11 of Drag Race’s most ‘unhinged’ moments, according to fans

After 15 years on our TV screens, RuPaul’s Drag Race has certainly had its fair share of chaotic moments.

There’s BenDeLaCreme writing her own name on the elimination lipstick in All Stars 3, Ginny Lemon walking off stage mid lip-sync on Drag Race UK season two, and the time Jaida Essence Hall was crowned via Zoom call thanks to a global pandemic.

Thanks to a viral post on X/Twitter, Drag Race fans from across the world are reflecting on some their favourite ever truly “unhinged” moments from the show’s long and winding herstory.

We’ve selected the best of those wild, fan-favourite moments for your viewing pleasure. As season 16 of the US edition and season two Drag Race UK vs The World continue to bring us unbelievable gags and goops, let’s take a moment to thank those queens who paved the way.

Season six and All Stars 4 icon Gia Gunn may have been seen as a villain of sorts, because she had absolutely no qualms about telling her fellow queens what she thought of them.

More than four years after she was last on our screen though, and we miss her deeply – so much so that we’ve come to realise that her dragging her competitors wasn’t shady, just hilarious.

These two moments – when she told Courtney Act that she “coughed like a man” and assured Trinity The Tuck that she wouldn’t be playing Caitlyn Jenner in the Snatch Game – are absolute highlights.

“My name is Gia gunn, I don’t jump guns hunny, I am the boom boom gun.”
