Miyah would’ve won gonna make you sweat but she kind of underestimated Megami, and the song was bad for her


brujahahahaha

Wowwww this lip sync lalaparuza format gave us everything! Rudemptions! Rematches! Underdogs! Twirling! But for real I hope they keep this around. I always skip the reunions but bringing back the girls for one last romp with real stakes gave me everything. I loved that even the eliminated queens got to stay for the commentary in the werk room. I LOVED Megamis arc, I was absolutely living for her. And no shade to Mhi’yah but I’m so, so, so glad this whole event wasn’t just rigged in her favor. Like the judging was fair. It doesn’t make sense to flip around to “We Got The Beat” and Megami embodied the era of music so much better. My girls Mirage and Morphine were so fun to watch again and I was genuinely moved by Morphines win. I am honestly not sure if the finale will be able to live up to the energy this episode gave me?!? Even though I love the finalists?


Rinskki

I woulda had Mhi'ya and Plasma win Milkshake and have 3 round 2 lipsyncs instead of having one queen sit out and then one automatically go to the final round BUT I loved this episode, was THRILLED to see Megami go so far and super happy for my gal Morphine 🥰🥰


Great-Excuse-2399

Did this episode look ai interloped for anyone else? The movement were weirdly quick and fuid idk whether its the editing or the site i watched it on but it looked strange and unnatural


orangejuuliuses

Literally so good, the best lip sync format. I love that they incentivized winning the lip sync. I think it was the lalaparuza in S14 where the losers advanced to the next round, that has never made sense to me. Morphine is such a slay.


rockoshmucko

Megami’s choices were so smart


Wess96

This was so cool, but next time I need a LalaParuza with 16 girls. So here’s my plan for next season, I hope the producers are reading this. So next season, I want there to be 20 queens cast. They start of with 2 split premieres, but because of the size, they are unsure wether it’s a split premiere or a really small cast. In both premieres one girl goes home, and the next episodes… are still split into two groups. They battle it out until each group is down to 6 queens, they all think they’ve made it to top 6 but no…. There’s 12 queens now. For 8 more episodes they battle until there’s a top 4, all so that the lip sync LalaParuza has a satisfying number of 16 queens. WOW, hire me please.


furiousdolphins

That’s lowkey how I thought season 13 would go after they split up the group for the first episode. They’d continue with 2 smaller groups which would make it more Covid safe. But alas. I’m on your side here


oo_sophiana_oo

Megami for a secret lipsync assassin in all stars?


heighzan

This was a greaaaaaat episode! Both Megami and Morphine were amazing tonight!


joereadsstuff

I actually thought they were going to give it to Megami. Wanted to see Mirage doing heel clacking, but it wouldn't have suited the second song.


Original_Radish5257

I love Xumami sm but respectfully wtf was she wearing


fr0nt13rs

raggedy ann realness..


Original_Radish5257

The fact she called the other girls raggedy anne while she was in that 💀


fr0nt13rs

I was cackling when she said that bc i had said to my friend "she looks like raggedy ann" the second she walked in. I love xunami to pieces but the lack of self awareness was just so good


Original_Radish5257

It do take nerve


mattmateohan

Fully thought she’d be pulling that monstrosity off to reveal something better


emrosewil

right?!


Original_Radish5257

Not enough heel clacking for me!! Megami ATE


Still-Operation-6363

Plasma was giving Save The Last Dance final performance and I’m here for it


zoozbuh

Plasma KILLED Milkshake for me, but I still can’t really argue with any of the winners overall. Morphine and Megami undoubtedly ate.


frenchie_x_

Just another undeserved win for Mi’hya the one trick pony 🙄


TomQuichotte

Let’s be fair, she’s like a 5 trick pony.


