00:00I was going to feel like all roses, and roses it was.
00:04Roses it was.
00:06Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the lip-sync reveals that
00:10were unforgettable for all the right reasons, and all the wrong ones too.
00:14We're looking at reveals based on surprise, execution, and originality.
00:18So simple wig reveals won't cut it.
00:20Sister, I'm doing it for himself.
00:26Number 15. Trixie Mattel's Wrecking Ball Reveal, Fail.
00:30This final lip-sync may be one of the most polarizing in Drag Race herstory.
00:35Trixie Mattel and Kennedy Davenport definitely have different strengths,
00:38which is especially clear when they're lip-syncing.
00:40We kissed, I fell under your spell of love, no one could deny.
00:48Trixie digs into the storytelling aspect, whereas Kennedy twirls and dances her face off.
00:53There's one moment in her winning lip-sync that stands out.
00:56I came in like a wrecking ball.
01:00I want to be the top all-star, because nobody in the history of Drag Race
01:04has spun straw into gold from this experience like I have.
01:08Her reveal from a yellow robe to a sparkly red mini-dress and yellow rain boots is not dramatic,
01:13nor is it all that flattering.
01:15Even Trixie has regrets.
01:16Her win, though deserved, was definitely more about her cumulative effort to that point.
01:21You are all correct. It is embarrassing.
01:24I don't know what this was. It's just not my favorite look, you guys.
01:26I mean, looking at it, don't you guys think it's a little mish-mosh, pish-posh?
01:29Oh, that was such a gag.
01:30Number 15. Willow Pill and Lady Camden's Coordinated Reveals.
01:34Win. Just when you thought finale reveals were tired and played out.
01:38Facing off against each other in the season's very last lip-sync,
01:41season 14 finalists Willow Pill and Lady Camden could not have planned this better.
01:45There's not a soul out there
01:49No one to hear my prayer
01:55Lip-syncing to Cher's cover of ABBA's Gimme Gimme Gimme,
01:59both were clearly hiding a few tricks up their sleeves.
02:02Each one had not one, not two, but three perfectly timed reveals.
02:06Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme a bed after midnight
02:09Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
02:13Lady Camden called back to her iconic runway stunt
02:16and Willow shed an oversized striped tuxedo
02:19until they were both tearing up the stage together.
02:22It was a joint slay.
02:24Gimme, gimme, gimme a bed after midnight
02:27Take me through the darkness to the river with death.
02:38Number 14.
02:39Jewel Sparkle's Ruvila Palooza.
02:41Fail.
02:42Sometimes less is more.
02:44Season 17's lip-sync for The Crown was pretty underwhelming.
02:47Anya Nerve's dancing left a lot to be desired,
02:50but category is underwhelming reveals.
02:52Hold me in your heart tonight
02:55In the magic of the dark moonlight
02:59Finalist Jewel Sparkles had too many outfit modifications
03:02for a three-minute performance.
03:04They feel ill-timed and random as a result.
03:06It's all very creative, but at a certain point,
03:09it feels more like a reveal for The Crown
03:10than a lip-sync for The Crown.
03:12What's worse is that some of the transitions she makes
03:14are a bit clunky.
03:16Many came away underwhelmed by this final lip-sync.
03:30I'll just add ourselves to the list of people
03:33who think Bosco is absolutely stunning.
03:35Her gorgeous flowy dress makes her look like a tornado
03:38on the main stage.
03:39It's already a visual marvel,
03:40but just when it feels like that might be it,
03:42she strips into a super revealing outfit
03:45that perfectly shows off her natural assets.
03:56She was already trouncing Irene the Alien
03:58with the sheer energy of the performance alone,
04:01but this was like the final nail in the coffin.
04:03This just put her over the top
04:05and secured her the win for the week.
04:07You have won a cash tip of $10,000.
04:11Yay!
04:13Plus, an extra point.
04:16Number 13.
