The five remaining queens – VanMicheals, Bosco, Betty, Camden, and Pill – are now all getting a chance to snatch the crown and take home the $150,000 grand prize. In the end, though, RuPaul couldn’t reach a decision. Meanwhile, Bosco and Betty were deemed safe and moved on to the finale.ĭespite being perceived as shoo-ins for the top four by many fans, VanMicheals and Pill fell into the bottom two and had to lip sync for a final spot at the grand finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

After the performance played out, with the performers doing a cast mix of “Catwalk” complete with a music video inspired by George Michael's “Too Funky,” Mama Ru announced that Camden won the last maxi challenge of the season. Looking at this scenario, there wasn’t a single queen who felt absolutely safe from elimination if she happened to do poorly in her “rumix” number. VanMicheals and Camden won two maxi challenges, whereas Pill had one win. And then there were Angeria Paris VanMicheals, Lady Camden, and Willow Pill - three queens who only had to lip sync for their lives during the “LaLaPaRuZa” episode. With three bottom placements and only one maxi challenge win, one could say that the odds weren’t stacked in Daya Betty’s favor, either. Even though Bosco won three maxi challenges before the semifinals, she had plenty of rough nights and was practically eliminated, only being saved by the “golden ticket” twist. There are 14 queens competing this season, with the first-ever heterosexual cisgender male among the cast too, believe it or not.RuPaul’s Drag Race season 14 is finally coming to an end after what felt like the longest season in the show’s herstory - in reality, it’s the same length as season 13.Īhead of tonight’s episode, each of the five semifinalists had very different track records. In season 13, Ru added a $5,000 cash tip for maxi challenge winners, something that season 14 queens might be able to look forward to. Of course, there are always twists that the show likes to add. The large cash prize is for certain again this season. It’s changed over the years because of inflation, economics, and all that real-world math, but ever since season 4, the winner crowned America’s Next Drag Superstar has typically won $100,000, a crown and scepter, a year’s worth of makeup, and bragging rights. So we can only hope that there are going to be a lot of exciting cameos. There’s no telling who they might be, but Ru’s had stars like Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Normani, and even AOC on the show. We should also expect some extra-special celebrity guest judges. This will most likely include Drag Race regulars Michelle Visage, Ross Matthews, and Carson Kressley. Who’s judging this season?Īs per usual, Mama Ru will be calling all the shots but will be consulting the other judges on her panel.

The aftershow RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked will air immediately after the episode. Set your calendars, besties! The announcement for season 14 was confirmed back in November 2020, when RuPaul posted the casting call through social media. ET on Friday, January 7, with a whole two-part premiere. The newest season is slated to hit VH1 at 8 p.m.