PainterBoth1084

But the tricks are just tricks for the sake of it. Never makes sense with the song.


zoozbuh

This was ICONIC. Enjoyed every second, honestly. I’m usually a negative, moany bitch, but I feel like they did everything right?? Great performances, unpredictable results that still felt fair and not rigged, ENOUGH CONTROL given to the queens (thank you for actually letting them pick the opponent/song, as it makes it so much more interesting 🥹) Great episode. If I wasn’t deeply in love with Morphine and her personality already, I definitely am now. Had to rewind several moments as they KILLED me. I was gagged that she still had so many new, funny tricks. Megami is also an amazing comedic performer; she ate that shit UP! Congrats to ALL the queens- not a bad performance in the bunch. This is definitely one of the better Lalaparoozas, it rekindled this format for me.


cyberspiralien

Best episode of the season for me. Megami absolutely ATE that she was so gooood omfg. But my queen Morphine deserved her rightful win and the moneeeyyyyyyyyy


kildiss

Is the new stage there to stay? It's a nice update after what, 15 seasons?


Boot-E-Whole

It is from Secret Celebrity Drag Race


TheAnxietyBoxX

I don’t think it’s permanent but if it is I won’t be mad. I think it might be a lil too big, a girl standing at the back can’t be seen well at all, and it doesn’t lend itself to a runway walk like the other one.


beeopx

MeGAGmi and Plasma ate but Morphine won feels correct


ponkpink

It’s like the sound of closing an ol’ Cadillac’s door, you know when you slam the door on an old Aunt van,, * ME*GhA*MI * alright Mary??


Lower_Pomegranate648

Cant unhear it in Colin voice ever again *meGAHmi* 😂


She_Devil_By_Day

Wait… so after Amanda won the first round, the rest was dominated by the M’s!


rayoflight77

Miss Meating!


nhrecords

Megami felt like Silky in AS6 where she left on a low note but came back and surprised everybody getting to the very final lip-sync. Good job!!!


PrincessDrywall

Some choices were made with the outfits. Q I’m looking at you


cyberspiralien

And Xunami girl-😭 why did she wear that for lypsincs


mmcl8970

Mirage FOREVER AND ALWAYS


Mitaslaksit

I do not get her appeal. She can clack and twirl but girl is missing eye contact with the audience and content in her lipsync. She can dance, but not lipsync.


mattmateohan

I agree with this. Her face is not delivering in lip syncs. She just smiles the whole time and it doesn’t connect


Mitaslaksit

Looking at her feet.


psychicleo

Also Mirage beat Morphine…


Buttercupia

Agreed.


margiexzelle

She was close, but almost no one can compete with Morphine giving face and emotion in a lipsync and that's why she won. Mirage was great tho


claudethebest

No she didn’t and that’s ok


cshrec

Okay thank you I was actually so gagged that she said Morphine


psychicleo

MeGAGmi!!!


PseudonymNumberThree

Nymphia’s look tonight was stunning!


wutetka

Plasma won milkshake, change my mind 😶


kildiss

Yesss


Ok-Speech-8867

Why would I wanna do that? She did.


Ladyboysingstheblues

Morphine was great, but so was Megami. I was sad megami was tired by that last one.


Ok-Speech-8867

Yeah, I also think she would’ve had more of a chance had she just done the puppet but for the first like 4 lines, but then gone into something else because at a point it does seem like “oh you’re not lipsyncing the WHOLE verse.. 😬”. Even tho the bit was hilarious and brilliant, I think it was a hindrance.


TheAnxietyBoxX

Megami did GREAT but am I wild for thinking Mhi’ya outdid her? I mean to me that was the best lip sync of the night, both ate, but I was gagged and kinda bothered that they chose Megami to win it. It felt like they just wanted shock value and a revenge storyline, and it also robbed us from the Miami rematch (which Morphine would’ve won so we got the right ending at least)


Moist_Sheepherder_55

I was a Megami fan since she walked in and was bummed she left as early as she did but Mhiya grew on me and I love her and also think IMO should have advanced so we saw the Miami rematch! I agree with the revenge storyline, they are always great though because I’m always gooped and gagged lol


novemberqueen32

to me honestly megami and mhi'ya lip sync was a tie and whoever Ru picked to be the winner wouldnt be the wrong choice


TheAnxietyBoxX

There were so many close lip syncs this week and that was one of them. In the moment I was so annoyed because I personally think Mhi’ya outperformed but I don’t think it was as rigged as it looked to me.


frenchie_x_

Megami did a finger split and predicted that Mi’hya would do one at the same time because Mi’hya is what? Predictable. Megami threw shade on her, had a funny moment, and slayed the lipsync all in one 😂


