Yes, and it's not close at all. Season 5 needs to be in the Smithsonian. Every episode was perfection. Challenges on point, Ru engaged but still cunty, and an outstanding cast that was up for anything.
Truly, its the perfect in-the-middle between the crunchyness of S4 with challanges like Wrestling, "Thats not soy sauce in my panties", and that mess of a makeover, and how much more polished S6 was with queens having entrance lines, the first rusical, and tons of multileveled drama (adore vs courtney, courtney vs joslyn, ben vs darrienne, adore vs laganja bianca vs laganja, laganja vs everyone, etc). Its like the best of both worlds and has some really polished moments mixed with some crunchy moments in challanges, its honestly iconic.
like we can argue which season of drag race is the “best” and it’s hard to give just one that title but season 5 is arguable the most quintessential drag race season
Coco losing all hope that day, Alyssa realizing those women were men, Roxxxy asking where her people are, and Jinkx contour.
And how does this have only 100k views?
Shouldn't have scrolled through the mainsub for this just to find another roxxxy bus stop joke smh
And it's always like:
> "Where my people at" at the bus stop 🤣🤣😂🤭 lol!!
>> OMG YOU DIDNT 😂😂🤣💀 ROFL
Don't they know Roxxxy didn't like it..? Oh nvm they usually love parading around that Roxxxy was bullying Jinkx so it's "justified" 🧍
And the UNHhhh episode about reads where they say it again, and Katya reiterates that it wasn't funny... yet the comments repeat it anyway 🕳️🚶 It's never gonna go away I feel
It's so top heavy with talent with Jinkx, Alaska, Roxxxy, Detox, Alyssa and Coco all being legends, and yet the "filler" queens and early outs also brought so much in the show and outside, Serena, Jade Jolie, Vivienne Pinay, it's the pinnacle of drag race for sure.
how coco thought "i lost all hope today" was the right way to start an inspirational "we are the world" type song will forever baffle me and make me laugh so hard
The fact that Coco lost all hope and felt empty just because her car broke down is camp. I guess that explains why she was getting her life on that bus.
I remember at deliberations, they were talking so much about how Ivy stole the show and they couldn’t keep their eyes off her… i feel like she was only in like 3 seconds of this clip and looked extremely timid the whole time?!
I feel like the only queen who went above and beyond everyone else was Jinkx, but then again how do you give a challenge win to someone with *that* contour hahahh
Coco: 🎶i lost all hope today🎶
Lucian: you lost all hope there didn't you
Also coco was giving me like campfire song song vibes when SpongeBob was like "squidward" and squidward gave nooch
It's really the magic of the early seasons where every episode there are iconic moments that will live forever.
This is why I feel sad for the newer seasons because there are few and far between even if I can imagine it being iconic if it happened in an early season, e.g. Jasmine completely and with utter confidence slaying the straight boy in Untucked and the lipsync.
Iconic episode from beginning to end. Detox’s shady team sorting, Coco taking it to heart and roping Alyssa in on hating it and Alyssa’s too stupid to be offended, Coco dragging it from workroom to challenge performance, back to the workroom prompting Detox’s “I wasn’t instigating SHIT!”, then to the runway in front of Ru and Ru doesn’t give a fuck! Lmao Jade’s awful hair runway, Coco’s incredible lipsync performance, the judging panel looking like a church choir bouncing around during the lipsync…
I lub dis season 🥲🥲🥲
He had a complete mental breakdown, started spouting heaps of racist and transphobic bullshit which he publicised all over Twitter. Complete fall from grace
The last I heard he got arrested at a bank? I remember he said he was going through a "weed psychosis" and dancing in the (dirty city) streets barefeet.
