00:00I might win RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars, The Wild Card, The Early Owl, Chicken-Feathered Diva.
00:07Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most mind-boggling track
00:12records in Drag Race herstory. You've been in the pot on fire by the seven challenges.
00:18Consistency.
00:20Number 10, Joe Black. I know what you're thinking. God, Glenn Close looks rough.
00:27For someone who entered Drag Race UK with an impressive reputation on the British cabaret
00:31scene, Joe Black's run was astonishingly short. She became the season's porkchop queen after
00:37failing to impress the judges with her UK gay icons and hometown looks.
00:41I'm feeling very numb. This wasn't the outcome I expected. It is what it is, but yeah, I'm proud
00:46that I got here. Very proud I got here. It's been a short blast, but a blast nonetheless.
00:53Then, fate handed her a second chance when Veronica Green had to withdraw after testing
00:59positive for COVID-19, and the remaining queens voted Joe back into the competition.
01:03Surely this was the comeback story, right? Not quite.
01:06Joe stumbled in the UK Hun Girl Group Challenge and triggered RuPaul's now-infamous H&M rant.
01:12We're looking for Great Britain's next superstar. Don't waste my time. I don't want to see any
01:19f***ing H&M. She was ultimately eliminated again that very episode. Having to pack your
01:25bags twice in just two episodes, that's got to be some kind of record.
01:29Thank you very much for having me. It's been a pleasure to come back.
01:34We love you, baby. I said it before and I'll say it again. Mr. Charles, I'm ready for my close
01:43-up.
01:44Number nine, Morgan McMichaels. Morgan McMichaels barely had time to unpack before
01:49Benda LeCram sent her home in the very first episode of All-Stars 3.
01:52We talked about that we would not want to make that decision pretty much unanimously based on
01:58knocking somebody that we saw as fierce competition out of the way. And you were very forthright in
02:02saying that that is something that you would do. And in the interest of everyone moving forward,
02:10I chose Morgan McMichaels. She then disappeared for weeks before being brought back with the other
02:15eliminated queens for a chance to return to the competition. Things worked in Morgan's favor when
02:20Benda LeCram eliminated herself and picked Morgan to come back. There's one queen who didn't have as
02:26much of an opportunity. So Morgan, get in here and make me proud. Taking the place of the season's
02:38dominant frontrunner was already a daunting task, but Morgan's comeback lasted exactly one episode.
02:44After landing in the bottom for the My Best Squirrel Friends Drags Maids Wedding Trip acting
02:48challenge, she was promptly eliminated again. The lady couldn't even catch a break.
02:53Not so excited to be going home, but I'm at peace with it and I would have done nothing different.
02:58Why blend in when you can stand out?
03:00Number eight, Tatiana.
03:01Grinding for a second. His stuff's getting thick.
03:06Oh, girl.
03:07He doesn't know it, but I'm getting firm too.
03:12If a consistent recurring track record was enough to earn a crown,
03:16Tatiana would have been unstoppable. She kicked off All Stars 2 by landing in the top two for the
03:21talent show, only to be eliminated the very next episode after a disappointing snatch game.
03:25The most disappointing part about being eliminated this early in the competition
03:29is definitely I don't have the ability to show everything that I have to offer. Not just in
03:36the way of clothing, but I have a lot more personality and talent that I didn't get the
03:41chance to feature.
03:42Ironically, Snatch Game had been one of her biggest triumphs on her original season.
03:46After sitting out a few episodes, Tatiana got the opportunity to return to the competition
03:51after impressing the judges with her comedy routine alongside Detox.
03:54There's a secret behind the woman that you see here today.
03:57Oh, no. Is there really?
03:59Oh, this is hard for me to tell.
04:00It's okay to spit it out. No matter what you're about to tell me,
04:03you will always be, in my eyes, my best girlfriend.
04:07You see, I used to have braces.
04:10This led to the now iconic lip sync against Alyssa Edwards to Rihanna's shut up and drive.
04:15Surely lightning wasn't going to strike twice. Oh, but it did. The following week,
04:20Tatiana flopped the commercial challenge and was eliminated.
