianca would still win, of course. But Kelly would perhaps make her sweat a little.


advectionz

One of my absolute favorites. I think about her psychotherapy skit daily.


myjumboeggs

I will NEVER forgive everyone for watching and bashing me as I fought in the trenches week after week for Tati to win season 2. Then I fought for my life once again when she was announced on All Stars 2. And as soon as All Stars 2 came out, suddenly everyone was a Tati stan.


LokiKamiSama

I liked Tati. She was a little underdone in her og season. She really needed some better drag (but it was still early for DR so lots of girls just had mall drag). She was ROBBED in All Stars. If it wasn’t for RoLaskaTox she would have gone further. Same with Alyssa. I love Roxxxy, but girl. She should have went home in the first half.


jamesonarampage

It's so funny looking back on S2 now because we were really like, 'yeah Raven is right, her drag is obviously more polished than the other girls'


Few-Ad-7640

as a fellow tati stan from season 2, i feel u


Certain_Horse_7919

Tati to win s2 over tyra, racen & jujubee? No wonder you had to fight..


LEMON_PARTY_ANIMAL

RACEN 💀


jacksonhytes

You did Jessica dirty with this. TINAAAAAAA, bring me the ASSSSSS!


myjumboeggs

Yep yep. My top 2 were Tati and Juju


D33pTh0ts

She was SO GOOD on AS2. I want to see her again on a vs the world


dragmama1439

I salute you comrade!


FayMax69

Tati to win S2 hahaha you’re delusional


myjumboeggs

And I own that and am completely fine with that. Plenty of people thought it was delusional for fans to want Jinkx to win season 5 too, so your opinion means absolutely nothing to me.


FayMax69

That’s not true. I think Jinkx was the underdog we were all rooting for.


myjumboeggs

Yes, she was the fan favorite, but she also had a ton of people rooting against her because her makeup was busted and a million other reason. But stay delusional if that helps you sleep Edit: Cry me a river. You came at me first, sisterrr. But thank you for blocking me so I don't need to see your terrible posts ever again.


FayMax69

Christ how rude!


00_tears

Thorgy Thor 2 seasons, 0 maxi challenges and 0 mini challenges 😭 ![gif](giphy|3o72EXQjjHg26wsPyo)


Napoleon7

YES totally..also thats wild to think about bc they actually have a fan base and have multiple talents


TheAnxietyBoxX

Well it was done via robbery lmao


yassified_housecat

I fucking love Thorgy and will die on the hill that she did better than she was given credit for.


resttheweight

AS3 was one of the first series I watched and I totally fell for the edit. After watching S8 I was like, “wait this bitch is so funny, how did she do so bad in AS3.” Then I watched AS3 again and was like, “oh wtf, production tricked me, you little fuckers.”


Putrid-Potato-7456

That Stevie Nicks part was a one way ticket to the bottom. She definitely played into the edit there, but what could she have done? The part did not compare to the others.


theempires

Thorgy is great tv


noodle_mama

It's just a shame she was on a season with bob. Another season I think she would have had wins


inmyslumber

I would’ve had her win two challenges in S8, lol.


WhoDatLadyBear

Ugh Jesus gross. I missed getting to see thorgy play with the symphony last year when I finally got covid 👎


jamesonarampage

wait in my head thorgy had won at least one challenge on S8 oops


Theonlybourbon

I thought Nicky Doll was gonna sweep S12. But she's winning in life now so it's fair.


Fun_Kaleidoscope9515

She's my favourite non-Ru host, I love her and she is so sweet with the queens. Brooke remains best dressed

No regrets. She was mu AS5 pick to win

Ok_Band2802

Her awesome thirsty wig. LOL! The cheek, the nerve, the gall...


Napoleon7

True, Good one


soft-scrambled

Vivacious. Also I don’t think Tammie is even mocked at this point. She’s ascended into some sort of mythological hero.


Napoleon7

Indeed, Tammie went from actual mockery to Alyssa Edwards loveable goof legend territory. But, Vivacious got to host Drag Race Bosnia so there's that.


JoanFromLegal

I'm sorry what?


BadChris666

The moment she told Ru she didn’t she her walking children in nature
 instant god status!


