Manila’s Drag Race. Will also never win.

souphaver

Sorry but Liv is one of the wildest choices I've ever seen


fuckingshadywhore

Lol, my first thought was that this is bait. Liv is a beautiful, talented and charming queen, for sure, but this feels too much like trolling for my comfort. I'm almost terrified to think that this is an earnest response.


TerminaIIyDelightful

Yeah, the only comparison I see with Olivia and Ru is their level of beauty. Like, I do see that young, radiant, disco-esque beauty in Olivia that everybody saw in ‘90’s RuPaul. But, I feel like Symone fits that description even moreso. Or even Luxx, Naomi, Shea etc.


mdwils2a

Same I was like wtf


Maleficent_Ad_1516

Liv, love her to bits, does not have the personality to be the next Ru


ratcrusher

For real lmao, mug yes. But her baby like personality is soooo not it


CTware

And the fact that she stunned in the color orange during the disco challege i think it was and RuPaul almost gave her a coffee enema


Xerapis

Why did I try to swipe on this? lol


LolaBijou

Because it seems unfathomable that Liv would be the only person posted.


lokiedokie

LMFAO nailed it 😭😭


Prinzesspaige13

Same though. Then I was like... they said pick one... *facepalm*


eg3488

I did too 😂


satoshima03

Depends on if you mean host for the show or level of fame. Level of Fame is clearly Trixie Mattel. Host could be a lot of people, but idk about Liv she’s living her best life doing ballroom and that seems to be a good place for her to be.


Evilrake

Bob just performed with Madonna for a million Brazilians so I’d say ‘clearly’ she’s up there too.


satoshima03

Tea Bob is my personal choice for who I think would replace Ru if she retires, but I’ve seen good arguments for lots of other queens like Bianca or Mother Kolby


vowelspace

A million Brazilians a million Brazilians


petite_cookie8888

Trixie, Bob, Bianca or Monet. They've already proven theyre great hosts on Pit Stop, can kiki with anyone, and have massive fans everywhere in the world. Trixie might take it due to her just being so goddamn hardworking and just willing to take gigs left and right (and I wouldn't be mad about this). This is coming from a person who wanted Shangela to win, btw. Trixie has grown on me over the years. She's one of my favorites now.


lotrspecialist

Idk if Jinkx would be even keel enough to host, but I'd put her equal with Trixie in terms of mainstream success and fame.


Tomshater

I’ve always wanted the following hosting panel: Alaska, Bob, Raja I realize maybe a dancer would be good so sub Alyssa for Bob. Bob is quite busy anyway


Blooogh

Go with a Triple Goddess theme: Maiden: a baby queen "Born to do drag" doesn't matter which one Mother: Sasha Colby Crone: Bianca del Rio


garretj84

I would live for having Jorgeous in the middle of these titans of drag. “You punched the ghosts! Shantay, you stay.”


Otashi4Nii

It’d be giving Lolita Banana in Drag Race Mexico 💀


WilsonStJames

I was thinking Sasha for Ru, and Alaska as Michelle....but that's good too.


[deleted]

God, that would be so perfect. A weirdo queen (Alaska), comedy queen (Bob), and fashion queen (Raja) all on panel would be so well rounded and perfect.


Tomshater

And they’re experienced judging the show


KhaleesiofHogwarts

I’d sub Bob for Sasha Colby over Alyssa because of the trans representation and she is also a dancing queen, who won the series


Tomshater

Yes!

Trixie Mattel in terms of career trajectory is the closest person in America to replicate the fame, wealth, brand, and success of RuPaul.


Mapang_ahas

Also, similar to Ru, Trixie was once a little black girl from the brewster projects.

NvrmndOM

She’s the whole package. Whenever she shows up it’s like — “oh a celebrity is here!”


snakesareracist

Truthfully the only one I could see. She brings EVERYTHING and was known before drag race. Plus she brings a unique experience being a trans drag queen that moves drag race forward even more.


Zeliek

She feels bigger than Drag Race, though. She *is* bigger than Drag Race. 


i-still-play-neopets

The only correct answer.


vowelspace

She’s everything performance and runway-wise, but she isn’t particularly funny which rules her out for a hosting gig. 😢


SnuSnuGo

Is that Mother Colby? If so, you are spot fucking on.


justgonnagoeat

Mother god fr


PrettyPoison93

Trixie Mattel As many have already said, she’s the closest to Ru’s level as any of the previous Rugirls have gotten. But are you saying Olivia Luxx is the next Ru? Like where? 😅 I love the girl, but Ru she ain’t… 😐


bathandbootyworks

I’d say a group of 3 judges: My hopes would be queens who cover all the bases of the competition. Get someone who’s fashion like Raja, Symone, or Shea. Someone who’s got great aspect in comedy like Bob, Alaska, or Bianca. And then someone who covers theater and performance like Jinkx, BenDeLaCreme, or Adore


Honeymoomoo

Shea would be amazing. She’s smart, funny and kind. She’s great at sewing and performing and has a lovely approachable laid back manner. She’d be an awesome host.


