An All-Winners Season may be coming...
 
It's something that's been rumoured for years but the Spoiled reddit seems to have recently come to the conclusion that it's a certainty :skull:

Quote:

Q: Wait, what?!?! An All Winners season??? Where did this come from???

A: Bro, just trust me We have received word from a reliable tea spiller that this is happening. There's no need to ask in the comments where this came from like everyone does, just trust me lol

Q: So, which winners could be on this season?

A: Our reliable tea spiller has told us that it sounds like Jinkx, The Vivienne and Bob were among the first to be contacted. Afterwards, Alaska, Bianca, Trixie, Raja and Violet were contacted. An unverified tea spiller has since stated that Aquaria, Monet, Trinity and Shea have been contacted.

Q: Wow, so all of those queens are gonna be on the season???

A: NO. Not necessarily. If you were around for the AS6 Nancy Drewing then you know that these things can change quickly. We have no confirmation on whether or not any of these people are hard Yes's or No's.

Q: So when will this season film / air?

A: Our verified spiller has said that WoW intends to film in early 2021. When the season airs is up for... speculation...
It's safe to assume that Tyra will not be participating, but who do we think would make the cast?

Bob, Jinkx and Alaska strike me as the most likely; they're die hard fans and incredibly multi-talented enough to perform well even if they don't win. Then there are other all-rounders that I think would be happy to participate (if not just for the exposure) like Chad, Raja and The Vivienne.

The list also doesn't name anyone who will have won AS6, UK2 or S13 by the time this would actually start filming, so :shrug:

Personally I think the likelihood would be ranked thusly:

Dead cert
Very likely
Possible!
Unlikely
No chance


Bob (perpetually asking for it to happen; total showboat; completely deserved)
Alaska (her and Bob are the two biggest superfans and she's just... invincible?)
Jinkx (not as sure with her as I am the others; but it's been eons since S5 and she's got so much talent and we deserve to see her drag elevated)

Chad (I just don't think she'd lose anything from it; even if she doesn't do well)
Raja (I think she's been open to the idea?)
Vivienne (super competitive, super talented, seems an easy fit)
Trinity (see above)
Monet (see above)
Yvie (think she said she was keen to do it, what with her medical condition perhaps limiting her future prospects)

Jaida (fresh off the boat, unsure since she's not really been rumoured with it yet)
Sasha (think they'd probably only cast her if they get Shea to agree to it, for a rematch angle)
Shea (after her less-than-wowing AS win she might just sit this out?)
Aquaria (I think she's said she's up for it but I just don't care enough about her to see her again)
Violet (she might be down to prove her talents after so many questioned her S7 win; and the runways would be worth it alone)
Bebe (she's already lost once since her win, so I don't think she'll be rushing back yet)

Priyanka (I think she'd really struggle against these girls)
Bianca (super busy, not sure she'd care enough to compete again, would probably settle for a cameo a la S8)
Trixie (seems to be vocal in not wanting to compete again, and doesn't exactly need the exposure)

Either of the Thailand winners
Envy Peru
Tyra

Captain.Remy 16-11-2020 06:01 AM

Bob, Alaska, Jinkx, The Vivienne, Trinity, Monet, Violet, Yvie, Chad, Raja, Priyanka are to me the ones locked in.

The others I'm not sure.
I'm not sure Sasha is up to it, we barely see her talking about RPDR anyway.
I don't think Envy Peru or the Thai queens will participate.
I can't really see Bianca doing it even though she jokes about it all the time.
Can't see Trixie either, she's got a lot to lose.
They will probably add Aquaria for the fashion competition with Violet and Raja.
Jaida would be a nice touch but maybe too early? (I would be so delighted if she's part of it)
Shea...I don't know. She's super super strong but maybe too strong? Idk. She just won, she's a big fan favorite, maybe it would be too obvious? You put her in the cast with Bob and Alaska and that top 3 would be as obvious as the top 3 from AS5.
I don't think Sharon would go through it again either.

If this is happening, this is going to be wild!

...or untucked, actually...it gets worse...

UserSince2005 16-11-2020 07:34 AM

to be honest if they dont do it now when everyones out of work they will never get as many queens desperate enough to risk ruining their reputation.

Smithy 16-11-2020 07:45 AM

If it goes ahead I can’t see it being in the standard format, who wants to be a winner one season and then a first elimination another

No one wants to go home first, but Im sure some would just go in for the exposure, not expecting to get past the first few, eliminations. Pryanka, Bebe, Violet, Vivienne.
Its people like Trixie that wouldn't be able to handle the truth and so wouldn't show up.

Smithy 16-11-2020 08:27 AM

Yeah Trixie knows she’d be a first boot :joker:

Captain.Remy 16-11-2020 09:21 AM

On top of what I said, if this takes place, I wish no queens would be eliminated until the very end, on the penultimate episode.
Let them go through the full process, do all the challenges and see who REALLY is the best. Then Ru decides the final 4 and they battle it out in the finale.
Instead of having an eliminated queen at the end of the episode, both top queens can lip sync for their legacy and Ru calls a winner of the week for track record purposes.

I don't think she would tbh Trixie may actually do well, she has evolved a lot in regards to her looks and other required criteria. But she said it was traumatic enough already and she has strong work ethics and drive, I don't think she would do it again. She's possibly one of the hardest working winner out there. But I would be happy if she showed up.

Ammi you have to! Don't bother with AS1, start with AS2 because it really is the best season EVER. You'll love it. It's a different game from regular RPDR, but it still provides a lot of entertainment.

Yeah I recall her saying she’s never really had the best time on the show, I think it would take a lot for her to come back.

That’s what everyone was expecting for AS3 but honestly I didn’t see the supposed growth :shrug:

She excels away from drag race, but on the show, both times she’s underwhelmed

I agree with this, although I think I’d prefer to see a smaller cast of 8-10 rather than throwing in every winner they can sign/afford. It would be much easier to keep track of, say, 8 queens rather than watching 16 or so every week. And keeping some out of it means if they did an All Winners 2 a few years down the line it wouldn’t just be recent queens as they’d likely have some older ones held back.

AS3 was a little bit early, she wasn't as elevated as she is today. And she said she likes doing UNHhhh more than RPDR, which is fair because that's where she shines. (same goes for Katya, though I would kill someone to have her back, but what she does outside of RPDR is so excellent)

I would like that too, good one! Queens like Yvie, Jaida, Priyanka, Envy Peru, The Vivienne etc can benefit from perfecting their craft and deal with their recent wins and come back.

Yeah I’d hate to see someone like Priyanka compete fresh off a win and ruin her legacy against some of the legends. But if there was an All Winners 2, say 5 years down the line, she would definitely have the craft to be up there in contention.

I'd be cautious about suggesting that Envy Peru could benefit from perfecting her craft when she'd basically perfected her craft by the time she walked into the workroom (hence her unprecedented track record, as well as her having 100k Instagram followers by the time the first episode even aired)

Black Dagger 16-11-2020 10:26 AM

I'm ready for Monsoon season 2.0

What I meant is that all winners have evolved and took their win to make it to another level. Envy Peru probably has the best track record of all winners (unsure about it, but it's pretty close to the top) but she just won and will do great things with that. I think it's good to also leave some time between the first win and going into such a tough competition again.
I would love to see her again on TV show, she slays!
