Rupaul's Drag Race Season 5

[Native Son]

^ I though she was good on the finale, but true, not the most sparkling personality on that one.

The bright side being that she was...ready for her close-up.

OMG. The mirror in my bedroom just spontaneously cracked when I said that.

Jynx!

She snuck up on me, she really did - quite honestly, I had pegged Alaska as the winner just on cynicism alone, and lost some interest.

That is, until Jynx did Malambo No. 1 and crushed Detox. Seriously, the difference in style was STAGGERING - she even out crazy-mouthed the girl! Glad a comedy queen won, though for me if I choose comedy, I'm still loving Pandora.

I wasn't that as into it this season as I was with season 3, and hell, even 4 got better with time. It felt that it went too much with "the big drama", and when those queens got the boot, Roxxxy tried to assume the role of HBIC... and you see where that got her.

Come to think of it, I think every season had a big bitch in third place except season 2 and 3. Rebecca Glasscock, Phi Phi O'Hara, and now Roxxxy... eh, they never learn. Then again, Tyra and Raja won(one obviously, the other... eh, I can go either way), so there's that theory shot down...

I'm surprised you thought Alaska was going to win. I thought Jinkx was a threat by Snatch Game and then I figured she pretty much had it on lock by the Telenovela episode. I was hoping Alaska was going to win, but I had a feeling that Jinkx's misstep at final four was just what was needed to throw people off of her being the obvious winner.

I honestly felt like that song was a shoe-in for Jinkx. If she had bombed it, I would have been stunned. It was just the kind of old-fashioned song that I thought Jinkx would rock and she did.

I too am glad a comedy queen won and although I would have liked to see what Pandora could have done with more time, I think Jinkx and Alaska both had a better runway look than Pandora.
