Throwing Shade: My 10 Least Favorite 'Drag Race' Contestants
Huff Post

It's week two on "RuPaul's Drag Race" season eight, and I'm feeling real nostalgic. This season's looking like it's gonna be a huge step up from season seven, and there doesn't seem to be a single queen I vehemently dislike yet. (#TeamThorgy) Because I miss hating on people, here's my least favorite "RuPaul's Drag Race" contestants of all time.

10. Trixie Mattel (Season Seven)

I know a lot of people really liked Trixie, but I thought her makeup was too much and her comedy bits were basic and expected. I don't get the hype. #sorryboutit

9. Vivienne Pinay (Season Five)

There's very few things I dislike in a drag queen less than one who describes herself as "the fishiest queen ever." Honestly, get a real talent.

8. Madame LaQueer (Season Four)

Michelle told you not to wear green.

7. Alexis Mateo (Season Three)

I also tend to dislike pageant queens; I think they're boring. Alexis Mateo was SO pageant. Unsure why she made top three if we're being honest.

6. Laganja Estranja (Season Six)

The obvious things to hate about Laganja are the constant "YAAASS MAMA!" and over-the-top dramatics. My actual least favorite thing about her was her marijuana references. I hate people who are loud about smoking weed. Stoners are the worst in that way.


5. Raja (Season Three)

I thought she was mean and lacked the talent or personality to make up for it. (Not to mention I'm surprised she didn't get dragged for all her culturally questionable looks?) I think Manila Luzon was robbed when Raja won on Season 3.

4. Ivy Winters (Season Four)

Honestly, I didn't dislike Ivy Winters. RuPaul's constant "IVVVVVVEEEEEEYYYY WIIIINNNNTTUUUUUURRRRZZZZZ!" every time she walked on stage ruined it for me, though.

3. Pearl (Season Seven)

I really don't understand the hype with her, either. Her look was intense, but she wasn't dynamic. The obsession with her irritated me.

2. Coco Montrese (Season Five)

Everyone's favorite Dorito. I though the rivalry with Alyssa Edwards was stupid. (#TeamAlyssa all the way, though.)

1. Tyra Sanchez (Season Two)

Hands down my least favorite winner of all time. She was annoying but had no personality simultaneously. How does that happen? I don't know.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
