Eureka discusses her time on Canada vs the World, her trans and sobriety journey and the Drag Race winner she wanted to “send to the house”.
WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS SPECIAL THANKS TO JO SEAR AND JASMINE ALOMA AT THE BBC As one of a select few queens who have endured success as four-time Drag Race-rs, Eureka’s status as a franchise legend is indisputable.
In season nine, she happy-cried to Lady Gaga slash Ronnie as she reflected on Mother Mother’s LGBTQIA+ impact and made herstory, albeit not in a positive way, as the first queen to be eliminated as a result of an injury.
The self-described “Elephant Queen” made a triumphant return the following year, earning a spot in the final with two challenges under her belt and one of the series’ most iconic lip-sync showdowns with Tennessee bestie Kameron Michaels.
