Kelly Roller has got to be the clearest example for me. I find her endearing, but 2 bottom placements, an elimination and she still made it to the finale over Clover and Bestiah? The math ain't mathing.
Absolutely, even with favouritism she did terribly. They criticize Canary queens for their boots while saying nothing about Kelly's roller skates. Kelly should've never even been brought back because Clover did the best by far in the comedy challenge (and probably would've brought back Visa regardless of what she says now).
@@LightestKingIf Clover had won and brought back Visa, that might’ve actually saved the season 😭. Kelly Roller had no business coming back. How did a bunch of d*ck jokes beat the clever, well-thought out ones? Ugh. España, por que??
As an American living in Australia, I’ve seen Art many times. She is an amazing queen. Her looks, her paint, her humour. All amazing. But her showing on DRDU was not.
Vivaldi was caught cheating on the top 5 episode and sent Tabitha home first, then somehow was able to stay, THEN sent Keta home! I get it, Tabitha took her shoes off in the lipsync, a big no-no, but come on, Fred! I don’t care if she’s your good Judy, send Vivaldi home!
That was my least favorite of all time. Of course we've all felt the heavy hand of production through all the franchises at different times but this was so blatant and objective. It wasn't a judging issue-it was breaking the contractual rules. I had enjoyed season 1 overall so much and was really disappointed by the Vivaldi decision.
Angeria lost steam at the end of the season unfortunately, and clearly lost the last lip sync with Willow Pill for the finale. It’s sad because she started out so strong, but her making the finale was questionable to me.
Have you ever thought why AS3 had that final jury vote to the finale? Maybe Ru wanted to save face for Bebe and so rather than Ru, herself, telling her that 'its not her time', as she was their very first winner. By creating a 'jury', production can then manipulate the final so that Bebe doesn't have the chance to win again. (As the girls would think its unfair for an already winner to come back and win again, Bebe had no chance with the 'jury'). Bebe, thus 'saves face', Ru doesn't have to tell her directly, as production never actually wanted Bebe to win in the first place. Shangela just happened to be the bi-product of their decision.
Kana Warrior and Kandy Zyanide from Thailand SS2 should be on the list. They comeback for no reason (also Kana be in bottom a lot) but they cut into final list over Bandit and Vanda Miss Joaquim. It gets me mad everytime.
You're so right, that last runway win for Kana was especially underserved. I don't think she should've been brought back over Maya B'Haro either when they were eliminated together but Maya had the far better run on the show.
Thailand S2 was so good... I allllmost forgive the ousting of Bandit and Vanda in favor of Kandy/ Kana... but I don't. Vanda and Bandit were both so good.
@@poultryg3ist My bad I thought you were talking about which Kandy (Kandy Muse from S13 and AS8 or Kandy Zyandie from Drag Race Thailand S2) is the one that the original commenter was talking about.
Bosco literally won 3 challenges. they only saved Jorgeous during their bottom 2 lipsync so they could pull off their GOLDEN chocolate twist, but I think her spot in the finale was deserved.
I would say Daya Betty is a bit more controversial than Bosco. I mean we knew that somebody was gonna be saved by the chocolate, but Daya bas brought back just because and made it to the Finale
And what if i said Daya deserved to win or to be at least top2? She was brough back but then gave us one of the best story arc, some of the most unique runways of the season and was robbed several time of a win (rumix) or high (ball) placement, she was low in some challenge she could be safe and in the bottom on that last challenge just so she could eliminate Deja and Jorgeous.
@@bastosbastos5835but she still didn’t do better than Willow, or lady Camden, or even Bosco. I feel like even angeria performed better overall despite losing steam towards the end of the season. there’s no way daya should’ve been in the top 2.
Bosco? Are you sure? Don’t blame her because she’s the producer pick for the chocolate, she’s won 3 challenges and deserve her spot in her season’s finale
Jujubee said in an interview that one of her designers cancelled on her a few weeks before filming so she had to a meeting with another designer to rush things together quickly so that she had something to wear. This is why most of her looks were not on Drag Race runway level and looked questionable in comparison to her All Stars 5 package as well as the fact that she was really stressed because of that which affected her performance.
