The top five of our season are given the full final-four treatment?

The bottom two this week wereactuallythe bottom two?

She doesnt look shook, like Vanjie, or chaotic, like Silky.

She is ready for television, damn it.

when you see her.

The bitch is branding!

In her preseason Meet the Queens interview, her wig was twice as big as this.

Where is that AKeria?

Because its fully the penultimate episode of the show.

This is the final runway!

Hold the butterflies, of course.

Did the passion not read because the camera was five yards farther away from her than any other queen?

Who is mad when they watch any of her performances?

I mean, weve seen her in better drag than this.

Also, the being en pointe of it all hits a little less hard when weve seen it before.

She also rarely, if ever, stumbled in performance challenges, even winning Snatch Game.

Do you kinda see what Im saying here?

Regardless, Brooke Lynn Hytes has 100 percent earned her spot in the finals.

Shell be tough to beat for the crown.

Even Masc Todrick is impressed when Silky mostly nails the tough choreography he has laid out for the ladies.

What I appreciate about Silky is that she is always fucking going for it, despite it all.

Its completely chaotic and wild, but its also go-for-broke in a way I appreciate.

Its extra comical to watch her after Brooke Lynn Hytes, who truly never seems to miss a step.

If you dont like this, why are you watching this show?

On the runway, Silky looks absolutely beautiful.

This may be what loses the crown this time for Silky.

(I say this time because she has All Stars written all over her, truly.)

I think we would all like to see a plus-size queen win.

Tell me you dont think Eureka OHara rips the competition apart this year, if shes here.

Godspeed to the Revered.

Vanessa Vanjie MateoNo one could say, ever, that Miss Vanjie is not a star.

That is not up for debate.

From the second she left the competition last year, it was clear.

In the rehearsal, Vanessa is slaying.

Todrick is simply not worried about her, and neither are we.

But the thing is, Vanjie is human.

Something happens when the camera transitions from Silkys verse to Vanjies.

Maybe its that shes a little slow on the first couple steps and that throws her off.

Maybe the edit didnt show that she actually was struggling more during rehearsal than we thought.

There is no connection between her and the audience.

The verse simply isnt attacked the way weve been led to believe it will be.

Vanjies final runway is pretty.

It would be fantastic at a senior prom.

But nothing about it says anything about her personality or gives any of the Vanjie flavor.

Theres no danger in this look.

Its just a gorgeous dress.

She looks facially beautiful, but its difficult to say that this is going to be enough.

And in the end, it isnt.

She is authentically and singularly her.

On the other hand, I find her personality and attitude to be more than grating.

This all being said, she executes her shit.

She is obviously the most memorable and impressive verse in this Queens Everywhere song, no doubt about it.

Her final runway look completes the assignment more than any of her competitors.

It is Yvies brand and Best Drag, but make it Final Runway.

Three tits, three eyes, and I think three assholes?

She soars into the Top Four, deservedly.

Maybe the fact that she is the closest thing to an original means she should be this seasons winner.

But also, maybe fuck all this and Kameron Michaels fully wins this season if shes here?

I dont know, bitch.

Do we really expect to not see Brooke Lynn Hytes in the finale?

Again, I say, sure.

You have to laugh.

), but Im willing to be proved wrong with an explosive lip-sync tournament finale.

And Im sureDrag Racewill find a way to give us that.
