The Cast of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 8
Acid Betty, 37
Brooklyn, NY
No need to adjust your TV sets – this acid trip is all real. The self-proclaimed “bitch” of the competition, Acid Betty mixes a retina-searing psychedelic style with an outspoken, confrontational attitude. As Betty herself puts it, “even Bianca [Del Rio] won’t f— with her. That’s the T!”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

Bob The Drag Queen, 29
New York, NY
This funny girl describes herself as “hilarious, beautiful, talented… and humble.” And well she might toot her own horn, having perfected her comedic chops hosting drag shows six nights a week in Manhattan. Bob’s unabashed confidence will either win the judges over… or cost her the crown.

Chi Chi DeVayne, 29
Shreveport, LA
A sassy southern dancing queen with a formidable lip-synch, this queen puts the charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent in “country.” Hailing from humble roots, Chi Chi is determined to win the $100,000 prize. And if she can rise to the challenge and embrace who she is in the competition… she might just be laughing all the way to the bank.

Cynthia Lee Fontaine, 34
Austin, TX
Originally from Puerto Rico, this latina pageant queen is “sexy as a goddesses and funny as a clown.” Cynthia plans to dominate the competition with her giant personality… and with her giant “kuku” too. But will her wonderful wackiness translate on the runway?

Dax ExclamationPoint, 31

Derrick Barry, 32
Las Vegas, NV
Professional celebrity impersonator Derrick transforms himself into Britney Spears six nights a week on the Las Vegas strip, with a look so convincing, even Brit-Brit herself was left speechless when she met him. But whether the judges will go crazy for Derrick’s Britney, or ask him to gimme more, remains to be seen.

Kim Chi, 27
Chicago, IL
This Korean drag queen is not only a cultural first for RuPaul’s Drag Race; she’s also the first Korean drag queen ever to be on television. With her formidable makeup skills and over-the-top anime drag, it doesn’t look like she will disappoint in her ambassadorial duties for Korea. Not bad for a queen named after pickled cabbage.

Laila McQueen, 22
Gloucester, MA
A quasi-rocker-goth-queen, Laila brings a dark and delicious flavor to the race. Her punky aesthetic and Beetlejuice fashions make her stand out from the crowd… but only time will tell if they can make her rise to the top of the competition.

Naomi Smalls, 21
Redlands, CA
This ridiculously leggy, tall glass of water is obsessed with ’90s supermodels, like her namesake Naomi Campbell. But with a last name inspired by Biggie Smalls, it’s no wonder she also has a notorious reputation… so you’d better check your lipstick before you come for her.

Naysha Lopez, 31
Chicago, IL
One of the most beautiful queens ever to grace the Drag Race runway, Naysha already made waves in the pageant world when she snatched the prestigious Miss Continental crown. But rub this flawless queen the wrong way, and her reaction will be anything but pretty.

Robbie Turner, 33
Seattle, WA
Hailing from the same city as her best friends (and Drag Race alumni) Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme, Robbie Turner has some big shoes to fill as the third installment of the Seattle Drag Race trilogy. Luckily, Robbie is a multi-talented comedic performer… skills that will stand her in good stead if her predecessors are any indication.

Thorgy Thor, 31
Brooklyn, NY
Fans are going to fall in love with this colorful “fashion clown,” for both her high-octane energy and eclectic style. A perfectionist by nature and determined to be recognized for her talents, will Thorgy’s competitive streak ultimately help or hinder her in the race?

Dax Exclamation Point has a good chance, being the drag mother of last season’s winner, Violet Chachki. I won’t be watching any of this because I don’t get Logo, but hopefully, this season will be better than the abortion that was Season 7

Ein paar sehr verheiÃ?ungsvolle Damen 😀 ich bin gespannt ^^
Sven Stoffmehl
Bin gespannt. Acid und Bob sagen wir was und ich freue mich darauf. Ansonsten auch einige dabei wo ich auf den ersten Blick denke “weeeelllll”.. Und erneut keine Vicky dabei.. ;(
Carina Schmidt
Kim Chi ist super! Und ich bin gespannt auf Robby Turner, sie muss ein paar groÃ?e FuÃ?stapfen treten.