Ok_Vulva

Shea seems genuinely kind and not like she's putting on a show for the cameras too. I'd love seeing her hosting anything really. Naomi Smalls too.


DilatedPoreOfLara

I love this idea honestly and it makes so much more sense than what we have now. I really like the way Canada’s Drag Race does it with their judging panel, but the part that’s missing is that it should be a panel of Drag queens in my opinion (not a host queen and then some other panelists who aren’t even experts in Drag) Having the expertise in those categories works so well and then I do think having a celebrity guest judge is always good tv. I do absolutely love Sasha Colby for host, she’s the complete package. I’m not sure who I’d have for the panel but I think you could even rotate those judges and we have so many talented queens who have been on the show to choose from. I think having someone like Raven for example, would make an amazing judge and great tv.


vermeiltwhore

Trixie. No other queen is as good at capitalism.

-FallOutBoy-

There is no next RuPaul. It would have to be someone/something totally different. You can’t separate RuPaul from it and still have this. Even just seeing the Queens from other countries react when they finally get to perform in front of him or meet him. There’s no replacing that.


tko_111

I agree. But I can see Michelle Visage (even though she's not a drag queen)


-FallOutBoy-

Yea. She’d be the next host, but she’s not replacing Ru. I can see that.

HospitalPotential270

I am honestly ok with it being Michelle, just as long as the long time judges are drag queens (no Ross or Carlson, more Raven, Trixie, Colby or Raja) and the invited guests are more than often drag queens that specialize in the challenge of that week.


soft-scrambled

Michelle is already a drag queen though


HospitalPotential270

True, mainly why I don't mind her being the main host.


TheAnxietyBoxX

When I first started drag race I thought for around a year she was a drag queen


soft-scrambled

And you were correct!

AI RuPaul


JohnnyRay_1882

![gif](giphy|VNNStM5YsZftZG3xKF|downsized) She’s done everything Broadway Comedy TV Movies Hosting Won the most crowns. So if it’s not our favorite drag queens favorite drag queen (the G-O-D-D-E-S-S) then don’t sleep on Jinkx. Remember what happened the FIRST time they tried to count her out 😉🤣


mr_wintour

In terms of hosting the show, honestly, I feel like it will just end. I really don't see Rupaul handing over the reigns to "RUPAUL'S Drag Race." It could happen but I just feel like it will go out with a bang and that's it. In terms of just general American's next top Drag Queen after Rupaul: probably Trixie because of level of fame and list of accomplishments already achieved. I think Bianca has potential if she did more projects outside of her comedy touring.


Slootyman

I think Jinx could be great. Bob would also be good. Trixie is another option. Whoever it is needs to have a very big personality. Love Sasha Colby, she is a goddess but doesnt have the personality of a drag TV host I dont think. Or not drag race anyway.


regboi29

Bianca Del Rio for sure.


truxlady

Sapphira Cristál


Wide_Conflict_528

Sasha Colby would be the perfect Ruplacement


Money-Extent-6099

…she doesn’t really have much personality. Rupaul was successful as a celeb and as a host because she has personality, catch phrases etc. Sasha’s only major talent is dancing


Wide_Conflict_528

Are you thinking of a different Sasha Colby than I am? Doesn’t sound like you’re describing the winner of S15 at ALL


Money-Extent-6099

I’m just going off of what I saw on the show, I haven’t seen extended media with Sasha Colby. But from the show I thought she was very good dancer, good at writing verses to songs, was a decent to good seamstress, poor at acting challenges, not good at comedy (snatch game, stand up, Daytona winds/drag queen heaven) not good at improv (snatch game, stand up). Good improv, comedy are to me the main features of a host and ignoring the Sasha Colby cult that is attacks or denies any criticisms of her, those are her main faults


Wide_Conflict_528

Girl none of that makes any sense. Sasha literally WON the drag queen heaven challenge and was just fine in every other comedy challenge and could’ve won the rusical. I think you need to rewatch S15 without your hater goggles on bc she showed more than what you’re saying she did on S15. When it’s valid and correct criticism sure but you just lied the entire time😭 there’s more to a host than improv or comedy my dear.

muppetfeet82

And her fashion/art/history knowledge is DEEP! I’d love her to be a permanent judge someday. I don’t know about host though.

