Who should win Season 13 of RuPaul's Drag Race?

[@wildcard7449]

I DEFINITELY do feel that Rose is the deserved winner of Season 13. Her track record is immaculate, while being a mid-bloomer like you said, as the only bad weeks she had in the competition were of things outside of her control: the Lipsync Premiere (justice for Denali and Tamisha, who absolutely deserved more time) and Tina's makeup skills, albeit they have improved since off the show. Her win would also mirror Jaida's as well, since they were both the only ones out of the secondary groups they were initally in(counting out Sherry Pie of course), as the one queen to make it to the finale, and Jaida WON (which yes I'm open to seeing that video). But I will also be happy if either Symone or Gottmik get crowned as well, even if it is for representation/brownie points. I just want to appreciate the queens for what they bring to the table regardless of their identity, as they're all making impact in their own way.

GotMik’s storyline was essentially just her not expecting to do that well and discovering that she’s way better than she even thought. Her storyline literally had a happy ending. I think that is winner material too. Not every winner storyline has to be “started from the bottom”.

[@tf6026]

I agree I loved this storyline mik started like "I'm not just a makeup queen" as sort of posturing but then came to find it was actually true

[@AlvaroIbacacheS]

I was really surprised that production didn’t use Gott’s trans storyline as part of the show, that’s very mature I believe. Which is also why I think it’s harder to see who would win, if they used the trans storyline the no doubt Gott would be the winner, like no chances for the others queens

[@alejandrolopez9767]

Yeah! Especially on the last episode where she feels so confident on herself and doing an amazing job without second guessing herself.

[@louis4809]

Dont forget the constant talk about the lack of trans representation and trying to be a good example for their community which is a great storyline as potentially the first trans winner and highlighting issues in the community and Gottmik being a trailblazer for change ... personally a better storyline than the typical underdog like rose or the powerhouse held back by her inner saboteur like Symone

rose gives me strong Bianca del rio vibes. The mature and excellent performer who just is on her peak, thru the competition she has always been outside of the drama and waiting her time to just go full out with her talents as her weapons and not like queens tend to do using drama and mind games moving further. I personally think that Mik without being tokenized is not a viable holder of the crown, she is great dont get me wrong but her drag is still developing, and on the other hand Symone? The 4 challenges winner curse and i also feel the producers want to set up an all stars with her and Gigi i just hope she doesnt take the bait. I really wanna see Symone grow more and evolve and pull a bendelacreme on AS but who knows, she is also very very smart and visually gifted as an artist, she can pull a Sasha velour on that finale

[@mamacita1170]

exactly rosé won't represent anything new or essential and while I get that it's a competition, it's also about the next Drag Superstar. And there's a responsibility in that and a power in that much more impactful than the $100,000 or the makeup. Like Mik would open doors for trans kids especially effeminate trans men like himself who he never sees represented. Symone would open doors for black fashion queens who don't have to compromise their culture to look amazing and instead can embrace it to be even better. Rosé would open doors for.. white theatre gays? who most ru girls already are?

The favoritism was clearly visible throughout the season, it showed when Gottmik was saved multiple times from the bottom whenever a dancing challenge was presented, they would would edit their parts heavily to avoid showing her messing up choreography, they were also saved from the branding challenge. I don't even have to point out the favoritism towards Kandy, she's basically a producer at this point, the season is clearly set so that Gottmik could win and also bring DragRace some representation, it just doesn't seem as earned and fair when one person is highly favored. Personally my pics for the crown are Rosé and Symone, their journey seemed more earned and earnest without the help from their storylines and the producers.

I think Rosé should win. Not just because she was the best competitor in a competition but because of what's for her after rpdr. Symone and Gottmik, whether they win or not, will have modelling jobs, campaigns here and there and will have strong social media presence. However, I feel like Rosé won't have that because she's not as popular. Same thing happened with the last finale queens. Gigi and Crystal are big everywhere, while Jaida is overlooked. So I'm hoping they give Rosé her 100k and the crown and let the other two reign outside of the drag race world

that’s what i thought too. it was the same with Uk.
