RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 18 | Congrats to the winner!

[tomsches 17,550]

I haven‘t always liked the winners, but at least there have been other people in the top 4 that I liked and the few times that I wasnt rooting for the queen that ended up winning at least I was fine with them. I think this is the First Season in herstory where I didnt really care about anyone from the whole cast (except for Discord, but she wasnt gonna win anyway).

Is Darlene fans favorite? If so, they could give her the crown to make at least the fans happy in the last episode. None of the finalists have winner vibes tho, I'm sorry to say that.

Yeah, I agree, tbh. They’re all shy of the full package in one way or another. Myki’s mug is beautiful, she looks consistently good on the runway, she’s funny, she’s talented, she just doesn’t wow me. Nini’s drag is crisp, polished, clean, vibrant, technically impressive, she’s clever, occasionally funny, she’s a great physical performer, but again…no real star quality as far as I’m concerned. Darlene being in the finale is kind of ridiculous to me, ngl. Like she’s occasionally funny, very charming, her looks are hit or miss but I appreciate her camp POV, but again, nothing really jumps off the page to me about her.

Probably the most underwhelming top 4 of all time.

Yes. Probably even worse than season 11.

I mean, S11’s top 4 was actually good. Yvie, Brooke Lynn, Silky, A’keria. I’d say the only one that rivals S18 is S14.

Fvck it. Darlene Mitchell should win.

The AI portraits…

Poor Juicy, neither her or Nini are going to win so why not just put the lip sync winner in the finale? They definately just wanted her for the Lalaparuza 

anyway, I fear all the personalities of this cast went home too early. I feel like there’s no way Myki doesn’t take this, but I would love for Darlene to take it, she’s been the one I’ve been looking forward to seeing every week

I was team Myki until yesterday’s episode. Give it to Darlene. I love this kooky bitch

I'm fully Team Darlene tbh. As good as Myki has been this season, she's not giving star quality to me. Like, she was easily the least interesting when it came to the one-on-one with Ru. Darlene would be a unique and fun character to add to the winner's circle, and I think she's a lot more relatable than Myki.

I'd also like Nini to win, but she's a distant third. Top 2 is definitely Myki and Darlene. Also, even though I love Nini, she 100% lost that lip sync to Juicy. It's crazy how Drag Race takes into account when the lip sync matters and when it doesn't. Jane lost the lip sync last week, even though she had the best track record of all time. Nini lost it this week, but stayed because she had a [relatively] better track record than Juicy?? Make it make sense.

So we are criticizing this season for not having star power/quality and/or stars in general but at the same time we want Darlene to win? 

Last week foaming from the mouths because track record should count and now we are rooting for a queen who would have been porckchoped in every other season.

Starting to think the problem of this show is the audience lol

I mean, Jane should’ve won the season, full stop. She did amazing in all the challenges (minus the Karen one) and had a great runway package. For whatever reason, they just didn’t want to crown her. But in her absence, I’m Team Darlene all the way. I like her drag, she’s relatable, and I think she’d be a unique addition to the winner’s circle.

Myki will probably win because she has the best track record, but I don’t find her compelling at all. Outside of her Drew Barrymore, I didn’t really care for a lot of what she did throughout the season. I think she didn’t deserve any of her last three challenge wins tbh: Jane, Discord, or Juicy should’ve won the makeover; Juicy should’ve won the Karen challenge; and Darlene should’ve won Good Morning Bitches alone. There’s no denying she’s talented, but I just don’t connect with her.

Using AI to make those ****ass portraits that add literally NOTHING to the episode and are just... there is a choice to say the least. 

Besides that, Darlene and Myki ATE that challenge so bad. They were so good. Darlene finally officially won me over and I wouldn't be mad if she wins the whole thing but I still want Myki to win because she's the most deserving. 

Hilarious how last week they HAD to eliminate Jane because she lost the lipsync but this week they were fine with keeping Nino even though she clearly lost the lipsync. Like either play it fair throughout the season or don't? Juicy demolished Nini and she deserved to stay for that even though I do not think shes better than Nini overall. Anw, she's winning the lalaparuza so congrats for that.

[Levine 23,958]

You don't care for what Myki did throughout the season and what Darlene did more than her? Do we want to talk about that ridiculous win at the roast? I can give her the win for the GMB, but nothing memorable.

The wins were a mess this season. Myki should have won the rusical AND Snatch Game if you wanna talk about it.

We love Darlene because of her laugh, of her being genuine and funny, but talent? Uhm.

The fans of this show have the nerve to drag Onya for her crown but at the same time rooting for Darlene who doesn't even have a tenth of her talent.

Y'all love Darlene because she's cute, admit it, let's hope she wins and move on from this messy season. Just don't drag Myki who all of the sudden has become the worst drag queen ever (I'm not talking to you, but in general. Twitter has been dragging her since last episode).

P.s. I'm not really so sure that people would have rooted for Jane if she was still in the game  she wasn't that loved before her elimination hence why other queens were gaining more followers on socials. But that's just me.

Not to insinuate the obvious but when Yvie or Onya won people said track record should matter but now all of a sudden it shouldn’t? It’s the Katya effect I think.
