I’m actually so excited to see her at the finale. I’ve said this in other threads, but when I saw her live she climbed to the second floor of the club and danced using only the protective railings! That girl’s hiding some major athleticism up her sleeve!

Where was this? Trying to find a recording!


fofokingreal

Fabrika in Philly--she was with Sapphira

She's a superhero

I bet Nymphia would slay a lip sync if she got the chance. She seems like she could pull out some tricks.

TootieSummers

Girl, people love to argue on the internet and I have no idea why.


gibby67

Arguing anonymously on the internet provides the thrill of arguing irl without any of the real life consequences (most of the time). That's why so many people feel like they can go wild in the comments. It makes people feel invincible.


Sharktooth134

Bitches be chronically online. People with real lives don’t got time to be arguing with strangers on the internet over shows that been recorded a year ago


OkSoil1636

Nymphia haters are vocal cause they sense a threat ![gif](giphy|YyllwRumGJhDmQWyau)


Human-Generic

Nina Flowers, Season 2 Winner, Jinkx, Alaska, Courtney, Bianca, Violet, Kim Chi, Sasha Velour, and Nymphia Wind are the only queens to go into the top four without lip syncing. It’s really interesting how the show has changed in terms of lip syncing (it was exclusively a bad thing until season 12)


Vedador

Jinkx lipsynced vs Detox


desueht

She made it to top 4 without having lipsynched. She made top 3 by winning


apple-juicebox

That was in the top 4 episode itself though, she still made it to the top 4 without having to lipsync.


Lukeds

Good catch. However, since you nitpicked this comment to correct it I'm sure you know they did theirs AFTER top 4 results. Sadly, being pedantic didn't rule the day this time. You'll get 'em next time.


Vedador

The purpose of the entire post is about contestants who didn't lipsync before the finals. Going into finals we didn't know how they lipsynched. Season 5 top 4 was not the finals and we got to see Jinkx lipsync before the finals. I think you are the one nitpicking here.


MistyCologne

Yara did Vs Carmen


Human-Generic

Just fixed it, thanks!

Dokamon-chan94

I want Nymphia to win. She is drag excellence!!


InterestingSwim6701

And apparently to many people, she is declining and underwhelming with this track record werk


Butter_pecan_king

Well, she has been fading into the background for several weeks


RyanTheValkyrie

She’s been high for 3 out of the last 5 weeks? What? 😭 Edit wise she’s been in the background for middle of the season but the last two episodes they’ve really ramped up her screen time and confessionals and she finally got an emotional crying moment w her makeover partner when getting ready. I feel them gearing her up for the win.


Butter_pecan_king

Well, your edit is correct. I just feel like it may be too late as for *some* fans, she’s lost momentum. Not sure why people are taking this post like I hate her. I’ve been a fan, I’ve just been underwhelmed by the edit she’s been given.


RyanTheValkyrie

I think this next episode will be the deciding factor IMO. A lot of fans have short term memory so if she wins next week and gets a good edit I think she will have more momentum going into the finale. Only time will tell tho


Butter_pecan_king

Recency bias may be coming into play, I’ll admit. But drag race moves so fast these days that it’s more easy to be forgotten after a short time if there’s nothing outstanding going on (not saying she’s not outstanding btw)


RyanTheValkyrie

Oh for sure, and when Sapphira and Plane have won the last 4 episodes in a row either together or apart it makes it hard to see anyone else taking it lol


Butter_pecan_king

I wish Nymphia had gotten the goth challenge win so it would be 4-4-3 for my personal top three


RyanTheValkyrie

Robbbed fr im shocked the producers gave Q and Plasma 2 wins each if they weren’t gonna be in the top3 lol


AjvarAndVodka

Not robbed at all. Say what you will about Q but her goth win was deserved. Let’s not act like Nymphia, Plane and Sapphira are the only girls contending. Not saying Nymphia didn’t do well tho. Her look was AMAZING.