04:17Trinity the Tuck's Stronger Reveal, Fail.
04:19This season 9 finalist had the misfortune
04:21to compete in the show's very first lip-sync
04:24Smackdown for The Crown.
04:25Trinity the Tuck had the right idea.
04:27Think that I will make it
04:35This season was going to be one with shocks and stunts.
04:38Whereas her opponents brought entire transformations,
04:41Trinity the Tuck had no idea
04:42that her simple tearaway skirt wasn't going to cut it.
04:45It's the drag race equivalent
04:46of wearing a diamond-studded bikini to the Met Gala.
04:49It's nice, it makes a statement,
04:50but it sort of pales in comparison.
04:53Number 13.
04:53Silky Nutmeg Ganache's Half and Half Reveal.
04:56Win.
04:56Episode 10 was basically the Silky Show.
04:59Despite being eliminated in All-Star 6's third episode,
05:02she dominated in a lip-sync Smackdown competition
05:05for a chance to get back into the game.
05:07Silky Nutmeg Ganache did not let the fact
05:09that her competitor didn't show up stop her.
05:11She had a show to put on,
05:13even if she had to go solo.
05:14How you feeling?
05:16I am truly blessed and humbled to be here another week.
05:19I prepare from head to toe today.
05:21Her veil and dress did not make sense at first.
05:23Then, once Aqua's Barbie girl kicks into high gear,
05:26we realize she is made up and dressed
05:28in half-masculine, half-feminine drag.
05:30Barbie, let's go Barbie.
05:32I'm not Barbie, I'm not Barbie.
05:34In the Barbie world.
05:36Life is classic.
05:38It's fantastic.
05:39She turns each side toward the judges
05:41when the song switches from Barbie's voice to Ken's.
05:43It is so dumb, it's actually genius.
05:46Come on Barbie, let's go Barbie.
05:49Come on Barbie, let's go Barbie.
05:53Number 12, Milan's Born This Way Strip, Fail.
05:57We can argue over the technicalities of what a reveal is,
06:00but Milan's frantic and dramatic tearing at her own runway look
06:03to reveal her body underneath
06:05is clearly meant to go with the song.
06:07It's a desperate reach for a poignant moment
06:09that doesn't quite pay off.
06:10Baby, you were born this way.
06:13You were born this way.
06:15Born This Way is obviously a celebration of the self,
06:18even in the face of discrimination and hardship.
06:20Milan's heart is in the right place here,
06:22but judging from the reactions
06:24and the way the lip sync is edited,
06:26it's not giving.
06:27She sashayed away soon after.
06:29It was my moment to stop,
06:31and so now I take on the next journey.
06:33Have fun.
06:34Realize that your purpose here is to be an ambassador,
06:37to teach a message of hope and love.
06:40Number 12, Gia Gunn's Adrenaline Reveal.
06:43Win.
06:43It's not like Gia Gunn to cover up.
06:45Her black Victorian schoolgirl look was fabulous,
06:47but it was very unlike her.
06:49There had to be something going on underneath.
06:51You're running through my veins.
06:53Make me come alive.
06:55Make me come alive.
06:58Give me one shot, one shot of adrenaline.
07:02She waited until Adrenaline reached the breakdown
07:05before throwing it off.
07:07The club beat kicks in,
07:08and suddenly,
07:09Gia is tearing off her uncharacteristically chased look
07:12to reveal a spangled fringe number.
07:14These girls are both wearing human hair bundles.
07:16It is the human hair bundle competition of life.
07:20Her transformation is seamless.
07:21In the same movement,
07:23she makes the switch
07:24and launches right into her ballroom-inspired dance.
07:27Naomi Smalls goes on to win the lip sync,
07:29but it might just be one of the closest we've ever seen.
07:53I'm a drag assassin,
07:58and I'm not going home
08:00against the likes of Mimi I'm First.
08:02Her runway look was already
08:03not winning her any favor with the judges.
