After a season filled with gag-worthy challenges, ferocious runway looks, and cutthroat competitors, Bob The Drag Queen has been crowned the winner of Logo’s “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 8. Sashaying away with the title of America's Next Drag Superstar and a $100,000 prize, Bob The Drag Queen beat 11 of the nation's fiercest queens including Miss Congeniality Winner, Cynthia Lee Fontaine. Last season's winner, Violet Chachki, was on hand to crown her successor in front of a capacity crowd at LA’s Orpheum Theatre.
"This season was the most competitive ever,” said RuPaul. “And still, all things considered, America's Next Drag Superstar could only be Bob the Drag Queen. Her charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent is gigantic, and the world of entertainment has been blessed with a bright new star! Kim Chi and Naomi Smalls are so much more than runner-ups. They are gorgeous, talented queens who have captured the hearts and imaginations of the world and are destined for greatness."
“Winning is a dream come true, and a great opportunity,” said Bob The Drag Queen. “With great drag comes great responsibility and I'm excited to get responsible.”
After tonight’s coronation, Bob The Drag Queen appeared in a first of its kind ad for AXE, which spotlights how individuality and personal style are what really make a guy attractive.
