Dude im still not over sherry pie being safe in that comedy challenge. she was LITERALLY ON STAGE FOR 17 MINUTES

Tamisha being low in the disco challenge when obviously gotmik was the worst overall still upsets me

Most baffling low placement has gotta be chi chi in divas live. I’ve watched it so many times and chi chi does so well and it just makes no sense to me how they saw her performance as bottom worthy. Rest in power angel❤️

Shuga Cain in the magic show - everyone in her group should have been in the top. What the heck.

The way Akeria was treated on AS6 makes me mad to this day!!! Her being in the bottom for her Prince performance for the Super Bowl challenge was CRIMINAL. I don't blame her at all for refusing to participate in the rudemption battle.

The fact that Milk was safe for that unrecognizable Celine impersonation while they put Chi Chi in the bottom still makes me mad!

Aja being low for the dumb soup can challenge was literal bs

Gottmik not being in the bottom 3 for the Discomentary is the biggest robbery of all time.

I will literally NEVER get over Robbie being safe over Laila... Laila's look was INCREDIBLE! Every time I rewatch that episode it drives me nuts.

The first thing I thought of was Tina Burner in that weird social media rusical where she was literally 2nd place behind Rosé. Glad it's on this list

🏃🏼Alaska walked so Milk could run, and then Alaska ran faster 🏃🏼

Shuga Cain was done SO dirty, most people forget it even happened! When she was in the winning team, but still was put in bottom 2 when there were clearly worse people to choose from, but of course, those Queens were popular and brought in more drama.

The only placement I will ever argue over is that S***** Pie should have been in the bottom over Jaida in the stand up challenge - Jaida did not do well in the challenge sure but I think the pie one going over her time limit messed with Jaida (one of the reasons she flopped) and ultimately, Jaida had a waaaay better runway

People seem to be forgetting Nina West in episode 1 (the design challenge). She flopped so hard but they were like “but you’re Nina west!”

for tina burner they literally spent the whole time talking about how when she had to fake her death, she didn't lip sync to the last part of her performance and she was punished for it... there were people that struggled more but whatever.

The problem they have is the "mandatory 3 low queens/bottom 2". There have been episodes where only one person did poorly but they threw someone into the bottom just to satisfy the lipsync requirement.

Season 13 when Denali was placed low and eliminated. Just because this makeover challenge was in pairs, she was placed in the bottom with Olivia. But in the critiques, they said she did a great job with Olivia’s makeover and all the bad critique was for Olivia. Denali should not have been in the bottom because of her partner.

🎶Big girl walkin down the sturdy street henemenneneneh dirty feet🎶

The Sherry-favoritism screwed Heidi more than anyone. We all know Heidi should have won the World's Worst challenge and Heidi should have been safe in the monologues. She would have made the final 5 with 2 wins and at least one less bottom putting her in a good position to make the final 4.

How did the judges expect Alaska to dress for a boy part?

Thousands percent. Jax did not deserve that low placement. I loved the plaid look.

Omg thank you for mentioning Darianne in the rap challenge. I still stand they wanted Milk gone but they didn’t think Darianne couldn’t beat Milk in the lip sync so they put TKB despite having a better verse and a way better runway

Aiden Zhane not lipsynching in the ball ball will always tickle me. Cuz she rlly was so nonchalant ab almost everything😭😭😭😭

It will forever bug me that Cheryl Hole was placed in the bottom 2 for the makeover challenge when she should have won it.

Orion also should have been saved for that legendary moment where RuPaul says: "You're so beautiful. Do you know that?!" and she goes:" Yeah 🙂"

I genuinely don't get why Maddy Morphosis was low in the talent show.... She showcased TALENT and did it very good imo

💩🥧 should’ve been in the bottom for the debate too, she just did her snatch game character, which I don’t remember laughing at her performance.

you missed suga cane the most unfair bottom placement in history

alaska had 3 lows in season 5 and i honestly think she could’ve had 0. like they put her as low for the kids show because of the boy drag but she was solidly safe in the actual challenge (and as group leader if the show wanted they probably could’ve even had her as high), she was low in the can i get an amen challenge for wearing sunglasses and “hiding” even though again she gave a solidly safe performance in the challenge. for the makeover i definitely think she deserved bottom 3 but honestly she could’ve been bottom 2