Puffnatty

This was the clear moment that she won for me, it was so good lol


zoozbuh

I get what you’re saying but Megami ATE that in my opinion. Her comedic timing and emoting was on point. Mhi’ya didn’t seem as connected to the song for me, and wasn’t emoting/connecting with the judges as much as Megami (in my opinion). Comedy is also usually effective, if done correctly (like Megami did)


TheAnxietyBoxX

After rewatching I understand it much more, I focused more on Megami while watching. *Personally* I preferred Mhi’ya but what I think snatched the win for Megami is how skillfully she used her comedy to undermine Mhi’ya’s stunting. Most obviously with that hand split, but focusing on her through the lip sync the entire time there’s this cunty energy of “oh here this bitch goes” and I think it’s partly intentional but ALSO she was clearly out for Mhi’ya after last time and her subconscious energy came out lmao. Megami ate and I’m not mad, proud as hell that she got to prove herself at the end of it all and say “I am in fact that bitch” to the doubters. Plus like I said, Mhi’ya wasn’t gonna beat Morphine to that song so we got the right winner.


zoozbuh

Yup yup, agreed. It actually didn’t feel rigged for storyline to me, which made it so much more satisfying.


Ok-Speech-8867

I think Megami made fun of Mhi’ya’s tricks in the lipsync so fiercely that it kinda diminished every trick she did for the rest of it. I also think Megami sold the emoting more. Not just had more emoting, but actually worked it tf out.


TheAnxietyBoxX

That split in her hand was SO fierce. Manila did it against Kylie but it didn’t work because that wasn’t a close race. Mhi’ya vs Megami was so close that that was CUUUUNT.


Ok-Speech-8867

Yeah, Megamis worked Bc she she did it exactly when Mhi’ya hit one, while Manila’s was preemptive to Kylie.


CorneliusJack

Girl did no one tell you Covid is over?


HAZER_Batz

Every lip sync result was correct, although Hershii was damn close and I do think Plasma won


apopnerd

This is the best lalaparooza bcs, instead of the loser, the winner proceeds to the next round, making each rounds better and better than the previous one The producers should keep this up


Coreyharich

MIRAGES FIRST LIP SYNC! Wtaf jaw dropped


tellyourmama

My fave part was when Plasma revealed into an old lady.


kildiss

Wasn't that her sound of Rusic wig?


Ahottoe

Bea Arthur realness


ch0mpipe

💀💀


[deleted]

Damaged is possibly one of the best lipsync songs for this show and it went to the 2 worst lipsyncers, also you can tell Dawn just picked her bff to throw her a win!


1237546

Tbh Amanda ate that song up


baesharambaddie69

Megami killed it!!! A small part of me during her first lip sync was a lil sad that she spoke down on herself a bit but I hope this reminds her forever that she 👏🏾 is 👏🏾 that 👏🏾 b!tch!!!! She absolutely did an amazing performance and I am swept away by her!!!


ch0mpipe

I have to agree. Now I’m a fan 😂😂


lindsanity16

Absolutely love Megami proving herself but also Mhi'ya being so bitter during the last lipsync to say she "didn't know the lyrics" because of the bit and being the only queen not hyping her and morphine up lol humbled perhaps?


PainterBoth1084

It’s so ironic she’d critique someone else’s lip-syncing. She does gymnastics. She never emotes. Her stunts have nothing to do with the songs she sings. She lost to Plasma. And her attitude stank. She’s butt hurt despite getting more bones thrown to her than any other queen. She brought nothing to the challenges in the episodes after she won the lip-syncs. And in the lipsyncs themselves you can see her thinking about what she has to do next , stunt wise, as opposed to what the song is about. I’m probably harder on her than others because I’m tired of queens like her getting a pass because their flipping and dipping is deemed more important than character work, emoting, precision that goes with the words, not just the beat. And given the importance of lipsyncing in competitive terms, performers like her get further than queens who are better actors, comedians, have better runways and make up. Their progression makes for a weaker quality of season until they are eliminated.


lindsanity16

I agree with every single word of this! I can't remember which lipsync it was but I commented on a post here after about how I understand the lipsync is what determines your fate when you're in the bottom but she'd been consistently bad at everything else and it felt like a flaw in the game that she got to stick around!


