Additionally, she is the first to originally win the title unofficially and later have it be made official by passing down the title in the second season's finale.

highest placing Miss Congeniality, placing second on the season she won the title.

The first Miss Congeniality of each series in the Drag Race franchise are.

The queens continued to choose Miss Congeniality after Season 10. This also showed that the producers listened to the fans after last season's controversy and allowed the queens to choose their own 'Miss Congeniality'. The hacking was later resolved by the show, which, after the hacking, the Season 10 queens themselves voted. Season 10's voting also sparked controversy, as the voting had been hacked by robots, which resulted in The Vixen taking the lead with 18 million votes. This made fans want a fan-favorite and congeniality divide, where fan-favorite was voted for by the fans and Miss Congeniality was chosen by the queens on the season.

Valentina has since admitted on the popular web series 'Hey Qween', that she won the Miss Congeniality vote because her fans want her to 'win something' at that time, even claiming that Cynthia Lee Fontaine or Peppermint should have won the title instead. This 'Miss Congeniality versus Fan-Favorite' controversy also brought up winners of previous seasons (mainly Pandora Boxx, BenDeLaCreme, and Katya) as even though they were congenial, the fans felt that other queens in their seasons were more congenial, but the winners were more beloved by the fans and they felt that the queens were eliminated too early. Season 9's Miss Congeniality, Valentina, was dubbed to be a 'fan-favorite', rather than congenial by the other season 9 girls, as they felt she played up the role to the camera, but was not actually congenial with the rest of the girls during, and after the filming of the season. Valentina being crowned by the predecessor Cynthia Lee Fontaine. The title is notably absent from every season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, RuPaul's Drag Race UK, RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under, and Drag Race Sverige which have all chosen to not continue the tradition. On the first season of Drag Race Italia, the title was assigned by hair products brand Wella Professionals Italia, one of the sponsors for the season. The first season of Canada's Drag Race lacks an official recepiet of the title but the tradition has since been adopted officially from the second season onward as well as on Canada's Drag Race: Canada vs The World.

The tradition of the title has been continued across other series internationally where it is known as Mejor Compañera on The Switch Drag Race, Miss Simpatía on Drag Race España and Drag Race México, Miss Drag Simpatia on Drag Race Italia, and Miss Sympathie on Drag Race France. The only exception being the ninth season as the current reigning Miss Congeniality at the time, Cynthia Lee Fontaine, had competed on the season and handed down the title at the reunion a week before the grand finale. From the fourth season onward, the grand finale and the reunion were combined, the crowning of the season's Miss Congeniality would take place right before the winner's crowning. Originating from the first season of the original American series, the title was announced on the reunion special from the first three seasons which aired after the grand finale. Prior to the tenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race, the fans determined which contestant won the title, but has since been changed to the title being decided amongst the contestants themselves. These contestants are rumored to be filming Global All Stars, as many of them have notably disappeared from social media and their in-person gigs during time of the filming, beginning October 2023.Miss Congeniality is the title awarded to the contestants who are regarded as the kindest, most helpful ones on their respective seasons. Little is known about the project at the moment.

The first season of RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars was announced on December 12, 2022.
