Michael Marouli says it’s “about time” for Drag Race UK All Stars: “I’m coming for blood!”
Michael Marouli reveals that she will ‘come for blood’ on a potential season of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK All Stars. In an interview with GAY TIMES, the Northern entertainer correctly says it’s “about time” for the British franchise to receive an All Stars equivalent (UK vs the World doesn’t count…) because of the sheer “calibre of queens” that have been introduced over six seasons. “It would go off.
I think it would be so successful, so huge. Can you imagine seeing all those personalities back together on our screen? Especially queens that didn’t get the crown?” says Michael, before naming fan-favourites such as season two alumni A’Whora, Bimini and Tayce. “Yeah, a UK All Stars would be incredible.
If the gay gods are listening, the drag gods, the powers-that-be, we want a UK All Stars.” Michael memorably competed on the fifth season of Drag Race UK, delivering a plethora of iconic moments such as her brutal roast and touching makeover of Switchboard volunteer Peter, as well as her Disaster Class with fellow finalists Tomara Thomas and Ginger Johnson. (Uhh-huh, ergh-huh!) After winning three maxi-challenges, Michael placed runner-up to Ginger in one of the tightest races the franchise has ever seen. “I had such a fire in my belly and I wanted it so much,” she explains. “Not winning the crown poured gasoline on the fire.
So now I’m like, ‘Get me back on All Stars, get me the crown and let’s have a ball!’ I’m coming for blood, baby.” However, Michael admits that she would “hate” to participate in the spin-off’s twist, which sees the top All Star of the week send one of the bottom queens’ packin’ with the reveal of their lipstick. “How do you do that?” she says. “People are like, ‘It’s the game, you play it.’ But how can you physically say, ‘I’m crushing your dreams’?
