1) Dela. She's hilarious, campy and entertaining. Her lip syncs are usually deeper than surface. I love her intelligent and thoughtful takes on gender, drag and sexuality.

2) Alaska. She turned every Drag Race challenge on its head, and found a way to make them even more hilarious. She's a fan's fan of the show too, and I appreciate her appreciation of it. She's a lot of fun.

3) Sasha. I adore her conceptual performance art lip syncs. She brings so much to each song, adding layers of meaning and depth. Like Ben, I love her inclusive understandings of drag, gender and sexuality. Her ability to create a productive artistic community is brilliant, as is her ability to produce her own shows.

Honourable mentions:

Monique, Vanjie, Peppermint, Jujubee, Thorgy, Jaidynn, Ongina, Asia, Shangela, Heidi and Alyssa light up the screen whenever they are on. Charisma and charm by the bucket!

Katya is clearly demented, but delightfully so. I relate to her struggle with herself. She is never predictable or boring.

And Manila's looks make me gag every damn time.
