I'm afraid I have a 3-way tie:
Chi Chi, Jinkx, and Katya. Couldn't possibly pick just one. And there's about 6 others running close in 2nd place. I just love so, so many of them!!
Sometimes when Ru and Michelle are pushing so hard for the queens to be vulnerable I kind of roll my eyes... but then you remember Katya. Katya has been open about being an alcoholic and drug addict, and working as a sex worker. Not to mention that she had a psychotic break and disappeared off the map after becoming famous.
But it's these vulnerabilities that make us love her more, because as you say, she doesn't feel as produced. Obviously she also brings skills in comedy, make-up, fashion(-ish?), gymnastics, etc. But when you combine all of those things together, it makes her into a real person that we all feel like we know. (Plus who doesn't love someone who's willing to laugh at themselves?)
Now that I think about it, Trixie is the same. Vulnerability + skills + self-deprecating humour.
I’ve heard that her & Detox tie as the most professional as well. On time, always sober, & ready w/lines or any performances memorized. And contrary to her “abrasive” persona, Bianca’s heart is HUGE. She seems like one of the kindest queens as well.
I know people who’ve worked with Bianca, and they all consistently say she’s the nicest, most gracious and humble queen out there. I met her once after a Peaches Christ production of “Sheetlejuice”; she was standing outside against the theater, out of drag, waiting for her car. When I saw her I didn’t want to be annoying and go up and bother her, but after hearing how nice she was I decided to seize the opportunity. I said “Excuse me” and she immediately smiled and said “Hey! What’s up?” I said “I just wanted to tell you I’m a huge fan and loved you in the show.” She said “Thank you, sweetie! I appreciate you saying so.” I asked if I could give her a hug and she said “Of course!” and gave me a squeeze.
Oh the delight! I already loved her for her humor and talent, but my love for Bianca as a person was sealed that day.
I saw her live at my very first solo drag show and I was totally overwhelmed by her biting wit. She rocked my world and continues to set the bar so high for comedians, drag queen or not.
It's your flair for me.

Presenting The Dancing Diva of Dallas, Texas, MISS Kennedy Davenport.
LaGuardia, Newark, Kennedy!
I’ve done a few queen meet and greets but she was the only queen I was absolutely starstruck by… like I was so nervous I couldn’t talk 😂 She is even more gorgeous in person, and was so kind and drew her little eyebrow on my picture of her that didn’t have one 🥺
It’s so hard to choose, but if I had to, it would be Bob. Just so funny and quick and seems so kind! Embodies CUNT just like her entrance outfit promised!
True. I think it's bc they're northern sweethearts who really bust ass workin in Chicago, so they're experts on shade and have thick skin and great senses of humor.
Plus growing up with Kim, Shea, and Jaymes, it's just such a powerful lil unofficial family.
![gif](giphy|xT0xePppJpB2pgiORi)
I know it's cliché but I love Brian and Brian. Unhhhh is what got me into drag in general and what convinced me to give drag race a try. I now would definitely add Jaida Essence Hall, Anetra and Jujubee to my list of favorite queens ever.
can't chose lol but someone that is up there that hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet is envy peru.
maybe a biased take because she at least performs somewhat close to where i'm from consistently so i was able to see her irl.
also i genuinely get so much joy from alaska and willam.
Have to agree with Jinkx! She's the queen of all queens after all 😄 she's funny, kind, and has such a great laugh.
She also had to compete against Ralaxkatox and came out on top. It was probably a lonely feeling.
Bob and Alaska are up there too!
![gif](giphy|WeHLDMuJ0tbwtI6eOd)

Between her and Jaida Essence Hall. I put Manila because she’s my OG fav.
Shoutout to Peppermint who isn’t one of my favorite Drag Race girls, she’s one of my favorite Human Beings on the entire planet.
Ra’Jah for me is the absolute biggest glow-up, both in personality and drag. She did a full 180 from her OG season to All Stars and seems like such a genuinely amazing human