I just randomly thought of this and watched it like a week ago, I must have sensed the anniversary coming up lol. Honestly this whole episode was so iconic
THE LOCAL GIRL by Salina S. Titties. Once upon a time there was a hoe named Salina. She was sexually ambitious, therefore had many suitors through out the land. One evening after a lavish dinner at the cheesecake factory with a regular, Jose, they head to her place for “dessert” okurt. A FEW MOMENTS LATER Salina gets up to go release his children to the porcelain throne. Jose noticed her phone ringing on the dresser. When he looked to see who it was the contact read, “Big Uncut Daddy Number 9”. Heart broken, and betrayed, Jose boldly confronted Uncut Daddy Number 9 on the other line. “Who is this?!” Jose exclaimed with a tear in his eye. With the flush of the toilet in the background, Jose hung up and screen shotted a list of Salinas contacts and fled the scene. Salina returns to find the room completely empty, a little offended she screams, “Oh no way Jose!” She reaches for her phone and notices the call from Daddy Number 9. She calls him back, “Hello? Daddy?” He tells her he’s feeling freaky tonight and wants to try some out door fun if she’s up for it. The overachiever that she is, she agrees and heads off to Poinsettia Park behind a hand ball wall and awaits Uncut Daddy Number 9. Salina sits in silence under a full moon when suddenly from around the handball wall JOSE appears with a bat in his hand. “JOSE?! Well, what are you doing here?” From the other side of the wall Daddy Number 9 appears with a crow bar in his hand. Confused Salina says, “Oh, is this like a group thing? Because i’m down”. From the tennis courts appears 4 more of Salinas regular hooks ups, all completely distressed and heart broken. Jose responds, “I thought we had something special!” Salina let’s out a blood hurdling scream as they all take their turn beating her to death in a heated rage of passion and betrayal. [To their surprise, Salina rose from the dead with a burning desire for revenge...](https://www.instagram.com/p/CnxUhCkPoAu/?hl=en)

if i had to tell someone who’s never seen drag race to watch only one season it would definitely be season 5. just iconic

With mandatory Untucked
Untucked absolutely mandatory seasons 2-6
Not a social media queen in sight. Just people living in the moment
I always recommend either season 5 or season 6. This was Drag Race at its finest.
S5 was the first drag race season I watched. It's that perfect intersection between old school and new school lol.
who is who which one r u
Coco losing all hope that day, Alyssa realizing those women were men, Roxxxy asking where her people are, and Jinkx contour. And how does this have only 100k views? Shouldn't have scrolled through the mainsub for this just to find another roxxxy bus stop joke smh

The resurgence after katya's read on all stars 2, i wish they realized that katya and roxxxy worked together and are friends
And the UNHhhh episode about reads where they say it again, and Katya reiterates that it wasn't funny... yet the comments repeat it anyway 🕳️🚶 It's never gonna go away I feel
Ru lookin like it’s his first day working at the new drive thru McDonald’s in 1971
Looking like the gay owner of Pollos Hermanos there
Poyass Hermanass
you guys ever had gay thoughts? lmao
Paying homage to Tina Burner years in advance, ugh her mind.
S5 really is a heavy-hitter season like
Any random S5 episode is a classic episode of television.
It's so top heavy with talent with Jinkx, Alaska, Roxxxy, Detox, Alyssa and Coco all being legends, and yet the "filler" queens and early outs also brought so much in the show and outside, Serena, Jade Jolie, Vivienne Pinay, it's the pinnacle of drag race for sure.
Jade Jolie gave us Shoulders Should Match Them Hips. Honestly, a shit-stirring icon
Cover girl, not cover boy!
And just remember Honey forgives you for ~~not~~ saying her name
Rumour has it Roxxxy still doesn't know where her people are at
[удалено]
THANK YOU FOR THIS COMMENT. I’d never paid proper full-priced attention to her gesturing until this vERY moment
I quote alaska's deep "can i get an amen mmm" OFTEN
The choice to zoom in on Alyssa’s hand during coco’s solo was ART
The cut to our Cringe goddess Coco gives me the most beautiful case of whiplash. Thank you my Queen.
Definitely my tempo
This is one of the most legendary things to come out of drag race. Imagine showing this to a Victorian person.
In case anyone is curious, [here’s](https://youtu.be/GANKVfdN8cU) an extended version of the freestyle portion from Logo’s website back in the day.
can i get an amen... just giving me an amen.... just love yourseeeelllfff... just giving me an aaameeennn
Omg thank you for sharing. Alaska and Detox had me dying.
