The article critiques the evolution of Drag Race finales, noting they feel less grand than previous arena-style shows. It underscores that while the last episodes have often not been compelling TV, season finale build-ups can vary significantly in impact. Notably, Onya Nurve, a standout performer, ended up winning despite losing the final lip sync. The final runway looks of queens Jewels, Onya, and Lexi are highlighted, showcasing diverse fashion choices that reflect their strategies but also point out that some may not align with RuPaul's expectations.
Even the best finale, Sasha Velour's winning episode, was gripping for only the last 20 minutes—three performances' worth.
This season's finale feels small and less epic compared to past arena shows, where queens had to perform for a giant stage.
It seems that Onya Nurve, the most charismatic performer, lost the final lip sync but won the overall season—congratulations to Onya!
Last year's finale felt significant, with Nymphia's final lip sync playing a major role in the outcome.
