Inevitably one of the queens will use the lyrics “snatch the crown,” which is the Drag Race equivalent of singing “Hallelujah” on American Idol.
The queens each have to make up a verse to a RuPaul song (for sale now on iTunes), learn some tough choreography, give us an eleganza look, and wait for one of them to be crowned the queen. At this stage we should really call it RuPaul’s Tesla Race because this shit runs on autopilot. The final challenge is what we have come to expect. It was three English queens pretending to represent the country as a whole. Well, they’re almost unanimously united in their hatred for the English. They each have their own languages, history, and cultural identity and, in some cases, they don’t all get along. While it is one big country, the individual kingdoms are not like states. This is something Americans don’t quite get. It also didn’t help that Lawrence’s mean girl side came out in the last few episodes, like that Snake Emoji Alaska.Īt the beginning of the episode, Lawrence points out that the final queens are representing England, Scotland, and Wales, three of the countries of the United Kingdom. Yes, she was consistently great throughout the season, but I’ve been #TeamBimini for weeks now, because she seems like a much more interesting choice than Lawrence. I’m also a little sad that Lawrence took home the crown.

It’s like the producers said, “Ru, we don’t have enough to make a full hour of television, you have to save Ellie so that she can be interviewed for the podcast and we can get a few more minutes out of her.” Then, when it got to the very, very end, Ellie was summarily dismissed and there was a final three lip-sync, as if it had been planned that way all along. The ending of the episode also made me question the double save at the end of last week. limps across the finish line with an episode that doesn’t seem to know what to do with itself and, like Sister Sister’s face when she came out of lockdown, is full of filler.
But, alas, we are working with a BBC budget in a pandemic, so this magnificent season of Drag Race U.K. Oh, how I miss the Drag Race live finale, with lots of showmanship, stunning looks, and enough lip-sync battles that it makes the last episode a bit of an event unto itself.
