The thing with Jan is that she got critiques only 3 times, she was high gor Gays Anatomy because half the cast was high. But she was in fron of the judges in You don't know me(eveyone got critiques), Madonna the Rusical, and when she was enliminated in the comercial challege.
It's funny how we always think of Jan as the ultimate safe queen but it's only because everyone expected her to win the Rusical and she had this iconic face crack moment.
Aside from Daya, Kerri is also one of the safest queens in Season 14 so far. Both have 4/5 episodes being safe. If you don't count the talent shows, then Daya is the only one with 4/4 safe episodes. Other queens in that are Jasmine and Bosco with 3/5.
Another way to look at Elecktra Bionic getting the win from the judges is that they still saw what she presented and acknowledged that it was good enough to be safe (and there were many challenges where like half the queens would do well so being safe is still praiseworthy in itself) and despite getting no critiques/validation from them until basically the finale (because her high placement for the makeover was still kind of met with mixed reception from the judges) she didn't let that weigh her down and absolutely dominated the finale. But yeah, I do hate how way too many people look at being "safe" as automatically meaning they were mediocre, it ignores how many challenges exist where a good chunk of queens excel or Italia's weird format of having only 2 in the top (except for the week Enorma won where they had a bottom 3, Elecktra was easily one of the top 2 that week with the best runway) and also ignores how well the queen actually performed. If we look at say Rose, yes she's a "power top" and undoubtedly has the best record her season, but if you break down how well she actually performed in each episode, I can't think of another queen that literally did great every single challenge (even her one "low", she was dragged down by Tina but she still made Tina look great, Tina looked like a version of Rose and she sold the hell out of the runway Tina put her in) and it was for the longest season, which makes it even more amazing but she's never considered whenever it comes to the "Best overall track record"
I REALLY appreciate when you do these character looks. It’s fun, it’s campy and quirky but it’s always a complete look with your standard Mera face. It takes us out of the fantasy :(
Drag race Italia was an odd one. Most of the queens were called safe. There were no low placement and only one high placement (instead of 2). The chances of being safe are higher then.
I love that Dorothy quote and episode too!!! And that cash register guy doing price checks of the condoms on the loudspeaker: "And the extra sensitive for the blonde" or something to that effect!!
Mera, idea for a video! You and Scarlett could do a run through of challenges you’d do well in on DR/Dragula in the past, maybe some runway categories you had/had a cool concept for or maybe just things you might struggle with/lip sync songs you’d demolish, that sort of thing. Maybe a ‘which season would we slay’ type of vibe. Originally came for the DR breakdowns but a year in I’ve grown to love you gals so it would be cool to hear more about your strengths/visions as artists. Just a thought. 😘 x
I feel that queens like Jan and Scarlett Bobo feel/are viewed as safe because most of the time they hear the word SAFE regardless of being actually safe or high
I like the idea and it makes sense after the top and bottom video. I have a question tho: shouldn’t Etcetera be high in the third challenge, since she was in the winning team? Would make sense.
There's a slight difference with some saves. Either you're safe and not judged (denali in the bossy rossy show) or you're judged and deemed just safe, mostly seen from team challenges (scarlet envy in the commercial challenge on all stars)
I feel like the percentages are slightly misleading when the sample sizes are different. (For example, 66% safe for someone present on 10 episodes has more of an impact compared to someone who was safe 66% but only in 3 episodes). I'm by no means a statistician but I know there is a formula to correct for that.
I feel like this list would have been more impactful if you went by pure numbers of safe placements, since someone may have competed in 3 episodes and been safe 2 of them for 66%, but someone else could have competed in 10 episodes, been safe for 6 of them and only have 60%. Ultimately, it would have been more interesting to look at the queens with the most number of safe placements overall, since the percentages seem to favour early outs which doesn't feel like a fair comparison.
i haven't seen Italia yet but the fact that the season winner didn't win _one_ challenge...pardon??? what the fuck's going on here on this day in Italy
Elecktra slayed the finale, while Farida (the one with the best track record) was outshined by her. It all came down to the final challenge and it’s a pretty common thing in basically every italian reality show.
i'm the only one that's tired of the concept of being safe? i feel like all the queens put so much work, time and money into their drag, specially when they go on the show, only to be ignored by the judges? in my opinion they should give critiques to all the queens on the runway, even if it's just a small feedback and then choose the safe queens, like i know it would make the episode longer, but i wouldn't mind it
Weird way to do it tbh. I think you should have either set a cutoff episode (you cannot count if you are out before the midpoint because then you are not safe, you are just . . . unmemorable to the judges) or just do it by absolute numbers.
The ultimate safe Queen on a drag competition is Iris xc (Finalist of la más draga 4) 6 weeks in a row was safe,Then 4 weeks in a row Was high Never won a challenge, And Never landed in the bottom2 or was below safe
A good suggestion that sort of goes off this video. In some challenges that are in teams, the winning team doesn’t get critiqued. Jan was frustrated about the lack of critique even when she placed high due to her team winning and subsequently not getting critique. Should you make videos based upon ratio of how often queens received critiques and not. Hope this makes sense. Also been a long long time viewer. We have the same birthday, Mera, and I’m a lil ginger too. Love your videos I’d tip but I’m a broke college student.
Let's face it, that Italia was really weird. Cause there was no high queens except Elektra Last week. There was always only the 3 low and the winner, others were saved
Nope. There were always the bottom 2, the winner and then one other placement that depending on the critiques could be either high or low. In the first episode Ivana was considered high, in the second episode Luquisha was considered low. I honestly think that Italia’s format didn’t have high and low placements but just bttm2/safe/win.
How can you do safe queens including international and Dragula and forget The Riggory of UK season three in the double lamination of our fan favorites and safe queens
I applaud you for constantly bringing attention to Drag Race Italia and what a horrible mess it was…the judging was so bad especially Priscilla. I won’t even bother if there’s a second season and changes are not made. Very disappointing.
Eh Mo was high last episode. Or at least the way I read UK vs the World is that both episodes they had Two Bottom, Safe, Two High, Two Top. Baga and Blu got high critiques for their challenges in episode 1 and other than Jimbo, Pangina, Mo and Janey all got mixed critiques for episode 2. And there was no suspense; Mo and Pangina are declared safe together.
they literally just did a video about Bottom Queens, go check it out ua-cam.com/video/z1g3w1DV8E4/v-deo.html . also people have lives and Mera has had guests on the channel MANY times lol
absolutely loved the putting together the extended list for you! loving the video! 💞💞
YASS SEDDERA DOING A LIST FOR MERA’S VID (btw this is zinnia lol)
@@mikeymichmike omg hiiii zinniaaaaaaa
Sedderas youtube era!!!
@@BambiBelAir BAMBIIIIII
@@BambiBelAir HI BAMBI!!!!!
Laganja once said in untucked "if I wanted to be safe I'd walk into a condom" and I still think about it sometimes.