08:05When she stripped it off
08:06to reveal a shorter but pretty unremarkable dress,
08:09it's about as exciting as watching paint dry.
08:12Uh-oh.
08:13Mimi's doing a costume change.
08:15The big reveal.
08:16The big reveal.
08:18Oh, that's it?
08:19We're with Manila Luzon on this one.
08:21It just has us wondering,
08:23that's it?
08:23We'll refrain from complaining about the Paris twist,
08:26but Mimi's reluctant partner Pandora Box
08:28looks like she'd rather be anywhere else.
08:31Number 11.
08:31Raja's straight-up reveal.
08:33Win.
08:33As is usually the case for wig reveals,
08:36if you don't have something better underneath,
08:38don't do it.
08:38In this case,
08:39the rule does not apply.
08:41When she went up against Carmen Carrera
08:43in this Paula Abdul lip sync,
08:44Raja knew she had to beat the body queen at her own game.
08:47I've worked so hard from day one since I've been here,
08:50and I would hate to go home.
08:51I had to muster out all the fierceness I could find within me
08:54and just go for it.
08:55She slowly peeled off her cheetah print dress
08:57and stepped out of it in a tantalizing set of lace lingerie.
09:00It is one of the most sexually charged lip syncs,
09:03and certainly one of the most seductive reveals
09:06we've ever seen on the main stage.
09:07And that's saying a lot, to be honest.
09:09Ladies, we've had 28 lip syncs for your life,
09:14and that was by far straight up.
09:17The most surprising one ever.
09:20Number 10.
09:21Sierra Mist's Born Naked Reveal, Fail.
09:24In one of the most controversial lip syncs of the season,
09:27Sierra Mist was declared a winner
09:29in her battle against Athena Dion.
09:30I said, who?
09:32Who do you think you are?
09:36Who do you think you are?
09:39Performing RuPaul's Born Naked,
09:41Sierra went for a fun reference
09:42to the 2024 body horror movie The Substance.
09:45But as she shed the monstrous shell
09:47of a costume,
09:48she kept getting tripped up.
09:49Facing away from the audience
09:50for half of the costume change,
09:52she tugged at her first layer
09:53like it was the first time
09:54she had ever attempted it.
09:56Oh, oh God.
09:58Come on, Sierra.
09:59Take it, Mom.
10:00The final look,
10:01portraying the younger version
10:02of the character from the movie,
10:03seemed like an anti-climax.
10:05It didn't stop Ru from awarding her the win.
10:08Fans were skeptical, to say the least.
10:10I thought I ate that.
10:11You did.
10:12Run me that drink now.
10:13I'm sorry.
10:14I did better than...
10:15I'm gonna go sit on the couches
10:17with the winners.
10:18I'm gonna drink until the delusion feels real.
10:21Number 10.
10:22Jessica Wilde's Coconuts Reveal.
10:24Win.
10:24Has any other queen
10:25ever won a lip sync this fast?
10:27Mere seconds into the bouncy
10:28Kim Petras track Coconuts,
10:30Jessica Wilde rips open her coat
10:32to reveal a gigantic silicone breastplate.
10:42Suddenly, nothing else matters.
10:45It's so funny purely as a visual gag,
10:47but it's also such a literal take on the song
10:49that it keeps you laughing the whole time.
10:51Most of all, it's just so hypnotizing.
10:53Lip sync assassin Raja O'Hara
10:55doesn't stand a chance here.
10:56After that,
10:57Jessica could literally sit on stage
10:59and jiggle every couple of seconds
11:01for the rest of the song
11:02and she'd still win.
11:11I should not have enjoyed that
11:12as much as I did.
11:14My face hurt.
11:15Number 9.
11:16Aquarius If Lip Sync.
11:18Fail.
11:19After Sasha Velour's legendary rose petals
11:21in Season 9's Lip Sync for the Crown,
11:23to say expectations were raised
11:25is an understatement.
