The crowning is taped several times with Ru saying the name of each finalist. The queens will only find out who really won on the day the episode is aired.
Wait sooo they each have to react to winning the crown, the previous winner has to hand the sceptre to each finalist and they each have to walk the stage?? Imaging watching this in the theatre I’ll be so baffled
The jinx, roxy, alaska one is everything, it's fucking hilarious. Jinx almost in pain with shock, roxy doing her best pageant girl smile and alaska having a literal meltdown.
Diego Castillo Alaska and Sharon broke up that night, and prior to the crowning, Alaska went up to Jinkx and told her that she actually wants Jinkx to win, but she is a very sore loser. So yeah that’s what happened.
@@elji02 >That's the only reason to join that show No, exposure is a bigger reason - as girls say, you get more money from gigs. And those who have solo gigs like Katya, Trixie and Bianca get even more - listen to RuPaul's podacst where Kata was a guest
Well, Alaska told Jinkx beforehand that she knew she was gonna win and that she would be happy for her but also warned her that she is a sore loser. Maybe you already know this but just fyi :)
I think it was utter disappointment to confusion then to acceptance all in one death glare. "Not me?" "Why you?" "Oh its you. Its alright, come hug me." As Manila said, "I dont know what could I have done differently."
Hm... I love Manila but you can tell she was not being super sincere about being happy for Raja... I mean Raja had to walk to her to get a hug. But I respect her for not being fake and genuinely looking pissed off lol. I mean, that side eye at 0:51 before smiles! THAT is her genuine emotion in that moment.
@@jean-francoisdaignault9612 well yeah, her small interview after Raja's win she very clearly stated she was pissed off but still happy for her and jokes about when Raja dies, she'll get the crown 😂😂
@@Cashcash08 did you see her gourgeous runways? And also she did the best she can to just be safe or not land in bottom 2 and also the rules were bended in kim chi's favor but thats a whole other story
@@enti1102 yep I see her run way looks and she can't even walk decent in the run way. This ain't project runway, this is rpdr. So apparently, giving your "best" even tho her best is subpar compared to the other queens, you'll get to the finale. Those dance performances, she should've lip synced for that. And she better be thankful that she was highly favored during that time coz ifever that she will be lipsyncing for her life, that's a guarantee sashay away. Her lip sync was horrible in the finale. Ugh Jesus, Gross.
Why am I the only one who thinks since rupaul crowned 2 winners for AS4 and blew 200 thousand dollars THATS WHY SEASON 11s promo is more.... resourceful
@@Amelia-zm3qd It's because they film every top 3/4 queens getting the crown to avoid the spoilers (the finale is in front of an audience, you know what I mean?), so the queen who wins just know that she has the crown with everyone, watching the show live
My favourite reaction is Violet 100%. You can just tell they were all expecting Ginger to win and it came as a total shock, while most other reactions were a relieved "I knew it" kind of excitement
@@TuruncanI really do think the producers (In the course of he season) where pushing Ginger and expecting her to take it, I just think they didn't expect the public to dislike her so much. I think it was the first time public disliked really swayed the vote
@@robertqld Yes I agree.. Ginger got a winners edition, there is something about her incredible fake. At the finale she said to Ru; I am humbled to be even considered to be here.... with that innocent face, and seconds later " I dont want to win because I am fat, but because I came with guns and killed the competition" with such an arrogant expression on her face...I was shocked! , I remember thinking "you did not kill the competition and you sound delusional and arrogant" I think in that very moment she lost the crown........ Also Violet looked amazing at the finale and her act was the best by far..
Love, that Gingers Face snapped for a second, because she was so sure, that she was winning, but realized quickly that she lost and put on her peagent face to celebrate Violet!
Kim looking at Bob and telling her "you deserve it" and Peppermint immediately hugging Sasha and saying "I'm so proud of you" are two of the most gracious reactions ever. They just found out they lost the crown and their first instinct was to congratulate their friend instead of being sad for themselves.
@@andrewmark2783 I mean, there WAS a chance she and Adore were crowned together. They filmed this alternative, even. Imo it would've been another good possibility, Adore evolved a lot in the competition (from that messy Honey Boo Boo crap to winning a sewing challenge for the Glitter Ball!), and so did Bianca (softening herself and learning from new queens instead of hiding behind her protection). I truly believe both winning would've been very accepted by rpdr fans.
@@heyitsmira17 Bianca was never losing season 6. Doesn't matter how much any of the other Queens evolved, it was written in the stars that she was winning!
