![]() Ru and Michelle get even more Good Will Hunting than usual in this episode, really trying to boil each queen’s issues down to some greater psychological problem. As someone who is learning he needs to be more open, I understand what it’s like to be so ready to help others that you don’t know how to help yourself. It leaves Art a bit shook, and I can empathize. In her interview, she talks proudly about taking care of others, but Michelle questions whether she’s taking proper care of herself. ![]() Kita’s is definitely the most glowing, including a very emotional chat with Ru and Michelle about wanting to find love, but Art arguably gets the second-best edit. Owing to each of the queens getting to lip sync for the crown at the end, each gets a pretty generous edit in this episode. Regardless of what was happening around her, she kept her head down, did the work and earned the crown. So a huge congrats to Down Under’s first-ever winner.

In his critiques, Rhys Nicholson points out that Kita has pulled off the impressive task of being both versatile and consistent. I definitely had other favourites in this competition-Art Simone pre-season, Anita Wig’lit early season and Elektra Shock later on-but watching her in this finale, I realized just how much she surprised me. (Not to mention her numerous other appropriative performances that weren’t addressed at all.) Season 10 winner Aquaria was very vocal about her disapproval of a potential Scarlet win, and later celebrated Kita taking the crown.īut too much talk of the circumstances surrounding Kita’s win threatens to overshadow the win itself in a way that would be unfair to her. ![]() Of particular concern was the possibility that Scarlet Adams might win, considering her stellar track record in the competition and the kid-gloves treatment of her past performances in blackface. ![]()
