Would any of the UK queens do well in an All Stars series?
 
I was thinking about this a few days back when All Stars 6 and the international spinoff was announced for a streaming service in the US. If All Stars extended to UK queens, would any of them do well?

I can see Divina, Tia and Lawrence (if she doesn't win) ending up on an international version.

I do hope they wait a while, though. Also, I’d be intrigued by which US queens would return. I don’t know if the international element is more or less of an incentive.

From UK1: Divina and Vivienne maybe Crystal? Cheryl would be great for entertainment value and Baga as first boot.
From UK2: probably most of them tbh. I can see Lawrence, A'Whora, Bimini and Tayce doing really well.

I was thinking after season 1 none of the girls would get that far but S2 is packed with talent.

I think the main thing holding back the UK queens would be the money issue. The US series hates queens that don't come loaded with designer gowns and thousands upon thousands of dollars' worth of gear. UK drag is a lot more self made i suppose, a lot more queens seem to know their way around a piece of fabric.

Yeah I think the main difference would be the fashion aspect although it balances out I think because the UK's queens charisma is far higher.

Divina & The Vivienne were very strong contenders in the first UK series , so I could easily see them smashing an
all-star and they were my favourites :clap1: .

Divina would do well. She has 15 years of experience :laugh: and is kind of a total package.
The Vivienne would do well in an all winners season. She's well-rounded and is very professional.
Would love to see Cheryl just for the laughter.

Out of season 2, Lawrence because Ru loves her already, Tayce has this "Naomi Smalls" aura (but more versatile), A'whora would do fine too.

I really hope this happens!

...Divina and The Vivienne from the first season ...but I think maybe Blu Hydrangea might do well also...I haven’t seen an All Stars though...so I don’t know how the queens are chosen...


...from this season..?...so many great queens so it’s more difficult to choose a few...hmmmmm, A’whora, Bimini, Tayce...?...and Lorrents Chaineeee, because Ru loves saying her name...

Yes Blu ! :love: 90% of her looks were great! that finale blue gown, I loved a lot!
Just a fun talented queen to be around, what a sweetheart. And with incredible makeup skills too!

Shaun 26-02-2021 06:19 PM

I think Blu would be swallowed up on All Stars, she hasn't got the stage presence to really stand out... she'd be better suited to just building up a YouTube following with her makeup.

Divina has a lot of talent but is also very... I don't know... I think they could portray her as quite bitter?

Of the UK queens I think the ones best suited to the USA show are Crystal, Cheryl and Asttina (of those eliminated thus far)... Tayce and Awhora could do well too if they don't win this series.

Edit: ofc there's no rule that the winners can't compete... since they didn't get prize money it's only fair that they can compete too :shrug:

Gstar 27-02-2021 12:21 AM

A’Whora, Tayse and Asttina. Lawrence also but I wouldn’t be surprised if they used subtitles for him because a lot of Americans struggle with the Scottish accent. The same thing happened on ANTM with a Scottish contestant but it still worked and actually made people like her more

Tom4784 27-02-2021 01:38 PM

I think Blu would probably be a first boot on an allstars season, sadly. She's a good personality but her talent lies in her insane makeup skills and she'd never get enough time to show that off properly in a Drag Race setting.
