Although some fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race complain that Bebe Zahara Benet shouldn’t even be on all Stars 3 because she already snatched the crown in Season 1, that was nearly a decade ago, kitty gurl — and mama has sharpened her claws since then.

Oh yes, Benet has proved she’s a black panther in the drag jungle and ready to pounce. The queen mostly cruised through the competition without much fear of elimination, royally rocking the runway with glamorous looks and avoiding drama with her tight-lipped regal bearing (and just a bit of side-bitchery).

Not only did she snag some new fans along the way, she also showed a whole new generation of drag performers how to rock a unique brand of African-styled drag that never shies away from seeming too exotic or “foreign.” Even after a decade after winning the first crown, her drag still stands proudly above others.

As Benet purrs into the season finale, the first-ever queen could become the first-ever to win two crowns. Just goes to show that you can’t mess with the original.

Here are 10 reasons why Bebe Zahara Benet should win the All Stars 3 crown:
