All Stars 6: Rumoured Cast (Potential spoilers, obviously)

[Shaun]

I believe filming for AS6 is now underway, and naturally Reddit have gone into hyperdrive scouring queens' social media, their cancellations of appearances and gigs, who's been approaching other girls and designers for looks, who's been shopping for fabrics, etc etc... and this is currently looking like the full lineup for AS6. Below the spoiler is another spoiler of queens who have been pretty much 100% ruled out, and some of them will disappoint you sorry :(

AS6 cast, in order of likelihood

Sonique (S2) :flutter:
Scarlet Envy (S11)
Jan (S12)
Pandora Boxx (S2/AS1)
Yara Sofia (S3/AS1) :flutter:
Jiggly Caliente (S4)
Trinity K Bonet (S6)
Ginger Minj (S7/AS2) :flutter: the first of a non-AS1 return allstar?
A'Keria C Davenport (S11) :flutter:
Ra'Jah O'Hara (S11) :flutter:

"Unlikely": Serena Cha Cha (S5)

Unless the lipsync format stays the same with just 1 vs. Assassin, we're in some treats if Trinity, Ra'Jah, Sonique and A'Keria are all cast. The presence of Serena under "unlikely" seems to be because she went AWOL on social media, but... compared to the other queens above, would she really make the cut?

Almost confirmed to not be participating as a contestant

Nina Flowers :(
Shannel :(
Jessica Wild :(
Dida Ritz :(
Jade Jolie
Adore Delano
Darienne Lake :(
Joslyn Fox
Laganja Estranja
Laila McQueen
Peppermint :(
Alexis Michelle
Nina Bo'nina Brown :(
Eureka :(
Kameron Michaels
Asia O'Hara :(
Silky Nutmeg Ganache
Nina West
Shuga Cain
Plastique Tiara
Gigi Goode

Apparently these names above were all contacted by production at some point but either declined, or were dropped, or whatever. Anyone else not on this list wasn't considered, I guess

I won't be posting any other spoilers because I don't want to know who goes home first, who makes the final, etc... not yet anyway :hee: so don't post them in here if they ever surface.

The absence of a real frontrunner like Asia, Eureka, Peppermint or Gigi is really surprising... but it could make it way more interesting. On paper, Ginger is the strongest and most talented but she has a habit of getting bad edits and lukewarm fans... A'Keria is the only other finalist in the cast... but Yara and Pandora had very strong debut seasons. I've no idea where to predict TKB would finish, or Jan for that matter.

[Tom4784]

It's an interesting cast if that's the case, on paper I'd say that A'Keria is definitely the strongest contender but even then it seems like the cast would be quite evenly matched.

[Smithy]

Ginger returning would be interesting, she was done dirty on AS2 but I worry that this could be the start of the show burning out as they’re clearly running out of queen s

[Captain.Remy]

The list of queens not participating is so GOOD!

Out of the rumored cast, A'keria is on paper one of the front-runners. So happy for Sonique, I love her and that outfit she wore for the Christmas special :love:
Pandora Boxx is an interesting choice. She delivered one of my favorite read of all time "Your drag clothes look like a donkey *****ed a piñata and threw up" :skull: :joker: Timeless.

Edit: Another read from Pandora "Tyra Sanchez, if you're America's sweetheart, America needs a heart transplant". :laugh::laugh:

It's... weird to say the least to see some of the queens who had very recently been considered near-locks (Asia, Plastique) ruled out, and for other queens whose names have barely been mentioned (A'keria, Jiggly, Pandora, Ra'Jah) now in. If this is the cast, I don't mind it at all, but I think on paper it faces the same problem as the AS5 cast - it just doesn't feel like an overly cohesive group of queens. That said, I'm happy to be proven wrong when this season airs in three years' time, and I'll be cherishing every Ra'Jah confessional we get in the one episode I see her lasting!

[MB.]

p.s. I can absolutely see Jan being a finalist, along with Ginger, A'keria and *closes eyes, points* Yara

[Tom4784]

I do hope they don't do Ginger dirty this time and I really hope they give the acting challenges with pre-determined roles a boot. No one likes them, and they're just an excuse for the producers to get rid of particular queens.

[Saph]

the Gigi fans to stan Scarlet Envy's bare minimum again this series?

I hope Rajah comes back, honestly the most iconic queen from s11

Storyline-wise I'd imagine they'll push for a Scarlet vs. Ra'Jah edit, push for any bad blood between the two... one sent the other home, and continually undermined her drag abilities... so there'll most likely be a Scarlet underdog edit. With close-ups of Ra'Jah laughing along with A'Keria, Ginger, Trinity, other pageant girls etc to really hammer it home (this'd be hella irresponsible with the show's fragile reputation for ****ing over black queens, though).

Two of the queens being Davenports will be a bit of a tough situation given the very recent loss... it'd be tacky to exploit their grief but I wouldn't put it past the show. Two of the queens being trans and nowhere near as problematic as Gia will be a breath of fresh air, too.

