RuPaul's Drag Race Season 3, Episode 15 Recap: The Jig Is Up

"The jig is up" is perhaps my favorite phrase utilized by the ladyboys on RuPaul's Drag Race.  Last night, the last episode of Drag Race aired and, honestly, it has long been known among bloggers and other concerned individuals who the winner would be (wait for it...).  In this episode, the first challenge was for the queens to film scenes for RuPaul's new single "Champion" which involved the contestants getting up close and personal with members of the pit crew.  Their performances were somewhat lackluster, although Alexis Mateo managed to shine in her performance.  At the end of the episode, the queens strutted out on the runway in their fiercest outfits, really showing the judges and the audience exactly who they were.  Alexis Mateo is obviously the Puerto Rican bird-of-paradise and (IMHO) the frontrunner in the competition.  Manila Luzon is the Filipino superstar who manages to standout from the others with her image and humor.  Finally, Raja rocks the high-fashion androgyny image and no one does it quite like her (frankly, because she always looks like a man in heels).  Anyway, Raja won the competition (shocking).  Alexis was the first of the top three to go, which is sad because Alexis was sickening and was an incredible representative of Puerto Rico.  Manila was next to go and comforted herself by saying: "Well, I'm first runner-up, so if Raja dies of old age, I'll get the crown."  Great job, ladies.  Definitely an entertaining season!
