16. Alyssa Edwards

Alyssa Edwards has been just as successful on the pageant circuit as Kennedy Davenport, winning both 'Miss Gay USofA' and 'Miss Gay Texas America.' She should arguably have won the second season of 'All Stars,' but the judges were left stunned when she was knocked out of the competition by her fellow contestant Detox. Up until then, she'd been riding high on a solid performance during the fifth season of 'Drag Race,' where she was a stand-out performer in dance challenges. That's another thing she and Davenport have in common!

Edwards, who was once known as Justin Dwayne Lee Johnson, has great comedy timing and presence, which she regularly shows the world on her internet-based series 'Alyssa's Secret.' When she's not doing that, she's taking classes at her self-owned dance studio 'Beyond Belief Dance Company' in the Texan town of Mesquite. If you want to check out what's happening at the company, you can tune into the Netflix series 'Dancing Queen' to find out.
