Nearly matching the speculation around who will take home the grand prize in each iteration of the RuPaul’s Drag Race franchise, fans have turned the educated guessing game of who will be cast next into something of a sport.
And now an announcement from a season ten standout has people certain she’ll appear on season five of Drag Race All Stars.
In a video upload to Instagram, Maxwell Heller, better known as Miz Cracker, said she’s had to cancel her upcoming summer shows in Australia and New Zealand.
Cracker, who placed 5th on her season, also wrote:
How about we take this to the next level?

“I cannot apologize enough for having to postpone my tour w/ @itdpresents due to an unavoidable conflict.
“BUT I will be coming in November. I love y’all and thank you for understanding – especially to those who planned trips from far and wide to come see this tour.”
She also linked to her updated November tour dates, adding: “I hope to see everyone then.”
Sudden and unexplained scheduling changes have been a fairly dependable indication that a queen is clearing out her calendar to make way for a demanding filming process for Drag Race, and that certainly looks to be what is happening here.
That sentiment is echoed in the comments section of the post, with variations of “All Stars 5 here we go” repeated ad nauseam.
We’ll of course have to wait for an official casting announcement from VH1 to know for certain — we promise to act surprised.

While that is interesting, how about the obvious producer interference in this seasons arc??

Have you missed the obvious producer interference in all of the other seasons? Drag Race is one of the worst offenders among competitive reality shows.

I’ve seen it, but this season is so over the top I can’t believe it. They aren’t even pretending to be subtle about it. It reminds me of when they wanted Ginger to win in Season 7 and had 200 acting challenges in a row.

I love the show, but they really should let a few regular seasons pass between All Stars seasons. They’ve brought back way too many filler queens, and crowned a few too.

Whole heartedly agree. The last All Stars was lacking Stars.
Cam
Yes, maybe at least 4 or 5 seasons in between.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Ongina, Willam and Joselyn Fox back on All Stars but I’m guessing they’ll have someone who went out 3rd 2 seasons ago.

People need to get over bitching about “interference” in the show. It’s a show. Get over it.
The only sad about the show are the awful “comedy sketches” that are mostly god awful.
Also, when the queens leave the show and think they’re singers when they couldn’t carry a tune on the show. Stop it. Who buys that crap? Idiots.
Outside of that, I love the show. It’s entertaining and that’s it. It’s entertainment. Stop taking it so seriously. Also, when queens have attitude on the show or off, I don’t get it. You’re having attitude towards your OWN community when there’s so much hate in this world to begin with? Get over yourself.

You think people are taking the show too seriously, but you also think drag queens shouldn’t have attitude. Maybe take your own advice and don’t take them too seriously? Attitude is a staple personality trait for drag queens AND reality show contestants.
