Spoilers abound, obvi.

Quite a few of the obvious choices have gotten a crown at this point, but there's still some left (including some previous AS competitiors *cough* Manila, Shangela, Dela & Monique to name a few). Which queens that have not been crowned do you think could and potentially will win a future AS season? I think the following has a good shot.

Bimini - I'm pretty sure that if (when?) UKAS happens, she's pretty much guaranteed to win, with potentially only Divina really providing competition at this point.
Gigi - Not a huge fan tbh, but she had mostly a good run on her season and she seems like someone Drag Race would crown eventually.
Asia - Popular, very talented, and would probably stomp an AS season.
Vanjie - I like her, but I can see her getting 'Trixie'd', in that she'll win because of who she is rather than by delivering a commanding performance throughout a potential season.
Peppermint - She mostly got to the final by basically being nigh on unstoppable in a lipsync, but she's the only member of the S8 Top 4 without a crown, and I think she could potentially make for a strong contender in an AS season.

It gets difficult looking back at older seasons to spot obvious winners, if she wasn't blacklisted, Courtney Act would do well, but beyond that, I dunno.

Shangela deserves her win.

I'd take Vanjie off that list; too limited in talent to really challenge in a serious manner.

Brooke Lynn is probably capable... if she can find a personality. Eureka definitely has a chance if she can get a good edit / the fans stop baying for her blood and realise she's a fantastic performer.

I think the best all-rounder that hasn't won yet is probably Detox.

Yeah, I mostly put Vanjie on there because she's a production favourite and I think they'd find a way to crown her if they could.

I think Brooke Lynn being a judge now will prevent her taking part in an AS season unless DRC gets cancelled at some point.

The main issue with Eureka is that her personality makes it easy to sculpt her into being the villain of the series. I'm no huge fan of her, but she's a contender as long as production doesn't get in her way.

Yeah, I toyed with putting Detox on the list, but I mostly wanted to mention queens that have yet to appear on AS.

Definitely Manila, Eureka, Peppermint, Asia, Divina and Bimini.
To me they're the most well-rounded ones currently and could really add new aspects to the winners circle.

As far as Gigi and Brooke Lynn go, I'm not so sure because there's something missing there. Not just personality (though Gigi showed more than Brooke) but there's a 'meh' element to them. Not taking away their talent of course, they did very well in their season and post-show. But to me there's more spark in the girls I mentionned above that make them more well rounded. And I don't see Gigi or Brooke coming back to the competition, they seem over it.

And if only Katya would do it again. But it makes sense for her not to win? I know it sounds weird, but the runner-up placement suits Katya well Such a joy to watch on screen every single time.

[Tom4784]

Katya's a great personality, but she's not great at Drag Race, I feel. The AS format helped her a lot though.

Also, I dunno if she'd want to compete again.

I know! She said she won't do it again, it was traumatic enough for her the first two times.

[Shaun]

Katya actually said she'd be happy to do it again now, it was in one of her podcasts with Trixie. She says it around the 44 minute mark:

Youtube video

I don't think we need her again though. She's already... literally everywhere at the moment, and is "winning" without winning.

OK thanks Shaun! That wasn't the latest info I had because she said for sure she wouldn't do it again (maybe it was during her psychotic break? idk )

Btw I'm super late on their podcast so I really need to catch up because clearly I'm missing out

[Samm]

Shangela is still deserving and I hope she snatches a win on a future international all stars since I don’t think she’ll come back again for a US version. Katya has had her moment and I feel she’s pretty much established. out of the remaining AS2 girls (excluding one for obvious reasons) Tati and Detox deserve another run for the crown

Other queens apart from the recent obvious being Bimini; Peppermint & Asia come to mind.