04:23Even though I didn't get to feature everything that I wanted to, I think I showed a lot while
04:28I was here. I got to introduce myself to people who didn't know who Tatiana was, and I got to
04:35impress the people who have been my supporters from the jump.

04:49It makes you beautiful. It makes you fashionable. And it costs lots and lots of money.
04:59Number 7. Tsunami Muse. There are queens who get the opportunity to hear judges' critiques
05:04every single week. And then there's Tsunami Muse, who somehow mastered the art of existing
05:09comfortably in the middle.
05:11Tsunami Muse. Morphine. Mogami. Amanda. Dawn. Nymphia. Safira. Ladies, you are all safe.
05:26For six consecutive competitive episodes, she was declared safe. The judges didn't even seem to really
05:32care for what Tsunami was selling. To her credit, Tsunami never seemed bothered by it. She looked like
05:37she was happy just to be there.
05:38Safe. Again. Really. But I have to be honest. Being safe just means another chance to show
05:45another look. So I am extremely grateful to host Untucked Afters once again.
05:50Unfortunately, that streak ended at Snatch Game. Her attempt to deliver an original character with
05:55the Gold Tooth Fairy landed with a thud and ushered her into the bottom two. Unfortunately,
06:00she was up against the lip-sync assassin Morphine Love Dion, who easily eliminated her.
06:14Oh, Serena. The Florida wigstress came in swinging on her original season. She believed her recent
06:20art degree and penchant for reading books would take her all the way to the top.
06:24I do performance art. Performance art? Now, do you sew? Yes, but there is a new art movement
06:30called soft sculpture. It's more about creating a sculpture rather than just tailoring. Well,
06:36that sounds great on paper, but what does it look like? However, Serena landed in the bottom two in
06:41episode one and was eliminated the very next week, finishing in 13th place. It sucks. I feel like
06:47there is a lot more to offer, but there's nothing I would change except for not being team captain.
06:52To the other queens, pick up a book and go read.
06:55When she got a chance to rewrite her Drag Race story with All-Stars 6,
06:59things didn't go that much differently. In fact, it was worse this time around.
07:03Serena flopped the talent show and was sent home in the very first episode,
07:07again in 13th place.
07:09All-Stars 6 was my moment to be sitting at the All-Stars table. I showed that. I have evolved
07:15into somebody that has everything to compete here, and that is something I'm so proud of.
07:21Her final lifeline in the Redemption lip-sync smackdown ended in a loss to Jiggly Caliente,
07:26sending her home once again.
07:36Number 5. Joey Jay
07:38As the first openly gay contestant in Drag Race herstory,
07:42Joey Jay got a true redemption arc on All-Stars 11.
07:45My only thing is the gold buttons, because it's distracting me from the other
07:49designs that are going on. But I think this outfit is really cute. What's your favorite part?
07:54The gold buttons.
07:56Throughout Bracket 3, she was safe every single week. But many fans felt she easily
08:01could have picked up one or two top placements instead. Although she initially failed to qualify
08:06for the semifinals, Joey was given another shot as the wildcard pick. This time around,
08:11there was no doubt she deserved at least one win in the Tell Me Something Good storytelling challenge.
08:16Being the first openly gay contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race
08:23has opened so many doors for me, front and back.
08:30Joey managed to keep her strong momentum going all the way to the final lip-sync for The Crown,
08:35which she lost to Crystal Method. We doubt anyone had the wildcard becoming the season's
08:40runner-up on their bingo card.
08:42I might win RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars, the wildcard, the early-out, chicken-feathered diva.
08:53It feels great.
08:55Number 4, Jane Don't.
08:57Got me on my knees, but I ain't prayin'.
09:00Forgive me, father.
09:01No, I ain't prayin'.
09:03Just went to the clinic, tested positive for slayin'.
09:06Jane Don't spent most of season 18 looking like the queen who would inevitably take the crown.
09:12Week after week, she landed in the top, putting together an astonishing streak of 10 consecutive
09:17top placements while collecting three challenge wins and another top-two finish.
09:22My boyfriend loves my big mouth. The other day, he says to me,
09:25Jane, I want to kiss you in the worst way. And I says to him,
09:30You want to kiss me standing up in a canoe?
09:31At some point, it almost became routine for Jane to receive glowing critiques from the judges.
