RuPaul's Drag Race Finale Showdown Is Still Happening...Virtually
Here are all the details about the upcoming Season 12 reunion and finale specials from isolation.
With the conclusion of RuPaul's Drag Race fast approaching, many fans have been wondering just how the reality competition show would conduct its usual glitzy finale showdown while we're all in quarantine. Luckily, technology is here to save the day! VH1 has finally revealed the details of the final Season 12 episodes.
On tonight's episode, the Top 5 get cut down to the Top 4. Next Friday, the reunion will air. In a statement, VH1 says all the queens (minus disqualified contestant Sherry Pie) are throwing a virtual slumber party hosted by RuPaul! The kiki will dive into all the drama of this season, life in quarantine, fan questions, and spill the tea on shady moments and shocking eliminations.
The finale is still set for Friday, May 29. VH1's statement reveals it "was shot with RuPaul and the cast virtually, using innovative technology that highlights the creativity of the queens." The top queens will compete in a "revolutionary lip-sync battle for the crown."
How this is going to work, we have no idea...
Season 11 winner Yvie Oddly will help crown the season 12 winner, Nina West will pass on the Miss Congeniality crown, and they finale promises special celebrity appearances as well. It seems that one of their sponsors, Pantene, also has a surprise in store for all the queens.
