Honestly it's going to end up becoming a three-way fight between Gottmik, Symone, and Rose. Anyone of them could win this and I wouldn't be upset with either one.
Season 11 is definitely the low point of the series. The much maligned Season 7 has been vindicated over time, I think.
I'm surprised Rose is leading any polls. Symone has had the highest highs of the season, and Gottmik has been incredibly consistent and well-rounded, not to mention her win would be historic. Rose's been consistent, too, but at a lower level than Gottmik.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."
I think this is a good example of splitting the vote. Symone & Gottmik are clearly winner material, at about an even skill level. So most people are split and are voting for one of them as the winner. If you add their votes together, it puts Rose behind that. Since the winner will actually be chosen by Ru alone, not by votes, nothing is split and I suspect it will go to either Symone or Gottmik, with the other getting second and Rose getting third. Khandi who?

Yeah, I mean, Rose is fine. She’s very talented but I think she’s a less exciting choice than the other two. But not surprised the cisgender white male is the fan favorite.
So no ones going home this week? If there’s a Kandi and Symone lip synch the earth might shatter.
Haven’t really posted on this thread this season but boy is this season a chore. This is a very talented group of queens but it’s just gone on for too long. Why couldn’t they have aired UK Drag Race here in the US if the reason for the extra long season was because of no Celebrity Drag Race? My pre season picks to go all the way this season were Symone and Gottmik and clearly they’re the front runners to win the crown. Rose is the one who’s really grown on me throughout the season though as I didn’t pay much attention to her at all starting out. She definitely piqued at the right time. I’d actually bet on Gottmik taking the crown this year. She’s been consistently good and her runway lewk’s are breathtaking. Last week I was gagged by Symone’s pocket runway and didn’t think anyone would top it..... until Mik came out... damn. I can see Gottmik taking the crown and then in a few years Symone going on All Stars and dominating the season and winning; Similar to Shea and Sasha.
What a waste of an episode. The song was a dud, the individual performances a snooze, and only Simone's runway look was anything interesting. And to top it all off, the unspeakable Kandi continues her hideous run.
If RuPaul does the unthinkable and gives the crown to Kandi, I'll never watch the show again.

I don't understand all the complaining about this season. We've known for a while that it was going to be 16 episodes, and other than Sherry Pie's disqualification, it's been a final four since season 9. For me, too much Drag Race is never a bad thing.
Sure, Kandy stayed longer than she should have, and it would be a travesty if she won, but she definitely stepped it up last night. In my opinion, the only misstep by anyone was Rosé's final runway. The concept was fine, but it was bulky and shapeless, and I thought it was really unflattering.
I still think it's a really solid top 4, though. I'm Team Symone all the way, but I think they've all earned their place in the finale, even Kandy.

Agreed. I don't get the Kandy hate. I think she's had a terrific season, and I look forward to a possible All-Stars run.
Gotmik or Symone seems like the true top 2, though. I'll be happy to see either take the crown.
I don't get the Kandi love. Her drag is cheap and cheesy and slutty without being interesting or amusing or sexy, she's got no intelligence or wit whatsoever. Clearly RuPaul disagrees.
I'm also getting tired of every episode turning into a weepathon, all about their inner saboteurs and their dreadful childhoods. It's a drag race, not a therapy session.

That is why I had zero interest in watching Untucked. I changed channels, 30 seconds after it started.
I actually want both Gottmik & Symone to win. If Ru really wants to, she can crown two. It's her show and she's not afraid to shake it up to keep it interesting.

Be grateful that you have your family, your health, a roof over your head, food on your table, a job..... Super grateful for a reality tv show? I hear the Twilight Zone theme. DOO DOO DOO DOODOO DOO
You can be grateful for anything that gives you joy. I can certainly understand being grateful for a long season of a reality show more than continuing to watch one that constantly annoys me.
This season, I've gotten in the habit of watching The Pit Stop after each episode. Trixie and her guests have such a fun, intelligent way of recapping the show, which really puts everything in perspective. It's really the antidote to toxic fandom.
