The girls were terrified of losing a spot in the competition, Ru is pissing her pants laughing as she’s sending home girls for good, Manila is wearing fashionable spaghetti, Latrice’s vigorous hair flip while in the splits… it’s modern art

    The Bing Bang Bong episode is my all time fav, I’m from the UK (so might be biased) - but it was so charming, the covid situation was really unique and I loved the queens re-entering! I also loved Graham narrating the queens postcards that was a nice touch (no Eurovision lip synch song tho …)
    I think you hit the nail on the head when you talk about pacing - this episode is probably one of the best paced I can remember of drag race and that’s a big contributor to getting as much content and queen screen time as possible

    • @jakejancook
      @jakejancook Před 2 lety +4

      I actually think the stand up challenge on UK2 is my favourite. It starts with a great Recap on the previous episode. Then there's a great mini challenge where things get camp and silly. There's a big werk room portion because of the lineup drama. The stand-up was great, and then a runway which serves a lot of glamour. It really covers all bases

  • @kylemunns6063
    @kylemunns6063 Před 2 lety +348

    My fav is CDR 1 Snatch Game. I feel like it's a home run because every element that people love in an episode is there and delivered. Mini Challenge? Truly top tier reading challenge. Main Challenge? Something everyone loves, snatch game. Performances? Great contrasted with comically bad which is truly the best. Runway? This might be a controversial opinion, but I love night of 1000 (blanks) runways I they delivered with Celine. Lipsync? Probably the best of the season, a true showdown. On top of all that, this was such a pivotal point in the journey of our winner and that makes it feel like an important episode overall. (also, I didn't feel as much CDR 1 judging riggory as usual this episode, the winner was right, the bottoms were right)

    I can't believe a Snatch Game episode wasn't considered!! AS7 with Jinkx, Trinity, Monet, and Raja is phenomenal (I think you must've not considered any of AS7, no?), but for me, the best Snatch Games episodes to consider is S6 with Bendelacreme, Bianca, Joslyn, Adore, Darienne Lake... or AS3 with Bendelacreme, Shangela, Aja, and BeBe ... or AS2 with Katya, Alaska, Alyssa, and Ginger.... or S14 with Symone, Gottmik, Rosé, and Denali (and how the F did Utica Queen survive that??) I think Snatch Game is always one of the most anticipated and most beloved by the fandom.

    My favorite episode is Bing Bang Bong, the beginning of the episode with the shocking announcement of the show being suspended because of a global pandemic (with one of the cast members leaving the competition and having to be replaced) is just the most "reality" moment in any reality TV show, and the whole episode has everything that a great episode needs (shocking moments, funny moments, returning queens, a great performance, drama in untucked, etc.) the fact that it couldn't be written by anyone and it will never happen again puts it at the top of my list.

  • @sontaranmc2109

    Another one I would pick for the really old school Drag Race is S2 E5, the wedding challenge. S2-4 all had one thing in common and it was the super campy, messy sort of drama and this one is one of my favorites. Tyra being messy, her and Tatianna arguing in the werk room, Tati flopping but being saved with the immunity, "Tyra is a complete bitch" culminating in her winning, the beginning in Tyra's pseudo-redemption edit, one of the most underrated lip syncs in the series, not to mention the *iconic* untucked fight. That episode was peak early Drag Race mess from start to finish and it's magical to watch.

  • @maxmoroney4607

    It's definitely UK S2 Episode 5 for me, and it's not even close. And without reiterating too much of what you already said in the video, I think a part of it, other than the excellent performances, engaging drama, smooth narrative flow, packed runtime, and strong lipsync, is that it was the REAL emergence of the heavy-hitters in the second half of the competition, in Bimini, A'Whora, and Tayce. Obviously Lawrence had been an incredible competitor from the start, but this episode is where we REALLY see 3 other queens, ones that the show had been subtly pushing us to root for, finally get their flowers, which just makes for a really satisfying watch.

    It's kinda funny seeing how people are saying Drag Race has fallen off and is never going to reach the heights of the golden age, when the majority of well-regarded episodes are from the VH1 era on (9, 12, 14, AS6, UK2, España 1 and 2, Canada 2, etc.) Sure modern Drag Race has its issues, but I think people can be way too hard on it, as well as looking back on the older seasons with rose colored glasses. It's obvious that Drag Race still has a lot to show, I mean All Stars 7 is quickly becoming one of the all time bests. Sure there's some misses (cough cough Down Under) but I'm very optimistic about what the future of Drag Race holds.

