Las Vegas resident Elliott With 2 Ts is coming for the crown on RuPaul's Drag Race season 13. The Drag Race history with Vegas queens started all the way back on season 1 with Shannel. However, the judges did give Shannel a hard time during that season, which created a false impression that the show wasn't welcoming to "Vegas showgirls." This was, of course, a very wrong assumption from some fans. Las Vegas divas such as Coco Montrese, Derrick Barry, Farrah Moan, Kimora Blac, and Kahanna Montrese are all great examples of queens who have captivated the fans for many years.
But it should be noted that Elliott With 2 Ts doesn't seem to be the typical Las Vegas showgirl that the Drag Race fans are used to seeing on the show. She is glamorous and polished, but she seems to be much more laidback than her predecessors. Nonetheless, it was clear from the first moment that the fans heard from Elliott that she's going on the show to be competitive and will try to snatch the crown. "You can buy Instagram followers," she joked during her Meet The Queens video.
Elliott With 2 Ts is a Las Vegas queen, and you can bet that she's going to play to win RuPaul's Drag Race season 13. In her own words, Elliott described herself as a "housewife meets Jennifer Lopez." But interestingly enough, Elliott isn't actually a huge fan of the whole process (makeup, hair, getting dressed) that it takes her to get into drag. Instead, she likes the performance elements of her craft, such as dancing, lip syncing, and being in front of a crowd. One fun fact about Elliott is that she's worked as a teacher on Alyssa Edwards' dance studio, so she's very familiar with House of Edwards queens like Laganja Estranja. Like most contestants, it took a few auditions for Elliott to actually get cast on the show. In any case, she seems to have a very laid-back personality who isn't into huge confrontations. The fans who are dying to see more from Elliott can check her out on Instagram.
It is now Elliott's turn to show the fans what she has to offer on RuPaul's Drag Race season 13. Las Vegas is all about betting odds, but the fans can surely bet that Elliott With 2 Ts will be giving her all during this competition.
We're all excited for a brand-new season of Drag Race. And surely enough, it is coming earlier than we all thought.
RuPaul's Drag Race season 13 premieres Friday, January 1, 2021 at 8pm EST on VH1.
