Drag Race viewers celebrate the first ever Queen of All Queens
The first-ever winners’ season of RuPaul’s Drag Race came to an unforgettable close this week with six epic lip-sync smackdowns.
Last week’s episode, which saw the beloved winners compete in a variety extravaganza with original tracks, powerhouse vocals and intense choreo, dwindled the top eight down to four: Jinkx Monsoon, Monét X Change, Shea Couleé and Trinity the Tuck.
Just when viewers thought the twists and turns and goops and gags were over, Broom announced that, in addition to the Lip-Sync LaLaPaRUza, a second tournament would be held amongst the other four queens to determine the “Queen of She Done Already Done Had Herses,” which comes with a $50,000 cash prize.
After defeating The Vivienne and Jaida Essence Hall in their respective lip-syncs, Yvie Oddly and Raja faced-off to the beat of Eurythmics and Aretha Franklin’s iconic empowerment anthem Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves.
