Miss Vanjie is hot favourite to win Miss Congeniality and 'Drag Race' fans are pissed

As RuPaul's Drag Race wraps up for another season, it's time once again for viewers to decide which eliminated queen deserves to win the coveted Miss Congeniality sash.

Following last year's Valentina kerfuffle ("I just don't feel like you should be Miss Congeniality!"), Drag Race loyalists are hoping to find a (debatably) more deserving, congenial winner among this year's batch.

It seems only one person stands in their way: the meme queen herself, first eliminated contestant Miss Vanjie.

Despite a long list of congenial hopefuls to choose from (popular candidates include Blair St Clair, Dusty Rae Bottoms, Miz Cracker, Monét X Change and Asia O'Hara), plenty of fans plan on voting for Vanessa "Miss Vanjie" Matteo, who was booted from the show on the first episode.

Vanjie, who is headlining her own Australian club tour later this year, has enjoyed her fair share of spotlight since sashaying off the RPDR stage with those now famous words... "Miss... Vanjie."

But is she worthy of Miss Congeniality? Only time will tell!

Previous winners include Ivy Winters, Katya and BenDeLaCreme.
