Spoiler alert: This post contains spoilers from the latest episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 10. Proceed with caution.
When Kameron and Miz Cracker landed in the bottom two on this week’s episode of Drag Race for failing to let their inner saboteur shine, everything felt normal. It was already clear that both queens would be lip syncing, and there wasn’t much suspense: Kameron was lip syncing for the third week in a row, while fan-favorite Cracker was in the bottom for the first time all season.
But life comes at you fast, and before we knew it, RuPaul was announcing that it was Cracker’s time to sashay away. To be honest, I had already walked away to grab a snack because the conclusion felt so obvious, and had to rewind to make sure I heard correctly when Ru announced that Kameron was safe.
Miz Cracker started the season as a serious frontrunner, never winning a challenge but consistently deserving to. Although she started to slip halfway through, she redeemed herself with her first win in the previous episode and it felt like it was just what she needed to land her proper place in the top four.
Kameron, on the other hand, consistently served gorgeous looks on the runway, but failed to showcase her personality enough to really stand out. Even when she got more screentime because there were only five queens left, the quiet queen didn’t really pop.
None of that matters anyway, of course, because it all comes down to the final lip sync for your life. But that’s what makes this whole thing even more puzzling. Although Kameron did a great job, Cracker did as well, showcasing her comedy while proving on her first lip sync of the season that she is a great performer who deserved her place on top.

But, alas, that’s not what the judges saw, and so the queen who half the Drag Race fandom wanted to win was given the boot.
Fans on social media, always willing to share their opinions, quickly took to Twitter to express their outrage over the stunt shows and shenanigans that went down this episode. Take a look at some of their tweets and then let us know if you agree. Did the wrong queen go home? Or was it truly Cracker’s time to sashay away?
What in the SHANGELA just happened to @miz_cracker. You are a STAR honey. #DragRace