I don't know, I can see why it'd be described as an odd bunch but I'm more excited that there are so many leftfield picks here that definitely deserve another chance (Trinity, Ra'Jah, Sonique, Jiggly)

[Daniel-X]

I think Jan could do really well this season, she didn’t bomb a single challenge in S12 and was done dirty so many times. Really pleased to see Scarlet and Trinity on the list too but I can’t see either making it past F6 out of that list :(

Ew @ Ginger and Pandora, nobody asked for that luv!

[Shaun]

In this house we stan the many talents of the Minj tyvm! The other one can hop though!

[Braden]

Ru needs to chill with the All-Star seasons.

I can’t take much more!

[UserSince2005]

Jan should have waited, she needs to calm down. Ru is just going to KO the eager bunny again.
Excited for;
Scarlet Envy (S11)
Jiggly Caliente (S4)
Trinity K Bonet (S6)

[Samm]

Devastated at no asia. she was who i was most looking forward to :(

i like the rest though apart from pandora ALSO i demand delta work to be featured on one of these all star seasons, underrated queen

[MB.]

Rumour now has it that the cast is as follows:

A'keria C. Davenport
Eureka
Ginger Minj
Jan
Jiggly Caliente
Pandora Boxx
Ra'Jah O'Hara
Scarlet Envy
Serena ChaCha
Shannel
Silky Nutmeg Ganache
Sonique
Trinity K. Bonet
Yara Sofia

Yes, 14 queens(!)

[Saph]

Do we really need all of those :skull:

I sense a mess

[Smithy]

Serena Cha Cha on an All Stars.... I-

[Black Dagger]

A ****ing mess.

[Shaun]

12 episodes apparently, so that means 11 eliminations and a top 3 episode? I suppose it could be a final 4 with one of the episodes also being a "returning queen" twist.

I just... I'm kinda looking forward to this if the cast is 100% accurate. There are a lot of big, overbearing personalities but I think Silky, Eureka and Ginger will be wayyyyy too scared to get another villainous edit. Ra'Jah, Scarlet, Shannel, Jiggly and Serena are harder to predict.

You could definitely make a case for a few of them being filler, and would expect them to be early boots (Serena, Jiggly, Ra'Jah, Trinity) but the lack of an obvious winner is the best thing about this cast. Even when AS5 had one, they did a good job of making Shea out to be somewhat lacklustre... but that was most likely due to the format.

I hope the Lipsync Assassin twist is axed. I don't know what I want to take its place, but 1 winner per episode just makes it a little murkier to tell who's doing well and who's just coasting.

[Barry.]

I’m so happy Pandora and Scarlet are in this.

[Saph]

here for Ra'Jah being the villain again

[Shaun]

her entrance look to feature a gas mask because she's gagging over Eureka's smell? :fc:

[Headie]

TKB :love: Perched for some iconic lip syncs

[Jigs]

Bye why is this so iconic

I hope it's true!

[Moniqua]

the drama that cast is bound to have :love:

[MB.]

The way season 13 + AS6 alone will run for 30 weeks of the year :skull:

edit: make that 28 (which is still a lot)

[Samm]

If UK and Canada air next year as well? :skull:

[MB.]

Turns out Shannel isn't on the season after all, so I'm not sure if there are fewer queens than anticipated or if there's a secret 14th queen who hasn't been clocked yet (come through Mrs. Kasha Davis :fc:)

[Shaun]

Shannel would've probably been a waste in this cast anyway, we need her and Rebecca Glasscock to duke it out in AS7.

I've seen loads of speculative "top 4"s and I honestly don't even know what to believe. One of the queens being an early elimination is severely upsetting me, though

[Captain.Remy]

I read there is a shocking elimination which I refused to check.
I'm loving this cast, it's diverse and should be drama filled. The fact there is no obvious winner is really good. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Shea but the producers knew what they were doing when they didn't put anyone else of her caliber. That doesn't take away her much deserving win.

[Tom4784]

Looking at the list, there's no one that really stands out as a surprising early boot, considering there aren't too many next level talents aside from A'keria and I think it wouldn't be too surprising if she was eliminated via shenanigans. When you say surprising boot, I think of Manila's exit or, you know, if Shea went home after the Golden Girls debacle.

One thing I do like about this cast is that it's unpredictable. There's one or two frontrunners and a few destined early boots (ohai Serena and TKB) but on paper the race is wide open.

[Shaun]

just rewatching AS5 now and, with AS4 as well, idk if my heart is ready for another Season 3 girl to kill the competition and then get rigged out of the competition by some talentless no-mark with no personality :( Yara stay safe gurl <3

[Shaun]

is this airing during, or after, Down Under?

[Smithy]

After I believe, the cast is being announced in a couple of weeks

Also there’s another format change

eliminated queens will go to a “ru demption island” and there will be two lip syncs per week

[Shaun]

great... S13 really showed how lipsyncs can never become tiring.... :unsure:

[Samm]

not drag race survivor

[Black Dagger]

Oh kill me now.

[Tom4784]

Can they stop screwing with the format and just give us the simple format that worked just fine before?

[Captain.Remy]

That nrw twist is dumb af but if the rumoured cast is true, then we've got some nice lipsync queens that can deliver.
However it's either that twist or the lipsync assassin thing from AS5. I hope they don't do both in the same episode :skull:
Just go back to the top 2 lipsyncing and be done with it.
