IMHO "RuPaul's Drag Race" (1.08): Grand Finale

After weeks of tears, drama, catfighting, and a helluva lot of vaseline on the lenses, Logo's RuPaul's Drag Race has crowned the first season winner.

We're serving spoilers (including the crowning video) and our take on the ep below, and be sure to head over to the official website for the full episode!

We start with the three remaining queens, Nina, Bebe, and Rebecca, whose prize at having come this far is the chance to appear in Ru's latest music video. They get choreography instruction from Ryan Heffington, who looks like the lost gay Mario Brother (and those heels look fierce for stomping on Koopa Troopas.)

Next up is a rap that each of the dolls has to create and perform, under the guidance of out rapper Cazwell. Nina and her accent are absolutely hilarious, while Bebe does the best job, and Rebecca? Well, poor Rebecca is obviously the Chi-Chi Rodriguez of this group, and Cazwell is not happy with her performance.

We get to the shooting of the video, and hottie director Mike Ruiz is ecstatic with the performances of Nina and Bebe. And Rebecca? Well, let's just say that I was wrong, and Rebecca is not the Chi-Chi Rodriguez of this group. With her fumbling and stumbling, she's the Lucy Ricardo of this group.

The judges make their decisions, and Rebecca is dismissed right off the bat. Which means it comes down to Bebe and Nina, who have to lip-synch for their lives. And in the end, the winner is ... Camer-oooooon!

Well, I have to admit that I was rooting for Nina (I think she's the most creative, and that accent is huggable), but I don't have a problem with Bebe winning, either.

This gets an up arrow because I never expected a show called "Drag Race" to be so entertaining, and illuminating. Thankfully, Ru announced at the end of the show that there will be another season, so if you think that America's Next Top Model stampede was bad, prepare yourselves!

What did you think about the outcome, and the season as a whole? Oh, and don't even get me started on that reunion special!
