![]() ![]() I know it must be disappointing for her fans to see her walk away without the crown once again, especially after she did consistently well in the finale. Shea Couleé and Symone were absolutely the main characters of their season Ginger, by contrast, never felt like the driving force of All Stars 6. But recent American seasons have repeatedly proven that when it comes to winning Drag Race, narrative is crucial. That’s not to say she didn’t deserve the crown: I actually thought several queens had done well enough to be victorious, even including those not in the final four. So without an air of dominance to her reign, and with no real narrative presented in the edit, a Ginger win would have felt incongruent. They showed tremendous growth this season, and they’ll take this experience with them to another season of We’re Here! The Elephant Queen may not have won, but they keep on thriving nevertheless. It was a barnburner of a speech, and for a moment I wondered if we were heading toward a surprise Eureka! crowning. ![]() They made one hell of a case for the win in their final speech, delivering an impassioned monologue about how, as a plus-size person, they never fit in-but they fit in drag.

It’s ironic: in giving Eureka! their triumph with them finally winning a challenge this season, the show actually hampered Eureka!’s overall storyline.īut production circumstances do not change what a strong season Eureka! has had. All added together, it felt like Eureka!’s comeback arc was shoehorned into a single episode. And then Eureka! tied in the final Lip Sync for Your Legacy with Jaida Essence Hall, making it their third lip sync tie in their career. Then they won the final challenge-which, whether you agree with the win or not, felt like it had to happen to avoid Eureka! not being eliminated again. While there’s no doubt they won their “Since U Been Gone” lip sync against Silky Nutmeg Ganache, their return felt deflated after Silky’s improbable six-win run. But to be frank, I think the show did Eureka! a disservice with the game-within-a-game twist. ![]()
