It's here. Finally, it is here. As always, Ru has to be secretive when it comes to his shows. Just like when the "untucked" versions of the queens for season four were released as a teaser, the first season of All Stars will show you every queen -- if you can see in the dark. Check it.
You have to give them credit for creativity. This has to be one of the most interesting teasers I've ever seen -- and that includes last season's robot teaser which was mind blowing. It's nice to see Logo constantly raising the bar and gives me a little faith that All Stars will be a legitimate show instead of a throwaway attempt at making more money (can we say Drag U? Love you Ru!).
The promo comes paired with a contest, of course. Logo is challenging you to guess who the queens are in the promo. We already know that Pandora Boxx will be on the show, but I didn't recognize her in the ad. I did see quite a few queens, and if you frame by frame the video, it is hilariously obvious who these queens are. Could Alexis Mateo be any more obvious?
The other gem of good news was actually a bit understated in the promo. There are going to be twelve contestants instead of the originally proposed 8, meaning we may get a full season out of this. My only concern is that it may be a bit "too soon" for an All Stars season, seeing as there are only fifty-something queens so far (even less if you count out those in gender transition or have quit drag). If they continue to make All Star seasons, they are going to have to dive into the back catalog, that is unless they purposely left out some of the key queens (was I the only one who didn't see a Jujubee silhouette?).
The date is set for "October" -- which will probably be the end the month to torture us, just like making last season premier on January 30 after saying "January" for months. I mean that is practically February. The full cast for All Stars will be announced on August 6th.
My guesses are: Mimi Imfurst, Latrice Royale, and Manila Luzon. Also Alexis Mateo. Come on. SHE IS SO ANNOYINGLY OBVIOUS IN THAT PROMO!
Music, Pop Culture, Television, and (of course) Drag Queens.
I cant wait !!! I wish drag race ran all year long ! Best show ever! Thanks Ru!!
