![]() ![]() The theme of Kylie’s season has been surprises. Personally, hers was my favourite performance, and paired with her ultra-cute Hot Dog on a Stick-inspired runway, I’d have given her the win this week. She expertly threaded the needle with Alec by highlighting how far she’s come since she last saw him, and she won over the fawning guest judge, Justin Simien. She did a great job setting up her success, what with her story about a bad experience reading in front of her eighth grade class. This was a fabulous final episode edit for her, as she got rave reviews for yet another challenge type that we may not have expected her to thrive in. Look, call me a delusional fan, but I really think Kylie’s got this. It was a solid look, but the presentation really took it over the top. Her Oops! runway, a take on a series of hair straightener incidents, got a unanimously positive response from the panel. Alec Mapa gave Ginger a really good note, that a monologue shouldn’t sound like writing, and I’m not sure Ginger really took it. ![]() But Carson Kressley noted that it came across a bit too polished. ![]() Kind of a muted final note for Ginger considering how strong she’s been all season, no? I personally loved Ginger’s monologue-it was exactly the right mix of vulnerable and funny. But if she does indeed claim the crown, there will be no question that she deserves it. It’s those small moments in the edit that have me skeptical we’re headed for a Ra’Jah win. One moment that stuck out in the workroom: she started to explain what a win would mean after her experience in Season 11, only for Eureka! to seemingly cut her off to have a moment with Trinity. She would be a very fitting winner come next week’s finale.Īs to whether she will win: I think her status as the season’s narrator and early frontrunner help her, but I do think we’re still being deprived of seeing her firmly make the case for her victory. After being cast as the villain in Season 11, Ra’Jah won over the crowds with positivity, openness, and some really excellent (and all self-made!) drag this season. More than anybody in this final four, Ra’Jah feels like the embodiment of this season’s mission: true Rudemption. Had that happened, it would’ve been a tragic final cut, since Ra’Jah has done so well throughout the competition. Indeed, when Eureka! said that Trinity wasn’t where their mind first went during deliberations, I assumed they were talking about eliminating Ra’Jah instead. Everyone was strong this week, and had Trinity fought harder to stay-especially with Eureka! being the decision-maker-things easily could have gone very wrong for the purple-loving queen. And while I liked most of her monologue, this was a bad time to make any kind of standout error. Owing to her pause at the start of her performance, Ra’Jah pretty clearly did the worst in the challenge. ![]()
