April 18Apr 18 Part of me feels like the producers are deliberately not gonna crown Onya given the spike in popularity on socials, etc. An easy grab for All Stars engagement if they want her back.In my head I can only see Sam being crowned, Jewels just doesn't scream winner.
April 18Apr 18 Given the social media reactions in the last two weeks, I can't see it being anyone other than Onya or Jewels. Their likes on Twitter & Insta are MILES ahead of the other two.I'm hoping it's Onya, but I wouldn't be surprised if I was upset just as I was with Sapphira last year.
April 19Apr 19 Jewels or Lexi would have to KILL it to winAlso I would only be happy with Onya not winning if she royally flops
April 19Apr 19 Obvious top 2 pick and an even more obvious winner. Very happy with the results especially with Jewels reaching 2nd. She has such an incredible camera presence and her confessionals were the best of the season.
April 19Apr 19 It had to be Onya, deep down I knew she couldn’t/wouldn’t lose especially against Jewels with the run she had but part of me did have a niggle the producers didn’t care if they really wanted to crown Jewels Jewels is going to be a very strong All Stars contender sooner rather than later, she needs a little time and I can see her honing her craft as she goes straight to Werq The World or Drag Race Live, all she needs is find what she’s about a bit more I think she’s so young and isn’t 100% on who she is or where she fits in. I don’t necessarily mean this pejoratively as I do love Jewels, but she is Drag Race more than DRAG, but the ingredients are there for her to absolutely storm whatever she does next. She has so much charisma and personality, I think she just needs to channel it into her drag a bit more and she will be absolutely flying. Onya is at the top of her game despite being right at the start of her career, and I can’t wait to see what she does with her reign. She’s like a mix of Jinkx and Symone for me, she has that raw theatre like talent but also such a charisma and unique edge to what she does. One of my favourite winners and one of the most dominant competition wise!
April 19Apr 19 Onya dominated the season (Jinkx, Bob, Symone comparisons are spot-on) too hard not to win (crunchy lip-sync hairflips or not). Not surprised either to see the comments about her winning already showing up online. So predictable 💤I didn't like how unceremonious the finale was, though — it didn't feel very special
April 19Apr 19 Haven't seen the episode yet but had the joy of finding out on socials. Really, really happy for Onya. I did think Ru wasn't gonna do it but she deserves it so much the trajectory she had throughout the season was been brilliant.
April 19Apr 19 So happy Onya won! And Jewels 2nd!!! Although I thought Lexi's top 4 performance was SO good! In fact all the queens gave great performances.I knew Onya was winning that lip sync as soon as I saw her in red (lady in red...). I do wish we went back to bigger/grander finales in a theatre. I miss the live audience reactions. Another great season of drag race! Hoping we'll see Jewels on an All Stars in a couple years or so!

I don’t care who someone’s wants to win but I’ve seen the SAME people say both those things which is crazy to me. I love Jewels but she deserved precisely one win for me and could have been bottom maybe 4 times!
April 20Apr 20 I am so so so happy for Onya, truly dominated the season! This was honestly one of my fave season's in a hot minute, just great casting and great challenges all round
April 21Apr 21 that final lipsync was a disaster for onya. i almost wouldn’t have been mad if she lost. we really were robbed of lexi lipsyncs this season, especially the finale ! i guess they couldn’t risk having her absolutely demolish onya
April 21Apr 21 Wow I guess Lexi only lip synced once this season at the very beginning. If not for that win, we would have seen none at all which is crazy
April 22Apr 22 Truthfully, I think they couldn't trust Lexi winning. She was too much of a loose cannon for the brand.Looking forward to seeing her post how she would have lipsynced, though, which she has promised to do on her socials.
April 22Apr 22 Lexi had a weird run and I think lip syncing might have given her the right momentum, but she never did badly enough in a challenge to warrant being bottom 2. She also never really did amazingly to deserve a win other than the talent show obviously and arguably the Betsey Johnson design challenge, so she was stuck in this limbo of doing well but not well enough to stand out all the time, but never faltering enough to have that highlight of smashing a lipsync.
