Well that was… an episode. The Lalaparuza is normally exciting when the songs are a mixed bunch of songs by different artists but when it’s all RuPaul songs for the 719475th time, I just can’t get excited. There’s only so much “cat-cat-catcatcat” to Call Me Mother that I can take before my eyes roll back fully into my skull.

Ciara and her constant Substance references I absolutely lived for though. And making it past at least Athena was rewarding to watch.

Now that I’ve rewatched most of Juicy’s lip syncs this season, she really is the moment. Absolutely untouchable in this last episode, she just knew she was going to win.

When is All Stars 11 feat. Roxxxy Andrews & Juicy happening?

Oh and the format of the lip syncs was a really good idea, I absolutely despise when there’s a head to head battle format with participant numbers as not 8 or 16 x

Darlene has got the most fan support, Nini has the most versatility (I don't know they try to push that Myki is good at comedy and design when she is a very good actress/comedian but her looks are very hit or miss)

Delusion

Myki ate this season

Wow, Nini DEVOURED that final, not even close. I just knew they couldn’t give it to her because of the end of her track record but if it was solely based off the final, then she made the other two look poor. I was watching with my boyfriend who hasn’t seen an episode and he thought it was obvious but based off the series, Myki does make sense. She’s just not exciting in any way but clearly talented.

Phew that was too close!!!

Nini obviously had the best song hands down and a stunt in the final lipsync, but I would have hated if she was crowned based on just that performance!!

Myki was my favorite and a queen all around, so her winning felt correct and very much deserved <3

I know it’s not Myki’s fault but it just felt like “oh I guess she’ll do” since Jane wasn’t there, especially as they are similar types of queen who’s strengths were comedy/acting but Jane had the looks and design down too. It’s not disappointing and based on the whole season out of who’s left yeah she was the right winner, but it’s just more of an “oh cool :)” and nothing else reaction for me.

NINI F***ING COCO!! If she has no fans then I’m dead. She absolutely killed every moment of that final but I get why she couldn’t be crowned after the last few weeks, I’m just glad that she made it as far as she did and gave every moment her all down to the final lispync. Myki deserved to win after how well she performed from start to finish.

It doesn't seem to be the popular opinion online but I do think Myki won the final lip-sync — she had a lot of stage presence without needing to do too much and connected to the song more. I'll give credit to Nini who ate her performance though (in a lovely wig)

Darlene is a ray of sunshine but watching her in the finale was like seeing what would happen if an early-out was randomly given the chance to skip to the finale. Being the 'robbed' fan favourite was the best outcome for her

I strangely didn't feel the weight of Jane Don't during her run on the show, but the finale without her (and last few weeks) just felt like choosing the best supporting actress

Anyway! The cast has great chemistry and I really grew to love most of them, but ultimately it was just another season of Drag Race and Myki was a fine winner x

Currently thinking about the opposite track records of Myki and Nini

Myki absolutely did!

She may not be the most juggernaut winner but as a queen I love her - you can tell her drag mothers and family were all trans drag queens
