I always really liked Lawrence and in retrospect, I think she was the best winner for the season because Bimini has sort of distanced themselves from the franchise, while Lawrence is still very prominent in the drag race sphere.
well yes… sorry i love drag but i’m not reading any of that (+ i don’t understand half of the local references… so it’s just not as fun for me, as it is for local people)
@@ucouldnevah Now local references can definitely make a difference in some challenges, I got to admit. As French is my first language but being Canadian, I get to watch DR France and Belgium without subtitles; and yes, sometimes I miss some stuff or don’t find it as funny because my reality is different than theirs, including cultural references. But I do get the same thing watching DR UK or Down Under, or even DR US…Ru laughs at all kinds of non sense! But reading subtitles isn’t so much of an effort though, in my humble opinion. Maybe having ADHD makes it easier on me to do so; or I’ve been conditioned to it…it must be my age!
Honestly, my ADHD makes it harder, but that’s probably because I so rarely have 100% of my focus on what I’m watching. I enjoy being able to turn to something else while listening to the show, and not requiring my full focus all of the time.
@@Syren020 Lol funny cause at first I thought it was a reply to a comment I made on a YT short on *️⃣ADHD…until I clicked and realized that it was on DR and subtitles. 🤓 I got ADHD too, dx at age 40, 10 years ago this month… So I know what you mean. I rarely just do one thing…especially if it involves watching TV/videos. But did you know that it’s common for those of us with ADHD to actually turn on the subtitles even in our own language? Interesting phenomenon, isn’t it? And by what follows below⬇️, I’m sure it’s apparent that I have ADHD 🤓 🤯🤔😵💫🗣️ ✍️📝📓⌨️ ellipsis, parenthesis, explanations, going on and on…all that while doing actually something else❕😉🤐 signs are there! 😜🚨 *️⃣Someone was thinking about fwd a certain ADHD-related video to one of their friend with ADHD, but they decided not to as the background music on it was distracting; and they were also replying to someone “complaining” about the background music. Well, my first thought is that this person was most likely neurotypical. I prefer having background noise/music (unless it’s so loud that we can’t hear at all what is said) most of the time - libraries are the kiss of death to me. Having noise helps with the focus. And actually, having subtitles often helps with focus as well. But I have to admit that last summer while watching Germany, Brasil, Philippines and Mexico, I kind of had to keep the side projects at bay, and I’ve had to go back a few times because I had missed stuff, esp. during Brasil for some reasons. And as a result, I didn’t really connect with that particular season. And last week while watching Mexico, even though I do understand some Spanish, I was half asleep, and it was Snatch Game. Lots going on at once. The guests/judges were really involved and bantering with the queens, etc. But I was lost…it was too much too fast for my tired brain (and also unmedicated), I couldn’t keep up with the jokes, physical comedy, replies, subtitles, etc. But that’s not what usually happens.
Out of the bottom 6, I'm saddened to see people do not seem yo appreciate Dag Couenne who is INCREDIBLE, and Pitita doesn't deserve the hate she gets just because she was in a season that seemed way too fixed. She did amazing through the whole competition and deserves her win. Organzza is AMAZING, so this is bizarre. And Giselle deserved her win 100% screw the haters.
Just wanted to point out the flag under alvilda and drag couenne is the German one :) (3:20) The Belgian flag is horizontal stripes of black, yellow and red. ❤
Agree Admira is really underrated, but also surprised she was rated as high as she did :) Reason is definitely the franchise itself that makes her scores lower because she should be up there in top 10 for sure
La Diamond performed at an After Hours show in the UK this past winter. Their number was so mesmerizing and I have wanted to meet them since, having been kicking myself for not having done it at the time. They lit a sword on fire on the stage and there was not a second of their performance that was not fully thought out and captivating. Hope to see them again.
Isis deserved so much better. She has one of the best track records in any drag race franchise, and she's so talented in every way. Can not believe she didn't get any votes
I don't think y'all have any idea how much of a national treasure Priyanka was to Canadian millennials back when she was Carlos on YTV. To see her killing it in the international fandom fills my heart with pure joy ❤
Something that would be interesting for next rankings is an indicator of how much they've climbed the rankings or if they're new in the rankings : eg. Jinkx being 1st position in one video, then being 2nd in the next, there would be a little Arrow pointing downwards next to her name. Or Le Filip for the next video having a "New" next to her name since she wasn't in the previous video.
Priyanka being number 1 seems right in my fantasy. Being the same nationality as me (Guyanese Canadian) gave me so much pride and I felt seen and seeing what she has done since winning is absolutely amazing. Priyanka is on billboards, bus stops, she got band deals, and even host etalk which is huge, she is all over Canadian media and is all over the world. Representation matters and Priyanka representing queer Guyanese boys and girls makes such a huge difference.
