But, most importantly, I just wanted to go in and have fun because I just wanted to be there so much. I came in, kind of like Sasha Belle when she was like ‘I’ve done my research and blah blah blah.’ That’s kind of how I felt. We’re gladĬoming into the season, having been watching Drag Race for so long, what was your impression and what were you hoping to do on the show? Here, we talk to Soju, who came into the show with an avid fan base and international presence, about what she hoped to do on the show, being a YouTube queen, and going viral for having a cyst on her taint. And though Kahanna is not yet proven to be the lip sync assassin that her drag mother Coco Montrese is, she did what needed to be done and backflipped her way back into the game. Soju’s waist-less gown, inspired by a traditional Korean garment, didn't win her much favor with the judges and didn’t help her much in the performance either. Davenport and Miss Vanjie also made pretty strong impressions.įor the lipsync, Soju and Kahanna Montrese wound up in the bottom. But she’s quite familiar with competing as a former Miss Continental. Brooke Lynn Hytes, “Queen of the North” as she’s been called since she’s from Canada, came off with a polished look that not many others had. That’s not counting the fact that the mini-challenge, which featured cameos by alumnae for a photoshoot, literally doubled the cast.įor the runway, queens had to create their looks based off of the materials from past queens (Ru wants to make it clear that there’s a Drag Race herstory OK!) and the results were varied. Fifteen contestants, and more than a few outsized personalities (hi Vanessa Vanjie Matteo, hello Silky Nutmeg Ganashe), made for what felt like a slightly long slog.

#Soju drag queen series
RuPaul’s Drag Race is back! And while yes, we could sit here and complain that we have moved beyond the point of oversaturation, so much so that this is unsustainable and will cause the series to truly be a trend, instead let’s just naively believe all is right and get into this latest season of queens.