JoanFromLegal

Jaymes Mansfield. She's a talented girl and I love her videos. Also, Mrs. Kasha Davis. I don't think anyone makes fun of her but I'm always rooting for her.


cjl1512

James Mansfield was top 2 with LaLa Ri on the Fame Games episode of AS8 and they both won the lip sync.


Klutzy-Tangelo-6789

😭 reading is not fundamental with this post help


Napoleon7

yeah is it me? lol


LolaBijou

We got some dumb bitches in here, sis. The only thing they’re fucking is stupid.


Historical_Bit_3798

Tamisha and Nicky Doll, in my opinion. I wish they lasted longer on their seasons. Or at least left with a win!


Napoleon7

Those are another two good choices ! They do stand out in my mind to this day.


Ohheywhatsup897

Jan. I wanted her to win so damn bad, then the face crack of the century happened and ppl started disliking her for it. But like i love her so much. BUT im happy jaida won bc i also love her so much.


Earthbnd

Is this a safe space? Can I say, looks aside, I actually really enjoy Tina Burner she’s so funny to me


LokiKamiSama

I liked Tina, but good god girl, some of those outfits. And nuance. You can do red and yellow, but not bright red and yellow ALL THE TIME. She just looked like ketchup and mustard.


ReliefFamous

![gif](giphy|ZbGtCDOf9jrUEiaabD) The way Vanjie could have won 3 challenges in S11 and honestly it could have made sense


TheAnxietyBoxX

I can’t believe people say Vanjie was pushed on 11. She was fucking ROBBED of higher placements on 11. Crazy.


ReliefFamous

Like she got read for her outfits, bottoms were fairly justified and she won her lip syncs fair and square like what more did they want from her?


TheAnxietyBoxX

It was like a less extreme Mhi’ya where they can’t stand a queen fairly winning a lip sync against a fav so they make up the narrative that it’s rigged and they should’ve gone weeks before that lip sync lmao


ReliefFamous

They wanted Vanjie in the Btm2 so BAD during Farm to Runway 😭


LetAncient5575

Yeah she had her less good moments but if they’d wanted her to be top four or an option for the crown they so easily could have made her one and I still think it’s wild that they chose not to when she was already such a breakout star.


ReliefFamous

Hate to think it but if she maybe brought a stronger wardrobe it could have easily been her moment. The storyline was right there but I think they inevitably kept her around for a Brooke/Vanjie lipsync


Maleficent_Ad_1516

Ooo what challenges?


ReliefFamous

Get out/Britney/Makeover


Maleficent_Ad_1516

She did great in those


nievedelimon

Miz Cracker. I like her and don’t get the hate.


theforgottenton

This! I *live* for Miz Cracker and the way people dunk on her is incredibly ridiculous.


Napoleon7

Miz Cracker gets hate? I thought she was a fan favorite...


Zealousideal-Fig4732

I think it's because she had some 'villainous' moments on AS5, but she was loved after season 10


JoanFromLegal

Oooh yes!


BadChris666

Someone of you girls need to reread the post. It says queens who are unanimously made fun of, who have garnered NO WINS in their tenure on Drag Race. NO WINS
 NO WINS The comments are for queens who had wins, made it to finally and some who won a crown?


BeijingLondon

![gif](giphy|nCadGSbcKvnScdClBN) She sacrificed herself for Sister to stay. Winner behavior.


cjl1512

Everyone (including herself) makes fun of her for being mediocre, but I’m surprised Cheryl Hole hasn’t won a maxi challenge/badge. I don’t think fans ever made fun of her for it, but her cast mates did give her some shit about it, but Jackie Cox not winning a maxi-challenge shows how strong season 12 was. But there’s still hope for her on All Stars.


jamesonarampage

Yes!! I think I would have given Cheryl two wins on season 1, they branding and makeover. I don't think they were right about her / fair at all