11:26The next batch of finalists
11:28attempted to recreate that magic
11:29with varying results.
11:39Aquarius' first lip sync look
11:40became one of her rare fashion misses
11:42throughout her run
11:42when she hit the stage
11:43in a puffy silver ensemble.
11:45It was clear she had something underneath.
11:48But viewers were left whelmed
11:49when she immediately tore it off
11:51to show a basic pink bodysuit
11:53with fabric spikes.
11:59The fan referencing Vanjie
12:01and eventual glitter spike
12:02were not enough to distract
12:04from the lackluster outfit.
12:05Luckily,
12:06it didn't affect the outcome
12:07of the lip sync
12:08with her moving on
12:09and eventually taking home the crown.
12:11Shantae, you both stay.
12:20Condragulations,
12:20you both made it to the finals.
12:23Number 9.
12:24Simone's Gimme More Reveal.
12:26Win.
12:26The grand finale lip sync
12:28between finalists Simone and Gutmick
12:30could have gone either way,
12:31but the effortless reveal
12:32already put Simone way ahead.
12:34A smooth mid-lip sync costume change
12:37is hard to pull off.
12:38In one continuous movement,
12:39Simone rips off
12:41her fashion-forward tracksuit
12:42to reveal a gorgeous
12:43two-piece and boots.
12:57The style whiplash
12:59between the two looks
12:59is a stroke of genius.
13:01It's a gorgeously executed twirl
13:03on its own.
13:03That she manages to rip
13:05and tear at all the right pieces
13:06and make it look like
13:07it's not even that big a deal
13:08is why she's a winner.
13:15Number 8.
13:16Rosé's Work Bitch Lip Sync.
13:17Fail.
13:18Just because you can add a reveal
13:19to a performance
13:20doesn't mean you always should.
13:22Rosé had done well
13:23throughout season 13
13:24and soon found herself
13:25going up against Candy Muse
13:27in the first round
13:28of the lip sync showdown.
13:29Ooh!
13:30Work bitch!
13:31I can't wait to see
13:33how this turns out!
13:34It already wasn't looking good
13:36when she arrived wearing
13:36a pink suit coat
13:37and thigh-high pink boots.
13:39As the song progressed,
13:41she slowly removed
13:42the jacket and boots
13:42to unveil a bodysuit
13:44the exact same color.
13:54The outfit didn't do much
13:55to flatter her beauty
13:56or performance
13:57and was quickly overshadowed
13:59by Candy Muse's
14:00multicolored leotard.
14:01Had she been wearing
14:02something more exciting
14:03or fashion-forward,
14:04then she may have
14:05clinched the win.
14:06Unfortunately,
14:07it signaled the end
14:08of Rosé's
14:09impressive run instead.
14:21Number 8.
14:22Bosco's
14:23Show Me How You Burlesque
14:24lip sync.
14:24Win!
14:25Grandeur and Spectacle
14:26were on the menu this week.
14:27Bosco appeared
14:28in an expensive-looking
14:29Las Vegas showgirl number,
14:31complete with a massive
14:32peacock feather headpiece
14:33and a large boa
14:34covering the strategic areas.
14:36Underneath the city lights,
14:39there is a world
14:41few know about.
14:43In true Bosco fashion,
14:45she soon drops
14:46her modesty pieces
14:47to reveal a nude illusion
14:48through a glittering
14:49and revealing showpiece.
14:50The ultimate reveal
14:52is still to come.
14:53The peacock feather headpiece
14:54comes off in two pieces.
14:55Here go the boys
14:56and get a show
14:57a little more,
14:58more, more.
14:59Oh my god.
15:00Get it up, get it up,
15:01won't let you rest.
15:02Get it up, get it up,
15:03this is not a test.
15:04Style superstar Carson Kressley
15:06is as gagged as we are.
15:08She uses them
15:08to do a teasing fan dance
15:10like a true blue
15:11burlesque goddess.
