I’ll just go over all the details of the Reunion and Grand Finale here.
Spoilers, absolutely. This is about Rupaul's Drag Race S10, by the way. So I want to just cover a few things first.
Shannel, Nina Flowers and Ongina all looked great.
*Bebe also looked pretty good but I’ve seen her recently in AS3 so.
There aren’t many season 10 queens who didn’t look good. Even then, it’s not the makeup or anything. Some of the outfits are just bland or don’t fit.
Top 4 all show up looking great.
As far as the lip syncs. Eh. Janet Jackson isn’t a favorite for me, and I feel like these weren’t as rewatchable as Sasha’s or basically anything Latrice Royale or Coco Montrese ever got their hands on.
They all showed up gimmicky, of course, because Sasha won that way and the other queens didn’t really have many stops to pull out.
Asia probably had the most creative and yet lackluster reveal. Yes, there were real butterflies. It was an idea. She tried. Nasty probably isn’t the right song for it.
Kameron just had a piece of fabric over a one peice and yeah, I guess I didn’t love or hate it. Just bleh.
Aquaria’s wasn’t my favorite. It was like a nude homage to Vivacious (can we get her on All Stars, by the way?) or Miss Fame. I guess it wasn’t....so bad. She probably could have avoided looking like a fucking burrito, though.
Eureka probably had the most typical yet crowd-pleasing gag. Wig under wig. Big ugly Grimmace fur suit over a pretty nice red thing? Then a body suit.
Eureka kills for someone her size, by the way. Kicking and splitting and doing whatever she was doing. I’m amazed.
So Asia is the only one eliminated because yeah. I mean, I guess in the end it should have been Aquaria v. Kameron, but Ru seems to have this thing for Eureka that I kind of admire because nah, I don’t hate her, either. I think she gets shit just like Ginger Minj did and I also think she’s funny and fucking capable of entertaining a crowd so fuck every last one of you hating bitches. Bring it to my inbox.
**ALSO JUST REMEMBERED YUHUA WAS STUN.**
In the end, Aquaria wins because she’s not only talented, but also the safe bet here. We don’t even want to remember how shook we all were when Shea Coulee didn’t win.
Also, I fully believe Ru could have picked Eureka, but she’s so wildly unpopular with fans. Kameron would have been unpopular due to her streak on the show.
Anyway, Aquaria wins and the version of me who posted the last thing I tagged as “RPDR” is very proud... because I was scared after I picked Shea to win in the beginning of S9 and she didn’t.
ALSO. I like how they changed the Miss C. voting to be by the queens. No more fan favorite, huh? I think we would have all voted Monet in, anyway though.
So now I want to explain the finale and the reunion. The reunion was filmed AFTER the Finale. This explains why The Vixen is so happy again (this did this last season, too which probably explains why Shea was so fucking done with it all.) I wish they would just play the reunion the way it’s filmed (after the finale) because I want to hear the thoughts on the winner. I guess in retrospect, it also makes sense why Asia is so snappy with Ru and why Aquaria is just shutting the fuck up over there.
