Drag Race: Eureka reveals if she’ll return to the franchise
Drag Race legend Eureka has addressed her future with thefranchise. Although the self-described “Elephant Queen” wrote on X/Twitter that she’s “done competing” and “ready to live”, she recently told GAY TIMES that there’s one series that could force her out of retirement. “If I’m ready, I think I would do Global [All Stars] because I appreciate all the franchises,” she revealed. “But, I just wanna make sure I’m in a place where I’m financially secure and safe, and I’m emotionally in a place where I won’t go in feeling like I have more of a story to tell. “Going into Canada vs the World, I really did have this idea of, ‘I’m excited to do this because / I wanna talk about this.’ It would be nice to go into a season without that pressure, maybe.” Eureka continued to share that her dream would be to appear on a “plus-size All Stars” with “all the legends to celebrate the big girls”. “Normally there’s one a season, so what if we had ten or eleven?
It would be drama. It would be cunty,” she said. “Also, it could be “THE BIGGEST COMPETITION YET”. The PR would be great.” Eureka memorably made her Drag Race debut in season nine, where she competed against drag heavyweights such as Shea Couleé, Sasha Velour, Trinity the Tuck, Peppermint and Alexis Michelle.
Eureka was forced to withdraw from the competition after injuring her knee in episode two’s cheerleading battle, which led to RuPaul extending an invitation for season 10.
During the season, which was won by Aquaria, Eureka won two consecutive maxi-challenges, made herstory with two double shantays and sashayed away as a runner-up.