15:12Oh my god.
15:14Get it up, get it up,
15:15this is not a test.
15:16Get it up, get it up,
15:17gotta give me a battle.
15:18Oh, get your ass up,
15:19show me how you've been left.
15:20Number seven,
15:21Gia Gunn's
15:22head-to-toe lip sync.
15:23Fail.
15:24To paraphrase
15:25the great Bianca Del Rio,
15:26if you're gonna reveal
15:27a look,
15:27then you shouldn't
15:28draw it out.
15:29Gia Gunn learned
15:29this the hard way
15:30after ending up
15:31in the bottom
15:32due to a subpar
15:33Snatch Game performance.
15:34But everything
15:35should be okay.
15:37Kim, you look gorgeous.
15:41Absolutely.
15:42During her lip sync
15:42to head-to-toe,
15:43she decided to remove
15:44her gown in favor
15:45of a sparkly bodysuit
15:46she had on underneath it.
15:48The only issue?
15:49She took her time
15:50taking it off,
15:51drawing out the process
15:52as long as possible.
15:54Rule number one,
15:55you're gonna do a reveal,
15:56get out of the dress.
15:57We all know reveal
15:58in French means
15:59take it off.
16:00By the time she finished,
16:01the song was nearly over
16:02and Laganja had danced
16:04circles around her.
16:05Had she quickly
16:06taken it off,
16:07she may have had
16:07a better chance
16:08at remaining
16:08in the competition.
16:10J-J-J-Gia,
16:11my pet.
16:12Make no mistake,
16:14I love you
16:15from head to toe.
16:17Now,
16:19sashay away.
16:20Number seven,
16:21Brooklyn Heights
16:21point shoe reveal.
16:22Win.
16:23Another lip sync
16:24for the crown,
16:25another year of queens
16:26trying to wow the crowd
16:27with mid-song costume changes.
16:29But Brooklyn Heights
16:29doesn't just reveal
16:30a pair of shoes,
16:31she unexpectedly whips out
16:33one of her talents.
16:34She yanks patches
16:35out of her boots
16:35to reveal red point shoes
16:36and dances the rest
16:38of Destiny's Child's
16:39bootylicious on point.
16:47She pulls focus
16:48from fellow finalists
16:49silky nutmeg ganache
16:50in a major way
16:51and wins the lip sync.
16:53There are few people
16:54who can actually
16:55dance on point,
16:56let alone drag race queens.
16:57It was a power move
16:58as much as it was a reveal.
17:11Number six,
17:12Trinity the Tuck's
17:13Lala Perusa look.
17:14Fail.
17:14A reveal lacking
17:15in creativity
17:16can make the whole look
17:17fall flat.
17:18Trinity the Tuck
17:19proved this during
17:20the All-Stars 4
17:20Lala Perusa.
17:22Peanut butter.
17:24You ready for some
17:25peanut butter?
17:26Yes, ma'am.
17:27It made sense
17:27to plan a second one
17:28given the fact
17:29that it was a lip sync showdown,
17:30but she went about it
17:31in an underwhelming way.
17:32She came out
17:33in a giant oversized cloak
17:35that showed only her head,
17:36making it obvious
17:37to everyone
17:38from the judges
17:38to the other contestants
17:39that she had something
17:40that she had something else
17:40underneath.
17:41Oh, yes, honey.
17:43Due to the fact
17:43that her thighs spread
17:45just like...
17:49Not only was it
17:50a lazy take on the idea,
17:52it also got rid
17:53of the most important aspect
17:54of any unveiling,
17:55the element of surprise.
17:57It didn't help
17:58that the outfit beneath it
17:59wasn't anything show-stopping,
18:00making the entire stunt
18:02feel unnecessary.
18:03Oh, yes, honey.
18:08Number 6
18:09Nymphia Wins Balloons
18:11Win
18:11Considering she incorporated
18:13the color yellow
18:14into every look,
18:15the season 16 champion
18:16trained us
18:17to expect it from her.
