RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 16 is coming to a detailed. Within the grand finale, these queens will sashay their attractive selves down the stage one last time. Following this, the highest three finalists will change into competitors mode, hoping to earn the title of America’s Subsequent Drag Celebrity. Oh yeah, they’ll even be duking duchessing it out for a cool $200K money prize.
When you ask me, Sapphira Cristál, Nymphia Wind, and Airplane Jane are all deserving of this yr’s win. They’ve every received expertise, coronary heart, and wit oozing out of them in spades. That stated, I might additionally see two of those queens slaying us once more, through RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars. This leaves one identify as the ultimate winner, in my view at the very least.
Even nonetheless, this unimaginable solid has received me torn, so if I might select how the Season 16 finale performed out, I’d go along with a triple-crowing first. If denied, then I’d have Sapphira and Nymphia scoring a double crowning. But, neither of those will possible be our given state of affairs, as a result of nothing ever works out in my favor. Due to this fact, right here’s who I feel will win, beginning on the prime.
1) Sapphira Cristál
Mom Sapphira is a consummate skilled. Her polished, mature, nurturing presence makes her the highest runner for me. As for her efficiency expertise, Sapphira continuously instructions the stage, and when she’s werking, it’s all eyes on her. For my part, she’s additionally fairly clearly RuPaul’s favourite.
Additionally, it’s time for a confession. When Sapphira battled it out in her lip-synching efficiency to Break My Soul, sporting flouncy, prosthetic, tassel-adorned breasts, I died roughly 18 occasions from my lounge sofa. Generally, I watch this clip after my whole home has emptied for the day. Then, channeling a Ok-Mart Blue Gentle Particular version of our Mom, I’ll begin my laundry, flailing round just like the queen that I’m when nobody else is current.
In any case, when it comes to Sapphira’s sheer grit and willpower, it’s past excessive. You see, this queen first auditioned for this present again in Season 5. After this casting try didn’t see her securing a spot, she continued to audition for an additional 11 seasons. When Season 16 rolled round, her efforts paid off, as Sapphira lastly received the gig.
For my part, Sapphira’s story arch would greatest be accomplished now with a win. As an apart, I additionally kinda suppose that she’ll be strolling away with the Miss Congeniality title, however on that, we’ll simply have to attend and see. I imply, don’t inform my husband, however typically, I may be flawed.
2) Nymphia Wind
Pay attention, I’ll slip and fall (and perhaps even die) on Nymphia’s banana peel, that’s how a lot I am keen on this iconic queen. If she can not tie for first with Sapphira, then I feel that she’ll find yourself putting a really shut second. As an entire, this queen’s gifted and likable, and I’ll be so unhappy when she’s now not on my display.
Nymphia’s additionally the very best seamstress that we’ve ever seen on this competitors. As well as, she’s additionally proven us her vulnerability, which has made her extraordinarily relatable. When Nymphia revealed to us all her internal monologue(s), which had her evaluating herself to the sweetness requirements that individuals of shade see, compared to their white counterparts, I teared up. Whether or not she ties in for the win or she locations a detailed second, this banana goddess will without end be a hit in my eyes.
This all stated, ought to she certainly place second, Nymphia has the charisma to go on and additional werk it on RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars. Due to this fact, I do know full nicely that no matter occurs, Nymphia will stay booked and blessed shifting ahead.
Airplane Jane
There’s nothing plain about Airplane Jane. She’s attractive and comedic, and he or she’s additionally past gifted, each on stage and within the werkroom. As well as, she is aware of tips on how to be a complete b*tch when wanted. Principally, she’s the whole lot that I’d ever hope to see in a drag queen.
Despite the fact that Airplane Jane provides nice shade, her coronary heart and her humor are equally sturdy, so her presence actually made this season nice. Whereas I’d like to see Miss Jane if ya nasty due to this fact taking the win, I wholeheartedly imagine that the producers need her again for All-Stars, making Season 16 not hers for the taking. General, I feel that her story isn’t completed being advised, so wherever she seems subsequent, I’ll be there, cheering her on.
Once more, I’m tremendous completely happy to be flawed on all of this, as a result of that is simply a kind of seasons the place all three of our finalists are past deserving of the America’s Subsequent Drag Celebrity title.
