RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 6 moves to Paramount
After 16 weeks (or was it 16 months?) of tough competition, the final of the RuPaul Drag Race on Friday closed the book about one of the most twisted seasons in history.
The main event on Friday is a definite one Improvement over last season’s purely virtual final, although it’s not quite the spectacle fans have gotten used to. Our top 4 – Gottmik, Kandy Muse, Rose and Symone – compete against each other for the crown.
On the way to the long-awaited coronation, 44 percent of TVLine readers expected that the night would end with Symone as America’s next drag superstar , followed by Gottmik (31 percent) and Rosé (22 percent). As for Miss Congeniality, most readers assumed that Olivia Lux would be honored.
The night began with Grande Dame RuPaul performing « New Friends Silver, Old Friends Gold, » which raised the bar put. The top 4 adorned the stage for one last runway, a drag ball, and showed their best fashion in the categories “Black and White”, “Red Everywhere” and “Grand Finale Eleganza Extravaganza”. Touchingly, the finale was also a heartfelt tribute to Chi Chi DeVayne, who passed away in August.
A Britney Spears-themed final four-lip dubbing began with Rose and Kandy Muse following the melody of “Work B – ch “faced. This also gave us the first elimination of the night Ru Rose flew away.
On the second lip-sync, Symone took on Gottmik in a fierce battle against Britney’s « Gimme More ». It was a close call, but Symone was declared the winner and Gottmik was kicked out of the competition.
And just like that, we were Kandy Muse and Symone as the last two queens of season 13. Her fate was ultimately determined by Britney’s « Till the World Ends », a wild fight in which both competitors had to leave everything on the stage.
When the dust and glitter had subsided, RuPaul made the big announcement: the winner Season 13 is… Symone!
(As for Miss Congeniality, LaLa Ri was actually given that honor. May she rule long.)
