RuPaul's Drag Race has proven over the years that winning is pretty great, but it isn't everything. Some of the most successful queens in the entire franchise haven't been crowned America's Next Drag Superstar, nor did they enter the Drag Race Hall of Fame. The series has even officially embraced "losing is the new winning!" as an official motto.
Nonetheless, it's always exciting to find out just how talented a Drag Race competitor is — to the point of succeeding in several challenges within the same season. This list celebrates the queens who made herstory by winning four maxi challenges in a single season of the flagship U.S. season, as well as two "honorable mentions" for going above and beyond and winning an astonishing total of five maxi challenges.
Discover which queens won four maxi challenges (or more!) within a single U.S. season of the franchise. RuPaul's Drag Race and RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars are both available for streaming on Paramount+.
