First an apology, I was out of town and offline for a long weekend at a convention for my business. But I’m back and Just in time for the finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
I was on pins and needles waiting to find out who would take over for Raja as this year’s winner, and then I got left with a cliffhanger! No winner was announced, we will find out on the reunion show. And Ru has asked for our help in choosing that winner.
So it’s down to Phi Phi, Sharon and Chad. I’ll Say right now Phi Phi definitely does NOT deserve to win. Her attitude stinks and I find it amazing that with all the garbage she has put out there about her father, She has a mySpace page in which she says how supportive her parents, including her father, are about everything she does. That has been a constant pity point for Phi Phi. I don’t believe someone who has said they will do anything to win and then trashes their father on national television is deserving of a place in the top three, never mind the crown.
Chad Michaels has been polished throughout the competition. I know Michelle has been riding her for it but as Chad has said, he is always Chad. Chad has shown nothing but professionalism and class from the beginning. The Snatch Game episode is a perfect testament to Chad’s professionalism. When the queens in the bottom row turned the show into a juvenile, vulgar high school locker room free for all, Chad maintained her composure. That really demonstrated the gap between Chad and the others. Chad would represent Ru’s name with class and style. She would be an acceptable winner in my eyes, but…
This competition is to crown the next Drag Superstar. The key word there is ‘next’. That says new, fresh something that we haven’t been seeing in drag for the past 20 years. The only one that brings the new and fresh element is Sharon Needles. Sharon is spooky, she caught my attention from episode one. I know a lot of people may have done exactly what Phi Phi did, put her in a little box thinking that all Sharon could do was a spooky goth look. She proved everyone wrong. Sharon is the only queen who has really brought a variety of looks to the main stage.
So as I said Ru has asked us to let her know who should win. You can voice your opinion by going to the RuPaul’s Drag Race Facebook page or tweet #Drag Race. Let Ru know how you feel and tune in to the reunion show on April 30th on Logo TV!
