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.

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.

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.

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!

Bosco literally won 3 challenges - I think her spot in the finale was deserved lol

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.

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

I'm surprised Luquisha from Italia S1 isn't on this list.

Roxy being saved over Alyssa almost made me quit the show. Alaska and Detox saving her made me side eye them till this day

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

Definitely Kandy! The levels of riggory to get her into the final was insane

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.

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

I could not disagree more with Bosco, honestly I connected with her dry wit and sarcasm most out of anyone on that season.

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.

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)

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.

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.

I don't think Bosco being in the finale was shocking at all

How Pearl got to the season 7 finale still baffles me to this day

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

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

Bosco had the most wins that season, she literally excelled in most challenges. Nothing controversial at ALL.

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.

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.

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

That engine revving up is truly SENDING Mera lol

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.

the car sounds in the back while theyre talking about drag race is sending me

Gurl I'm supprised yall weren't outside finding the person making all the crazy noise

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.

my day instantly gets better when I see a new Mangled Morning has been posted 🥰

Being honest, they could put Juju in whatever seasons they want and I’ll still eat her up every single time 11:06

Lol it’s the car revving in the background for a majority of the video that sent me rolling

I think a huge part of Baga’s mood on Vs the world was after Jimbo was so unfairly eliminated.

Scarlett looks gorgeous!!!

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 those motorcycles were outside of my place lol

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.

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.

Of topic but did u notice the last 3 winners of uk were wearing black and gold for their finale look

Imho it was worth including Jonbers in the top 4 cuz otherwise we would never have had her amazing reaction meme to Danny winning! 🤣

the lawn mower is my inner sabotuer

I think out of German finalists, the winner herself is the most controversial one. She frankly lost the lip-sync in the roast and was not a standout in the challenges at all.

Looking gorgeous!

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

Kandy was pushed in both her seasons I would hate to see her return but the network loves her

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)

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.

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.

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

Kennedy in interview recently said she'd not come back to RPDR. 😢😪

I thought the Aliens were coming for ya’ll but glad to see ya’ll could finish the video 🤣

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

italy 1's prize included being a model/brand ambassador for MAC so that how the winner was chosen

Hot rod cars outside??? LOL

The fact that you could put some winners on this list sheesh

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...

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.

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

MERA!! SCARLETT!! Stun stun STUN!!

Geneva karr vroom vroom in the background hahaha

I would add ginger minj to the allstars one. She should have gone home at the superbowl thing.

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

Yall need to realise that they saying fan base who say are controversial..

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 ❤

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.

Love to see Elle Diamond again!!! And Abby, too❤❤

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’d see a video that was something like… “gave winner vibes edit but didn’t win”

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

Catching up on the Patreon and had an epiphany that I too hate the melon family. Thanks for your enlightenment xx

Thanks!

The two that were brought back in Thailand season 2 - Kandy Zyanide and Kana Warrior should not have been brought back

Love Kameron Michaels!!! Love to see her return!!!❤❤❤

Always thought that Baga in VS the world just didn't know why she signed up for no money again.

Roxxxy did get her redemption!!! Now there’s no controversy

JUSTICE 4 KETA!

Silky her first season Oop

You guys forget about one queen.... Lukisha Lubamba

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

Rebecca! No doubt about it… Hands-down, the definite, definite, definite!

LOVED ELEKTRA FROM DOWN UNDER!!!❤❤❤❤❤

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.

Abby OMG revving outside ur house XD

Not the homophobic motorbiker in the background

Haven’t started it yet but I feel like half of the Holland finalist will be on this.

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.

Did candy DESERVE to stay? no is she good at drag or likeable. Does candy DESERVE the spot she took up. ABSOLUTELY NOT! She is amazing and did listen but she was not at the level of the others. It was clear she was NEVER going to win.

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 😄😄😄

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.

Pitita winning S3 españa was surely a choice. Clover had s GOOD chance but for some bizarre reason, mysogyny prevented her to win the crown (and many challenges). She literally won the stand up challenge but because Kelly is BFF with the host, they gave her and Vania the win. Imagine how good of a season would've win if she won cuz she would've brought back Visa. All pf that just to push Pitita for the crown (for nothing I may say. I have nothing against her but she's highly unlikable and on the court of public opinion, Visa/Clover ended up winning)

Karen and Art where the most well known I knew who they were for many years. I think that’s why they push them

please watch drag race italia😭 the first season was really questionable for its production and queens breaking rules (enorma and ava said a “bestemmia”, a swear against god who is very popular amongst italians but absolutely forbidden on any reality show), season 2 was great, but season 3 is the it one for me. They got rid of Tommaso, there is such a HIGHER BUDGET and challenges and runways are amazing. Priscilla also seems way kinder and i feel like she learned from her mistakes. Italia is still a very conservative and homophobic country lead by right-wing, we NEED a show like this to be seen and celebrated🫶

girl whoever is revving and honking outside is pissing me off jesus christ, get it together truck

Bosco was wild cuz she wore the same outfit the whole season

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"!!!!👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤👍👍👍