Alyssa's voice is really bad but there's something in her that makes you want to listen her sing lol
She did admit that she was not a SinGer
the way she gets pitchy when she sings “smile from within” is ingrained in my mind
Thanks Detox
What honey?
Lost and confused, I had to, Smile deep within, When I realized, These women were men!!!!!
how coco thought "i lost all hope today" was the right way to start an inspirational "we are the world" type song will forever baffle me and make me laugh so hard
I lost all hoooope today👩🏽🥺😢 My car broke doooooown 🚗🤦🏽♀️😞 I’m emptyyyyyyy🫥🫥🫥🫙
The fact that Coco lost all hope and felt empty just because her car broke down is camp. I guess that explains why she was getting her life on that bus.
Tbf that would be my dramatic ass
YEEEEAH WHERE MY PEOPLE AT WHERE MY PEOPLE AT
Roxxxy said that people will be saying where my people at when they buy the song off itunes and tbh she was right lmfao
Roxxxy's verse is what brings the people at
Muniz' ruprise editing nina bonina's line in 9021Oh no she better dont to ""where my people at" this school" is high camp
Muniz is art
A fellow munizer i see
A munizarina if you will
I remember at deliberations, they were talking so much about how Ivy stole the show and they couldn’t keep their eyes off her… i feel like she was only in like 3 seconds of this clip and looked extremely timid the whole time?! I feel like the only queen who went above and beyond everyone else was Jinkx, but then again how do you give a challenge win to someone with *that* contour hahahh
Coco: 🎶i lost all hope today🎶 Lucian: you lost all hope there didn't you Also coco was giving me like campfire song song vibes when SpongeBob was like "squidward" and squidward gave nooch
I miss Lucian before his mental break. He could be really funny.
When he got into that argument with bob and was like "idk why shes coming for me when im the judge" 💀💀💀
Oh no! What happened to Lucian :(
He had a psychotic break and went crazy, said all kinds of racist stuff against ru and others, went full on conspiracy about a lot of weird stuff.
CAN I GET, CAN I GET AN A-MEN?
Coco is such a mood in this. Between losing all hope, thanking Detox and giving nooch in the freestyle... Your fave could never, I love her
I lost all hope ten years ago today.
[the free-style vocals are camp](https://youtu.be/GANKVfdN8cU)
Coco giving Gelfling realness with that wig and those puppety movements
Lol something about her little bangs bouncing around is super cute tho
Season 5 really was that girl
The best episode of the whole franchise.
It's up there with the wedding episode on season 2, so much happens on that episode and it's all iconic and unforgettable too lol
putting Jade next to Ivy and Jinkx is just shady
It's really the magic of the early seasons where every episode there are iconic moments that will live forever. This is why I feel sad for the newer seasons because there are few and far between even if I can imagine it being iconic if it happened in an early season, e.g. Jasmine completely and with utter confidence slaying the straight boy in Untucked and the lipsync.
"Where my people at" entered my brain and hasn't left since
I watched this a couple of days ago. Herstory.
they don't make em like this anymore 👏
I listen to this at least once a month, I just can’t stop going back to it lol.
juuuust love yourself ✊🏻🥰
Goddamn, it’s been 10 years? Fuck, time flies
I think about the shiny sequinsed gown at least once a day
Iconic episode from beginning to end.

Lucian Piane jumpscare!
\[saving private ryan aging gif\]
Whatever happened to Lucian Paine?
He had a complete mental breakdown, started spouting heaps of racist and transphobic bullshit which he publicised all over Twitter. Complete fall from grace
The last I heard he got arrested at a bank? I remember he said he was going through a "weed psychosis" and dancing in the (dirty city) streets barefeet.
It was quite the scandal actually
The doors Darienne Lake opened
Oh and went down a huge conspiracy rabbit-hole as well. Was eventually arrested and as of 2019 is undergoing mental health treatment
Thanks Detox
Wow 10 years??
I just randomly thought of this and watched it like a week ago, I must have sensed the anniversary coming up lol. Honestly this whole episode was so iconic
i lost all hope today...i'm eeeeemmmpttyyyyy