Another video ideas 1 who should have gone in all double shantay 2 who should have stayed in double sashyes You have to choose one 3 queens who lost finale twice eureka ginger monique 4 challenges that happened only one like wrestling one in season 4 5 who would have won if the winner wasn't competing 6 The seasons where producers lost control like season 12,/had to change the edit 7 comedy queens who were good at fashion 8 the toughest challenge on each seasons 9 Ranking mother daughters and sisters performances in who did the best like vanjie and Alexis mateo, krystal and dede and davenports 10 Times where runway mattered like snatch game on season 10 11 Ranking seasons from easiest to toughest 12 queens who Gained momentum at last 13 the challenges that are won most and least by winners like rusical zero and I believe design is the one where our winners do the great most of the time 14 Ranking all esl queens and their performance 15 queens with the exact same track record like raja and manilla Sorry for bad English not my first language would love to get a heart from you
The challenges i remembered that happened once are the strip club in S2, wrestling one in S4, the acting one who re-do it past fights in S5, the improv in streets and the gaff-in & the photoshoot (AS1)...
I am surprised too because Luquisha could've gone home on the first episode and she clearly lost the lip sync against Ava Hangar in the fifth episode. Mera Mangle really likes to hate on Elecktra Bionic despite she actually did well in challenges when she was called safe and she should've won one or two challenge(s).
I would add Silky in S11. She should have been double-eliminated with Nina on the makeover, and even her wins didn’t really impress. Like Snatch Game, it was just bad overall so it felt less like she won and more like she was the default winner. She was also given passes. Shuga should have been safe and Silky in the bottom on the magic episode.
23:50 I wanted to like Yvonne, I really did, but she never really stood out above the others. Then, when they did start to shine a light on her, it was very offputting. Im thinking of that makeover where she was so bratty and straight up mean to her makeover partner, and then they rewarded her with the win? It just left a bad taste in my mouth. She had probably the worst makeover but was able to stay over Kelly, who was dominating at that point and was my pick to win (though I do think it was strategic on their part to get rid of the other big frontrunner in favor of someone who didnt really pose a threat to Pandora)
Yeah that was weird, I've always been for the opinion that if the season was fair the win should've been between Bosco and Daya. They were the only ones that had a good storyline to win throughout the season, to say Bosco didn't deserve to be a finalist doesn't make sense to me.
and she won like 3 challenges???? idk what’s so shocking about her making it besides the chocolate bar, but even with that i’m not surprised she made it through.
@Napoleonno I feel like Willow had a more toned down winner edit, we were told she was strategic, and it was proven at multiple points, she had unique fashion and we were shown her personality all throughout the season. It made you feel like you really connected with them, similar to Yvie's edit. Having other frontrunners alongside willow and keeping 5 queens for the finale really kept the tension and buzz and you didn't know who would win. I think they all deserved it tbh
Another thing that played in Rebecca’s favor for getting into the final three was that Shanel quit the week before the finale which pushed Rebecca into the final 3 by default.
With Art, she shouldn't have been there in the finale but she is still my fave Aussie drag queen. Honestly had they done Down Under without Ru, I could imagine Art would have been the host choice (which honestly would have been better due to the lack of cultural knowledge from Ru and Michelle, imo)
I mean when Bosco got “eliminated” I knew she had the golden chocolate bar cause she already had two wins and after that she got another win so I don’t think it was controversial for her to be in the finale
Jujubee, had done AS5, Queen of the Universe, and UK vs World all back to back to back so I could imagine she was exhausted by the time the finale of UK vs world came about.
@@charles-edouardmorel3173 I hadn’t heard about that. I figured she was doing UKvtW since she was already in the UK filming QotU and that they had filmed those one right after the other. And like I said, I don’t know how much time she had between the filming of AS5 and filming those.
I highly disagree with Yvonne Nightstand being controversial because she literally was like the top queen in those last like 4 episodes before the finale. And saying Kelly should’ve replaced her, when Kelly had some very shaky weeks and should honestly only have had 1 win. So I disagree and think Yvonne’s placement was well deserved
Pearl was the favorite fan and the one with the most support from the general public, which is controversial, at that time no one wanted Violet and Ginger and it was all about Katya and Pearl.
Hello Mera and Scarlett, I wanna thank you for your amazing videos every week. I am a second time tipper from Paris 🇫🇷, but definitely looking forward to tip more often in the future, cause i just got hired as a financial engineer in an insurance company after graduating from my masters degree in mathematics and finance. Your videos have literally kept me going every week and really helped me go through the stress of my first week at work. Thanks a lot and I hope you realize how much you help people from afar. Keep up the good work girls ❤
The Priscilla struggle is soooo real. I be watching DRItalia purely for my love for the queens, but the judges´ favoritism and delusions are soooo evident week by week.
