I was absolutely filled with rage and now I’m just disappointed and confused. What a terrible and completely bamboozling end to a fantastic series of Drag Race.

Lawrence’s win makes little to no sense other than only three things I can think in her favour : a) a plus-size queen has never won a series of drag race before, b) she’s Scottish and c) she has the most conventional personality for a web series (but that doesn’t mean she’s necessarily gonna be the most popular on a web series I’m sure both Bimini and Tayce would garner more views.)

The edit has been largely in her favour all season but she’s been severely underwhelming since the return from the break. None of her challenge wins I necessarily agree with (A’Whora deserved her first two wins in my opinion and just a Bimini/Tayce win should’ve been handed out for the girl groups.) They’ve saved her every week despite her being shown to flummox basically every challenge.

Her treatment of Ellie the last couple of weeks has been uncomfortable viewing too... it just all makes very little sense to me. I’m just gutted by this.

This win was Bimini’s she has wiped the floor with every other queen in the competition since the return from the break. The fans clearly agreed too... just gutting.

Rankings:

1. A’Whora
2. Tayce
3. Bimini
4. Tia

5. Asttina
6. Veronica
7. Cherry

8. Ellie
9. Joe

10. Lawrence
11. Ginny
12. Sister Sister

Appealing to Ru and Michelle’s childish unintelligent sense of humour always gets extra brownie points.

You made the entire series about race and have now changed your tune to be about Lawrence's weight. Just shush.

After seeing the final routine and runway I'm even more let down. Lawrence was bad and her final look was the weakest of the 4.

Such a good series with a meh winner.

This makes me love him more

I'm ecstatic Lawrence won! The hate on here for him kept me from posting, but my side of the world watching it love him. Anyone I know watching had a soft spot for him, so it's very easy to see why he was a contender for the crown. Bimini had a great second half of season, and would have also been a worthy winner... but Lawrence was my favorite from day one.

Congrats to Scotland, Big Queens and Comedy Queens! It's a great day!

He's an underwhelming winner, it's like if Gigi won Season 12 despite bombing the second half of the season. It just didn't feel right. It's a decision that has made the season worse in retrospect. Just a really unsatisfying end.
