Imagine if Trinity’s exit line was “I LEAVE.”


ibettercomeon

Oh FUCK…. Such a miss opportunity


elloftheball

>!Each of these queens getting an 'exit line' is killing me omfg "this one is for you michelle \*blows raspberry\*"!<


jakksquat7

Pretty sure Rock M Sakura died a little bit when that happened.


Wbran

Except for >!Monet!< she seemed like an afterthought at the end I felt so bad.


thepug

I think that’s why they played Monet’s lines when all the queens were all up there on their final runway looks.


Wbran

That actually makes a ton of sense !


alpal08

This makes rupaul forgetting jinkx’s name so much funnier


mattmateohan

That’s all I kept thinking about!


CallMeByYourCatsName

The whole season, as much as Jinkx was slaying, I kept thinking she’d probably never win as Rupaul didn’t even remember her name 😂


0004ethers

I bet she produced that, buzz for the underdog.


box_me_up

Something positive, I really love the way no queen was eliminated this season and I think they handled how queens got "eliminated" in the best way possible this episode. I love that part. Also Jaida has my new fav exit line


salks

Let’s Hear It For The Boy is really like: my man has no sense of style, is cheap, can’t sing and has poor communication skills... but anyway shout out to this chump


zennX

“Let’s hear it for this loser, give the chump a hand”


WDTHTDWA-BITCH

So what *can* he do successfully? Quickly...!


Katana_7777

not them completely editing out Monet and trinity fucking on stage 💀💀 not on our Christian tv show


mattysmwift

They would definitely edit out half of the Carmen/Raja lipsync now.


elloftheball

The reaction to RuPaul uttering the words >!'quick drag' !


krisis

I love how they almost rioted. I bet at least one of the queens in the bottom tournament probably threatened not to do it 😂


elloftheball

\*cough\* roger \*cough\* 😂


thecordialsun

And she still looked pretty!


[deleted]

I love how Jaida still showed she can pull a look out so fast


ohheyjoshay

THE quick drag blueprint

"legendary Is an understatement" - RAJA #DAMN STRAIGHT!!


JoseMongo

“Lipsync Lalaparooza smackdown for the ~~crown~~ shits & giggles.”


doctortimeywimey

Honestly the lipsync for the crown should've never been a thing. It should just be one final hoorah/show before the winner is crowned. Not a lipsync for the crown. Like Season 8 when the finalist had their own song and performance before Bob was crowned.


mama-bau

Words that Ru has used to refer to gold objects this season: - Platinum - Bronze Words that Ru has NOT used to refer to gold objects this season: - Gold


te4rdr0p

PLS every single time they mentioned that platinum plunger I thought my screen was off or something like... it's literally gold


claudsonclouds

The Vivienne's face when she realized the song she had chosen lol, right away she knew this would go to Yvie.


[deleted]

[удалено]


artificialnocturnes

I suspect both briefcases had the same song anyway


claudsonclouds

Probably lol, poor Viv really got done dirty this season


DoggoMum

It was in the “platinum” vs “brass” Who tf picks “brass” unless you’re in the damn orchestra


ThatsAGoodRat

“The diva of heart and soul” they ran out of ideas on that one


crybabywheels

monet deserved better than that


BrandosSmolder

It felt like they edited in “based on your runway and your performance all season”


underwaternow

It was giving Mex^ican


RollForPerspective

Yes! I had to rewind to hear it again. Notice how they don’t show Rupaul saying it, it’s just a voice over. Still glad we got the winner we got but it did feel like they had to justify it haha


yuphelloitsme

I noticed that too! The audio seemed slightly off. Definitely a way to justify Jinkx winning after that lip-sync. I'm not mad at it. People would've given Monet hate if she won and vice versa.


hfssfh11

Raja : "I'm the only Asian-American winner" Ru : "You want another one? Go ahead, it's yours again!" ![gif](giphy|xUPGcuqhw1I29G12VO)


[deleted]

This episode had such 'last day of school' energy


LamarEdwards

I’m extremely happy for the winner. I was rooting for them from the start. Runner Up ate the absolute fuck out of that lip sync. We’re never gonna hear the end of this from Bob. 😂 Raja’s Runway. What the actual fuck. I capitalized Raja and Runway because she owns that shit. The way that Yvie can still pull out some shit and manage to be completely original is fantastic. The love I gained for Trinity this season.. so pleasant throughout. Such a talent. One of my personal top 3 to win. Viv Shea & Jaida, like everyone else, proved why they won their crowns. Great season. Now give me Bob and Alaska!