Silvana's a loveable queen who's great at comedy challenges but she's been saved from low/bottom placement literally every other challenge and it's frustrating to see
I think Art talked about her getting to come back because producers fucked up her lip-sync and they had to re-film all of it, even tho she was already eliminated lol. I guess production felt bad since she already had a show with them so they brought her back to make amends
Pearl should have never made it to the finale of season 7 for even after she technically "woke up", she never really care to still be there in the show. Kennedy Davenport should have been in the season 7 finale with Violet and Ginger over Pearl considering how hard Kennedy worked in the show and Kennedy very clearly showed how much she cared about being in the show too.
I think the fact of her edit really didn't make enforce her making the finale. She had a big following with tied for the most wins and the 4th bedt PPE out of the top 5. But the controversy lies more with the chocolate bar, and not so much Bosco imo.
I didn't know it was controversial for Shannel to be a finalist? She deserved it more than 2 out of the other 3 finalists. She even should have been in that final 2 lip sync.
While winning the crown without winning a maxi-challenge was unprecedented in Drag Race, the same situation happened in the very first season of Project Runway when Jay McCarroll won the season despite not winnng a single challenge during the season.
@@matiasvalentine2628 sorry but you got your facts wrong there: in her 2 season run she won 1 mini challenge, 3 maxi challenges and was in the bottom 6 times. Se famously holds the record for most bottom placements in a single season. She‘s a fantastic Queen but just an okay contestant.
Oooh Vivaldi making it was incensing. Keta did well in that week's challenge. They literally put her in the bottom while criticizing her for doing well that week. Cheating should have disqualified Vivaldi hands down. Her staying feels worse for her than getting the Willam could have.
Arguably all of the Vs the World (and if rumors are true global all stars) is the controversy of the favoritism. UK had all 4 queens from a Rupaul judged show make it. Canada had 1 Canadian queen (who was favored on both seasons) and 2 season 11 queens who were with Brooke Lynn. I won't comment on what the rumors say but it looks the same with Ru judging
Personally the most undeserving finalists for me are Kelly Roller, Jonbers, and Kendall Gender. Kelly did terribly on España 3 which was especially egregious when it was one of the most talented casts of all time, she shouldn't have won the comedy duos challenge at all and even if she was still brought back she deserved to go home after losing to Bestiah in the lip sync. Even in the final episode it should've been her and Hornella lip syncing but they did everything in their power to save Kelly despite her obviously never being contender for the crown. Jonbers was the worst kind of "fashion queen" where her fashion is all made by actual designers and purchased by her while everything she made on the season was hot garbage. She should've lip synced against Peppa in episode 3 and gone home, but she was dragged through that and later Snatch Game (where she was easily a contender for bottom 3) and the makeover where she did the worst by far. She even got an underserved double shantay when she underperformed in the lip sync. The fact that she still had an ego going into the finale was INSANE. Kendall (and Adriana a little) felt like the only contestant who got major favouritism on Canada 3. Her 1 win would've gone to Icesis if they didn't focus on the fact that she ran out of time, and she should've lip synced in the girl groups and makeover.
With ukvtw i heard that jujubee was having family problems right before getting on and ontop of that most of the designers bailed on her last minute so she went in basically at her lowest
Kandy was different compared to Kameron and Bosco. Kameron got a double save so she was saved by Ru. Bosco got the twist of the season. Kandy was literally told to sashay away but then Ru stopped her as she was leaving. She got eliminated. There's a difference.
Ellie 💎 is always the one that sticks out the most to me. She seems so lovely and sooooo creative but when she wasn’t in the bottom for the rusical I gagged
juju wasn’t necessarily burnt out by ukvtw. in the finale she said before she left she saw a picture of her mother and it brought up a lot of unresolved emotions. juju just wasn’t in the right headspace
I don't think track record matters in terms of who wins the season. As long as the queen dominates the finale even with no wins throughout the competition, that queen can win fairly. However, in Elecktra Bionic's case, she shouldn't have won because Farida Kant dominated the entire season and possibly the finale as well (haven't watched the season) but I'm assuming.
rebecca clearly won the makeover! the prompt was give the fighter Your look... rebecca was literally the only one who did... do your research ladies...
I think Bosco was pushed because she picked the golden chocolate bar. You're correct that some of her wins didnt make sense but production needed to frame her as a frontrunner because they knew she had the immunity. I still think she deserved her spot in the finals though.
