Ultimately, it's hard to argue against Season 9. Those queens have had IMPACT.
Yah, true, and if you look critically at S6 and UK2, there are a couple of weak links.
And when peppermint goes on Allstars, she will be the 4th top 4 winner from one season.
@@Peter-hz5nk wohkd be great, but thats the same that was called for manila
@@Peter-hz5nk And VAlentina will win Spain vs The World for sure
@@graphiquejack Courtney, Adore & Bianca have gone beyond drag race now they are famous without the drag race titles and don’t need wow anymore
Jade Jolie going home after a hairy runway on 2 different franchises is pretty iconic in itself
Well deserved imo 😭 she’s cute but like girl she was not at the same level as the others on Dragula
@@dd4850 I disagree, she DEFINITELY was on the same level as the others! It's just that the unfortunate event knocked her off her feet but she is an incredibly skilled drag artists
@@dd4850 ?? she was amazing and robbed of a few top placements in dragula
Despite it going rapidly downhill I thought Holland Season 2 had a PHENOMENAL cast as well. Production really screwed them over
Very much that! This season had awful, unjust judging and sometimes not the greatest challenges, but the queens! So talented, unique and charismatic!
I 100% agree!
Same goes for Holland 1. So many great queens (Envy, Janey, Chelsea Boy...), but production-wise the season could be better. I hope some Holland girls get the chance to go back to some sort of All Stars /vs. the world season.
@@danielely3807 I know this is really random and I apologize if this is too forward, but you have the most stunning eyes
and challenges aside, Holland 1 and 2 still have the best runways everrrrrr.
I will never get tired of saying SEASON 7 cast is one of the best (not the season obviously). Huge amount of talent got wasted because of shitty challenges.
S10 is also similar.
Absolutely!
Actually, the season in itself also needs redemption
I would also add Spain Season 2, that Talent Show alone showed us how great of a cast they were
Best cast ever goes to UK2 hands down. They are all iconic and memorable.
I agree
100%
Plus Sister Sister

France also had amazing cast! Entire top 6 is absolute top tier, Paloma, with their unique concepts, looks and acting, Soa with their raw star quality greater than anyone else across all franchises, La Grande Dame with their fashion and makeup and beauty, Lolita with their dancing and incomparable energy, La Big Bertha with their burlesque and attitude and Elips with their captivating mysteriousness! Love them all.
Absolutely! One of the best casts/seasons ever
I totally agree with you. And the lipsync with Lolita and Big Bertha was just epic. Cried sooo hard! But the thing that made DRF so special was the total lack of nastiness. The judges were tough, but they offered their remarks as constructive criticism. The queens were so supportive and kind to each other. Unforgettable!
For me the best cast was Asia O'Hara's All Stars where Asia competed against the ghosts of the butterflies to exorcise them. The top two was so powerful with the Blue Monarch Butterfly and Asia winning the crown.
Lmao! 🤣 That went somewhere way completely different than what I was expecting and I love it xD.
I can't wait for Asia to come back. Seeing a redemption look with 1 million bedazzled dead butterflies....
Is this from the Werk the World tour hosted by Asia haha
the finale really got me where yuhua came in and snatched the crown to continue her legacy of being the winner of every season
Season 12 for sure. Talent, personalities, comedy, looks. These girls ate it up every single time i would watch season 12 cast in new season. There is something magical in them together (without C.P.) that I can't even explain
Same season 12 definitely gets overlooked by it just being a newer season, everyone just goes to their old faithful season 6
Top to bottom Season 9 was just an amazing cast. Everyone from that cast is memorable. YES, even Charlie Hides 😂
I agree completely about season 14. Everyone was such a superstar. The top 4 I really thought it could go to any of them for the crown. A much needed season after season 13 lol
Yes! Season 13 was such a cringe fest. I remember being so excited for it during the promos and then I just stopped watching it after like the 5th episode. So season 14 was a much needed change of things.
if its about the cast season 13 cast would literally destroy season 14 in every way
I would have to add seasons 2 & 3 myself. So many legends and so many of them still iconic and working today.
this is a good opinion. I think between these 2 S3 is the best. It was the first like big season, the top 4 were truly powerful, even with Raja's favouritism she was a star without it, the drama, the early outs are iconic with MiMi and Maria, Shangela becoming a superstar.
Halleloo! Bam! Eszpelante'! Roger! Pineapples oh my! 🍍
Havent watched it yet but my prediction is UK2, or at least that would be my pick. Literally every single queen from that season is iconic in some way and gave us an incredible season, one of the best
I think it’s kinda crazy that season 7 haven’t been mentioned. Like that season produced a lot of the biggest superstars of all time, it’s one of those seasons where the challenges and production brought the quality down but the queens were honestly amazing and proved to be so.
