“Now that’s a twist”: Drag Race star Shea Couleé breaks silence on franchise return

Shea Couleé has outlined her requirements to return to the Drag Race franchise, and we think she might be onto something.

The queen, who memorably rose to fame on season nine of the series, was asked on X (formerly Twitter) whether she would do another run on Drag Race. After placing joint third/fourth, Shea memorably made a comeback on the fifth season of All Stars, which she won, and the seventh – the first-ever winners’ season.

Initially, Shea answered: “Drag Race is my favourite show and I love filming it. However, I just can’t imagine any context where my return would make sense.” This was before swiftly clarifying: “Wait. Winners Versus the World?”

The Chicago-based queen then went in for another update of her answer as she said: “WAIT. They do an All Winners All Stars, but this time it’s TEAMS, and we have to compete with the first girl who was sent home on the season we won. Now THAT’s a twist HENNY!”

Shea was then asked, in the comment section, whether there would be any specific winning queens she would like to compete against. Her response: “Aquaria, Violet, Bob, Symone and Envy Peru.”

If this season hypothetically came to fruition, match-ups we could expect are as follows: Bebe Zahara Benet and Pork Chop; Raja and Venus D-Lite, Jinkx Monsoon and Penny Tration; Violet Chachki and Tempest DuJour; Sasha Velour with Jaymes Mansfield; Symone and Kahmora Hall; Sasha Colby and Irene Dubois. Yeah, we’re on board!

Aquaria responded to the idea, commenting: “I’d be taaaaking it tbh!”

See how fans reacted to Shea’s pitch below.

WAIT !!! you’re onto something
Bebe x Porkchop
Venus x Raja
Penny x Jinkx
Kelly x Bianca
Tempest x Victoria
Naysha x Bob
Jaymes x Sasha
Vanjie x Aquaria
Dahlia x Jaida
Kahmora x Symone
Orion x Willow
Irene x Sasha
Mimi x Chad
Coco x Alaska
Thorgy x Trixie
Jasmine x Monet…

Words cannot express how much we actually need this. Like trust, it'd actually be so good.

I LOVE THAT. Or even if it was teams but not directly in the challenges and runways but when it came to lipsyncing it would be either or could do the lipsync but no swap our button

Or a new twist on the show where winners mentor baby drag queens from a new city each season, who compete for drag staples every week (new wigs, makeup, etc). Kinda like an actual “Drag U” for real queens. Would be relatively adorable to produce plus we get to see more of you!