For me the most undeserved finalists: Kandy (both for S13 and AllStars, neither was deserved, just pushed by RuPaul for reasons most of the fandom never understood) Art (Do I even need to explain?) Vivaldi (For me this eas the moment Holland got cancelled. Keta has been the worst robbery since Manila) Electra Bionic (The cognitive dissonance of her beating Farida)
I disagree with Mami Watta, she could’ve won episode 2, she could’ve won the performance thingy, and doing good constantly should be bring you to the finale, maybe not win but finale for sure.
To be fair, i don't think Elecktra Bionic is controversial as a finalist as much as she is as a winner. She performed pretty well the whole season and with a normal placement judging she would probably have been in the top every single week. The fact she was safe the whole season is more because they decided almost not to give that high placement
If the Jury Twist didnt Happen. Shangela would have Wonder fir sure And.. i loved Drag Race Germany. I live the cast but it was wierd to see Yvonne in the Finale and not Kelly Heelton
I wouldn't actually say Elecktra was a controversial *finalist*, just a controversial winner. She did stand out in the season as one of the most polished queens and she always succeeded in the challenges. Frankly, she could have won at least 1 in my opinion (at least that's what I felt at the time, been too long since I watched it to remember which). Even if her track record doesn't show it (because they only ever picked one high queen until the makeover), for me she was the standout of the season, second to Farida Kant. Luquisha was much more surprising to me.
DOWN UNDER IS FINDING ITS FOOTING!!!👍👍👍👍 DR ITALIA'S ELECTRA BIONIC WAS BEST FOR WIN AS THE PRIZE WAS REPRESENTING A COSMETIC COMPANY!!!! THEY WANTED "A FACE"!!!!👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤👍👍👍
Art being rude to production when she was eliminated (has that ever happened anywhere else so egregiously?) just added to my irritation when she was brought back for absolutely no reason.
I might be wrong on this one, but Ellie as far as I remember did fine, a lot better than Tayce, who was in the bottom a lot. I think in the first half she was good, after the covid hiatus she was not so good. But I feel like she had a better run than Tayce, but I haven't seen the season in a while. Edit: also Shannel was better than Raven and Juju? The judges were pretty hard on her and praised only Chad, as far as I remember.
Honestly as painful as it is .. Jonbers and Peppa.. I don’t know I thought both are amazing, but it was gonna be between Danny Or cheddar for the win.. since after the baby and Dakota win they just volleyed wins back and forth .. like tennis
Mami Watta!! We still say her name almost every day around the house... Whatta doll. Kelly Roller was "eeek." Baga Chips... MAJOR eeek. Sorry not sorry. Okay, I'm out.
Kelly Roller has got to be the clearest example for me. I find her endearing, but 2 bottom placements, an elimination and she still made it to the finale over Clover and Bestiah? The math ain't mathing.
Yes. Agreed. And Vivaldi too. Both for me are the most OMGWTF 😅
I thought you wrote Kelly Mantle at first 😆
Absolutely, even with favouritism she did terribly. They criticize Canary queens for their boots while saying nothing about Kelly's roller skates.

11 Ranking seasons from easiest to toughest
12 queens who Gained momentum at last
13 the challenges that are won most and least by winners like rusical zero and I believe design is the one where our winners do the great most of the time

I didn't know it was controversial for Shannel to be a finalist? She deserved it more than 2 out of the other 3 finalists. She even should have been in that final 2 lip sync.
Part of the reason she did that well (All Stars 1) was because of who she was paired with...
the car sounds in the back while theyre talking about drag race is sending me
Lol it’s the car revving in the background for a majority of the video that sent me rolling
While winning the crown without winning a maxi-challenge was unprecedented in Drag Race, the same situation happened in the very first season of Project Runway when Jay McCarroll won the season despite not winnng a single challenge during the season.
my day instantly gets better when I see a new Mangled Morning has been posted 🥰
Scarlett looks gorgeous!!!
Yall need to realise that they saying fan base who say are controversial..
I‘m really curious about how Roxxxy Andrews will do in an All Stars season when there‘s no Detox or Alaska to save her again and again.
Have you heard about the format?
She won 3 or 4 challenges, and is only at the bottom once.
@@matiasvalentine2628 sorry but you got your facts wrong there: in her 2 season run she won 1 mini challenge, 3 maxi challenges and was in the bottom 6 times. Se famously holds the record for most bottom placements in a single season. She‘s a fantastic Queen but just an okay contestant.