The fact that we have 3 winners in the season 9 cast says it all
We also have 3 crowns in season 5
@@saavedrasaavedracarlos8890 because jinkx won twice lmao
@@carlosr.9991Roxxys winning as9
S12 was GREAT!!!! even ru herself said that the top 6 is effing iconic
In my opinion UK vs the World had an amazing cast, i remember really looking forward to it. I also think that if more pepole watched it then Drag race Thailand s2’s cast would also made it to the list cuz They are AMAZING!❤️
I agree about Thailand 2!!! I wish Thailand got the credit it deserved
Side note to the UKS2 grouping: my favorite moment on US13 was Ru asking Rosé how to say something besides "Lawrence Chaney" in a Scottish accent, and Rosé responding "ELLIE DIAMOND"
Philippines is only 4 episodes in and that cast is absolutely incredible. However, out of this group, UK 2 hands down wins for me. No weak links, every elimination was shocking/iconic, and they’re just a comforting group of girls to watch.
I like how a lot of queens say that their season and cast “made drag race” but it’s more like a relay race. Some seasons have dropped the baton. I honestly feel like the first season to cross a huge milestone or “finish line” was season 6. Then they passed baton and season 9 took it further. Both of these seasons reached communities outside of what was established. All the seasons contribute, and objectively speaking, not all of them are going to measure up to one another. Some will surpass what was established and some will fall short.
1:01 mera says “voted on yal by twitter” and doesn’t even realise it. I LOVE THIS QUEEN!
I would definitely put season 7 here, because if that season stands out for something is for the amazing cast
An idea for a episode: what is statistically the strongest top 3/4 of all time, so amongst the finalists which collection has the strongest track record
It’s season 9, literally all of them apart from peppermint have wom
Won*
@@samuelsomervilleart3126 however they didn’t al win s9. I think this original comment was on that season who had the strongest top 4
I think that honor probably goes to either season 3 or UK season 1
@@mcwyman7928 I think it could go to season 4 but uk1 has 3 strong finalists
Season 6 is a season that hasn’t even been touched 12, 13 & 14 wish they could reach it’s iconic talent
Top 3 imo, before watching the video, s6, canada s1 and uk s2
I think it's either season 5 or uk season 2. Without a doubt.
Same for me including Season 9
@@calebenos808 yea seaosn 9 is up there as well
Since the opinions of the RPDR fandom are extremely varied and unique, what cast that is the true favorite will be all over the map for sure. For me personally, my favorite regular season of RPDR is season 7 and for ALL STARS is seasons 6 & 7. For the rest that I have seen, it is just a matter of favorite moments like the Snatch Game from seasons 6, 8 and 10. My favorite season premier is the one from RPDR season 9 featuring Lady Gaga.
@J Thank you for the kind words for I am very grateful. I have become a bigger Lady Gaga fan because of RPDR and also because of the 2018 film, A Star Is Born, which has appearances of RPDR royality in it. And, I am also very partial to the Snatch Game from RPDR season 7 since it is the first Snatch Game in RPDR herstory that had 2 winners and it was the first Snatch Game where a competiting queen did a boy drag character and won. It was because of Kennedy Davenport that the door for doing boy drag characters in the Snatch Game was opened. Very awesome indeed. Little Richard RIP
Love the Bob tribute, Mera
Bot The Drag Queen🤖
@@lipstickzombie4981 girl what?
For me season 12 has the best cast. I could see everyone from this season (exept for sheri pie) from the first out to the runner ups coming back for all stars!
Drag Race Philippines isn’t over yet but the queens are SO good and talented. Also Mamwa Pao is such a good host.
I’d say Season 9 takes it for me
There really aren’t any forgettable queens
This is a deep thought provoking news channel for sure, I mean Heidi's Booty Watch is truly inspiring!
España 2 should've definitely been here. I also think that season 7 has a great cast despite the season being maybe weaker 😅 I thought everyone in season 12 were at all stars level when I watched it! And I don't know why I am one of the few that doesn't like season 14 🥲 I don't see the star power in the cast that everyone does 😬
I think the main reason a lot of people love season 14 is because season 13 was such a cringy s**t show lol. So, for me at least, season 14 was a nice breath of fresh air.
@@keastonz true but s13 had an amazing cast too, all of them had All Stars quality
Yes! Season 13 had a way much better cast but it felt very discombobulated, that's true, so yeah, maybe that's why people responded very well to this last season. Personally I found it very lackluster 😬 but it is just one opinion hahaha
Drag Race France was amazing, and i have to say, Canada's DR this year is really something. The girls are turning out some unforgettable looks.
