- No Elimination in the penultimate show leaves Drag Race with a Final Five to Fight out the Finale.
- Willow Pill is the 7/10 Odds on Favourite with Bookmakers
- Betting sites have London's Lady Camden as the 2/1 favourite for minor upset
- Favourite Willow Pill has seen an increase of Instagram followers of 747%
For anyone who has been following this season of RuPaul's Drag race, the fact that there was no elimination, would have come as little surprise as the season has been dragged out to epic proportions, and when we saw it would be Willow Pill vs Angeria in the final Lyp-Sync, there was little doubt that there would be no one sent packing once again.
With two of Instagram's most loved queens battling it out for a place in the finale, production values were well exposed, and the elimination betting market was once again, exposed as a pointless place to wager with betting sites.
In any case, we are down the final five contestants, looking to be crowned the queen of the season by RuPaul and Willow Pill, who was never going to be sent home heads the market as the odds on favourite at around 7/10 with betting sites.
Lady Camden, originally from Lond, but well ensconced in the US for many a year looks to be the only realistic challenger, although as we have found throughout this season of the show, we should take noting for granted