I think the ulterior logic of the low placement is clearest in that Vanity Milan placement you mentioned. They literally said smth like "you were fine, but is it too little too late?" Which literally isnt even about the challlenge, it's just the producers saying their storyboarding out loud lol

Potentially controversial but I think Scarlet Envy being in the bottom in the pink table talk could absolutely be on here, I thought her story about her mothers was endearing and she had some jokes in there that were really funny like saying she got her moms on a buy 1 get 1 sale. It was just clear the judges never saw her considering she could have won episodes 1 AND 2 and didn’t even put her in the top for them

Georgous's Glamazon Prime sewing challenge is the most outrageous win that should've been in the bottom. They absolutely robbed Lady Camden.

Latrice Royale had literally the only memorable moment in the Political campaign challenge but was put in the bottom. I think it was so she could send Dida home

Have you ever done a "Queens who clearly won a challenge...but didn't" video? :) I'll start... Shea and Monet should have won the Girl Group Challenge on AS7...they were amazing in Titanic!

Denali should not have gone home for olivias bad job. No shade to olivia she is absolutely wonderful but that was some foolery judging that ep

I say Ahora’s snatch game low placement is about Ru not getting British cultural references. After seeing her character’s appearance on the Crystal Maze, I really appreciated it. Had Michelle been playing with the queens for snatch game, she probably would’ve done better.

Miz Cracker being low for the Cher challenge was an odd one for me… if you watch again, you’ll hear Ru cracking up during almost her entire performance. I thought it was a solid safe, but they threw her a low placement

I still don’t get why Jax was low for the Haus ball, I thought her look was very cute and it gave the vibe of what that haus was going for tbh some of the safe looks were worse

The most baffling low placement to me was Lala Ri with her bag look.

I still can't believe people treat a fan-created point system with no bearing on the show whatsoever as gospel. High-low low-high--IT'S ALL MADE UP. Anyone who brings up track record in terms of this stupid point system just sounds like Loosey trying to count mini challenge wins. Delusion.

THANK YOU for bringing up Orion Story in that ball challenge! I’ve always always felt like she could have been in the top or honestly maybe even could have won it, her black and white look in particular was stunning and I never understood why they put her low and I’ve never seen anyone else say anything about it

I've always found it weird how seriously fans take Low (and High) placements into account when discussing track records since they aren't really even explicitly stated by the show - and they just exist/don't exist depending on that specific episode's production. There are a lot of episodes where "low" placements feel really arbitrary - like Daya Betty in the Dragcon panels. She didnt do badly at all, they just needed another person to critique. There are a lot of similar examples of episodes where the low placement barely exists/is chosen pretty arbitrarily (UK2 is full of these, as you said. Another one is Lawrence being "low" in the Lockdown Superhero challenge - a placement which makes zero sense from both a storyline and performance perspective). Similarly, in AS8, they just pick 2-3 queens and critique them both positively and negatively - without really saying if they were high or low? All of those placements feel weird and arbitrary (which probably doesnt help with riggory complaints). If you do a similar video about high placements - I'd love to hear you talk about AS7 - since the "high" placements in that feel very arbitrarily chosen for storyline (and they critique every queen as if they were high).

Ok but I will never understand how Robin was in the top and Jax was in the bottom for the sewing challenge. Robin is so talented and such a good queen, but who tf puts shiny black boots with a plaid look? The look was not even cohesive yet Jax had a full fantasy in her look. Full highway robbery.

Honestly I feel for the Pie One’s comedy challenge they should have skipped the lip sync entirely and just sent her home because going over that much was not okay.

UNPOPULAR OPINION: Widow was AMAZING in the Choices.. The uneducated joke was rlly good like why did they give it such a bad edit lmaoo

This kind of thing is why i dont care about track records. I disagree with the judges soooooo often

In the DragCon Panel challenge on Season 14, Daya Betty said on the show that she knew she was thrown in the bottom because they needed a bottom 3, and there was no chance that the bottom two wouldn't be Jasmine and Jorgeous. I forget if this was in Untucked or the main episode, but it was made very clear that there were only two bottom-worthy performances in that challenge.

