She very much did not–although I did not really see the flaws in her performance that the judges did. Last week, we suggested that Kandy Muse could still be alive if she went into the Final Four on a two-game winning streak. On to the foregone conclusion of her being tagged Miss C next week and then, as I’ve been saying for weeks, she will surely return for an All-Stars down the road, and when that happened, if we’re still handicapping, she’ll enter as a heavy favorite. That said, our flags stand at half mast as we stan a queen who barely even registered on the passive-aggressive scale. However, it was a clever gambit that fell flat in the eyes of those who counted. Furthermore, I’m not sure what the judges did not see in her performance in the mini-movie (heh, mini-movie) as she truly did transform at the end. However, her luster dimmed long ago, and while to a degree, the judges were a bit unfair to judge her as doing the same character when they simultaneously heap praise on others for… doing the same character (cough: Gottmik). It’s hard to not feel that if Olivia had turned it out in Snatch Game, she could have kept her momentum. They had indeed been punching above their weight and as good as the early success looked, they never REALLY stood a chance.ĭid Olivia ever truly have a chance to win–or was she like Hull, simply not ready for prime time. 17 games and zero wins later, they barely stayed in the Premier League, only b/c other teams lost. as an example of a non-contender, so in the Fall of 2008 when they were atop the table early on, I was swept into the excitement. He clued me into the sad truth that even more than with most sports, there were a few moneyed teams and if you were not in that group you barely stood a chance. However, after a torrid start where Olivia Lux just kept revealing hidden skill after hidden skill, it’s a bit of a disappointment to see her bow out before the finale.Įxcuse me for a sports metaphor, but years ago a British roomie got me into English League football. But someone was destined to stay and the other go home, and that latter contestant was… Sashay’d Away: Olivia Lux (LW:5)īefore the season started, a fifth place finish would have seemed above and beyond expectations for the pretty piano bar devotee from the Philly side of Jersey who had only been doing drag for one year. However, they had to name two people to lip sync–and they made it pretty clear in their summations that whatever happened on the last song, neither queen had a flicker of a chance to win the 100k. If we’re being 100, no one really had a bad day (and the judges should have been clearer about that). The Queens had to put together a parody of the 1990s flim Honey, I Shrunk The Kids–Rick Moranis would have been the best judge ever, but given what happened to him last year, we understand why he might want to never go out again. This week’s maxi-challenge was an acting challenge. Speaking of which, if they don’t give Olivia Lux at least that title, then the award has zero meaning. There should be a place for “Nice Queens” on this show, especially when there is a prize given each year for Miss Congeniality. It irks me every time when a queen is read for not throwing the others under the bus when the dreaded “who should go home?” question rears its stupid head. As a fan of this form, I’ll have to work through my own issues about the way many in the RDR world see kindness as weakness. She had not for weeks shown much at all to show she should be America’s Next Superstar, but it was still devastating. We ended the regular season of RuPaul’s Drag Race with one of the cheeriest, kindest queens ever to grace the stage or workroom finally sashaying away.