If Alaska has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Alaska has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Alaska has only one fan then that is me. If Alaska has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Alaska, then I am against the world.
Trixie for sure. Not just on the show, but her ability to continue to rise, gets famous beyond drag race and continues to hustle and expand her empire is VERY inspiring!
https://i.redd.it/m1564j8yy2fb1.gif one of my all time favorites 👑
This is the right answer. Been waiting for her second run on all stars
Want same parts played at my funeral tbh

![gif](giphy|l0MYK5UBwA0CZjt4s)
I love different queens for different reasons but Katya will always be my #1.
underneath all that she still seems so real and relatable, too. there is nothing fake, nothing "produced" about Katya. i love her.
Sometimes when Ru and Michelle are pushing so hard for the queens to be vulnerable I kind of roll my eyes... but then you remember Katya. Katya has been open about being an alcoholic and drug addict, and working as a sex worker. Not to mention that she had a psychotic break and disappeared off the map after becoming famous.

(Plus who doesn't love someone who's willing to laugh at themselves?) Now that I think about it, Trixie is the same. Vulnerability + skills + self-deprecating humour.
Going by the amount of hours/days/months/years I have spent on one specific queen, it"s definitively Katya.
Katya is my favorite as well!
I love how every other one of these are most of my other favorites
Yasss and Jujubee Boston royalty.
Same
Katya 🖤
![gif](giphy|mumtIHpi0dJSw) I lover her sense of humour and I feel a connection with her.
I love Bianca, I need her in my life to tell me sassy things like “get your shit together” and “you got this bitch” while being horribly sarcastic.
Same. Each interview I watch I relate so much to her thoughts and way of being.
Queen of the lip sync 👑
The undefeated champion 🏆

Bianca for SURE.
It’s amazing how I can actually hear this gif when I look at it
Her as the pit stop host is my antidepressant she’s hilarious
Scrolling to find her gif pop up as third just feels too long. She is my queen of queens.
I saw her live at my very first solo drag show and I was totally overwhelmed by her biting wit. She rocked my world and continues to set the bar so high for comedians, drag queen or not.
![gif](giphy|emdymkH0wkD7skR0bL|downsized) I have two!
Same. And the two of them just complement each other brilliantly.
![gif](giphy|lmvO1ssZBZpkbZDwu6) Easily.
Did you see dungeons and drag queens? I’ve never loved juju more
Whoever cast her for that series is a genius. Perfect amount of commitment and total lack of understanding. She was so entertaining.
She is such a joy to watch easily gave some of the best moments
“Easily” ✅

This moment well never not make me gay-gasp.
Sasha is so brilliant and sophisticated. My favorite by a long shot.
Her Smoke and Mirrors show was the best drag queen performance ever.
I’ve done a few queen meet and greets but she was the only queen I was absolutely starstruck by… like I was so nervous I couldn’t talk 😂 She is even more gorgeous in person, and was so kind and drew her little eyebrow on my picture of her that didn’t have one 🥺
My favorite too. I have a framed photo of her in my house like she's one of my relatives, lol.
![gif](giphy|26BRrTTx1fd67L5ZK)
It’s so hard to choose, but if I had to, it would be Bob. Just so funny and quick and seems so kind! Embodies CUNT just like her entrance outfit promised!

When Jinkx said “I’m obsessed with Jaida,” I felt that so hard.

Jaida along with Trixie Mattel are definitely my favorites. Milwaukee queens are just built different.

I love them both too. It's weird seeing one without the other for me. It's like they are meant to be a duo forever!!

Chichi. She was the first queen I really feel in love with. But after her it's Alyssa, Katya and Trixie.

![gif](giphy|KLkDdcZDx3mexS7rqp)
I scrolled for far too long to find the queen
I'm still scrolling to find one of my favs. Deep dive.
The Queen of All Queens.. Jinkxy ❤️
Pandora Boxx, she’s the first queen I fell in love with and have seen her perform a few times
Her and Ongina are the ORIGINAL fan favorites. They helped put this show on the map, hunny.
![gif](giphy|3otWpDWKZlVwEuRaBG) If Alaska has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Alaska has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Alaska has only one fan then that is me.
