Yes it's FINALLY that time when we get
the second all stars edition of Rupaul's Drag Race. Who will follow
in the footsteps of the transformative Chad Michaels? Well the season
2 cast has been confirmed and it's a solid crew.
First we have Alyssa Edwards *tongue
pop*. The 6th placer in season 5 of Rupaul's Drag Race
has become one of the most successful queens following the show. With
her own show “Alyssa's Secret” still going strong on WOWPresents,
and performances being met with millions of views, it's no wonder
Alyssa has been included, there would have been an outcry if she
wasn't present. Her facial fierceness, unintentionally funny quips
and killer choreography have catapulted her to stardom with even
Miley Cyrus being a fan. She may not have got as far as any of the
other queens in the cast in their respective seasons, but let's hope
she goes further and smashes it. An early exit would be
disappointing.
Second up we have Phi Phi O'Hara. A
runner up from Season 4, this bitch has been busy. Her 365 days of
drag series has seen Phi Phi show off unique look after beautiful
unique look which she's received big praise for. Playing on her
perception following Season 4, she may be out to show, not only how
much she's grown, but also that she's a softie at heart and not the
cutting serious queen that consumed her in Season 4. Phi Phi is a
very talented queen. She can sing, dance and make amazing garments.
Don't be surprised if Phi Phi takes the crown this season.
Next we have Ginger Minj. One of the
two most recent participating queens in the cast, Ginger will be out
to snatch the crown this time around, as in Season 7, she was the
expectant winner for the vast majority of the season before Violet
Chachki came through for the win. Ginger is mostly known for her
funny side. Her impression of Adele in Snatch Game and performance in
the John Waters challenge still live on for fans and with equally
impressive turns in All Stars 2, Ginger could take the crown many
thought she deserved in Season 7.
Fourth up we have Roxxxy Andrews.
Runner up in Season 5, Roxxxy always impressed with her runway. Raja
and Raven are always living for her looks and claim she should have
won Season 5. People forget just how funny and talented Roxxxy was on
her season, as her nastier streak slightly soured her time on Drag
Race. Let's hope her pure talent shines through alone this time, and
people see her for the amazingly accomplished queen she really is.
Fifth we have Katya. Another most
recent participating queen, Katya is a massive fan favourite, and
has revelled in her left of centre fashion and humour. Her successful
new show Unhhhhhhh with Trixie Mattel is probably the most popular
show on WOWPresents right now and fans will be hoping for equally
funny moments in All Stars. Not just known for her comedy but also
her flexibility, Katya has the potential to pull off some amazing
performances that maybe we will get to see in All Stars. Someone who
many call the true winner of Season 7, will she take the crown this
time to truly win once and for all?
Season 5 favourite Detox is another
popular queen taking part in all stars 2. The Season 5 4th
placer and DWV member will be hoping to make the final and win this
time after just narrowly missing out on the Season 5 finale. Funnily
enough she stole the show at the finale with her now classic black
and white look. With looks of that level on all stars 2, surely Detox
will take the crown. As equally funny as she is fashionable, Detox is
a threat in the competition who could outshine her fellow Rolaskatox
members to be Chad Michaels successor.
Surely one of the, if not the favourite
to win All Stars 2 is Ms Alaska Thunderf**k. Runner Up in Season 5,
Jinkx Monsoon just pipped her to the crown, but following Drag Race
Alaska has been so successful. She released her album Anus with
massive songs like Your Makeup Is Terrible, Nails and Anus itself.
Her Brolaska series with her seriously hot brother Cory is still
racking up the views on WOWPresents. She's an American Apparel Ad
Girl with Willam and Courtney Act, and she's one of the go to girls
of Drag Race if you want to know how to be successful following the
show's run. Is there anything she can't do? Being a heavy favourite
to win the crown for All Stars 2 will definitely put a big pressure
on your shoulders. Can she do it? Of course she can. Will she do it?
With such a talented cast, nothing is for certain. What is for
certain though is that Alaska is one of the most popular girls in
this cast. Will she live up to the expectations of her fans?
Way back from Season 2, which was 6
years ago believe it or not, is the stunningly beautiful Tatianna.
Tatianna could be one of the most interesting queens to watch now, as
she has had the longest time since competing on the race to come
back. Will she show a big improvement? What we do know is that the
face will be beat for the gods, she'll be look sickening and she'll
be ready to take the crown and make the top 3 that she just missed
out on in Season 2. Seeing her triumph would be a surprise
considering how low her profile is compared to the other queens of
the all stars season, but who wants the expected? No one, so Tatianna
picking up the crown would be a great underdog win we'd all love.
Second last we have Coco Montrese. The
5th placer and Alyssa Edwards rival, Coco showed her
stunning beauty in Season 5 and went far in the competition. Possibly
placed in the competition to set a round 2 battle with Alyssa, we
know since then that they are in fact friends so a bitter rivalry
could come across completely contrived. The successful pageant queen
is professional from head to toe and knows how to turn heads and
impress judges, so her success in All Stars 2 would be hardly
surprising. Will she able to go far in such a showstopping cast?
We'll have to wait and see, but something you do know is that Coco is
going to bring some major spice to the competition, that i'm looking
forward to.
Last but not least is Season 6 runner
up Adore Delano, and what a career she's had since Drag Race. She
released two successful studio albums in Til Death Do Us Party and
Afterparty with songs like I Adore U, DTF and I Look F***in' Cool all
having millions of views to their name. Known for her punk rock drag
chic, Adore is effortless is her look but her perfomances are always
packed with passion and beautiful big vocals. With such a charismatic
personality, Adore is one of the most likeable queens in the line up,
but personality can only get you so far. She got off to a rough start
in Season 6, and this season will be more unforgiving so can she
survive amongst such polished queens? Well she's polish remover
bitches, so I'm thinking, ummm yeah, but achieving success is going
to be hard in this cast of all stars.
So tell me who's your favourite and who
your predicted top 3 is in the comments