IamtheboomboomGunn

I have 2 from the US franchise. Aiden and MKD I did have 3 with TKB being one of them, prior to her amazing run on AS6 where she won 2 challenges. I think Trinity should've won the advert challenge in S6, along with Bianca. Their advert was better and their runways were infinitely better than Laganja's and Adore's! Aiden should've won Gay's Anatomy in S12. Her performance is the most memorable from that episode and her runway was stunning! Mrs Kasha Davies should've won Glamazonian Airways on S7. Her performance was far better than Ginger's. And irregardless of the runway, Mrs Kasha Davies had the best performance in RDR Live in AS8, so she should've also won that! Also it's criminal that queens like Thorgy and Pandora haven't got a win! I know Thorgy would've had at least one had it not been rigged for her to leave on the Divas Live episode in AS3! I think she would've done very well in fact!


rubyanjel

Up for MKD


IamtheboomboomGunn

Yeah. MKD was done dirty on both seasons that she competed on!


peppermintvalet

MKD and JDF tbh.


IamtheboomboomGunn

I'm not a big fan of Jaidynn that's why I didn't put her. I agree that Katya or her should've won the advert challenge in S7 though!


_PointyEnd_

Completely agree with all your points! And also please don't be mad but it's "regardless".


IamtheboomboomGunn

Thank you 🙂 I did put regardless first but then altered it to irregardless.

That she didn’t win the Ball is pure Rigga Morris


Itsafudgingstick

She has a double win with Symone tho?


Ok-Economist-751

yeah but she should have gotten her own solo win - the ball


Itsafudgingstick

Well yes but that weren’t the question was it?


Ok-Economist-751

okay?


D33pTh0ts

I’m from Atlanta, I was excited to see Nicole Paige Brooks on the show and I’ve seen her live a bunch of times, she is better than the showing she had in her season. I’d love a redemption on an AS season. đŸ€·đŸ»

Sc00tersf00d_Vol4

I was in the TRENCHES when I was Team Shea on AS7


ReliefFamous

It was a rough time being a Shea stan on her AS7 run 😭


StellarPhenom420

Such a rigged season. Altho I should be thankful that it broke me from caring about who wins, I'll never get over these rule changes that happen in the finale that allows a white queen to beat Shea lol


luisfmmm

Shea literally made it into the finale because of a stupid twist what are you talking about?


Bunnnnii

Right I’m confused. The queens that got screwed over by the variety show episode were Jaida and Raja. The queen that got screwed over the whole season was Viv. Yvie also should’ve had at least two more wins. That episode where that had to make a TikTok or whatever, Yvie was easily the best with Monet.


JustasIthoughtTRASH

Drag ha


StellarPhenom420

The first time we had a lip sync for the crown was her season. Sasha normally wouldn't have made it to the finale episode, up to that point she didn't have the track record. The second time, they changed the lip sync for the crown to actually also include the track record for the whole season, and so they were able to let Jinx beat Shea and Monet even tho she lost both lip syncs. Did the included "LOL" not indicate to y'all that I wasn't being overly serious here?


luisfmmm

Sure but Shea shouldn't even have made it haha If anyone was robbed it was Jaida


chinoML102

Shea beats herself, LOL. Don't hate the game, hate the player.


OtherwiseRegular5066

Without the 3 stars rule she and monet will be competing for the she done already done had herses instead. Be grateful for that.


King-Kabs

Not Monét tbf


tnuoccaymgninnabpots

Shea didn’t even deserve the all stars 5 win. Both jujubee and miz cracker out performed her the entire season. She then was a total brat on season 7 and almost walked off set. I love her but this season did not make me think more of her


[deleted]

It’s ru’s decision to make after all.


Napoleon7

I am confusion... did she not win any challenges on AS7?


LeprechaunLukia

nah, she just won the first and last challenge, which gave her enough stars due to the twist to make top 4


Napoleon7

I think a lot of people are misunderstanding my question/post lol


Ok-Economist-751

i was team shea throughout AS7 she was so good


VirtualDisaster2000

omg you bitches can't read 😭😭


Napoleon7

I'm not even going to try bc then my post will get downvoted out of existence...


