yeah i don't think the Viv is a bully, but she started off looking arrogant and i thought fair enough, she is good, maybe as time goes on i'll grow to like her. and i just haven't.

whereas Divina i love, she reminds me a little of Yvie Oddly, in that she's an allrounder and doesn't really mix that well within the group but really likeable to the audience and has a mad laugh that just opens her whole face up in a lovely way.

I really really liked Yvie, but haven't felt the same about Divina, although, on tonight's episode Divina was more able to laugh at herself, more relaxed and fun than on any episode! Yvie's laugh is magic!!! Can hear it now, in my head.

I did love the relationship between The Viv and her mum. And Divina's sister was quite adorable and fun. Don't wanna say anything about Baga and her mum, because, having a really complicated & difficult relationship with my own mother, I'd not want to judge theirs.

i also understand having a difficult relationship with family, but i also know how to keep my mouth shut. not judging the relationship but it was not handled well by Baga.

Divina's was a true matching family look, one of the best i've seen on all seasons. i'm guessing she had a duplicate of her favourite dress cos this task ALWAYS comes up.

and lol at Cheryl failing to realise her clothes wouldn't fit her 2 sizes bigger sister.

i did wonder if the lip sync song was picked to stop Cheryl having such an advantage, as it was clearly something Baga would know and be good at. and the dress really worked for it. at one point i thought Cheryl might be not in bottom two because of the great runway performance (if not outfit) which would have meant Viv in bottom two which would have made me laugh.

i do think the weakest person went. i had warmed to the irritating bitch by the end though so sad to see her go.
 
Baga’s Lipsynch was one of the best I’ve ever seen. Though the song helped as it has character and narrative.

Was it just me who thought The Viv’s Look was a bit shit? I mean, I’d say it *is* harder with the mums so probably Cheryl deserved to be in the bottom two because she had it really easy. But The Viv’s Look was dull and her mum was as drowning in a dressing gown.

Totally agree! It looked like one of those "glamorous" nylon housecoats from the 1970s that Abigail or Margot Leadbetter might float about in. The wig was awful too.
 
Baga is absolutely hilarious but since the way she treated her mum, I don't feel so into her now - (I was happy to overlook the fact that she's a Tory until then :D). I think Ru will rule her out as a winner now as well.

Divina was my fave until her meltdown last week. As endearing as it can be when the queens reveal their insecurities, the way she listed all the things she's brilliant at was just not ....pleasant to watch. Still, I love her and think she's probably the most talented person in there, well at least AS talented as Baga and Vivienne. I think Vivienne is going to win though. The diversity of her looks, that AMAZING Trump Snatch Game, her confidence and her kindness* (*a common feature of the personalities of all Drag Race winners), means I think she'll pip Divina to the post.
 
According to Reddit, Divina is by far the most popular on Instagram. Someone pointed out this as a good thing, as it means The Viviene can compete on All Stars if she doesn't win ;)



Also...

 
I'm amazed nobody has posted on this tonight.

I don't think anyone can really argue that the winner wasn't deserving tbh. Both the top two were very strong almost all the time.
 
I thought it was 50/ 50 based on the final and gutted Divina didn't win. Bit annoyed that they made a thing out of her self confidence being too much when actually she only did that twice and once was tonight! Also making out smug face Vivienne as being more down to earth. Bollocks! She is good but is she fuck humble.
 
Where was the crown though? Nowhere to be seen... Did I miss something?

Also, good on Baga for not letting Ru and Michelle make out like she was a victim because she lived with her nan for a while. Sounds like it was a good thing to happen to her, not a bad thing.
 
I feel like it's not the first time there was no crown, like it depends on the wigs they're wearing and whether it would actually fit lol?

Yeah, I did wonder, re the wig, but no sign of it anywhere! ;o I joked with my husband that the winner gets the RuPeter badge, invisible crown and some stickers :D

season 11 US they didn't give a crown as she was basically already wearing one. so yeah i think it depends on wig / head things.
 
Well-deserved, The Vivienne, I think. Obviously Davina is getting a reputation for constantly singing her own praises which is never a good look. She's very talented - no doubt - but boasting to compensate for insecurity is never going to be a trait of the winning queen. Well done The Vivienne.

It’s really difficult for us Brits to take that innit. I expect it from the Americans as they are different, and it’s a show :jazz hands: that one can just gawp at, then slightly relate to some little bits.... not “I know someone almost exactly like that & I am too” but DDC wasn’t wrong :hmm:
