The critiques of her ranged from the muted to the dismissive, aside from the expected plaudits that she’s incredibly talented. The judging in the finale unfortunately demonstrated that, for all her prowess and star power, Kitty wasn’t a viable choice for the win.

(Symone actually had both, plus the track record.) However, it’s hard to win if you’re not leading in some metric by the finale: Kylie Sonique Love had the fans, for instance, while Lawrence Chaney had Ru’s adoration. She’s a terrific queen-my favourite of the top three-with a great mix of professionalism and irreverence, and she’d make for a great third winner of Drag Race UK. But it was Ella who got the most response from fans on the show’s various #Team social media posts, leaving Kitty without much of a platform to mount her case for the win. RUNNER-UP: Kitty Scott-Claus (last week: 2)īefore seeing the results of the fan vote, I had incorrectly assumed each of the finalists would have some major strength going into the endgame: Ella Vaday would have the track record, Krystal Versace would have Ru’s adoration and Kitty would have the fan support. (Bianca del Rio and Envy Peru accomplished the same, but of course, both won their seasons.) She can walk out of the competition proud of what she accomplished, even if the finale was a bit of a down note on which to end her run. She joins Bimini Bon Boulash and Divina de Campo in that particular club, and joins Scarlett BoBo-as well as, funnily enough, Kitty Scott-Claus-as the only queens to never score so much as “low” in any challenge but not win the season. Indeed, that lack of real attention proved to be her downfall, as she lost despite having the best track record in the competition. And Ru’s lack of substantial praise for her stood out as a negative, too: while a dynamite performance earned mostly “job well done” plaudits from the host, even Krystal Versace’s worst moments inspired gushing praise on Ru’s part. For a show that often telegraphs who will be winning early on, Ella’s lack of presence in the “story” of the season was a troubling sign that, for all the merits of her impressive track record, she might not be able to cross the finish line.
