Official RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 Thread | Ep 16 Grand Finale

[Pandacadabra 9,084]

What a waste of Abracadabra, so I guess this will not impact the song because barely anyone would rewatch that awful lipsync. The whole episode was possibly the least entertaining episode of the season.

Pacing was terrible, imagine 15 seconds in and theyre already showing Lucky Starzzz then off to the next so quickly and on and on. If they are going to do a lot for a finale then they should extend the runtime or do less so we are not rushing through it.

I do wish they’d start doing ballads again for lip synced songs, I don’t think we had one for this season did we? 

love finale’s that have ballad final lip syncs where there’s no tricks or stunts but just emoting to the song

So happy that season is over. I need some 35+ y/o queens for the next season with work experience. I can't with them 21 year olds anymore.

Yeah we need some more divers cast. I must admit I also am drawn more to the younger queens but Lexi being the oldest one and also be called grandma in her early thirties is ridiculous. Just get us 5 contestens between 21 -29, 5 from 30-39 and 2 older ones and it will be fine

Also obsessed with Lexi referencing Robert Wung's soul gown for the final lipsync look

Of course you clocked it, just like I did

i feel like onya and jewels are both the temu versions of sapphira and nymphia 

season 17 cast was just lacklustre in so many ways

great personality (funny + very supportive to her sisters)

 

Except when it came to stealing her sister's fabric and "accidentally" ruining their creations with brown spray paint 

Silliness aside, with Suzie Toot out of the way, I guess Onya was the only logical choice. Wasn't impressed much with this finale, it felt cheap for some reason? Probably the fact this didn't happen in a big venue. Only truly great moment was Liza.

i think it was in the same space as season 16s finale, i think the cast this season was underwhelming. 

i feel like last season either nymphia or sapphira winning was satisfying. this season i didnt really like the final two.......

That was such a disappointing finale.. I am happy that Onya won, was really rooting for her and Lexi, but how did they go from theatre finales to this?! Also the general finale format was so meh, it would have been more fair if they just lipsynced instead of.. this.

They need to lean into the magic that was UK Season2 and analyze why that was so beloved. 

Really cut the bs that the other recent seasons and franchises play into, and try to make simple tv magic happen again. 

It all comes down to passion and sense of humor. That’s it.
