YouTube Stars Turn Into Queens on RuPaul’s Drag Race

by Amy Walters

Social media icons, Tyler Oakley, Kingsley, Frankie Grande and Anthony Padilla (just to name a few) were all guests on this week’s episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race.

As the Youtube stars tried their best efforts to take on the looks of the final six, they showed how they were made for this competition, as the social media kings turned into queens, strutting their stuff down the walkway in true drag style.

For many, the show has helped people to express who they truly are and provides a community for those who have come out, or are still in the process of trying to understand themselves, and it has played a big part in the participating YouTubers’ lives, as Raymond Braun expressed how the show has helped him through dark times and provided inspiration.

For fans at home, having the six YouTubers on the show was a dream come true, and for some, a very specific dream.

It appears that the contestants on the show were more than grateful to have met the social media stars, and in turn they were as equally happy to have worked together on the show this week.

The feeling is ABSOLUTELY mutual. I love you… I adore you… I am so proud of the work we did together and I am in LOVE with Eufreka! THANK YOU FOR GIVING BIRTH TO HER! WE ARE FAMILY FOR LIFE!!! https://t.co/2QBkrYSsYd

It’s clear that there are some new queens on the block, and if they were contestants in the show, I think I speak for everyone when I say, “Shantay, you stay.”

Look at @tyleroakley coming THRU with that reveal.  Work sis! #DragRace pic.twitter.com/5lFKimJlPD
