It's down to the final three queens on RuPaul's Drag Race and it's going to be a close race girls! Ru announced that she wanted the Internets help in making a decision. She has a point. Season 5 has yet to define a clear winner. I will say that this season did though show the queens in their true nature more so then in the past seasons. I have seen some of these queens perform and then get on the show, and act nothing like I saw on stage, or the style would be completely different, for example Mimi Imfurst. Off the show her style is much more high glamour and she is actually funny as hell. You do you hope will win.........
Jinkx Monsoon?
Jinkx is incredibly endearing, has great comedic timing and knows how to bring the drama, but her makeup doesn't always hit the mark, which to is fine since she is what a drag queen SHOULD BE- campy!
Roxxxy Andrews?
Her double-wig stunt during the "Whip My Hair" lip sync was amazing. She consistently puts together amazing looks and hair for the runway, and can dance her ass off. However, her "strategy" of trying to psyche out Jinkx by being as mean as possible seems to be backfiring. The pageant queen's complaints last night, after performing poorly in the courtroom skit, that comedy was somehow an insult to drag were not only off-putting, but annoying as hell, but I still think she is a fabulous queen.
Alaska Thunderfuck
Alaska is also very likable and arguably one of the funniest queens in the show's history, has fabulous hair and it's impressive that she's succeeded in stepping out from Sharon Needles' shadow.
My Conclusion
While I said in my post before the race started, I was pretty sure Alaska would place top three at least, and was supporting her since she is sort of Philadelphia's home town girl, even though she is from Pittsburgh. She comes to Philly often for shows and is quite the sweetheart and so talented. I also like her style since it's close to my own. In pass seasons the queen with the most wins has taken the crown and title, but this season we have three queens with each two wins. But I think Jinkx Monsoon should have this locked, stocked, and barreled, and should start planning her drag race touring! Roxxxy is fabulous, but I don't see a pagent queen taking it, and she's not to popular in the interwebs... it's time for one of these two campy comedy queens to take the title. And I'll bet Alaska or Ivy Winters will get the Miss Congenitally Award. But I'll be happy if either Jinkx or Alaska wins! Good luck to all of you! What's your ten cents say?
We are torn between Jinkx and Alaska. We gravitate to the most funny and loveable contestants and they are both. We'd be happy with either and know, being this far along in the show, they will both do great in their careers. Look at Willam!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry, but I liked Alyssa better than Roxxxy! I can't stand her. Somewhere, Roxxy's Ma is watching all this and thinking, "I did do the right thing at that Bus Stop."
ReplyDeleteThank you for going "there." I have an evil sense of humor and couldn't stop laughing.
DeleteJinkx has been my favorite since week 1,Alaska was my 2nd favorite... Either one of them deserve the crown. Although Jinkx is my queen of choice, so talented, I luv to watch her perform and she sings as well too.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bartender at a gay club in Orlando and Roxxxy has have to be the least approachable Queen...I never saw her talk or interact with the crowd after a show, and she has almost no involvement with the club scene besides performing. I've met and got to know about 30% of the girls from RuPaul yet I've never had any experiences with Roxxxy and I live in her hometown and frequent where she works on my nights off.
ReplyDeleteWell I say high time a true campy queen won. Drag should be about over the top and campy not, real women, trans boys or the "fish" look. I think Jinkx has it too!
ReplyDeletePut Roxxxy Andrews and and Jinkx Monsoon and put them in a blender and you squeeze, you'll get Alaska! She really is the best of both of them, so I say Alaksa.
ReplyDeleteWith Alaska, one gets tangible beauty, starlet,glamour, humor, you get theatrics, you get drama. Alaska for the win!
ReplyDeleteJinkx has been the clear winner for so long. I got love for Alaska too, but Hunty, this crown belongs to the Jinkx!
ReplyDeleteI said it once, I'll say it again.....Monsoon season is coming.......
ReplyDeleteLove Jinkx..... but Alaska is the whole enchilada!
ReplyDeleteI’m rooting for Jinx, then Alaska, then Roxxxy.A funny, witty, sardonic bitch is still funnier to watch. Roxxxy gives you glam, but that’s it. There’s no introspection. Her friend Detox at least had that.
ReplyDeleteRoxxxy is the most polished, but she was such a b**** these last episodes. She was my favourite too at the beginning but she quickly lost my support. Her mistake is to take drag too seriously Alaska would have been a serious contender if she had been featured more from the start. Jinkx is not as good as the others when it comes to looks, but she has many other talents. So I say Jinkx!
ReplyDeleteI am really rooting for Alaska. I can’t put my finger on it, but I just can’t join in on this JINKX bandwagon. I mean, she is really talented etc, but Alaska still gets my vote.
ReplyDeleteTeam Alaska…for the win!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLook at it this way; if everyone on the show was nice and polite, there would be no show. As long as Roxxxy can bring it come show time, she’s a deserving winner in my book.
ReplyDeleteI waffled between Jinkx and Alaska--Roxxxy' personality put me off her--but after viewing, again, Jinkx as Little Edie, and then in the courtroom challenge, I am so utterly Team Jinkx!!!
ReplyDeleteALASKA!!!!!!!
