Drag race season 13 winner1/15/2024 The wheel is spun and lands on Kandy and then spun again and lands on Rosé. A real roller coaster of loving Ru and being annoyed with Ru in the span of 30 seconds. Then there’s a video message from Cory Booker for some reason. ![]() This year Ru says FREE BRITNEY with a trifecta of songs by the one and only pop icon. God what a fucking rough year this has been!!įinally, it’s time to begin the lip syncs. The whole thing was really emotional and I especially loved Heidi talking about how Chi Chi inspired her by being so magnetic on the show even with fewer resources. Ru then introduces a tribute to Chi Chi DeVayne featuring Bob and Kennedy and so many others. To honor that history and the recent pandemic, the top four perform in a music video to Bette Middler’s “Friends” where they’re all out of drag watching themselves in drag fight to be the center diva on stage. Ru says that 2021 marks the 40th anniversary of the first reported case of AIDS. The finale family stuff always make me so hungry for more info about what’s going on in all these dynamics! She gets a sweet message from her mom and grandma and she says she just wants her mom to be proud of her. ![]() I really like the suggestion that to be political is simply to be honest about who you really are. Ru asks Symone about her drag as activism and she says she always wants to say something and be herself. They chat about Rihanna DMing her, which I would argue is even cooler than winning Drag Race. She says that Rihanna is her icon while adding that she’s a mix of Lil’ Kim and Whitney Houston. But I think when things get really competitive she sinks into pageant mode and loses all her charm! That said, the video message from Rosé’s family feels so authentic and a supportive family seems like a pretty good consolation prize for not winning Drag Race.įinally, Symone. Look, I’ve liked Rosé from the beginning. Rosé reveals that she got a sprained ankle but says that nothing would stop her from being there tonight. ![]() Kandy says her moms have always been her support system. One of Kandy’s moms pops in with another video message and it’s very genuine and sweet. Kandy relates to Ru as a Scorpio and brushes off her feud with Tamisha. The show moves in alphabetical order so Kandy Muse is up next. Then Gottmik’s parents give a whatever message that results in Gottmik saying the very diplomatic: “I’m so happy to see they support me.” I love Gottmik, but not as much as Ru!! Paris Hilton shows up on video and joins in on the lovefest and Gottmik shares that Paris was her first celebrity client. The montage introducing her really highlights just how great she’s been all season. Ru then speaks to the top four one-by-one, starting with Gottmik. And Symone is half goddess half warrior, her right side in gold armor and a white hair crown on her head. Rosé is dressed like the Queen of Scotland. Gottmik wears a dress that shows her now famous nipples and a visible red heart. And Symone is in a dress made entirely of red nails. Kandy is in a tight leather dress with headphones and a long ponytail. Gottmik’s look is inspired by Keith Haring. And Symone has her first of SEVERAL perfect looks with a bandana hair piece under giant hair and a giant dress with a giant bustle.Ĭategory two is Red. Rosé is doing her best Audrey Hepburn and it is… so much. Kandy is wearing a dress that says BLM from her hat down to the hem. The first category is Black and White starting with the pinhead Pandora’s box look that got Gottmik to shave her head. The next act is a trio of runways with our wonderful top four. ![]() The finale ended up feeling bigger, not smaller, than previous years - an impressive feat given the limitations. But the editing is really sharp and gives the feel of an audience. Instead there’s a drive-in screening hosted by season 12 winner, Fenty model, and all around stunner Jaida Essence Hall. The finale is once again at the Ace Hotel in Los Angeles, but there is, of course, no audience. She performs her new song “Old Friends Silver, New Friends Gold” showing us her very best. But season 13 is finally over and the rightful winner has been crowned.īut first Ru opens the show by reminding us that she may be 60, she may have a reality TV empire, she may frack on the side for extra cash, but she’s still RuPaul Charles. From New Year’s Day to late April, we’ve watched thirteen queens across sixteen episodes plus a pandemic special. This is a recap of Rupaul’s Drag Race Season 13 Finale.