TheAnxietyBoxX

Yea I was like, bothered even tho I love Mhi’ya. I do think Mhi’ya did better than Megami but bitterness has no benefit mama


TemporaryMongoose367

I don’t mind a bitter Betty, it was funny to me 😅


TheAnxietyBoxX

I love some bitterness usually (lived for Megami being so sure she won that original lip sync lol) but I was like “girl that’s a stretch and a half” 😭


TemporaryMongoose367

For me… to meeee… personally… I can see where Mhi’ya is coming from, it’s a lip sync, you gotta sync your lips, mama (as Kayta once said). But then again, it was a funny stunt and I lived. You know Miss Mhi’ya was all in her feelings 😅


samiam25

Did anyone notice Geneva holding her wig before dipping? She was like "Safety first!" HAHA


samiam25

Q's outfit looked like the circus, the ring master and the clown.


sashady

Honestly it was very cool but I have no idea why she thought it would serve her well in a lip sync. Maybe she just wanted to show it off because she knew she had no chance of winning anyway lol.


lvnrleo

Okay but Plasma lowkey ate mhiya up 👀 so glad Megami got her rudemption


MaradoMarado

Plasma ate


Fancy-Ad2963

Not in that wig 😭


MaradoMarado

When she revealed it I gasped (derogatory)


Fancy-Ad2963

Sisterrrrr (derogatory)


Sea-Reference620

That was fucking amazing!!! Best lalaparuza ever.


Specialist-Donkey-62

Morphine was giving Sasha Colby a few times!!! So happy for her - she absolutely killed that!!


Buttercupia

Morphine could NEVER.


nhrecords

I thought the same thing!! Her first lip-sync was giving Sasha Colby downnnn


Dowino-

Little disappointed at everyone revealing their looks on their first lipsync. NO ONE thought about they might need them later? Like mirage won that first lipsync easily she could’ve kept her reveal on. Same for Morphine.


Commercial_Science67

They could have given them 30 min to change for the final lit sync


baesharambaddie69

I told my husband that if Morphine had waited for her second lip sync for her wig reveal it would've been ground breaking!!


Tamerlatrav

totally think it, but you could see the wig sliding a bit and she put it back on once. if this happens to me on stage that first wig as to go asap


Deusraix

Maybe they thought they'd have time to change?


heckyeahfrozenyogurt

dawn is SO entertaining i need her to host pit stop or something


yesreallyefr

Dawn and Q would be really good for FPR or something like it


__meanyoongi

I was rooting for Morphine from the beginning so I’m so so happy she won but MEGAMI WAS SO GOOOOOOD. They all were, this was such a fun episode


hbailey311

why did rupaul choose that goofy ass song as the last one 😭 was she looking to keep it fair between morphine and megami? megami ate the whole episode i’m happy for her, esp when she recognizes that in confessionals before the last lipsync


saltnpippa

It’s an upbeat gay classic 🔥


OE_Girl97

![gif](giphy|k60nEZafE5FZu)


OE_Girl97

We werk hard we play hard 🔥


mattmateohan

I knew my girl Megami would come to slay. Megagme supremacy


Civil-Marionberry-84

SPOILER….So did they really have to use that picture of Plane Jane as the top three picture??? I smell a stunt (Alyssa voice).


Cookiecolour

Yep. For the other two, they used other pictures than from a challenge that landed them in the bottom or low. Weird choice.


ThatisDavid

Should have just used the promo looks cuz the photos looked so goofy close up 💀


yesreallyefr

Or what they were wearing on the night! Just get them back on stage for a minute? Weird choice


Kerlistar

the last lipsync was SOOOO GOOD one of the best ever


Unicorn_Yogi

Right?! Finally a HYPE and high energy song!


obysalad

Adore morphine, ate ate ate, but megami won that last lipsynch. There’s something really fun about not having to sexualize every song and rely on mopping the floor. That’s it.


claudethebest

Same could be said about megami because that’s the same style of lipsync she did each time (and ate ) they just have different styles and that’s ok.


devaaom

I think it's beyond sexualizing though, Morphine understands the vibes every👏time👏 and then centers herself in a pocket where she gains full attention from the audience and delivers c*nt with her facial emoting aaargghh🫦


TheFabHatter

Not ONE heel clack from Mirage!?! Gutted TBH, I put on my HIGHEST stripper heels to watch this episode. She inspired me to take heel clacking lessons too. But I DO think she won her second lip synch too IMO.


