drag queen Nymphia Wind on the shoulders of two dancers in the Drag Race Season 16 finale
The Big Picture Nymphia Wind made herstory as the first RuPaul's Drag Race contestant of East Asian descent to win the coveted title of America's Next Drag Superstar. The Banana Queen impressed fans and judges weekly with her creativity and talent, finally beating all 14 queens of the season to secure the cash prize, scepter, and crown. According to a new report by Deadline, the episode was historic in more ways than one, as it smashed ratings for the franchise.
'RuPaul's Drag Race' Season 16 Was Historic In More Ways Than One The season began with 14 drag queens competing for the crown and the prize money, and they participated in various challenges. Week after week, queens who landed at the bottom were eliminated, reducing the number of contestants and concentrating talent. This season's twist was an immunity potion that the queens who earned it could use to save themselves or another queen from elimination.
