Which Queen has been on the most seasons?

Over the course of 12 seasons of RuPaul's Drag Raceand five seasons of All Stars, some queens have had the chance to come back and compete several times in the series. While a few of them were able to take the crown at the end, most of the queens got very far twice (or thrice!) only to go home without winning yet again.

It is important to note that this list only includes competitive episodes that these queens were on. Thus, this list excludes reunion episodes and the non-competitive Holi-Slay special. Moreover, the list excludes the queens' appearances as mentors on Secret Celebrity Drag Race and their features as Lip Sync Assassins on All Stars 5 - given that they weren't competing for themselves during those seasons.

Naomi Smalls - 20 Episodes

Naomi Smalls first competed on RuPaul's Drag Race season 8, where she was a finalist alongside Bob the Drag Queen and Kim Chi. With a total of 10 episodes, Naomi competed on every single episode of season 8.

A few years later, Naomi Smalls was cast on All Stars 4, which also had 10 episodes in total. Given that Naomi got to the finale, she also competed on every single episode during that season. Overall, Naomi Smalls has competed on 20 episodes of Drag Race.

Monet X Change - 20 Episodes

Monet X Change may have placed 6th on RuPaul's Drag Race season 10, but that doesn't change the fact that she competed on 10 episodes during that season. All in all, this is a reminder of just how long season 10 actually was.

Then, Monet X Change came back to compete on All Stars 4, which she won alongside Trinity The Tuck. As a finalist, Monet competed on 10 episodes during that season, which brings her to a grand total of 20 Drag Race episodes.

Kennedy Davenport - 20 Episodes

RuPaul's Drag Race season 7 had 13 competitive episodes, and Kennedy Davenport competed in 12 of them - falling just short of making it to the finale. Then, the dancing diva came back for All Stars 3, where she competed on all 8 episodes and made it to the finale.

With a total of 20 episodes, Kennedy Davenport has competed on Drag Race more than queens like Alyssa Edwards (16 episodes), Katya (19 episodes), and Detox (19 episodes).

Shea Coulee - 21 Episodes

As a Drag Race season 9 finalist and the All Stars 5 winner, Shea Coulee has competed in a lot of episodes from the franchise.

First, Shea Coulee competed in 13 episodes of season 9 - falling short of becoming America's Next Drag Superstar after the show adopted the Lip Sync For The Crown format. Then, Shea came back to All Stars 5 and took the crown, thus competing in all 8 episodes of the season. In total, Shea Coulee has competed on 21 episodes of Drag Race.

Alaska - 21 Episodes

Roxxxy Andrews is another example of a queen who competed on every episode of both seasons that she was featured on. First, Roxxxy was featured on all 13 competitive episodes of Drag Race season 5. Then, on All Stars 2, the queen also managed to compete on all 8 episodes.

As a two-time Drag Race finalist, it comes as no surprise that Roxxxy Andrews has competed in 21 episodes on the franchise.

Latrice Royale - 22 Episodes

Latrice Royale first competed on RuPaul's Drag Race season 4, where she was crowned Miss Congeniality. In the subsequent years, Latrice came back to compete on seasons 1 and 4 of All Stars. Despite never having made to a finale, Latrice still competed in most of the episodes during each of those seasons.

On Drag Race season 4, Latrice Royale competed on 11 episodes. Then, the queen competed on 3 episodes of All Stars 1 and 8 episodes of All Stars 4. Overall, Latrice has competed on 22 episodes of Drag Race.

Alexis Mateo - 23 Episodes

Not too many queens have been able to compete on three different seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race, but Alexis Mateo has certainly achieved that feat. First, Alexis competed on every competitive episode of Drag Race season 3, for a total of 13. Then, the Puerto Rican queen went on to compete on 4 episodes on All Stars 1 and 6 episodes on All Stars 5.

With a total of 23 episodes, Alexis Mateo came very close to tying in first place with two of her Drag Race sisters. However, the queen fell just one episode short, unfortunately.

Trinity The Tuck - 23 Episodes

Trinity The Tuck is another two-time RuPaul's Drag Race finalist. What's more, the queen won All Stars 4 alongside Monet X Change, which is yet another impressive feat.

On Drag Race season 9, Trinity The Tuck competed on all 13 episodes that were worth a maxi challenge win and/or elimination. Then, Trinity once again competed on every episode of All Stars 4, bringing her grand total to 23 episodes.

Manila Luzon - 24 Episodes

Over the years, Manila Luzon has competed on three seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race. First, Manila was a season 3 finalist alongside Raja and Alexis Mateo - which means that she competed on 13 episodes. Then, the queen came back for All Stars 1, but was eliminated on episode 3. Years later, Manila came back once more for All Stars 4, where she competed on 8 episodes.

Between season 3 of Drag Race and seasons 1 and 4 of All Stars, Manila Luzon has fought for the crown on 24 competitive episodes of the series.

Jujubee - 24 Episodes

Jujubee is the first and only three-time RuPaul's Drag Race finalist. Over the years, the queen was a competitor on every single episode of Drag Race season 2, All Stars 1, and All Stars 5.