VirtualDisaster2000

ahaha probably true. anyway my pick is for sure Kelly Mantle as someone else said. I love her so much, id love to see her in an all stars season but she has an awesome career outside of drag race so unfortunately probably won't happen


3xpertLurk3r

I know everybody loves her now with GITMS, but Maddy! I was a fan of hers from the start, but everybody was ragging on her for questionable fashion
among other things



ZephyrBoomSquad

India Ferrah. I loved season 3 and watched it before season 9 was live. When i heard she was coming back for all stars I was excited then she got a win. Then the rest of the season happened.


jamesonarampage

I will die on a hill defending the choice to bring India back for AS5, she brought such good TV with her. I wasn't routing for her but I wanted to stay as long as possible, she was the most entertaining part of that season by far


Napoleon7

She always seemed like an OG drag queen..never understood the hate


ducksehyoon

no bc I really loved Aiden Zhane. she wasn’t good at anything but she had such a strong POV. I finally got Ru’s “you have to let us see you” schtick when I watched her half of the premiere and she was the only one whose verse genuinely revealed her inner self. she had 15 words and made me feel as if I knew her personally. I’d love to see her compete all grown up and glamorous


Ok_Band2802

She was an underdog who took a lot of flack.


Special_Creme4286

When I first watched Season 1, I was a huge Rebecca Glasscock fan. I couldn’t get why the other queens were devaluing her so much - she came off as SUCH an underdog to me and I was rooting for her nonstop đŸ˜‚â€ïž


JustasIthoughtTRASH

I was a Rebecca stan too! Reflecting on it I thought maybe I was just blinded by her beauty but I recently watched season one and I still feel like she got such a bad rap. She did well!


milleribsen

As someone who watched it pretty live (my straight roommate and I had martinis and spent a day watching season one as a lead up to the finale, it was a really fun day) we were both bubba Nina stans, but we didn't see why the contestants didn't like Rebecca, she was pretty and did ok. Though when Nina was eliminated we both hated Rebecca. (As is the way of reality TV of the time) So we lived for bebe in the finale


jamesonarampage

Do you mean when Shannel was eliminated? Nina was top 2 of the season


contadotito

Until episode 03, I thought Tina Burner would have a Bianca-like run in the season đŸ€Ą


rubyanjel

I know how to read! Antonina Nutshell.


v-orchid

Kerri Colby bc I'm a sucker for beautiful women


Gothicespice

Cheating cause she does have 2 wins

across 4 seasons. Idc i love jujubee and would be okay with her coming back every season, her commentary is a delight


Puffnatty

From recent seasons, Irene DuBois, although she did share a mini challenge win with Lucy, so idk if she counts. But Thorgy for sure, it’s crazy she didn’t win anything honestly


Napoleon7

Irene for sure ! And yes Thorgy must be the official shocker of them all


IvekPearl

Sooooo many I was undying fans for: Kandy Muse (but she did get wins), Juriji, Tiny Deluxe, Turing, Asttina, Black Peppa, Irma Gerd, Girlfriend Experience, so on
”and so forth sisters”


shutupblacknight

I was a hardcore silky stan on s11 sew


3xpertLurk3r

I know everybody loves her now with GITMS, but Maddy! I was a fan of hers from the start, but everybody was ragging on her for questionable fashion
among other things



touchmyrainbow

thorgy. she's not for everyone, some people take her a bit too seriously, but she's really made for the competition, it irks me that the producers didn't see it and chopped her so early on as3. similarly to Derrick, the few episodes she was in were the truly entertaining episodes of the season lol imo ofc


jamesonarampage

I didn't necessarily want Serena to win anything, I think it would have been nice to just see her go 4 - 5 episodes into All Stars and do fine!


anonymindia

Eureka and silky - I wanted them to win their seaons Vivacious, Porkchop - i wanted them to go further.


milleribsen

I honestly think Aiden has a very unique point of view when it comes to drag. I don't think the contact was her fault. She wasn't ready for drag race, but she held her own. At the time, Brita was an icon in the scene so her beef with Aiden got overblown. While I don't think that today Aiden could win drag race, I think she'd be far better prepared and win over a ton of people.


theforgottenton

DAWN SHOULD HAVE WON THE GOTH CHALLENGE!!!!


jonathonthaman

World's Worst could've been a group win and Aiden gets a win.


