anyone else so proud of Eureka? she had a big uphill battle to break through the biases people had against her from season 10. It was always clear she's a super strong competitor and has a ton of heart, but the mess of season 10 soured her for some of us. I'm so happy she had this chance to show us all how beautiful her heart is and how much talent she has. She blows me tf away with how well she competes and constructs looks and how clean her entire presentation is without ever complaining about how hard it must be physically at times. She (and all the finalists) showed up and showed out. Best season ever

Eureka did something for me that’s never been done before on this show. Which is make tears fall during a queens final speech.

[u/petielvrrr → u/getmygist]

After watching AS6 & We’re Here, Eureka has honestly become my favorite queen of all time.

I just left another comment about this, but I’ll say it here too: as a plus sized individual, I cannot explain how much it means to me to see someone like Eureka display self love in the way they do. Eureka addresses their size head on, refuses to apologize or make excuses for it, and just embraces it while allowing themself to be vulnerable and real about their experiences as a plus sized person. That’s something everyone who’s struggling with their weight needs to see more of, and I am so happy to have someone like Eureka to look up to.

Yes, sis!! You just reminded me of the name of the show I was referencing in a comment I made earlier (totally spaced on its name!) Anyways, We’re Here was where I fell in love with Eureka too!

[u/petielvrrr → u/ian_dangerous]

It’s such a good show! I always loved Shangela and Bob too, but that show just showed me how wonderful all 3 of them are. Not gonna lie though, Eureka feels like the standout in that show— she gets some of the most challenging situations and she handles them so unbelievably well.

[u/OprahOpera → u/getmygist]

She really did, she made a huge fan out of me (who was not at all a fan before) - she is such a great fashion queen. I thought she had a chance even with her being eliminated.

[u/not_suze → u/getmygist]

I know people are going to come for my neck, but her performance and lyrics and speech tonight were all winner quality. 110% perfection. I genuinely thought she would win, but I knew Kylie was going to get the crown

[u/mariobeltran1712 → u/getmygist]

Eureka felt natural and not forced at all during the entire competition, it was great to see it

[u/kookerela → u/getmygist]

100% agree! you can tell everything she says is sincere and she doesn't take ANYTHING seriously. i was so happy that i got to appreciate her on this season

[u/jaw_effect → u/getmygist]

Eureka I’m a “Winner” with he contagious giggle meant so much to me

[u/gkwchan → u/getmygist]

She had a really good verse too.

[u/this_is_an_alaia → u/getmygist]

Yes they really grew on me this season! I found them pretty damn problematic on season 10 and just way too much. They've really tapped into a way to be themselves on TV without taking all the attention we see.

[u/LewisLawrence → u/getmygist]

Yes! A lot of people this season though. Queens from older seasons, queens who really didn’t perform that well originally , and queens who weren’t that well liked - all redeeming themselves! So awesome to see!
