The season finale of RuPaulโs Drag Race airs tonight on Logo, and weโre breaking down the final three and casting our vote for who should be Americaโs Next Drag Superstar. No T, no shade, just our opinion.
Adore Delano
At first, we werenโt crazy about Adore. Her look was unpolished, her youth worked against her, and her demeanor was like a drag Valley girl from the โ80s. The pairing of Adore and Laganja Estranja was like a migraine-inducing, never-ending stream of catch phrases. It was like two ditzy girls constantly trying to make โfetchโ happen.
Once Laganja was eliminated (โyes, Gawd!โ) we got to see the real Adore, and we instantly became fans. Suddenly, her rawness was endearing, and we realized her voice and common sayings were not, in fact, an actโas they were with Laganja. Adore showed vulnerability, and really kicked ass in a few of the challenges, particularly the rap challenge.
By the end, we were happy to see her in the finals. Adore might still be too young to snatch the crown this year, but weโre looking forward to a very bright drag future for her. Party!
Courtney Act
Thereโs no question that Courtney is pretty, has talent, and wears some of the fiercest outfits to ever grace the main stage, but letโs face it, thereโs not a humble bone in her body. Even when sheโs trying to be nice, all her compliments come off as backdoor brags and thinly veiled reads. I truly respect Courtney as a competitor, but I donโt know that Iโd go out of my way to go see her perform. As weโve learned in the past, you canโt just rely on โprettyโ to win. Personality is such an important factor in this competition, and I still feel like Courtney has been faker than India Ferrahโs $600 breast plate. Instead of showing off her Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent, all we ended up seeing was her ginormous ego.
Bianca Del Rio
Iโm just going to go ahead and say this right now, weโre #TeamBianca. Sheโs been called out by the judges for not showing versatility in her runway looks, but we couldnโt care less. Who need versatility when youโre already perfect? Right out of the gate, Bianca showed us that she has the sharpest wit in Drag Race HERstory. Her one-liners seem like they were written by a team of talented comedy writers, and sheโs thrown some of the cleverest shade weโve ever seen. Much like Jujubee before her, we live to see Bianca read the other queens. She describes herself as hateful, but we find her so endearing because, underneath it all, sheโs a total sweetheart. Case in point: everyone teased Adore for her โhog bodyโ, but Bianca was the only one to offer the youngโn a cincher. In addition to the title of Americaโs Next Drag Superstar, this lovingly hateful queen is a hundred percent this seasonโs Miss Congeniality. Frankly, if Bianca doesnโt win weโre protesting on twitter using #baloney.
So there you have it. Bianca FTW. We’ve really enjoyed this season of Drag Race and weโre looking forward to more twists, more shade, and more lip syncing for your life in future seasons.
