Do i look like a Cullen yet I'm a vampire Hi Ugly! it's me B[ __ ] and welcome back to
hot or rot and today we're going to be reviewing the grand finale of rupaul's drag race all-star
season six. Our final four were challenged to write and perform an original verse in Ru's new
song old town road I mean this is our country walk the runway one last time serving all stars hall
of fame eleganza extravaganza realness and lip sync for the crown there's a lot to talk about
and honestly everyone did well so instead of doing the binary hot or rot today I'm gonna be breaking
my critiques down to a finer more granular level reading each element of the finale out of the five
hot flames and we also have some HOT tea to sip at the end of today's video we'll be discussing
Eureka's tweet that seems to be calling the rupaul's drag race fandom fatphobic and taking
a look at how both Kylie and Trinity responded to what Eureka said without any further ado
let's get all started first up Eureka you found it firstly Eureka's performance look for this is our
country is untouchable she gets an immediate 5 out of 5 hot flames for this look it is jaw-droppingly
stunning as almost all of her looks this entire season have been I think she really deserves more
credit for the garments that she brought to this competition she's giving me like final boss of
all the Marie Antoinettes that have ever touched the stage of rupaul's drag race all 37 of them but
concerning that cake Marie told the commoners to eat back in the day according to Eureka's lyrics
she ate that cake no Marie Antoinettes I ate that cake no Mary queen of Scots no Catherine
the Greats no room for social hierarchy house the homeless feed the hungry and I really love
the sentiment of what she's saying there but i don't think those lyrics are ultimately
representative of the actual country that we live in like I hate to get too grim here but in reality
the US is actually in the process of developing the largest divide between social classes that
we have ever had last year Forbes reported that the top one percent of the us population has a
net worth equal to 30.4 percent of all household wealth in the US anyways Eureka wraps up her verse
saying change the perception and forget the sample a true queen lives and leads by example Eureka
you found it I really liked her line about leading by example and ultimately this song was supposed
to be about celebrating the US and eureka did just that even if it felt a tad tone deaf to the
actual social issues that we're experiencing as a country her heart was in the right place for sure
and for that I want to go ahead and recognize her with three out of five HOT flames and on
the runway it's a bird it's a plane no it's Cher I don't need to tell you all that this
is gag-worthy amazing it's a clear reference to shares 1986 Bob Mackie gown that she wore to the
Oscars and I think this is not only a really cool reference but a beautiful homage done in Eureka's
own personal flavor she's got a headpiece the size of her entire body she's dripping in crystals
and fur and her entire outfit is purple in a nod to her late mother's favorite color overall I
think Eureka fully embodied eleganza extravaganza with this look and I want to give this 5 out of 5
flames next up a quick message from today's video sponsor

video next up the other ginger spice Ginger Minge her look in the performance tonight is very that
spicy girls visit the wild west but like on Chromatica I think some spicier hair might have
elevated this look just a tad more maybe like with some space buns or other colors woven into it but
overall a solid look from Ginger and I give this four out of five flames as for her burst she
starts it off with a great little pun my country tis the tea and beautifully belts the rest of her
lyrics motherland everyone who yearns for equality listen up freedom comes with responsibility be the
change you want to see you be you and i'll be me I think ginger did a great job of straddling the
line between truth and over promising what the US actually is and I really like what she said about
freedom coming with the cost of responsibility because she's absolutely right it comes with
the responsibility of using our voices and voting to be heard to affect change overall I was really
impressed with her vocals and I think the touch of realism she added into her lyrics was healthy
i'm gonna give this four out of five HOT flames on the runway ginger brings her
spice to the dinner table wraps herself up in the tablecloth and then hits the runway
this look is very perfectly folded napkin at a five star dinner table in the best way possible
I think this dress is phenomenal and Ginger looks great in it I love the youthfulness it brings to
her drag character like it almost feels like something Carrie Bradshaw would have worn in
Sex in the City there maybe you could have been a better shoe to go with this gown or perhaps a way
to bring a little more fabric down to the floor but overall I'm impressed I'm gonna give this
four out of five HOT flames next up Kylie Sonique Love her look in the performance is super on brand
as her looks always are she's even got her name in glitter written across the red little handkerchief
hanging across her a[__] she is serving country barbie realness and y'all know I just absolutely
gush every time I see her in a new look because she is so perfect I love this look 5 out of 5
hot flames but let's take a look at her lyrics you'll notice that she sang her verse a little
bit slower than everybody else leaving her with only four lines compared to like Raja's eight and
Eureka's seven however I think she made the most of them the very first line imma use my twang when
I need to yell feels like both a celebration of her southern roots and the self-realization that
she's heard and recognized best when she is herself and the second line if they can't lower
heaven then we gonna raise hell is it actually a version of a line from Virgil's epic the Aeneid