@tomclemens5345 i think they're on about her wins and bottom placements in all stars 9
@@SliceOfBluVelvet Oh ok. Well thanks for the clarification/spoiler
Ellie is one of the most polished queens I’ve ever seen!
I recently saw Art perform. She mentioned she is working on a book which will include the reason she was brought back.
I thought those motorcycles were outside of my place lol
Oooh Vivaldi making it was incensing. Keta did well in that week's challenge. They literally put her in the bottom while criticizing her for doing well that week. Cheating should have disqualified Vivaldi hands down. Her staying feels worse for her than getting the Willam could have.
I thought the Aliens were coming for ya’ll but glad to see ya’ll could finish the video 🤣
Roxy being saved over Alyssa almost made me quit the show. Alaska and Detox saving her made me side eye them till this day
italy 1's prize included being a model/brand ambassador for MAC so that how the winner was chosen
Arguably all of the Vs the World (and if rumors are true global all stars) is the controversy of the favoritism. UK had all 4 queens from a Rupaul judged show make it. Canada had 1 Canadian queen (who was favored on both seasons) and 2 season 11 queens who were with Brooke Lynn. I won't comment on what the rumors say but it looks the same with Ru judging
Of topic but did u notice the last 3 winners of uk were wearing black and gold for their finale look
Personally the most undeserving finalists for me are Kelly Roller, Jonbers, and Kendall Gender.
Kelly did terribly on España 3 which was especially egregious when it was one of the most talented casts of all time, she shouldn't have won the comedy duos challenge at all and even if she was still brought back she deserved to go home after losing to Bestiah in the lip sync. Even in the final episode it should've been her and Hornella lip syncing but they did everything in their power to save Kelly despite her obviously never being contender for the crown.
Jonbers was the worst kind of "fashion queen" where her fashion is all made by actual designers and purchased by her while everything she made on the season was hot garbage. She should've lip synced against Peppa in episode 3 and gone home, but she was dragged through that and later Snatch Game (where she was easily a contender for bottom 3) and the makeover where she did the worst by far. She even got an underserved double shantay when she underperformed in the lip sync. The fact that she still had an ego going into the finale was INSANE.
Kendall (and Adriana a little) felt like the only contestant who got major favouritism on Canada 3. Her 1 win would've gone to Icesis if they didn't focus on the fact that she ran out of time, and she should've lip synced in the girl groups and makeover.
the lawn mower is my inner sabotuer
Imho it was worth including Jonbers in the top 4 cuz otherwise we would never have had her amazing reaction meme to Danny winning! 🤣
With ukvtw i heard that jujubee was having family problems right before getting on and ontop of that most of the designers bailed on her last minute so she went in basically at her lowest
MERA!! SCARLETT!! Stun stun STUN!!
LOVED ELEKTRA FROM DOWN UNDER!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Love Kameron Michaels!!! Love to see her return!!!❤❤❤
Love to see Elle Diamond again!!! And Abby, too❤❤
Kandy was different compared to Kameron and Bosco. Kameron got a double save so she was saved by Ru. Bosco got the twist of the season. Kandy was literally told to sashay away but then Ru stopped her as she was leaving. She got eliminated. There's a difference.
I think a huge part of Baga’s mood on Vs the world was after Jimbo was so unfairly eliminated.
Ellie 💎 is always the one that sticks out the most to me. She seems so lovely and sooooo creative but when she wasn’t in the bottom for the rusical I gagged
juju wasn’t necessarily burnt out by ukvtw. in the finale she said before she left she saw a picture of her mother and it brought up a lot of unresolved emotions. juju just wasn’t in the right headspace
I don't think track record matters in terms of who wins the season. As long as the queen dominates the finale even with no wins throughout the competition, that queen can win fairly. However, in Elecktra Bionic's case, she shouldn't have won because Farida Kant dominated the entire season and possibly the finale as well (haven't watched the season) but I'm assuming.
rebecca clearly won the makeover! the prompt was give the fighter Your look... rebecca was literally the only one who did... do your research ladies...
Looking gorgeous!
Geneva karr vroom vroom in the background hahaha
I think Bosco was pushed because she picked the golden chocolate bar. You're correct that some of her wins didnt make sense but production needed to frame her as a frontrunner because they knew she had the immunity. I still think she deserved her spot in the finals though.
It’s dumb to believe that any of them at the start had a gold bar. Production kept all the bars and could easily give anyone the golden bar.
@@evo3481 im not dumb. what what ur saying.
