The judging has to be the most questionable and inconsistent of any season. I've never seen a worse Top 4 with such obvious favoritism except in an All Stars Season. Arguably the most deserving ones went home mid season.
An eliminated contestant inexplicably comes back without any other contestants having the opportunity to do so.
There was one Queen who the judges think is "so fun" and they tell her this constantly, despite her being objectively the worst almost every week. So they keep her around to the end, but the story line was so obviously forced that it seems like the producers ultimately felt they had to choose another contestant to win to leave a shred of credibility. And the winning queen was arguably most deserving of the top 4 but... that's not saying much.
