Here's every RuPaul's Drag Race queen to compete on four seprate seasons (World of Wonder)
We’re more than 15 years into the RuPaul’s Drag Race franchise – so here’s every queen in herstory to compete four times.
Ladies, count them: 17 regular seasons, ten All Stars spinoffs, four vs. the World versions (two in the UK and two in Canada) and counting, and the RuPaul’s Drag Race universe is expanding faster than you can say “Miss Vanjie”.
All Stars is typically when a queen first returns to the competition for another go at the crown. But as the seasons have gone on, more and more queens have come back for round three – and now, for round four.
Look at All Stars 10; Ginger Minj just snatched the crown on her fourth go round, proving that these queens aren’t just fillers, either, but viable contest
So here’s every RuPaul’s Drag Race queen to compete four times, in the order they made their fourth Werk Room appearance – including two queens rumoured to be on All Stars 11.
Jujubee – season two, All Stars 1, All Stars 5, UK vs. the World season one
The first queen to do quadruple duty on RuPaul’s Drag Race was the one and only Jujubee.
The queen, who famously like long walks on the beach, big dicks and fried chicken, placed third on season two, then as a runner–up (third/ fourth) on All Stars 1, then as a runner-up (second/ third) on All Stars 5, then as a runner up (third) on the first season of UK vs. the World. Poor Juju.
To be fair, Raven was recently ‘crowned‘, so does that make Jujubee actually a second-placer?
Alexis Mateo – season three, All Stars 1, All Stars 5, Canada vs. the World season two
Bam! Four times! Alexis Mateo has reached a range of placements over the span of her Drag Race career, which started when she was cut from the top three of season three way back in 2011.
She returned alongside Yara Sofia on All Stars 1, but the pair were eliminated in joint fifth/ sixth place. Then, after Shea-Couleé-elimination-gate on All Stars 5, she was again eliminated in fifth.
But on Canada vs. the World’s second season, Alexis made it all the way to the top two, narrowly missing out on the crown to host nation’s Lemon.
Eureka O’Hara – season nine, season ten, All Stars 6, Canada vs. the World season two
An elephant never forgets, but apparently that doesn’t extend to remembering to actually leave the Werk Room – and the elephant queen Eureka has done four seasons.
After injuring her knee during season nine’s wild cheerleading challenge, Eureka returned for season ten (meaning she’s the only queen on this list to do two ‘regular’ seasons).
After reaching season ten’s top three, she made the finale of All Stars 6 – but was then eliminated by Miss Fiercalicious on Canada vs. the World season two.
Ginger Minj – season seven, All Stars 2, All Stars 6, All Stars 10
The most recent inductee into the Drag Race Hall of Fame, Ginger has proved that sometimes, fourth time’s a charm.
Ginger made the finale of season seven, then was chopped fairly early on in All Stars 2, but then made the final of All Stars 6 after that.
It was All Stars 10 where she truly swept, though – winning all three of her Bracket’s challenges, the season’s Snatch Game and then the crown (and $200k).
Spoilers for the All Stars 11 cast below
Kennedy Davenport – season seven, All Stars 3, Canada vs. the World season two
As of yet, the dancing diva of Texas Kennedy Davenport has only returned three times – but as mentioned, the rumoured All Stars 11 cast is kicking around already, and Kennedy is on it.
Kennedy led the Bitter Old Lady Brigade on season seven (alongside All Stars 10) winner Ginger Minj, where she was eliminated just before the finale.
She then made the top two on All Stars 3, before returning several years later for Canada vs. the World‘s second season, where she reached the finale. If the rumoured cast is true, Kennedy will be one of the two first queens to do regular season, All Stars, vs. the World and then back to All Stars…
Silky Nutmeg Ganache – season eleven, All Stars 6, Canada vs. the World season one, All Stars 11
We said “one of two of the first queens” to do that particular format trajectory, because Silky Nutmeg Ganache is the other.
Ms. Ganache made the top four of season eleven in her first Drag Race appearance, and then returned to ALl Stars 6. Although she was eliminated sooner than expected on the spinoff, she did essentially then have her own entire episode in the ‘game-within-a-game’ lipsync smackdown.
Silky then made the top two of Canada vs. the World‘s first season, beaten out by her double-season sister Ra’Jah O’Hara. Could a hypothetical fourth round be the charm?
For anyone suffering immediate withdrawals after AS10, never fear; Drag Race UK vs. the World‘s third season is on the way, and Drag Race Philippines: Slaysian Royale recently confirmed its first ever cast.
The RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 10 grand finale is streaming now on Paramount+ in the US and WOW Presents Plus internationally.
