Yeah, Detox and Raja sort of were in a class of their own last night. It's really sad Detox didn't bring some of that visual chutzpah to the runway during the actual show. She would have been a shoo-in for the finale.

How does the information not leak? Can't anyone buy a ticket to the reunion? And therefore people see it so what's stopping them from leaking it? Am I missing something? Lol

They taped three separate endings again this year. I was hoping they wouldn't, but they went that route. So, nobody knows who won yet. Not even the top three themselves. Won't be revealed till Monday.

 

The queens find out the same time we do. It's just that that evening while they show is airing, they have a huge "coronation" party at XL night club. So, if you want to see the winner's *genuine* reaction, you'll have to look up youtube videos the next day.

I remember watching Sharon's genuine reaction last year somehow? I think they were streaming at the club they were at, too :shrug:

They might do a live stream from the club. But if you're watching the actual episode of Drag Race, what you see is totally staged for the cameras. You can find really great video of Sharon getting crowned and giving a speech on Youtube, but still, it feels like the national broadcast should get that, not some dinky internet stream.

 

Hopefully they change how they do the finale next year. The biggest problem with Drag Race this year is that it's absolutely limping into its finale. The last three episodes all feel totally superfluous and unnecessary. After Detox got cut, we had the "final three" where...nobody got cut just like last year, then we had the Recap which is filler, and now we'll have another really lame Reunion with a fake crowning (just like last year's, which was actually sort of poorly received). They need to find a way to make every episode feel relevant to the competition. It's really sad that it runs out of gas after the final four.

I agree. I think the first thing to do is for them to cut out the recap episode. It's pretty pointless. And do the finale a week later live on television instead of filming it a week prior for editing purposes.
