I would have put season 15 at the lowest. It was written in the stars that the moment Sasha Cobley entered the workroom she was destined to win

Now Sister! Season 15 was the LEAST close. Sasha Colby won when they cast her. Short of RuPaul Andre Charles competing against Sasha was gon stop her from winning.

in no world was anetra going to win against sasha..LMFAO

"Pearl is...still around...and doing things and we love her for it" 😂

S16’s final feeling so ambiguous & even having a surprising winner shows just how good production had played this season. Even 2 the very last second, I didn’t think they were crowning Nymphia even tho I believed she deserved winning. I don’t even think Nymphia thought she was winning. A double crowning felt more plausible than Nymphia winning alone - Y’know, until Congeniality was also a double win with Sapphira.

baby i love love love anetra but no one was beating sasha EVER, the moment she walked in she won

Finally another drag race analysis content creator. I can't get enough of this type of content. If you keep this up I'm sure you'll be up there with Jack Fed and the drag race detective

Social media was the worst thing to ever happen to drag race. It used to be a genuine surprise for most of us who won but now everyone always knows what’s happening and the elimination list before the season even airs. Can’t avoid spoilers anywhere.

I'm sorry but being on number 4 and not having season 15 listed yet is crazy. The whole season was called the Sasha Colby meet and greet lol

With Aquaria slipping during the finale, IIRC she actually slipped on one of Asia’s dead butterflies and that was another one of the reasons they gave her the tie

My ranking: 16- Season 15 ( i mean it was sasha colby meet and greet) 15- Season 2 ( Even i love raven, i can't lie that Tyra was the hole package and the winner from the start) 14- Season 6 ( call me crazy but bianca devoured the full season and was above Courtney and Adore) 13- Season 12 ( i put this season here for some reasons , 1- the hole ch*rry p*e situation, 2- gigi almost getting disqualified, drag race doesn't crown the type of queen in a row and crystal kinda has a similar style with yvie ( the past winner) so that left us with Jaida) 12- Season 10 : ( I know that aquaria was going to win , like in that moment eureka was having issues with the fandom , asia's butterflies sabotage and kameron having only one win and also having 3 bottoms in a row). 11- Season 8: ( It was between her and kim chi , but bob stole the final and also based on the edit i kinda know that she it was going to take it). 10- Season 13 : ( Even if symone doesn't have the best track record i know she was going to win the moment they announced the lipsync for the crown ( no shade to gottmik and rose , but neither of them are good lipsyncers) and the last person who is kandy muse having 1 win and 3 bottoms). 9- Season 5: (The whole jinx vs rolaskatox history and track record is the moment that i think jinx was going to win , like i don't think they wanna crown the villans of the story). 8- Season 4: ( I don't think Jaremi was an option for the crown for the most people at that moment , and chad did really well in the first half of the season , but losses momentum in the second half). 7- Season 11 ( I mean brooke and yvie were in the top for almost the whole season , so for me they were the clear top 2 , so it would base on the finale lipsync). 6- Season 14: ( Based on the top 5 , i know daya wasn't going to win because she is a returning queen , angeria dominated the first half , but really loses momentum at the second half , bosco had the chocolate candy bar and people weren't happy with that , so that leave us with lady candem and willow pill). 5- Season 1: ( When bebe send ongina home , the only competition that left for bebe was nina , so it would base on the final lipsync). 4- Season 7: ( It could be anyway like violet for the edit , ginger for the track record and pearl because she was fan favorite and wins the poll at that moment). 3- Season 9: ( Many of the people think that it was between shea or trinity , so it would be for gaggier that if they know that sasha would slay the lip sync agaisnt shea and being part of the top 2 with peppermint and wins). 2- Season 16: ( Even if i love nymphia, i was kinda expecting that Sapphira would win the season and also it was pretty close like nymphia has 3 wins and 0 bottoms ,and Sapphira and Plane having 4 wins and 1 bottom. Also honestly based on the edit i would think that they would crown either plane or sapphira, but nymphia really stole that final lipsync). 1- Season 3: I mean all the top 3 has 3 challenge wins , but to be more specific, Manila and Raja have the same track record so...).

Gigi ended up refilming in her house because they said if she didn’t she would have been eliminated

I'd still put Season 3 at the top. Raja, Manila, and Alexis were just absolutely perfect.