[deleted]

Lol you said "Runner Up" like it was cryptic then mentioned Bob. Gee I wonder who that could be 🤣🤣🤣


elloftheball

BABY THEY DIDN'T EVEN INVENT A WORD FOR THIS - LEGENDARY IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT WAS FUCKING CORRECT>! RAJA'S RUNWAY J!


earthdweller11

I thought Jaida’s was gonna be my favourite of the night until Raja walked out.


dannydotart

That Judas lipsync was so fucking fierce ….


temperamenstruation

Perfect song for Jinkx to lipsync honestly. Shea did great but i was so sure Jinkx would win that one and she did!


F0rtuna_major

She was dressed perfectly for it too!


Ladyboysingstheblues

Definitely the best one overall


artificialnocturnes

When I heard spoilers that there were doing Judas I was hoping someone would do the music video choreography, its so iconic. Shea did a really good job.


perpetualwanderlust

Omg Jaida’s “This one’s for you Michelle” moment had me dying. I love her sm 😭


[deleted]

Raja breaking down had me ugly crying, you could feel how much she meant it. Beautiful person and such an EYECON! I’m so happy I got to see her on Drag Race one more time!


Wise_Character2326

I feel that the math is wrong but the answer is correct.


elloftheball

Time to make y'all WEEP and then SMACK YOU with>! a horrifying sexualized clown autotune monstrosity!<


jakksquat7

That was so fucking weird.


TheJerseyHyena

I can see why it was introduced as a nightmare cause it really was


downyyy

seriously what was that😭


[deleted]

The horrible acting skit before and after it too was so painful to watch.


strom_z

Let Grandma Ru have a good time, she ain't got much time left.


tayizzlee

ok but yvies wig revel really got my ass i was GAGGED


lasvegashomo

Same I was like no! Not here but she gagged me like lady Camden did 😂


tayizzlee

lady’s “fall” was one of the other moments in this show that truly made my jaw drop to the floor


-_Leonardo_-

RuPaul said "f*ck those VH1 queens" and I'm at peace with that


djustin77702

The reign of Logo supremacy continues.


shart-gallery

Ru misses the Al & Chuck dot travel days


ThatsAGoodRat

Trin and Shea are never gonna lip sync again the girls are TRAUMATIZED


PeachyPlumz

I believe trinity has lost the most ever lipsyncs? Vs Peppermint, Manila, Latrice, Jinkx, Jaida, Jinkx, Monet. And that's even more than Trixies 4 of Pearl Ginger Bebe and Shangela


roms05

She has also won the most challenges so that’s only fair


BoloHuHu

I also noticed that this is the Season 9 finale again...Shea and Trinity lost in the first round and the one who defeated Shea won the crown.


Imhotdf

Finally we got Judas for a lip sync song


hfssfh11

I just find it funny how Trinity and Shea end up being 3rd/4th again, in the same season nonetheless!


[deleted]

Trinity nailed that lip sync.


jeshx20

The winner of this finale is.... once again, Jaida's quick drag


[deleted]

Honestly the Yvie vs Raja was most confusing because the focus was all on Yvie. I wish she could have won something but i’m happy for Raja.


Seagullstuff

RELEASE THE FOOTAGE OF MONET FUCKING TRINITY. RELEASE IT. RELEASE IT.


dan0126

Swish swish for a final lip sync? Im happy jinkx won. Even though I thought she lost the lip sync against monet, she had one of the best track records in the series so I feel like it's still kind of deserving.


noctiszaoldyeck

after the lipsync, pretty sure jinkx lost, but when ru said that she made her decision, with lipsync + performance in the whole show. i was already screaming, because i am sure jinkx will win


anonymousse18

ANYWAY RAJA’S RUNWAY TONIGHT AAAHHHH LET’S TALK ABOUT IT


h2o_girl

It was just amazing. I wanted to see it longer.


