Who is competing in the RuPaul's Drag Race Season 15 finale?

The competition has been narrowed down from 16 queens to just four, with Anetra, Luxx Noir London, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, and Sasha Colby vying for the crown, a year's supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics, and $200,000, the largest cash prize ever in the show's history.

The four queens will each present an individual performance, following which RuPaul will choose a top two who will then lipsync for the win, similar to the season 14 finale last year.

Who will win RuPaul's Drag Race Season 15?

The odds-on favorite to take it all is Sasha, who came into the season with the biggest reputation as a drag legend, ending the tally with the highest number of challenge wins at four.

Anetra is right behind her with three wins and is the season's fan favorite; she has the largest amount of fan support on the #Team posts on social media and is considered the strongest lipsyncher of the season alongside Sasha, with Michelle Visage deeming her lipsync against Marcia Marcia Marcia her favorite of all time.

While Mistress and Luxx trail behind in terms of wins (one and two, respectively), both have dominated the edit and narrative of the season, giving them just as much a shot. Mistress has proven herself to be the one with the quickest comebacks and shady remarks, while Luxx, as a student of Drag Race, has had the most reality TV-ready package.

Check out the finale on Friday to find out who Mama Ru deems the queen supreme!
