I think there's a difference in being an "ice queen" and being an out-and-out bitch. S1's Rebecca Glasscock, I think, was a better ice queen - aloof, impersonal, and simply dedicated to proving (albeit unsuccessfully) that she was better than everyone else. Raven is much too aggressive and mean-spirited to pull off the same kind of proper ice queeniness, especially with her sick obsession with Tatianna.
That being said, Raven definitely knows how to play this game to her advantage. She saves all her true bitchiness for backstage and interviews, and gives the judges exactly what they're looking for out on the runway. Even Tyra's two-facedness is starting to pale in comparison to what a great actress (or perhaps just a skilled liar) Raven has turned out to be.
And you're totally right that Jujubee is the last queen left who is the most like RuPaul. By that criteria, she should win, but who knows what the judges are looking for anymore.