18:18Her finale look
18:19does not disappoint.
18:29During her lip sync
18:30against Zephira Cristal,
18:32she clearly has a reveal
18:33waiting under
18:34her ornate golden ombre cape.
18:36She opens it up
18:37and drops it
18:37for three separate
18:38eye-catching reveals.
18:40There's the outfit underneath,
18:41but also the gorgeous blue
18:42and floral lining
18:43of the cape.
18:44Most gaggy of all
18:45is the collection
18:46of black balloons
18:46she releases
18:47at the same time.
18:48It's so different,
18:49both for her
18:50and for the tradition
18:51of finale lip sync reveals.
19:00Number 5
19:01Mimi I'm First's
19:03Don't Leave Me This Way Lip Sync.
19:05Fail.
19:05This lip sync
19:06is infamous
19:07for Mimi's choice
19:08to non-consensually
19:09hoist India Farrah
19:10onto her back
19:11mid-performance.
19:12You gotta make sure
19:13that you're always
19:14the one that's in front.
19:19But even putting aside
19:21the messy physical antics
19:22that led to her elimination,
19:24Mimi did not have
19:25an easy time on stage.
19:27As she attempted
19:28to step out
19:28of her floor-length
19:29animal print gown
19:30at the back
19:30of the runway,
19:31she tripped over
19:32the garment
19:33gathered at her feet.
19:39To make matters worse,
19:41it became attached
19:42to her heel
19:42and she had to try
19:44to shake the dress off.
19:45Any Drag Race fan
19:47knows that a reveal
19:48is only as good
19:49as its execution
19:50and her sequined
19:52mini-dress
19:52was completely
19:53overshadowed
19:54by her clumsy footwork.
19:55Now,
19:57sashay away.
19:59Number 5.
20:00Evie Oddly's
20:01Edge of Glory Lip Sync
20:02win.
20:02It's rare that you see
20:04two competitors
20:04both flawlessly
20:06pull off reveals.
20:07I need a man
20:08that thinks it's right
20:09when it's so wrong
20:10tonight,
20:11yeah baby,
20:12tonight,
20:13yeah baby.
20:14During the season 11 finale,
20:16Brooklyn Heights
20:16and Evie Oddly
20:17both proved
20:18they had some unique
20:19tricks up their sleeves.
20:20The former took
20:21a tongue-in-cheek approach
20:22with a cloak
20:22covered in the word
20:23reveal
20:24and teasing
20:25what was to come.
20:33Evie went
20:34the understated route
20:35wearing a gorgeous
20:36ball gown
20:36with a mirrored headpiece.
20:38During a lull
20:38in the song,
20:39she spun around
20:40to show off
20:41a second face
20:41on the back of her head.
20:52It was a truly innovative
20:54and breathtaking stunt
20:55and she did it all
20:56without removing
20:57a single article
20:58of clothing.
20:59Her subtle execution
21:00ended up paying off
21:01with her winning
21:02the lip sync
21:03and the crown.
21:04Number 4.
21:05Layla McQueen's
21:06I Will Survive
21:07lip sync
21:07Fail
21:08This classic
21:12disco song
21:13of strength
21:13and overcoming
21:14is considered
21:15an LGBTQ plus anthem
21:17but it didn't get
21:18a fitting tribute
21:19on Drag Race Season 8.
21:21Neither Layla
21:21nor Dax
21:22Exclamation Point's
21:23performances were up to par
21:24and the former's choice
21:26to ditch her costume
21:27was particularly questionable.
21:29Midway through the song,
21:31the queen took off
21:31her green gown
21:32to reveal
21:32plain black undergarments.
21:34This move
21:35is a tough one
21:36to pull off
21:36and in the context
21:38of an already
21:38underwhelming lip sync
21:40it came off
21:41as desperate.