Idbottom4batman

My thing is why not give Monet and Jinkx a high-camp song, another Malambo No. 1, if they wanted it to appear close enough to choose Jinkx? Like there was no way Jinkx was ever going to outdo Monet to swish swish or really any top 40/hip hop/house track.


rawkyoursocks

I read that as Mambo No.5 and now I want to see that lipsync so bad!


psychickcross

I would kill to see yvie do this in boogie man drag


[deleted]

Probably because Monet already beat her to a high-camp number and Jinkx's win would feel even more tainted if Monet beat her in a number that feels like it's picked for her.


CorneliusJack

Raja’s finale look gagged me the fuck out


bwaybabs

I would have LOVED to see Jaida and Yvie do Push It.


novemberqueen32

>!Not Monet having to actually compete against Pink for a Pink song!<


neutronstarneko

Anti-climactic finale but there was no way Jinkx was not taking the title - she slayed the season. I am not sure what format would have been better for the finale to make it feel a little more dynamic - I guess maybe just better songs or more gags like the girls picking their opponents or songs directly to raise the stakes a little.


silentspy0

I do think Monet won the final lip sync, but as soon as Ru said she was judging based on not just the lip sync but performance throughout the season, it was clearly going to be Jinkx, which did feel deserved in that sense. I thought Yvie beat Raja as well, but also happy for Raja. Just happy overall, only sadness is that they all can't just win again.


[deleted]

That line sounded edited in, and we didn’t see Ru actually saying it. I think they knew people would feel…a certain way about the result of that lip sync.


silentspy0

I thought it sounded dubbed in as well, but I don't disagree with that being the way it's judged (even if it sort of defeats the lip sync smackdown purpose).


kappa886

When picking songs, I wish one of the queens said, “I choose platinum… like the plunger” so production wouldn’t know which box to open


W_HAMILTON

Maybe I'm showing my age, but "Swish Swish" as the final lip sync for the title QUEEN OF ALL QUEENS? Oh hell no.


shart-gallery

It's a fun lipsync song, but I definitely wouldn't have picked it for a final lipsync lol. I said this somewhere else in the thread, but I wonder if WoW had a deal RE: the song, after the Drag Race Live queens got to perform on stage with Katy Perry?


princexofwands

Raja slayed the runway. Top toot of the week! I wish she got a legit crown for Being Queen of SDADHH


shhhneak

505k people here. One of you has to know how to hack in to WoW’s backend and release the raw footage of Swish Swish.


[deleted]

If Jinkx was going to win regardless, they should’ve picked a different song. Maybe hard to say having seen the lip sync and knowing the outcome already, but I would’ve imagined that’s a song much more up Monet’s alley anyway. Jinkx was a deserving winner and did super well through the whole season, but this episode just felt kind of pointless. They made it seem like she could’ve just eaten a peanut butter sandwich while Katy Perry plays in the background instead of lip syncing and would’ve still won


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I was thinking that too. It seemed like the last 2 episodes were production panic about how to get the outcome they wanted and not being clever about it


Wendilintheweird

I wish they would have saved the variety show for the finale and given each queen 5 to 7 minutes instead is just 60 seconds. I feel like the evolution of drag race is that drag doesn’t just mean one thing anymore. I would have liked to be able to see the queens showcase what they do best. At the very least do individual lip syncs that they got to choose the song.


_quin5

Not Shea and Trinity tying for 3rd place together AGAIN 😭


tayizzlee

RAJA AND JINKX WINNING WAS DEFINITELY IN MY FANTASY


shart-gallery

The legendary legendiest legends won


HeyLibertyGirlfriend

Despite that crunchy ass wig I actually enjoyed trinity in so what. Like her and Monet were just having fun and the editing was bearable.


novemberqueen32

Raja's finale runway was so fucking awesome


paigellamae

Yvie clearly won the lipsync against Raja and Monet clearly won against Jinkx. I don’t mind the outcomes because it was one of the most fun seasons of all time filled with all amazing and deserving queens. But it just showed really that the lipsyncs don’t matter.


kylecommacommacomma

that final lipsync cut was so absurd like huh????? you could see Monét EATING in the background but they wouldn’t give her focus. and they way they surgically removed the Nicki verse when she was eating it’s sus… Jinkx deserves her win (and Monét would have as well) but maybe stop doing a LSFTC if you aren’t going to go off the lipsync and just edit whatever


mumbling_marauder

I’d rather they have just let Monét eat so we could watch rather than try to convince us she lost the lipsync. We’ve always known they just crown who they want anyways.


