SAN DIEGO – West Coast fans who had the patience to ignore national news sites and social media that shared the winner of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” after it aired on the East Coast three hours earlier seemed pleased with RuPaul’s crowning of Sharon Needles as “America’s Next Drag Superstar.”
Native San Diego contestant Chad Michaels, who remains a fan favorite, was thought by many to be the natural winner, because of his style and look, performance ability, experience, and class on and off stage.
