The Hollywood Reporter can exclusively reveal the RuPaul’s Drag Race season six winner is returning to host the upcoming season of the show’s official recap series The Pit Stop.
With new episodes premiering on YouTube on Saturdays, Bianca will review weekly episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 18 alongside a new special guest each week. (No word on Bianca’s slate of guests just yet!)
“I’m excited to be back hosting The Pit Stop and giving everyone my sweet, kind and thoughtful critiques!” Bianca said in a statement. “No one will be safe … not even Michelle Visage!”

A companion to the main series, The Pit Stop began in 2016 as a weekly review of season eight and has continued to be a staple in the fan viewing experience. Season 18 of RuPaul’s Drag Race premieres on Jan. 2, at 8 p.m. on MTV, with new episodes rolling out every Friday, followed by The Pit Stop on Saturdays on YouTube.
Bianca has previously hosted the recap series tied to season 15 of the main show and RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars season eight. Since winning season six of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Bianca has remained a beloved queen in the franchise, and has since headlined Carnegie Hall and Wembley Arena, performed on the West End and released her book Blame It On Bianca Del Rio.
She follows All Stars season four winner Monét X Change, who served as the host of The Pit Stop for the past two installments of the main and spinoff series: RuPaul’s Drag Race season 17 and All Stars season 10.
Season 18 features an all-new cast of 14 drag artists as they vie for the namesake of America’s Next Drag Superstar — and the $200,000 prize that comes with the title.
