The time has come for our first winner to be crowned, but will it be Baga Chipz, The Vivienne or Divina De Campo? The final challenge is the obligitary RuMix, which I'm hyped about if it's as iconic as the Frock Destroyers *.*

The episode was so wholesome wub.gif It was a great final episode.

Is it just me or was their choreography some of the hardest that they've done on the show? It looked so difficult compared to a lot of the US choreography, especially with how fast it was at times!

All the queens did amazing and they all looked amazing at the end! I couldn't get how amazing RuPaul looked either!!! Her make up was stunning.

They crowned the right winner at the end.

I can't wait for RPDR UK season 2!

That episode was fantastic. This season really has been such a joy to watch. wub.gif The UK queens have brought such a special magic to the show that feels very lacking in the US version.

After that runway look tonight and her performance in the song, I can't deny Viv winning was the right decision. She looked absolutely stunning, and she's put the work in. Part of me's still really disappointed for Divina because she's been so heartwarming and has proven herself week after week, but can still see big things ahead for her <3

Bring on season 2!!

[I won't do spoiler tags so if you haven't watched the episode it's your problem huns]

I wonder if they filmed both crownings because the winner's reaction was quite visibly fake and underplayed.

It was an obvious winner since they mentioned the drugs TWICE in the episode. Divina was too perfect to be crowned and not in a Bianca way who was leagues beyond anyone else in her season.

Yeah we don't need spoilers bc why would you go in the thread if you haven't watched? laugh.gif

I'm disappointed tbh, I felt like she would win from more or less the start. I mean you can't argue that she's the most polished but I'm disappointed for Divina, plus it just feels like they decided she would win a few weeks ago and edited in something to make Viv more human.

I am happy with viv as the winner she is the most polished, divinia was my favourite (out of the top 3) so I was a little disappointed BUT I can't deny that it was undeserversed for Viv because she KILLED it, in the words of Robbie Turner "there was literally blood on the stage" or whatever it was.

I'm really disappointed at that winner tbh and the lip sync wasn't amazing either, such a bad song choice imo but the rest of the episode was pretty good tbf

I feel disappointed as well. Vivienne is good but I just feel like the show has been gearing me to love Divina since about week 3 for me to just feel let down by the time the finale comes.

I feel like Vivienne showed all she had to offer by week 2 and then was just consistent whereas Divina was bringing something surprising each week. Idk just all feels kinda mehhh atm

Divina had the best performance and look, I don't get the judges' love for Viv and honestly, who would want to watch a The Vivienne web series?

Fantastic episode, The Vivienne was definitely my winner so I'm very happy although id have been happy with all of them. Sick of people saying Divina was robbed, all 3 were fantastic all won 3 challenges each, no one was robbed that's just your opinion that your fave hasn't won. They will all have huge careers outside of this regardless

Bagga was clearly 3rd there and she defeated herself when she gave her speech.

I think overall on the final the Vivienne was better. I was team Divina, however the Vivienne has been great throughout the whole series too... I guess not always likeable, but I don't think you can argue she didn't deserve the win.

...Are we going to do a UK Queen rate?

I have to agree with this. The Vivienne was so consistent throughout and definitely had bigger highs than Divina (Trump, the rainy day look to name 2). To say she doesn't deserve it is really unwarranted imo.

I warmed to her as a person too. My favourite by the end so I'm really happy with the result.

the vivienne was definitely the most polished product and altho i ended up wanting divina to win, the vivienne is obviously a BRILLIANT choice of winner.

I didn't find The Vivienne at all endearing but she was the right winner. She will make an amazing web series. Her ability to portray a range of characters means she could play every role if she wanted. She could do a one woman sketch show. She'll be fantastic.

I do like Divina but I don't think her drag personality is anywhere near as entertaining as Viv. For me, Baga is ahead of her in that respect too.

Baga is still the one who's live show I'd most want to see.