Wheeeee
Anne Wyschler
Okay Wheeeee back… so nice sind die alle gar nich!? 0.o
Derrick looks like Courtney meets Willam meets Britney Spears and Laila looks like Adore meets Violet and Kim Chi is doch ein uneheliche Kind von Jujubee & Trixie or not?!
Carina Schmidt
Ich finde es total schlimm, wie alle sofort vergleichen. Barry spielt Britney in Las Vegas, da freue mich sehr drauf, und Kim Chi ist der Hammer!
Letztes Jahr haben ja auch alle gesagt, Katya wäre ein Abklatsch von Willam und jetzt lieben sie sie.
Also ich freue mich sehr auf diese Staffel, auf Acid Betty, Kim Chi, Robbie Turner und Bob the Drag Queen.
Um Willam zu zitieren, “I’m not a Pearl, not yet a Raja…”
Anne Wyschler
Ich vergleiche gern und bis jetz bin ich einfach nur sehr enttäuscht dass Vicky nich dabei is… finde die Queens jetz nich so mega!
Anne Wyschler
Und das Katya ein Abklatsch von Willam sein sollte hab ich noch nie gehört?! 0.o
Carina Schmidt
Ohne Hintergrundinformationen ist das aber einfach nicht gerechtfertigt. Da sind Queens bei, die seit 15 Jahren im Geschäft sind und die werden dann mit welchen verglichen, die noch relativ neu sind und nur so bekannt sind, weil sie im TV waren.
Anne Wyschler
Ja is ja gut ich sag ja schon nix mehr… Ich guck es mir an und Bild mir ne neue Meinung!

Laura Grady
Yes!! So excited
Stephen Sperou
Yeah seen it ! I’m not in love yet with any of them I don’t think
Michael Shaftoe
I think Kim Chi is my favourite so far. Derrick Barry is Nebraska Thunderfuck’s boyfriend. She’s fishy but I think she might be a bit of a one trick pony.
Angelle McCluskey
I love Kim chi and Bob the drag queen already and Naomi Smalls is ð??¥ð??¥ð??¥ð??¥ð??¥ð??¥
Stephen Sperou
As I said last might too Kim chi is my fave and I hope Naomi smalls will werk it
Michael Shaftoe
I kinda feel like Laila McQueen might be fierce as fuck as well. She kinda looks like a love child of Adore and Violet.
Angelle McCluskey
Michael Shaftoe haha yes Laura Grady said this too

I wish Bob the Drag Queen had been in an earlier season with those obnoxious pageant queens like Roxxxy Andrews. Would have been fun to see how upset they would get at a Drag Queen named Bob. LOL

Brian
RuPaul’s drag race is pathetic and sad. The gay community doesn’t need RuPaul and his stereotypes of women that are patently offensive to real women.
Brian
By the way, how would RuPaul like it if a white person went black-face, pretending to be RuPaul? RuPaul seems to enjoy stereotyping women so perhaps a bit of the black-face might be something to serve to him.

I get worse and worse!!!

@Brian:
So let’s see Brian, you defend Kim Davis, Sarah Palin, and the GOP anti-gay candidates but hate anything gay and that includes RuPaul. Ok got it.

I am really liking Acid Betty for some reason
Spike
So many seasoned 30+ year old queens. Perfection is boring, the show was more interesting when they had younger less professional queens screwing up, showing up on the run way looking like a hot mess and the melt downs. Gonna be a boring season.
Philigree
@Brian: lol. sharon needles, the winner of season 4, already did. ru didn’t care. but thanks for trying and failing as usual. 🙂
Philigree
@Brian: also, such comments coming from someone who consistently spouts hasty generalizations about women? deliciously hypocritical. i love it whenever you reach for the stars in an attempt to spew your venom. if you’re the only foe this community needs to deal with, the battle should be considered won. 🙂
Philigree
@Xzamilio: if i’m not mistaken, the fuckery that was season 7 actually got people fired. so yeah, changes have been made–hopefully for the better.
