In 2013, Alice Munro was the first-ever Canadian to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
This was a mistake.
Ill admit I underestimated Kendall for most of the season.
But she must have some charisma that really sparks when you see her live.
We cant all be Sondheim.
Kendall and Pri know each other, and when Kendall tells her she won the roast, Priyanka balks.
Not every season is blessed with a Jimbo.
Back in the werkroom, the girls write their lyrics.
Last time I did a singing challenge, it didnt go so well for me.
Not exactly top of the charts, says KG.
Not evenbottomof the charts, says Icesis, shady boots.
They record their verses with Brooke and lay down choreo with Hollywood Jade.
Icesis is worried about her grandmas knees, but she soon proves shes got nothing to worry about.
Shes got grandmas knees like Nancy Reagan.
Meanwhile, Pythia doesnt understand the way Hollywood Jade moves.
Hes a lizard person, I know it, she says, gliding seamlessly into the QAnon influencer space.
The song is a thumping electronic number, just a total assault on the senses, and it rules.
Icesis gives the single best verse since Biminis U.K. Hun?
rap, crawling downstage like a gay demon, cackling, Did hell just freeze over?
Because the new ice queen has arrived.
The north!Brrrrrrrap!
Her energy is ecstatic.
Her flow is aggressive.
The message is clear as ice: These are the last three standing, and theyre showing you why.
The main takeaway here is the higher the bpm, the better a finale song.
Kendalls look is, unfortunately, a boot for me.
Best of all, unsurprisingly, is Pythia, dressed as a living Grecian column.
Shes my favorite Greek character on TV this side of Stath Lets Flats.
They still manage to make it weepy, though.
All three queens talk about life struggles from addiction to self-harm to growing up in a religious family.
Icesis goes first and claps for herself when shes done, and honestly, thats the spirit.
Icesis is crowned the winner.
If her challenge wins didnt seal it, her final challenge verse did.
And if her challenge verse didnt, her lip-sync did.
They nailed the landing.
Let them keep the swords.
Stand-Oots
She said Athens is burning.
Kendall, re Pythias voguing.
Did I win again?
Priyanka emerging to give the crown over.
I did that shit, didnt I?