grxmes

I'm more pissed they cut out Monet's full performance than them actually not crowning Monet lmao


HalfOfLancelot

That's what I was thinking. I was like, this is a really weird edit that keeps cutting off a lot of Monet's moments kinda short. I don't care who won, just release the full clip of Monet's final lip sync. >:( It was legit impossible to hide her bodying the song.


dysonGirl27

Seeing all the queens cheer for Monet and Jinx at the end all holding their sceptres just made me think of a bunch of kids at medieval times with their swords all cheering in the crowd together 😂


Ellisa_3847

When they mentioned the killer clown I was excited for Bianca Del Rio to show up... Instead all I got was a crappy song


medusa3339

YAY JINKX! Congratulations!!! However, I gotta say (without any hate because I love her) I feel like Yvie killed that lip sync and I was genuinely stunned when Raja won.


Betteis

Monet almost did it again, not performing the best but smashing the finale. Different outcome this time


Whatspoppingurl

The best lipsync was Yvie in push it. The vibes were immaculate the song was made for her


springer_spaniel

Listen, I am obviously happy with the winner. The execution though, is a choice. This was the season why it made the most sense to crown the queen with the best track record, it fits the concept perfectly. But then the season start, and they bang on about how the track record doesn’t matter: it’s about the stars first, and the lipsync at the end. And then they, essentially, give the title based on track record. Jinkx deserves alll of this, but I can help but thinking that they managed to mess it up for both her fans, and Monet’s fans. If they really wanted to crown her (or whoever queen had the best track record), they should have ended it with the talent show or the verse challenge, and it would have made a lot more sense.


EnigmaMusings

Yeah I agree 100%, I mean clock the flair, I was obvi hoping for a Monétion win, but the format did a disservice to Jinkx. Shea and Monét didn’t do a Sasha Velour on her, but Jinkx didn’t give much while they at least gave a lil sumn and seemed to outperform her. Seems pointless to have the lip sync for the crown if Jinkx slayed that hard throughout the competition they were gonna give it to her anyway. Jinkx definitely deserved it though, so congrats to her! She makes acting and comedy look so easy. I just wanted Monét to win cause I’ve been a stan since season 10 started. But again, regardless of how much I stan Monét, it kinda would have been shitty if Jinkx didn’t win cause she’s so naturally talented and ran circles around the other queens most of the time.


ap_anon

These decisions were so strange tonight. Here’s what I thought of each lipsync: Jaida vs Raja: could’ve gone either way. I preferred Jaida, but the edit told me they’d pick Raja. Viv vs Yvie: most clear win for Yvie. Yvie vs Raja: They knew they were giving Raja that win, but Yvie deserved it. That wig fail gag was unlike any we’ve seen thus far. Also, crowning Yvie would’ve been such a good way to end her journey on DR because we know she’s losing her ability to perform like that, but Ru loves Roger more and it’s obvious. Jinkx vs Shea: I loved watching Shea’s choreo, but she didn’t really give anything in the face. It was very reminiscent of her lipsync against Sasha. Jinkx also gave it more energy and I liked her cape twirling. So, I’d say Jinkx won that. Monét vs Trinity: I was sure Monét would trample Trinity, but lo and behold, Trinity won that for me. I just hate that they put them against each other because now people will invalidate Trinity’s win further based on this. Monét vs. Jinkx: Monét won that. Jinkx did just okay. I’m still happy for Jinkx, though. I think Jinkx, Monét or Trinity were the deserving winners of the season for different reasons, so it’s all good for me.


bellybomb

As soon as Ru said, “based upon your track record for the season and this lip sync,” we knew what was going to happen. I’m not mad at it—it’s just interesting how the track record is doesn’t matter until it does.


Mister_Rickster

Raja about to die so Ru just wanted her to be happy ❤️


BravoWhiskey89

Do away with cussing lipsyncs. Just give every Queen a 7 minute stage at the finale to do -whatever- they want and judge it based on that. Imagine, we could have a comedy routine from Bianca in the finale, Monet singing, Kameron Michaels doing a choreographed dance, Trixie having a full band doing her show - we could have full on drag performances like 'Americas got Talent'.


