Navyofbadgals Posted April 17, 2024 Posted April 17, 2024 If it really is like her destroying Sapphira then she has to win like, they cut Plane for having the least impressive number so it's only fair to once again judge on performance. I also feel like it won't help Sapphira if she wins despite losing the lip sync that being said the tea could also be exaggerated so we'll see but #teamNymphia 3

Nickimeetsatrl Posted April 17, 2024 Posted April 17, 2024 Yeah I don't see Nymphia destroying Sapphire

Nickimeetsatrl Posted April 17, 2024 Posted April 17, 2024 (edited) Sapphira deserves to win, she did much better and honestly, we don't need to see her on Drag Race again unless it's a winners season. I feel like she showed us everything she can offer. Nymphia on the other hand feels like she has so much more potential. She can have one of the most iconic runs on an All Stars season. I prefer Nymphia but I don't think it's her time. Edited April 17, 2024 by Nickimeetsatrl 2 1
Antonini Posted April 17, 2024 Posted April 17, 2024 Nymphia might as well win. Sapphira is not an interesting presence. And if Planes not winning then I guess it's nymphia. 1 1
Save The Day Posted April 17, 2024 Posted April 17, 2024 No tea but i agree with what was said about Nymphia coming back to all stars. This feels like Sapphira's moment. Hope this is just another "Anetra wins" fakeout

qurl Posted April 17, 2024 Posted April 17, 2024 ya my main thing that was making me want Sapphira to win was how much she probably spent on her runway package , whereas Nymphia created a lot of her own $h!t but if she's getting close to $50k with challenge win money, winning miss congeniality AND getting a consolation 25k i think Nymphia's taking it i really doubt they would split the Miss Congeniality for the first time ever to make Sapphira win it/get money from it too and then crown her 1
Nickimeetsatrl Posted April 17, 2024 Posted April 17, 2024 Personally Plane deserved the win the most 🤭

I'm not sure what the queens get paid but I'd be shocked if anyone who made the top 3/4 on a regular US season ended the year their season airs with less than $200k of income before taxes (touring, merch sales, cameos, club gigs, WoW shows, ect.). It's the early/mid-season outs that probably have more difficulty making their initial investments back.

dumbsparce Posted April 17, 2024 Posted April 17, 2024 I don't get all this storyline and arc talk. This is a "reality" show sure but it's not a telenovela either. Good track record, fan support and an annihilation at the final lipsync are more than enough to justify anyone winning. Would it make your viewing experience less exciting if the winner is someone who wasn't "set up" to win? 3

Rigalo Posted April 18, 2024 Posted April 18, 2024 Maybe it's because I watch all the international seasons too but imo the only thing you really need to do to "deserve" the crown is make it to the last episode i don't see them crowning Sapphira as the winner and Miss C

Lexiel Posted April 18, 2024 Posted April 18, 2024 I am Team Nymphia. Been breaking wind with my banana mama since day ONE. But this is undeniably Sapphira's crown. And that's fine, she's an immaculate queen. What I feel most of the fandom belives is that she lacks an edge. IDK I find her to be amazing and the only true possible successor to Sasha.
