Remember in Europe and England, the drinking age is 18 and here in the United States is 21 and they have alcohol on the shit so I think that’s one of the big factors
I thought it has to do with becoming of full age, because then you can sign contracts without a parent/guardian - but the drinking age really makes sense.
In the UK (and some other countries in Europe) the drinking age is 18 unlike the US, so I think this plays a lot into the age of the queens on the show. If they can perform (legally) in bars, they can do the show.
Man, Miss Season 4 has really become the “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” of the winners. Trust me, I know why that is, but to think this used to be one of the most popular winners on the show.
Well She literally did change up drag when she won, it opened the world to a more alternative style and approach to drag, so it makes sense why she was one of the more popular winners
@R.j🥶 she did through drag race. At season 4, Drag Race was really big and impactful in the drag scene and of course her drag wasn't new in the world but open spooky alt drag to many people that didn't knew it existed before.
@@anusthing*thank you* lots of people found their place because of Miss S4's drag. But people are so set on bashing that type of drag because that person happened to be a walking trash can. We don't need to praise her to recognise how she increased visibility of spooky and alt drag during her time in drag race.
You gotta love Chloe _finally_ understanding the concept of the video 20 minutes into it. (Oh, and it’s a 27 minute long video.) LOL. It’s all good, sis, I’ve been there before in life too! LOL.
@@Bazibishop Hahahaha. Right? In all fairness to her, she very well could’ve just _forgotten_ exactly what was going on. But really, either way, forgetting what you’re discussing 20 minutes into the video or just finding out then are both pretty hilarious. (Though the second _is_ better considering the fact that they had _surely_ been filming for _much_ longer than 20 minutes!
Sharonne being in the top every episode and only one safe, having the best performance in the franchise and also being the oldest one is such an all time slay.
i would assume the minimum age for each franchise is whatever its respective country's legal drinking age is, just to make sure when they're serving alcohol that everyone can legally drink it. the US has a pretty old legal drinking age compared to most other countries.
There is a queen here in UK called Betty Legs Diamond who was mysteriously silent on social media during season 5 filming and left her long term residency the month before. If she is on she's a definite contender for the crown and would definitely be the oldest winner so far as I'm sure she is in 50s. One to watch for sure 🙌💃
I'm SHOCKED by these first couple of ages! I for sure thought everyone was older than they were. And this is no shade, they just all seemed so well composed and I simply... wasn't at their respective ages.
As a Torontonian, come on over gal! and all the girls from the gig you wish to bring. We can all meet up for dinner and drinks or something. love the show (been watching since way way back and your rise has been so fabulous to see. )
Thanks Mera and Chloe!! This was a fun aging adventure. Chloe cracks me up, I love her!!! I like how the words "Okay" and "Yes" have varied meanings depending on the intonation in Chloe's pronunciation!! 😅🤣😂 Kinda like "Work" and "Fierce"...
I've been noticing a slight trend with drag in general where the brown hair is making a comeback, it may still be too early, but I have been noticing more drag queens rocking the brunette and dark blonde hair 😍
Y'all need to go back and watch Season 7. I know you hate Violet, Mera, but she had a cute little not-being-mean-anymore arc in her season that was really genuine and sweet.
My thought on Priyanka was that maybe she also came off younger because she spent time on children’s tv first, so she had to have a certain charisma and personality
The British Commonwealth countries: 19-27: UK age 28-29: UK/Canada transitional age 30-33: Canada age 34: Canada/Down Under transitional age 35+: Down Under age UK Winners: 19, 23, 26, 29 (Avg age: 24.25 years old) Canada Winners: 28, 33, 34 (Avg age: 31.67 years old) Down Under Winners: 34, 37 (Avg age: 35.5 years old)
I still can't believe Mistress Isabelle Brooks is only a few days older than Sugar and Spice! She was born July 14, 1998 and they were born July 19, 1998.
@@novemBURRbby I’ve lived in both areas and I would say it depends on the time of year you visit! In my opinion, Montreal (Quebec in general) is more equipped for Winter festivities. But in the Spring/Summer time both places are beautiful and have great nightlife’s 🤩
For Crystal Versace being the youngest, the reason being is in the UKs law when you pass 18 you're allowed to do certain things, you're legally considered an adult, whereas in the US you're legally considered an adult at 21 😊
You got me thinking about how I thought Blu did the 3 tatas first but I went and looked, She probably THOUGHT she was first and then watched season 11 like “DAMN she got me gal”
Adding to the comments, in many countries you are legally an adult at 18 (age of majority) 😉 To me it’s weird that the US has an age of majority of 18 (for most states) but drinking age is 21…
Gotta check their bdays at the time they won. Between Aquaria and Tyra At the time the final episode aired Tyra Sanchez was technically 22 and 4 days. Aquaria was 22 and 4 months at the time the final episode aired. She was 21 while competing. Hmmmmm??? Who was the youngest winner???? 😱😱😱😱
Canadas legal age to drink etc is 19 I would assume so it England's which is why the other franchises have younger queens is cause of the age restrictions are different
I feel like Sasha will win. I can’t imagine a scenario where she doesn’t. She’s been consistently doing really well and I don’t think there’s anything she’s scared to do. I would absolutely love for Mistress to win if for some reason Sasha doesn’t.
I think the age thing has to do with the drinking age. If people could drink at 18 here you know they would have them on the show. Most clubs in the US are 21+ (queer clubs tend to be more 18+), but I feel like it’s probably to just avoid all of those complications.
The age thing is due to the alcohol sponsored show and events. Most other countries have a drinking age of 18 so it’s okay for them to be around and consume it 👄 yummm
i live near toronto and any flight to toronto from somewhere in canada is like $400-$1000 for a one way ticket 😭😭 where are you getting these good deals
Pretty sure minimum ages across Drag Race franchises are due to alcohol rules... don't forget DR usually allows the queens to drink backstage and the US is one of the only countries with a minimum drinking age of 21, isn't it?
I bet there is an element of "crown the older queen, let the younger runner-up win Allstars once they've become more experienced". Because like, I can't see Sasha doing Allstars but Mistress I could see go on and obliterate