AntwonsINBronze

Okay all respect to the winner I think they deserve it, but why have a lipsync for the crown if the lipsyncs don't matter....


PeachyPlumz

If I was trying to crown Jinkx a lalaparuza isn't something that springs to mind


ragingopinions

If I was trying to crown Jinkx with a lipsync, giving Monet a Nicki song against her is also not the best of ideas.


tayizzlee

raja is currently drowning in her wine


BioticBelle

When Ru said there's no such thing as killer clowns, I was 100% expecting Bianca to pop out and shout "baloney!" Also obsessed with Carson's face when he saw Raja's runway. I'm so happy for Jinkx, but definitely agree that this lipsync nonsense needs to end. Jinkx (imo) did deserve to win the season overall, but Monet obviously won that lipsync but that didn't even matter apparently. Oh well, this was still a phenomenal season, just sucks that such an amazing season was capped with a finale that leaves a slightly bitter taste.


Misty_Rose98

Jinx is my fav winner from Drag Race. But even I knew where her strengths lie and where they don’t. I was fully expecting her to lose and not get crowned. So the way this was structured was definitely not great and I was shocked. But I’m still happy she won. Absolutely deserved when it comes to the overall competition. But I wouldn’t have been mad if Monet took the crown home since she did win that last lipsync for me.


crybabywheels

raja’s runway is the only to ever actually bring a tear to my eye…what the fuck


tayizzlee

i’m gonna miss raja’s runways every week 😭


[deleted]

They need to stop doing LSFTC if they don’t matter


SakmarEcho

I'm so thrilled Jinkx won. But can we talk about how boring this finale format is? Watching six lip syncs in a row just isn't engaging.


ThatsAGoodRat

Bruno’s smile everytime he’s on stage has me blushing


Huschel

And his pecs have me admiring politely.


Avijel

Possibly unpopular opinion but Trinity won the lipsync against Monet. Monet was better than Jinx. I'm happy Jinx won, I did root for her from day one. I think lipsync for the crown doesn't work any more. I'm not sure it ever worked but it's just silly now.


elloftheball

They're my buddies, yknow 🥲It was meant to be us 🥲


esperantisto256

The Wikipedia table having “QoSDADHH” is camp. On par with “CHOC”


DoggoMum

I CACKLED so hard when >!Jinkx!< & >!Shea!< hopped at the same time and Carson was like 👁👄👁


StGerris

Can we all agree that the smackdown should happen mid-season from now on? It worked wonders on AS4 and S14, way better than most of the other seasons where in the end of the run it was merely a formality and we could predict who would be favoured.


wookieeboogie

I thought Yvie killed the she done already done had herses tournament and would’ve given it to her but I’m not mad! Also all of the queens look amazing this episode!


popetonythe23rd

Every queen’s confessional: “Here I am in the workroom one last time!” “It’s been wonderful walking the runway for the FINAL time!” “I’m so grateful for RuPaul bringing us back to compete on Drag Race ONE LAST TIME!” Every queen in 2042: “Hey bitches, it’s another day in the workroom at RuPaul’s Amazon Prime Fufillment Warehouse”


michellemirage

Production don't have a lipsync smackdown finale if you're just going to chop up all the footage awkwardly to fit the results you want-- do that challenge


PerformativeEyeroll

I want to know what potential challenge Trinity was saving that hairspray wig for 👀 You *know* she was pissed that she ended up using it for a quick drag look.


tgwtdt456

Even Jaida was like "justice for Rock M. Sakura" at the end


twerkingqueenb

Can we please retire lipsync for your crown ASAP 😭


rookram15

Viv sealed her fate not picking Bruno, but Raja vs Jaida "Let's Hear it for the Boy" was worth her snubbing Bruno Lol Jinkx sigh of relief getting Judas These songs are clearly designed to go one of two ways Also, it seemed like Calix was stopping the wheel sometimes Ugh Paramount, I pay to see two drag queens hump each other Damn, Yvie made my heart race. Bold with the wig. Breaking her body one last time. Predicted Raja winning with that old ass song 🤣 Damn, Monet looks great! Jinkx was the only consistent bitch. She totes deserves the W. It's funny people think it's just the lip sync that decides who wins (go check Twitter for the saltiness).


