I love that moment at 4:45 where Alyssa Edwards checks on Adore. She stops immediately talking as soon as she sees Adore is in pain. Really shows her love for her fellow queens.
Agreed, that was actually really sweet on her part. Stops her rant after just a glance in the mirror at Adore’s face. Shows she can not only read bitches , but also read feelings
Alyssa and Tabitha did lose their r Mom 😢😢 really shows a different side to the dancing queen. Bless her. Xoxo Sharon needles and Dusty are relatable because of their upbringing and hell at school they went through then poor Dusty was freaking exorcised and forced to pray the gay away... My heart goes out to all those beautiful Queens with horrid pasts and family abuse. Its awful that parents don't accept so many people just for their choice of lifestyle and sexual preference. Love and support your children no matter what. ❤️💜❤️
Alyssa Edwards is my favorite queen. She is sassy, fierce, can be mean but she literally has a heart of gold. Alyssa lost her mother who supported her through everything. And if you’ve seen Alyssa’s show on Netflix you get even more of how beautiful she is as a person, as a performer, as a teacher, as a family. It’s amazing. Alyssa Edwards is amazing.
@@jessica23claire In a weird way, it was really cathartic for me. It made me sad but also made me feel better because she reminds me of myself in how she deals with stress and mental health.
Straight up made me cry. I can’t imagine going through something as humiliating as conversion therapy and being exorcised because I had a “Gay Demon” in me. 😞
@@LittleMissZackyVee when the shooting happened, I was still in the closet and it hurt me deeply, it was refreshing to see their perspective on what happened. I completely forgot Katya was affected by the shooting
what about detox's opening up about the passing of her boyfriend during the crying challenge in season 5..... gurl that was the realest and most emotional things I've ever seen on drag race.
@@lemonade507 really? That’s really your first response to this......... if you haven’t seen the episode, then you’ve got no business getting up in here asking if somebody is drunk because they make a factual comment about it.
Whoever believes that Blair only told the story to "save" herself is completely ignorant. Firstly, Ross' comments about her look and how "sweet" she is every week made her speak up, and second, she didn't even know for sure she was going to be in the bottom two. For all she knew, she could've been the last one to be 'save'. So can we please cut Blair some slack and be thankful that she spoke up and brought more awareness to the issue of sexual assault/violence.
People said the same thing about Roxxxy, saying how she only brought up the story to save herself but in reality it was only brought up after Ru insisted she speak up as to why she was crying. And she wasn't crying randomly, it was brought up backstage before the lipsync and I guess emotions got the best of her after the lip sync. Blaire probably had a similar senario with how it came to light with her story. Not everyone is a Robbie Turner folks.
@@matthewbalderama1208 That was really fucking shitty of Bianca. I lost so much respect for her after that. While I get that having a "rolodex of hate" is her thing, there are some lines you simply don't cross.
Can't blame you for thinking Detox's story about finding her ex after his suicide and admitting how uncomfortable it made her to see everyone play sad for a mini challenge was too real for the show AND this list (seems to me not even the producers were expecting it). Hell, it wrecks me every time I watch it.
I think you can really see the teacher come out in Alyssa when she *immediately* picks up on Adore's feelings and stops dead in the middle of what she's saying to check on her. :)
It probably would have but since they said in the beginning they wouldn't be including eliminations and she when home after that lipsync they might have chosen not to add it. But I agree it was really emotional. I felt so bad for her.
I don't ever wanna see Katya crying again, rewatching this is so painful. I need her to know how special and beautiful she really is. I want her to be happy and in peace all the time. I love her so much.
Nope, she wasnt. If you follow her on social media you can clearly see she has huge ups and downs. She is a beautiful soul with lot of dark spots. She is the most complicated personality in whole RPDR in my opinion.
why on earth did you even put Pearl on this list? and you didn't put the talk Monique and Dusty had on how crazy religious they grew up. Dusty even said that his family sent him to gay conversion. that should have been on the list. not Pearl.
Because it was more real than anything else on this list. It wasn't orchestrated by the producers, Pearl herself was upset and pissed off with Ru for something that happened offscreen and she didn't give many fucks anymore. A lot of these emotional stories, although as true as they are, they seem to be stirred up by the producers and Ru herself. It's almost like trauma porn instead of a genuine confession, it's uncomfortable to watch. I like when something actually real happens in a reality show.
