Yvie Oddly’s verdict on Drag Race lip-sync smackdown episode

Drag Race champion Yvie Oddly has cast her verdict on season 16’s “Lip Sync LaLaPaRuza” episode – and she’s got a controversial opinion.

Yvie Oddly snatched the season eleven crown in 2019, before returning to the very first ‘All Winners’ edition of All Stars several years later.

Following in Mama Ru’s footsteps, Yvie is set to release her own memoir,  All About Yvie: Into the Oddity, on June 19 and sat down with Entertainment Weekly’s Quick Drag podcast to discuss the book – but the Queen of the Queerdos also found time to discuss the recently aired lip-sync smackdown episode of Drag Race‘s 16th season, which saw all eleven eliminated queens return to battle for $50k.

Though each queen put up a valiant fight, and Q was also there, it was eventually Morphine Love Dion and Megami who made top two, with the BBL diva herself snatching the prize – and Yvie has thoughts.

“Going in, I expected Mhi’ya Iman Le’Paige to be in the [LaLaPaRuza] finale, and I expected Morphine [Love Dion] to be there with her,” she began.

“Somehow, my dreams really came true — I’m such a f**king Megami stan. I was rooting for her to do better when she lip-synced against Mhi’ya going home,” Yvie continued, adding that she’d been a Megami fan “from the jump”.

Yvie’s most controversial opinion, however, was cast on the three way lip-sync between Plasma, Mhi’ya Iman Le’Paige and Xunami Muse; the trio took to the stage to perform Kelis’ legendary “Milkshake”, and while it was the Queen of Flips who made it through, many people – including Yvie – thought that Plasma snatched the win.

“The only other shocking thing for me is — and this is no hate, and definitely no love to either of the girls involved — but Plasma totally won her lip-sync, the three-way lip-sync. People can hate her little old granny wig and personality, but, b**ch, she nailed an eight-count and gave me entertainment I wasn’t expecting.”