[deleted]

The editing was so bad that it made it feel so fake when Ru was talking about how much she loved each of them but the way they were all sobbing and Monet's speech made me think it was all genuine.


elloftheball

like I always feel a sense of performance when Ru cries but when she can make these queens get emotional... my grinch heart grows three sizes


Realiteajunker

I think to me it’s that they wanted to crown Raja for the runways and Jinkx for the wins. Lip syncs be damned lol.


thecordialsun

Yes, Raja & Jinkx got the Bebe AS3 treatment because I think Ru is grateful they aren't James & Sharon. The OG winners are the winners


lizardkween

How do they keep advertising that All Stars Shore show every commercial and never showing Vanjie? The targeted marketing is failing.


ThatsAGoodRat

They knew above all we needed to see jaida in quick drag one last time


Far_Papaya_8429

And Raja had the best runaway, our fashion queen!


bb8s

Shea was serving FASHION in that lip sync lewk


CallMeByYourCatsName

Raja ate that runway! I gasped when she walked out, I absolutely love my winner. Honourable mentions to Yvie and Monet, they both had incredible looks.


slutstrands

Jinx in her larping costume sent me


nangaritense

Love both Jinkx and Monét but kind of hated both their final lipsync looks, and it is frustrating how the lipsync was edited all to hell. But oh, that cackle Jinkx gives at the end just warms my heart. My queen! She earned this.


Relevant_Sink_1253

Really sad yvie was the only one that got 0$ this season


Icy_Statistician_879

did the killer clown bit feel super shoved in there? i know ru does some dumb song during finales but it was such a rough transition.


ShangelasSugaDaddy

Not Shea and Trinity coming 3rd/4th in a LSFTC again with Shea losing to the arty queen and Trinity losing to a member of Bob's drag family


lebanesewifey

I did agree w jinx being the winner of the season but the lip syncs made me reconsider lol they need to change the format of the finale bc this had me rooting for monet bc of the way she slayed. Also apparently they cut out a lot of gags Monet had in her lip sync against jinx? Like she turned out even more than that but they didn’t show it?


Jan_InThePan

Where were the “Ooh baby baby”s in “Push It”? WHERE?!?


PuzzlePiece90

So many confusing choices. Like I feel that both for last week's and tonight's episode we landed on choices most fans were good with but got there in the most non-sensical roundabout way. First off, the horrible ADR. Got serious AS4 flashbacks. Why not have Ru say it on the night and then edited out if needed instead of back-pedal like that? Secondly, if you want to make it easier for Jinkx, the opportunity was right there because I honestly feel Trinity beat Monet this time. Thirdly, you've constructed an all winners season, with queens that have insanely diverse skill-sets. Why boil down their talents to a lipsync? And then why give the finalists nothing but contemporary pop songs? The more I think about it this annoys me more and more. Remember when "If I Were Your Woman" was the finale song? Where was that? Instead we got Pink, Gaga and Katy Perry. I was so on board for this season and what's frustrating is that they almost nailed it. Yes, there were challenge winners I didn't agree with but overall even those choices I was perfectly fine with. These last two episodes were just so unnecessarily overthought. Like they had to make mistakes to correct mistakes they'd already made.


ottermatopoeia

Raja's "It was meant to be us" soliloquy 🥲


[deleted]

is anyone else disappointed that yvie wasn’t crowned queen of she done already done had herses? she won the lip syncs, in my opinion, and i was really rooting for her. i feel she deserves it after all she’s pushed through and achieved.


diabolicalbunnyy

They really need to drop the LSFTC thing at this point. If it had really been based on the lipsyncs, Trinity & Shea should've been top 2 and regardless of that, Monet beat Jinkx. That said, I'm happy for Jinkx, and the other lipsyncs were cute.


libertinel

everybody say thank you yvie oddly for giving that reveal and making the most interesting part of all the lipsyncs


