Season 13, Episode 17
7/10
Pretty Good Finale, Especially Considering Circumstancess
24 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I don't know why I bother going to IMDb anymore for this season, since it feels like stan twitter, with people rushing to give episodes 1 star and dramaticize their personal disappointments.

Anyway, it was a pretty well produced finale. I'm glad they managed to have the final four together unlike last year, and have some semblance of normalcy, minus the audience.

The final ball was actually incredible, with some truly astonishing looks. The interviews were fun and breezy overall. It was nice seeing the messages from home. Chi Chi's memorial section was beautiful and emotional.

The lipsyncs were a bit disappointing overall. I think the show needs to move beyond this format, and go back to something like season 8 with individual performances, but taking the entire season into account. Drag Race Thailand season 2 had it figured out in that regard.

The winner wasn't my personal fav, but it can't be argued that she isn't deserving.