I love how 50% of this video is just Chloe saying "Ok" 😭
Isn’t that 90% of the co hosts on this channel😭 sorry but most people just agree with her I stg
@@angel204bby FOR REAL
@@angel204bby guests make no sense in Mera's videos lol
They are just... there...
@@saidlakolatroniczucomg2094 my girls, scarlet, tabbi, and chastity will always serve their opinion
I must say, Mera's make up is giving me Maddie Morphesis vibes. And I love it!
Love Scarlett but you always have good guests. Living for the yellow and hot pink. Golden Girls is everything.

Let’s not forget about Shannel. The OG robbed queen from season 1. 🥰
Max was indeed underated. Would love to see her more.
I love how mera shout outs her inspiration for her vids… butterface take notes
I REALLY appreciate when you do these character looks. It’s fun, it’s campy and quirky but it’s always a complete look with your standard Mera face. It takes us out of the fantasy :(
She always sells us the fantasy! That mug is unclockable, so why change it!
@@guernseyviking I think it’s the lip, it’s always the same.
I was thinking like where is Denali, but she actually was in the top a lot.
When I think about Dorothy 'Shady Pines Mom' always comes to my Mind...🌲🌲🌲
Scarlet Bobo says hello.
even if scarlett bob was “high,” she did t win a main challenge until the penultimate episode.
Omg I just noticed the Roxxxy Andrews doll on the table. I want one.
Drag race Italia was an odd one. Most of the queens were called safe. There were no low placement and only one high placement (instead of 2). The chances of being safe are higher then.
lowkey thought scarlet bobo would be on the list
She was trying to give herself the Jan edit, out of 9 competitive episodes she was safe for 3 of them
Oh Mera, living your Golden Girls fantasy. But the fact that you referenced my favorite Golden Girls quote. CONDOMS, ROSE, CONDOMS, CONDOMS, CONDOMS!
I love that Dorothy quote and episode too!!! And that cash register guy doing price checks of the condoms on the loudspeaker: "And the extra sensitive for the blonde" or something to that effect!!
Chloe is serving peach ring gummy realness 😮