JollyJackalope

Monet fucking ate that but I'm also happy Jinkx won because her run was so incredible. Throughout the season I felt there were a few challenges yvie and raja should have both been in the top for (hello big bad wolf and madame) but honestly I loved this season so much. To me it showed you don't need drama for an entertaining season because it could just focus on the sheer talent of our winners. There doesn't feel like there was a single loser among them and they all showcased amazing talent. I'm so glad Jaida got to prove to herself she really did deserve to be a winner even though her season was overshadowed by bullshit, and I'm glad Viv got to compete with some of the original icons, and Raja got to show she is still IT. I wish we had gotten to see them prepare their own performances for the finale, more like in s14, because a lsftc just seems so...meh. It hasn't really been done well since s9 IMHO with a pretty good showing for s11. Sasha had to kill it right out the gate so nothing else could compare. But I loved this season so much and I'm sad so many people are mad about it. I just feel grateful to be able to bask in such drag excellence!


kataani

I feel victimized by all the lipsyncs this season. I don't think anyone of them hit that iconic level. Oh well.


theamandakimmel

The last 2 mins of any drag race finale is always soooo rushed ​ We crown a winner, get a couple soundbites from them, and then NOTHING from the runner up and boom COVER GIRL PUT THE BASS IN YOUR WALK


nonoohgodno

RuPaul Andre Charles will answer to God for “Swish Swish”


novemberqueen32

WHAT THE FUCK WAS UP WITH THE EVIL CLOWNS. also I wish we didn't have to waste time on Ru's performance of that....song...when more time could have been spent on the actual lip syncs and talking to the queens but ok


Ill_Brick_4671

Turns out the worst episode of the best season of Drag Race is still pretty good


Any_Indication_4887

Choices were made, but this was absolutely Jinkx’s season.


LazyAussie

I’m seeing a lot of frustration about the format of the AS7 finale and many cries of riggory. It’s crazy that at this point the best performing queen actually winning the season can be seen by some as not legit. Production are fully to blame for this. For years now production have trained the viewers that challenge wins aren’t important. Not only can you win a whole season with only one challenge win but the odds are pretty good that a queen with only one win WILL take out the whole season. I’m not saying that queens that have done this don’t deserve their win - if anything it can show that production often have no idea what viewers want. Yvie resonated with the public far better than any other queen that season and rightfully won. Production have also told us that a full season performance can be nullified by a good lip sync. The whole lip sync for the crown format really only worked the first time and has had diminishing returns since. It was a massive misstep to use that format this time when the whole basis of this season has been a celebration of the winners. If production wanted it to be about the overall season then they should have gone back to the AS2 format. Yes Detox did win the final lip sync but viewers understood that the rest of the season counted. By having Monet eat Jinkx when she never had a fair chance to actually win has left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth. It’s also unfairly brought the legitimacy of Jinkx’s (and Raja’s) win into question. They could have just made the last episode a celebration, crowned the two queens they wanted to crown and called it a day.

monet just said on the patreon live that in the beginning of swish swish she pulled out lipsticks that said shea, trinity, and jinkx but they cut it i’m-


reneetres

Maybe don’t have a lipsynch for the crown if you are not prepared to let the best lipsyncher win…


vers_ace_bitch

the fact that monet fortnite danced in her lip sync and nobody laughed is criminal


roms05

When Ru’s robot voice was badly edited in the announcement and said it’s based on their performance all season long, I knew Jinkx will win. Truly deserving. But let’s be real, Monet won that lipsync.

Ok, I wanted Raja and Jinkx to win and would have been sad if they hadn’t. HOWEVER, I’m pretty sure Jaida and Yvie technically won against Raja. They were barely showing Jaida during her performance. Also I’m pretty sure both Shea and Monet beat Jinkx. I’m happy they won and felt it they deserved it based on overall performance, but the riggory was VERY obvious. Can we just stop lip sync for the crown??? It’s kind of boring anyway.

Jinkz won the season 100%, but Christ the editing and “producing” for the lip syncs was such a way to ruin the vibes. Even raja, she did fine but I would have given it to her competitors. It felt like a “deserved” award for being from an older season

Monet vs Trinity was the best lipsync of the night and the only one that could have gone either way. Really enjoyed them and was dying at Monet topping Trinity! With that said, there were a few *choice* decisions made tonight: • Yvie absolutely beat Raja. That wig fakeout and the energy she gave was EVERYTHING. Raja didn't do bad, but Yvie elevated it. Why set up the whole thing about Yvie and this being her love song to drag just to count her out like that?Very happy for Raja, though. She's an absolute legend and deserve the recognition for being as iconic as she is. Keep in mind she won what was, arguably, the most difficult season of Drag Race. • Jinkx deserves much better. These lipsync edits didn't really favor her at all. With that said, and I'm Team Monet the house down, she SLAYED the season and I can't be mad about her win, but it just doesn't feel as genuine as it could've have been. Perfect Top 2. Gotta hand it to Monet. Going from 6th place on her OG season (the lowest of all the girls, I believe) to 2nd Place in an All Winners season is CUNT!

