Shantay, Law Roach is here to stay (on a semi-regular basis) on RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Following his debut as a guest judge on last year’s 16th season, the celebrity ‘image architect’ revealed his new gig as a “rotating” judge on the MTV reality competition series, alongside host RuPaul Charles.
“I am not the special guest judge. I am sitting next to Ru, and Hunter Schafer is the special guest judge this episode,” he told Parade of Friday’s Season 17 episode ‘Let’s Get Sickening Ball’.

Roach joins the likes of fellow rotating judges Ross Matthews, Carson Kressley and Ts Madison, alongside Ru, permanent fixture Michelle Visage and a celebrity guest judge each week.
When asked how many more episodes he’ll appear in this season, Roach said, “I don’t know what I can say. But I mean, we all know what that third seat represents.”

With the promotion, Roach’s only regret is that he won’t get to hang with the queens backstage during Untucked, an honor usually bestowed upon the week’s guest judge. “When you’re rotating, you don’t get to do that anymore,” he noted.
“I think that it was also kind of shocking for the queens to come out and see me in that third seat. It felt good to sit next to Mama Ru,” said Roach.
Now in its 17th season, RuPaul‘s Drag Race nabbed its 27th Emmy in 2023, having also expanded to multiple international spin-offs in the UK, Thailand, Mexico and more since its 2009 premiere on Logo.