I hate how people always undermine Ginger Minj. She could've easily won both S7 and AS6.

drag race analysis content is my favorite

I hate how people discredit Jaida’s win by saying they only didn’t give it to Gigi because of her filming controversy. She is such a deserving winner and won the finale.

baby, u got season 9 all wrong... sasha was the runner up to shea in the eyes of the producers and sasha was the fan favourite (by quite a margin, may i add). thats why trinity chose peppermint, btw. when they found out about the format, trinity and peppermint made a pact that they would choose each other because that was the only way to secure that one of them made to top 2, otherwise, the producers would push shea and sasha as the top 2 (and in that case, i think shea would've won)

No one in S15 was gonna win except Sasha. That’s the least close competition. It was Sasha Colby meet and greet

god the way you talk drag race is amazing, you really make it feel like a competition which i feel gets watered down a lot when drag race is talked about

I don't particularly agree with every placement here but DEFINITELY S16 was closeeee! That's why the finale broke viewing records!! S6 I had no idea which it was gonna go, Courtney beauty and talent, Adore young with charisma, or Bianca polished and comedic.

Season 8 with Bob was clear but there's no way in hell anyone was beating Sasha Colby. Everyone knew that Sasha was winning.

actually for season nine I think that, for the production the top 2 should have been Shea and Sasha. Trinity and Peppermint knew that so Trinity chose Peppermint for the semifinal lipsync.

This style of video was great, keep it up!

Anyone else remember how much everyone thought Ginger was gonna win? Would've been nice to have at least one big girl winner 😅

Thanks for this nice recap! I agree with your #1. The win was for me, shocking and also joyous.

Season 12 should have been closer to the top. It really was neck and neck between Jaida and Gigi. There’s probably an alternate reality out there where Gigi won. We don’t really know if Gigi was actually disqualified, and given the fact that she was still actually in the finale shows she probably wasn’t lol.

Loved this!!

I wanted nymphia to win BAD , but i was gagged when she actually did win, it was the second time to gag me so hard when watching it live (The first being spankie jackson winning)

In which world there was a possibility that Anetra would win? Love her, but we all knew Sasha would win the minute she entered that workroom.

The way raja and manila have the same track record

people say S15 wasn't close because they have the gift of hindsight, i mean, coming close to the finale anetra was coming up on sasha and had solidified herself as one of the best lip syncers and was given the 'you were born to do drag' title (before it was considered a curse).

Gotmik and Kim Chi had a similar problem. They were so lost on stage, though Gotmik knew how to walk a runway. And Kim Chi had everything in abundance but nerve.

"Pearl....is..around.......doing things"💀💀💀

very refreshing to see some actual respect put on tyras DOMINANT run on s2

on point!

I kinda want Pearl to have a crown somewhere

Adore never had a chance at winning, Bianca demolished. Ru just made production film a double crowning to humiliate Courtney Act after Courtney calling out her transphobic statements. Courtney had a much better run and Adore just made to the finale because of all of her charisma, because her performance was very, very basic.

GREAT VIDEO !! ❤❤❤

for S15 i would say Sasha >> Anetra = Mistress = Luxx

u spilled it babe

the fans werent behind Raven because they didnt see Raven as a villain. They were behind Raven just cause she honestly was more charismatic than Tyra, as in, Raven kinda played to the audience and just had a personality that was more featured on the season. In a way Raven was more of the narrator of season 2 than Tyra was.

my personal ranking from most to least predictable: 16. Season 15 15. Season 10 14. Season 8 13. Season 4 12. Season 13 11. Season 5 10. Season 6 9. Season 14 8. Season 2 7. Season 1 6. Season 7 5. Season 11 4. Season 3 3. Season 9 2. Season 12 1. Season 16

great content!!! hope to see more

Please do another one for All Stars xx

Can you please do an all stars version of this???

ohh you should do this with all stars, maybe even add in the international all star spin offs too if your nasty.

Honestly, All Stars also has many very close finals, AS2, AS5, with AS3 it is different since the 3 real finalists were "Removed" from the competition, Bendela, Shangela and Bebe, setting the best track records of the season. - BenDela (5 Wins + 0 BTM) - Shangela (3 Wins + 2 High + 2 BTM) - Bebe (2 Wins + 1 High + 1 BTM)

Gigi was threatened with disqualification, not actually disqualified. She just had to film her finale again at home, which is why she was still allowed to compete. (Production also likely would have panicked if they lost both Gigi and Sherry)

the list is a little iffy in my opinion but this was a great analysis of each season's finalists though!

Did Anetra deserve to be in the top 2 tho. Like not to be shady but her solo performance was incredibly forgettable imo.

The first time Camden was ranked in the top was NOT during the Glamazon Prime design challenge. She was in the top during her first episode in the Talent show and also in the top of the Save a Queen acting challenge...???

nymphia's story line being that she never landed in the bottom 2 is kinda crazy

i wouldnt say nymphia was a suprise lol, she had the power of extreme fan favoritism. like moreso than sharon or valentina, or even anetra. the girls were d riding her since reddit leaks the summer before.

I mean…Rupaul herself called Raja and ASK her to do season 3. Learn your herstory kids…

pop off sis!

