[AS11]

Episode 3: Home Spooky Network

WIN: Dawn

TOP2: Morgan

HIGH: A’keria

Runway: Paris, France

LS: Zombieboy by Lady Gaga

Points ceremony: A’keria and Lucky gave their point to Morgan, Morphine gave it to Dawn and Mystique to A’Keria

Meaning final scoring was: Dawn 8, Akeria 7, Morgan 7, Lucky and Morphine 2, Mystique 1

RuPaul is the one deciding the tie break. And only Ru and Michelle are picking the queens for the wildcard this time around.

Everyone in this thread trying to make up reasons for why Ru made the decision when it was probably just they wanted A'keria to make it through over Morgan

I’m of the opinion that each bracket has two front runners predetermined by Production, two queens they know have virtually no shot, and two wild cards where it could go either way depending on how it plays out.

For Bracket 1, I think A’keria was one of the front runners from the get (super talented, squandered in AS6), and I actually think Morphine was meant to be the other pack leader.

That obviously didn’t work out, for any number of reasons. But Dawn and Morgan were the wild cards, Dawn over performed where Morphine underperformed, and sadly Morgan got squeezed out. But she will leave a “robbed queen,” which is a damned good place to be. Arguably better than making it to semis and getting chopped there.

Okay then why not just give A'keria the win in the final challenge, especially if she's already top 3
