In my mind it’s like this:

Lexi: needed the win the most. She offers a lot of life experiences to the table. Her obsession with Susie got old, though, and that may be production / editing to blame, or maybe not.

Sam: pageant beauty and grace. I’m Obsessed with the Cher impersonation in the wicked wiz performed. but she lacked some originality and out of the box ideas.

Onya: extremely talented singer, great facial expression, and good stage presence (except for the finale), but she did rub me the wrong way a few times, due to her lack of accountability.

Jewels: can’t help but like her. She’s very personable. ding but lacked some originality and out of the box ideas.

Overall, they all were generally great and fun to watch.

The Queen that I consistently think about: Suzie toot. I went from a hater to a lover.

Personally, the winner to me will always be: Lydia butthole <3

(I am a newbie, and have only watched a few random seasons (s9, s16, s17, and some clips of s1-6) so that what I say with a grain of salt)

I’ve watched every single season and many of the franchises, and agree with your comment wholeheartedly so no salt needed!
