A couple of days ago I was recommended a short on YouTube that claimed that the cast of season 5 of Drag Race is now the most successful cast in the franchise, since they have collectively won 4 crowns. However, three of their queens were the first eliminated on seasons 2, 6 and 8 of All Stars respectively. Before this, the idea was that season 9 of Drag Race was the most successful season. But, the thing is, a cast is only as good as the sum of its parts. So, I wanted to calculate which cast of Drag Race has been the most successful at All Stars.
