This Is Why Some Fans Think Miss Vanjie Might Return for Drag Race’s Finale

Vanessa “Miss Vanjie” Mateo is the queen that just won’t quit! On Thursday, RuPaul sent fans of her namesake show RuPaul’s Drag Race, when she tweeted a photo intended to be promotional. “‘Give me my robe, put on my crown,’” she wrote. “I have immortal longings in me’-Shakespeare THE CROWNING Drag Race Tonight 9 pm.” And while that’s well enough, the image she shared with the post featured five contestants. Not four, five. Yvie Oddly, A’Keria C. Davenport, Brooke Lynn Hytes, and Silky Nutmeg Ganache. We all know Ru loves a little (or a lot of) stunts and gaggery so it wouldn’t be beyond the realm of comprehension. Sure, it would be a “for the first time in Drag Race herstory” but we have those like every episode at this point. The feat would tie her with Shangela for the most re-entries into the competition.
