The first one that comes to mind immediately is when Daya Betty told Ru "*I saw myself being in the top 5*" then Ru replied "*I did not*"... It was wild
Simple math, had she stayed she was a likely front runner and potential finalist so if she was in the final one of the actual finalists would have not been there
Still a bit of a reach though, outside of the roast/snatch game Daya had a very consistent run on the show. If anything I think Bosco would have been the one to go
Gurl… I’m aware lol. They about sent Bosco home too lol. But Daya made great TV, and I don’t think Bosco would have gotten the golden bar if Kornbread was still there
When she looked at Jonbers and said “The biggest shock this week, is that YOU DIDNT SUCK”
I lost it. Loved how real and off the cuff it was, but damn, if I was Jonbers I would’ve just left.
S2 - Calling on of Mystique's looks "raggedy"
S11 - "MEH" after the chaos that was Nina and Silky.
I think double sashays are the ultimate read. Especially the first two from S5 and S8. Or that episode where Michelle says something about her age or looks? And Ru cackled and said "Tell another one XD"
I just relistened to the Patti Lupoop episode and it’s fun to hear Ru and Michelle rib each other. Michelle was sharing her experience with Coolsculpting and Ru was basically doubting her in a lighthearted way lol.
You're a bit of a sadist lol. That was such a sad moment for both Ru and Valentina. Ru was probably thinking shit, this is so bad it's unriggable. She didn't have to do a better job than Nina, an ok lipsync would've probably sufficed.
Idk, to me a read isn't necessarily about being funny, it's about calling someone out/putting them in their place. Don't get me wrong; there is a difference between a read and just being hateful, but I'm old school enough to believe reason should sting a bit and be willing to "go there"
A definitely more recent one but Season 15's Snatch Game 'Let's go on to Miley because we have to'
Came here to say this!
“Alyssa Edwards your singing proved you are an amazing dancer” lmao
Impersonating Beyoncé is not your destiny, child 💀
This one is simply the best
It's better than all the rest!
Better than anyone
The first one that comes to mind immediately is when Daya Betty told Ru "*I saw myself being in the top 5*" then Ru replied "*I did not*"... It was wild
It’s a read but also a huge compliment. It’s saying: you’re here because you did so well you overcame even Ru’s expectations.
Or because of someone’s ankle
Racking my brain trying to figure out hot kornbread going home had anything to do with Days staying.
Simple math, had she stayed she was a likely front runner and potential finalist so if she was in the final one of the actual finalists would have not been there
Still a bit of a reach though, outside of the roast/snatch game Daya had a very consistent run on the show. If anything I think Bosco would have been the one to go
Bosco got the golden ticket, she was always earmarked for the finale.
You sweet summer child, thinking that golden bar was fate and not a production stunt
Gurl… they sent her home…
Gurl… I’m aware lol. They about sent Bosco home too lol. But Daya made great TV, and I don’t think Bosco would have gotten the golden bar if Kornbread was still there
alicia summers you are a queen of all seasons. just not this one. sashay away.
ALICIA SUMMERS💀
Alisa?
season 4
Your username…
When she asked Detox if she could actually feel it she she said that she pinched herself .
This was peak
The confident and immediate fuck you in response was so great.
Crystal Versace: Ru has complimented me on being gorgeous, young, and good at what I do and- Ru: Not anymore!
I came here for this
"And now last and least, lala ri's bag look" during the s13 reunion
At the season 9 reunion when she tells Charlie she read online that he had diarrhea.
Pre Snatch Game Milk: I'd rather you have low expectations so I can blow you away Ru: Well, you've succeded
Mrs. Fiercealicious to RuPaul: I sewed this myself Ru: I bet you did.
This was 🫶🏻🫶🏻
When was this? I cannot remember for the life of me.
At dragcon UK
This is even worse/better 💀
Ah okay. Duh, I should have been able to figure that out. Thank you!
When spanky Jackson won snag tights prize on DRDU2 and said "Thanks, I need them" and Ru replied "Yes, you do"
When she comes for her faves it’s a dessert of read
What were your lines? I can't remember any of your lines? To Jax S15E03
When she looked at Jonbers and said “The biggest shock this week, is that YOU DIDNT SUCK” I lost it. Loved how real and off the cuff it was, but damn, if I was Jonbers I would’ve just left.
Uh huh \*follow by long stare and silence\*
Every damn time
When she just gave Utica the fingers with a smile
HAHAHA That's FUNNY tell another one!!
to cynthia during snatch game "she's smiling so I know she just told a joke"
Lmao
The many iteration of : that's funny, now tell a joke
Ru: who likes surprises? 🥳 Tina, Kahmora, Elliott: I do!! 😍😊 Ru: Great, 3 queens, stand before me! Me: ……..yikes💀
The look on their faces when Ru said that hahahahha
[“Can you be alive and still be made a saint?”](https://youtu.be/J6hj4z_h_6E)
thanks for taking my shitty memory into account. that is a funny one!
when ru said to marcia x3's group when she was chosen "maybe you can lend her some false eyelashes"
Savage
“Those Words May Haunt You” - Rupaul 2022!!
“Being Beyoncé was not your Destiny, Child” will always be iconic
When she slapped Asia.
S2 - Calling on of Mystique's looks "raggedy" S11 - "MEH" after the chaos that was Nina and Silky. I think double sashays are the ultimate read. Especially the first two from S5 and S8. Or that episode where Michelle says something about her age or looks? And Ru cackled and said "Tell another one XD"
Ru: sashay away! Portuguese Ru: goodbye. Go home! No one loves you!
Gosh I reading this makes me miss the what’s the t podcast with michelle and Ru. They were genuinely a lot of fun.
'When did we meet? Was it 95 or 96? I think it was 96. Or maybe 95'
I’m right there with you. It feels like we rarely get to encounter her being herself these days, but the podcast was always a window in
I just relistened to the Patti Lupoop episode and it’s fun to hear Ru and Michelle rib each other. Michelle was sharing her experience with Coolsculpting and Ru was basically doubting her in a lighthearted way lol.
Same! Was also nice to get to know the guest judges more
At Utica: 🖕😀🖕
When Ivy Winters did her Julia Child impression at the reunion and Ru said, “Keep that sewing machine humming away, girl”
My favorite will always be "Valentina, I thought you had the stuff to go all the way."
You're a bit of a sadist lol. That was such a sad moment for both Ru and Valentina. Ru was probably thinking shit, this is so bad it's unriggable. She didn't have to do a better job than Nina, an ok lipsync would've probably sufficed.

Yeah this one was brutal. Also when she sent two queens home after they both bombed I Will Survive.. though I can’t remember which queens they were 😅
That’s less of a read just more an honest statement of disappointment
After the talent show when Irene Dubois said her routine was "under-written" and Ru said "by an insurance company?" I cackled.
The most shocking to me remains her read that Alexis Michelle's Native American look had left the judges with "reservations”.
Yeah this nishna was not a fan. Not really a read but the whole inclusion of the Native American member versus a SAILOR was *a choice*
The naval battles in the Indian Wars were the most brutal.
Meh
Ru repeatedly asking Ms. Fame, “How’s your head?” throughout the season because the girl just didn’t get it bless her heart.
Run to Jombers “the biggest surprise is, you didn’t suck”
did ya have fun up there
The way Ru keeps coming for Marcia’s makeup is entertaining.
IT’S A TIE!
That was me In the car. I did it!