@@israeldmo That’s actually a good point. Most of these moments are orchestrated and the queens themselves probably know beforehand that they’ll have to talk about these things because the producers prod em with questions. The way the Werk Room conversations play out is very unnatural in how normal conversations go and how people open up. But they’re probably behind the camera like “Hey, ask Trinity about Pulse…” and hopefully someone will cry. Funny thing about Pearl is that you can totally tell they tried to pull a trauma moment out of her several times throughout the season-especially on the runway where they ask her to talk to her younger self. But she came out on her own terms. She recently posted a video about stuff that happened when she was younger.
Also Pearl has a troubled past herself, she shows herself in Ru paul as a strong character that doesn’t give a shit but in real life she had a lot of issues... just go check her youtube channel and you’ll see
Netflix, the older seasons like 1-3 are really good with strong competitors and funny challenges as well as iconic moments but are not too necessary for the rest of the show . 4-6 are great seasons amd absolutely necessary, filled with stuff referenced in later seasons ,great challenges and the most popular queens .7 and 8 , people don't really like them as much for being 'boring ' but I love them.9 is such a great mix of queens ,beauty art talent and comedy ' many iconic moments for the show too , season 10 is where the fan base got toxic tbh , with lots.of fights with the queens and ALL THE DRAMA OH MY GOD the unprofessionalism ,but I do love alot of the queens and challenges of this season.
I really don't think it's fair to say Katya wasn't thankful enough. Sure, in what we saw on the TV show, it may have seemed that way. But we have no idea what went on that was edited out, or what happened outside of the show that the two don't feel like making public.
@@itsizzymate7634 Of course. I dont know what really happened. The edition factor is always there. I judge what i see, but i dont take my own judgements seriously. Anyway, i miss the element of gratitude toward miss fame in the narrative that has been aired. Dont you?
Pandora Boxx (S2) admitting she attempted to kill herself when she was younger should of made this list. but i do see why it didn't . too sensitive of subject i believe
This list is cool but some moments are missing: bob's story about her mother, yara's breakdown, juju and raven's lipsync,dusty opening out about her coming out, the season 3 queens talking about their family members in the army.
That moment in season 3 got to me too, especially when Alexis was talking about how an ex of hers was also in the military, and she never properly got a chance to say goodbye to him
it just goes to show how much trauma is in the lgbtq+ community. we’re human too, and we’re here. as fabulous and bold and vibrant as we may seem, we go through so much just because of who we are. so please just show us love and respect when you can. compared to what we face every day, it means so much.
yeah and watching all the issues they opened about is so heartbreaking... I cried, this is too much to take at once ! There is still a lot of work people...
Hearing Roxxxy crying to this day brings me to tears. Hearing her pain with every breath makes my heart break. I just wanted to go through my TV to hold her.
The fact that all the queens and judges and RU HERSELF started crying or coming close to crying when Roxy was talking about the bus stop thing was so powerful
"Ongina admitted to having HIV." Maybe another word would be better suited, such as 'Disclosed' or 'Shared.' Admitted generally goes hand in hand with a committed act, and being HIV positive is not something to be guilty for, nor "admit" to.
We’ve all joked about how Alyssa doesn’t stop ranting for anyone, and when she’s looking in the mirror you can’t hold a conversation, so when she stopped and looked away immediately when Adore was upset you knew something was wrong.
I wish y'all had mentioned Dusty Ray Bottoms' experience with being sent to conversion therapy...there are a lot of LGBT kids that have been put through that and I thought it was moving and informative.
I couldn't stop crying when Thorgy talked about her mom because it was so similar to what happened with mine. Mom didn't tell me she was in kidney failure until two days before starting dialysis, and as it turned out, she didn't go on dialysis until she was told she would be dead in three weeks without it. For all anyone says keeping an illness a secret is good "to protect the children", you end up doing a lot more damage by hiding than by being open.
Same. I kinda feel that shit went down in season 8 and no one talks about it. Another one is chi chi talking about her when she was young. Like, it wasn’t that big and on stage but i felt that it should’ve been at least an honourable mention ☹️
I was holding it together until they got to Katya. Losing family members to addiction and just seein ppl closest to me go thru it really caused this clip to hit home for me. Then add to the fact that Katya is one of my all time faves it was jus too much all at once.
