It’s no secret that fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race expect reveal after reveal in the season finale, and yesterday’s season 11 finale did not let people down. Since season 9, the final four queens have faced off tournament-style in a lipsync battle royale. And the winners always do a little something more than just moving their lips and dancing on stage.