I can agree with this

Sasha Colby was so obviously going to win that I basically already viewed her as part of the drag race hall of fame, which made Anetra kind of like an honorary winner to me

I'm pretty sure Kim Chi would have won if they had come out to their family about anything. That would have been the full circle moment that the show needed to justify the storyline. There was a reason that question was asked during the finale and as soon as Kim gave that answer I knew Bob was going to win.

SAY HER NAME...SHARON NEEDLES!!

As much as I adore Adore she had no chance of beating Bianca let’s be real. Fan favourite but not the winner of that season. The double crowning was for shits and giggles

I’ll never be over Ginger not winning season 7 (or all stars 6)

“Pearl is also around, doing things”

Honorable mention is Down under season 2 because wow just love love love Spankie and Hanna just being if Jinkx and Bianca competed together and even though Kween Kong had the worst track record of the three she was still love and something highly needed after… the scarlet mess of the first season.

I really think Nymphia won on that lipsync for the crown. If it hadn't been so clear she won that, I think Saphira would've been crowned. It was so exciting to see on real time!! 💛

I think well look back at season 16 and think it was more likely that nymphia would win since in season 15 sasha colby won, someone professional,well rounded and had winner energy all season long. Saphira sort of fit into thay archetype and they wouldnt crown the same kind of queen 2 seasons in a row

Nope, Tyra ate that final challenge up. Especially that slap scene with Ru, watch it again I would say.

LMAOO THE READ ON PEARL😭😭😭BYE

I really thought Nymphia was going to win from the entrance onwards, but when Sapphira won the political challenge which had a 100% winrate(sharon, bob, jaida) I did think Sapphira would take it, so it was the closest for me.

Drag Race analysis videos just sit right in my autistic ass brain. Excellent job!

s10 is oddly high for me. i knew aquaria was winning when she was casted - also correct me if im wrong but gigi wasn't disqualified

I personally think Season 3 was the closest season. I would’ve loved to see both Raja and Manila crowned.

Alexis deserved to make it to the finale every season she competed

let’s be real… jaida should had still won even if gigi didn’t break the rules

Season 9 #1

was GiGi officially disqualified? I though she was just threatened with disqualification if she didnt rerecord her finale performance

Season 15 and Season 6 were both pretty obvious for me. 3, 12, and 14 all felt very close! Season 14 is my favorite season tho so I may be biased.

ginger minj would not win all stars 2 even if she was safe the episode she went home. against detox? katya? alaska??? shit, even alyssa wouldve won before her.

Yeah, might be a hot take, but I thought Pray and Slay was better than Too Many Daddies. Ginger's performance was way more fun and natural. Violet's felt kind of stiff and a little bit awkward, imo

20:45. This isn't true. Sasha won the fan vote, no?

You gotta be joking about season 7! In the moment violet served that reveal look it was obvious she was going to be the winner

sometimes i wish s7 went to ginger so she wouldn't come back two more times 😂

I knew Sasha was going to win but I had hoped Anetra would take it because she killed it

I was at the finale for season 7 the noise for pearl could not be match

Drag race crowned Sasha when she sent in her audition

also that's insane you thought for even a second Sasha wasn't winning lol

Was it ever actually confirmed that Gigi was “disqualified” from winning, even tho she participated in the finale? I feel like they weren’t going to crown her because she was originally intended to be the villain to a certain disqualified queen’s “hero” edit?

Season 3 was rigged for Raja…are you not aware of this?

Just realized that I've literally never disagreed with the winner of the regular US series. I've disagreed with certain All Stars winners, UK winners, other franchises, but never the 16 original seasons. Werk. (Ofc now, considering how problematic Sh*ron N**dles is, I would want her to be decrowned, but it seems like most ppl are aware, and her career is dying)

Season 15 wasn’t the question of who would win the question was who would get runner up against Sasha colby

Love the video, but some placements are veery sus. Like, S6 and S15 were not close AT ALL. It was pretty obvious who was winning both of those season. In retrospect, S8 was clearly Bob's season, but it felt closer than S15 and S6.

I cant believe how tiny the season one main stage was

Sharon Needles! Say her name! She's not Voldemort, dang it!!!!

Refusing to name certain queens like they're fucking Voldemort is silly. If you're going to be a content analysis channel basing information on facts, spare us the whole "trigger warning" approach bullshit. Yes, some queens are horrifically problematic, but completely omitting them gives a less-than-complete picture when your entire spiel is just recapping wikipedia entries. Name names and let the people who have an issue with the fact that you were being accurate whine about it in the comments.

I think you re wrong on season 10, Asia was never considered by production

I feel like I remember Jaida and Gigi being a lot closer going into the finale. I certainly didn’t go into it thinking it was Gigi’s to lose.

This list is a mess babe. But I enjoyed it anyway!

We always know whose going to win and that’s ru faves. It’s so predictable like all of Hollywood movies

23:25 Pearl is also around doing things. 💀

Ginger Minj will ALWAYS be the true winner

Anetra was never going to win, hun
