Rupaul's Drag Race
Bebe was the last one to enter the Werk Room during Rupaul's Drag Race Season 1, and has shown to be a kind person. She also showed to be a force to be reckoned with when she won the main challenge during week 3. However, Bebe landed in the bottom 2 during the final 5 and managed to send home the strongest competitor of the season and fan-favorite Ongina. She later made it to the finale with Nina Flowers and Rebecca Glasscock. Once it was revealed that Bebe and Nina had to lip sync to see who wins, Bebe managed to beat Nina and become the winner of Season 1

Bebe later came back for Rupaul's Drag Race All Stars 3 and proved once again to be a strong competitor, doing well in many challenges. In week 5, Bebe came under controversy when she eliminated Aja as she sewed Bebe's outfit for her. The next week, Bebe once again landed in the top 2 however lost to BenDeLaCreme which lead to being one of the most shocking moments in the shows history as BenDeLaCreme chose to eliminate herself. Bebe once again made it to the finale along with Shangela, Trixe Mattel and Kennedy Davenport. However, due to a twist where the previously eliminated contestants got to choose the top 2, Bebe and Shangela were both eliminated in 3rd/4th place.

All Stars 3
"It's so very disappointing that I was not given the opportunity to fight for that final title but I think I've been an inspiration I really do. And you know what, I will always be the first, the original crowned queen."
