SEATTLE—Jane Don’t, a sharp-witted comedian from the Seattle drag scene, was voted Miss Congeniality by her fellow contestants on the finale of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 18, earning a $10,000 prize.
The 33-year-old performer, whose drag name is a playful spin on “Jane Doe,” finished fifth overall in the competition. She was eliminated in Episode 13 after landing in the bottom for the first time and lip-syncing to “Garden of Eden.”
Jane Don’t stood out as a frontrunner throughout the season despite not reaching the finale. She won three maxi-challenges (Episodes 2, 9 and 10), earned a top-two placement in Episode 6 and set records with 10 consecutive top placements — the longest streak in the show’s history — and the most top placements in a single season.
Known for her old-school comedic style inspired by Bette Midler and Joan Rivers, Jane Don’t entered the werkroom with the boisterous catchphrase “WAZZUP?!” Castmates praised her generosity, noting she frequently helped others with outfits, sewing, lyrics and jokes. Her drag family includes sisters Bosco of Season 14 and All Stars 10 and Irene The Alien of Season 15 and All Stars 10; she was formerly drag aunt to Arrietty of Season 17.
Reigning Miss Congeniality Crystal Envy of Season 17 presented the award during Sunday’s finale.
Myki Meeks was crowned the Season 18 winner.
