@@steeveeneeta1627Sapphira was expected to be able to show a lot of heart, and she did! However, that was Nymphia’s redeeming win, it put her back in the competition for the crown and we finally got to understand how her mind works a bit.
I thought Sapphira steamrolled everyone in the interview. I think Nymphia got it for storyline and because they wanted to even out the track records, not that she wasn't good in the challenge.
Morphine was the obvious winner in the lipsync against Megami. Saying that the win should go to Megami because episode was devoted her redemption contradict you not giving Nymphia the win in the advertising challenge... Besides placing 2nd is still a redemption, it worked for Silky.
Except not? I thought "the only reason they'll give it to Morphine is because this is made to give the 4th place something, but Q is not a good lipsyncer so it goes to Morphine by default". Morphine barely won the first 2 lipsyncs, and she definitely didn't win the one against Megami. And I don't even like Megami.
Overall, the season was pretty fair. Not rigged as much as other seasons. I do 100% think Nymphia and Sapphira should’ve both been crowned and I’m confident the majority of people would agree as well. A shame really.
Also wanted to add here and call out here that part of Nymphia’s reference for “yellow” was a reclaiming of the use of yellow as a derogatory term used for East Asian folks. So there is a lot of layers to how that is a political statement, even if the lyrics overall weren’t her best.
@@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudgedIf Xunami is such a performer outside the show why did she underperform on the show? Was she not giving her 100%? And look at the content of the show not outside. Mhi'ya is THEE lipsyncer both on AND off the show.
I keep hearing the thing about Nymphia dropping words in the rusical, but the only instance I saw (and I've watched it a couple times) was when she messed up the word "narrative", and even then she did well with the facial acting and the choreo for that part, so I thought she was pretty good.
I wouldn't say one note, but they are very similar, and I think that hurts her compared to other finalists since she lip synced 4 times compared to Nymphia (1) and Plane (2)
Girl , delusion 🤭 Giving Sapphira Nymphia's book branding is ridiculous and Nymphia ate Sapphira up in the finale, she wasnt even close to beating miss Nymphia
If it was “made ya look”, like in the original episode 10, I could see Xunami sending Mhi’ya home if she’s being camp, but “Dim all the lights” ?! Mhi’ya would absolutely steamroll her.

Six round: Megami vs Amanda: Megami wins Seven round: Mirage vs Morphine : Double shantay Eight round: Megami vs Mirage: Megami wins ( I know it's crazy to say that Megami wins agaisnt Mirage but base on the strategy of Megami i guess she might won in this scenario) Mhi'ya vs Morphine: Morphine wins Top 2: Morphine vs Megami: Morphine wins Ep 16: Finale 3rd: Plane Jane( 6.5 ppe) 2nd: Sapphira cristal ( 7.2 ppe) 1st: Nymphia wind ( 7.4 ppe)
I don't think even your hypothetical should be based on seeing how someone performs outside of the show because it's not part of judging what we see on the show. It should only be based on what we saw...kind like how it's done on the show.
If there ever was to be a double crowning, this would've been the time to do it in a regular season just based on how much Sapphira ate these girls up all season long and then her first round lip sync was worthy of a crowning moment all on its own
Kinda iconic to have two miss congeniality winners and two actual winners this season Sapphira will be the first winner that also got the miss congeniality title
i see so many negative comments on it, but genuinely i love these videos, its refreshing to hear someone elses full take on a season, again reminder to everyone hate commenting this is THEIR opinion, its what if THEY judged the season, feel free to make your own videos explaining your take
People are allowed to share their opinion on someone else's opinion. If you want people to only agree with the video, then, well, that would just be an echo chamber
@@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged no hate intended 😊 I just don’t see the point in changing the first 3 episodes seeing as they were part of the twist. Secondly, Megami beating Morphine for it being “her” episode when Morphine cleared in most people’s eyes. Thirdly Dawn being bottom two in Snatch Game just because she was given a “safe” edit. Also Plasma was winning the lip sync against xunami and miyah until that “reveal”. Lastly having plane over Nymphia in the political challenge but I accept that’s just my opinion and Ru/production. No hate intended but it was just choices from my eyes 😂
I've never been so torn when casting my fan vote. In fact, I think I went and voted for all three, canceling out my own vote! Definitely agree with your alternative ending here. What a terrific and joyful season!
for the smackdown, i think it would be more fair if they had whoever skipped the 2nd round pick their opponent because it seems a little ridiculous if Plasma or Mhi'ya lipsynced once and then were immediately put in the final lip-sync. they probably would both pick Megami and we would get the same result.