21:50With anticlimactic timing
21:52and her heels
21:52having already been tossed,
21:54Layla's outfit change
21:55clearly did not
21:56please the judges
21:57and it sadly
21:59sent her packing.
22:03Number 4.
22:04Eureka's
22:04If Lip Sync
22:05Win
22:11Reveals were not
22:12in short supply
22:13at the Drag Race
22:13Season 10 finale.
22:14In her lip sync
22:15against eventual winner
22:16Aquaria,
22:17Eureka executed
22:18a three-part outfit change
22:20that was as solid
22:21as they come.
22:26After she threw off
22:27her giant red wig,
22:29her feathered purple dress
22:30unfurled
22:30into a scarlet poncho.
22:35Finally at the song's breakdown,
22:37she unzipped
22:38into a bodysuit
22:39with mirror detailing
22:40that matched
22:41her silver boots.
22:42The crowd went wild
22:43for each reveal
22:44and her flawless execution
22:46helped secure her
22:47a place in the final
22:48three-way showdown.
22:54While Aquaria opted
22:55to unveil
22:56almost her entire outfit
22:57at the beginning
22:58of the number,
22:58Eureka exercised patience
23:00and it paid off.
23:02Number 3.
23:03Cynthia Lee Fontaine's
23:04Woman Up Lip Sync
23:05Fail
23:06Any drag race devotee
23:08knows that undressing
23:09on stage
23:10during a lip sync
23:11can be a hard sell.
23:20Although a sexy
23:21striptease can pay off,
23:23revealing one's
23:24undergarments
23:24can just as easily
23:25make for a sloppy
23:26performance.
23:27When Cynthia Lee Fontaine
23:29failed to shine
23:30in season 9's
23:31Kardashian the musical,
23:32she faced off
23:33against Farrah Mone
23:34and made this
23:35all-too-common error.
23:41Practically as soon
23:42as the song began,
23:44she removed her grey gown
23:45with grid paneling
23:46to show a mismatched
23:47set of bra and panties.
23:51With absolutely
23:52no lead-up to the reveal,
23:54it was not only
23:55unoriginal,
23:56but downright underwhelming.
23:58Number 3.
23:59Detox's
24:00Step It Up Lip Sync
24:01Win
24:01In the penultimate episode
24:03of All-Stars Season 2,
24:04Detox and Katya
24:06bested their competitors
24:07with their transformations
24:08of family members
24:09into drag siblings.
24:15Always one to impress
24:17on the runway,
24:18Detox showed
24:19that her lip sync
24:19for her legacy outfit
24:20had more than met the eye
24:22when she took the stage.
24:23She took off
24:24her long-sleeved jacket
24:25to reveal a simple
24:26corseted top
24:27until she turned around.
24:32With the bodice
24:33leading into a thong
24:34and her rear expose,
24:35the look queen
24:36had sex appeal
24:37in spades.
24:38The visual
24:39was even more striking
24:40with her racy black garment
24:42perfectly contrasting
24:43Katya's hilariously
24:44frumpy gown.
24:45When it comes to fashion,
24:46Detox never disappoints.
24:48And the same
24:49is true of reveals.
24:51So glad he didn't
24:52make me wear that.
24:54Number 2.
24:55Trinity the Tux
24:55You Spin Me Round
24:56Like a Record Lip Sync
24:58fail.
24:58Coming into All Stars,
25:00I came here to prove
25:01that I'm not one thing.
25:05Outfit reveals
25:05intended solely
25:06for shock value
25:07do not always land.
25:09That was unfortunately
25:11the case with this performance
25:12from All Stars 4,
25:13which saw Trinity
25:14inexplicably change
25:15from her fierce runway look
25:17molded out of pink plastic
25:18into senior drag.
25:20When she removed
25:21her leopard print bathrobe
25:22in the middle of the number,
25:23she unveiled a sagging
25:24bodysuit and diaper.