    I would add Season 9, "Your Pilot's on Fire", we had the amazing "Teets and Asky" which I believe is the best advert in Drag Race herstory, Trinity as Sister Mary Coont, the hilarious trainwreck that was "Nina and Tina", the awesome club kid runway with Peppermint's fantastic lollipop look, Nina's lipsync delivery and of course Valentina's mask affair. Just love to re-watch this episode and my favourite season in general!

    From newer seasons, definitely Drag Race España's talent show. It was so good it made me sad because now US drag race now pales in comparison.
    But from earlier seasons, I always loved the first episode drag on a dime kind of challenges. I think my favorite was Season 4. They should do apocalyptic couture again on the show, now that's more relevant than ever.

  • @thoseriseofkingdomsadswith972

    One of my favorites was the Break Up Bye-Bye episode of Drag Race UK 1.
    -One of the best songs, Divina and Vivienne start switching places with their story line
    -Great runway
    -Front runner flops for the first time and shows much needed vulnerability and DESTROYS the lipsync
    -Blu gets her first win, which I genuinely think she needed to be cast for UK vsTW
    Just great shit.

    Drag Race Spain S2 won a place in my heart and expecially episode 2 as you mentioned.

  • @coqui9879
    @coqui9879 Před rokem +1

    I personally am a big fan of season 9’s roast. The episode opens with the queens talking about their challenge wins and realizing that Peppermint and Farrah are the only 2 left who haven’t won a challenge yet. That opening conversation sets up the idea that you need a win to stand a chance in the competition, and if you don’t have one you might as well go home. Well, at the end of the episode Peppermint finally gets her first win and Farrah goes home. The episode ends with every queen left having a challenge win. I just always found it to be a satisfying and well executed story

  • @NerdySwede
    @NerdySwede Před 2 lety +3

    CDRs2 Under the Big Top is also very good, just because it's one of the best written rusicals, it got like the best and worst performances all at once which gives you whiplash, a KILLER runway and a good lipsync with the former frontrunner in the bottom. Overall a great experience.

  • @Camdensmoustache
    @Camdensmoustache Před 2 lety +7

    I’m going with the moulin ru- now I may be extremely biased purely cause camden is my favourite queen but to me everything was perfect. A high quality challenge, intense drama, and to wrap it all off the chocolate bar twist

  • @formy52

    Love this list and tbh really appreciate the tasteful and positive way you talk about the franchise and the queens.
    That said, my fav episode of all time is Season 8 Episode 4: New Wave Queens. The New York girls feeding off of each other, the underdogs winning the challenge, the fierce Chi Chi lip sync all tie up really nicely for me.
    Season 8 also gave us one of the best top four of any season and my personal favourite winner with Bob, so I might be biased lmao

  • @threesugarssevensugars2113

    I haven’t finished the video yet so I’m not sure if it’s mentioned but one of my absolute favourite episodes and one I rewatch independently all the time is the season 6 stand up comedy challenge. The challenge itself gave some iconic moments, every drag race fan knows Laganja’s set pretty much by heart and of course it was fantastic to see Bianca excelling and the thing she does best. The workroom drama is fantastic as well with several rivalries building, not to mention the tension built that leads to one of the most dramatic untucked moments. Trinity K Bonet’s story line feels fulfilling as we see her succeeding and coming out of her shell after struggling throughout the competition and we feel so proud as viewers. This episode is just full of such iconic moments, Laganja sat under the table writing her jokes springs to mind. This episode also sees the conclusion of her storyline as she is sent home after that unforgettable blowup in the aforementioned untucked. To top it off, the lipsync is also fantastic and so memorable just for that double split from both the girls at the exact same time. Just fantastic, perhaps my favourite episode of all time.

    AS6, Ep5 is one of my favorites. I loved the Pink Table Talks, I loved the gag of having Bianca come on as the Lip-Sync Assassin, and of COURSE the Ginger/ Mayhem lipsync was ICONIC.
    AS6 is my favorite All Stars Season tbh

  • @user-cd8yo9ku4n
    @user-cd8yo9ku4n Před 2 lety +19

    Great list
    I would also include UK 2 Episode 8 - The stand up, The drama and of course the Iconic dramatic lipsync between Awhora and Tayce with that dramatic beautiful song of dusty springfield
    Also UK 3 was Mess, I really enjoyed the Last 4 Episodes. Episode 7 The fugly Ball was the best of the season and the cherry on top is the lipsync of vanity and Alesha reaction.

