Ranking Every Winner of 'RuPaul's Drag Race'
No shade, just love!

Before we get into the list, I would just like to say, this is just my opinion, it is not fact. All of these queens are extremely talented, and worked so hard to get the success that they deserve, and this is not meant to send any hate towards anybody mentioned.
15. Bebe Zahara Benet

Bebe at the S10 Finale
Bebe was the first EVER winner of Drag Race back in 2009. She was nothing but elegant and graceful throughout her entire time in the competition, which led to her getting the crown. She came back to compete on All Stars 3, as the 'mystery queen', which had a very mixed response from fans. Some thought that Bebe deserved this chance to increase her following (and her booking fee), and get exposed to the new generation of Drag Race viewers, whilst others felt it was unfair. On All Stars, she seemed to float through the competition, which ultimately landed her here on this list.
14. Tyra Sanchez

Tyra at Hey Qween
Now, what can we say about Tyra...
There is no way to deny her talent, that is certain. She was a powerhouse on season 2, beating out fan favourite Raven to snatch the crown. Recently though, her actions have come under fire. One of the worst examples of this was the threats made towards her fellow sisters and even Drag Con, leading to her being banned from the event. She may be stunning, but her attitude is what is holding her back from making it further on this list.
13. Chad Michaels

Chad is an absolutely exceptional queen! She's polished, well-spoken and can serve looks. Whilst we have seen a change from the style of drag she presented on season four, and All Stars 1, it has been refreshing to see a new side of Chad Michaels. She is currently working with Farrah Moan on 'Burlesque,' which is currently touring!
12. Sharon Needles

I think the entire community can agree that without Sharon, Drag Race would be a very different show. It seemed as though she would be an early out when she first arrived at season 4, but in every challenge and on the runway, she always brought a new perspective. Sharon opened up Drag Race to accepting more alternative queens, paving the way for queens like Yvie Oddly to be able to compete on the show. Recently she has moved away from her gory/conceptual drag.
11. Monét X Change

Monét at the AS4 Finale
Monét originally competed on season ten, making it to the top six. She gave something very similar to Bob the Drag Queen (who comes later on this list), and many fans lived for it. It was quite a surprise to see her return to our screens so soon after the end of season ten on All Stars 4, where she was apart of the *controversial* double win. Although she has a great personality, her statistics did not match Trinity's, which lead to the argument that Monét only won the crown to silence people complaining that the All Star Hall of Fame was not diverse enough. Whether you believe this or not, it is clear that Monét made a huge impact on All Stars 4 and is extremely talented!
10. Aquaria

Aquaria for Billboard
Aquaria was a frontrunner in this competition from the second she was announced. She has been a household name in New York (and the drag scene as a whole) for years and people were very excited to see her on the show. She brought flawless looks to the runway week after week, and eventually won the crown. After her reign though, she has not made a huge impact on the drag scene. Aquaria has been in her fair share of scandals since being crowned, and has even joined the Wow Presents+ show, Fashion Photo Ruview, which is not a hit with most fans as there seems to be a clear disagreement between Raja and Aquaria against the rest of the fan base. Many fans decide to head over to YouTube and watch 'Bootleg Opinions', a similar review show by Yuhua Hamasaki, as she has a lot of credit being a seamstress, and has amazing guests each week.
9. Sasha Velour

Sasha was the winner of season nine, which was not what people had originally expected. After the Top four challenge, She Coulee was the clear frontrunner of the competition. When it was revealed that the finale would adopt a 'Lip Sync For The Crown' format, it was unclear that Shea would take home the competition, and Sasha was a wildcard as she had never landed in the bottom two before, so many were unaware of her lip-syncing ability. As we all know, the New York queen delivered one of the most iconic lip sync performances to ever grace the show to "So Emotional" by Whitney Houston. Her conceptual looks were also a staple of her brand.
8. Bob The Drag Queen

Bob the Drag Queen is just so funny period. Although her looks on Season eight weren't the best, her personality and performance in the challenges often towered above everyone else's, and Bob has some of the show's most iconic quotes! Bob went on to be apart of The Trixie and Katya Show and even had her own comedy special Suspiciously Large Woman, which was very enjoyable and has had great reviews to her recent shows.
7. Jinkx Monsoon

Jinkx was an underdog on season five, who managed to pull it out of the bag in the run up to the finale, leading to her win over Roxxxy and Alaska! She was up against every competition for the entirety of season five, and was able to prevail victorious by the end. She is both hilarious and humble, which makes her very relatable, and she will remain a fan favourite for the ages.
6. Bianca Del Rio

Bianca is absolutely hilarious, there is no doubt about that, but the looks she served on season six were very repetitive, with the same silhouette almost every week, and they do not hold up well to today's Drag Race standards (just ask Vanjie). Her disregard for an All Winners season suggests that she hasn't evolved enough to win, she can't make the top of this list.
5. Raja

Back on season three, it was clear that Raja and Manila Luzon would be the ones competing for the crown until the very end, and that did end up being the case. It was one of the closest calls in Drag Race herstory, and Raja managed to come out on top. She is a fashion icon, and a great personality who has no trouble making people laugh.
4. Violet Chachki

Violet at the S7 Finale
Another fashion icon stole the crown of season seven. On the show, she was that b*tch, and she knew it, and off the show she still has this personality. You either love her, or you hate her–and I live for her. Also her Cameos cost $500, so like know your worth I guess.
3. Trixie Mattel

The success that Trixie has achieved through her drag is almost completely unrivalled. On season seven, she did not make much of an impact, but her WoW+ show UNHhhh with Drag Race alumni Katya, she then went on to have a show on Viceland called The Trixie and Katya Show. Recently she was in Iggy Azalea's music video for her new song "Started" and will be launching her own makeup line later in May!
2. Trinity The Tuck

Trinity for Cosmo Queens
Trinity was the other half of the double win during All Stars 4, and it is argued by some stans that she is the true winner of the season as she had the better statistics out of the top two. Both times she competed, she slayed the competition and her getting the crown was well deserved. Trinity brought variety to the judges on the runway, and gave memorable performances during the acting and singing challenges. Despite not having the best voice, Trinity has released an album, which is available on all good music streaming sites now!
1. Alaska Thunder**** 5000

Alaska at the AS2 Finale
Alaska is one of the most insane, beautiful, funny, talented queens to ever grace the mainstage of RuPaul's Drag Race, and we were lucky enough to get to see her compete twice! She has done it all, movies, music, reality shows, podcasts, and undeniably deserved her win. Much like season five, All Stars 2 had one of the toughest casts to have to beat out to win the title, which is apart of what made it the favourite season across so many of the fans. Alaska also won her way into all of her all of her hearts and she is a true ambassador of Drag Race royalty!
