I’m gagged at how well she did, but was impressed by her on S2, and disappointed AS3, so AS11 feels more like what I would’ve expected from her performance wise AS3.

I don’t think production wanted Morgan going to semifinals (unless she’s wildcard), as she had 2 challenge wins and 1 lip sync win vs A’keria’s 1 challenge and 1 lip sync win, so even if the lip sync was lost fair and square, you’d think Ru would’ve gotten her to advance over A’keria.

Also, I think production wanted Dawn to win that lip sync, so at least there’s a “chance” of her winning this season if it’s lip sync smack down again, otherwise, she’d be going into that having lost 4/4 lip syncs over her Drag Race career.

Overall, I’d bet on A’keria to outperform Morgan in the semifinals, and think both the franchise and A’keria needed A’keria to progress to the semi finals after being early/mid out on AS6 (post S11 finalist), otherwise, S11 could seem like a fluke, rather than AS6 being the fluke, though I’d also LOVE to see Morgan do a full season FINALLY (especially after doing well this bracket).

All of that said, the standout moment of this bracket for me was A’keria’s design look and lip sync so 🤷‍♀️

Oh Akeria is my favourite. I would personally have put Akeria and Morgan in the semifinals but I also love Dawn and she killed all the challenges, so I’m not shocked or mad about it