25:32The visual gag
25:33might have been funny
25:34in another context,
25:36but was totally unrelated
25:37to the song
25:38and felt forced
25:39as a consequence.
25:40Trinity is being weird,
25:42she's being gross,
25:43she's wearing this
25:43like old suit,
25:44long titties.
25:46I just don't understand
25:47the correlation
25:48of the number.
25:49I don't get it.
25:50While some of the funniest
25:51lip syncs bring out
25:51the humor in the music,
25:52in this case,
25:53the song played
25:54second fiddle
25:55to Trinity's
25:55bewildering comedy routine.
25:57There's no doubt
25:58that Trinity is
25:59a sickening performer,
26:00but this reveal
26:01got old,
26:02quickly.
26:03Number 2.
26:04Peppermint's
26:04Stronger Lip Sync
26:05win.
26:12At the season 9 finale,
26:14Trinity the Tuck
26:15and Peppermint
26:15competed in the first
26:16lip sync smackdown
26:18to get one step
26:19closer to the crown.
26:20At the number's
26:21midway point,
26:22their takes on
26:22Britney Spears'
26:23early aughts hit
26:24were fairly evenly matched.
26:28As the song
26:29inched to its climax
26:30and Peppermint
26:31reached behind her belt,
26:32an incoming reveal
26:33was obvious.
26:34But as she twirled
26:36on stage,
26:37not only did her skirt
26:38unfurl
26:39into a long dress,
26:40her long blue hair
26:41also gave way
26:42to a cropped
26:43ice blonde wig.
26:50The crowd went wild
26:52and for good reason.
26:53Even if it took
26:54a moment to prepare,
26:55the switch was
26:55perfectly timed
26:56and smoothly executed.
26:58The dramatic transformation
27:00undoubtedly helped
27:01secure Peppermint's
27:02place in the final lip sync.
27:03No. 1.
27:09Asia O'Hara's
27:10butterfly mishap
27:11fail.
27:12When it comes to reveals,
27:14sometimes simple
27:15is best.
27:16Unfortunately,
27:17Asia's attempt
27:18at a complex
27:18and risky one
27:19at the season 10 finale
27:21totally backfired.
27:28At a pivotal moment
27:29as she entered
27:30her first lip sync
27:31smackdown
27:31against Cameron Michaels,
27:33Asia ripped off
27:33structures from her
27:34wrists and chest,
27:35seemingly expecting
27:36the butterflies
27:37enclosed inside
27:38to fly away.
27:43However,
27:44the stunned insects
27:45infamously
27:46failed to take off
27:47and instead
27:48fell to the stage.
27:50Even though the trick
27:51wasn't working,
27:52the finalists
27:53continued to rip off
27:54the butterfly cages,
27:55but it sadly
27:56didn't get any better.
27:57With the audience
27:58looking on in horror
27:59as the disappointing
28:00scene unfolded,
28:01it was a downright
28:02cringeworthy moment.

28:38Sasha Velour's
28:39so emotional reveal.
28:40Win.
28:41We said no wig reveals
28:42and we meant it.
28:43This isn't just a wig reveal.
28:45The roses are the star here.
28:47Sasha Velour was almost defiant
28:48in never wearing a wig
28:49during her time
28:50on Drag Race.
28:51When she appears
28:51in a long red wig
28:52and matching gloves
28:53for her lip sync
28:54against Shea Coulee,
28:55it becomes clear
28:56she is in this
28:57to win it,
28:57even if she has to adopt
28:59a more traditional drag look.
29:12Hidden in each glove
29:14is a bunch of roses
29:15she showers on the stage
29:16at strategic points.
29:17The electrifying final reveal,
29:19the shower of roses
29:20hidden under her wig,
29:21is a transcendent statement.
29:30She's still Sasha
29:31and she just dominated.
29:33No lip sync reveal
29:34has even come close.
29:36What makes a good lip sync reveal?
29:38Tell us in the comments.
29:46you