4:45 The most touching moment. I honestly loved Alyssa trying to comfort Adore, since I know it isn't always easy. She seemed so concerned and I was so sad to hear Adore say, ”Uhuh” when she really wasn't
I loove Alyssa checking on Adore. Like just seeing a friend in a bad way out of the corner of your eye and going into that panic-mother mode. Always down for taking care of others
I think Dusty's experience should be on this over Laganja or Pearl... Dusty's experience made my heart throb. Also, maybe even Asia sticking up for the Vixen at the reunion because I honestly started crying watching that. It was so real.
tubechiq88 True but Laganja’s meltdown actually went on for longer and worse than what was shown. Courtney got worried and refused to film until someone got her help. People love to rip on Laganja for that moment but clearly she was very distressed and it’s sad.
I honestly cried when I watched the clip with Roxy. I don’t know many openly gay or transgender people, so a lot of the time I couldn’t understand let alone empathize what they go through. But Roxy talking about growing up neglected and putting on a strong front struck a chord with me.
I'm sorry but to me the discussion about Pulse shooting speaks the loudest, it really is a defining moment for us LGBTI people, way more universal and unifying and "real" than feeling attacked or being abandoned or fighting addiction. That moment gets me in tears still today. Blair's confession is as close though, I was afraid you were not gonna mention it, happy to see it so high in this list!
A good real moment for pearl would have been when RuPaul said to her, “unless the camera is rolling, none of what you say matters”, after pearl professed her huge admiration for Ru, which was really the prologue to the staredown.
Remember your brother and sister who gave their lives for just trying to to live their best lives. Pulse will never be drown by hate, ignorance and malice.
This is the RPDR we miss and fell in love with. Not the manufactured drama and shock factor nonsense. Heartfelt truths, people being a beacon for others with their struggles - addiction, mental health, HIV, trans, racism, weight, & more. Let's drop these villain edits and OMG shocks (that are more irritating than shocking) and get back to this kind of Drag Race. I teared up remembering the conversation about Pulse from this. That was moving.
Blair's story had me and my mom SOBBING when we heard it. We're both advocates of domestic violence and sexual assault, and we were in tears over the stories that we heard.
Ikr. She is one of the funniest, most positive person I have seen in tevision, and in this competition too. Knowing that inside her lies such a stormy turmoil is really sad. I love Katya so much. And Shangela and Manila luzon too.
I love when you cry with someone and then you two make each other laugh before you part. It's the only way to have a true emotional conversation and connection
As someone who lost their mother, Alyssa handled her trauma in a similar way I had handled mine. Its an incredibly hard thing to go through, but i'm lucky that i met so many people to help me through it. Shoutout to my fellow dead mom club kids. we got this
I think we all know that Rupaul wanted some juicy childhood drama stories out of Pearl, to make "god tv", and he was pissed that Pearl wasnt playing ball. I always admired Pearl for that.
It's good 2 see them with their guards down showing emotion and realness behind the mask they wear. Very touching episode I love all of them especially Rupaul
I love that this show is a platform that these queens feel comfortable talking about their personal life and struggles. THAT is the definition of “Keeping it real”!
“ adore are you okay” I love a queen who doesn’t ignore it and helps him even though he was mid talking and he saw adore crying and he asked it without doubt so sweet
When I was watching season 5 on TV, I almost cried when Roxxxy said that she and her sister were abandoned at a bus stop as children. I just think the fandom is ridiculous to think that after Katya makes a joke out of it, the whole fandom thinks they can keep making funny jokes about a traumatic event from her childhood. That's not cool! If I were Roxxxy I would be uncomfortable seeing people making jokes about it in almost any video that she is mentioned.
I love that moment at 4:45 where Alyssa Edwards checks on Adore. She stops immediately talking as soon as she sees Adore is in pain. Really shows her love for her fellow queens.
Alyssa is amazing
It shows that she is a good freaking person
Purest Mother Instincts

And that is why I love Alyssa. She truly cares about her sisters
Alyssa Edwards: *Ranting*
Adore: *Suffering*
Alyssa: *Stops dead in her tracks* Are you okay?