  • @max-zr9nf
    @max-zr9nf Před 2 lety +2

    Some that come to mind are:
    España S2 Talent Show
    USA S5 Roast
    All-Stars S2 Revenge of the Queens
    USA S9 Finale
    USA S12 Election Improv Challenge
    USA S12 Premiere
    All-Stars 6 Lip-Sync Smackdown
    All-Stars 6 Commercial Challenge
    All-Stars 3 Variety Show
    USA S6 Snatch Game
    Canada S2 Finale
    España S1 Finale
    UK2 Girl Groups
    S14 Daytona Wins
    But of all of these, my pick is España’s S2 Talent Show. The lip sync wasn’t great but I think that you can make a case for it being the best main challenge, runway AND reading challenge in the whole franchise really shows.

    @maddiebricout3521 Před 2 lety +1

    I’ve rewatched RuRu Vision so many times. It’s perfect from top to bottom. Joe Black’s storyline in this one episode is my favorite of all time. She went from being the queen with the most notoriety before the show to (in my opinion) unjustly put in the bottom in episode one (the weird Brighton critique) to coming back after months of a pandemic wearing an elephant mascot costume and being chosen by the girls to return, to singing the funny awkwardly-paced lyrics “welcome back darlings I’m here to haunt you it’s Joe Black and guess what this camp witch is back” but also the great line “… zig-a-zig-a Glen close but no cigar”, to seeing Ru’s disgust during her performance, to having a stunning runway, to her whispering “H&M ;)”, to Ru yelling at her, to her being eliminated again to one of the best lip sync songs of any franchise (Don’t Leave Me This Way). Plus I love Bimini, the Ahora and Tayce romance storyline, Ahora and Sister’s similar French fry looks which have a payoff in the upcoming design challenge, and Tia’s charm.

  • @millieboon

    I can’t narrow down episodes but what I like in an episode/ season is when we get a lot of time in the work room so definitely uk s2 &1 and early season till like s6 , S9, S11 have that aspect for me aswell and so does as7 , I found that as6 skipped a lot of workroom and so I didn’t enjoy it as much

  • @glennlaroche1524
    @glennlaroche1524 Před 2 lety +6

    Love that you included one of my picks--the s9 finale, altho personally I think that the lipsynch for the crown was a great change, unlike yourself. Far too many viewers were waaayyy too hung up on the whole "report card" thing---I love that now the report card is what gets you to the finale, but, once there, you gotta slay the lipsynchs, which, let's face it, is what (most) queens do when you get right down to the old nittay-grittay.
    Also, for me, as good as s12 ep1 was, and I did get my life, I like the ball episode a tit bit better, just 'cause Leslie Jones was sooooooo happy to be there, and was fully participating not just as a judge but also as a superfan. Get her to replace Ross anytime, sorry not sorry.

    The season 10 ball was up there for me with Aquarias slayage and that iconic lip sync
    The season 14 finale is one I love as well, everyone’s performances were amazing and it just felt fresh
    The AS3 and AS2 talent shows as well, They are the best US talent shows and the best reading challenges
    AS7 snatch game and ball are two of the best episodes for each of those challenges
    Also the season 12 Madonna Rusical
    But personally my favorite is the AS6 Rusical

  • @katiematthews8848

    1. CDR2 circus episode - best runway on any drag race season EVER, and so many iconic moments in the musical (good and bad)
    2.Secret celebrity drag race roast - just such a fun and feel good episode
    3. Season 9 reunion - so entertaining and perfect amount of drama (enough to keep me glued to the screen without stressing me out (like the season 10 reunion did))

  • @matesafranka6110
    @matesafranka6110 Před 2 lety +1

    S12E1 is definitely one of my favorites as well. I don't really care about drama, so I tend to gravitate toward the more feel-good episodes like the makeovers, especially in seasons 6, 9, 10 and 12. The reactions from Miz Cracker and the rest of the cast to Chester See in drag is just one of my all time favorite moments.

  • @MiniatureRanni

    @SaraGrossbarth Před 2 lety +1

    My favorite episode is actually UK2 episode 3 - I think the storylines in that specific episode have amazing payoffs, particularly Tia Kofi pulling off an upset in the lip sync against Asstina. It overtook my longtime favorite, which is the wedding episode of US2 - pure drama, haha!
    I think you are spot on that the CDR2 makeover challenge is one of the best of the franchise! Icesis's moments made me weepy.
    My controversial opinion is that, as good as Revenge of the Queens was at the time, it is tough to rewatch it knowing how dirty the show did Jaremi. But still very satisfying from a storyline perspective.
    Love how thoughtful your content is, I always look forward to more videos!

    any season 6 episode tbh. I'm really biased bc s6 is my favorite and I rewatch it whenever I want to feel good. it really comes down to what you are looking for, like you said. for example, halfway through AS7 episode 6, I thought to myself "this is one of the best episodes of drag race ever" because I was having so much fun, the concepts of the groups, the rehearsals, I was laughing loudly and it made me happy haha

  • @zakgravett379