@@heyitsmira17 that would have been unfair to Courtney. Courtney's beauty has always been underrated in the show. And also how polished she was. She did not deserve ANY of her low placements. In this show being beautiful and fishy is a disgrace basically, because the judges dismiss your talent. That's crazy. I am glad that at least Aquaria won. She was indeed hated by the fans at the beginning for being beautiful, young and confident (jealousy) but I am glad that she killed the competition so hard that they gave her the crown. I was already expecting Eureka to win just to make the overweight audience happy.
@@icydelight3693 YES! Finally someone says it, thank you. Courtney was so underrated on her season-!! I think I'm just salty because of all the shit people gave her because of her edit lol (and also because, like you said, the judges often dismissed her talent - except for her two well-deserved wins, of course)
Javier Azuaje Briceño THats not Katya 😭 during that period Katya was sending Trixie death threats. You can understand it more if you watch Trixie’s documentary Moving Parts on netflix.
@@1235Timbo actually season 8 was very close too. To the point where going in Kimora wanted to play the evil bitch role all season but the other girls were so nice that she decided to play the dumb bitch role.
Depression Tears it dosent help that all three of them got drunk as hell so they’re all trying to hold it together you can see that in Jinx’s reaction too. Since then the queens aren’t allowed to over do it on the night of the crowning
@@blaiseavey4090 I don't hold any dislike towards her it's just between Season 5 and All stars 2 she just never left anything for me. I mean she is good at what she does she just isn't one of my favorites.
@@blaiseavey4090 oh please. Roxxy was a bitch. The show got her true self out in that season. I get it when you're on pressure. But it doesn't make right the behaviour. Well she got it rough after the show and i'm sure got more humble from that point. It was a wake up call for her. I also saw All Stars 2 interview Rupaul asking Roxxy how she felt after she was hated on the show due her attacks on Jinxx... and Michelle jumped in like well you were in a show and you were there to win (to talk it right, we all know she tries to throw dust into our eyes but too bad we're too clear to see through that lie) Sure she got more love now since she knew she had to change herself. Well it's what it is
@Rose Anne Boushard Well she had too. She was bood from the crowd after season 5 was aired. She got it all backfired. I wonder if she did appoligize to Jinxx because of the reaction of the public of it came from herself... guess we will never know
Violet reaction is my favorite, she gave us the runway looks every time, she was against all her cast, mainly because the edit and people getting offended by her confidence, and when she finally won, it was so awesome to see it.
Poor Raven had to stand there twice and deal with that BS. Love in season 2 though, when she tells Tyra "girl, turn to the camera" like common, be professional 😂
I just love Asia hugging Aquaria and giving her a little pep talk or something it seemed really sweet! I think if Asia wasn’t top 4 she would have been Miss congeniality for sure!
In season 1, Nina was honestly very happy and not upset at all because Bebe won; in season 2, Raven was trying to hide that she was angry that she didn't win; in season 3 Manila got upset because she didn't win, but she got happy because Raja won; same thing happened in season 5 with Alaska, she wasn't angry at Jinx because she won, she was sad because she lost; in season 6, everyone was really nice to eachother and they weren't bitter becauae they didn't win; in season 7, you can see the happiness in Ginger's face and the shocked expression on Pearl's face; in season 8, you can hear Kimchi say "i knew it", and Naomi was looking at Bob with a smile on her face; in season 9, Peppermint was really, really happy for Sasha, but Sasha was shocked and a little worried because Peppermint didn't win; in season 10, Eureka and Kameron looked a bit upset, but happy for Aquaria, Asia was genuinely happy for her
dash1dash2 probably the toughest season in the rpdr history. They had to make a lot of their outfits in the runway and had actual challenges aside from the outfits.
I had forgotten how gracious Manila was in getting runner-up. You could see her disappointment but then a smile when Raja looked over at her upon winning. I love them both!
I mean you can’t blame her for wanting it, I bet she wasn’t mad at Raja cause they were such good friends but just sad she couldn’t get the crown. She wanted the crown more than being in the top 2. I don’t blame her tbh, I’d prolly look the same
Bianca, Bob, Violet and Aquaria are my favorite reactions lmao The way Bianca immediately hugs Courtney and Adore The way Bob freaks out, then begins to cry The way Violet says "This is the weirdest thing I have ever done in my life" The way Aquaria gets teary eyed and cries as Asia holds her
@@ec9798 Umm I don't really understand your comment but from season 4 onwards (minus all stars season 1) they prerecord each reaction of the top queens winning. Then in the final edit, it only shows the true winner. So the queens don't actually know who wins until the finale episode airs.
