Can't wait for Heidi winning that Miss Congeniality title, since really it's obvious Gigi is gonna win the whole thing anyway.

Regardless of the results tonight, I think it was a fine season. It's not top tier, not bottom tier. It was nice, but really I'm lukewarm about this season. It had good moments, talent was there but something felt odd. Missing some wow or iconic moments to me.
I usually rewatch some episodes before the finale, but not this year. I could rewatch all of Heidi's confessionnals though.

Anyway, enjoy the finale!

Quick straw poll: in the hypothetical scenario that finale spoilers were to leak (even if they were just, say, "so-and-so queen wears a blue dress"), would people want them posted in a separate spoilers thread, or would people rather spoilers were kept away from the forum completely?

As I said, completely hypothetical

[Saph]

I mean.. if they were in a separate thread I wouldn't be able to resist peeking in

Jaida to win

I actually feel quite confident about her chances. I can’t see Ru (does he even have the last say these days?) crowning two quirky queens back to back. It make sense for production to save Crystal for an All-Star season considering her popularity, and Gigi lost the crown immediately after the fan reaction to her Madonna-challenge win. She never recovered after that. It reminds me of the rumours that Ginger was supposed to win S7 but some of the fanbase’s vocal dislike for her changed that.

You can put them here but with a spoilers tag.
Once the finale aired, I will update the thread title with (spoilers) in it.

The only spoilers I've seen are of the queen's looks, and I wouldn't really call them a spoiler tbh

Oh hang on I'm just reading that Jaida and Crystal both win whilst RuPaul calls Gigi a basic ****ing bitch in the coronation speech! Wow! Shook!

I'd rather not fill this thread with spoilers tbh - this feels like a fun thread for pre-finale speculation and predictions, and I'd worry that spoilers (whether they were true or complete horlicks) would deter people who want to avoid them from being excited about the finale, since there'd inevitably be at least one veiled "I'm so happy/annoyed/horny at that result!" comment left out in the open that would give the whole thing away for everyone

Separate thread IMO.

[MB.]

Thanks all, separate thread coming right up. In the event that any spoilers come out I'll do my best to avoid alluding to them in here, so if everyone else could do the same then we'll all have a gay old time

As we wait for the pre-show build-up to begin (I think there's social media stuff starting from 9pm?), let us take the time to pay tribute to the greatest finale (week) look of all time:

Bro, that would be such a deserving tie though