My top 3 winners are jinkx, jimbo and Priyanka Internationally, as a Canadian I'm still picking Priyanka, but since jimbo and Jinkx got USA wins, Spankie Jackzon and Lawrence are my other top 3 picks, with Danny Beard as an honorable mention.
Admira is THAT queen for me and she deserves a lot more flowers. I hope they'll bring her back for an US All Stars cause she will deliver everything that needs to be delivered.
I've only watched the English seasons, so mine would be Icesis, Priyanka, Lawrence, Krystal, and Spankie/Viv. But from what I've seen of Envy, Carmen, and Keiona I know they're sickening as well. I would love for GAS2 to be all winners. It would really feel like the olympics of drag. A GAS2 cast of Icesis, Lawrence, Envy, Carmen, Spankie, Keiona, Bob, and Angele/Pandora would be so iconic.
@emersonalmeida9151 it has been officially renewed, so don't worry about that. What we really want is Espana season 4 already. We have crowned 2 US All Stars winners as well as 2 from France; and we might get 2 from Mexico and the Philippines. All since Pitita was crowned well over a year ago at this point. To make matters worse, they already confirmed Espana season 5 is coming
Spankie is definitely top 5 for me internationally and pretty high-ranking overall with the main series included. One of the warmest, kindest, funniest, most talented people ever on the show. Some of the most busted runways, but she was so perfect every other way it just didn’t matter. That’s so rare.
If I was ranking this I'd have gone for Priyanka at no 1 too, shes as she is on camera in person, so sweet and fun, one time about 3 years ago I went to see her at a show in a club and I was stressed cos it was really loud (i get tinnitus ) and I'd forgotten my ear plugs so i was covering my ears & I was stressed at being in such a busy venue (it was 2021 so you still had to wear a mask in a supermarket but not in a night club) so I probably looked worried and in the middle of the song she mouthed "are you ok ?" to me 😭. Also it was my friend who i was with birthday and she had a broken leg so not having the best birthday and Priyanka was really kind to her and got her a free drink & everyone to sing Happy birthday to her ❤
I do think that there could be two polls; one based on English-speaking franchises, and one based on non English-speaking franchises. Also, I submitted a write-in for Alvilda, and I know that several other people did as well, and that was not mentioned.
Yay, I’m happy to see Envy was second on the list. I met Envy at DragCon and she was a sweetheart. Plus Envy always looks great, exuding effortless glamour.
In what sense is Priyanka at the level of US winners? That sounded so rude, like at the base the US queens were better or something. Not to mention, Jimbo was the star of Canada S1, not her.
I love that Spankie is so high ranked. Season 2 definitely was DU's best. Also it's funny to have Viv and Spankie side by side, cause they have the same track record : one bottom placement, three wins, and then only highs
Priyanka performing at the canadian country music awards was the moment i realized she was on another level. A drag queen performing an original song at a country music award show without any major negative news.
@2InsertNameHere you thought I was talking about this specific list when I was talking about all of their recent ranking videos. Ranking all the All Stars winners, all the franchises, and all the international winners specifically
Another tip, because I had another idea😅: From the top 4, 3, or 2 queens of each season, which queen did you predict would win the season right before RuPaul revealed the winner at the end of the finale? (Can't remember if it's already a video or if you could do an update? 😊) Disclaimer: This does not mean that the queen who won their season doesn't deserve it! ❤ But it sometimes feels like it's one specific queens "moment" (or at least the production wanted us to think someone would win). For example I as well was suprised that Angeria won, because (for me) the show make me feel like this is Roxxxy's season to win (and also full bias cause she was my pick as well) ❤😊😂 Love ya ❤
I dont really get the Priyanka hype, yes she has done amazing post show. But on the show she literally bombed every comedy challenge. She reminds me however of Alyssa, a star personality.
Performance on Drag race does not define your value trixie, Tammie, kelly mantle are good example they were not able to show their talent on show but we're able to showcase that in outside world
Danke! ❤ Who is this gorgeous dark haired poker table dealer / chip'n'dale woman and what has she done with our stunning auntie Mera? 😂 (Mother feels off cause Mera always is the young aunt that feels like a cousin 😎✨️) ❤ Going on a summer vacay to Crete (Greece) next week and can't wait to watch the 🙌🦵CONTENT by the pool. Sending love and sunshine to all of you ❤ And of course: I'm still watching during every smoke break, even if it's a ballad ❤😂
C’mon Mera with Chocolate wig and Scarlett giving us beautiful blond bombshell! Love this! This topic was so good! My top 5 1. Envy 2. Keiona 3. Lawrence Chaney 4. Priyanka Tie for 5th: Icesis & Carmen Farala
I love the rankings and the videos and the channel and Mera, but the commentaries about the queens are always the same. I'm gonna keep watching, but there's that
