I guess there are some people on twitter complaining that Raja won because Adam told Ru Paul to let her win.   Well, fuck 'em. |

Got so involved watching RPDR I forgot the eggs boiling on the stove.... Until they exploded. Scared the daylight out of me and my son... The smoke detector went off. The pot had to be thrown out. Now I have to explain to my husband why the house smells like burnt sulfur. "But sweetie, Raja won!" Would make total sense to me..LOL |

I know nothing about drag queens, but, to me, Raja was a step above everyone else. She was stunning, and her make up looked more high fashion than camp. More genuine as a model than as a caricature. Her fashion sense was incredible, and again, genuine fashion rather than an exaggeration of what female fashion is. She also showed more different looks, different styles, more edgy, more avantgarde. And what a sick sense of visual humor at times. I could really see the artistry in what she was doing.
Of course, not knowing what a drag queen was supposed to look or act like, I didn't know if what she was doing was outside the box in a good way or not. Didn't know if big hair, big boobies, 2 inch long fake lashes, and yards and yards of frilly, poofy fabric conplete with train was the look that was desired. So glad she was recognized for what she created.
I am so curious what Adam may have advised Sutan about how to manage a reality show. Did Adam's being brave in being alternative and surprising and awesome on AI inspire Sutan to go for it? Did he get ideas and tips just from watching Adam on stage every night? Oh, well. We'll never know.

We'll never know. I agree. And I knew she would win when I heard RuPaul describe her as "intellectual" in her approach. I could see Ru was excited about Raja, more than any other contestant. Raja brings truth to drag. |

Very happy for Raja.
I remembered with about 10 minutes left to go but was just in time to see her win.
I feel weird to say it but I had a slight nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach when they were about to announce the winner. A fraction of what I felt at the AI S8 finale but there nonetheless.
Now, we gotta see what Sasha does this summer. These folks are so talented.