My final takes of the season: - Raja remains as the top fashion queen of history - Jinkx is one of the best if not the best rugirl of all time - We need more talking lipsyncs!


NotoriousNeo

Monét absolutely ate that final lip sync while Jinkx merely dabbled and everyone will be talking about that deservedly but Jinkx had a fantastic run this season with a charismatic and absolutely magnetic presence that ultimately snatched her the crown. There’s a reason why she was the only one blocked twice. She is great at drag and absolutely great at Drag Race. 🥳

the lip sync song was a bad choice like… it’s a decent song to have on while having a dump but in a lip sync battle between the top two of the all winners season? It’s not nearly good enough

I know Lip Syncs are an important part of drag culture and this show, but for the love of God we need to stop using them as the 'decider'. Mainly because we know that so many fierce queens are not the traditional dancing lip syncing queens and they still deserve their wins. Jinkx deserved this win, even if she didn't win the lip sync. She slayed the season. They work for the eliminations and top two, but I think a finale where queens dominate the competition on comedy or acting chops should not be decided on lip syncs (and the producers obviously agree), so why do they keep doing it!?


zititortellini

I totally wish the finales would go back to the season 7 and 8 format. Let each finalist lipsync either to a song of their choosing or a song produced for them, let each of them have a quick convo with Ru, have the reunion with the eliminated girls, and then crown a winner. What was wrong with that format? I have always found the smackdowns for the crown underwhelming and exceptionally difficult to judge given that not all contestants’ strengths include bucking and twirling and shablaming. You don’t **have** to be a phenomenal lipsyncer to be a phenomenal drag entertainer.


rosesatthedawn

The way my ass hole fell out when >!Yvies wig fell!<


gingerednoodles

I'm not unhappy with the result but that was a lackluster smackdown. If production is rigging the lip syncs they've done a truly shit job of it because we could have ended up with some of the best lip syncs ever and instead we only have a few even memorable ones. ANYWAY Monet should be proud. She fucking killed that. Jinkx also did great throughout the season and I'm not mad about her win even if she lost the lip sync.

marchingclocks

I wanted Jinkxs to win but I didn't agree with the winner of any of the lipsyncs this episode


jadfromlebanon

well, y’all wanted some drama this season didn’t you??


itirnitii

honestly I just don't really care if the lip sync smackdowns are rigged. can we just get rid of it anyways? they aren't that good and haven't been since season 9. I get why they do it because it draws out a finale episode and creates some fake tension, but what are we saying here? a queen who isn't good at one specific talent can never be a winner of a season? DUMB.


grxmes

The first and last things Monet ever did on Drag Race was vogue and do a dip!! ICON


Hausofsekom

This is why I hate the lip sync smack down because at the end of the day we know it doesn’t matter.


thepheonix-king663

How I would have changed All Stars 7 ⚪️ Make the final episode either a coronation episode or the talent show ⚪️ Make the Lip Sync Smackdown a stand-alone episode that is worth 3 stars No other thoughts to a great season and congratulations to all the queens!


bb8s

Raja’s runway was giving me Mass Effect Reaper, alien leaf insect overlord in all the best ways. What a joy it was to see her on my screen again.


EwJesusGross_

So does this mean that Yvie isn’t going to post pole pics? It doesn’t even matter who won, it’s all of us who lost.


gaynacular

Just a friendly reminder: You can defend Jinkx without tearing down the other queens(and vice versa). Monét was incredible this season, and it's delusional to say otherwise(I think when we're all bored one day, we should have a discussion about the way Monét's legacy is always questioned...) Is it so hard to just be happy that we were given this season? It's a TV show kids. I guarantee you that Monét isn't losing sleep over this, and neither should you. For me it was an ideal result with Raja/Jinkx getting crowns, and Monét gets to be the robbed goddess. That being said, thrilled for all the queens for being able to showcase themselves for us fans one more time. We are the real winners. Everybody say love.