If there were a way for us to still get Jaida and Heidi lip syncing but still send 🍒 🥧 home, I would’ve loved that

I definitely agree with Jax, it just seems like producers didn’t want to push her cause she’s one of the more talented and put together queens that season

the fact that Jax was in the bottom for the ball challenge when the look she made was not only well constructed but it was also cute and unique SO RIGGED I really hate this show sometimes

Veronica Green’s low placement instead of the bottom 2 is the ever classic: “The runway matters only when it’s a queen production doesn’t want to go yet.” You could have the most fabulous runway but if they don’t want you going further then they don’t even consider it. And yeah, Ginny Lemon could see the riggory from miles away.

Yeah I still do think that the one LOW placement that stands out to me for not being correct was Chi Chi for the Divas Live challenge in AS3. She did great as Patti Labelle.

if this video is only about jax on the design challenge i wont be mad

Kahana’s low placement this week was such transparent riggory to keep Jimbo safe…

Sherry also did poorly in the Choices debate but so much was cut out. I think it would have been Gigi vs Sherry that week.

Asia O’Hara being low in the snatch game didn’t make a lot of sense since she and The Vixen we’re equally as bad and we’re playing off of each other. But they didn’t wanna risk losing Asia given that Vixen could outperform her in the lip sync so they just threw Mo Heart in the bottom instead so I’d say Asia got saved by the low for sure.

milk should've been low instead of chi chi for divas live... imagine her reaction

They wanted Jax out so they could feature Anetra. They both filled the same niche but I'm going to argue Jax is both a stronger dancer and stuntwoman than Anetra and producers could not have that when they wanted the latter in the Top 2. Even in the finale they kept praising Anetra's performance abilities while completely ignoring Jax who was SITTING RIGHT THERE.

I don't know that it was necessarily "bottom" placements, but both Raja and Jinx lost those final lipsyncs in AS7 and you can't tell me otherwise. The riggory was super obvious.

The reason I can’t fall in love with S12 is due to the obvious favoritism towards Gigi and Shitty, it makes it not enjoyable that they didn’t even deserve some of their higher placements. So happy Jaida got appreciated but truly the one who got their well-deserved praise, where everyone else had tp live in Gigi’s and Shitty’s shadow. Like what

Tina’s low placement is still messing with my mind.

another interesting one is nina west from episode one of season 11, the design one 💀 the judges straight up said during deliberations that nina’s outfit was rlly poorly made but sending her home episode 1 would be (rupaul’s words) “unamerican” because she’s nina west 😭 just a rlly interesting moment i’m shocked they aired

For France I would say Big Bertha being saved from the btm during the ball and them throwing Soa in the btm just to see her lip sync to Aya Nakamura was quite obvious riggory, but we love to see Soa lip sync sooo what can I say 🧚‍♀️

Jimbo not being in the bottom this week is WILD to me

Good thing you didn’t do Down Under. It would’ve made this video twice as long. Kita and Elektra did NOT deserve to be bottom 2 in the talent show episode. It absolutely should’ve been Karen and Art (Who had no business being back anyway) with Karen going home.

amazing analysis!! love seeing you on screen and seeing your passion. Thanks for the awesome video!!

I think a baffling low was Suga Cain’s low placement in the magic show challenge.

I am missing Miss Fame. I remember how excited I was when I knew Miss Fame was casted on that season. Also, after watching all the seasons again, season 7 became my top 3 seasons of regular drag race

My suggestions: Tina Burner - S13 Rusical (should have been SAFE and Elliott should have been low instead) Le Fil - UK4 Improv and Rusical (should have been BTM2 for improv and HIGH for Rusical) A’whora - UK2 Snatch Game (she delivered the second best performance of the episode over Bimini, and she was bottom 3 over Sister and Ellie what the hell) DeJa Skye - S14 Rusical Sasha Colby - S15 Stand Up (Anetra vs Sasha should have lip synced, with it being a double shantay) Elektra Shock - DRDU1 Makeover (Art should have been low instead of her)

hunty i was GAGGED when they placed Jax in the bottom that episode. like tf? u could place that look in any other season's design challenge and it'd still be safe at minimum, i was so mad

Chi chi had one of the best performances she should have have save because after she basically quits

Jasmine Kennedie being low for the design challenge is fine to me, however her being bottom 2 doesn't make sense especially when compared to the winner, or Kerri

As someone who has endured a lot of meetings, I can say with certainty that the people who say up front that they won't use all their time (say, 2 minutes) can definitely go on for 15 minutes without seeming to realize that they went over. I think they just like the sound of their own voice.

joslyn fox in the interview deserved to be there WAYY more than Trinity. 1. Trinity did bad in the challenge, but Joslyn did worse. 2. Trinity had the best runway of the night while Joslyn had the worst

one that always sticks out to me is dusty ray bottom's low placement in S10 E1. i for SURE thought she was in the top.

