I absolutely LOVE the fact that Rosé won, the judges have been sleeping on her since day one! In my opinion she should win the season, I'm #teamrose.
The lip sync between Kandy and Symone was kinda ok, not good but not bad. Definitely not worth a double shantay! Obviously Ru has her favorites and will manipulate the season's eliminations so that they win or place high in the competition (cof cof, Silky).
This season's favoritism is so disastrous! Basically the favorites are: Kandy, Tina "mcdonald" Burner, Gottmik, Symone and Olivia Lux.
RuPaul is not giving the other queens a chance to shine (except on this week's episode, which is why I rated it a 6). These queens are waaaaay better than the favorite group: Rosé, Denali, Utica and Elliott.

This season is so annoying
reviewer20033020 February 2021
What I don't understand is why does production need to constantly meddle in natural result of things? Hey, maybe it truly is Ru herself who's making the decisions but all these mindgames being played on the queens this season is kinda sick. And for what? An Emmy?
The stupid thing is that this cast actually has incredible chemistry and talent, yet every result feels forced (and it doesn't need to)! Notice how everyone giving a bad review normally does so because of the last 3 minutes, not the whole ep? The Anne Hathaway part and banter between queens is great and no one hates that stuff.
You'd get the Emmy anyway if you just let things play out naturally. Cuz guess what, you did that on s12 Best Friend's Race and still got the Emmy!

It's hard for a Rusical to compete with season 12's Madonna Rusical, but this was Kardashian Rusical levels of bad.
A double save this early in the competition? When contestants didn't start going home 'till episode 4?
The favoritism is honestly too much. Wish production/Ru would step back and let the talent these queens have actually shine.
This season just continues to underwhelm.

I think the episode in general was great, I really liked the performance of the queens in this one. Yes, it wasn't the best Rusical, but it didn't matter for me. The only moment I'm not buying is the double shantay, but it is what it is
Confusing and Bad

Season 13 is already an iffy season for me. As much as I love this show, this episode was just bad, the musical was boring, confusing, and felt really long. I'm glad Rosé won but Kandy not being eliminated really ruins it. It really felt disrespectful to other queens that actually deserved a second chance.
Strong Rusical, Meh Twist

I enjoyed the Rusical, it had some funny moments, some strong singing and performances, and overall is far from the crigiest thing this show has done over its tenure. They also supplied some good drama beforehand, and kept it a bit unpredictable with who would succeed and who would fumble.
Rosé finally getting a win and Denali back in the top was great to see, and well as Gotmik stepping up and delivering a great performance. I wasn't a fan of the double save though - this season is dragging a bit and there's no reason to not eliminate at this point.
That said, the whiny people doling out 1 star reviews just because they don't like who was saved etc is childish. This episode doesn't even approach being that bad whatsoever. Its petty and makes the whole rating system basically worthless. This isn't stan twitter.

The whole point of the show is that even if one of the best queen's mess up and screw up the lip sync, they go home. That's the way it has always been. Just look at Valentina. But instead they break their own rules because production needs Kandy to be in the top 4 so even after she losses the lip sync she still stays? I never thought I'd be done with the show but after how bad this season is, I'm not going to be watching anymore. Stan Bimini
Why are you gagging so much?
stumpe-120 February 2021
PLease stop this 1 or 2 ratings!!! Whats up with you all? Yes the decision in the End was not smart, but the Rest was great. Not as great as the Madonna Rusical, but thats kinda hard. the Placements were alle correct this time and some really shines here or finally get the recognition which their deserves.
I gave this episode a great 8, but need to give it a 10 to balanced it out a little bit. 6,6 is not fair. All Stars is way more rigged than this.

The rusical had no clear message and terrible writing/ structure. I had to pause the rusical many times due to it being unbearable to watch. The double shantay was also extremely unnecessary, especially with the amount of girls left. However, I was very content with the winner and other tops.
Disappointing
pflinaresc9 May 2021
This entire season feels off and unfair. Queens who deliver are simply overlooked and other queens who just "make good television" get countless free passes. I love this show but this is really disappointing and sends such a wrong message into society about the value of effort, professionalism and respect.
The Rusicals are the worst
Itwassoannoying21 February 2022
I hate the Rusicals so much, they made like 2 good ones in the earlier seasons and now they're just desperately trying to catch that lightning in a bottle again and it's never gonna happen. But this was by far the worst one ever, just a terrible concept to begin with. Can we stop trying to use social media as a tool as a desperate attempt to relate to the youth? It never works, especially when it's coming from the perspective of a bunch of out of touch boomers, that's you Randy and Fenton.
great contestants, horrible season

This season just isn't good. Predictable winner, hardly any chemistry between the girls, some just aren't that likable at all, just a weird season. The only good part about this season (besides symone) is rose (being the only level headed person there) and yet she still gets zip from the judges. I know this season was a couple years ago, but coming off of the success of season 12, boy this season was terrible. As it usually goes with bad seasons of drag race, the only enjoyable part of this season is the girls but half of them don't talk to each other, and the half that do are all so annoying about it . Love symone, love rosé, love olivia, and love denali, but the rest of this season is just... no.
