I liked it. It was kind of a low key, cozy finale. I loved that all the queens were present the entire time. It was a nice reunion. The winner was predictable and correct at least imo. So happy for the fame game winner too. That one was a toss-up.

I agree completely. I loved seeing the eliminated queens come back for a final performance and get some screen time. I loved the pink furry box concept and seeing the queens win money. I was rooting for Jessica but LaLa is equally deserving.
The return of the furry pink box was fun!
Was it? I'm a few episodes behind, but maybe I'll catch up tonight. Overall, it felt like one of the most egregiously overproduced seasons I can remember, so it was hard to stay interested.
I'm happy that Jimbo won. I felt like this season really was Jimbo's to lose, which always means the show is less exciting to watch.
It did feel like Jimbo was always way ahead of the other queens and everyone else was vying for second place.
I think Jimbo is just a powerhouse though. I think she was carried in challenges where she doesn't excel, such as some of the dancing challenges.
I felt like Lala Ri wasn't getting as much hype throughout the season, re: fame games.. so her winning was a bit of a surprise. I thought Jaymes with her social media following or Jessica with her Latino fans would take the fame games.
The talent show bonus points just felt a bit rigged and produced.
