That’s a little harsh. The edit Shea got this season made it look like she felt entitled to the win (see also: Alaska in AS2.) She still deserved to win.

Without a doubt, Jujubee is a terrific competitor and performer. She was hilarious in her talking heads, fantastic in Snatch Game of Love and (mostly) killed her runways & challenges. So yes, Juju deserved to be in this finale.
Yeah, I was rooting for both Shea and Juju and don’t at all get the comments that Shea didn’t do well this episode or didn’t “earn it” this season. I thought she was the clear best in the verse number (even with the “hardest choreo” from what we were told and, honestly, what we saw), held her own on the runway (all…
What a horrible misinformed take lol.
I definitely feel she won the final lipsync and while I did feel earlier that there was this odd feeling of the certainty she felt about needing this win that doesn’t mean being confident is a bad thing at all.
I would’ve voted for Jujubee just out of sentimentality over her distinguished tenure on Drag Race and finding her the most likable, but it was clear that this was Shea’s season from fairly early on.
Shea was everyone’s favorite to win going into that finally, but girl watch what you were doing in that lipsynch and watch what Sasha was doing. You took Sasha very lightly and you didn’t even bother to do any killer dance moves. You weren’t robbed, she just expertly snatched the crown off of your head. We all had…
What I got is that the trauma comes not from losing to Sasha, but to assholes everywhere throwing petals at Shea because there are a huge proportion of Drag Race fans that took the "this is not best friend's race" to excuse their cruel and psychotic behaviour against some queens. But maybe I'm reading too much on this.
It was especially disappointing that “Super Freak” was not the lipsync song. I mean...it was the theme of the runway, people! And Shea was even channeling Rick James, even though she didn’t appear to know it! Argh.
That lip-sync sucked. Ru should have declared no winner and gave the money to charity and just did the obvious and eliminate Blair.
I genuinely want Juju to be like “I’ve lost twice and I’m fine soooo....” lol. If she had been like injured or taken out of the competition, I’d be onboard, but she lost like everyone else on the show and she lost in one of the most epic lip syncs ever. It wasn’t Asia O’Hara with dead butterflies where there was some…
Shea has been coming across as very entitled for the last few episodes. It may just be the edit, but they keep pushing that she was somehow robbed on her season, and it’s like no, you lost just like every other All Star. I’ve always really liked her as a performer, but I’m liking her less as a contestant lately.
I don’t know if it’s just the show narrative they’re trying to construct, but the thread that Shea feels she was wrongly robbed of her crown in her season is not a great look and feels like it’s meant to undermine Sasha’s win. I get that Shea was the frontrunner, but Sasha won fair and square by giving a superior…
Okay Vanjie isn’t really considered a lipsync assassin (though she did lipsync four times, which is generally an indicator of lipsync assassinhood)
I saw the Cracker dance losing its pace and energy all the time, and she never, ever, smiled. Nah, lipsync was fairly Roxxy to win.
Roxxxy won because of the outfit. From what they showed, Cracker’s synch was at least as good or better. Tie goes to the runner, right?
I don’t know what was more delusional...Blair thinking Cracker was going to eliminate her because she’s a threat or Blair thinking her look was high fashion.. But Alexis’ looks weren’t that much better. As for the win, Cracker’s monologue was a bit funnier than Juju’s but Juju’s outfits were, IMO, much better so she…
It’s twofold really: Alexis being great and not credited for it (that Snatch Game was the one that made me laugh for it) and this friendship game that is turning to sound a bit fake. Congratulations to Blair who I like a lot but I think that position was not hers. Aaanyway, that's TV
I think I’m resigned to the fact that I wont “get” Cracker the same way Ru/the judges/production/other fans do. Had high expectations going into her original season, and I’ve been consistently whelmed ever since. I could see all the comedy parts there in her first runway, but it didn’t make me laugh the same way it…
I don’t think that anyone needed a reason to love Jujubee any more than we already do, but her chat with Ru was both devastating and hopeful at the same time. She’s so wonderful.
