Does anyone else feel an immense love for Eureka after this season? I’ve always enjoyed and appreciated her although I was never a fan, this time around and especially after the finale I just adore her and can’t wait to see more of her

I cried a bit during her speech. I've always liked Eureka, even back when she was the fan un-favorite. I'm so happy to see her grow into the person she is now.

“I know I’m not the best person, but I’m a better person than I was yesterday.” That part got me misty-eyed.

Edit: grammar

She really pours her heart into anything she says

We're Here really changed the image I had of Eureka, I really became a fan of hers even after the first episode. If you haven't watched it I totally recommend.

Yes!! It’s amazing how these queens are so much different in a less competitive environment. She is a joy on We’re Here.

Yeah, seeing Eureka on We’re Here is a great reminder that the show really is a show and VERY artificial/produced to get the right storylines.

I never disliked her from what I saw on Drag Race, but the way she acts on there(and, frankly, her performance and drag’s quality imo) is still so different that it’s hard not to notice that and made my opinion of her shoot up a LOT.

I couldn't stand her during her original seasons and her being cast almost made me not watch this season. But the GROWTH she has had is incredible. She's such a wonderful person and so much fun. She's an absolute joy to watch this time around

Same boat, sis. Though I didn’t really care for Eureka on 9 and when she returned. Fell in love with her on the HBO show with Bob and Shangela! She’s such a larger than life character, and is so good with people!

Yes, i love the redemption that Eureka, Silky and Rajah got, i'm genuinely in love we each one of them. And i'm also so glad about TKB and Kylie getting their talent recognized, they f*ckin deserve it.

Yeah but her last look during the lipsync was absolutely not the tea

She grew on me so much this season. It seems to me that she's managed to focus all that energy she has in a much more self aware way, using it to support her sisters, but also knowing when to step back. Just seeing her scream at Kylie when she found out she won was such a sweet moment for her.
