This season in general was very very great. but this last episode was definitely the worst. the song mixing was really not good and the choreography seemed kinda all over the place, but i love the moment where all the eliminated queens joins the top 4 in the performance. About the crowning...i don't know, i'm not very happy with it. happy for lawrence but bimini definitely should have won.

Strong end to a Strong Season

I loved this season, it's definitely up there with US5, US6 and AS2.
The main challenge was good and bringing back the other queens worked really well.
I must say, the interviews + the young photo talk + the "why do you think you should win" was a little bit too much vanilla talking for me.
The top 2 was quite clear based on track record and I'm a little surprised that they kept Tayce in for the lip sync when (as amazing as she is) her track record was comparatively poor and 3 way lip syncs are usually much messier than 2.
I do think Bimini should have won, but I'm not going to rate it 1 star for that - other people will and that's their choice.
Edit: correctly spelling of "won" from "one". Fml.

... of course Bimini deserved the crown, nevertheless it was a great season taking into consideration the whole planet was in the terrible COVID-19 crisis.
*Veronica Green* is back!
So God help those queens on Season 3...
Getting bored of Ru's shockingly bad decision-making

I simply cannot fathom how Bimini did not win this season. It was a lacklustre finale but honesty, that outrageous crowning has to be the nadir of Ru's honestly nauseating mistakes when crowning recent queens.
I feel like the editing must have be honestly horrific, otherwise A'hora would have been in the top 3 and I'm not even sure Laurence, who was on a downward spiral would even be there. Why did they make her look so bad if she was good enough to beat a well-rounded queen like Bimini?
Ru, get it together or pass the baton over to a more capable queen.

It's sad that péople are rating it 1 star because Bimini wasn't crowned. I was rooting for her, but I imagined that Rupaul would follow the same pattern we have been seeing on the last seasons: the queen with most wins doesn't win the season (season 11, season 12, all stars 5). So I wasn't surprised with Lawrence's crowning. And let me be real: I loved this season from beginning to the end, I think we needed a season like this in the times we're living (I'm from Brazil and 3000+ people are losing their lives everyday due to covid), so instead of being angry with Lawrence's crowning, I focused on the returning queens and the amazing energy they were giving to the top 4 during the performance and to the top 3 in the lipsync. I missed Veronica so much, so when I saw her nose in the background, I literally screamed. About the top 2, Bimini surprised me a lot, she really grew on me since the United Kingdolls episode and Snatch Game. She's one of the most memorable queens from this season. I know it's an unpopular opinion, but for me Bimini and Lawrence are the face of the season and either one of them winning was deserving.
You had one job.

This season was one episode away from being my favourite season of Drag Race ever.
Unlike the recent American seasons this season had really shown some amazing judging that was more indicative of the queen's performance, rather then the storyline that the producers wanted to portray. That was until the finale - by absolutely no criteria could anyone justify the winner decision. The queen that won has been underperforming since the COVID break in every way and came back a pretty horrible human generally. Despite being a very talented and hard working queen this should not have been their season. No justification for this decision.

People giving this episode 1 star because their favourite didn't win is insane. Lawerence absolutely deserved to win this season, even though Bimini had a better track record. I was team Bimini for most of the season but guess what? I can be happy for a winner whilst rooting for someone else. Giving the episode 1 star because you're butthurt and can't handle the fact that someone DESERVING of the crown won speaks volumes about yourself.
An amazing season which will be going in the drag race herstory book for all of the right reasons. Congratulations Lawerence!

I really enjoyed the finale. The performance was really good and loved the queens in the number. I loved how the eliminated queens returned and loved the bit where they were in they're look in Beastenders. I do think that larwrence deserved to win he did really good in this season. I do see why people think Bimini should have won. But i think Lawrence will do miracles with the thrown.
I cant wait to see what he does with it

Really good cast of queens, mix of really funny & strong personalities sadly ruined by utterly confusing judging decisions. Often times the judging is quite literally the opposite to how the queen actually performed in the challenge (for e.g. Lawrence High on the stand-up when she didn't have a single joke, with Tayce bottom 2 despite being the objectively second funniest) and it really takes you out of the show. If you can completely ignore the competition element of this competition, and simply focus on the queens themselves then you will enjoy the season, but ultimately they need to stop framing the show as a competition because the best queen rarely wins. Lawrence was edited to be the winner the entire season and it was pretty annoying because she simply was not the best. She wasn't horrible, definitely top 6, but there were several queens who were simply more entertaining throughout.
And honestly, why bother having a finale and a lip-sync for the crown if the worst lip-syncher ends up winning? They even said that she was poor in the final challenge and yet still gave her the crown anyway. Just disappointing.
Wow!

What an amazing season! Lawrence is a great representation for the show! I don't understand how hurt some of you are, especially the person who said Lawrence won't last long. You are a trash person. Don't be salty because your favorite did not win. Lawrence did great this season, and deserved their win. She deserved her three wins, and landed in the bottom once. You guys are acting like she was the bottom of the barrel each week, like get over yourself. Bimini could come back and do better or worse who knows, but this is not their time. Get over it and get a life, trashy haters. Long live Lawrence Chaney.
Worst Finale

It's so disappointing that the contestant that was successful at the most challenges with the best track record, a huge evolution throughout the competition , comedy and dancing skills and with great and innovative runaways looks was not crowned the winner. I can't seem to find the criteria behind this decision and it really makes the competition look ridiculous.
Disappointing end to one of my favourite seasons

So before we start, just want to reiterate that RPDR is a reality show, and the queens on the show are very much real people with real feelings, and I absolutely condemn any hate towards Lawerence as a person, she is a stellar queen and a true professional, and I'm glad the show has got its first plus size winner. Any criticisms I am making are not directed to Lawerence, but rather to production and Rupaul. That being said, Bimini, in every regard, should have won. Her story was far more compelling as a rags to riches type story, she had a far better track record with 4 wins and one bottom(even with the incredulous amounts of favouritism Lawerence received throughout the season), her finale runway was objectively better and different to anything she had produced (Lawrence had worn that silhouette in the Hometown runway, the Who Wore it Better runway, and the PreHerstoric runway, and the look was dare I say basic), she performed better in the final lip-sync (where Lawerence did terrible sex jokes and paled in comparison to both Bimini and Tayce) and she had the best performance in the Rumix. The only compelling reason for Lawerence winning is she may be a better fit for the TV show prize, but If that's the case, then the entire season is completely diminished and unsatisfying, and Lawerence had basically won the second she entered the werk room. Even from an objective standpoint, where Bimini is not your favourite (even though she by far has the most support from the fan base), Bimini was a better contender and performed better in the finale. The choice to make Lawerence the winner was complete production favouritism and completely ruins what could have probably been one of the best seasons on Drag Race. That being said, this season is still better than S13.

Could've been a 10/10 season

Perfect seasons don't exist anymore and this right here is the perfect example.
I loved every single episode, fantastic cast, great challenges, talent, looks, charisma, natural storylines. Everything.
But, after all that praise, I just can't give this finale any other score. It feels wrong, incomplete, devistating. It still feels unreal that the contestant with the best track record, the most wins, the best performancing skills, the most growth, the best story line, the biggest comeback and the most fan support didn't win, after proving that they deserve the crown and their own digital series with their snatch game, acting and stand-up comedy win.
Generally speaking, the biggest riggory since Shangela on AS3