Me: *Shocked, suprised, and satisfied*
Agreed, that was actually really sweet on her part. Stops her rant after just a glance in the mirror at Adore’s face. Shows she can not only read bitches , but also read feelings

Seeing Katya being so vulnerable is heartbreaking because she’s always so funny and laughs all the time. That’s her way to hide anxiety.

When msmojo makes a vid on rpdr I’m always watching it and on the number 1 I’m watching it
I know it wasn't on the list but did anyone else get really sad when Thorgy was talking about her mom?
I get sad when Thorgy talks at all 😲
I couldn't stop crying when Thorgy talked about her mom because it was so similar to what happened with mine. Mom didn't tell me she was in kidney failure until two days before starting dialysis, and as it turned out, she didn't go on dialysis until she was told she would be dead in three weeks without it. For all anyone says keeping an illness a secret is good "to protect the children", you end up doing a lot more damage by hiding than by being open.
Same. I kinda feel that shit went down in season 8 and no one talks about it. Another one is chi chi talking about her when she was young. Like, it wasn’t that big and on stage but i felt that it should’ve been at least an honourable mention ☹️
I was holding it together until they got to Katya. Losing family members to addiction and just seein ppl closest to me go thru it really caused this clip to hit home for me. Then add to the fact that Katya is one of my all time faves it was jus too much all at once.
4:45 The most touching moment. I honestly loved Alyssa trying to comfort Adore, since I know it isn't always easy. She seemed so concerned and I was so sad to hear Adore say, ”Uhuh” when she really wasn't
I loove Alyssa checking on Adore. Like just seeing a friend in a bad way out of the corner of your eye and going into that panic-mother mode. Always down for taking care of others
I think Dusty's experience should be on this over Laganja or Pearl... Dusty's experience made my heart throb. Also, maybe even Asia sticking up for the Vixen at the reunion because I honestly started crying watching that. It was so real.
season 9 was one of the most emotional seasons. they had some of the realist queens and it was just a good season too.
I can't help but tear up every single time I see the Katya clip...
We must protect our precious Blair at all costs 😇
Would love more RPDR lists ❤💙💛💜💚
You know it! We have a bunch in the works ;) Anything in particular you'd like to see?
@@MsMojo robbed Queens would be a fantastic list 💚💜💛💙❤
@@MsMojo top 10 fights part 2
Season 9 really is RuPaul’s Best Group Therapy.
This is a great list but kind of a weird order lol
I agree. I would think the pulse shooting discussion would take more precedence over laganga's freak out.
tubechiq88 True but Laganja’s meltdown actually went on for longer and worse than what was shown. Courtney got worried and refused to film until someone got her help. People love to rip on Laganja for that moment but clearly she was very distressed and it’s sad.
I mean, in their defence, it doesn’t say ‘top’ in the title but idk
@@gaygranola Right.
@@tubechiq88 literally
My heart dropped to my ass and shattered into a million pieces when Adore left.
Season 9 was 'Rupaul's Therapy Race' and the constant education and enlightenment each week is why it's one of the best seasons of this whole show!
Why youdidn't mention Yara's breakdown at the lipsync against Alexis Mateo? THAT WAS HEARTBREAKING
I honestly cried when I watched the clip with Roxy. I don’t know many openly gay or transgender people, so a lot of the time I couldn’t understand let alone empathize what they go through. But Roxy talking about growing up neglected and putting on a strong front struck a chord with me.
I'm sorry but to me the discussion about Pulse shooting speaks the loudest, it really is a defining moment for us LGBTI people, way more universal and unifying and "real" than feeling attacked or being abandoned or fighting addiction. That moment gets me in tears still today.
Blair's confession is as close though, I was afraid you were not gonna mention it, happy to see it so high in this list!
A good real moment for pearl would have been when RuPaul said to her, “unless the camera is rolling, none of what you say matters”, after pearl professed her huge admiration for Ru, which was really the prologue to the staredown.
Definitely need a part 2 for this. I can think of so many more to go into this list.
for me, the saddest moment is in all stars 4, when manila talks about Sahara 💔
An Mars what episode?
I think the Nina West's story on how she was assaulted because of her sexuality during her college years was the most devastated story I've seen
There were so many heartbreaking stories that should have made the list instead of adore wanting to leave and pearl.
"I don't even apologize to my own children."
Excuse me?
“Is ThErE sOmEtHiNg On My FaCe??”
