#7:Jade vs Rebecca Glasscock TOP 6
Lipsync Song:Would I lie to you? By The Eurythmics
Known for:Having the first split in drag race herstory and for Rebecca Glasscock’s unnecessary pulling of Jade’s hair.
Who stayed:Rebecca Glasscock
Who should have stayed:Jade
Thoughts:
Honestly this lipsync was a damn mess and it was All Rebecca Glasscock’s fault.Rebecca was porta potty trash the entire lipsync. She had zero energy and watermelon cantalouped half the song. Jade gave you drama and gave us the first split ever in drag herstory which by default should have made her the winner. The fact that Rebecca Glasscock even pulled jades hair makes me think she should’ve been eliminated by default. Yes Jade was doing sexual moves on Rebecca but it was for the song and she wasn’t being aggressive. The fact that Rebecca Glasscock pulled a Pre Mimi Imfurst and still got to stay still blows my mind. Drag is not a contact sport. https://twitter.com/lgbtvelour/status/844584909251493888
#6:Rebecca Glasscock vs Shannel TOP 4
Lipsync Song:Shackles by Mary Mary
Known for:Shannel’s ass wiggle at the end
Who stayed:Rebecca Glasscock
Who should have stayed:Both under certain circumstances. Rebecca deserved to stay because Shannel wanted to go home however judging by the lipsync Shannel did better.
Thoughts:
Honestly love the song. The lipsync not so much. I can say though at least Rebecca Glasscock knew the words this time and at least gave a little energy. However Shannel did a better job and her dancing went with the song more. Shannel probably would have stayed had she not volunteered to go home and it sucks but that’s the game for ya. Rebecca really kinda got lucky however she didn’t do bad necessarily. I think Shannel did better. Just an underwhelming lipsync. https://twitter.com/lgbtvelour/status/844586535068598273
#5:Akashia vs Porkchop TOP 9
Lipsync Song:SuperModel by Rupaul
Known for:Being the first lipsync in drag race herstory.
Who stayed:Akashia
Who should have stayed:Akashia
Thoughts:
Honestly this lipsync was just ok. Akashia’s outfit worked with the song more so that definitely gave her an advantage.plus she knew the words. Victoria was a mess and didn’t know the words and almost fell during the lipsync. It was honestly just ok Neither of them Wowed me.The first lipsync in drag race herstory so I guess that’s memorable. https://twitter.com/lgbtvelour/status/844581546472488962
#4:Akashia vs Tammie Brown TOP 8
Lipsync Song:Break The Dawn by Michelle Williams
Known for:Tammie Brown giving up and Akashia making Michelle Williams cry.
Who stayed:Akashia
Who should have stayed:Definitely Akashia
Thoughts:
Tammie Brown will forever be one of my favorite queens but the fact that she gave up kinda sucked. I mean she probably would have lost anyways but at least try. Akashia truly slaughtered Tammie with this lipsync and once again her outfit gave her a small advantage. She nailed the words and even made Michelle Williams cry. Akashia did very well and rightfully deserved to win. https://twitter.com/lgbtvelour/status/844582625440382976
#3:Akashia vs Shannel TOP 7
Lipsync Song:The Greatest Love Of All by Whitney Houston
Known for:Shannel’s accidental wig reveal.
Who stayed:Shannel
Who should have stayed:Shannel
Thoughts:
Well Akashia lipsyncing 3 times in a row didn’t help her at all so she was fucked before the lipsync tbh however she still held her own and knew all the words. I think what stopped her is that she didn’t show enough emotion like Shannel. Shannel gave emotion, she gave drama,and kept going despite her wig falling off and in a way it give her that slight edge to be better than Akashia. Good lipsync though tbh they both did well. https://twitter.com/lgbtvelour/status/844584220441919489
#2:Bebe Zahara Benet vs Nina Flowers FINALE
Lipsync Song:Covergirl by Rupaul
Known for:Being the lipsync to decide the first ever winner.
Who stayed:Bebe Zahara Benet
Who Should have stayed:Nina Flowers
Thoughts:
God damn this was a good fucking lipsync.its truly so hard because they both truly killed it and scalped my wig however I feel that Nina channeled the song a liiittle bit more with her dancing. Bebe gave it a comedic edge which still worked but didn’t fit the song as well. She still did fantastic though tbh I mean well deserved I just... Idk. I think Nina really deserved the crown. She had the best track record and she did slightly better in the lipsync but it is what it is. The 2nd best lipsync of the season. https://twitter.com/lgbtvelour/status/844587416929386500
#1:Bebe Zahara Benet vs Ongina TOP 5
Lipsync Song:Stronger by Britney Spears
Known for:Bebe’s wig reveal and Rupaul leaving the judges panel after.
Who stayed:Bebe Zahara Benet
Who should have Stayed:Both of them
Thoughts:
Easily the best lipsync of the season.
I mean they both killed it. Both gave drama. Both gave energy. Both knew the words. And both were memorable in the lipsync. Honestly should have been the first double save tbh. Neither of them deserved to go home and the fact that Ongina went home over Rebecca Trashcock still astonishes me. The fact that Ongina was even in the bottom 2 this episode astonishes me but anyways. Tbh If I had to pick one I would say Ongina did slightly better because Bebe took off her wig but honestly it doesn’t matter they both slayed the fuck out of this and it would have been a sad and undeserving elimination regardless of who went home (Which Is why I think Ru should have saved them both but oh well) still an amazing lipsync and the best lipsync of season 1. https://twitter.com/lgbtvelour/status/844585575944478721
