One of the best moments of a queen REALLY strategizing, that i remember, is way back in season 3. The OG Drag Detective, Shangela, manipulating Carmen into picking the reggae genre by acting like she really wanted it. Knowing she's gonna get whatever's left, because Manila chose the order they would pick in, she made sure that whatever was left was in her wheelhouse. Now did Shangela also land in the bottom? Yes, but even then she knew she could beat Carmen in the lipsync (because cmon, what could Carmen do?)

You gotta give props to Violet on the dance challenge. She won the mini challenge and was picking the pairs. For her partner Violet need someone who she can work with and that person shouldn't overshadow her. Thats Katya she gets along with everyone would listen to Violets suggestions and can dance. The best dancer there is Kennedy she pairs her with Pearl even if Kennedy over shadows Pearl she can't get more overshadowed than Trixie whose with Ginger. That works for Violet because she wants Trixie gone She didnt want her back,she voted for trixie when she was asked who should go she voted Trixie and Trixie was the only one with no wins so she knew that production would be more likely to send trixie than anyone else and it worked Katya and Violet won and Trixie went home.

One recent one I could include is Plane Jane ranking Nymphia Wind in last place on the premiere episode of Season 16. Nymphia had arguably one of the best talent show performances, and would’ve probably had a strong chance of making the Top 2 and even winning the episode (and immunity) in most other scenarios. And if she’s up against Plane Jane, there’s a chance she’d beat Jane in the lip-sync. But by Plane Jane voting her last, Jane knocks her biggest competition down a peg and ensures she has a better chance of winning the episode and immunity.

I don't think the friendship argument and "maybe they would need friends at to 4" thing is a smart move for Detox actually... If there was something to do in group, then it would have been in pairs. Detox is Roxxxy's best friend, they could have worked really well together. Detox didn't need both Alaska and Roxxxy, and Alaska had been slaying the whole competition. I think eliminating Alyssa was smarter than eliminating Roxxxy, but still not a good strategic move. Detox and Katya were almost tied for second place, Katya had more fan support indeed, but Alaska was miles ahead. And looking at track records, Alyssa had already been eliminated once, I'm pretty sure she had no chance at winning in the judges' minds, in my opinion, she would have been cut at top4.

i've thought about manila's elimination and i feel like it's also vital that it was naomi pulling the lipstick and not monet. like monet was just being petty edit-wise, which to be fair is iconic in and of itself, but it wouldn't have ranked AS iconic as other things in the drag race iceberg or whatever. who knows, maybe the fan reception would've been even worse and would've prevented her from winning because of that move. i mean, they already got backlash for the double crowning. also look at UK VS the world, one of the lowest-rated seasons of drag race... now, naomi's move was messy but still kinda perfect? like yeah, there were 0 chances she would have won the season so she might as well carve a place for herself in the drag race legacy while she's on air. her competitors never saw her as a threat, and she came out with that lipsync AND lipstick making a STATEMENT mama. she really said, do you take me seriously now? she single-handedly shook up the game in a similar fashion to her beating acid betty on S8.

It then all depends on wether or not Monet picked Manila or Latrice during her lipsync against Naomi : if she did pick Manila and Manila wins the acting challenge, then Monet is going home and even if she didn’t pick Manila (which I think is unlikely) I think Monet is still going home over Naomi (Naomi technically saved Manila by eliminating Latrice and there was this drama between Monet and Manila earlier on). Your theory still makes sense : it definitely helped Naomi but i think it mainly helped Monet get the crown in the scenario !

I really disagree with the Detox move at #4. I think you're underestimating Detox's place in the season to a pretty severe degree. Detox had the next best track record after Alaska and I think she has a great chance of winning in the finals without Alaska there. Katya never won a lipsync and was thrown in the bottom twice early on, once when she had no business being there. The judges fully expected her to go when Ginger went and they were fine with that. Alyssa had already been eliminated and there was a huge discussion on the show regarding whether or not Alyssa was being favored by the judges. It would be a weird move to show that discussion and then crown Alyssa with the 2nd worst track record. They'd be validating Jaremi's complaints and we know that's the last thing drag race wants to do. Detox's only time in the bottom was episode 2 and she didn't even deserve that to begin with. She was only put there for Rolaskatox drama and the judges knew that. If she eliminates Alaska, she's sitting in the finale with the best track record, the best strategic resume, and the most story momentum. And she's up against someone who was in the bottom every episode, someone who was already eliminated, and someone who the judges expected to go home episode 3.

The strategic choice of Vanessa Van Cartier exposing the queen for having the phone in the workroom on camera. If she wasn’t the badass mother bitch of the season before that, she definitely was after.

All Stars 2 was the beginning of playing Drag Race like you would Survivor. Alaska and Detox brought "a goat" along to the finale that they knew would never win so they only had to worry about eachother and the quirky underdog. Alyssa would have been another wild card and would have killed read u wrote u

Another strategic move (making an alternative top 2) in all stars 8 could have been if Kandy sent home Jimbo instead of Jessica , but i'm happy for Jimbo either way i think 3rd time was the charm for her truly

let's be real, kandy was not gonna win regardless of who would've been top 2 with her, jimbo or jessica. she made a SMART choice by doing the "right" thing and avoiding the backlash (aka hate comments and death threats).

Genuinely I don’t think there was any strategy behind Kandy eliminating Jessica. If Kandy is anything, it’s loyal. Her and Jimbo were in an alliance coming in and were great friends before the show, so she stuck to that

The thing is; half your list is based of what you perceive a strategic move. To my knowledge, Rolaskatok just kept each other around, it damaged Roxxxy in the long run. Peppermint and Trinity have never said they applied any logic to selecting each other. Peppermint in a interview said she just wanted to showcase her skills at lip syncing. The group eliminated Jaymes because they felt she was being favoured and a diva. There could have been logic as they get a briefly descriptive list of outfits so you could by process of elimination know what challenges were coming up. I agree with Selina and Willow. In the earlier seasons, don’t forget Shangela when selecting the music categories playing other girls. Ellie diamond with the comedy roast order, but the queens beat her down with being salty bitches. The last two with Naomi and Blu I agree with. However, Blue is an example where it paid off for her. Naomi kinda damaged herself.

Some early season examples, since this only covers after 2017: Alaska picking Mack in the Season 5 makeover (picking someone tall and thin to make over kept her out of the BTM2) Shangela choosing the Standup challenge order in Season 3 (to mess with the Heathers) Tyra & Raven bullying Tatianna made her insecure and built themselves up, which wasn’t punished because RuPaul LOVED Tyra at the time Katya staying out of the Season 7 drama led her to become THE most beloved queen in the her story of the franchise. Katya was so loved, Trixie won All Stars because of her proximity to Katya.

Okay, Alaska isn't going to be sent home because of friendship but not Roxxxy? Also, she got good fan response. Detox won't be cut for sure. Easily. Detox is Michelle's favourite. Michelle loves her. RuPaul gagged for all of her runways. Carson is a fashion person. She was easily making Top 3. Without a doubt.

Kinda of disagree about Manila not making a huge move at this point of the competition. She was definitely ready after Latrice elimination to send some big competitions home, especially at the end of the season. I think Monique, Monet or Trinity would have went home (maybe Monique for trying to eliminate Latrice or Monet for being safe because of their issue). She thought (at that point) that Naomi loved and respected her so it would be smart to keep her (knowing what happened obviously not that much...)
