Lana is remembered for serving iconic looks the few chances she got on season 7. After serving an underwhelming poetry reading in the premiere episode talent show, we sadly saw Lana sashay away before she could really get started. Will we one day see her grace the All Stars stage?

When the queens were tasked with creating a scene for The Young and the Draggless, Xtina rocketed to the bottom after receiving a Boot+ score for her writing abilities. Xtina received an invisible edit, failing to stand out before ultimately sashaying away.

Exit Line & Mirror Message:

"I may not have won this battle, but this diva will always keep fighting. Remember, it's not about the notes you hit, it's about the emotion you bring. Stay true to yourselves, my queens.

Season 7's roast of RuPaul had a few "boot" scores, but none flopped more than P!nk. While P!nk had the worst runway scores of the season, she is remembered for her great performances early on.

Exit Line & Mirror Message:

"Remember, life's too short to be vanilla, be punk rock!"

Rock your truth, embrace your uniqueness, and never let anyone dull your sparkle. Remember, it's all about love, laughter, and a little bit of rock n roll! Stay fierce, ladies. Pink out!

Katy is known for her strong runways despite the fact that she never placed above high. Katy's snatch game performance as Ellen DeGeneres landed her in the bottom 2.

Exit Line & Mirror Message:

"I kissed a girl, and I liked it, but I kissed this competition goodbye and I loved it even more. Keep roaring, ladies!"

Stay sweet as cherry pie and always let your colors burst! 🍒🎆 Love, Katy.

Shakira is the ultimate flopstar, landing in the bottom four out of six episodes, and achieving only one safe placement. Shakria is also the ultimate lipsync assassin, as she was told she won her final lipsync against Rihanna. Shakira, faced with incessant floppage, chose to self-eliminate and went out in style.

Exit Line & Mirror Message:

"Remember, don't fear the rhythm, let it move you."

Be the beat, feel the heat, and don't forget to shake your hips! Much love, Shakira.

Mariah's momentum in the competition crashed and burned, resulting in her elimination during the Toy Box Ball. She was well liked by her castmates, as both Britney and Kylie previously saved her from the bottom. She is remembered for her shade, most of all.

Exit Line & Mirror Message:

"Darlings, remember, it's not about the number of times you fall, but about the diva moments you create along the way."

To all my beautiful butterflies, never stop spreading your wings. M.C.

Britney is rememebered for winning both snatch game and the reading challenge, but these victories were not enough to save her when the bottomed during the makeover challenge. Britney made-over Lana Del Rey, but she failed to reproduce her own iconic look on her assigned diva.

Exit Line & Mirror Message:

"It's Britney, bitch, and Britney's gonna keep on dancing till the world ends."

Don't hold it against me. Keep fighting and dancing. It's Britney, bitch! XO

Rihanna showed promise on season 7, picking up an early win when partnered with Madonna. Unfortunately, her momentum expired after losing a lipsync with Shakira, almost tasting elimination. Rihanna was paired against Kylie Minogue to redo "The Magic of Drag" challenge from S01E04, and ultimately ended up in the bottom.

Exit Line & Mirror Message:

"You may have won this battle, but never forget, I'm still a bad gal, and my reign has only just begun."

Madonna had a promising start during the first half of the season, and early on, she seemed as if she'd be a finalist. She faltered during the second half, and she found herself up for elimination after her "Material Mistress" failed to impress during the superhero challenge.

Exit Line & Mirror Message:

"In the immortal words of me, 'I'm not your bitch, don't hang your shit on me.' And remember, darlings, you might have knocked the queen off her throne, but I'll always be the Material Girl."

Kylie had a stunning run this season, and her elimination was quite controversial. Kylie was eliminated after she failed to win the final round of the LalaPaRuZa. The "bottom 3" format of this season caused her to be up for elimination, and the winner of the challenge, Beyonce, chose to save Taylor Swift in an attempt to be strategic. Many wonder if Kylie was not eliminated here if she may have gone on to win the season.

Exit Line & Mirror Message:

"Remember, it's never over 'til the diva takes her final bow!"

Shine bright, be fierce, and always remember the heart of a queen beats within you. Love, Kylie.

Taylor was a polarizing figure this season. Despite picking up two wins, her five bottom placements and underwhelming runway package left many feeling the top 3 was less than competitive. She is the biggest beneficiary of this season's new twist, having been saved a whopping four times. Near the end, both finalists saved her strategically, leading to the elimination of high profile competitors like Madonna and Kylie Minogue. Despite the drama, Taylor left her mark with a few iconic challenge performances, and this season wouldn't be the same without her presence.

Exit Line & Mirror Message:

"May your melodies be sweet, your chords resonate, and your lyrics tell your story. Never let the stage define you; define the stage!"

Stay true to your tune, play your own rhythm, and sing from the heart. Love, T.

Beyonce left her mark on the RPFDR world this season with a stunning 4 wins and 5 high placements. Her relative PPE of 3.46 was the highest of the season. Going into the finale, it was anyone's game. Even in the finale performance, Beyonce continued to bring excellence. In the end, however, she was bested by Gaga's formidable performance edge.

Gaga's iconic run is characterized by her strong beginning, dotting several high placements in the middle of the season before punctuating it with a final third win. The last few weeks of the competition saw Gaga in the bottom, leaving fans to question if she would really snatch the crown. Gaga's impeccable CPE & RPE scores, along with her engimatic performances saw her besting her runner-up's undeniable polish.
