17 Times The Queens Competing On "RuPaul's Drag Race UK Vs The World" Slayed It On Their Original Seasons

How many times have I watched these Drag Race moments? ... A sensible 74.

RuPaul's Drag Race has officially taken over the globe — currently there are seven international versions of the show, with more on the way! However, RuPaul's Drag Race: UK Versus the World is the first time we will see queens from different international versions of the franchise compete for the crown. In celebration of the premiere, I rounded up these moments from the queens' previous seasons where they absolutely slayed the competition.

1. Jujubee's First Reading Challenge

How many times has Jujubee competed on Drag Race? A sensible 74... No, seriously. She is the first queen to ever compete on four seasons, and previously has made it to the finale EVERY single time. On Season 2 she delivered these iconic reads. "Leg and Dairy" set the bar for every read to come on the franchise.

2. Cheryl Vs. Blu

BBC/ World of Wonder

In Season 1 of Drag Race UK it was Cheryl Hole that sent Blu Hydrangea packing. Both queens performed the hell out of "Call My Name" by Cheryl Cole, but Cheryl HOLE had the boost of meeting her idol Cheryl COLE under her belt. Too many Cheryls to keep track of. Will Blu want revenge against the queen that gave her the boot, or will the UK queens team up?

3. Baga Chipz 'Much Betta'

BBC/ World of Wonder

Baga Chipz is stunning. Baga Chipz is class. Baga Chipz lives in my mind rent free saying, "MUCH BETTA," over and over and over again. In the Downton Draggy acting challenge, Michelle Visage gives Baga a cue to say her line "much better," which she misunderstands as a compliment. It's a top-tier Drag Race moment, and Baga ended up winning the challenge.

4. Jimbo's Rocky Mountain Photo Shoot

Jimbo became legendary from the second she walked into the Canadian Werk Room. We're so unbelievably lucky to be getting more Jimbo on our screens. The first mini-challenge on Canada's Drag Race had the queens climbing a rocky mountain where they were blasted with a powerful fan. Jimbo just...screamed. It's everything.

5. Mo Heart Brown Cow Stunning

VH1/ World of Wonder

Mo has had us by the heart since her original season. On the main stage of Season 10 during the "denim and diamonds" runway, she wore a giraffe print, which caused some confusion amongst the judges. When asked about it, she said, "I saw it and I was like, Brown cow...stunning!" She was able to build her entire All Stars 4 talent show off the phrase, and it is forever iconic.

6. Janey Jacké's Finale Runway

World of Wonder

Janey Jacké is the runner-up from the first season of Drag Race Holland. All season long, she delivered gorgeous and polished runway looks, but her red angel in the finale was *chef's kiss*. It's so good that you could stick her into a Victoria's Secret fashion show, and she would look right at home. Not many people have seen Drag Race Holland, but Janey will without a doubt give the other queens a run for their money.

7. Jimbo Reads Rita

World of Wonder

Jimbo did not hold back (oh, at all) on Episode 7 of Canada Season 1. Backstage, she reads Rita Baga to filth in an iconic rant. "Your lace line looks like barf. Your hair is fried. That wig should go directly in the garbage." After watching this episode, "Crusty ass Golden Girls bullsh*t" was immediately added to my vocabulary.

8. Pangina Heals as Host

Pangina Heals is one of the hosts of Drag Race Thailand, and we have never actually gotten to see her compete. This is the first time a queen has hosted first and competed second. (The opposite being Brooke Lynn Hytes, who went from competitor to host.) Pangina is extremely good at her job, and eats up her own contestants, serving looks week after week. I am VERY excited for her.

9. Blu and Baga join "The Frock Destroyers"

Blu, Baga, and Divina came together in Episode 5 of UK1 to create "The Frock Destroyers." The girl group won the main challenge, and went on to become chart-topping superstars after the show aired. I do not want to break up with the Frock Destroyers. I want another album. Now!

10. Cheryl's Confessionals

BBC/ World of Wonder

Though she may not have won a challenge on her original season, Cheryl won us over in her confessionals. When this meme hit the internet, we were done for. This has been a Twitter Monday morning staple for over two years. You can't help but love Cheryl Hole. Here's to hoping that she narrates this entire season!

11. Lemon's Verse on "Not Sorry Aboot It"

World of Wonder/ youtube.com

One of Lemon's best moments on the show was her rap verse on "Not Sorry Aboot It." She says, "Ain't no queen rap it back like I do," and she's literally right. Something about her bitter and sassy voice makes her punch lines hit hard. Lemon, if Episode 1 is a talent show, you know what to do.

12. Jimbo's Snatch Game

World of Wonder

Jimbo's Snatch Game performance goes down as one of the best in herstory. "Smell my fingers?" COME ON. Jimbo won this episode with ease and proved that she's a smart queen with a quick wit. There will no doubt be some comedy challenges on UK Versus the World, and I can't wait to see what tricks she has up her sleeve.

13. Mo Heart Describing a Chocolate Bar

VH1/ World of Wondert/ youtube.com

This is Mo's third time in the race. She brings beauty and charm, and was famously robbed for her queen of hearts look in Season 10. A Mo Moment that sticks out to me is her chocolate bar mini-challenge. I could literally listen to her say succulent and decadent all day long. Mo made it all the way to the finale in All Stars 4, but could this be her season to snatch the crown?

14. Blu Hydrangea on the Runway

BBC/ World of Wonder

Blu was the first Northern Irish queen to compete on the show, and is known for her makeup skills. Her creativity is undeniable, and she brought it to the runway every week on Drag Race UK Season 1. Her eyeball runway in particular (Episode 4, "Snatch Game") was exceptional. I can't wait to see what looks she'll turn to take on the world.

15. Lemyanka Owned 2020

Lemon ate up the competition on Drag Race Canada's first season. But her most iconic moment doesn't even come from Drag Race — it's her verse on Priyanka's song that went viral in 2021, "Come Through." All the gays know this verse, and if you don't, it's time to get with the program. I can assure you that 2022 is all about big BFF necklace and VIP guest list energy.

16. Baga Chipz Loofah Runway

BBC/ World of Wonder

OK... NO shade here. I actually love this runway so much. I think about it a lot. Baga's choice to design a look entirely out of Brillo pads is high camp. I actually want to try it on. Sometimes on All Stars there is a 'rudemption' runway in which the queens are able to redeem one of their looks from a previous season. I can only hope Baga would just wear this again to mess with Ru and Michelle.

17. Jujubee's Snatch Game

World of Wonder/ VH1/ youtube.com

How many times could I watch this Snatch Game? A sensible 74. How many times have I used that reference already? A sensible 74. And I'll keep going. Jujubee killed the Snatch Game on All Stars 4 with her Eartha Kitt impersonation. Is there anything she can't do?
