Who Will Win 'RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars' Season 9? Episode 7 Power Rankings

We're more than halfway done with RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 9 and eight of our favorite queens from seasons past are in the middle of a battle 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. This week on Episode 7, the queens acted with RuPaul in campy fight scenes inspired by classic films, with Angeria Paris VanMichaels and Nina West earning the top two spots.

In each episode, the queens will compete for Benefactress Badges with the three queens who collect the most badges vying for the crown in the season finale.

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 took place in the season's first three episodes.

Here is last week's ranking of Episode 6 if you'd like to see where we stood coming into this week.

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 9, Episode 7 Power Rankings

8. Shannel

Last Week's Placement: Eighth
Wins: 0
Benefactress Badges: 0
Not Cut Off

With only four weeks left to earn Benefactress Badges, unless RuPaul decides to hand out some extra badges or Shannel goes on a winning streak, she's out of the running for the crown. This week, after another middle-of-the-pack performance, Ru gave Shannel a bit of a pep talk, but with a fashion challenge next week, it seems unlikely that Shannel will turn around and grab a win. Hopefully she'll be able to earn plenty of coin on her subsequent tours though after her grand return.

7. Vanessa Vanjie Mateo

Last Week's Placement: Sixth
Wins: 1
Benefactress Badges: 2
Not Cut Off

While Miss Vanjie does have two badges, she was gifted one by Gottmik and aided to a second by Roxxxy Andrews in a team challenge. She's struggled to deliver anything aside from her winning personality this season, and Ru called her out this week for all of her shots in the dark. She also seems like a long-shot to win.

6. Jorgeous

Last Week's Placement: Fifth
Wins: 0
Benefactress Badges: 2
Not Cut Off

This has definitely been a redemption season for Jorgeous, who has performed consistently well throughout the season. However, it seems like her trajectory is one of redemption without a win. She's just not quite able to overtake the heavy hitters outside of dance/performance challenges. While it does seem likely we'll get at least one more of those, I think Jorgeous might have to settle for a whole pack of new fans rather than the crown.

5. Nina West

Last Week's Placement: Seventh
Wins: 0
Benefactress Badges: 2
Not Cut Off

Nina West won her second comedy challenge of the season and followed that up with her second lip sync loss. With a design challenge coming up next, it's highly unlikely she'll earn a third badge until at least Episode 9. Plus, her weak lip syncing makes it seem unlikely that she'd be able to snatch the crown unless she was going into the finale as an obvious front runner, which she isn't.

4. Gottmik

Last Week's Placement: Fourth
Wins: 2
Benefactress Badges: 2
Cut Off

WOOF. It's been a rough couple of weeks for Gottmik. After winning Episodes 2 and 3, she was then cut off in Episode 5, had a breakdown last week and then was cut off again this week by Angeria. Obviously Angeria sees Gottmik as a threat to snatch her spot in the finals, but this is an especially difficult blow given that what is most likely the season's final design challenge is next week and Gottmik won't be able to earn a badge there. However, she's only one badge away from being tied for first, and I have confidence in my girl.

3. Plastique Tiara

Last Week's Placement: Second
Wins: 0
Benefactress Badges: 3
Not Cut Off

Perhaps due to her math strategy, perhaps due to some sort of revenge narrative in Angeria's head, Plastique is miraculously not cut off going into Episode 8 and next week's sewing challenge. It will likely come down to her, Gottmik and Roxxxy competing for the top two spots, so Plastique could earn her fourth badge as early as next week with three weeks remaining. Also, if she wins a badge next week, she won't be cut off, which will mean the earliest anyone could slow her down would be Episode 10. Unfortunately for Plastique, her lip sync abilities have been repeatedly questioned as she's lost all three of her battles. While she'll likely be in the final three, it also seems likely that either Roxxxy or Angeria will best her in those final performances.

2. Roxxxy Andrews

Last Week's Placement: First
Wins: 2
Benefactress Badges: 3
Not Cut Off

Having been cut of twice already, it seems like Roxxxy could coast her way to the finale without anyone else taking a shot at her. She's also very likely to win a fourth badge next week in the sewing challenge, which will put her in first place and a lock for the finals. Roxxxy is also one of the best lip syncers in the mix, so she's very solidly in contention for that crown.

1. Angeria Paris VanMichaels

Last Week's Placement: Third
Wins: 3
Benefactress Badges: 3
Not Cut Off

Coming off her second win in a row and third lip sync win, Angeria is definitely THE queen to beat. It seems highly likely that she'll make the finals and if she gets there, she can easily win. Unfortunately for her, she most likely won't win next week's design challenge and is highly likely to get cut off given how many enemies she's seemed to have made. If that's the case, it might be hard for her to earn her fourth badge, meaning the likes of Gottmik or Nina West could edge her out of that third spot in the finals. You definitely can't rule out Angeria though. It's her competition to lose.