09:35But then, in just one episode, everything changed.
09:39After finally slipping into the bottom three during the makeover,
09:42Jane found herself lip-syncing the very next week against Nene Coco and was eliminated.
09:47Jane, my queen, you are a star.
09:51Never take don't for an answer.
09:55Now, sashay away.
09:59Thank you for everything.
10:00It is simply mind-boggling to think that after 10 weeks of excellence, she didn't even make it to the
10:06finale.
10:06Number 3. Benda LaCreme.
10:08Whenever there's something I couldn't face, I sing with a simple tune.
10:13Guess who's back in the house? Heels click-clacking about.
10:17Fine, fresh feminine style to 11 under vines.
10:19You heavenly gentleman sweating its dimes across the board, no doubt.
10:22Statistically, Benda LaCreme holds the best track record in the main Drag Race franchise,
10:26and we honestly doubt she'll lose that title anytime soon.
10:30Dayla won five of the six competitive episodes she appeared in,
10:34delivering one of the most dominant performances Drag Race has ever seen.
10:37I said, a cocktail weenie.
10:40Because it's to scale.
10:43Sorry, it's not a match, Carson.
10:45Not a match.
10:45Circle gets a square.
10:46Every week seemed to end with her standing at the front of the stage with someone's lipstick in her hand.
10:50But then, feeling increasingly guilty about sending home so many of her fellow queens,
10:55Benda LaCreme wrote her own name on the lipstick and eliminated herself after winning yet another challenge.
11:00I love these girls.
11:02I think they all deserve a shot to win.
11:04And I am incredibly grateful.
11:07I hope that you all can see that.
11:10I'm...
11:10Actually, I don't know how...
11:12How to take this.
11:14It was equal parts noble and absolutely maddening.
11:17And nobody has quite done anything like it since.
11:20Number 2.
11:21Roxy Andrews.
11:30On season 5, Roxy Andrews was a genuine force.
11:34She had two wins, several high placements, and one bottom two appearance that she survived handily.
11:39All Stars 2, however, was a very different story.
11:42Roxy won the first episode and then spent virtually every subsequent week languishing in the bottom.
11:48I know I've been in the bottom twice.
11:49And so has Katya.
11:52I don't feel like this is a challenge I should go home for.
11:55It's going to be a really difficult decision.
11:58I just want you to know that send me home or not, I love you.
12:01Each time, it seemed inevitable that she was finally going home.
12:05But each time, her Ralaska Talks sisters used their winning power to keep her safe.
12:09It shows on the side, I'm sorry, I can't send her home.
12:12I'm so sorry.
12:13But I just couldn't send Roxy home tonight because she did so amazing and I just couldn't do it.
12:20I'm so sorry.
12:21She was essentially carried to the finale on the shoulders of that alliance, with a staggering five bottom placements.
12:27It would have been basically impossible to survive such a track record on a regular season.
12:31So, we have the All Stars format to thank for this truly bizarre scorecard.
12:35I won when I walked in the door.
12:38And every week after that, I was winning.
12:42I can't tell you not to crown one of these three girls because they're so phenomenal.
12:47But I want you to crown me.

13:18No track record on this list covers more ground than Diabetti's season 14 run.
13:24She was eliminated in her first episode, then brought back alongside Orion's story.
13:29Probably more fiery coming in the second time because these bitches don't think I'm competition, I don't think.
13:35And I can't wait to prove them wrong.
13:37But while Orion went home shortly after, Diabetti just kept going.
13:41She racked up a few safe placements, then clinched a top-two finish in the Daytona Wind Challenge alongside Lady
13:47Camden.
13:48Diabetti.
13:52Indragulations, you are one of the top two queens of the week.
13:57Thank God, I am finally in.
14:00Afterwards, she won the Girl Groups Challenge outright, then went on to land a bottom-seven placement after that season's
14:06disastrous Snatch Game.
14:07She also ended up in a bottom-three with Deja Skye and Georgis that resulted in a double elimination.
14:24And after all of that, Daya still made the finale, finishing in the top five.
14:29That kind of track record is the stuff of legends.
14:32So much brighter, wish I knew before tonight, I don't have to fight, just cause I'm a fighter.
