And can we get a little commotion for this year's Miss Congenialty? As voted by her fellow queens, Crystal Envy is this season's winner, following in the footsteps of Sapphira Cristal and Xunami Muse, both of whom were on hand to crown their successor.
OK, now for the main competition: Following individual performances from all four finalists — Jewels Sparkles, Lexi Love, Onya Nurve and Sam Star — RuPaul announced that Onya and Jewels would be moving on to the final lip sync, ending Lexi and Sam's individual quests for the crown.
And what better song to face off to than 'Abracadabra'?! Lady Gaga's bewitching single provided the perfect level of drama and energy to this epic showdown, with both queens leaving it all on the floor.
But only one could be crowned America's Next Drag Superstar, and that queen is… Onya Nurve, who received her crown from last season's winner Nymphia Wind.
How are we feeling about Onya as the newest entry into the Drag Race Hall of Fame? Were you hoping another queen would snatch the crown, or is this exactly how you hoped it would turn out? Drop a comment with your thoughts on the Season 17 winner below.
