Then the season 9 top 4 winners circle will be complete. _ A non-elim series will only work if you have an actual all stars cast - so those who finished high on their season. Granted some of the rumoured queens above would be really good/have had big glow ups or were amazing queens who got chopped early (April Carrion & Acid Betty). I think they should do a point system: Top 2 lip sync win = 5 points Top 2 = 3 points High = 2 points Safe = 1 point Low = 0 points Bottom 2 = -1 point Bottom 2 lose lip sync = -2 points Could make for an interesting season. They could also do a week or two where it's double points, so -4 points to 10 points for the week (possibly shake up the entire leaderboard).

I’m in two minds about there being a non-elim season, as it sort of takes the glean from an All Winners format, but maybe if they could get some big names although I don’t think Kim Chi should come back as I don’t think Drag Race shows off her skillset outside of design challenges.

Joined: 24 September 2008 Posts: 35,905 User: 7,117	Lol there's no way this will wind up being the cast going by who they've roped it recently - this is WAY too strong! It's giving wishlist. I'd genuinely be surprised to see any of the following: Kim Chi Peppermint Asia O’Hara Vanjie Nina West Plastique Tiara Gigi Goode Rosé Here for a switch up in format though, the elimination process that All Stars have had for yonks now is definitely growing tired.

I was thinking this or maybe partial non elim, like they could do elimination checkpoints after every few episodes or something, that way the queens get a while to showcase a range of skills and looks, but there are still some stakes so we’re not watching it bored with no eliminations and there isn’t just say some random early out bombing everything and being dragged through 10 episodes They definitely need a shake up and there is a few ideas that could work or be interesting.

thanks for being a sarcy lil bitch Joined: 25 September 2007 Posts: 79,320 User: 4,397	i think they will keep the Top 1 with lip sync assassins format moving forward, it's a lot more dramatic with less wins being available.

Interested by some of these names though particularly Peppermint and April Carrion!

Brown cow, stunning! Joined: 7 December 2009 Posts: 67,222 User: 10,139	I agree on Jorgeous, especially as a lipsyncer she was so overrated No face served, no vibes felt, just splits and stunts 😍

Brown cow, stunning! Joined: 7 December 2009 Posts: 67,222 User: 10,139	Final cast seems to be 8, which makes sense for non elim: Angeria Paris Van Micheals Gottmik Jorgeous Kameron Michaels Nina West Plastique Tiara Roxxxy Andrews Vanessa Vanjie Mateo The fan wish list casts predictably turned out to be wrong, not sure about this bunch with non elim… plastique and Kameron having a yawn off… I am so excited for Gottmik though, I think she will DOMINATE as she can do pretty much everything (except lipsync lmfao bur even Jimbo could win one in AS8!), also there is speculated to be more design challenges this year due to the writers strike impacting filming so I wouldn’t count Roxxxy out.

BuzzJack Gold Member Joined: 25 July 2016 Posts: 4,380 User: 23,471	There has to be another format that isn’t the current one nor non-elimination. Who wants to see Jorgeous struggle through an entire season?

Retroactively that takes away their 'special' season status. Hard agree on Jorgeous and I don't care for Gottmik buying her way through another season again. They better critique them if its non elim.

Brown cow, stunning! Joined: 7 December 2009 Posts: 67,222 User: 10,139	Honestly I didn’t even like non elim for All Winners I know they had to and would have felt wrong sending them home, but after about 4 or 5 episodes, it got stale and felt like there wasn’t much point to challenges, As I said I feel like like they should do maybe a points system and maybe have “checkpoints” for eliminations a few times in the season. That way it’s different, and it means that the queens get to do a few challenges of different types then get eliminated, rather than just going first week because it happens to be a weakness for them. And then there is still some kind of stakes to it, like you have to do well at various challenges not just get a couple of wins in a design challenge and then do nothing Or maybe everyone starts with idk 2 or 3 points/stars and being in the bottom you lose a star and if you get to 0 you’re eliminated. Just something where the queens get a chance to show a range of things they can do, but there is still a competition where you have to bring it every week and there’s high stakes. Angeria and Gottmik are the only really versatile ones, and even then neither of them are good lipsyncers. Even then I think Angeria can do well at most things but I don’t see her winning lots. Roxxxy I can see eating all of the looks challenges, of which there will likely be more as I said. So to see a cast like this have to do every challenge, when you’ll have Nina flopping all the design challenges, Jorgeous flopping… everything and Plastique/Kameron having a yawn off i suppose Vanjie with might get some comedy/improv wins if she hones it in but I feel like she’s an Alyssa type where she’s fun and good TV but such a big/unique personality that she can’t always put that away for acting/improv type challenges.
