Great job by the drag race production team to see the immediate impact of Padam Padam on the gay community and correctly identify that a lipsync to this song needs to decide the winner of Ru Paul's Drag Race.

I wanted Nymphia to win but I thought the season was Sapphira's to lose. But while the finale lipsync is often just a conceit, when Nymphia went and did that I think it's hard to argue with the results. So so happy for her :woop:

Her whole season's outfits, unfortunately, were Golden Boots. But WHICH was the worst, goons? Her entrance outfit, although well-meaning, always reminds me of Plane Jane's comment, "I never knew a corset could make someone look bigger."

But I gotta say, I hated her Lil' Kim outfit. Her boobs looked... sad. And for Kim? That's like, 90% of the outfit.

it was her go-home look. concept cribbed from an AI-generated “dragon 1980” google, made sloppily, and mildly lied about (adding the things on the shoulders) is truly next-level bootery, but AI aside I think plasma’s go-home look was the worst of the season

Even with the audience of randos, that was a great finale, minus lack of Golden Boot. Dual MCs was quite a surprise, and that should finally put to rest the debate about whether a finalist can win it.

Nymphia. That boba reveal. Obviously there was gonna be something under that cape, but I still did not see that coming. Then she stripped down even more to show her moves. A bit of Sasha and a bit of Yvie.

A real refreshing finish to a top tier season when the format was starting to feel stale and predictable. I'm gonna miss this cast, but a lot of them are surely gonna grace our screens again.

Yeah that lip sync really cemented it for me.

Why was the finale so small this season?

This and last week's episode were filmed before they even did promos. It's pretty similar to S3 except with an audience and multiple crownings still filmed. I think it was for multiple reasons. Apparently there were concerns about strikes involving crew happening around the time they would normally do a reunion/finale. Last year's finale also had a lot of mishaps, like Anetra's dancer getting injured and Mistress being a diva during the MC handoff. With all that plus the typical amount of leaking an audience full of queens and queer microcelebrities does, they probably decided now was a good time to revamp the format.

I was hard on Nymphia this season but that was a very deserved win. She peaked at the right time and delivered a couple of amazing performances at the end. Queen of Wind is some Lady Gaga poo poo, what a bop. And the boba moment, I'm obsessed.

Ahhhh holy gently caress I was just not ready to root for nymphia over Sapphira and part of me was delusional enough to hope for a double crowning but my loving god that lip synch. What a queen.

I'm satisfied with this ending. Mother Sapphira was crowned Miss Congeniality and won second, so she got some of the flowers she deserved. She's also performing opera this year at the Lincoln Center, she's going to do just fine. I'm looking forward to her turn on All Stars.

Nymphia turned it the gently caress UP for that lip sync! I'm so glad she went with balloons and not butterflies for that reveal.

And yeah I was really struggling to think of who else could possibly win congeniality so I'm glad she got that

The absurd thing is that means that Plane got the worst deal out of literally all the queens. Every other queen had a chance to lip sync for either $50k or $200k. Plane has a subpar solo routine and was done.

I am HERE for it. I want more of her on my TV, and blessed and fully booked? The other queen should just walk out.

Very happy to see Nymphia win. She was lovely the whole way through.


Also I am way more excited for Jane and Sapphira to return in All Stars than I would be for Nymphia, which is really the important part.

I was fully on the Sapphira train leading up to the final lipsync but I cannot deny how loving good Nymphia was. Well deserved winner and being part Asian and growing up in Asia, it’s loving cool to see an Asian winner, especially from Taiwan. Nymphia is probably one of Taiwan’s most internationally famous celebrities or something.
