Mine:

1) S10 - Even if we knew who was winning, that didn't stop us from enjoying the season with queens we could connect to, epic lip-syncs, good challenges and runways, and already iconic moments.

2) S12 - Good challenges, good runways, a group of very talented queens (the He Who Must Not Be Named drama didn't stop this from being a good season overall, the rest of the queens were already so good).
3) S13 -  Middle of the road for me. The runways carried the season for me.

4) S15 - From what we've seen so far I'd place this here. I enjoy and appreciate Mistress for being this unfiltered in a more mainstream season... and that's just about it. Questionable song choices for lip-syncs and many filler queens.

5) S11 - "The Vanjie Show". An unnecessarily long season, and they made us witness the vanjie and brooklyn "romance" all through it.
6) S14 - Horrible. Dragged on (no pun intended) for so long, it was too obvious that the idea of the chocolate bar was to cover their intentions of saving a queen they wanted to push further, I didn't connect with any queen, and it was too catered to please everybody.

I would say S12 was the best, great challenges and cast, followed by S10.

Starting from S13 it takes way too long for a season to end in my opinion. 12 Episodes per season are more than enough for me (look at AS7).

1) S12 - great Challenges, strong competitors. I feel like this Season is the start of a new Drag Race cause the pandemic-airing brought in a bunch of new Drag Fans. I also think this one is (from the ones given) the most rewatchable

2) S15 - I think this is a very strong cast and I think most of the Top 8 would‘ve reached that Spot on other Seasons as well, there is Drama, there is Talent and good Challenges.

3) S10 - AMAZING Cast, great way to celebrate the 10th Season - however I hate a lot of the Challenges. The Pharmarusical was terrible, Breastworld is unwatchable, the Snatch Game was MEH and that Evil Twin Challenge… 

4) S14 - I think this is one of the weakest casts, cause I feel like many Queens were prematurely cast. I also hated how long this Season was with no Eliminations. We definitely had Drama and a few good Challenges in the beginning, but this Season would‘ve benefitted from 2 more older, seasoned Queens to balance out the young queens, a few more non-Elim Episodes and not such a stupid Twist.

5) S11 - I think this Season tried to fix the mistakes of S10, by having a bit more interesting Challenges, but this is probably one I rewatch the least. I don‘t even call it the Vanjie Season cause she was robbed of 2 wins, but more so ‚How long can we push Nina West and Plastique‘. Rajah was definitely robbed of the Monster Ball win AND the Top 4 was pushed a lot.

S10: While I don't think it's the best, it was the first drag race season I watched, and I got to see the crowning in time with the rest of the world so it will forever have a special place for me. While some challenges were horrible, the queens like Aquaria, The Vixen and Monique Heart made the season so memorable.

S14: I loved this season so much, it might be my favorite cast. There were barely any queens I didn't like, even the early outs were memorable, the challenges were very well thought out (save a queen, super trailers, daytona wind, moulin ru) and so fun to watch, you could tell the queens were having a great great time and loved each other. Willow is also so likeable, and it really felt like everyone had a shot at winning the finale. I didn't mind the season 'dragging' at all, I could watch these girls forever.

S12: Another amazing cast, good challenges, kept us company during quarantine, Heidi and Jaida were so entertaining, good storylines, love them sm

S15: I was watching the lalaparuza and thought to myself, damn I really like this show and I really like these queens. This season has been fun for me so far with sooo many talented queens, but the short length of the episodes is keeping it for being great for me. we are barely getting to know every queen and the cast is so big that it feels like im rushing always. thankfully we're getting longer episodes from now on.

S11: now this was the first season i watched from the start as it aired, so it does have this special place for me as well, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it was kind of a boring season, the challenges weren't great, the judging wasn't great, and production produced a lot. however, it gave us brooke lynn's CDR looks, and Ra'jah o'hara, so i can't complain much!

S13: for some reason i just cannot look at this season fondly. it was so stressful watching them pull soooo many production shenanigans and drag my girl utica every week for no reason. i really didn't care much who won the season by the time the finale came. i wish denali, kahmora, tamisha and utica lasted a lot longer

chaeri pls

S14 could have been one of the greatest seasons in my opinion if it wasn't dragged out for so damn long.

It's still probably my favorite season out of all these, my least favorite being S13 - as much as I love Utica & Symone, there was no recovering from that dreadful premiere. :saladga:

Time. It will not wait, no matter how hard you hold on...

1) S15 - the Sasha Colby Show. 
Love the queens I feel (if not for the 40min format) they would have really found their grove now. Id also be here for 20episode seasons, if that means we get to actually see the queens queening. Maybe do a bigger challenges and give them two episodes time or whatever. 
 

2) S10 - loved the Cast, loved the Drama, loved what got brought up to the surface, loved the winner

 

3) S14 - loved the cast. Took forever to get started but who cares. Now in retrospective I like it and they really said trans rights, love that

 

4) S13 - loved seeing Mik, Joey Jay could walk over me all day long honestly 🤤 and Utica was just STUNNING 

 

5) S12 - loved the cast, but the season overall objectively wasn’t as enjoyable since most of their storylines got canned due to the right decision to cut Sherry Pie. But so so happy Jaida won. Challenges were ok i guess

6) S11 - just rewatched the season… the queens are great, challenges are trash and the stories they went with overall so boring. :bye:

(1) S12

Super entertaining, even with all the things that went against it - covid, Sh*rry P*e, it DELIVERED and was such a light spot in the quarantine.

(2) S10

This was my first full regular season I watched back in 2018 and this might be subjective because of how sentimental I feel about it, but I enjoyed this season a lot and the cast is fantastic.

(3) S13

Tbh one of the best top 4 queens we've had, even though it was pretty obvious from the start who was gonna be in it. Either way, it has some iconic moments, predictability is the only thing I don't like about this season.

(4) S11

I don't think it's as bad as the fans make it, but it's still a bit negative compared to the other recent seasons, which makes it stand out in a bad way.

(5) S14

The pacing of this season sucks, but the queens are incredible. I don't like the fact that there is a top 5 and I feel like Kornbread's injury changed the course of the season a lot and I can't help but wonder what the season would look like with her.

(6) S15 (so far)

This is of course not because of the cast, the cast is superb, it's because of the 20 minute reduction which makes the season feel fast paced and some of the queens are unexistant in the edit. The season is getting better though, I have to admit.

#1 is Season 12 for sure. It might be my favorite season of the whole franchise, I loved it. Loved the queens, loved the looks, the challenges, the twists, I was TeamGigi but Jaida is an amazing winner. 

#2 would be.. Season 14. I thought it was fantastic, so many amazing queens, amazing storylines. Don't agree with the winner, again lol, but she did great and I would've been fine with any of the top 5 winning. 

#3 would be Season 15. I think it's a great season so far, amazing queens. A truly no-filler cast. Except maybe Poppy and Robin lol

#4 is Season 10. 

#5 is Season 13.

#6 is Season 11. 

 

I have only seen each season once, watched specific challenges many times a la Madonna Rusical. If I rewatched them all maybe my opinion would change lol

I'm too lazy to review them with deep comments so I'll just rank them with brief insights:

1. S10 great season and a fair follow-up for the incredible S09

2. S12 - great cast

3. S14 - might be an unpopular opinion but i really enjoyed it and the cast was great

4. S15 - i'm loving it but the s14 cast was more diverse and charismatic 

5. S11 - meh

6. S13 - idk i don't like it, the worst of recent/post s10 seasons/ felt way more "dragged" than s14 for me
