RuPaul's Drag Race (season 16) – Now Airing

[Luke78619 23,083]

A tweet made me realise I’ve been rooting for the Asian queen of CDR4, UKVSTW2 and US16, and so far they’ve lost  please Nymphia, do a Sasha Velour in the finale  we haven’t seen her lip sync yet but from clips I’ve seen of her performances, I look forward to what she will do

Such a FUN episode, loved the workroom makeup before going to the runway, it was so funny, so sweet. Love their relationship, all so comfortable with each other, so shady. Beautiful!

Sapphira's new breasts must be Plane's.. color isn't completely flat, must be foundationed. The generous queen giving everyone her drag to use to improve their own! 

Plane best on the runway by far, I was gagged! but worst in the challenge. Sad for her, it is very clearly difficult for her to be truly vulnerable and not try to make it funny or shady. Love her so much, #1 of the season for me and probably of the last few years of new queens. 

Gently agreed with the winner, I didn't really see a standout besides editing telling me it's Nymphia's episode. 

I feel connected to Sapphira's slue foot story in the way that I am pigeon toed, and I was frequently made fun of it/it was brought to my attention throughout my life. I was very insecure, I still am somewhat lol I try to walk in a straight line keeping my feet forward but they just naturally turn in!

Plane def won the lip sync, I thought they both did great though! It's not a SHABLAM song nor a ballad, it's just a song. Interesting choice. 

Kind of sad for Q! I think she's a fantastic queen but I kind of fell out of love with her over the 2nd half of the season. Wish her the best in life. Gracious exit, made me cry a little!

Excited for next week. 

I wasn't sure how I would like the format of this episode with no "what do you say to little Johnny?," no Eleganza Extravaganza, no Tic Tac, no Rumix, but it was good! Just didn't feel completely "this is the last competitive episode"

"Quoi ?!"

I am shocked there is not top 4! I saw Mirage a few weeks ago and Q so happened to be there as an attendee. I got a pic with her and told her “b itch, you’re gonna win” and she just smiled and said “I hope so.”  I assumed she would be top 4. 
 

I am rooting for Plane. I despised her in the beginning. Snatch Game won me over. She has carried the season for me. She delivers looks, comedy, and can perform. I mock her little head shakes as she talks and quote “kudos for saying that, for spillling” and “my sisterrr.” She is memorable af for the season. 
 

I enjoyed Nymphia at first but then, like a banana, it started to get old real fast. Idk what it is, it’s the same schtick over and over. I saw her at a club last month and she looked great and performed amazing. Her humor is a little immature for me, I can’t quite put my finger on it. 
 

Sapphira is good all around, but her iconic moments in the show were her boobies bouncing around during the “Break My Soul” lip sync and that incredible flower look. My jaw dropped when she came out with that flower look. Perfection! 
 

I never get upset with who wins the crown or not because to me, Plane Jane won this season. Mirage is an honorary winner because that talent show was amazing and the song has over 4M streams on Spotify. She is so sweet! She’s so goofy and fun. 

[Ultimecia 6,025]

Plane Jane for the crown!

At this point, I wouldn't be mad.. She deserves it and I don't even like the binch 

[Reality 73,802]

Great episode! I'm actually gagged that it's not a top 4. IIRC, the last time they did a top 3 was S8, so it's wild that they're bringing it back again. I'm not mad about it though! Plane, Nymphia, and Sapphira are all deserving of being in the finale. I like Q a lot, but she wasn't going to win. That much was clear. 

The judging was right and the top 2 were rightfully Nymphia and Sapphira. I think Sapphira could've won, but I'm so, so, so happy Nymphia got another win. She really opened up and showed a lot of growth this episode. With the way Plane was being edited, I thought she was going to go home, and tbh I wouldn't have been mad about it since I'm not the biggest Plane fan, but I believe she's incredibly deserving of making it to the finale. 

Over the past few weeks, I thought Sapphira was 100% taking the crown, but now I'm not too sure. This episode + the makeover really boosted Nymphia up. She showed a lot more vulnerability, which is extremely important for a show like this: they want to see queens who are multifaceted and vulnerable. I still think Sapphira's gonna take the crown at the end of the day, but I hope Nymphia wins. She's been my fave since the beginning and we need another Asian winner! The only Asian queen to win US Drag Race is Raja and that's insane to me. Hopefully we get another Sasha Velour moment or something lol. That said, I love Sapphira too, so I'd be more than happy if she wins.

So I guess some time passed between this episode and the last one? because the top 3 looks different (different hair cut etc). They are all so cute tho, such a great cast

I love all the queens!!!  It's hard to choose who I'd want to win.  Though I have to say, Im leaning towards Sapphira.  This is because I have a soft spot for the more experienced queens. She's worked so long and hard.  She also SLAYS (almost) every time.  I think she deserves it.

But like I said, Ill be a little sad no matter who wins just because I think they're ALL great.
