It is definitely safe to say, that second chances are rare. For moments are fleeting in this life and if we don’t do everything by the book in some situations, or don’t give it our all or go for it in the first place… a grand opportunity will pass us by. The kind that can either haunt us forever or leave us hoping for a do-over, or it can be our finest hour. Wherein we learn a great deal from that experience and grow and learn how to handle a similar situation if it ever arises again, when we know it likely will not. But… if and when that second chance does arise… it unlocks something special within us and pushes us like never before to grab hold of what we thought we lost.
​
If anything, the second chance and what it means to us and how it drives us is top of mind today, simply because that was put on full display in the season finale of The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Titans. For introspection was everywhere to be found in ‘Grand Finale’, since the final three monsters came to realize… they had done something incredible. In that, they had grown, and they had learned so much from their prior time on Dragula, and well… they fully understood that this was a grand second chance to show the Boulet Brothers their absolute best and prove something to themselves along the way, all in the name of finally being crowned the winner of this prestigious series. But what was truly amazing is that the deep reflection the final three went through, extended well beyond the opening moments of this finale.

For the first leg of their final challenge, wherein Veronica, HoSo, and Koco sat in on the Boulet Brothers’ Podcast, Children of the Night, revealed that Drac and Swan… saw this show as a milestone moment. As though this was the culmination of years of work, and it would signal the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one. Which is a fascinating rumination, one that leaves all of us curious as to what this incredible duo have planned for the series going forward. But alas, we’ll get back to that later. For the competition was still alive and well, and that brings us to the powerful interview with this trio the Boulet Brothers conducted. The kind that was supremely revealing and intimate and really helped us to understand what this show and this second chance meant to all of them. 

Which in turn, led to the floor show. Where each of them would construct a creature worthy of the four tenants of Dragula, alongside preparing a lip-sync routine to the Boulet Brothers’ new song, ‘Ascension’, and that incredible work… led to the absolute best floor show of the season. One where Koco Caine transformed into a giant and horrifying Black Widow that feasted upon flesh in between bouncing about the stage. Where HoSo transformed before our eyes into an insect queen courtesy of a pair of unique costumes, and Victoria… well she opted to use her performance to reflect upon her journey, and the growth it provided her with. Once again putting our favorite judges in the toughest place imaginable. Since they had two seasons of work and growth to ponder upon. 

But in the end, someone must be crowned, and the winner of this season… just so happened to be Victoria Elizabeth Black. Who will now enjoy all the comforts and wonder that comes with being the true Titan of Dragula and her title is well deserved. Since she impressed all of us often this year with amazing looks that embodied the wonder of drag and Dragula alike, and well… now that a winner has been chosen… we are left in a unique place when it comes to this series. For there was at least… one hint from the Boulet Brothers in this finale as to what was to come. In that, they appear to be ready to shake things up regarding the competition and truly, that is going to make the wait for next season all the more painful. Since we are now dying to know what the next iteration of this iconic and revolutionary show is going to look like. Until next time.
