12 queens who should be on RuPaul’s All Stars Drag Race 2
It’s back, bitches, and it’s about time: RuPaul’s Drag Race is bringing back its biggest and most loved queens for a second season of All Stars.
While we don’t know who’s in the cast quite yet, that hasn’t stopped us from gagging over the possibilities.
We’ve gathered a few of our favorites, and hopefully they have what it takes to snatch the All Star crown from Chad Michaels.
Let’s hope they don’t do it in teams again. But if they do need to form an alliance, we’ve figured out a few groupings they might just benefit from.
The Superstars
Alaska (Season 5)
Alaska has become one of the breakout stars of Drag Race. From her killer album Anus to making everyone say ‘hiiiieee’, she’s had an impact on not only the show but culture at large. With the fans, it’s her crown to lose. But will she fall at the final hurdle?
Her best moment? Lil Poundcake.
Adore Delano (Season 6)
One of the strongest singers ever to come into the competition, she sailed through challenges on the basis of her charisma and talent. While her look wasn’t the strongest, she said she was too punk to wash her tights, so who cares? Party!
Best moment? Her Anna Nicole in Snatch Game. That was eerily good.
The Haus of Edwards
Alyssa Edwards (Season 5)
Alyssa is a den mother to a house of fierce queens, but that’s not her only talent. Her ability to make the most banal things sound hilarious is a gift. While she didn’t get that far, she made a huge impression.
Her best moment? Alyssa’s Secret. It may not have won her the challenge, but it won her a web series.
Laganja Estranja (Season 6)
Now hear me out, okurrr?! Laganja and her death drops is a big part of Drag Race. She’s annoying but lovably so. And how often have you quoted her without realising it?
Her best moment? I FEEL VERY ATTACKED.
Shangela (Season 2, 3 and 4)
But Shangela is someone that needs to return. A fierce dancer and an even fiercer competitor, this would be her fourth season to make an appearance. Someone that defines Drag Race so much needs to be an All Star. But maybe they’re waiting until she gets sewing lessons?
Her best moment? *pops out of a box* ‘Hallelu ladies!’
The Miss Congenialities
Ben Dela Creme (Season 6)
If the first All Stars is any indication, it’s look set for the queens that won Miss Congeniality to win. One of the most endearing competitors, she made us laugh at her Maggie Smith and cry when she revealed she struggled with her mental health.
Best moment? Her Maggie Smith at Snatch Game. Trinity as Nicki Minaj: ‘Ru, can yo get people that speak English next time?’ Ben as Maggie: ‘Excuse me, we originated the language!’
Ivy Winters (Season 5)
Ivy is a circus performer that didn’t get to show all of her skills on the show. During the Battle of the Seasons tours, she’s quick changed, walked on stilts and ate fire. She needs to return for more gagging tricks.
Best moment? Walking out on stilts on the runway.
Katya (Season 7)
Katya struggled to make her voice heard in the competition, but came alive in the latter half. Her Divine inspired acting challenge was flawless and her Russian Hello Kitty doll was hilarious. Knowing now what she’s capable of? Bitches better beware.
Best moment? Her killer lip sync performance against Kennedy. Leg-splitting amazingness.
And the Off Beats
Porkchop (Season 1)
Porkchop was the first queen to sashay away in the first ever episode of Drag Race. While the show has taken an even more campy turn, she is a legend on the pageant circuit. She should return to give us more meat to chew on.
Best moment? ‘Hey Porkchop!’ – Ru at every reunion ever.
Jiggly Caliente (Season 4)
May we call her Jiggly?
May we call you Jiggly? Screwed over by Phi Phi (‘you were my dog, man!’), Jiggly deserves another chance to shake her prosthetic legs on the runway.
Best moment? Baked potato apocalyptic realness.
Joslyn Fox (Season 6)
Joslyn should have really won Miss Congeniality, considering she was the most genial contestant ever. While her look was pretty much a few bikinis and that’s it, she was incredibly talented. Ooh, shiny penny!
Best moment? Her 1950s scream queen – ‘gasp!’
Willam (Season 4)
And Willam. While World of Wonder are probably living in fear should Willam ever turn back up on the set, it wouldn’t be an All Stars season without her.
The first queen to get disqualified, she might not be the greatest friends with Logo’s lawyers, but they should know Willam has done them huge favors. With her viral video hits, she’s undoubtedly brought a lot of fans to the show.
Dry and devastating, this is one queen that defines stardom.
Best moment? ‘What did Willam do?’
But what do you think? Who would you like to bring back for a second All Stars season? Let us know below.