For me the most undeserved finalists:
Kandy (both for S13 and AllStars, neither was deserved, just pushed by RuPaul for reasons most of the fandom never understood)
Art (Do I even need to explain?)
Vivaldi (For me this eas the moment Holland got cancelled. Keta has been the worst robbery since Manila)
Electra Bionic (The cognitive dissonance of her beating Farida)
I disagree with Mami Watta, she could’ve won episode 2, she could’ve won the performance thingy, and doing good constantly should be bring you to the finale, maybe not win but finale for sure.
I'm french, but as much as I love her, no she couldn't 😢
Not really.She should have left in the makeover. Like what the heck was that?
To be fair, i don't think Elecktra Bionic is controversial as a finalist as much as she is as a winner. She performed pretty well the whole season and with a normal placement judging she would probably have been in the top every single week. The fact she was safe the whole season is more because they decided almost not to give that high placement
The two that were brought back in Thailand season 2 - Kandy Zyanide and Kana Warrior should not have been brought back
I thought the Aliens were coming to get ya’ll so here’s a little thanks cause ya’ll are still here.
Hot rod cars outside??? LOL
Always thought that Baga in VS the world just didn't know why she signed up for no money again.
JUSTICE 4 KETA!
I guess Roxxy on AS2 but we know why she got there, love her to death but yes she was carried
Regular seasons Pearl Vivaldi
And Kelly Roller ..
The fact that you could put some winners on this list sheesh
Rebecca! No doubt about it… Hands-down, the definite, definite, definite!
If the Jury Twist didnt Happen. Shangela would have Wonder fir sure
And.. i loved Drag Race Germany. I live the cast but it was wierd to see Yvonne in the Finale and not Kelly Heelton
Kandy was pushed in both her seasons I would hate to see her return but the network loves her
I wouldn't actually say Elecktra was a controversial *finalist*, just a controversial winner. She did stand out in the season as one of the most polished queens and she always succeeded in the challenges. Frankly, she could have won at least 1 in my opinion (at least that's what I felt at the time, been too long since I watched it to remember which). Even if her track record doesn't show it (because they only ever picked one high queen until the makeover), for me she was the standout of the season, second to Farida Kant. Luquisha was much more surprising to me.
DOWN UNDER IS FINDING ITS FOOTING!!!👍👍👍👍
DR ITALIA'S ELECTRA BIONIC WAS BEST FOR WIN AS THE PRIZE WAS REPRESENTING A COSMETIC COMPANY!!!! THEY WANTED "A FACE"!!!!👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤👍👍👍
Art being rude to production when she was eliminated (has that ever happened anywhere else so egregiously?) just added to my irritation when she was brought back for absolutely no reason.
Haven’t started it yet but I feel like half of the Holland finalist will be on this.
I LOVE❤❤❤❤ ALL HOSTS!!!!👍👍👍👍
i’d see a video that was something like… “gave winner vibes edit but didn’t win”
I would add ginger minj to the allstars one. She should have gone home at the superbowl thing.
Karen and Art where the most well known I knew who they were for many years. I think that’s why they push them
Scarlett looks so damn good😍😍
WONDER IF KATYA WOULD COME BACK IN A VS THE WORLD RACE??? LOVE HER❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think electra bionic deserved the win. She was always in the top and also wqs the best in the final episode. And shes pretty 😄😄😄
Girl she was in the top once. She placed high in the makeover and every other challenge she was safe
You guys forget about one queen.... Lukisha Lubamba
Looking Gorge!!!❤❤🍷🍷
bosco won 3 times! I mean....
She was also outstanding as Fancy in The Daytona Wind.
Kandy and juujuu both shady being in the tops! Definalty got there by favouritism
Silky her first season Oop
I might be wrong on this one, but Ellie as far as I remember did fine, a lot better than Tayce, who was in the bottom a lot. I think in the first half she was good, after the covid hiatus she was not so good. But I feel like she had a better run than Tayce, but I haven't seen the season in a while. Edit: also Shannel was better than Raven and Juju? The judges were pretty hard on her and praised only Chad, as far as I remember.
Honestly as painful as it is .. Jonbers and Peppa.. I don’t know I thought both are amazing, but it was gonna be between Danny Or cheddar for the win.. since after the baby and Dakota win they just volleyed wins back and forth .. like tennis
Mami Watta!! We still say her name almost every day around the house... Whatta doll. Kelly Roller was "eeek." Baga Chips... MAJOR eeek. Sorry not sorry. Okay, I'm out.
