“Frontrunner” isn’t applicable here: all 12 of these queens have the potential to take home the crown. C’mon All Stars, let’s get global!
WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN Just when you thought RuPaul’s Drag Race couldn’t possibly get more gaggy than a Quarter Quell-inspired all-winners season (albeit with less blood but more shade), the franchise announces – insert drum roll here for dramatic effect – a global edition of All Stars.
Admittedly, we were highly stumped as to how this spin-off would differentiate itself from UK and Canada vs the World, both of which include former Drag Race contestants from across the globe.
Looking at this line-up, however, we get it. If this rumoured list is to be believed (let’s be real, the rumours are always spot on), then RuPaul has collected one fierce player from each international franchise (bar Holland and Thailand) to duke it out in a global arena and the title of, erm, well we’re not quite sure as ‘Queen of the Mothertucking World’ is already taken.