which maybe more directly translates from latin as if I cannot bend the will of heaven I will raise
hell I understood this to mean if i'm not going to be accepted for who I am then i'm going to make
the best of my situation no matter what and have the best time that I possibly can in this country
and she kind of echoes that sentiment with her final words in the verse I stand real proud and
so should you let's stand together in a red white and blue honestly when I first watched the episode
I didn't think too much of her verse I kind of just heard it and was like oh that was nice
but when I spent some time actually looking at her lyrics I realized the songwriting was really
good I think she had the clearest most concise and effective message overall her verse in performance
is going to get a 5 out of 5 hot flames from me and on the runway my Kylie tis of thee
here's the thing Kylie looks great she always does I don't think that's necessarily up for debate
here but I won't lie and say that i didn't want this runway to give me just a little bit more for
the category of hall of fame all-stars eleganza extravaganza i think this look would have been
perfect had the pieces of American flag fabric dangling from the bodice around her waist gone
all the way to the floor maybe leaving like one leg exposed and the message that she wanted to
impart on us with this look she gave us in the voiceover was that she wanted to wear a look where
she wrapped herself in the American flag to remind us that trans people are here and they're American
too b[___] I think on another category or if this were used in another performance this would be a
5 star look or maybe 50 star look but given this specific category i'm going to only give it three
hot flames tonight next up oh my god it's Rajah so her performance look is honestly not my favorite
it feels a tad disjointed she's got this like gingham print crop top and panties which I do love
on their own but then she's got on purply sparkly boots and red white and blue feathers around her
neck to complete the look which just feels a tad disjointed to me like it just kind of feels like
she put three different outfit pieces together to create one overall i'm gonna leave this with
two out of five hot flames her lyrics though told a beautiful story like Eureka she wrapped
her verse and managed to fit eight lines into her time during the song the first part of her
verse is all about using her voice as a mechanism for affecting social change she says like a queen
on the scene imma use my voice gotta stand with my people don't have a choice can't breathe
don't shoot running through my brain nothing good on the news this world's insane which I loved
this was a rupaul song I think clearly meant to just un-ironically celebrate the US and
everything about it and I think Rajah made a bold choice to acknowledge a huge issue that the US has
been dealing with which is police brutality disproportionately affecting black Americans
and yeah while these lyrics are dark I think it's important to talk about these things openly and
when you have a chance use your voice like she did to discuss them on a platform as big as this
her verse ends with praying that we can just come together stand in love and really shine together
red to the u and s and add the a our color stands true in the USA so Rajah like the rest of the
final four ended her verse on a really happy note about coming together and you know being American
but I will say that second part does feel a tad disjointed to the first if the first part was
like a raw poetry telling the second felt closer to like a family member that just writes sending
thoughts and prayers on like sad facebook posts and i'm not saying that I have the answers to
all the world's problems by any means either i'm just saying it would have liked a little
more rawness in that second half to match the first overall i'm gonna give Rajah four out of
five flames on her burst in performance and now for my favorite Rajah category tonight the runway
Ross said it best I think this look is the perfect bookend to all of Raja's success on all-star six
she started out in that purple dress that she made and walked the finale eleganza extravaganza runway
in a gorgeous gown that she made and no less her signature color purple although her favorite color
is magenta this whole season has felt kind of effortless for her like she has done so well every
episode and outshine the competition at every turn I really love what she said in her speech
to Ru about going into season 11 being a rock and entering the finale of all-star six as a resilient
diamond i've got to give this runway five out of five flames and I have to give Rajah props for
making all of her runway looks this season proving that you don't need a 20 30 or 40 thousand dollar
budget to make it far in the competition now let's break down that lip sync each queen lip-synched by
themselves to lady gaga's Stupid Love and I kind of have mixed feelings about these new
independent lip syncs on one hand i'm happy that they don't have three or four queens all fighting
for space on the same stage at the same time but on the other hand i'm like oh my god the cameras
are cutting to four different queens and I have no idea what's going on from what we saw I can
say that everyone at least looked fabulous and had a great performance and my highlights from
this lip sync were Kylie and Rajah's outfits and of course Kylie's slip into a somersault
proving that she is the queen of queens when it comes to gymnastics on the rupaul's drag
race runway i'm gonna give Kylie and Rajah each five out of five hot flames for their lip sync
and Ginger and Eureka each four out of five think they did well and looked great don't get me wrong
but their performances were a little less dynamic than Rajah and Kylie's neither of them had any
sort of reveal and they kind of used the same like comedic mechanisms throughout the entire
song the whole time so our lip sync ends and Ru announces that the winner is drumroll please....
