Season 9 winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Sasha Velour, recently expressed interest in competing in the upcoming All Stars season. During an interview with ET Canada, while promoting her new book, “The Big Reveal: An Illustrated Manifesto of Drag,” Velour shared her thoughts on the possibility of returning to the hit reality competition series.
A Change of Heart for the Season 9 Winner
Originally, Velour wasn’t keen on the idea of competing again, fearing potential elimination. However, with the new “no eliminations” rule introduced in the All Winners season, she had a change of heart. “I donβt want to go back and be eliminated. I think the chance to show what we can do on TVβ¦ Weβve all got to take advantage of that,” Velour said during the interview.
Sasha Colby: The Ideal Competitor
When asked about her ideal competitor, the gender fluid drag artist named Sasha Colby, winner of Drag Race season 14, as her top choice. The two have a close relationship, with Velour referring to Colby as her “drag sister.” They have performed together in Velour’s drag revue, NightGowns, since 2018, and Colby also appeared in Velour’s Quibi TV show of the same name.
A Drama-Free Drag Sisterhood
Although the two drag queens are known for their laid-back personalities, Velour assured fans that they would “bring the drama on the stage” if they were to compete together in the next All Winners season. With a strong bond between them, viewers can expect the duo to deliver thrilling performances without any backstage rivalry.
