I was rooting for Violet, but I am a wee bit prejudiced, she's from my neighborhood and regularly performs at my favorite bar.
It's really interesting, who does well on the show vs. well at a drag show. Violet's drag is so much fun in person - sexy, funny, creative. She's also quite friendly, not that we are pals or anything.
I did the Battle of the Seasons tour this year and it was awful... my favorites, Sharon, Jinxx- did boring lipsyncs or sang bad songs. They were great on the show, but there personal Drag performances were... meh. Bianca (whom I truly loved) came off as kind of misogynistic. Alaska & Ivy were the only high points. (Ultimate low point - Michelle Visage singing Amy Winehouse) All this to say that the talents that it takes to put on a good drag show and the talents it takes to go far on Drag Race aren't always one in the same... And yay for Violet.
