I love Trixie and I loved the final lipsync, but I don't understand at all why shangela wasn't top two. Especially after the long shot video where she was working it

Also Trixie's outfit reveal felt underwhelming to me. Like oh you're wearing a shorter dress underneath. cool.

she lost because she was up her own rear end this entire season and the jury of her peers got to choose.

Trixie's reveal was great; highfalutin' bathrobe to mod dress was her style in a nutshell and a total delight.

It's your fault, man.
It's just really disappointing that neither of the clear frontrunners were even in the final two. No Bendela, no Shangela - what's the point in crowning a winner?

How the jury voted:

https://twitter.com/RuPaulsDragRace/status/974471638308806661

One vote for Shangela. That's just wrong. Bebe got one first-place vote and Shangela got one second-place vote. The rest were Kennedy and Trixie, with Kennedy getting the most first-place votes.

DeLa is my overall favorite, so I wasn't going to get my winner anyway (well, officially...) but I liked Shangela and was rooting for her after DeLa dropped out.

Lol were they just all salty that Shangela send them home? Honestly Shangela and Ben were the only people I could see being the All Stars winner.
Trixie is a lovely lipsyncer and I doubt she won based on what ever that was.

Shangela was robbed and these gimmicks that keep the most deserving contestants from taking home the crown need to die. I know everyone's a winner because everyone gets to up their booking fees, but if we're going to just have every RPDR winner be the one that teenage girls and network executives think is the most marketable (read: safest and most Caucasian), cancel the show now. Also, Trixie is the first winner since Tyra who tanked at Snatch Game. I don't even think her placement in the top 2 was entirely undeserved, I just think that how she got there was some bippidy boppidy bullshit.

You can't have a format like this and then be surprised when what happened happened.

The real question is that if they have All-Stars 4, will they change the setup? You can't have the Queens do the elims, you can't have Ru run the elims... what do you do?

Shangela wasn't robbed. Yeah she can dance, but Kennedy dances better. Yeah she's funny, but Trixie and bendela are funnier. She's the bridesmaid of the season.

The jury of peers pretty obviously picked Kennedy and Trixie because they were straight up in their interviews while BeBe and Shangela were shady.

Trixie is awesome and you're being silly if you're acting like the season is a joke because she won.

That's how I felt about season 9 and how I feel about this.

I'm fine with Trixie winning. But she should have won againsr Shangela. It was going to be one of those two no matter what.

Man, what a weird loving roller coaster, this season. Started off hoping for a Trixie win, curled into a fetus while Trixie floundered in the background only to come back and win via an astonishing amount of luck.

It's like one step above Violet flatlining her way to the top.

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

Kind of a flaccid finale

I don't particularly care who takes the crown, but this Survivor-style finale isn't a good fit for the show and came out of nowhere, so it soured the whole episode for me. I left feeling "um, okay that sure happened" rather than "wow what a season"

Also Milk, your cute idea of the yarn being threaded through your skin would read better if you criss-crossed your lips.

EDIT: BEBE DID NOT DANCE WHATSOEVER DURING THE DANCING COMPETITION. At the very most she's Andy Richter in Cabin Boy.

Football? Yaaaay
I'm SHOCKED.

When they pulled Kennedy's lipstick first I was like, ok, Shangela vs. Kennedy, that'll be a fierce lip sync but I was as shocked as Trixie when they said her name second. I agree with cis autodrag, it was the interviews. Bebe gave some bullshit pageant answers (why does it seem like she's never sincere?), Kennedy's interview made me root for her hard, Shangela came off like she didn't want it as bad, Trixie was honest as hell.

I thought Shangie was gonna win, and I was pulling for her hard, but she didn't and that's ok. I'm proud of Trixie (and listening to her new album right now, poo poo's good).

Also Milk's look loving sucked, the yarn??? on her eyelashes was really grossing me out. Bebe's runway was lame too, too predictable and not half as exciting as the other girls. If that's your best drag then it's not great, Bebe.

Shangela should have walked in on that jury, sat in the chair and offered each girl she eliminated ten thousand dollars before taxes.