One that wasent mentioned but I loved everyone in the cast, uk vs the world had a amazing cast, all fan favourites, fierce competition just amazing queens all around
When I find myself watching This channel more then I watch drag race. Mera is soooo good
Chloe’s personality and her outfits just make me smile so big. She’s a ball of happy!
I loveee Chloe she is so hilarious, genuine and relatable. And her happiness is just so infectious 😭❤️
Mera looks like if bob's season 8 robot look was done right
God I love the Canada 1 cast. I’m still waiting for Tynomi, Scarlett, and Ilona back
Season 2 has an amazing cast!!! Literally almost every single one of them is relevant and see one on every single all star season.
Shangela, Raven, Jujubee, Pandora, Tatianna, Jessica Wild, Kylie Sonique, Morgan, Nicole Paige Brookes, Tyra Sanchez
I know it hasn't ended yet, but the Philippines cast is NEXT LEVEL, so good and they all deliver
Just knowing someone as iconic as Turing (love her) left on episode 4 is enough to know how iconic it is
I'm sure by next year Drag Race Phillipines will be on this list b/c it is ICONIC! I do think that Canada and UK has consistently the most charming and lovable cast.
before watching this video, i'd say my top 3 would be Season 9, Season 14 & UK Season 2 (but idk what order exactly)
Actually, I wouldn't sleep on the cast of Canada 2, either: they're all stars (even Beth)😏
Canada season 1 and France were amaaazing cast honestly
Spain season 2 is my favorite cast. The talent show at the beginning tells us everything we need to know about them and that they're all fierce
Spain season 2 is also up there imo
S14 is like the first modern day season that i watched as it aired that I truly and wholeheartedly was invested in almost every queen. also the challenges were all relatively good, like i can't remember the last time i enjoyed an acting challenges, the rusical was production and the lipsyncs were all super fun.
like by the end of it just watching lady and willow lipysnc together looking at each other and just like enjoying all the effort and hardwork that went into it capped it off beautifully, and had me in tears when they held each other's hands as they slide down the catwalk.
this also felt like the season the cast were more brave and open with being themselves, instead of just trying to be a character that they think the fans would want and expect of them to be. you could see that with s10-11 and the amount of hate the queens got for being loud or talking about problems in the community and fandom, often get a ton of hate from the fandom so a lot of queens were super scared to be genuine of not just themselves but also to their persona. like queens who did great like utiqa often got shafted cause production knew she wasn't being her true self.
s14 they didn't pretend to be something they're not, and the queens were also now at this point where they understand what producers and fans like. so they can hype themselves up and have a ton of lightbulb moments where they GET TO HAVE THEIR MOMENT! HAVE IT! THE FLOOR IS YOURS! having lots of great narrators also helped the season a lot, Kornbread, Kerri, Jasmine and Daya was so good, cause we got a mix of frontrunner, underdogs and "villains" narrating the season so it makes for a very well rounded narrative that looks at it from all the perspective.
In terms of likeability, S14 has to be my favorite cast. I liked literally EVERY queen, which never happens. They were all so amazing and the vibe was just right, there was a real sisterhood there. UK S2 is also pretty high up there, they gave us some damn good TV. But in terms of the strongest cast, I think S9 is hard to beat. I mean, 3 queens from the top 4 have a crown. That should tell you everything you need to know.
Chloe is Oprah's gardening journey! Have you seen her with huge baskets from her garden?
Also a 'queens who no longer do drag' video idea?

I've been watching/listening to yesterday's video and previous videos that I heard before and....lo and behold, a new one. Thanks for all the content, Mera.
Shook that 10 isn’t on here, it’s a cast full of superstars.

Vixen
Monique
Blair

Vanjie
Sooo many good ones
I can't believe Scarlett is filming s15.
Season 5,6,9,12 US and Season 2 UK
I’ve just realised that my favourite seasons are those with a great cast.
This is such a hard one! Seasons 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, all come to mind!
Season 7 is honestly a drag powerhouse, such a shame the entire cast is brought down by the fact that the season was such a trainwreck
I‘m actually a bit surprised season 2 Wasnt mentioned. Like 2/3 of that cast have become so iconic
Besides all the judging shenanigans, I do think DR Holland S2 had an absolutely amazing cast! Plus one of the best fights in drag race herstory that’s not talked about enough imo 👀
Season 3. Shangela, Henny, Mimi, Carmen, Manila, Raja. EVERYONE.
I would love to see a video where you rank the best runway songs of all the series!
