00:00Is it me? Am I the drama? I don't think I'm the drama. Maybe I am. Am I the villain?
00:06I don't think I'm the villain.
00:08Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the exact moments when
00:13Drag Race found its villain of the season. For this list, we'll be focusing on the American
00:18franchise.
00:19I hear you, girl. Everyone gets the same amount of time. Use it better, maybe.
00:25Number 10. Plain Jane, Her Entrance
00:29Villain. I'm not a villain. I'm just a bitch.
00:31The best reality TV stars let you know who they are immediately. Season 16's Plain Jane
00:37was clearly not there to be liked. If she were, she wouldn't have used her very first
00:42confessional to take a shot at Katya, arguably one of the most beloved contestants of all time.
00:47I'm Plain Jane, and I'm the authentically Russian clown hooker from Boston.
00:52Then, to prove her authentic Russian heritage, she demonstrates her ability
00:56with the language by brutally insulting all the queens who walked in before her.
01:00This is all within the first two minutes of meeting her, mind you.
01:03People would describe my personality as really fun, really friendly and caring. Not a bitch
01:08at all. Yeah.
01:11Plain is not afraid to speak her mind. Sometimes, it even seems like she can't help herself.
01:16I have never seen a corset add weight to somebody. You better work, bitch.
01:22Number 9. Derek Barry, Coming for Bob
01:25I did get told that my performance was phenomenal, which you didn't get told.
01:29All right.
01:30Derek, I think you just missed the point. Let's not even get there.
01:32Okay. Well, I don't know if there was a point. It's just Bob talking.
01:35Given her inflated ego and slight dose of delusion,
01:39no one could convince the Britney Spears-impersonating diva of Season 8 that
01:42she performed poorly. Which is why she seemed to take it personally when Bob the
01:46Drag Queen reminded her that her performance in the New Wave Queens Challenge was bad.
01:50I don't see that I do that.
01:51I can't wait till you do it again. It'll be like five minutes.
01:54Derek Barry, however, was in denial about her negative critiques from the judges,
01:58and immediately went for the jugular. It was bad enough that she picked a fight with a fan favorite,
02:02but making disparaging remarks about Bob's drag? Now that was peak drag race drama.
02:07Hey, Bob, if I want to do ratchet drag next week, can you give me any tips?
02:13If you want to do, like, memorable drag next week, I can give you some tips.
02:17So all I need to do is not wear a wig, and I'll be told by the judges that I'm pretty?
02:21It also gave Bob a worthy opponent to step over on her way to the crown.
02:258. Serena Cha-Cha – Mirror Trash Talk
02:29Okay. All right. That was just right next to my ear.
02:36Who says a season only needs one villain? Season 5 was packed with many catty queens,
02:41but this early out made quite an impression. Serena Cha-Cha was fresh-faced and overconfident,
02:46believing her youth was the only asset she needed.
02:50And she was not afraid to let her competitors know that. When asked a simple question about
03:04her Panamanian heritage, she quipped that penetration should consider retiring in the
03:08country. Things quickly devolved from there. Serena's nonstop vitriol put a target on her
03:26back. And soon enough, the attacks were coming from all sides. She sure
03:38stirred up a lot of drama for someone who only lasted two episodes.
03:427. Alexis Michelle – The Faux Fur Runway
03:45I take responsibility for the visual choices I made on the runway today.
03:50Some fans may call this season RuPaul's Best Friends Race,
03:53but that doesn't mean there weren't villains among the cast. Alexis Michelle, the Broadway queen,
03:58clearly thought the Rusical Challenge was hers to lose. Then the judges lambasted her runway look.
04:04Instead of owning it, Alexis threw the responsibility on her fellow contestants
04:08for not telling her that she looked bad.
04:10I've helped many of you on other days. Did nobody think to say to me,
04:15girl, what are you doing with that dress? Because I think I'm not going to win today
04:19because of this dress.
04:21Given that it's a competition for a lot of money,
04:24expecting your rivals to step in with some fashion advice seems kind of crazy.
04:28It was the same lack of self-awareness that would dog her throughout the rest of the competition.
04:32It's kind of not fair to say, well, you should have said something when you're wearing a fur coat
04:37and I look like a turkey. Like, your concept is way different than mine.
04:426. Gia Gunn – Coming for Kelly's Credentials
04:47Kelly looked a mess. The look was nothing to gag over.
04:50Glowing hearts on a simple dress is not giving me drag.
04:54From the moment she walked in, Gia Gunn oozed confidence. She also had a very sharp wit.
05:00I'm not too sure about April's look, because it's giving me a little bit of butch. But,
05:06uh, she's cute.
05:08Though she always portrayed herself as just telling it like it is, her supposed
05:12straightforwardness often bordered on brutal, especially when it was aimed at the more seasoned
05:16queens. In the first episode, Gia made her stance clear when she questioned Kelly Mantle's talent,
05:22suggesting that even with her long career in the industry, drag might not be her true calling.
05:27Kelly's drag caliber is just not to where I would expect it to be for an experienced queen.
05:36If it's just not giving it, maybe it's just not for you.
05:40Once Kelly was eliminated, Gia found new targets, including Darian Lake.
05:45Darian, you know, my God, there's room for everybody. Let's just say that.
05:52Throughout her stint on the show, Gia's presence was a constant shadefest,
05:56no matter how many times she said no tea, no shade.
05:59Number five, Roxy Andrews, Jinx out of drag.