I want to hug Blair right now....and I'm *LITERALLY* Shaking while typing this you're a strong person! and you just made me shed tears right now
Remember your brother and sister who gave their lives for just trying to to live their best lives. Pulse will never be drown by hate, ignorance and malice.
“I urge to find daintiness because i feel dirty at times”
that hurts 💔
Alyssa: a loving supportive unproblematic underrated QUEEN who dropped everything when adore was in pain
STAN ALYSSA
This is the RPDR we miss and fell in love with. Not the manufactured drama and shock factor nonsense. Heartfelt truths, people being a beacon for others with their struggles - addiction, mental health, HIV, trans, racism, weight, & more. Let's drop these villain edits and OMG shocks (that are more irritating than shocking) and get back to this kind of Drag Race. I teared up remembering the conversation about Pulse from this. That was moving.
Katya’s breakdown gets me every time. She is so fucking strong and I adore her
Blair's story had me and my mom SOBBING when we heard it. We're both advocates of domestic violence and sexual assault, and we were in tears over the stories that we heard.
the way katya pulled herself close to fame for a hug broke my heart she's been through so much that she needed that hug
Goddammit Katya's breakdown makes me cry everytime
Ikr. She is one of the funniest, most positive person I have seen in tevision, and in this competition too. Knowing that inside her lies such a stormy turmoil is really sad. I love Katya so much. And Shangela and Manila luzon too.
I love when you cry with someone and then you two make each other laugh before you part. It's the only way to have a true emotional conversation and connection
As someone who lost their mother, Alyssa handled her trauma in a similar way I had handled mine. Its an incredibly hard thing to go through, but i'm lucky that i met so many people to help me through it. Shoutout to my fellow dead mom club kids. we got this
I think we all know that Rupaul wanted some juicy childhood drama stories out of Pearl, to make "god tv", and he was pissed that Pearl wasnt playing ball.
I always admired Pearl for that.
You guys need to make a part two, there's so many times Drag Race has gotten way too real it can't all just be compiled into one list.
It's good 2 see them with their guards down showing emotion and realness behind the mask they wear. Very touching episode I love all of them especially Rupaul
Awe...seeing Alyssa crying breaks my heart. She's always so happy
This show is such an important show. EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH IT. These brave queens have been through so much. God bless!! Thank you mama Ru!!
#7 gets even more sad when you remember that Adore’s dad passed away around that same time
These heartfelt, genuine moments are a major reason why I continue to watch this show and love these queens as much as I do.
Roxxxy Andrews story is the most heartbreaking! Abandon as a child at a bus stop is devastating
I love that this show is a platform that these queens feel comfortable talking about their personal life and struggles. THAT is the definition of “Keeping it real”!
“ adore are you okay”
I love a queen who doesn’t ignore it and helps him even though he was mid talking and he saw adore crying and he asked it without doubt so sweet
Katya and Fame’s heart to heart was very genuine and such a loving moment
Blair's story goes much deeper she explains that it appeared and her childish behavior is due to the fact that she lost her innocence
Nothing real or emotional about Pearl.. If anything, she was rude
Yeah, that just seemed like clever editing
valentinas’ eating disorder hits hard, i relate to it so much. It meant so much for someone to talk about that on national television.
Just hearing Katya break down almost moved me to tears... I just love Katya so much!!
Adore is such a cutie and I love how Alyssa just stops talking immediately and checks on Adore. That‘s so sweet
cynthia and trinity talking about the pulse shooting made me cry and makes me cry whenever i watch it.
same with roxxy talking about being abandoned as a child.
Where’s my “ya yara no llores” (Alexis Mateo: don’t cry yara”)
12:33 I love how the queens are brave enough to open up about their experiences with bullying.
Blair story was really heartbreaking. I couldn't stop crying and sobbing during watching this episode.
Sasha talking about her mother broke my heart, thank u for sharing that!
When I was watching season 5 on TV, I almost cried when Roxxxy said that she and her sister were abandoned at a bus stop as children. I just think the fandom is ridiculous to think that after Katya makes a joke out of it, the whole fandom thinks they can keep making funny jokes about a traumatic event from her childhood. That's not cool! If I were Roxxxy I would be uncomfortable seeing people making jokes about it in almost any video that she is mentioned.
y'all really hit me in the heart during this video