@@ec9798 The show is all prerecorded, they film months before it airs on TV for editing reasons. So when they are prerecording the finale episode, they record every single top queens reactions to winning. For example in season 6, they had Bianca record a reaction, Adore record a reaction, and Cortney record a reaction. Then, months later after the show has been edited and airs, once they get to the finale episode, the top queens hold a reaction party (usually at a bar) and they watch the finale episode to see who will win. The editors only put one queen winning in the end, so for season 6 we only saw Bianca winning, but she only learns she won once the episode airs.
To this day I still love Gingers fake ass response to Violet winning hahaha Even Pearl thought Ginger was gonna win lol The only one that thought Violet would win is Violet hahaha
I really love Violet and Aquaria’s reactions. When I first saw season 7 I didn’t know about the taping the finale several times thing so I thought violet actually found out she won in the live finale. Though that reaction was on brand, it seemed like she just got confirmed what she already knew instead of being happy about it. Her real reaction was so cute and I loved seeing her win over Ginger tbh lol. Seeing Aquaria cry is so touching after she basically went through almost the whole season seeming extremely confident and sure she was going to win. And I loved how all four of them was so supportive of each other. They were so happy for her.
I would like to see those unused tapes of non winners fake crowning :D I am really curious what "crowning" if Phi Pho looked like for example :D Or Adore :D
Actually while Phi Phi's crowning, her crown falls than Phi Phi turna back to Rupaul like lets make a take two but RuPaul says thats ok we get what we want Willam mention this several times in Race Chaser
Kitty Reading comprehension isn’t your thing, is it. I mean like, in the corner of the screen during the finale, you see a livestream of their reaction.
That would still require the contestants to see the show before the audience. When it comes to live productions on television, there is typically a delay in case anything needs to be emergency censored etc. and that’s just for large preplanned events like New Years. I can’t imagine how difficult that would be to work out the details. Maybe it would be cool if VH1 or WoW live streamed on IGTV or RU-vid during the finale, but not on tv.
Bundy Moon Fair, fair. I thought they could show the queens the episode like, a minute or two earlier than the airing? So that the livestream has time to catch up with the reveal.
Honey how does that work though? Do they record each queen winning then air it and then they know they've won? That'd be strange to watch for the audience when it's being shot hahaha
@@juliaferrara3721 DUDE IT'S BEEN YEARS. They're friends now, go watch any recent appearance of them together. They even got along fairly well during the competition, Roxxxy just got too competitive back in the day.
Season 5: the three of them were such a mess that i died laughing All stars 1: raven WAS SO SHADY I LIVE Season 8: Love Kim but you can tell she died inside when she didnt win Season 10: Eureka WAS SURE she was gonna win
Why was Raven shady???? She simply looked really sad...why is that shady??? You know which ones were actually really shady??? Manila and Alaska. Alaska as usual because she wasnt the center of attention as she is used to being and Manila was sad yes but she looked more angry at first.
The season 5 reaction was a mess because apparently they were all drunk as hell and Alaska somehow found out she didn’t win before the reaction so that’s why she was a complete wreck
the difference between top 3 on season 5, vs top 3 on season 6 - reactions were like night and day! alaska was tasting blood and courtney & adore couldn’t have been more overjoyed! both reactions were so authentic. i also loved raven being so upset but then reminding tyra to turn to the camera 🤣
so true💜 im bawling over how happy the winners were& how gracious the runners up were @that minute (even if they were not so much later on) i truly love ALL the queens so so so much💜
Rodrigo Centeno anyone who watched it would know Trixie didnt deserve that crown. I love her and all, but nah. Atleast her season isn't as messy as AS4.
@@luxusmode111 To me all queens in the top 4 (except maybe kennedy) deserve that crown. They all have done an amazing job in all stars and outside AS Trixie has done a lot of amazing things. Im fuckin proud of her.
Farisss92 Bebe had a lot more influence and her style of drag was more appreciated back then. Bebe had 2 wins Nina had 1. Nina had never been in the bottom, Bebe was in the bottom once. So really it could have been Nina or Bebe both great entertainers and I'd be happy for either to win. Don't discredit queens
@@jakesalisbury9716 Nope, Bebe may have more wins but Nina was consistently high placed almost all episodes and was front runner from the very beginning. Even Ongina had better track record than Bebe. They don't want Nina to win because she's Puerto Rican. Drag Race, as you see in its later seasons, treat PR queens horribly.
Farisss92 that’s not a way better track record it’s better but bebe was chosen as the winner because she could represent as the first winner better being diplomatic and fluent completely in english. Nina’s drag wasn’t as appreciated st the time like how bebes was. Nina was fluent in english also. Bebe had more wins and her lip sync was memorable
Jinkx said in an interview that her feud with Roxxxy wasn't one-sided - they just cut out Jinkx' shade towards her to have a clear hero-villain constellation. In reality it was more of a less agressive Sharon vs. Phi Phi situation.