If we talk about franchises, for me DRES had a very strong cast in both seasons. Both winnners (Carmen and Sharonne) were the best in track records, but also the runner-ups were so good; Killer, Estrella, Venedita, Sagittaria, Marina, Juriji, Pupi, Sethlas, Hugaceo, Onyx.... All of them are great 🌟
My top 3 casts are probably Season 9,12, and España 2
Season 9 had the best overall cast that has more winners and winner potential but season 6 has the "controversial" all star queen's as every season 6 queen who goes back ends up being an wild but important part to the season, think adore and Dela Quitting, milk being delusional and Gia being the ultimate villain. Trinity is so far the only one to come back and not do something crazy
I'm very happy that Arantxa got a mention in this vid. LOVE her
Who is the best cast?
IMO: Drag Race UK s2, All Stars s2, Drag Race España s1, UK Vs The World, & RPDR s10, 9, & 6
I agree you have to mention the first season. If it wasnt for that season the entire franchise might never have happened.
hey mera, you should make a video about the rumoured cast for dragula titans, bc it is PHENOMENAL, and we're about to be served!
just be careful when looking for it because there are already spoilers of who goes to the end
Already a video on it
i’ve gotta add in españa 2 and france 1 into this because they had not one bad queen!
Great list! My top three - US season 6, uk season 2, Spain season 1.
Best full cast list for me has to be UK S2. Every single girl is just so different and totally iconic.
Best seasons: 5, 9, Can 1 and UK 2. I think the cast of season 8 is underrated.
People really really loved UK Season 2. For me it was Uk Season 1 that really put it on the map for me
Season 12 losing is the new winning is the best 🌟
Chloe is soooo charismatic! She’d slay drag race!
Omg season 2!!! JUJUBEE Raven, Tati, Jessica wild, Pandora boxx, SHANGELA, Morgan McMicheals, kylie Sonique
You look ridiculously good with white hair
Reminds me of Storm from XMen
For me, Season 9 was the best. No cast member was a throwaway. Even the ones who left early left some interesting mark on the season while they were there. And everyone always talks about the rose petals, but I thought Peppermint's transformation in "Stronger" was just as amazing.
Season 5 and season 12 was the best cast for me.
all stars 2 is actually probably my favourite casts like the fact that coco,adore, and ginger were early outs show how great that cast was
For me the best season 1 has the best cast:
-Bebe the Near Perfect Winner
-Nina the Great Alternative Queen
-Rabecca the Villain
-Shanell the Delusional Queen who was almost always right
-Ongina the Robbed Goddess
-Jade the Trade of the Season
-Akasha the Lip Sync Assassin
-Tammie the Lovable Weirdo
-Pork Chop the Iconic First Out
Canda Season 3 is just AMAZING
One min into the video & can't stop staring at Mera's HIGHTLIGHT!!!!!!!! *heart eyes* so gorgeous.
I would have even added España season 2 & (judging choices aside) Holland season 2 as well.
I'm surprised the cast of season 2 of drag race wasn't included. They had the first season of untucked which I think really cemented them in drag race herstory. I just have one thing to say: my name is Nicole Paige Brooks from Atlanta, Georgia!
Season 7 has SO MANY legendary queens. I hated the challenges but loved the personalities.
Violet: Fashion icon
Trixie: Business Mogul
Katya: Hilarious! The ultimate wild card
Fame: Makeup legend
Ginger Ming: one of the funniest queens in RPDR herstery
Pearl: The only Queen who ever truly clapped back at Ru. Gagged her.
Season 7 had the most iconic cast. Can be the worst season but each queen is iconic and memorable!
Not you putting España S1 and not S2 :( Both are amazing, but España S2 felt like an All Stars cast.
I Loved season 12's Vegan Challenge! I can listen to that song on repeat!
You’ve never looked so good mera! Gorgeous 💖
I also think season 10 is stellar. Cracker, Monet, Monique... they were not even in the top 4, that had the amazing Aquaria, Kameron, Eureka, Asia. Vixen and Vanjie also had big impact. Blair and Yuhua!
Main criteria for this list should be how relevant is every single queen from particular season to this day, and if we use that as a measurement tool, season 9 is definitely the clear winner. Most of these queens have iconic moments during the season, but every single of them achieved some kind of success after the season, even the early outs.
Mera looks a little like Kylie here 😍😍
With this silver wig I need to see your take on Sindel from MK. I would die happy 😍
All stars2 and 6 really have an amazing cast
One of my favorite seasons and casts is season 3. Even on all stars they’ve done pretty well
Holland S1 & Dragula S2 honorable mentions!