Great video. Even if there are things I disagree with, I love seeing someone else’s perspective. One thing, I think Symone was the first queen to have the first 2 challenge wins. She won her girl group and the acting challenge.
Nymphia destroyed Sapphira in the lipsync, I am sorry. At some point it is really clear Sapphira is completely lost (probably the stress) and starts going around her dress on the floor doing nothing
Q staying over Amanda is no controversy. If you watched the Roscoes episode, all of the girls on the S16 Cast said, that Q won the lip sync by a mile. I actually believe they edited out Q's best parts, to make Amanda leaving on a high note, with everyone thinking she won. I think Q really did great in this Lip Sync.
Mind you, sapphira won the improv challenge because her group actually completed the prompt, in the same way that Q won the design challenge because she was the only one who wore neo-goth.
Sooo Nymphia should win the makeover challenge solely because she had the cutest look of the night? Despite there being many aspects of the challenge? 😂
girl… dawn in the bottom for snatch game? I mean, I love morphine, but at least dawn got ONE joke in. Morphine just sat there and made some bad jokes. Plus, dawn had a better runway.
I just feel like more should matter than the final lip sync. It should be a massive factor, but at bare minimum the finale performances should count IMO
@@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged That may be true, but Sapphira’s finale performance was t that good either. Like she’s not really a good performer with choreo. Her one weakness. The best part of her performance wasn’t the opening with the opera, and some of the moves her dancers were doing. Like it wasn’t awful or anything like that I’m just over people overhyping her. Like this outcome 100% made sense based on her actual performance ability. Two of her lipsyncs this season she won because the other Queen was either horrible, or in the case of Morphine, had no wins.
In your win tally at 18:20, Nymphia should have had 3 wins, not 2. Talent, Ball, Girl Group. Also question: How is Nymphia’s score lower than Plane when in this scenario, she has 4 wins 0 bottoms but Plane has 3 wins 1 bottom? Hell, she should have a higher score than Sapphira since she has 1 bottom.
I agree that the final lip sync was a lot closer than the majority make it out to be. I also agree that both queens deserved the crown. Had the grand prize been less I think this may well have happened
Stop deluding, based solely on the finale lipsync, nymphia won, sapphira was in her head and was panicking. And gige the adv Chalke to nymphia making her the winner
Based solely on the final lip sync, Nymphia won. The entire season shouldn’t be based on that lip sync though. Even if track records don’t matter, the solo performances should 100% count for something
Here's what i think for now without having rewatched or re-analysed everything to the little details and minimal explanations cause its already gonna be a wall of text lol: Note: Immunity is removed cause i dont like it lol, rate-a-queen as well for the (imo) fair results. Ep 1 Talent Top 2: Q & Sapphira (win) High: Mirage & Dawn Low: Amanda & Xunami Ep 2 Talent Top 2: Geneva & Nymphia (win) High: Hershii & Plasma Low: Megami & Plane Ep 3 Ball Win: Nymphia High: Q, Sapphira & Xunami Low: (Plane or Amanda) & Plasma Btm 2: Geneva & Hershii (elim) Ep 4 Rdr Live Win: Plasma High: (Nymphia or Sapphira), Plane & Q Low: Dawn & Morphine Btm 2: Geneva & Mirage (elim) Ep 5 Girl groups Win: Geneva, Megami, Mhi'ya & Nymphia Btm 2: Amanda & Q (For me, only the lip-sync should count, so Q goes home) Ep 6 Doll design Win: (Dawn/Megami) High: (Dawn/Megami) & Plane Low: (Amanda/Mhi'ya) Btm 2: (Amanda/Mhi'ya) & Geneva (elim) Ep 7 Rusical Win: Sapphira High: Megami (with Q's role) & Plasma Low: Nymphia Btm 2: Amanda (with Megami's role, elim) & Mhi'ya Ep 8 Snatch game Win: Sapphira High: Megami & Plane Low: Dawn Btm 2: Nymphia & Xunami (elim) Ep 9 Goth design Win: Nymphia High: Dawn, Megami & Morphine Btm 2: Mhi'ya & Plasma (elim) Ep 10 Rumix Top 2: Morphine & Sapphira (both win) High: Megami, Mhi'ya & Nymphia (Megami helps