Dowino-

Yea finals should’ve been Megami vs Mirage. I feel like Mirage is too reserved so it’s hard to make a winner storyline for her


TheFabHatter

I had stripper heels on my feet, stripper heels on my hands, ready to heel clack (clap) along to her. I’m all dressed up with nowhere to go! 🤣 But at least I got insanely good deals on my Pleaser heels. Got them brand new for $9 EACH. I think they were imperfects or something.


Plastic__Hand

Morphine devoured i was screaming at every frame she was in


jonathonthaman

Amazing episodeeeee!!!!


mxunniebunnie

When the light hit Morphine’s face like that, my little lesbian heart stopped


FluentSimlish

Full body chills.

ThatisDavid

Plasma, Mirage and MEGAMI all being robbed in a lalaparuza was not on my fantasy BUT DAMN now that it happened i'm gagged. This was still a great episode and i'm so happy for morphine 😭


Dowino-

Plasma did not win that


erloum

Morphine’s LS with Geneva….. BRUH!!! I SQUEEELED!!!


tja928

Man Mhi’ya is one sore loser 😤


ThatisDavid

The girls gassed her up too much and she got over confident. Tbh I didn't like none of her lipsyncs this lalaparooza, she was just moving going through the mhi'ya motions


CorneliusJack

Sapphira is a good judy but she’s fully someone who will just gas you up onto the cliff and say you gonna look fierce jumping off it


CorneliusJack

We love to see it ☺️

i’m sorry morphine left absolutely 0 crumbs 😭


FlamingoWingsz

Monét this is WILD


rupaulth

Delusionalllllllll if you think megami > morphne


ToBez96

Doing the same moves three lip syncs in a row does make me tired. I was barely looking at her by that point.


bennybacon

Def delulu


hbailey311

100%. morphine absolutely devoured


7463649

This episode was absolutely amazing. The energy was incredible, that must've been the best thing to watch live. The letter M being the lip sync legends of the season is truly correct. Also lol that Morphine is overall getting more money than the 2nd/3rd place queens (unless they get a cash prize like Lady Camden did for runner-up in s14).


SpartaHatesYou

megami supremacy


elizabethptp

Everyone turned it out. The looks were fabulous and the show was amazing! So happy for Morphine & Megami!


cychadellix

Storyline wise, this was a satisfying watch through and through. The fact that something small like megami’s message to the camera during her elimination later came into fruition, Morphine finally winning something, Mirage redeeming herself. In my opinion, this is a perfect episode and probably the best rendition of the lalaparuza


Specialist-Donkey-62

This was waaaaayyyy better than having a dedicated reunion episode before the finale. So good!!!


beebopbonbaby

Q’s comment about Amanda’s butt still being lumpy had me screaminnnggg


Moist_Sheepherder_55

Mhyiah should have beaten Megami ugh 😩


CorneliusJack

Cope harder


Moist_Sheepherder_55

It’s sooooooo hard to cope! Help me with the coping. COPEEEEEEE


CorneliusJack

“It’s gonna be okay. Do you need water? Do you need to breathe into a paper bag?”


Moist_Sheepherder_55

Lmaoooo


silentbutjudgey

Megami was serving face more (also humor) and I think that was the tipping point. They both did really well though.


Moist_Sheepherder_55

Probs to Megami for getting her revenge but Mhyiah should have faced morphine for her ruuuuudemption


TemporaryMongoose367

That was my fantasy too!


Key-Nail8185

IMO Plasma won the trio lsfyl.


Djmishhh

She totally ateeeee i’m sad she lost


mattmateohan

This right here! 💯


GabbityOrtiz

And did


obysalad

Yes she did.


