Not voting for Bianca Del Rio in the Bingewatch Awards? Baloney!

In the metaphorical sense, there are no real winners or losers on RuPaul’s Drag Race. In the literal sense, Bianca Del Rio owned the sixth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race on VH1 and was recognized with one of the greatest honors in all the land. New York Magazine also celebrated Bianca with the number one slot out of the top 100 Most Powerful Drag Queens in America in June.

But that was then, and this is Film Daily’s Bingewatch Awards. Before RuPaul’s Drag Race UK hits screens in October, we are taking the opportunity to celebrate the best of the best of the best of the Drag Race queens. There is so much to love about Bianca. Her makeup, her product line of makeup remover, her constant rescheduling for Satan. The memes she has provided us with over the years have truly been a blessing, and every quote she has ever given would make a great throw pillow. While the Drag Race audience are the true winners, there can only be one in the Bingewatch Awards. So start tweeting at @FilmDailyNews and let us know who you’ll be voting for. Vote now. In the meantime, here are just five of several hundred reasons why we love Bianca.

Bianca has had a lot of firsts in her career

In addition to Bianca’s stunning sixth-season win, she was noted as the first contestant in the history of RuPaul’s Drag Race to go through the entire competition without ever ranking low or in the bottom of a challenge. Bianca was also the second winner to make it to the finale without having to lip sync for her life, and she was listed as the first Hispanic Drag Race winner as well. More than that, Bianca’s had a lot of firsts during her time off the show as well. In September, she’s slated to be the first drag queen to headline the Wembley-UK tour.

Great gowns, beautiful gowns

Bianca was well established as an award-winning costume designer before ever appearing on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Bianca was nominated for 13 Big Easy Entertainment Awards and made costumes for the New Orleans Opera, demonstrating her understanding of costuming before starting her career in drag.

We live and die by Bianca’s catchphrases

RuPaul’s Drag Race is meant for memes, and no one else has proven as prolific and meme-able as Bianca. What is perfect about Bianca’s catchphrases is that they blend so seamlessly into everyday life. Have an unflattering photo taken of you for your LinkedIn profile? That’s clown realness. Do you have a favorite sandwich topping? Baloney. Having a bad day at work? Then best remember that it can’t be as bad as drag queens in a drag queen competition, since the only thing worse is f***ing prison.

We love a capitalism queen

How many other Drag Race competitors managed to crowdfund a truly terri-bad feature-length movie that had Alan Cummings and Rachel Dratch in it? How many other Drag Race competitors followed up on a truly terri-bad feature-length film with a truly terri-bad sequel? As if that wasn’t enough, she released her book, Blame it on Bianca, as well as a makeup remover. Who else has that mightily awesome power? The Hurricane Bianca films continue to stream on platforms like Hulu, and Blame It On Bianca Del Rio keeps getting referenced in media years after publication.

Bianca just keeps getting better

The Dead Inside Tour completed over one hundred shows across twenty-one countries, and the It Gets Bitter World Comedy Tour launched in 2026 with dates in Latin America and Europe. Bianca also returned to host The Pit Stop for Season 18 in 2025 and 2026, cementing her place as an ongoing voice inside the franchise itself.

Bianca Del Rio’s Recent Theatre Work

Bianca stepped into legitimate stage roles with her casting as Madame Pernelle in the off-Broadway production of Tartuffe at New York Theatre Workshop in late 2025 and into 2026, appearing alongside Matthew Broderick. The run gave her a chance to work inside a classic text while still bringing her signature timing to a new audience.

Hosting The Pit Stop

Bianca’s return to host The Pit Stop for Season 18 kept her front and center in the official Drag Race recap machine. The gig let her riff on the latest episodes with the same sharp eye that made her a fan favorite during her own season, and clips from the show continued circulating well into 2026.

Global Touring Success

Bianca’s post-2019 touring schedule expanded far beyond single-country runs. The Dead Inside Tour played more than one hundred dates across twenty-one countries, while the It Gets Bitter World Comedy Tour added 2026 stops in Latin America and Europe. The scale of those bookings showed how far her stand-up reach had grown since the original Bingewatch Awards piece.

Sustained Podcast Presence

Bianca continues to release episodes of The Bianca Del Rio Podcast with high-profile guests, and she makes frequent appearances on other podcasts and web series. The audio work gives her another direct line to fans between live dates and screen projects, keeping the conversation going year-round.

Bianca Del Rio keeps adding chapters that reward the people who voted for her back when the Bingewatch Awards first asked the question. Her firsts on the show remain unmatched, her catchphrases still land in group chats, and her business moves keep the merch moving. The new theatre credit, the Pit Stop hosting slot, the global tours, and the steady podcast output all point in the same direction. If the question is still who belongs at the top of any Drag Race celebration, the answer has not changed. Vote now for Bianca.