her lol) Ep 11 Stand up Win: Megami & Plane High: Nymphia & Sapphira Low: Morphine Btm 2: Dawn (elim) & Mhi'ya Ep 12 Bathrooms Win: Plane & Sapphira Low: Megami & Nymphia Btm 2: Mhi'ya (elim) & Morphine Ep 13 Makeover Win: Nymphia High: Plane Low: Morphine Btm 2: Megami (elim) & Sapphira Ep 14 Books Win: Nymphia & Sapphira Btm 2: Morphine & Plane (both stay or Morphine goes) Ep 15 Morphine wins (if she sashayed away) Megami wins (if Morphine stayed) Ep 16 Winner: Nymphia & Sapphira Yes both Sapphira & Nymphia have 6 wins lol, but looking at the performances, i think it just makes sense 🤷🏻♀️ More of a reason of why they both should have won ❗️
Wait what was that about the super freaky girl lip sync?? Was that supposed to be the lip sync song and production changed it last minute to the Tina turner song?
Lol I'm sorry for commenting again but is this a Xunami Muse stan account lol? Because we saw her lipsync twice + her talent show and mama Xunami is not a performance queen so her beating Mhi'ya in a lip sync is a wild wild take
I almost completely agree with how you judged the season! I agree that Q staying over Amanda was fair (Amanda won but the lip sync was close enough for Q to stay), Sapphira was amazing in the final lip sync, and a double crowning was deserved. Not shocked at people disagreeing in the comments but idk, I think this was judged really well
THIS FEELS CORRECT! I'll fully admit to being a Sapphira stan before Episode 1 even aired, but I do think that what I perceived as the producers pushing Nymphia through a couple of rougher weeks was very much tempered by how well she did in her finale lipsync and runway. I 1000% am glad to see someone else agree with me that Plane should've been in the top for the Rusical (Q's comedic timing definitely improved by the time we got to the Improv challenge but her earlier attempts didn't resonate with me), that Sapphira should have won the Advertising challenge, and that Dawn should have been in the bottom/eliminated in Snatch Game; in Untucked the girls all speak up about how they were surprised she was just safe, and in an episode that also had Nymphia's Jane Goodall, that speaks volumes to me. I'm deeply curious about the world where Nymphia's runway look (or in this case, immunity potion) doesn't keep her from the bottom for Snatch Game and/or the Anthem challenge, because there's the possibility her LSFTC wouldn't go over quite as well if we'd seen her lipsync style ahead of time in the way we saw Sapphira's multiple times before. I also would definitely argue for Nymphia winning the Goth challenge even with the lighting washing out the details of her dress, though, just because Q's styling really worked against the impact of her look. Imagine if she ditched that fishnet top and let the neckline sit low, and if she picked a tall, Sasha-Velour-at-S9-Reunion-style mohawk to go with it--the proportions would have SUNG, and design challenges have arguably even more to do with styling than construction. But yes, nothing but love for my TWO winners of Season 16!
for me sapphira - talent show, bathroom (solo), funk performance plane - talent show, snatch game, the slides performance (solo), makeover nymphia - ball, goth design, book cover plasma - acting, rusical Q - doll design Mhi'ya - girl group (I hate team wins so I'd give her the win here)
@@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged mostly absence of rate-a-queen, some win distributions and the double crowning but thats all subjective. love ur videos btw and ty for not calling the power rumix a girl group challenge anymore but ep11 was stand-up not improv 💛💛 cant wait for ur next vid
The thing I doubt we will ever get a double crowning again just bc of how much money they would need to give out. Cause ig someone said who counted how much money was given out during the season was around 450-500k. Had it been a double crowning another 200k would’ve had to been sent out as well which would’ve meant 650-700k would’ve been sent out and I just don’t think that would happen. It was different for Monet and Trinity since the prize at that time was 100k. Who knows maybe it could happen again but financially I don’t see it happening.