Kylie Sonique Love
Kylie takes her crown and scepter and officially becomes the first trans winner of the US seasons
technically being the second trans winner of the entire franchise with Angele Anang being the first
from drag race Thailand season 2. the day of her crowning on instagram she wrote this being
trans is more than just being beautiful trans is everything we are all everything we are the energy
we put into the universe giving you all my love and what do I have to say about her winning i mean
y'all know i've been team Kylie this whole season i'm elated over the moon I think not only does she
deserve this win but she will be an excellent representative for the franchise the realty is
that when watching her crowning I was ugly crying like I don't think i've ever been this happy for a
queen to win it just felt like the perfect ending to a beautiful season of all stars we got to learn
so much about so many queens and Kylie winning just really felt like the perfect cherry on top of
this cake we got to see beautiful redemption story lines for queens like Silky and Eureka who I think
got a lot of negative press in their original seasons Ginger got to redeem her all-stars 2 run
Rajah proved that she is so much more than her inner saboteur and proved to the world that she
is one of the most talented fiercest queens alive and Kylie got to live her truth and get
that crown in her truth just beautiful honestly of course my full reaction to this episode is

the description of my video to join today see you there now let's discuss the Eureka situation last
Friday the day after the episode aired where she entered the final four she tweeted this
y'all are fat phobic af i'd respect you a lot more if you just say I don't like fat people
lol to which Kylie responded they're lost honey you are one of the sweetest smartest beautiful
most loving humans i've ever had the pleasure of getting to know I love you all of you @EurekaOhara
and then Trinity K Bonet posted this message on her instagram let me tell y'all h[__] something
it's my bae at @eureka birthday all that getting on her page and reading over a punk ass tv show
was childish and y'all way too invested my bae is not a size 10 okay if I was in pain doing
these challenges and my legs killing me I could only imagine what she was going through and never
complained so i'm asking nice for now leave her the f alone I love y'all for free happy birthday
bae which was beautiful I think to see Kylie and Trinity stepping in to comfort their sister on the
season that said who was Eureka's tweet directed at we can't know for sure we can speculate that
it's at the fandom in general possibly referring to people that maybe were commenting negative
things in her profile after she sent Trinity home and possibly also addressing her lack of fan votes
on instagram and twitter and firstly I just want to say it's never okay to go on a queen's profile
and say mean things just don't do it instead I would suggest using that energy you have in
a positive way and going to someone else's page and saying something nice secondly let's take a
look at those fan votes I think the final outcome of those was interesting because looking at track
record alone this was a really close final four and we would expect similar levels of voting for
each queen not equal but similar but this was not the case i mean just on twitter at the time of
filming this Rajah has 14,000 retweets and Kylie about 11,600 but Ginger only has 2700 and eureka
1500 which I would say is a pretty big gap between those two pairs of queens and I think
it's no coincidence that the two queens the least amount of votes are our plus size queens I also
want to point out that this trend is not new so my question to you is why do you think the fandom
lacks support for larger queens and how can we fix this and do better as a community of people that
love drag race and drag queens let me know what you think down in the comments below and finally
let's take a look at our hottest hots of the finale episode my hottest person performance and
this is our country goes to Kylie Sonique Love my patrons voted for Rajah O'hara my hottest runway
goes to Eureka my patrons voted for Raja O'hara and my hottest lip sync for the crown goes to
