Challenge champions
Which queens have the best track record when it comes to winning challenges? These are the queens who consistently dominated the competition, measured by their win percentage across all challenges they participated in.
We present both perspectives: excluding finales (which don't always feature traditional challenges) and including finales (where formats vary by season). This comparison reveals how finale performance impacts overall track records.
Only queens who participated in at least 3 challenges are included to ensure a meaningful sample size.