06:03Jinx out of drag? Uh, why does she have an eye patch? What is going on?
06:09Move over, Coco and Alyssa. Right from episode one, the editors got right to work setting the
06:14stage for season five's biggest rivalry, between Roxy Andrews and Jinx Monsoon.
06:19This began the moment the two queens met in the workroom for the first time.
06:23It was clear that Roxy was not feeling Jinx.
06:26Her snide remarks about Jinx's look out of drag were rude enough,
06:30but once Roxy started grilling Jinx about her narcolepsy,
06:33we knew she was going to be a major instigator of drama.
06:36Wait, Miss Thing, so you fall asleep out of nowhere?
06:38The whole segment gave big mean girl energy. Little did we know,
06:42this was just a tip of the heavy drama that was to come.
06:45I was asked who I feel should be in the top three, and I feel like
06:48the three of us have given just a little bit more than you have.
06:51Number four, Valentina, The Reunion.
06:53I don't approve that, and I hope you guys know that.
06:55But you never told them. I called you. I FaceTimed you in tears.
07:00This season nine fan favorite may have won the Miss Congeniality crown,
07:03but her fellow contestants were not exactly rolling out the red carpet for her.
07:07No, you're the one that's upset. I'm not upset.
07:10Do I look upset to you?
07:12Yeah, you've raised your voice with me.
07:14Although she painted herself as sweet and innocent on the show,
07:17Valentina had rubbed many of her castmates the wrong way by the time they got together
07:21to shoot The Reunion. Months of resentment and online drama finally boiled over at the event.
07:26It really hurts my feelings that you have not spoken to me.
07:30I respect you and love you.
07:32You don't love me.
07:34The toxic behavior of some of Valentina's fans on social media had reached a fever pitch after
07:39her elimination, and her failure to intervene on her competitors' behalf left a bad taste
07:44in their mouths.
07:45Is it fan favorite or is it congeniality?
07:47If it's fan favorite, then I guess she deserves it.
07:50Number three, Raja O'Hara taking Evie down.
07:53I am shook that Evie has come for me. She messed with the absolute wrong bitch.
08:00Although she eventually redeemed herself in later All-Stars seasons,
08:04Raja O'Hara didn't do much to endear herself to fans during her first run on season 11.
08:09Eventual winner Evie Audley made no bones about telling it like it was.
08:13Have you ever seen somebody finger paint with their feet?
08:17That's Evie's mug.
08:18Focus on that blending boo.
08:19Bitch, I don't know what you're talking about.
08:21When she called out Raja and a few others for not being truthful,
08:24the Purple Queen was not having it.
08:26She launched into a tirade about Evie's looks in her confessional that might have gone a little
08:30too far. Once she opened that Pandora's box, there was no going back.
08:35Her villain status was pretty much cemented.
08:38I'm not gagging.
08:41I mean, I'm gagging from, like, the smell. It's like, bitch, do you bathe?
08:46Number two, Tyra Sanchez, Bridezilla.
08:50I'm just in my own world. Honestly, I wasn't paying attention to any of the other girls.
09:01Back in the day, drag race was a lot less touchy-feely.
09:05The queens freely spoke their mind without fear of being hounded online by the fans.
09:09Although queens like Raven had their fair share of nefarious moments.
09:13All of you guys think that I'm, like, shit. That I'm, like, nothing.
09:16I would never say that. Her interview was shit. Her look was shit. Her book cover was shit.
09:23Her trying to launch and sell her book to the judges was shit. She's shit.
09:28I would never say that.
09:29The true villain of the season was Tyra Sanchez. Sure,
09:32she already exhibited bratty behavior in the first few weeks, but it was in the Bridal Challenge
09:36that she truly showcased both her talent and her ruthlessness.
09:40You were this close to being Bridezilla, but you are perfection.
09:44When her season-long tension with Tatiana boiled over in the episode,
09:48it announced her as the resident villain.
09:50Um, I don't think that you're seeing that Tyra is a complete bitch.
09:55Yet even after being called out on the main stage,
09:58she still won the challenge and ultimately the crown.
10:02Sometimes, the villain really does come out on top.
10:05There isn't anything else to say.
10:06But why are you talking?
10:07Why are you talking?
10:13Anyways.

10:31Number one.
10:32Fifi O'Hara.
10:33Go back to Party City.
10:34It was irresponsible and I thought it was kind of sloppy just to...
10:37Because I told you to do something that you're good at?
10:39Season four finalists Sharon Needles and Fifi O'Hara tried to hash out their
10:43differences after a contentious group challenge in the third episode.
10:47It did not work.
10:48The following week, their discussion quickly escalated into one of the
10:51franchise's most memorable fights.
10:53You obviously won the goddamn challenge.
10:55Because...
10:56Because of me. Because I told you to go in your closet and dig out that goddamn gothic look.
11:01When the season aired, Sharon quickly became a fan favorite,
11:05and this moment only helped boost her popularity.
11:08Unfortunately for Fifi, her incredible takedown made her the antagonist in Sharon's winner edit.
11:13Oh, I have one look? Tired-ass showgirl. F*** you.
11:16At least I am a showgirl, bitch. Go back to Party City where you belong.
11:20While the performer has since distanced herself from the franchise,
11:24her cattiness and mind games earned her a spot in the Hall of Fame of Drag Race Villains.
11:29Did your favorite drag race villain make the list? Let us know in the comments.
11:33Yes, RuPaul. Very intimidating. Sitting next to these wabby astronaut queens.