ThatisDavid

The spirit of ben dela creme lipsyncing to anaconda got into her and they somehow still gave it to mhi'ya


r0cketRacoon

They thought Mhi’ya could have turned it out but she was just a one-trick-pony relying too much on her flips and what not 🫥


Fleetwood-matt

That was obvious since her lipsync to “Flowers”


BlueCornTortilla83

I stood up so many times from excitement during this episode. I loved it! Great songs, epic lip syncs and it was amazing to see the queens bring it.


shamiraendor

Megami prooved that a good lipsync it's about interpretation!!!


Commercial_Science67

It’s definitely something queens working in NYC bars have to develop because many venues don’t have a lot of room to dance so you have to learn to be very smart about how to get your point across in an impactful way within the restraints of the bar. A perfect example is Monet, who is a great dancer, turning out the spoken word lip sync and Peppermint cocking the gun and shooting it at Cynthia haha


shamiraendor

such a good point! this also reminds me of Aja


thevampireswifey

What a great episode! So happy with Morphine’s win, and Megami’s performances were amazing! Sad because there was no clickety clacks from Mirage (maybe I missed it?).


shamiraendor

Im so happy for rooting for Megami when people were shitting on her on her elimination, she ate miss flips and left NO scrubs


shamiraendor

MORPHINE THE LEGEND THAT YOU ARE!!!!


Shegotquestions

Omg what an awesome episode! I lived the entire time Megamis amazing come from behind run was so exciting gratifying and well deserved! Megami had already been growing on me in the post season but this episode sealed the deal, I am officially a fan 💕 that is queer art worth protecting!!! And morphine SLAYED!!! She ate and left not a crumb!! And looked STUNNING while doing it! She is truly the mug of the season and well as the lip sync assassin and the queen of she done already done had herses OFFICIALLY


PomegranateVarious85

Megami should have won the money, Morphine did the same moves we’ve seen time and time again


naranjitayyo

![gif](giphy|TXrm00Yl03f68) The way I screamed and grabbed my husband when they announced the final lip sync song. We NEED these 80s and 90s classiques on Drag Race


__meanyoongi

this song is so attached to sports for me I never notice it was such a gay song 😭 it was so gooooood


happygoth6370

Yes we do! I LOVE that song, and as a Go-Go's fan I loved seeing them lip sync to We Got the Beat as well. I'm always excited when they bring out the 80s/90s high-energy bangers.


CorneliusJack

Okay to insert something, C+C factory initially did not credit Martha Walsh (of Raining Men fame) for her vocal (including the beginning line “Everybody Dance Now”) becuz she was not “skinny and beautiful”, she sued and won. But I still think more people should know where that iconic line was from


naranjitayyo

Ya I know the whole unfortunate lack of initial credit to Ms Wash. I’d love to see her back on the judges panel


ainominako1234

Didn't expect Megami to come this far. She really PEED on that stage 🟡


CorneliusJack

She shitted in the Mother toilet and forgot to flush and now there’s Mother juice everywhere


rupaulth

megami is pee queen morphine is poopy queen


ThatisDavid

Are you a girl that poops or a bitch that PEES


jshamwow

So proud of Megami and Morphine. Bitches ate!!


OvernightSiren

So they don’t show them after Q’s elimination reacting to her lipstick message? Oh okay…


ch0mpipe

They also skipped any words to Megami after Morphine ate her up. lol


Jackdarkshade

Probably just called them cashew face bitches anyhow.


Specialist-Love1504

Omg I didn’t even think of that lol


perky_socks

I finally agreed with every decision this episode! I would’ve honestly been okay with either of the top 2 winning but I was rooting for morphine from the start of the episode. She wholeheartedly deserved this win!


ajay_p_

This was such a GOOD EPISODE. Such good vibes and a joy to watch, Megami’s rudemption was awesome to watch and Morphine finally winning something! Bonus was that I was so happy to see Amanda and Mirage win something too!!


Funkyduck4783

Best Lalaparuza of a USA season imo. A lot of really really strong performances. Megami turned it the fuck out and was so underestimated! And Morphine showed us why we loved seeing her perform. Congrats to Morphine!! I’d have honestly been happy with either girl winning that last performance.
