    Wow… Nymphia did that. To be honest I wasn’t particularly rooting for her during the season but as soon as she did her opening number I was gobsmacked. Pure star quality. She ate them up and left no crumbs. Everything else feels like a side-dish to Nymphia’s performance. Sapphira’s performance was also amazing (the first one). Plane clearly fell flat and imo was rightfully eliminated. For the final performance, poor Sapphira didn’t stood a chance. And what was with the vampire teeth. I didn’t get that

    Side note: The face of discuss of Amanda that production decided to show when Plane Jane was being interviewed by Ru… that was shady but I lived for it.

    I loved seeing Amanda and Plasma as the main dancers when the queen’s number started. They were my favorite queens and seeing them take front stage felt so rights.

    Sasha Colby reminded the children how it’s done. I would say she’s the mother, but I guess that would make Ru the grandmother… oops!

    Did anyone else feel it was weird that T.S Madison left the judges table when Ru sat? bitch, couldn’t they just get another chair?

    In sum: Awesome season, awesome, unexpected winner. The finale was amazing.

      Yeah Nymphia was phenomenal. Her runway package this season was just next level. The cast was great all season. I love that Megami had the most natural redemption, so lovely to see. And also to see Sapphira show what a god damn talent she is. And morphine and mirage and yeah just pretty much everyone besides dawn and q were nothing but a joy all season. I live for the Plane Amanda feud, even if amanda has had a hard time letting it go in real life. Here’s hoping AS9 is as fantastic!

        Yeah I think it would have been better for Amanda to get over it, but I also get it. She wasn’t there too long and Plane objectively made her experience less pleasent than it could have been. Being on dragrace is a one of a kind opportunity, so it’s understandable Amanda feels a certain way. Still, if you see her interview on Hey Qween, Watcha Packing, or Roscoe’s, she doesn’t seem too affected by it. She’s just not willing to pretend it didn’t happen.

        May I ask: Why do you feel Dawn and Q were not a joy. They weren’t my favorites, but I really enjoyed Dawn’s confesionals, and most of Q’s runway were amazing. In my opinion ofc

          Dawn is pretty bitchy in the confessionals, I never warmed up to her. Q was such a great designer and I’m glad she was around to display her clear talent. However, I found her to be terrible at everything else. And she was def kept when she shouldn’t have been. I don’t hate either of them at all. Just don’t like em that much ya know? lol

      I agree with basically all of this.

      Nymphia stole the crown in a power move I did not expect. The balloons on the butterfly lyric was effortlessly exceptional, and if I’m reading into it, an intentional show up of Asia O’hara’s attempt at a similar statement of a reveal, heh.

        I really thought Sapphira was gonna win until the finale ep. Nymphia earned her crown. Now time to get some boba tea

          Ive been a bananafan since the get go but I was banking on my girl Sapphira.

          I was surprised but also happy for Nymphia. She won that lipsync.