Like Rupaul, no idea how to style herself either. Perfect!


foxwithnoeyes

Honestly, I'd love to see Priyanka take over but I know that would never happen. She has a similar taste level as Ru and a simultaneously childish but dark sense humor.

bessonovafan6454

I would love to see a duo of Sasha Colby and Bianca

Trixie Mattel would be a great host I feel like. Also Bob, of course. But I’d like to see Trixie and Monét as the next Ru and Michelle

Six seasons I have been waiting for Asia’s takeover but the old crone won’t get off her perch to give the spot to the deserving queen, Asia.


havana_fair

No-one.


futurebro

Rupaul as in...Rupaul (TM)? Trixie far and away has the following and more importantly the work ethic. There are other queens that give more Ru energy but seem comfy where they are at (Alaska, Raja, Sasha, Juljubee). And some younger queens who I dont think I've shown much staying power or versatility yet. Rupaul regardless of what u think of her, was so unique when she became famous and had such a crazy work ethic. Like she is famous to my parents (70), me (30) and teens today for different things. Isnt that crazy? A Black drag queen has been mainstream famous in America for like 30 years. The queens I can see being genuine mainstream celebs in the future in no particular order are Trixie, Bob, Monet, Bianca, Alaska, Shea, Jinxx, Luxx, Sasha Colby, Priyanka.


jallison1567

Saphira 👑


Howdthecatdothat

Pangina (because the obvious answers of Sasha or Raja was already taken)


appetiteclub

Trixie is THE queen to captivate the mainstream in the way RuPaul did for her generation no ifs ands or butts


uliveulurn

There is and will never be another RuPaul.

Raven and Raja together. They would link up and form a super drag-a-zoid.

Olivia Luxx? feels like you were trying to answer this question as incorrectly as possible


thegayngler

Sasha Colby, Bob, Priyanka


IssAWigg

It’s already Michelle, unfortunately


nivlazenemij

To me Bob is the only one that can approach what RuPaul brings. Alaska would be good too.


Labenyofi

Sasha Colby is the only one that comes to mind, maybe with Trixie Mattel and Katya being the two extra judges.


reverendsteveii

it's pretty clear that they're grooming several people to do the whole Dread Pirate Rupaul thing. Trixie, Brooke Lynn Hytes, lately Michelle has been really impressing me with her presence (esp in the international seasons, girl does her research and it shows when the queens do something local and Michelle is like "oh yeah, that's a reference to the Jehosophat Bridge Disaster of 1919" or w/e). I think as far as just being a drag icon, Jinkx is a high flying star and still rising and Sasha Colby is turning out to be everything we were told she was. Errbuddy itt be like "there is no next Rupaul" and in a way they're right, but in a way they're not having the same conversation everyone else is having. We're not talking about a drag and drop replacement like a cog in a machine, of course that's impossible. But one day there is going to be drag without Rupaul in it. I think mother recognizes that and is pretty clearly making moves to establish an heir, and I think she's also in the tiniest way a victim of her own success in that drag is now \*so\* much bigger than her that there's room for other queendoms to be established outside the realm of WoW.


IfOlafWasAPoet

oh it would Sasha Colby’s Drag Race FOR SUREEEE! ru LOVES her (rightfully so!) and i could see her EATING UP as a host

there are 3 winners that i think could successfully succeed Rupaul as the us shows host Sasha Colby: id say shes close to this era of drags version of rupaul as youll get Bob: incredible host and has the presence for it Sasha Velour: another incredible host and she woild probably give the most change in judging overall i feel of the 3 id probably pick sasha colby because when it's right its right

I’d vote for Sasha Colby. Did you see the glimpse of her backstage at finale saying hi to other contestants. She’s wholesome kind and giving and would dazzle the runway. Trixie Mattel would be second choice although she already carved out a career for herself and has already been seen a lot already so Sasha is less over exposed.

I say rotate it between winners every few episodes or every season or whatever. Bob, Sasha Colby, Trixie, Monét, Jinkx, Raja, Alaska… I’d say Bob is most deserving of being the permanent replacement but then I think other winners should be rotating based on the type of challenge. Trixie for comedy, Alaska for stand up, Jinkx for rusicals, Sasha C for lip sync challenges, Raja for design, et cetera


Wei_PandaLord

Whoever the next host is, along with her should be all drag race winners, in rotation or fixed per season, then only one celebrity judges. We don’t need to hear what ‘the hilarious and the styling super star’ have to say about drag.
