I love how (except for Danny & Angie) all the teams call their partners "babe" this episode including the pilots and the firefighters.

Yeah the white costume from the show is my least fave as well. Loved seeing the original costume animated (designed by Dave Cockrum not Byrne) - that is my all time fave look. But also have a great fondness for punk mohawk Ororo so hope we get to see that avatar again at some point.

I got spoiled the winner (By a close Taiwanese friend who messaged me off guard) but part of me was not surprised. Nymphia came into the season with the most followers and is still streaks ahead in that regard. And she gave an amazing finale lipsync. Still I thought she (and Plane) have more to offer a future All Stars than Sapphira - which I why I thought Sapphira will win this round. Overall this was a really good cast and IMO there was better momentum and flow than with seasons 13-15 with few dud moments despite the length (that potion storyline was a misfire though).

Although I am grateful for this series I really do feel like they are doing too much too quickly - like it's one big biryani of plotlines and characters that should have have been had more of a slow burn but it's been served so fast it's giving me heartburn. Still there have been some fun moments and always enjoy the cameos.

Yeah Great episode! Lovely to see so many girls get their Flowers (Megami!!!) and RuDemptions already without waiting for an All Stars. There could have easily been 2 additional lipsyncs (not a fan of 3 way lipsyncs and it sent Mh'iya straight to the semi) and Morphine perhaps unfairly skipped the semi and went straight to the final. Mh'iya was pressed like a panini after that loss. The Donna Summer lipsync was perhaps the most even - was really rooting for Mirage but I picked up that her lips were at times not in sync enough. I didn't mind Morphine winning - she's been a solid lipsyncer all season but an argument could definitely have been made for a Megami win. I think Megami is closely allied with Sasha Velour and you can see the skill set there. For a reunion the drama was minimal and even the Amanda- Jane tension seems very surface level/ mild. I'm sure there will be more queen interactions in the finale.

I didn't mind the cousins too much - thought they were entertaining ... but that anxiety was not going to take them much further. Was hoping Rod & Leticia would get lost out of the game Liking the girlfriends the more we see of them. Still loving Angie and Danny , but yeah stop with the helping. I think he's probably too much of a people pleaser (like me).

OOps my bad - will correct

Would like to echo others - I really thought this was a fun episode - the best in a while. Between the fire fighters botching the rebus and the jump roping at the end it was very entertaining. Also getting passive aggressive vibes from <Vinnie> but overall I don't mind them too much - felt bad that they lost out a first place due to bad luck and hope they can get it together. Am really rooting for Danny and Angie but ja they are unlikely to stay close to the top for very long. They have a great spirit though.

I feel for Q. I know she's been a mess on social media - but being Top4 in the finale has been guaranteed since season 9 (except Season 12 by default). Season 14 even had a Top5. Still she will be booked and blessed as a designer and am sure she is a shoo-in for All Stars. Actually looking forward to the Lalaparuza (but hope there is an actual reunion as well. I hope my girl Mirage brings it (Hopefully her flubbing of Dark Lady was a once off) but it may be a case of Mh'iya doing a Silky and dominating (even though IMO she's a messy lipsyncer).

Looking forward to see Marina and LGD back for more seasons. Ru was living for both of them like she was with Jimbo on UK vs the World 1 .

I would have given Q the win - her looks were the most creative and she overcame her dancing weakness. I thought Lazy Susan was a bit overrated but they were all thirsty for her booty so Plane got extra points for selling it. Definitely see Saffira winning (that lipsync was awful though) the season so will probably be a predictable finale like last year with Sasha Colby.

Hannah Conda devoured the roast and the lipsync - big props to her. The season is Marina's to lose - she has been so consistent and a real delight to watch as I had expected . LGD lost steam mid season - I really thought she was taking the crown until then.

Alvilda was the most consistent so am satisfied with her win. That said I did not care for her final runway (liked Loulou's the most) and thought she lost her lipsyncs . Overall all a fun enough finale. The last 2 episodes were probably the best of the season.

Yes Nymphia was the winner this week IMO but Q was not far behind. Saffira's look needed different hair and makeup to be Goth. M'hiya's lipsync was messy and I would have given Plasma the win.

Morphae needed an attititude check - but I really liked her aesthetic and I get that the judges were not getting her at all.

I can stare for infinity into LGD and Keta Minaj's eyes . Soo beautiful both of them. Oh and IMHO Hannah Conda won the challenge but really happy for Scarlet (always loved her and she killed the lipsync).

I doubt a UK girl is winning this season. I am here for Marina, La Grand Dame, Hannah Conda & Keta Minaj - all of them could have won their season and I wouldn't have batted an eyelid. Mayhem's crash & burn could be due to brain fog from the long Covid she spoke about - still she went out like a trooper. Iconic queen of IDGAF and the party. Also have always been fond of Tia (gorgeous runway) and Scarlet Envy. And Aranxa! Castilla! LaMancha!

Also thought that Nymphia was robbed of a top placement this week - but she now has 2 wins and they maybe don't want to make her ultimate season win any more obvious . Still kudos to Q with a deserved win and to Dawn who has been flying under the radar.

I'm enjoying Jane and Nymphia. At least this season won't be a snoozefest i.e. Rupaul's Best Friends race.

This was IMO a solid Top4, though all had room for improvement. I thought Nearah did really well in the challenge but the Top2 was predestined already. That said, congrats to Venus. Aurora Matrix will do really well on an All Stars / vs the World, so am look forward to seeing her grow and seeing more of her.

No - Shangela was too abrasive and Spankie too seasoned. I think it's more along the lines of a LaLaRi busted but let's see if Amanda can pull off anything as iconic as the gift bag dress

At times I think I have Drag Race burnout but I was still quite entertained by this premiere. No one is really ground breaking but a nice bunch of queens. Amanda Tori Meeting is giving me Miss Congeniality vibes - really sparkly soul who will come and demolish a future All Stars. Enjoyed Q and Saffira's talents but am most intrigued by Dawn so far. Always good to see my homegirl Charlize - on the ready this week with a tray of malva pudding for the werq room. Lekker hey!

So far Season 4 has shaped up to be much more coherent, memorable and intriguing than Season 3. I like this Top 4 well enough, although they all have their weak points . I think I am rooting for Aurora Matrix - her lipsyncing is next level and she is just gorgous. Venus is cool as well and I have grown to like her too (this week with her mum was very sweet) - but am a bit old school in that I'd prefer if she'd pad a bit. Nearah is very talented in that regard as well (Lipsyncing)- I don't read her as particularly malicious but that she will cut a bitch that stands in her way (like in a camp Dreamgirls-esque parody way). Denim is a great design/look queen but a bit one dimensional - she gives me Willow Pill- lite, but I still like her and am glad she made the final. (Dawn on RPDR Season 16 seems to be one to watch from this archetype). With regards to Melinda Verga - did not care for her too much - but she understandably seemed to have lots of support with her salt-of-the-earth cranky aunty persona.

Yes congrats to Kate - she and Ginger were hilarious in Holedark and that was a great runway. Personally I would have put Dede and Tomara in the bottom for those basic runways. Bye to Cara - I know she rubbed some people up the wrong way but I think much of it was just youthful hubris - I think she will be great on an All Stars/ Vs the World.

Great finale to an otherwise tedious season. Kudos to Hiddleston - amazing acting and spectacular art direction. But will agree with some who commented that much of the season felt like it was spinning its wheels and IMO could have been condensed into a 2 hour movie. The whole TVA sci-fi setup was very much Fantastic Four territory - still I have mixed feelings that they looped Loki into it as his whole series premise, but they kind of made it work due to great acting.