Wait what
Remember in Europe and England, the drinking age is 18 and here in the United States is 21 and they have alcohol on the shit so I think that’s one of the big factors
It’s THE factor. Also most drag queens can’t start in clubs till they are 21 or until the bar thinks their 21.
I thought it has to do with becoming of full age, because then you can sign contracts without a parent/guardian - but the drinking age really makes sense.
@@IvyTinweage of majority is 18 across the US, so it’s not about that. It’s literally only the drinking age that’s elevated in the US to 21yrs old
So does it mean Portugal can have 16 years old doing drag if gets a season?
@@ghostrouxinol6169 probably. But there might be laws against them missing school or needing school provided.
I need a Mera awards. Where the guests vote on their favorite Mera looks, topics, and quotes.
Yes!!! That would be so fun and cool. Maybe an anniversary event?
I love that idea🎉❤
Don’t they do something like the Mangled Awards?
I second the motion!
Mangled awards?
In the UK (and some other countries in Europe) the drinking age is 18 unlike the US, so I think this plays a lot into the age of the queens on the show. If they can perform (legally) in bars, they can do the show.

Apparently the reason that queens can’t get on until 21 in the us and 18 internationally is because the drinking ages are different across the way
I LOVE when the other girl says “oh I thought she was older!!” And Mera immediately says,” because of the level of polish”😂😂
I think it's respectful and polished
Yeah, sure, that why 😅
@@MrMadscotsmanand you expect us to believe that's why y'all think these people are older 😭😭

You should do Winners by Zodiac sign!
Please don't do that. Astrology is absolut bullshit 🙄

this is surprinsingly inspiring tbh
also Mera the winner of Thailand 2 is called Angele and not Angelene 💀💀
She said "Carmen Falala" as well.
"violet shashki"
Lawrence specifically only being a year younger than me SENDING me, I can't comprehend.

