RuPaul’s Drag Race: 10 Bianca Del Rio Quotes That Live Rent Free In Fans’ Heads

When RuPaul’s Drag Race fans think Bianca Del Rio, it’s nearly impossible to not think about her slew of hilarious quotes. Being widely regarded as perhaps the funniest contestant in all of RuPaul’s Drag Race herstory, Bianca Del Rio made some incredibly memorable comments during her time on the show. Her overall charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent were what earned her the season 6 win, but humor is by far Bianca Del Rio’s strongest suit.

With so many hilarious quotes, the most iconic of them are almost always on the minds of Drag Race fans. Among the many funny Bianca Del Rio moments from the show, some have made a more lasting impact than others, and some have made waves (and memes) even outside of the Drag Race fanbase.

10 “Hurricane Bianca’s In Town. No One Is Safe.”

When Bianca Del Rio said this iconic line, perhaps no one could have imagined what would come of it. Not only does it perfectly sum up Bianca’s fierce presence on her season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, but it’s simply hard to forget this distinct quote as it later became the source of the title of Bianca Del Rio’s debut movie, Hurricane Bianca.

As it turned out, this quote proved prescient seeing as Bianca was the last queen standing in season 6. Though fellow top-three competitors Courtney Act and Adore Delano put up some great competition for her, it was quite clear throughout the season that Bianca was the front runner all along.

9 “I Thought She Was A F—ing Swordfish.”

Upon fellow contestant Magnolia Crawford’s Werk Room entrance, the other queens were quick to take notice of her intense nose contour. Bianca, being the blunt queen she is, made her opinions on the look abundantly clear during an individual confessional in which she hilariously stated, “I thought she was a f—ing swordfish” regarding the sharp point Crawford’s contour came to.

Milk didn’t hesitate to comment on it either, loudly saying, “Look at that nose” while getting right up in Magnolia’s face, making the entire situation an overall hilarious moment. Drag Race fans likely can’t look at other makeup looks with extremely sharp nose contour without thinking about Bianca’s swordfish line.

8 “Trinity Reminds Me Of A Dear Friend Of Mine From New Orleans. She’s Dead.”

Bianca Del Rio was notorious for making snide comments about her fellow queens, whether it be to their face or behind the scenes during her individual confessionals. When it comes to contestant Trinity K. Bonet, she and Bianca had ongoing beef throughout their season that started right away.

Just after both of their Werk Room entrances, Bianca was shown in a confessional saying, “Trinity reminds me of a dear friend of mine from New Orleans. She’s dead.” This read perfectly showcases Bianca’s shadiness, starting off as what seems like a compliment then ending with a pitying, powerful punchline.

7 “She’s Kinda Grown On Me. Like A Rash”

Being so well known for her shady and witty remarks toward other contestants, Gia Gunn fell victim to one of the most backhanded. Bianca Del Rio was constantly expressing her contempt for the immaturity of many other queens on season 6, and she made her distaste for Gia Gunn especially clear in a moment from episode 4.

This quote is yet another joke set up as a compliment that reveals itself to be iconic, highly memorable read. Though it was also said in an individual confessional rather than to Gia’s face, the quote is just another example of Bianca’s extreme talent for quick comedy.

6 “Rolodex Of Hate”

During one episode in which the queens were preparing for a challenge in the Werk Room, RuPaul came up to Bianca and asked, “What’s your secret?” in regard to her natural comedic abilities. Almost immediately, Bianca said that she keeps a “Rolodex of hate” in her mind at all times, explaining that her spiteful comments are simply stored away and that she is always ready with a witty clapback regardless of the scenario.

“When you’re faced with a situation, you just roll through and you go, what do I have?” RuPaul found this hilarious, and from then on, the hypothetical Rolodex became a real staple of Bianca’s career. It turned into the title of one of her comedy specials, and it would manifest as a continuous bit in various shows and videos online as well.

5 “Really, Queen?”

Out of every queen Bianca had drama with in season 6, she and Laganja Estranja had some of the biggest RuPaul’s Drag Race beefs. In response to one of Laganja’s many outbursts, Bianca had had enough, simply stating, “Really, queen?” during a confessional.

Though it seems like a casual comment, the quote became another staple catchphrase for Bianca. It too inspired a title for her, becoming the name of Bianca Del Rio’s web series on the World of Wonder YouTube channel, a show in which she recalled (and of course, read) moments from fellow Drag Race alumni.

4 “Baloney!”

Who could forget one of the best Snatch Game performances of all time? Bianca Del Rio’s hilariously accurate impersonation of Judge Judy blew away RuPaul and audiences alike, but most of all it provided fans with the quick yet iconic quote, “Baloney!”

Though technically a stolen quote from Judge Judy herself, Bianca’s hysterical delivery of the line made it uniquely her own. For Drag Race fans, it’s quite difficult to imagine the phrase in anything but Bianca’s aggressive voice.

3 “…Ain’t Gonna Happen!”

To further prove her comedic genius, Bianca Del Rio slayed the competition during the stand-up challenge in episode 8. Bianca went out of her way to roast the judges, especially Michelle Visage and Santino Rice, for their insistence upon seeing versatility from contestants. Bianca’s thoughts on this? “I will show you verasility when Santino wins a sewing competition and Visage wears a f—ing turtleneck. Ain’t gonna happen!”

This made the audience, queens, and even judges burst with laughter. But it wasn’t just the truth behind the irony of the statement; it was Bianca’s belligerent delivery that made the comment so memorable.

2 “What Do You Do Successfully? Quickly.”

One of Bianca Del Rio’s most hilarious Drag Race quotes took place during an episode of Untucked rather than on the main show. In response to Trinity K. Bonet expressing that she felt overlooked by the judges, Bianca clapped back with, “Let me ask you a very fair question. What do you do successfully?” And before Trinity had time to respond, Del Rio followed it up with, “Quickly.”

Though it appears editing may have factored into the hilarity of this situation, Trinity was still seemingly unable to come up with a response. The other queens were left speechless, much like Trinity herself. While Trinity K. Bonet has definitely proven herself as a talented and successful drag queen, fans will never forget this priceless quote.

1 “Not Today, Satan”

Of all the quotes that live rent-free in RuPaul Drag Race fans’ heads, Bianca Del Rio’s most iconic by far is her infamous, “Not today, Satan. Not today.” Said during a confessional in response to Courtney Act’s criticism of Bianca, “Not today, Satan” became viral vocabulary that found its footing far beyond the Drag Race fandom.

Even people who have never watched RuPaul’s DragRace or who don’t know who Bianca Del Rio is have likely heard or even said this phrase before. It has entered pop culture as a catchphrase that can be used in nearly any uncomfortable situation. While not everyone knows the true origins of the quote, true Drag Race fans understand its incredible significance.
