So the opportunity for growth and evolution might not necessarily have been there.

Was it because GiGi’s mom is supportive, and GiGi was very proud of that, leading to fans in the cringe sub snickering and calling her “mama’s boy”. See, if the Spoiler Subreddit’s rumors are to be believed, GiGi Goode and Sherry localMilf Pie were to be rivals originally, before the disqualification and re editing, and their feud was supposed to play a major part in the season. They gave her nicknames such as Jaida Essence Christ, Savior of Season 12.

My favorite fake tea was someone who posted that “for the first time since Willam” a girl was disqualified DURING production… ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ season 13 winner Symone and season 12 runner-up Gigi Goode interview each other about their friendship.

Gigi completed her Drag Race run with a deeper sense of self and confidence in her art, the support of her parents and a somethingship that defies defining. Naturally, she doesn’t feel the need to define the relationship. “I feel relationships nowadays are so much more than just a label. Everyone is conditioned to believe they have to be in a relationship and there has to be a label put on it. I have never believed in that,” she laments. “My mom has this cedar closet in our basement that is packed full of vintage dresses and hats and accessories and jewelry. At the time, my dad didn’t know about it, so it was almost like a little speakeasy,” Gigi recalls.

Jaida Essence Hall, who has been making strong strides for the crown in the second half of the season tells RuPaul that she has put many people in drag and honey you can tell!

I just find that having makeup as a tool, almost a window into all the different forms of me that I could become or want to become…for me, that almost just solidifies my fluidity even more, because it just means that I don’t have to stick to one thing. I can be a million different things at any given time.

Even when she didn’t win, she remained a strong contender, and is only the third ever contestant to rack up such stats, alongside Sharon Needles and Shea Coulée. She deserved every bit of the crown but the best queen won. Jaida Essence Hall sent the internet on a frenzy after host-mentor RuPaul Andre Charles crowned her the winner after she put up an electrifying performance on ‘Survivor’ by Destiny’s Child. But, there’s a section of fans who think Gigi was robbed of the crown and that it was her’s all along. It may seem like they are reacting impulsively but a good look at Gigi’s trajectory on the show will give you an idea why they may have been left disappointed over the defeat.