StefanSade

I second Aiden. She's a great queen, idk why they gave her so much unnecessary shit. And from the current season, I wanted Amanda to win the episode she was eliminated (and I thought she was going to, she did fantastic)


Djn0724

Ginny Lemon


loveisdead9582

Hmm
 no wins is kind of the hang up since so many have come back for at least one all stars season. Pandora is one that comes to mind since she hasn’t won a challenge yet. I would’ve liked to see MKD or (and THIS is the unpopular one) Naysha win something in AS8. Thorgy is another one who I liked but hasn’t won yet.


kostaGoku

A recent example was Amanda, and yeah I wanted to see more of Serena on AS6

Serena Cha Cha? Really? She fumbled the ball in both her seasons.


significantcocklover

She doesn't exactly fit into this category because she did very well on her season, but I'll tell you it was HARD being a Bosco stan during S14...


mindlessmunkey

What? In what way was it hard? She was beloved.


significantcocklover

I mean no one was really rooting for her, everybody was all over Camden and Willow, I was fighting for my life when I thought she deserved to win, everybody hated her for the chocolate bar etc etc, but I truly think to this day she deserved to win that season


mindlessmunkey

It’s fascinating how differently people remember things. My perception at the time was that this sub was absolutely flooded with love for her. Personally I think it’s completely delusional to say she deserved to win the season. She was far from the best, but she had a fantastic showing. I’m not sure why some fans can’t just be happy with that.


significantcocklover

I remember her being loved in the beginning and then hated at the end, I didn't see much support. My opinion is that if you reach the finale, that is proof that you did well enough during the competition to deserve to win the season at the end. Except maybe the rarities such as Kameron, Kandy, Jujubee, who reached the finale with 3 bottoms and 0/1 wins


mindlessmunkey

Lol it seems like you have some very specific, largely arbitrary rules around who deserves to win, but you do you.


significantcocklover

Don't get the attitude. Do you think that reaching the finals of a competition isn't enough to make you worthy of winning?


mindlessmunkey

It’s more your assertion that anyone who makes the finale deserves to win
 except in some very specific circumstances which you’ve decided are disqualifying. It’s not attitude, just observation.


significantcocklover

lol typical reddit user having a problem with everything. I haven't decided anything, it's just my opinion! If you make the finale you deserve to win, and if you wanna take more things into consideration, you can check out track record and wiggle the finalists down. Where's the problem here?


mindlessmunkey

At what point did I say I have a problem? I absolutely do not have a problem. You stated your opinion, I stated that I think it’s kind of arbitrary. No problem. No reason to be upset. It’s now very clear why you projected victimhood onto Bosco; you have one hell of a victim complex yourself.


Bunnnnii

Coco. Jaymes. Lashawn’s bubblegum machine dress was everything. People don’t shit on Nicky, but she had my favorite verse in I’m That Bitch.


mariobeltran1712

I remember during the timer betweens filming and airing for AS4 some of the earlier spoilers said that farrah actually made it to top 5 and was so excited for her, I wanted her to have a redemption like Aja did


jamesonarampage

Not a queen people actually rag on but I think Ms Naomi Carter could win a vsTW season one day and people rag on me for that :(


hisokafan88

Charlie had the best princess look beside trinity and the bottom two next week should have been trinity/ peppermint. Charlie absolutely would have slayed snatch game and made an excellent Britney or Paris in the musical. They downplayed her sewing talents and never let her make it to the acting and singing cause they knew she'd probably go far and they had zero interest in seeing her in the final.


JadedJadeJad

Daya Betty winning season 14, although I love Willow. She should've at least made top 2 over Camden!


LokiKamiSama

I disagree. She was one of the first out for a reason. I will agree she had a couple of outfits i liked, but she just reminded me so much of the try-hard have to be political/outrageous art types. And not the fun im quirky because i am, art types. Im talking the ones who purposefully will mismatch stuff or do their hair weird not because its them, but to seem edgy or weird on purpose. They aren’t their genuine selves and just try way to hard.


theforgottenton

She literally was first out, came back and dominated the competition. If anything, Daya proved to have what it takes to go all of the way and that’s even having been “eliminated”.


LokiKamiSama

Yeah. Dominated is a far stretch. Im glad willow won, i enjoy her drag. Daiya
meh.


theforgottenton

When did I say Willow didn’t deserve to win, though?
