Thank goodness for pre-taping!
The fourth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars is getting primped and pampered — and today VH1 (read: NOT Showtime) announced the much-anticipated cast list.
The new season features 10 returning queens who will compete for $100K and a spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame.
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars will premiere Friday, June 5th at 8PM ET/PT on VH1.
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.
So let’s get to it!
Meet the queens and read what VH1 has to say:
Alexis Mateo (Season 3, All Stars 1)

BAM! Alexis Mateo came to season three and made it to the top three before being eliminated. She got her second chance competing in a team on “All Stars” 1, but again fell short of the crown. Now the jig is up! Alexis is back for “All Stars” 5 to secure her spot in the “Drag Race Hall of Fame!” Sickening, no?
Blair St. Clair (Season 10)

She do declare! It’s Blair St. Clair! Since season 10, this young queen has really grown and “glown-up,” and now she’s ready to be your star! Will she shine bright enough to take the “All Stars” crown?
Derrick Barry (Season 8)

It’s Derrick, B*tch! On season eight, Derrick Barry struggled to show she’s more than just a Britney Spears impersonator. Derrick is back on “All Stars” 5 to prove she is stronger than yesterday! She is ready to display the full spectrum of her drag and snatch her spot in the “Drag Race Hall of Fame.”
India Ferrah (Season 3)

India came into season three with over-the-top glam looks, but was critiqued for having an under-the-radar personality. She’s gone down in herstory for being picked up by another queen during a lip sync for her life. On “All Stars” 5, this high-kicking queen is ready to pick up where she left off and remind everyone that Drag is not a contact sport!
Jujubee (Season 2, All Stars 1)

Jujubee first dazzled the world with her humor, heart and beauty on season two and then again on All Stars season one. But despite her efforts, Jujubee has never made it to the top. What about her?! What about Jujubee?! Is “All Stars” 5 her chance to prove the third time really is the charm?
Mariah Paris Balenciaga (Season 3)

A post shared by Mariah Balenciaga (@mug4dayz) on
On season three, Mariah, aka Mariah Paris Balenciaga, aka Mariah Successful, was known for her beauty, grace, and mug 4 dayz! She was eliminated after underperforming in Snatch Game, but now Mariah is back on “All Stars” 5 to show the world that this versatile ball queen is ready to take the grand prize!
Mayhem Miller (Season 10)
The drama is here! Mayhem Miller crashed the “Drag Race” party on season 10! She started strong, winning the very first challenge, but a peck of pickle problem put her in the bottom, and she sashayed away too soon. Now this L.A. favorite is back to stake her claim on the Hall of Fame. Is it finally Miller time?
Miz Cracker (Season 10)

“Okay, it’s time for Cracker!” Season 10’s self-described Jewish Barbie brought smarts and sass to the game – even as she struggled to get out of her head. Now this blonde, beloved New Yorker is back to take a crack at the “All Stars” crown!
Ongina (Season 1)
On season one, Ongina captured the hearts of millions with her charisma, uniqueness, nerve, talent and beautiful bald head! Now this high energy Queen is back for “All Stars” 5! Will she make up for lost time and take her spot in the “Drag Race Hall of Fame?”
Shea Couleé (Season 9)
Chicago in the house! Shea Couleé came to season nine to SLAY not PLAY! And “slay” she did, snatching four wins on her way to the Grand Finale, before a shocking shower of rose petals sent her packin’. Equal parts bougie and banjie, this polished powerhouse now has her eyes on the “All Stars” prize!
Season 12 of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ airs every Friday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on VH1 followed by ‘RuPaul’s Secret Celebrity Drag Race’ at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT and ‘Untucked’ at 11 p.m. ET/PT.

I’m surprised that Joslyn Fox, Wilam, and Laganga have never been in All Stars
Catholicslutbox
Wilam has been banned.
Laganga… idk. I love her mama, tongue pop, tongue pop, yas mama, tongue, okurrrr! Werk! Probably not coming back because of how they treated her.
S10 is still too early but at least there aren’t any 11 or 12.
cliche guevara
Willam was cast in All Stars season 1 and they dropped him last minute. He is actually in the first episode randomly giving commentary.
Laganga was asked to come back and do one of the All Stars seasons but wouldn’t do the required psychological evaluation. He has talked about it in a few interviews.
Joslyn seems to have fallen off the map.

Willam and Rupaul have beef with each other so sadly she won’t be on anytime soon.

I know 3. Maybe that shows my age. Alexa, Juju & Onjina. I love the new show on TLC with the 4 drag queens. I will never forget Bebe’s rap. For some reason, I also loved Rebecca. But, always & forever…she had a nice show on Netflix teaching dance to kids like Dance Moms.
Still think Ru f*cked up when those 3 queens were bullying 3 others. The “Heathers” & “Boogers.” WTF was that about & then Ru gave it to slant eyed Raja. Must have herself been bullied & punched. Jennine Piro looks like she’s been decked with a wonkie eye. That one was probably deserved. May have been Whoopie.

The heather and booger thing was done for the cameras. The producers heard all the queens joking around after hours and told them to do it for the cameras

Tired.
Over.

Maybe it’s just me, but I would much rather watch a regular season of Drag Race with all new contestants than watch people who have already been on the show 2-3 times go at it again. All reality television is any more is the same group of people competing again and again and again. Look at the current season of Survivor, some of those people are “competing” for the 5th time! Survivor, Big Brother, Amazing Race, they are all just the same group of people being recycled over and over. Now it’s the same with Drag Race.
Everyone knows that when you are bounced from Drag Race you don’t go back home again. You are immediately hired by the RuPaul organization to do tours, record albums, release music videos, and do movies, so if you want to see past contestants, go to one of the live shows, and let new people come into the fold on the TV shows.

I totally looked forward to this All-Stars Season as I do every thing Drag Race. It is pure escapism. Totally glad I am not one of those Queens who are bitchy and hate everything……… YAWN
