Jujubee (LO: ຈູຈູບີ)[1] is an American drag performer, makeup artist, singer, comedian and one of the contestants of the second season of RuPaul's Drag Race.
Following the show, Jujubee has become one of the most popular Drag Race alumni. She appeared in the music video for RuPaul's song "Jealous of My Boogie", alongside fellow season two contestants Raven and Tyra Sanchez.[6] She also was nominated for a NewNowNext award in 2010 for "Most Addictive Reality Star".[7]
Jujubee has been a professor on all three seasons of RuPaul's Drag U[8], and has appeared a total of ten times, tying with season two contestant Raven. Her first win was in Episode 8 of Season 1 with a makeover of actress Charlene Tilton[9], who played Lucy Ewing on the TV series Dallas. Tilton's drag name was Lisa Mercedes. In season two, her second win was with nurse Lanell[9] under the name of Angel Esprit.
In 2012, Jujubee was announced as one of the twelve contestants of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars. In the pair selection, she and fellow season two queen Raven picked each other as partners and chose the team name "Rujubee" and placed 3rd/4th with Shannel.[9]
In 2020, Jujubee was announced as one of the ten contestants of All Stars 5[9], returning for a third time with fellow All Stars 1 alumni Alexis Mateo. During the season, she won her first challenge in her entire Drag Race career, ultimately placing 2nd/3rd with Miz Cracker.
Drag Name Origin[]
Her drag mother, Karisma Geneva Jackson-Tae[10], proclaimed that Jujubee will be her name, when she did an amateur competition and won. It turned out to be the fruit jujube.[11] She didn’t like the name, but kept it because of its significance to Karisma.

Trivia[]
Jujubee is the first and only contestant in herstory...
... to be of Thai and Laotian descent.
... to have made it to a finale without any Maxi Challenge wins in a regular series (in Season 2).
Jujubee is the first contestant to win three reading challenges.
Jujubee has had the longest run across seasons before winning her first Maxi Challenge, having competed in 17 Drag Race episodes prior to winning a Maxi Challenge.
Jujubee is also the Drag Race contestant who competed in the most episodes, with 24.
Jujubee is the only contestant from All Stars 1 who returned to compete in another All Star season to make it to the finale.
Jujubee (with Shannel, Chad Michaels, and Raven) is the fourth-seventh queen to reach the finale and be critiqued in every competitive episode of the season.
Jujubee holds the record for the most times being up for elimination across all seasons, with twelve times in total (three on each season she was on).
However, the only reason she holds this record is because of the twist on All Stars 5. Without it, she would arguably only have been up for elimination a total of six or seven times, behind Latrice Royale, who was up for elimination a total of eight times across her three seasons.
Coincidentally, on All Stars 1 and All Stars 5 the last three competitive episodes was when she was up for elimination.
Jujubee has been followed by the number 3 since she was first cast on RuPaul's Drag Race:
Even though she was eliminated four times across seasons, she did not get to write a farewell mirror message on three of her eliminations, on All Stars 1, All Stars 5 and RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs The World.
She is the only Drag Race contestant so far who competed in four Ball Challenges, with Alexis Mateo, who has competed in three, just behind her. Like Alexis, she was in the bottom for all the balls she competed in.
Jujubee's All Stars 5 finale lip sync look was designed by her fellow contestant India Ferrah.
With her appearance in UK vs. the World (2022), Jujubee has appeared as a contestant on more seasons of Drag Race than any other contestant, appearing on Season 2, All Stars 1, All Stars 5, and UK vs. the World (2022). She has also appeared as a contestant on Queen of the Universe and a mentor on RuPaul's Drag U.
Although winning her first challenge on All Stars 5, she lost the lipsync on that season, but in UK vs The World, she won the top 2 lipsync against Mo Heart.
Jujubee is the first contestant to have competed with 4 different formats (each on separate seasons), with the Lip-Sync for Your Life format (Season 2), Teams format (All Stars 1), Lip-Sync Assassin format (All Stars 5), and Lip-Sync for Your Legacy format (UK vs The World).
Jujubee was added to the Season Pass of RuPaul's Drag Race Superstar in August 2023, alongside the tag "Kitschy".
