right?

Like she wasn't funny
she couldn't dance (that pairing with Kennedy for the weird body-split task was just her making it rain and 'twerking' lol)
she couldn't act
she couldn't sing
she couldn't lipsync
she wasn't particularly nice
she didn't even have that good runway looks? like a neckbrace for death becomes her? that hello kitty onesie?
her one stand-out moment was trixie's comeback conjoined twin look and i VERY much doubt that was pearl's idea

she sucks in every department. she was just cute out of drag. done with ha.

[Pete.]

Pearl's lipsyncing gives me nightmares

[Smithy]

did y'all ever listen to the "Whats the Tea" podcast with Ru and Michelle, where Ru said he was SO close to telling Pearl to back his bags and gtfo, when they were in the workroom and Pearl said "do i have something on my face"

he should have done it, it woulda made the series 10000x better

T from Reddit

Adore Delano - Canceled a gig scheduled for September 5th. Talked on a podcast about "taking some time off at the end of August to relax." Has been replaced by Fame and Sharon.

Alaska - Rescheduled some gigs, her schedule is open at the suspected time, bitter producer that was fired said she was on, and it's Alaska. Duh she's gonna be on.

Alyssa Edwards - Pretty much the same reason as Alaska.

Katya - Pretty much the same reason.

Laganja Estranja - A certain user emailed her manager asking to book her for September, and the manager replied she would not be available until around September 22.

Phi Phi O'Hara - Canceled a high profile gig at a GenCon.

Victoria Porkchop Parker - Supposed T about arguments between Porkchop and Mimi that a user posted which contained screenshots of texts from Mimi to Porkchop stating that Porkchop needed to stop telling people that she has been casted on AS2. The post has since been deleted. Shaky as to whether Porkchop is really on or not.

Ginger Minj - Has canceled gigs from August 15-September 11.

Detox - Has canceled a gig scheduled for August 23, has been replaced by Violet Chachki.

Confirmed/Suspected Not On:
Milk - Currently has a gig at the end of August in Mexico, I believe.

Ben Delacreme - Still has gigs scheduled around the country for Terminally Delightful during the filming dates.

Miss Fame - Filling in for Adore's gig above.

Pearl - Has multiple gigs during the filming dates.

Willam - Has been very vocal about the fact that she has not been asked.

April Carrion - Still has a gig for August 26 in Indianapolis. As an Indiana person, I'll try to keep updated on that.

Stacey Layne Matthews - Still has a gig for September 4 in Indianapolis.

Trixie Mattel - Multiple gigs during filming.

Morgan McMichaels - Currently has a gig in Nashville on 8/21.

Gia Gunn - Current gig in Florida for 8/22.

Courtney Act - gigs August 18th, 19th and 20th, + with the Glamcocks at Burning Man September 2nd (Info by /u/LucTempest)

I am also guessing that there will be 12 contestants. I have no basis for that guess, other than the possibility that there will be 8 episodes, and I am pretty confident they will not be having a full season with 14 queens. So, according to this list, we are looking out for 3 more queens, potentially 4 if the Porkchop T is fake. I am still pulling for Ongina, Delta, and Max.

I really hope she's on, she's improved so much since the show and is much more polished now

Bob The Drag Queen is my pre-show S8 fave

She's going to be overlooked because she's already been there twice </3

Although a small part of me thinks World of Wonder would never pass up all the House of Edwards members in one season so there's hope! I'd take Shangie over Ganja tbh

[Xtopher]

All the rumored s8 queens are back as of today.

Welp not ha telling Michelle to kill haself

[Headie]

All Stars 2 is filming now, this is the rumoured cast:

Spoiler:

[Pete.]

NOT TATIANA <3

[Pete.]

Not really here for Ginger but shes much better than most Season 7's (btw Miss Fame has cancelled an Australian gig so expect her as a last minute addition for some reason).

Also strongly rumoured is Ganja and Shangela and the House of Edwards are going to be a group or something.

[Xtopher]

add Ongina to that list too.

[Pete.]

Not here for Roxxxy either because I know Michelle will force Ru to keep her in until the end meaning much more deserving sickening queens will go over her AGAIN

[Pete.]

Queen!

[Xtopher]

Laganja dropped out in the last minute. Coco is also rumored so I guess that was her replacement.

[Headie]

Ongina is apparently in Brazil rn though and is active on twitter I hope she's on though

Bye @ them getting Ralaskatox but not Haus of Edwards

Also who is that bottom left?