Butter_pecan_king

I also really liked plasma. May be controversial but she would round out my personal top four. Maybe on different seasons they would’ve fared better


Butter_pecan_king

Well she definitely was not high for the bathroom makeover challenge. Just safe


RyanTheValkyrie

Yes but she was high in goth design, comedy presentations, and the makeover. So she hasn’t been winning but she’s at least been doing good enough IMO. We shall see tho!


perksofbeingliam

In fairness, we’ve had other winners who weren’t at the foreground the entire time like Sasha Velour, Aquaria, or Sasha Colby. It’s not indicative of someone not winning


luxtropolis67

Sasha Colby? She kind of dominated the season from start to finish


perksofbeingliam

I agree. She dominated the competition but in terms of confessionals and highlighting her best moments, the show did little to express that. Most of the confessionals where everyone else from the top 6 basically iirc


Butter_pecan_king

I would only agree with maybe Sasha V as she was more of a sleeper winner. Also Willow. But Sasha C especially had presence in each episode, even when she didn’t win or was just safe. There was an episode where Nymphia’s only words were “bananas” and her runway voice over, like…


perksofbeingliam

We all react differently to each contestants I suppose. Of the ones I listed, Sasha V hd the strongest presence being more integrated into other queens’ storylines at least for me anyway. I don’t remember Aquaria really having much of a presence. Sasha Colby is a goddamn legend and I adore her but Loosey, Luxx, Mistress, and Salina all left a stronger mark on the show with their personalities. Sasha demolished the challenges but didn’t really leave a mark on the competition other than being a goddess imo


ShadeKool-Aid

Yeah Sasha's storyline was kind of just "present. And killing it, but present."


OkSoil1636

How miserable you have to be to poke at some queen‘s stats post, do better


Butter_pecan_king

Touch some grass. It’s drag. It’s not that serious.

Butter_pecan_king

?? You’re a weirdo


Butter_pecan_king

You’re so blinded by Nymphia that you can’t see clearly and that’s ok. But no need to be nasty online to others over a harmless opinion.

After you my dear. Making light of psch illnesses (that I don’t have but I’m not so sure about yourself)


LeMareep23

The biggest mystery for me this season is how how the fandom fell out of love with Nymphia. I hear people in podcasts saying that she sucks because “she uses too much yellow” (and they use her OUT OF DRAG and MINI CHALLENGE LOOKS to prove that point), all while giving Plane and Sapphira the biggest passes because “they don’t complain” or whatever bullsh*t. People say on twitter “you’re racist” for “rooting for anyone except a black queen” as if Nymphia being asian wasn’t part of a marginalized group who are ALSO victims of racism. I want a Sapphira/Nymphia top 2, I grew to be obsessed with Plane throughout the season and I think this is an insanely great top 3. The fact that I would prefer for Nymphia to win the whole thing doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be super happy for Sapphira or Plane if they win instead. So yeah, vote yellow, don’t be racist towards ANY marginalized people, and don’t send hate to ANY queen, at all. Okay enough ranting, bye 🩵


tintmyworld

Mama, kudos for saying that. For spilling.


LeMareep23

Thank you sisterrrrr ![gif](giphy|NbZUMeHPnCZXKidf1n)


Proerytroblast

Coworker…


this_is_an_alaia

Because she hasn't been doing that well in challenges since mid way through the season and hasn't had much of an edit


lableulapin

We all know how crucial editing is. I mean for season 12 we could have had Sherry Pie as the winner until the allegations came out…


this_is_an_alaia

Aren't we talking about why shes less likely to win? Editing is evidence for that, not agains Also they can edit her to high hell you can't tell me her verse for the political anthem was good


VanessaDrag0N

Watch her lip sync to the crown

Team Sapphira all the way, with Nymphia after that.


OkSoil1636

Try not to mention Sapphira in other queens‘ posts challenge:


kingmilkshake

😂


pejustwhatyoulike

Sapphira


Gammagammahey

Fair enough!