My only disagreement is that morphine should still win the lalaparuza. I disagree with the as7 comparison because morphine deserved it like raja and won the lip sync like Yvie.

Great video, I agree with almost everything and I respect and liked your opinions. Ignore all the mad opinions, you're doing a great job on this channel.
@@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged she probably wanted to give blue vampire. i personally think her wig reveal was her downfall, she couldnt move with it on or itd fall off, but she wasnt able to give much because of the thing. if she just didnt have it, she could've definitely tied with nymphia
Literally what makes you think something as small as vampire teeth would have changed Sapphira's placing? That narrative is as much of a stretch as comparing Nymphia's reveal to Sasha's.
@@annalouise7933 It was never meant to be a big reveal to gawk at and such a minor detail like that would never prevent someone from winning Drag Race. That's like saying, "if Dawn never wore Elf ears, she would have made the Top 3." Like no, details that benign and minute have never been why a Queen makes it farther than the other
If I’m judging drag race, then I can change the lip sync song for each episode. I would get a park and bark for the goth episode to save Plasma. And I’m not sure a double win would work but Sapphira and Nymphia were very close it’s true.
While Plasma’s sewn look for the ball wasn’t great, it was way better than Plane Jane’s. The low placement realistically should have been between Mhi’ya, Amanda, or Plane Jane. I personally disliked Plane Jane’s third look the most (like what was it?) and even though Mhi’ya and Amanda had misses, their third looks made sense. So, I’d have given Plane the low on the ball. Nymphia using her potion on Snatch Game being how Dawn goes home is… a stretch. Yes, Dawn was bad, and she would have been the low placement, but she wasn’t bottom two worthy over Morphine or Xunami.
How I would have judged: 1/2: Win - Sapphira/Nymphia; TOP 2 - Plane/Q; High - Dawn&Mirage/Geneva&Plasma 3: Win - Nymphia; High - Q&Sapphira; Low - Plasma; BTM2 - Geneva; ELIM - Hershii 4: Win - Plasma; High - Nymphia&Sapphira; Low - Morphine; BTM2 - Xunami; ELIM - Geneva (I'm sorry, the cold open was by far the worst) 5: Win - Thicc and Stick (Mirage replaces Geneva and I think it still works the same); Low - Xunami; BTM2 - Q; ELIM - Amanda (agree with vid) 6: Win - Q; High - Dawn&Plane; Low - Plasma; BTM2 - Mhi'ya; ELIM - Mirage * Sapphira uses Immunity * 7: Win - Plasma; High - Plane&Sapphira; Low - Morphine; BTM2 - Mhi'ya; ELIM - Megami 8: Win - Plane; High - Mhi'ya&Sapphira; Low - Dawn; BTM2 - Morphine; ELIM - Xunami * Nymphia uses Immunity * (I cringed less at Dawn's idk) 9: Win - Q; High - Nymphia, Dawn, Sapphira; BTM2 - Mhi'ya; ELIM - Plasma 10: Win - Sapphira; TOP 2 - Morphine; High - Mhi'ya 11: Win - Q; High - Plane&Nymphia; Low - Sapphira; BTM2 - Morphine; ELIM - Mhi'ya (Sue me, Sapphira kinda steamrolled and didn't even do that good of a job at it, no tea no shade. Dawn at least tried to give Mhi'ya time to shine, even if the chemistry wasn't there.) 12: Win - Plane&Sapphira; Low - Q&Nymphia; BTM 2 - Morphine; ELIM - Dawn 13: Win - Plane; High - Q&Nymphia; BTM2 - Sapphira; ELIM - Morphine (Same argument as Q vs. Amanda applies here IMO) 14: Win - Nymphia; High - Sapphira; BTM2 - Plane; ELIM - Q 15: Plays out as originally, except Plasma wins her first lipsync 16: NYMPHIA WINNED!! Top PPEs: Nymphia - 3.846 Sapphira - 3.692 Plane - 3.654 Q - 3.346
