RuPauls Drag Race season 15 recently released its 13th episode on March 24, 2023. The episode saw the shocking exit of the fan-favorite contestant Loosey LaDuca.
Loosey’s elimination has come as a shock to the show’s fans as she was considered one of the potential winners of this season. Likewise, she also had one of the best reactions to the last challenge she completed in the show.
For her last challenge on RuPaul’s Drag Race, LaDuca had to give a teacher named LaLa LaDuca a Drag makeover to resemble a family member. As expected, the makeover Loosey gave to LaLa was rated as one of the most accurate makeovers.
However, the judges were not impressed with her performance as she was eliminated in the 13th episode. Loosey was visibly shocked and disappointed by her dismissal. She even raised her concerns during an interview with Entertainment Weekly claiming that she should have been in the season finale.
With her dismissal, four contestants remain for the finale: Sasha Colby, Anetra, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, and Luxx Noir London. Some other famous drag personalities related to the Drag Race franchise include Irene Dubois, Kerri Colby, and Jermaine Flower.