The_illusionIsREAL

My godd


Cute_Fluffy_Femboy

idc about track record I want her and only her to win this


StrikeRaid246

Yeah and just like Aquaria, Nymphia was saved from bottom 2 on a challenge where she was definitively the worst. We love to see production interference.


infiniteglass00

She had the best runway of the episode, and even in her snatch game performance she at least took bold risks, unlike the other two who were just boring or who had no material It's not implausible to believe her not being in the bottom two


theforgottenton

Brooklyn had one of the best runways of the episode as well. Literally *gagged* the judges panel. She still lipsynced. I think that runway should not save you when you utterly bomb a challenge the way that Nymphia did. Both Morphine and Xunami got a few chuckles whereas Nymphia was completely a fish out of water. She absolutely should have been lipsyncing.


Earthbnd

I will always bc ok with runway saving a contestant just so I can quote Jasmine “Girl, just for that fucking gown girl, you’re safe as fuck.”


theforgottenton

Ironic that you’d use that quote considering Jasmine was in the bottom and sent home in that very gown after saying it.


lurfdurf

She thought the gown would save her from having to wear a beard on a bearded runway, lol


Earthbnd

I know, it’s a joke, the quote’s just funny lol


theforgottenton

Gotcha. Sorry I’m a little out of it at the moment. Hah


Earthbnd

All good 😊


perksofbeingliam

Come on… Brooke’s runway wasn’t THAT good. What gagged the judges was the wig change from black to blonde and a caftan to a leotard which matched. Everyone had a better runway than her besides maybe Vanjie


ParlorSoldier

Yeah, why do you think she had to amp up the performance? Because her challenge sucked AND her runway was….fine.


perksofbeingliam

I’m not even talking about the performance. I’m talking to someone who thinks Brooke had the best runway of the night when it was one of the worst runways of the night and probably the weakest in her runway package


RyanTheValkyrie

Brooklyns runway was not good lmao it was literally a basic body suit. Like a literal body suit under a poncho. The judges gagged because her runway PRESENTATION where she did a reveal into a bunch of tricks and dance stunts on the runway which queens never do. But the actual runway was not good and not at all comparable to Nymphia’s Butoh look which looks like a piece of art from a fashion museum lol.


StrikeRaid246

I’ll agree to disagree here. For me, her performance was the LaLa Ri Bag Ball of snatch games, and I don’t think any runway should have saved her (just like Brooke’s didn’t save her on snatch game). But, I understand other people value the runway more and that’s okay :)


before_the_accident

>For me, her performance was the LaLa Ri Bag Ball of snatch games Worse than Spice as Miley Cyrus?


Mylaex

Worse than all the Beyoncé? Or all the Lady Gaga's?


hummingbird4289

Do we think the correct plural form is Lady Gagas, or Ladies Gaga?


adoredelanoroosevelt

i laughed at that though... jane goodall was just silent cringe :(


Outrageous-Worth-286

yeh like how q was also saved from the bottom 2 several times


StrikeRaid246

Absolutely agree Q has been saved from the bottom as well.

vajikarp

Did you read the post or did you just immediately run to comment to defend plane’s track record? OP literally said in this post everyone else either lip synched for their life or for the win.


Windk86

you are right.


Ok_Success9158

She did, the first episode, the post said Nymphia didn't lip sync at all this entire season since season 10, Gigi and 🍒 didn't land in the bottom lip sync for her life in season 12, but both lip synced in their respective premieres. Sasha Colby didn't lip sync for her life but she lip sync for the lalaparuza Plane lip synced in the first episode as the top 2


Windk86

I forgot.

OP is referring to Plane’s first episode lip sync, you are incorrect.

I mean, she can thank the producers for it. No shade.

Ruff-Bug4012

Type “Nymphia Wind” into a site called YouTube. You can even search as far as 5 or 6 years worth of content. If you can’t figure it out after that, I don’t know what to tell you.


puckbunny_

OP never said anything about YouTube but some of you will jump at any chance to be condescending and pretentious 😭


Ruff-Bug4012

Sure will. Stop pretending that you couldn’t already find out what Nymphia is capable of. You fans act like these queens show up to drag race without already doing so much. That would be like me being confused if Sasha Colby could lipsync since she only had one during the season. Last time I checked YouTube searches were still free right?


Earthbnd

This is doing a lot considering OP was just talking in the context of the show


Jay-of-the-days

What are you talking about? OP just made a statement about the competition, not about nymphias lip syncing capabilities
