Wait, I'm confused... The reunion tomorrow isn't the finale?

Yes, it's a classic reunion where the girls just discuss the season. The week after that is the finale :)

I don't understand the confusion on social media, there are so many people really confused about this. The episode tomorrow it's a reunion, it's been done in many other shows. They get together in a close set, talk about their experiences during the competition, re-play clips from the show, address issues we saw on TV (drama or conflicts between queens), etc. It's a reunion of all contestants, a get together to discuss the show. The finale is the big event, that was filmed live at The Alex theater, where the finalists compete one last time and Ru decides who wins the title/crown. I hope this helps.

I think the confusion is because they usually wait to talk about what happened in the season during the actual crowning episode. Since there will be a separate reunion then a finale it leaves people wondering what they are going to do to fill time at the actual crowning.... Or at least that's why I'm confused!

True, true. Like I mentioned in a comment above maybe one of the queens that MUST attend a viewing party they have when the finale airs (official crowning get together while watching the Finale) was not available tomorrow but the 23rd so they did something different. I also heard that Miss Congeniality will be announced at the reunion. Also, this finale is a true finale not just a crowning event, so the queens will have to fight for the crown and perform and be judged so maybe they didn't have the time for the whole reunion-type chat during the finale? I am loving this new format. MC announced during the reunion and a finale that is truly the final competition between the finalists to win it all. Love it!

Generally closed set reunions happen AFTER finales, no? They've always referred to the grand live event in front of an audience as the reunion, so it's slightly confusing to have a format change that's not explicitly explained. I mean, I get it now, but I feel like it hasn't been made super clear

That's a fair point. Yes, the reunions are usually after the finale and I have no clue as to why. My only speculation is this: The day they air the finale they have a little event where the finalists watch the finale together and find out who was chosen by RuPaul as the winner (since they usually film more than one crowning) so maybe one of the queens that MUST attend this viewing party (official crowning get together while watching the Finale) was no available tomorrow but the 23rd. That is the only thing I can think of but it is totally me speculating.

The dates are correct. The reunion will be the episode before the finale this year. What the finale will be is gonna be a suprise, unless you go digging for spoilers.
