Who Will Win 'RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars' Season 9? Final Power Rankings

We're nearly done with RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 9 and eight of our favorite queens from seasons past are still battling for $200,000. Only this time, instead of taking home the prize themselves, they'll be competing for charity AND no one is going home. With the finale next week, however, it's crunch time for the queens. This week on Episode 11, no new Benefactress Badges were handed out, but we did learn a LOT about what will happen in the finale including that the final challenge winners each earning three badges, a Diamond Double power to double one queen's badge count is in play and that the finale will bring back the talent show.

Ru mentioned again this week that the three queens who collect the most badges will be vying for the crown in the season finale. He also reiterated that any of the remaining queens could still snatch the crown.

Which brings us to the question: Who will win Season 9 of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars ?

To that end, I've put together a ranking of the eight queens competing on this season, ordered from least likely to most likely to be inducted into the Drag Race Hall of Fame. It's a power ranking if you will, and while there are supposed spoilers on dark corners of the internet, I haven't read any of them. This ranking is also based on how likely the queen is to WIN the competition, not just go far, and takes into consideration everything that’s taken place so far.

Here is last week's ranking of Episode 10 if you'd like to see where we stood coming into this week.

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 9, Episode 11 Power Rankings

8. Nina West

Last Week's Placement: Eighth
Wins: 0
Benefactress Badges: 2

Having spent the entire season handwringing over who has the most badges, it really doesn't matter much at all. The questions that will determine the winner are: 1) can they win the talent show 2) will they be awarded the Double Diamond and 3) can they win the final lip sync for the crown? Unfortunately for Nina, I think the answer to questions 1 and 3 is "no." And while it looks like Nina could win the Double Diamond, that would only give her 4 badges, which won't be enough to get her into the final lip sync unless she wins the talent show. So unfortunately, I think Nina has her work cut out for her.

7. Vanessa Vanjie Mateo

Last Week's Placement: Seventh
Wins: 1
Benefactress Badges: 2

Miss Vanjie is still cooking. I think RuPaul wants Vanjie to be a success desperately, but even in the Tic Tac lunch this week, Ru was still giving Vanjie a pep talk. I don't think she's likely to crown Vanjie when she's felt a little half baked all season. That being said, Vanjie could easily turn out a stellar talent show performance and claw her way into the top three, so I think she's got more of a chance than Nina.

6. Gottmik

Last Week's Placement: Sixth
Wins: 2
Benefactress Badges: 2

Gottmik is the third queen who wouldn't automatically make the final lip sync if she won the Double Diamond. After a very strong start early on, Gottmik has struggled to break through for most of the season. I think she could potentially have a winning narrative though, especially if her guitar-playing talent show number is a smashing success (which it could be given its uniqueness). Its hard for me to see Gottmik beating out Roxxxy or Jorgeous in a final lip sync for the crown, but there is a possibility that the final three could pit Gottmik against the likes of Shannel or Plastique Tiara, who could be beaten. The chances are slim but it could happen.

5. Angeria Paris VanMichaels

Last Week's Placement: Third
Wins: 3
Benefactress Badges: 3

While Angeria has been a solid threat to win this whole season, the format of the finale seems uniquely ill suited for her. A "park and bark" talent show number feels like it will fall a bit flat given it will be up against Jorgeous bucking, Roxxxy stripping and Plastique using sabers. Plus Angeria has been a bit antagonistic all season with the other queens so I don't see them voting to give her the Double Diamond. I think Angeria might yet again be a runner up.

4. Plastique Tiara

Last Week's Placement: Fifth
Wins: 0
Benefactress Badges: 4

With four badges and Jorgeous already voting to give her the Double Diamond, Plastique could make the top three through that avenue. I also think it's very possible she wins the talent show as a sword swinging talent hasn't been seen before and you know Plastique isn't bringing something half assed or unpolished for such a pivotal challenge. Unfortunately the problem for Plastique has always been her lip syncing. I just cannot see a way that she wins that final lip sync.

3. Shannel

Last Week's Placement: Fourth
Wins: 1
Benefactress Badges: 3

Somehow Shannel has catapulted herself from dead last to a legitimate threat for the crown. The Vegas queen was spotted juggling in the Werk Room this week and I think there is a VERY STRONG chance she finishes in the top two of the talent show given that she'll be up against a lot of original song performances and her juggling runway has gone down in history as one of the most imaginative. She also made the top two in the LaLaPaRuZa so there's a good chance she'd win the final lip sync, especially if Roxxxy Andrews isn't in the top three for some reason.

2. Jorgeous

Last Week's Placement: Second
Wins: 1
Benefactress Badges: 4

With four badges, Jorgeous has performed well this season and a stunt-filled dance number at the talent show will certainly impress the judges. I'm imagining the second coming of her Rusical performance a few weeks back. That could push her into the top three and then the lip sync assassin is a major threat to win. If she can get to the top three without Roxxxy, Jorgeous would be the front runner for sure.

1. Roxxxy Andrews

Last Week's Placement: First
Wins: 4
Benefactress Badges: 5

With five badges and both Nina and Plastique already voting to give her the Double Diamond, Roxxxy will almost certainly make it to the top three. She'd need a queen with 3+ badges to win the Double Diamond and two other 3+ queens to take the top two spots in the talent show in order for her to be completely boxed out. Roxxxy, however, could end up winning the Double Diamond AND the talent show. Plus she's a 10-time undefeated lip sync assassin. I struggle to see her flubbing the final lip sync so badly that she wouldn't win the crown if she made it to the finals. Queen Andrews is coming.