Sasha is slaying the competition in her own way but I think Anetra is going to win the season. And I’m here for that.
You must watch season 2 of Italia. It was AMAZING!!! & La Diamond was a different beast!
Thank you for not mentioning the name of Season 4 - I was wondering how that was going to be handled!
Trinity is AWESOME!!!
What a fun video. Love both these queens, and it was so cool to see the age diversity among the winners.
The Vivienne was 26??? Not 46?
Her addiction period may have aged and matured her more than normal.
The British Commonwealth countries:
19-27: UK age
28-29: UK/Canada transitional age
30-33: Canada age

Top 2: Sasha and Mistress
Tops 3~4: Anetra and Luxx
Marcia Marcia Marcia being a year older than Mistress is 😮
How about a video on the drag families that have been on drag race. I’m sure there’s some that not many people know about.
The Davenports alone could be a whole video!
20:40 Natalia Pliacam has a coffin-manufacturing business!
Abroad, depending on the country it’s based on legal drinking age. In Canada depending on the province but the oldest drinking age is 19
1) yesss please go to Toronto. and 2) please book a show in Ottawa!!
Chloe & Mera are my fav duo tbh
Jinkx on fire dress was uniquely awesome😍😍😍
Chloe is always a great guest!!! Love her so much! 🧡
I wish they would bring back Thailand. It was my favorite international series
Pangina had a mysterious Tweet recently that seems to imply it's returning.
@@MishaFoomin I really hope so! I loved it

I would love to see Mera and Chloe on DR. I think it would be iconic
13:08 omg bob needs a winter/ Christmas tour called bob-slay / bobsleigh
I genuinely thought Danny Beard and Cheddar Gorgeous would tie on UK4 and I think it would've been a good reign for both!
Jinkx can get a designer now, she's got the money!$$$$$💋💋💋💋
Omg come to Toronto!!!! And let us know you're coming!
Oooo manifesting ill meet mera and scarlett at jinks show in toronto
I am of course, footing for Sasha who wouldn,t ? But I do really love Marcia char can I way she stole my heart.

Wow I love Chloe
Please make a video on queens who won the first max challenge who ended up winning their season !!
Yvie and I have the same birthday too
Sometimes I forget that the drinking age in the US is 21, like so weird to be considered an adult and can't drink?
Mera I think you should start a live show. I would love to see you perform.
I think the other franchises are about drinking age lol
I think that the reason why different ages as minimum for different franchises, may be due to legal drinking age, because of the drinks in untucked.
Down under s 1st season wasn't bad...😍😍
And apparently both Alaska and Shea were 27 on their initial seasons, so they had the same time gap until they won Allstars
Have you done a list of the most iconic exit lines of each season?
Adding to the comments, in many countries you are legally an adult at 18 (age of majority) 😉
To me it’s weird that the US has an age of majority of 18 (for most states) but drinking age is 21…
Thank you prohibition for your unnecessary-ness affecting the US for a whole century 🥲
Mera come to Toronto please!
I love being 21❤
Chloe is giving Lisa Frank Troll doll and i am living
Chloe when she’s never heard of a queen:
Okayyy 😍😍
In Europe 18 is considered an age of majority compared to US where is 21.

At the time the final episode aired Tyra Sanchez was technically 22 and 4 days.
Aquaria was 22 and 4 months at the time the final episode aired. She was 21 while competing.
Hmmmmm??? Who was the youngest winner???? 😱😱😱😱
Keiona is also 31 I think, so that makes Keiona, Carmen and Envy all in team 31 year old winners.
I think it would be interesting if you summarized who waited the longest to get a challenge win in a single season
How Mistress can be 24? She's so polish and her character is so well define, I'm gagged!
Canadas legal age to drink etc is 19 I would assume so it England's which is why the other franchises have younger queens is cause of the age restrictions are different
Is Sharonne going to be the oldest?
She is and have the best track record of them all!

They serve the queens drinks in the us and if there under 21 they wouldn't be able to drink
It's legal age.
US is 21. Every other country is 19. In my understanding
18 and in some you can legally buy beer at 16.
The age requirement being 18+ for most franchises besides the US will definitely be to do with the legal drinking age.
Thanks for the laughs
