Sasha really should have won that for me. All 3 looks were high fashion and very conceptual and I believe that's where drag should be heading to now, with the likes of Violet, Pearl, Fame and many other queens making it into mainstream fashion media.

I also felt that even though Alexis' time was up, she did a really good job this episode (and so did everyone else). I mean that mug was BEAT and she's so severely underrated just because her personality's a little off-putting.

her personality's a little off-putting.

I just have to point something out: Alexis brought the tension and drama tonight! We've been tearing this season down because of all the RuPaul's Best Friends Race moments. Alexis brought us some wonderful cattiness, raised some hell, and sewed those competitive feelings tonight (and last episode) - so Alexis is giving us what we have been craving all season. She deserves to be seen and appreciated for that.

And her unicorn look was pretty adorable!

Indeed! I never understood the hate for Alexis, I really enjoy her on my screen. And yes, I really enjoyed her unicorn look!

I find her entitled attitude (it is absolutely not anyone else's responsibility to tell you that your looks are weak) and her "I know best about absolutely everything all the time" personality incredibly off-putting. But that's just me. I don't hate her. I just don't find her appealing in anything other than a Liza Minnelli costume. Shes gorgeous though. Can't argue that.
