The Best Queens According to Raja and Raven

Raja and Raven in Fashion Photo Ruview

Over the last couple of years I have tabulated Raja and Raven's toots and boots into an excel spreadsheet so I can get a visual depiction of how each queen fairs. I decided to use this data to rank the queens from Season 4 to Season 8 according to how many toots and boots they have gotten. In order to limit the amount of queens at the same ranking, I have taken 'top toots of the week' into consideration. After a few hours of sorting through data, here it is:

53. Penny Tration & Magnolia Crawford
These two queens have quite a bit in common: both sashayed away first in their respective seasons (Magnolia technically second, but first of her bunch), and neither have received a single toot from Raja or Raven. 

52. DiDa Ritz
Season 4, 6th place.

51. Cynthia Lee Fontaine
Season 8, 10th place, Miss Congeniality.

50. Tempest DuJour
Season 7, 14th place.

49. Pearl
Season 7, runner up.
(I was shocked too).

48. Darienne Lake
Season 6, 4th place.

47. Kandy Ho
Season 7, 10th place.

46. Honey Mahogany & Jasmine Masters
Season 5, 10th place & Season 7, 12th place.
Honey Mahogany made herstory when she was eliminated with Vivienne Pinay.

45. Mrs. Kasha Davis
Season 7, 11th place.

44. Kennedy Davenport
Season 7, 4th place.

43. Joslyn Fox & Jaidynn Diore Fierce
Season 6, 6th place & Season 7, 8th place.

42. Madame LaQueer, Alisa Summers, Vivienne Pinay, Trixie Mattel & Naysha Lopez
All these queens represent the halfway point between good and bad - receiving an equal amount of toots and boots.

41. Sasha Belle
Season 7, 13th place.

40. Laganja Estranja & Max
Season 6, 8th place & Season 7, 9th place.

39. Adore Delano
Season 6, runner up (All Stars 2, 9th place).
Adore made RuPaul's Drag Race herstory when she walked out of the competition in All Stars 2.

38. Jade Jolie
Season 5, 8th place.

37. Gia Gunn
Season 6, 10th place.

36. Latrice Royale
Season 4, 4th place, Miss Congeniality.

35. Laila McQueen
Season 8, 11th place.
Laila was eliminated with Dax ExclamationPoint, the second pair to get eliminated from the show simultaneously.

34. Chi Chi DeVayne
Season 8, 4th place.

33. Milan
Season 4, 9th place.

32. Serena ChaCha, Vivacious & Tatianna
Season 5, 13th place, Season 6, 12th place & Season 2, 4th place (All Stars 2, 6th place).

31. Alyssa Edwards
Season 5, 6th place (All Stars 2, 5th place).

30. Milk
Season 6, 9th place.
One of the most underrated queens.

29. Jiggly Caliente
Season 4, 8th place.

28. Courtney Act
Season 6, runner up.

27. Derrick Barry
Season 8, 5th place.

26. Kenya Michaels
Season 4, 5th place.

25. Kelly Mantle & Dax ExclamationPoint
Season 6, 14th place & Season 8, 11th place.

24. Coco Montrese
Season 5, 5th place (All Stars 2, 10th place).

23. Jinkx Monsoon, Naomi Smalls & Robbie Turner
Season 5, winner, Season 8, runner up & Season 8, 7th place.

22. Willam
Season 4, 7th place.
Willam is the first and only contestant to be eliminated from the competition.

21. Chad Michaels
Season 4, runner up (All Stars, winner).

20. Thorgy Thor
Season 8, 6th place.

19. Phi Phi O'Hara
Season 4, runner up (All Stars 2, 7th place).

18. Miss Fame
Season 7, 7th place.

17. Sharon Needles
Season 4, winner.

16. Bob the Drag Queen
Season 8, winner.

15. Lashauwn Beyond
Season 4, 12th place.

14. Katya
Season 7, 5th place, Miss Congeniality (All Stars 2, runner up).

13. Ginger Minj
Season 7, runner up (All Stars 2, 8th place).

12. Bianca Del Rio
Season 6, winner.

11. The Princess, Monica Beverly Hillz & April Carrión
Season 4, 11th place, Season 5, 12th place & Season 6, 11th place.
This is where the list hits a little snag. These queens were only on the show for a few episodes, and Raja and Raven didn't give them many boots, so therefore they have a high toot percentage. Can't be helped. (I actually think April deserves her spot here though).

10. Alaska
Season 5, runner up (All Stars 2, winner).

9. BenDeLaCreme
 Season 6, 5th place, Miss Congeniality.

8. Kim Chi

Season 8, runner up.

7. Acid Betty
Season 8, 8th place.
Went far too soon.

6. Detox
Season 5, 4th place (All Stars 2, runner up).
She has the second most iconic finale look.

5. Lineysha Sparx
Season 5, 9th place.

4. Violet Chachki
Season 7, winner.
The best look in all of RuPaul's Drag Race herstory. I made the picture extra large so you could stare at it. I would end the list here but we've still got three more queens that are apparently better.

3. Trinity K Bonet
Season 6, 7th place.
When I think hard about it, Trinity has never disappointed with a look. It sucks that she had to go home wearing this amazing costume.

2. Ivy Winters
Season 5, 7th place, Miss Congeniality.
The best queen for making outfits.

And finally...

1. Roxxxy Andrews
Season 5, runner up (All Stars 2, 4th place).
If you have watched Fashion Photo Ruview, it should be no surprise to you that Roxxxy is in first place. Raja and Raven show obvious bias towards her, and while I do think she has turned out some great looks (plus who can forget that wig reveal), I don't personally believe she is the best fashion-wise.

So that rounds off the list, I hope you enjoyed reading this, it took me 8 hours to make this.

Leave a comment telling me what you think, or what you want me to talk about next!