i love chloe so much her smile and laugh are everything
Im suprise scarlett bobo on canada s1 is not there
I love Chloe's laugh , iconic
I feel that queens like Jan and Scarlett Bobo feel/are viewed as safe because most of the time they hear the word SAFE regardless of being actually safe or high
Mera giving maddy morphosis realness with this look
I really like yalls dynamic !
i was surprised to not see dida ritz on this list
What about Eureka in all stars 6 - she was safe 8 episodes before being eliminated and then of course coming back when she won against Silky
Honey Davenport is unaided looks were great!!!
Hoping we can see merch of Mera Mangle in all four Golden Girls on a T-shirt perhaps?
So many All Stars 3 queens I want to see again
Hello Mera,can you make video where you discuss BEST & WORST MOMENTS OF JUDGING PANEL?,THANK YOU
You didn’t choose between the chains or the pearls Mera.
I like the idea and it makes sense after the top and bottom video.
I have a question tho: shouldn’t Etcetera be high in the third challenge, since she was in the winning team? Would make sense.
the tops of that ep were scarlet, kita, & anita they didn’t judge in teams
@@davidm2345 oh yea true and I found that so dumb. Thanks 😊
Quartet girl. The word was quartet.
She was probably thinking foursome but didn't want to say say lmao

I’d like to see that too.
Elecktra Bionic should have been High for Snatch Game!

6 weeks in a row was safe,Then 4 weeks in a row Was high
Never won a challenge, And Never landed in the bottom2 or was below safe
Where is Scarlet Bobo? And Jimbo.
I expected Charlie Hides to be on this list
where is Scarlett Bobo?

you should do a list of questionable wins
Mera looks BEAutiful in this Dorothy Zbornak look 🥰
Ngl Gia Gunn is my problematic fav on Drag Race
Omg Chloe that LOOK
I am confusion... isn't 4/6=66%. Are the counting high as ultimately safe? cause then that would make more sense at like 83%... Talking about Elektra
I applaud you for constantly bringing attention to Drag Race Italia and what a horrible mess it was…the judging was so bad especially Priscilla. I won’t even bother if there’s a second season and changes are not made. Very disappointing.
I thought I'd see Blair St. Clair from AS5 -57% and Kylie from season 2 i think 75%??? I dunno how they calculate the percentages though...
My bad, blair may have been high placement
in some episodes..
Out of all these, Max was robbed - like you say 2 wins then out - she won more than some finalists!
Well, we’ll see if Mo is safe again in tomorrow’s episode!
Eh Mo was high last episode. Or at least the way I read UK vs the World is that both episodes they had Two Bottom, Safe, Two High, Two Top. Baga and Blu got high critiques for their challenges in episode 1 and other than Jimbo, Pangina, Mo and Janey all got mixed critiques for episode 2. And there was no suspense; Mo and Pangina are declared safe together.
Xunami I think breaks all these records.
Mera you look amazing
Cmon drag golden girls !
Ellie diamond? Cheryl???
I see Chloe, I like the video. She is so sweet.
Why not do worst track record or worst bottoms ?Also we’re scarlet 😭
they literally just did a video about Bottom Queens, go check it out ua-cam.com/video/z1g3w1DV8E4/v-deo.html . also people have lives and Mera has had guests on the channel MANY times lol
I thought ginger ming would be on this list for all stars 2, as she was safe then safe then eliminated
12th..! Good Mangled Morning Mera and Chloe! MWAHAAA! xo :)
Maybe we'll soon have our first season winner who was in the bottom every episode! (Jujubee)
How about naza form biz
Omg I'm really early the vid was posted like a minute ago

I think Xunami breaks all these records.
The Bea look is RIGHT.
Sending love ❤ to ya gal's hope ya have a good day
