Symone hit the nail on the head and its funny to see which girls get it and which dont. She literally gave a lesson in economics and socialism through fashion with a simple combo of classic items like a white tee and jeans, when mixed with the juxtaposition of drag itself and being a "man" dressing as a woman, but still looking like a "man" and a "gay man" at that is the GAG. To further my initial point, she is also a TRUE street girl and club kid, she doesnt need the overspend because drag isnt about that, its about self expression through the lens of fashion. WE get it Symone!

This post is me trying to make people like Rebecca Glasscock's enterance look

This is no longer true for regular seasons lol. 

Sasha, Aquaria, Yvie, Jaida, Symone, Willow...all won their last lipsync fairly (or because the second place did worse, like Camden having that wig fuckup). 

The only OBVIOUS production-guided decision in the post s8 finales has been Aquaria's tie with Eureka (Eureka completely destroyed her). 

I don't believe Willow won her last lipsync, I don't believe Aquaria won her last lipsync and I think Jaida should have been eliminated right after that lazy Get Up lipsync in her living room. I don't even remember what she did during the last lipsync, she's a very middle of the road dancer.

 

I'll say this, Kameron Michaels could have pulled a So Emotional during the last lipsync and she STILL wouldn't have won. It's all a myth.

The way you can tell that Camden knew she wasn’t winning. It’s actually a little sad

Damn, Miss Camden ACTUALLY seemed dissapointed. Imagine winning 4 challenges + the finale lipsync and still losing to a 1 win queen. Maybe it IS time for Rupaul to retire ?

Everyone at the finale said Willow and Aquaria won the last lipsync. Aquaria did lose to Eureka during their first lipsync though. 

 

And with Jaida... Gigi was almost disqualified -- next to her tone deaf comments and not being political during one of the most important election years it was easy to see why she lost. 

[Relampago.]

The way opinions are being presented as objective facts in this thread

 

Who “won” is largely subjective unless it’s a Sasha-level stomp. I would say Camden being crunch wrap supreme in the entire finale lost her the season but others wouldn’t feel that way. 
 

At the end of the day, production is gonna crown their most marketable queen, and all contestants should know this going into the show. If they don’t.. well that’s on them. 

[Bicassie]

Willow was always meant to win this season lol

The person with the winner’s edit almost always wins unless something unexpected happens. 

[lovecatt]

Naomi was so ******* funny on the pitstop 

[Unoriginal]

jaida dogwalked crystal and gigi and just dancing in her living room. no disqualifiable rented warehouses, no vomiting into your own mouth, pure talent and presence

Camden looks so depressed in this video

Sis knew she lost since she fumbled that wig reveal

 

It’s giving Asia O’Hara vibes with the depression 

[Stan]

Im just now watching the episode, and I really can’t with Symones segment. Very much reminding me of her Roast, the cringe is real

Theres been 12 years of cis men winners with no problems and you’re throwing a tantrum over 2 trans winners in a row 

 

 

My posts always entail blatant sarcasm and humor. Wow. Y’all really are uptight and very sjw-extreme. Gay culture never was like this.   It’s still like this outside of Reddit, this thread and the WOW + paywall.   Don’t y’all just find it funny that suddenly after years of trans visibility within gay culture, y’all suddenly too had an awakening.  Very Hillary Clinton and Obama being poll tested with being pro gay marriage. Hence why neoliberal entity rupaul llc really done f up drag and the politics of the art form.  Where were all of y’all in 2009?  Ooh.

My perception is that in the last years they’re throwing wins to who they feel is less likely to win as a consolation prize. If they’re in the US they also get money from each win which is a big plus.

I agree. The way almost all of the girls managed to get at least one win nowadays when they were a lot more elusive in the earlier seasons/more indicative of competition dominance kind of skew the track record narrative because the judging is typically broken for the sake of showing the girls with little win equity mercy.

She truly relied only on STAR POWER, no gimmicks, no put on personas.

I love when I come to this thread and see Jaida stanning. She deserves all her flowers. Beautiful inside and out

I knew it was sarcasm but where was the humour? Cry about sjws all you want but since when was “gay culture” ever about trashing trans women   Hating a minority is not a culture babe.
Anyways I was much too young to vote much less be watching RPDR in 2009 but thanks grandpa on the history lesson.  

 

But I can agree Willow is mediocre. Not for being trans but for fizzling into the background from episode 3.

You can’t say “white people” anymore on this thread bc apparently it’s problematic and it’s obsessive of labels. Also no more politics in drag threads.  I got a warning point for getting off topic with politics (a Nancy pelosi mod?).  Funny I thought drag WAS a political statement. Nope.

 

she really is that girl . 
 

Daya> Willow Plan b pill. At this point I would have preferred anyone but Willow as winner.  Willow is already setting up to be the most boring winner in rpdr history. Shea, Sasha and Trinity are safe now. (Damn all from season 9 ) What we witnessed was her apparent peak. 
 

Also congrats to the last man to ever be crowned anything on Drag race. Since Symone’s win, we’ve only had trans winners. Sonique kornbread Willow. Y’all better strategize now girls. Start saying you trans, and find a disability or crutch. Something that garners woke points from the Hollywood neoliberal press.  Is crippling depression a disability bc the rape stuff had no effect on getting ru to empathize  with you. (Looks at Blair st Clair)  It’s not trendy anymore since Gags made that song.  

 

edit. The only thing I can fault DAYA with is what Naomi pointed out. The tongue lip licking.  Stop it.

I used to be a track record purist on Drag Race stuff but in the latest seasons there's a real disconnect between whoever had the "best track record" and who the actual stars are. I don't know if it's just a failure on the editors or the showrunners for not realizing who has IT earlier and judging accordingly, or if the format of drag race is just so stale that it's easy to game the system for some queens.

 

Like, going by track record we'd have the likes of Rosé, Ella Vaday and Lady Camden as winners and that's tragic. 

 

I think that, with some exceptions (Bimini), the right winners have been crowned.

I think part of it is just that the “BFA” queens are very easy to slate into a runner-up spot. They do well in the challenge so you don’t really really have to exaggerate to give them a win, but they also usually lack personality so people don’t think they’re super robbed when they lose. They’re there to be the rival for the more popular queen. 
 

You could swap Camden, Rosé, and Ella into each other’s seasons and nothing would change, cause they’re basically the same archetype.

Who’s trashing or hating trans women?  Show me where I trashed Willow sonique or kornbread or anyone this season specifically for being trans? I mock the fandom’s sudden awakening specifically and not these queens.  The same way this thread tells Latinos that we are idiots for thinking Puerto Rican/Mexican queens are treated unfairly, same applies to trans women. No special treatment right??  We are only critiquing their craft. Yes Willow fizzled. Yes Willow was overhyped and payola’s. That is why i don’t like her as a winner and that’s not an attack on trans women.  I liked her from the beginning and then Camden provee s superior talent. Just facts. Nothing more.

What am I bitter about specifically? Indulge me

Make me laugh you’re probably more funny then me.

Jaida with Gigi, Symone, and Angie is so amazing to see. My boo is WORKING now, its nice to see her get the WOW treatment lately: Vegas lead, hosting gigs, AS7.

She really had the worst reign, didn't she?   Time for some rudemption!

Do we know who's hosting the Pitstop for AS7 btw. Hopefully the guests are as good as Monéts