Not putting Fame in the bottom for Snatch Game is the root for one of the saddest robberies in Drag Race history. If Max (who had two wins at that point) sends home Fame, she definitely survives the makeover, Pearl and Violet land in the bottom for the John Waters challenge (pearl goes home), and Max at least makes it to the top 6. Dancing with Kennedy, if it's judged in teams, she probably survives, individually, she and Trixie could be the bottom. If she's against Trixie, she probably moves forward to the ball where I think she was capable enough to be safe. Which means, Max very likely makes final 4 and it would be between her and Kennedy on who Ru chooses to send home. Personally, I think she'd get rid of Max in this scenario, but Max would have gotten so much bigger of a following in this alternate timeline and likely would have been back for AS3 or AS4.

Deja in the Rusical.

And thank you so much for this video, the accuracy is amazing, I feel seen lol.

TKB getting read for her verse in the rap music video challenge still annoys me. If anything, she had the best verse in both presentation and flow. It was clear it was a panel of judges that dont listen to rap being asked to critique rap.

Dariennes rap is iconic

All of Jimbo's low placements on Canada 1 were completely underserved.

To this day I'm so confused why le fil was in the bottom, she (like everyone) did so well but her look was one of the best of the runway...

God I love Fame, she is such an icon

We can also include- Uk4 Dakota was thrown into bottom 2 in design challenge when she was the only other challenger to obvious front runners Danny and cheddar. UK2 tayce being thrown into bottom multiple times just to eliminate girls they didn't see in top 4.

Loving the literary, alliteration 😍

I need a moment to recover from "Its my favorite season, I think Ive watched it all the way through like five times" as someone who has watched all Drag Race seasons at least 5 times all the way. Good lord

Great video! Also, I live for your sweaters. Very 60s, 70s. Purrr lol

the thing with sh*rry being saved from the bottom in the standup challenge despite going over the time limit still makes me mad bc that shit shouldn’t slide and the judges haven’t let it slide before or after that 😭 like for example, (kinda) recently miss jade so from philippines s2 was put in the btm3 for the commercial challenge despite doing the best in the challenge bc she went like a minute or two over the limit, so the fact that sh*rry was allowed to go THAT far off without a btm2 is insane to me

I somewhat disagree about the Alaska one. He came as himself with eyeliner, not in boy drag. Milk was in actual boy drag with the bald cap etc

Idk if you’ve already done this but would love this style of video but for queens that should’ve been safe that were in the bottom 2! Keep up the great content ❤️

Every time you say shitty pie it kills me🤣also I’d add SLM in the workout challenge in season 3. I’m sure she was low just so the judges could call her shy, but that was the challenge she came out of her shell and did really well

Silky being in the bottom 3 for playing an instrument and singing at the same time (an ACTUAL TALENT/SKILL) really pissed me off.

Chi Chi DeVayne being placed low in the All Stars 3 Rusical still blows my mind because she should have won it. She elevated her character better than anyone despite not having a joke-filled script like Shangela and Dela.

27:45 you were crazy for this vanity shot lmfao

I FORGOT ABOUT THE DISQUALIFIED ONE GOING EXTREMELY OVER ON THE STANDUP CHALLENGE that was real legit riggory I can’t believe they showed us how rigged that was

*_"SHITTY_** PIE" - I. 👏 LOVE. 👏 THAT. 👏*

Widow von Du on the episode they eliminated her. She was far from the worst, her look was amazing and they just talked some bs about inner saboteur etc, just because she wasn't in drama and they wanted to keep others. She was definitely not in the bottom, I felt so offended on her behalf.

off topic but you're looking so good, love the hair game 🎯

Nicely timed video

i was so confused by a'whora being low for snatch game
