Congrats to Symone on winning RuPaul's Rigged Race! I agree with other reviewers that this was the most lackluster finale of the show so far. No one truly served a great lip sync and I couldn't wait for it be over.

I do take issue with people being mad that Kandy made it to the final two lip sync. During their lip sync, Rosé acted like she wanted to be literally anywhere else and Kandy was at least moving around the stage doing something. And we ALL know that Mik is not a lip syncer. She was saved from the bottom twice and production can only carry a queen so far. She flopped in the lip sync and that's that on that.

Can we also be rid of the lip sync for the crown??? It's a dead and tired format and this season was truly the nail in the coffin.

Production really shot themselves in the foot this season with zero story arcs and zero stories period. The editing highly favored a select few queens so when it was time to announce Miss Congeniality, I honestly had no idea who would win. And I really didn't care.

I will always cherish seeing queer artistry being celebrated on a large platform, but without some serious reworking, the show doesn't have much more to offer.
