To be honest, when I heard the news about this, I was enraged. The way it was originally presented made it look like this would be replacing the fifth season of the show. I found this both annoying and odd seeing as they just announced they were casting for the next season. Don't worry, though. RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars is a spin off, not the fifth season of the initial show.
After the initial confusion was cleared up, I actually started to get excited about it (even if only six episodes were ordered). I love the queens from the previous season, and after speaking with many of them, I know just how amazing they are. Many of them did not get the time the deserved, and even more of them didn't get portrayed as who they truly are. Second chances exist, and it just so happens in the reality TV world, it's called "All Stars" instead.
No cast has been announced yet, but you do have a say in who gets on it. On the show's new fanpage, Logo is running a poll to see who fans want to see on the show. The top voted queen will be contacted and offered the opportunity. Of course, Ms. Pandora Boxx is topping the list. She was the show's breakout star. I, on the other hand, am pleading for you to vote for my friend The Princess. She was sent home far too early, and she really does deserve her chance to shine.
Regardless of who you vote for, just keep at it. This is a huge chance for all of the previous contestants and they need your support! VOTE!
