Only nine? Such a shame. I thought that Darienne Lake was down to participate too?
Very happy about Ben, Trixie & Thorgy though.

I so pleased Milk is back!!. He was too alternative for his season, but Drag Race has changed since then. Its no longer all about being feminine, there are all types of drag in it now. Didnt he wear a beard in his season, got tild off for it and then the next year, they had a beard challenge. Was hoping for Trinity K. Bonet to come back. Laganja must be furious she wasnt asked for all stars 3  |

Aren't there more to be announced? Ru teased the fact he only announced 9 at the end of the show....
Trixie all the way btw.

The hot rumour is Season 1 winner BeBe Zahara Benet is the 10th Queen, but aparently since Ru has said he is ready for a winners All Stars, it will defeat the purpose and so that may of changed before filming.

The Reddit page for the show are convinced it's her because someone was in the crowd for a challenge and said she was there, but they also said Darienne Lake and Vivacious were there so who knows! I for one hope its Bebe because she is the forgotten winner and its almost impossible to find season 1 online so most fans have never seen her. |

Step into the cool, clear waters of Darienne Lake.
Ru’s What’s The Tee podcasts are dreadful lately. He had Chaka Khan on last week which you’d imagine would be interesting and possibly fab but turns out she’s a religious type. I gave up after 15 minutes, it was boring.

Maybe they're setting up a rematch between Bendela and Darienne.

Maybe they're setting up a rematch between Bendela and Darienne. Oh no. The new Alyssa Edward and Coco Montrese neverending story? Anyway I like this cast. I'll watch it mostly for Dela and Milk, but I'm glad to also have Trixie and Kennedy Davenport back. I prefer this cast 1000 times more than the last all stars. |

I remember when the rumoured list came out, I was like "yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, Darienne?! No one wants Darienne back!" 😂😂

I'm on the fence about the line up. I prefer the last one by quite a bit.
I'm only really interested in Trixie, Chi Chi and Kennedy.
Ben and especially Thorgy i found SO annoying in their seasons.

I laughed when Aja was announced too. What a mess, she won't last! That red and orange outfit she tried to get away with was the worst outfit in Ru history, that makeup was god awful!

On the promo for this you can see that Aja has started blending her makeup and as a result looks quite different. She even said so herself in her interview with Michelle Visage. I think that the charm of Chi Chi on her season was her ability to turn cheaper materials into an outfit. Now that she has the funds I’m not sure she will quite as unique as she was, but I’m prepared to be proven wrong. |

UK premier is on Comedy Central 27th Jan. I don’t think it’s on Netflix this time.

I am rather ashamed to admit that I have only recently started watching any Drag Race. It probably is a violation of the Gay Rules or something.
I am catching up quickly - have watched seasons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 9 - and All Stars 1. Currently halfway through 6
I could scream at all the product placement - but I will suck it up for all the gorgeousness

Must admit I've never watched this but obviously knew who Ru-Paul was back in the day.

To be honest, most of my favourites haven't gone on to win I was most annoyed with Tyra winning - she was so far from being the strongest I also never bought into Raja as a winner - she was just walk with no humour I was pleased for Sharon and Sasha - but neither were my favourites. I am just watching the final of season 6 - and again don't really care who wins! I guess I enjoy the process more than the result! |

I agree. It’s definitely more about the race than the finishing line for me. I think it’s the same with all reality shows mainly because they run too long (SCD being a case in point). Interesting that the X Factor cut down the number of shows for the last series, and unless they’re planning for more contestants to come into the show this next Drag Race might be shorter too.

I need to catch up on series 7 and 8 before I can assess things properly, but I feel that they could do with a refresh in terms of the regular challenges. I know the need for a formula - but if it is too predictable in terms of content, there is a lack of surprise and people can go in with a very good idea of what will happen and when. A couple of tweaks would keep it fresh and make contestants rethink their game plans.
Perhaps I need to watch Untucked as well to get the full picture...
But I have already worked out what my drag persona should be - just need to come up with the right name!

Wilma's already taken unfortunately!
I used to love this show, I haven't enjoyed the last couple of years as much but it's still an entertaining watch. It's given us some amazing queens and, of course, all hail RuPaul, who really should be President. Her or Oprah, I can't decide. Maybe they could job-share 😁

Spoilers ahead so don't read if not watched the first ep......
I was surprised to see Morgan go, she is clear streets ahead of Chi Chi. I have some major issues with Ben. He's all about this miss congeniality thing and being nice and fair which his drag character fits but his real self certainly doesn;t as he comes over resting bitch to me and like he's being fake. I mean you can't go round having a go at someone being honest they would send the stronger queen home to give themselves a better chance but then do the exact same thing to said queen! That's just showing true colours. Something rubs me up the wrong way about him/her.
Also this season seems an exact copy of last all stars with the whole "oooh, ru's got a plan for the eliminated queens thing, oooh!" thing.

I agree with the elimination decision, Morgan seemed much more into the competition than Chi Chi and as much as I loved Ch Chi in season 8, she just wasn't all there last night. Although with the bit at the end with Morgan, I wouldn't be surprised if she had an opportunity to get back into the competition! |
