I really like an "early-outs" idea just to give some of the lesser-known queens some attention and lip service. If we're sticking to ten queens, I'd cast:

- Laila McQueen
- Kelly Mantle
- Tempest DuJour
- April Carrion
- Vivacious
- Lashauwn Beyond
- Naysha Lopez
- Mystique
- Nicole Paige Brooks
- Yuhua Hamasaki

Porkchop can stay in 1988. All of the above have more talent than their placing would suggest - Lashauwn is an amazing designer who's produced a hell of a lot of gowns on Drag Race, Mystique and April have evolved a hell of a lot, Yuhua and Laila are pretty polished and modern queens, Kelly and Tempest offer comedy greatness, and Nicole and Vivacious gave us iconic lines.

Give all 10 queens two episodes before one is sent home (end of Ep 2), a la the Gaga episode.
