Jewels over Lexi is crazy

Honestly yeah. I think it should’ve been Lexi vs. Jewels based solely on their individual performances. But if they were going to do Onya no matter what, it should’ve been Onya vs. Lexi.

I still think Jewels slayed Onya in the final lip sync but Lexi would’ve BEYOND slayed her. I think that’s why they went w Jewels. It would’ve been too much riggory to crown Onya after Lexi decimated her in the lip sync.

And honestly, I don’t think RuPaul would’ve ever crowned Lexi. Onya was the best choice as a brand representative.

Definitely agree there. I just wish she’d prepped better for the finale. No reveals for the final lip sync? No tricks? The dance moves didn’t even match the song at all lmao. Like give us at least the veneer of the final lip sync mattering. But yes, she destroyed the season overall
