The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race will be crowned this weekend as season nine of the reality show comes to an end.

Contestants Peppermint, Shea Coulee, Trinity Taylor and Sasha Velour are competing to become America's next drag superstar.

But, unless there's another major plot twist, only one can take the crown.

Series nine of the show, seen in the UK on Netflix, has seen its fair share of shocks during the current season.

Eureka was eliminated after an injury forced her to walk on crutches while series favourite, Valentina, was given the boot after attempting to lip-sync while wearing a mask.

Ahead of the grand final, Newsbeat spoke to four Drag Race superfans to find out who they think should win the series.

Trinity Taylor: A shady queen who's also 'sweet and loving'

Trinity "The Tuck" Taylor is known for her cosmetic surgery, shady comments and having the tightest "tuck" in the competition.

Jessica Lauren, 21, from Somerset, is backing Trinity to win the series.

"I don't think many people warmed to her at the beginning," she tells Newsbeat.

"Trinity came in to the work room talking about her body and her image and as much as that is a big part of drag, she has proven throughout the challenges that she has more to her than that."

As well as praising her comedy skills (Jessica says Trinity's Sister Mary Koont performance was a highlight), she also says there was an unseen side to Trinity revealed in the Drag Race behind the scenes show, Untucked.

"I learned a lot about Trinity that way," she says.

"She's shady, she's opinionated and she can spill the tea but she's also sweet and loving."

Peppermint: A bridge between the drag and transgender community

Peppermint is a transgender drag queen who won over viewers with her lip-sync performances and warm personality.

William Connolly, 25, says a win for Peppermint would be a big moment for the show.

"She's got such strength and will hopefully be a bridge between the mainstream drag community and trans drag performers," he tells Newsbeat.

He also admires how Peppermint let her performances do the talking, not her gender.

"People say you have to be a male impersonating a female but there are so many incredible mainstream trans drag artists that this brings another part of the LGBTQ+ community into the show," says William.

"It is highlighting that there's even more to us as a collective community and that's something we should be championing."

Shea Coulee: Left her competition 'in the dust'

Shea Coulee won fans over with her sense of humour, fierce runway looks and her troubled friendship with fellow contestant Nina Bonina Brown.

Oliver Twixt, 22, from Atlanta, Georgia, says season nine was "the Shea Coulee show".

"Shea Coulee came in competing as if she were the winner," he says.

"Her overall presentation throughout the season spoke like one of a drag superstar.

"Her fashion sensibility and craftsmanship coupled with her polished aesthetic crushed the competition in every category.

"And in that final performance, she definitely left Sasha and Trinity in the dust."

Sasha Velour: Drag Race's 'most original' contestant

Sasha Velour is a New York art queen, who takes drag very seriously and uses her platform to educate as well as entertain.

Chris Sparrow, 28, from London says she's one of the "most original queens that has ever come through Drag Race".

"I'm actually surprised she's not won more challenges than she has," he says of her success rate during the competition.

"She's always really polished and the way she looks at drag as her artform and deconstructs what she's doing is so new and different from what we've seen in previous seasons."

Chris says he was also impressed with how Sasha raised more serious conversation topics among the contestants.

"She got the girls talking about any of the issues they've dealt with and talked about her own issues," he says.

The final of RuPaul's Drag Race will be screened on VH1 in the US on Friday 23 June and will stream on Netflix in the UK on 1 July.

UK fans have expressed their disappointment at the delay and Netflix has suggested UK fans avoid spoilers until it is available.
