02 Dec 2024 — 4 min read

Drag Race Spain - easily one of the best variations of the global franchise - has been smashing it with Season 4, and we've made it to the grand finale.

The final episode of a series follows a fairly familiar format. There's a lot of talking and reminiscing and crying to get through.

However, this is a two-part grand finale, with this episode taking us from a Final Four down to a Top Three.

The challenge

The meat of the episode was the solo performances of the Top 4.

In a new twist, the judges scored the solo performances - Eurovision style - awarding a 6, 8, 10, or 12 points to each performance. The eliminated queens also got to cast an audience vote.

At the end of the solo round, the queen with the lowest points was eliminated, leaving a Top 3 for a final lip-sync batter.

I really like this format! It brings some drama into the finale.

The queens got to prepare a solo lip-sync performance to any song of their choosing.

After the voting was counted, it was La Nina who scored the least votes and was eliminated from the competition.

The lip-sync

We then got a 3-way lip-sync. The track was Diva by Monica Naranjo.

Did that decide the winner? Maybe.

We've got a live final extravaganza still to come where the winner of the season will be crowned!

Episode 10, done!

Cast

Still in the running

Chloe Vittu: She's got a lot of raw potential and the judges are rewarding that.
Le Cocó: Consistently high placements - she could easily win this.
Vampirashian: It's been a very clean run for Vampi. She doesn't have the biggest personality but she's a very accomplished drag queen and has emerged as a fan-favourite.

Eliminated queens

La Niña Delantro: She made a positive impression with the judges from the get-go and has grown throughout the competition. It's been a great season for La Nina, making it all the way to Top 4.
Mariana Stars: My early pick to win and she's been very strong throughout the competition. Her elimination on the Make-over Challenge was a bit of a shock - beaten in the lip-sync by Coco - but she's a lock for All Stars.
Megui Yeillow: From Pit Crew to drag queen - this could have been a car-crash but she's been consistently strong. I underestimated Megui.
Angelita La Perversa: It's been a roller-coaster of a season for Angelita - highs and lows. She didn't seem to be very likeable but she gave us good TV.
Miss Khristo: Winning the first week is the way you want to start Season 4. She consistently smashed the runways but couldn't translate that excellence into every challenge.
Kelly Passa: A strong performance in the acting challenge but it was the Girl Group challenge that tripped her up.
Dita Dubois: Giving us a different perspective on drag from the Canary Islands, Dita never really got motoring in this competition.
Porca Theclubkid: A shame to lose Porca so early, she seems like she's an entertaining performer and an engaging character.
Shani LaSanta: Disappointed that Shani has left the competition - she seems a really engaging queen with plenty to offer, but her looks let her down in this first episode, making her the Pork Chop of the season.
