SYMONE DRAG RACE 13 PLUS

Her runway looks were…questionable at best, the judges read other girls for better outfits than Kandy’s ‘pockets’, ‘alien’ runway and even her finale looks.

What am I missing? She’s not a bad lip syncer. The looks will stay memorable for years to come. Using her outfits to send messages and drive the point across on issues today is genius. Her looks, performance in challenges were great throughout the season. Especially the deep voice to Hilton-voice switch when they ‘started filming’. Her story is inspiring, even if she didn’t win, she slayed! I’m not the biggest Paris Hilton fan, but her impersonation was great. Gottmik’s runway looks were gorge all season and didn’t disappoint in the finale. Otherwise, had she gone ahead, yeah Rose would win. It wouldn’t have been good to see her further injure herself in another lip sync. And it’s also likely Rose’s ankle injury had something to do with the early elimination.

But I’d have been happier without the disappointing unravelling of this season’s finale.Īs much as I would’ve liked to see Rose win this thing, Ru wasn’t going to choose Rose after having chosen a Scottish Queen as the winner of UK Drag Race. Symone, lovely and talented – thought not, I thought, in the same league as Gott and Rose. Gott grew on me all season – a super person and star. Some terrific artists were lost on the way to the final while Kandy laboured on. Of course, I don’t wish her badly, but she needs to self reflect, have more humility and show grace and kindness to others. Her ‘vulnerability’ was scarcely to be seen, unless uncovered by her attacking others and her vacant answer to the question why she wanted to buy a boat if she won, captured her lack of substance to a tee.

So much talent on display, but Kandy’s shallow, selfish, and egotistical behaviour plus her predictable approach to drag made it hard to watch. Of course, we all have personal preferences, but Kandy’s progress through the competition robbed some of the pleasure in watching. How well did you predict the results of Friday’s grand finale? Drop a comment with your thoughts below.Ī big fan of Ru and Drag Race, in general, but (had to be a but coming) this finale was a disappointment. (As for Miss Congeniality, that honor was, indeed, bestowed upon LaLa Ri. When the dust and glitter settled, RuPaul made the big announcement: The winner of Season 13 is… Symone! Their fates were ultimately determined by way of Britney’s “Till the World Ends,” a ferocious battle that required both competitors to leave everything on the stage. Lip sync number two found Symone going up against Gottmik in a fierce battle set to Britney’s “Gimme More.” It was a close call, but Symone was pronounced the winner, knocking Gottmik out of the competition.Īnd just like that, we were down to Kandy Muse and Symone as the final two queens of Season 13. The Top 4 graced the stage for a final runway, a drag ball, showing off their best fashion in the categories “Black and White,” “Red All Over” and “Grand Finale Eleganza Extravaganza.” On a touching note, the finale also featured a heartfelt tribute to Chi Chi DeVayne, who passed away in August.Ī Britney Spears-themed final four lip sync began with Rose and Kandy Muse facing off to the tune of “Work B–ch.” This also gave us the first elimination of the night, as Ru sent Rose sashaying away. The night kicked off with the grande dame herself, RuPaul, performing “New Friends Silver, Old Friends Gold” which set the bar high.
