The full boot order's been out for a while lol, you've done well to avoid it (I saw several geniuses spamming it in the comment section on the cast reveal video alone)

pm me it tbh

that messy Derrick entrance

I am excited to see all of them bar Ongina. She just really grates on me.

India and Blair are the obvious two underdogs but Blair's elevated a lot since S10 and India is like... beyond revered by Drag Race legends, so I wouldn't write them off. I just hope Mayhem and Mariah have a good showing.

The only spoiler I've heard about this season is to do with the format of how queens win challenges? It all sounds very messy and confusing.

Spoiler:

Apparently there's only 1 challenge winner per episode now, and they have to lipsync against a "lipsync assassin" from previous seasons... I can't recall any of them but yeah... to decide if they get to send the queen home... or if they lose the lipsync, I guess RuPaul chooses? Idk I misread a lot of it so I might as well have shut up and ate my food and waited to see

Oh I heard Smn about that too shaun

The fact Derrick said "ooo I did it again" instead of "oops"

A shame

[Samm]

a scream at derrick saying he's came in to a new image behind the britney impersonator and comes out in costume again ff

[Moniqua]

run Shea ha cheque

[Shaun]

Shea, India and Ongina have the best entrance looks.

Cracker, Blair and Mayhem look fine.

Alexis' is sadly too costumey. As, I guess, is Derrick's.

Mariah and Jujubee... [I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU.m4a]

[Wizard.]

I like the look of the earlier Queens as I didn't watch the first few seasons. Derrick Barry is a scream too

If Shea doesn't win, I think it could either be Jujubee or Ongina?

[Saph]

Juju will be a scream

[Captain.Remy]

Shea looks FINE as a man (and btw so does Asia when I saw him on Celebrity Drag Race)

Either Shea is mad and it's a pity because the fandom is not ready for another Manila moment (imagine Shea getting evicted by Derrick ), or she's playing us all.

I agree there are queens that haven't done THAT well in previous seasons, but they were memorable in their own way. They can really surprise us.

And lastly I guess they will save Asia, Eureka, Kim Chi, Brooke, Akeria, Peppermint for AS6 then That cast will blow!

[Jigs]

I think this is Jujubee's season to lose tbh. Would be a *Sheame* for Shea to miss out again but I'm definitely backing Juju.

[Shaun]

I imagine a lot of the lukewarm reaction to this cast is because there is no queen from the golden-era of the show: S4-6. Or indeed 7 if you like that sort of thing.

[Captain.Remy]

I hope they're not shady and don't evict the big threats so we get a really good and coherent boot order. I haven't read any spoilers, I'm staying tf away from them

But yeah, Jujubee and Shea seem to be the big ones to beat right now.

I read some comments from people being mad because Vanjie, Plastique or Courtney Act aren't there Like damn, Drag Race existed before but okay little twinks.

And possibly there are no queens from the golden era because the previous All Stars series already had a fair share of them, so Ru decided to give the spotlight to others. But damn Derrick Berry ffs

I (and several others, it seems) thought they'd make a bigger deal out of this season being an "old school vs. new school" season to explain the lack of golden era queens, but yeah they've pretty much wrung those seasons dry already... in terms of who I think could feasibly be cast for a future All Stars, there's only Darienne, Jade, Jiggly and maaaybe Dida/Joslyn?

[Wizard.]

I love these AS1 Queens coming back though. Ready for All Stars 8 with Detox, Katya and Shangela

[Shaun]

and Willam

I'd still like Trinity K Bonet (for the lipsync potential), the ones you mentioned, and Ivy Winters is a name that's always on most people's wishlists (I don't care for her much though).

[Daniel-X]

Ongina, Jujubee, Shea and Cracker are the obvious front runners I think, sadly the rest of the cast just seem to be filler but who knows I could be proven wrong!

[MB.]

Alexis defying corona and just making her own promo photo anyway

[reece(:]

Screaming at Derrick coming in with montages of him needing to get out Britney's shadow then doing an Oops tribute...

I'm liking the cast, interested to see what some of the oldies will bring to the table. Shea and Blair too

I can see India getting Thorgy'd, she's beloved by the queens but I reckon production will be gunning for her to get booted earlier.

I assume Derrick, India and Blair will be the first three outs. I think Mayhem, Ongina and Mariah could be dark horses while Jujubee and Alexis will disappoint. If Shea doesn't win then it'll probably be Cracker since all the basic gays love her.
