In Friday’s ninth episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race 14,” the eight remaining queens got to experience what it’s like hosting a panel at RuPaul’s DragCon. RuPaul Charles challenged them to discuss “Menzeses” in two groups of four, with DeJa Skye and Bosco serving as moderators of the conversations. The judges loved both moderators and ultimately chose Bosco as the challenge winner, but for this week’s poll we want to know who YOU would want to see as a panelist at DragCon.
Vote for the queen you think was the strongest DragCon panelist in the poll below.

DeJa moderated the panel that included Lady Camden, Willow Pill and Angeria Paris VanMichaels. In their conversation, all four queens spoke eloquently on the topic of fatherhood, offering touching stories of their own relationships with their dads that provided the “takeaway” that Ru had advised was an important part of a DragCon panel. The group’s chemistry came into play in how they volleyed the conversation from one to the other exactly as friends would, just as they planned. As moderator, DeJa kept them on pace, but Willow dropped nugget of wisdom after nugget of wisdom. Camden was able to come out of her shell and showed vulnerability when talking about her dad and Angie remained true to the effervescent personality we’ve become used to.
In the other group, it was immediately clear that they made the right decision to have Bosco moderate instead of Jasmine Kennedie, who had originally asked for the leadership role. Bosco won the challenge because of how natural she was as a moderator and for executing joke after joke after joke that had Ru and the rest of the judges howling with laughter. Jasmine was not as good at slowing her long-windedness as she had planned and Jorgeous caved to her nerves once again, receding into insecurities despite Ru’s faith in her as a performer. Daya Betty fell to the bottom of the week, almost by default because the judges were still complimentary to her perspective on drag that she offered up in the panel.
