Here’s who ‘Drag Race’ fans think RuPaul wants to take over the show—and why they’re so certain
RuPaul’s Drag Race *original recipe* is a veritable institution, and Ru’s been there every step of the way across 15 seasons—and that’s to say nothing of All Stars, numerous spin-offs, and various international iterations she’s been involved in.Yes, the 62-year old icon and drag queen—excuse us, Queen Of Drag—has been at it for a minute, and though she looks as dazzling as ever, we all know she can’t possibly keep hosting forever, right?Naturally, that’s led many fans to theorize what Drag Race might look like if, one day, Ru decides to put those wigs on a shelf and retire for good.
Would there even be a show? And, if so, who could possibly fill her heels?Well, because a certain subsect of the fandom is extremely Reddit-literate and already knows the outcome of the current season up to the live finale (in addition to some future seasons), they’ve moved on to cracking some bigger theories—namely, who does Ru want to have take over the mantle of Drag Race?A post shared by Sasha Colby (@sashacolby)And their current guess?
Why it’s none other than Sasha Colby, the trans icon who won the famed Miss Continental drag pageant in 2012 and is the current frontrunner of Season 15 (because, sorry Loosey LaDuca, we’re not counting Mini Challenge wins here.)Here, allow TikToker @allidoisdryheave to break down the her-storic nature of Sasha’s hypothetical win:At the start of their video, the TikToker acknowledges the fact that, yes, Sasha is absolutely destroying the competition thus far.
