Twelve seasons. Five All Stars off-shoots. 126 queens. That’s a lot of charm, individuality, nerve and skill, mother.
But not all RuPaul’s Drag Race queens are produced equivalent.
With the program going back to the Emmys on Sunday, Sept. 20 to see if it’ll take house its 3rd successive prize for Outstanding Competition Program—not to point out a prospective 5th Outstanding Host Emmy for RuPaul—we believed the timing was best to open the library, checked out these queens to dirt, and identify which of Mama Ru’s women was worthy of to be in our Top 20. Why? Because reading is basic. (And likewise, due to the fact that any chance we get to discuss Drag Race as “work,” we’ll take it.)
Which queens made it and which needed to sashay away? It wasn’t simple narrowing this down. The large magnitude of skill amongst the fantastic drag queens that the program has actually presented the world to is genuinely a force to be considered. This program hasn’t generated a market unto itself, total with an annual bi-coastal weekend-long fan convention, for no factor. And as you have a look at our list, you’ll observe that merely winning a season wasn’t enough for some queens to make it. (You’ll likewise observe the list is restricted to queens who have actually appeared on the U.S. flagship. Someday we’ll think about the queens from the U.K., Canada, Holland and Thailand—however today ain’t that day.)
