Posted July 17, 20223 yr The eighth season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars has yet to be officially announced, but is heavily rumored to have begun filming in early July 2022. These queens are rumored to be filming All Stars 8, as many of them have notably disappeared from social media and their in-person gigs during time of the filming, beginning July 2022. Alexis Michelle (Season 9), (5th Place) Darienne Lake (Season 6), (4th Place) Heidi N’ Closet (Season 12), (6th Place) Jaymes Mansfield (Season 9), (14th Place) Jessica Wild (Season 2), (6th Place) Jimbo (Canada Season 1), (4th Place), (UK Vs The World) (7th Place) Kahanna Monstrese (Season 11), (14th Place) Kandy Muse (Season 13) (Runner-Up) Mrs Kasha Davis (Season 7), (11th Place) LaLa Ri (Season 13), (10th Place) Monica Beverly Hillz (Season 5), (12th Place) Naysha Lopez (Season 8), (9th Place) * If the cast rumors are true, this will be the first All Stars season... * ...to only include one Runner-Up, Kandy Muse. * ...to not include a queen from a previous All Stars season since All Stars 4. * ...to be primarily made up of queens that did not advance far in their original season. * If the cast rumors are true, this will be the second All Stars season... * ...to include a queen from an international season, Jimbo. * ...to cast a queen that appeared as a Lip Sync Assassin on a previous season, Jessica Wild and Heidi N Closet. NOTE: Linesya Sparkx & Plastique Tiara have been removed from the list & are confirmed to not be apart of the cast. Edited July 27, 20222 yr by Nina West
July 17, 20223 yr I’ve heard they are all pretty much confirmed however a lot of sources are saying Plastique has been debunked. I think it’s a very good cast, a lot of drama love/hate queens such as Darienne, Alexis, Kandy and Jimbo. Then queens that didn’t really get a chance to shine like they should have - Mrs Kasha Davis, Jaymes Mansfield, LaLa Ri, A few early outs who I think will have improved massively but maybe need more of a following like - Naysha, Kahana, Monica and Lineysha and then two that a lot of people have been wanting on - Heidi and Jessica I like that it’s gonna be a mixed bag of people, could go anyway !
July 17, 20223 yr i'm so excited to see Darienne, think Alexis could surprise us and be an actual stand out star too! it's a mixed bag in that there are so many queens who were kinda overlooked in their seasons that i'm super excited to see, but nobody screams ALL STARS WINNER. and any chance to see jimbo is A+++ in my books
July 17, 20223 yr Already envisioning the Jimbo, Plastique and Heidi as finalists but the other spot is deffo more open- would love to see Jessica take it!
July 17, 20223 yr Great cast! Most excited for Jimbo, Darienne and Kasha. I would be very surprised if Heidi didn't go far too, Ru loves her. Neutral to Kandy Muse. I would hope she doesn't get the favouritism push she got in her original season. If she doesn't, I'm here for her, but I would fear for her starting drama with queens I like or something.
July 17, 20223 yr Really excited based on the cast. I really hope Darienne Lake and Mrs Kasha Davis get a good edit/run on the show! Quite a lot of strong queens too. Imagine Alexis Michelle winning though. She is a really strong queen and it was mainly her runway(s) that let her down in season 9. If she gets the runways right this time round she may have a really good shot at the crown. Could be the 4th winner from season 9 (Sasha/Shea/Trinity). If she does win I need Peppermint to get on an All Stars season and win to make it 5 winners from season 9.
July 18, 20223 yr I really don't have it in me to watch Kandy again so unless she's early out, I'm good with not watching this series tbh.
July 18, 20223 yr Kandy as an early out please!!! I very much doubt that would happen, definitely see her getting at least halfway if not the final
July 18, 20223 yr IF this is the real cast, I could see it going something like this - 14th - Monica Beverly Hillz 13th - Naysha Lopez 12th - Lineysha Sparx 11th - Jaymes Mansfield 10th - LaLa Ri 9th - Mrs Kasha Davis 8th - Plastique Tiara 7th - Darienne Lake 6th - Jessica Wild 5th - Jimbo 4th - Kandy Muse 3rd - Kahanna Montrese 2nd - Alexis Michelle Winner - Heidi N’ Closet This will probably be completely incorrect predictions when/if it comes to it but hey ho. I still have an awful feeling Jimbo won’t make the finale again, especially if they stick to the same format with other girls voting and she continues to piss people off. I also have a feeling Jaymes and Kasha won’t get too far even though they are personally two of my ultimate faves but I don’t think a lot of the challenges work for them. Definitely see Kandy and Alexis getting further as they both bring drama and U think maybe get a redemption story line. I see Kahanna getting a Kylie/Rajah type glow up as i’ve heard she is absolutely killing it outside of drag race so I see her being a front runner. But I think it’s definitely Heidi’s to lose, Ru loves her, she’s a fan favourite, kills most of the challenges and her looks are on point now so
July 18, 20223 yr Given All Stars 6 changed my perceptions of quite a number of Queens, I'm happy to give Kandy a second go. I mean Silky and Ra'Jah were redeemed so much during AS6... same with Kylie too. As line ups go, I'm excited - especially to see how the early outs go. But still no April Carrion....
July 19, 20222 yr Honestly Jimbo I can see like 7th, as soon as there's girl groups or a Rusical she's toast surely but then Ru will end up pulling some bullshit and keeping her out of the bottom
July 19, 20222 yr Ru actually liking Jimbo is something I never imagined happening but am so grateful for. I hardly ever like Ru's pet favourites.
July 19, 20222 yr I think Lineysha Sparx could be a massive threat. She was one of the front runners on season 5 before her elimination and had a lot of good/great looks. I can only imagine the looks she would give this time round with all the extra years behind her! *_*
July 20, 20222 yr Nah me too! Ru LOVED her and I’d be very surprised if there wasn’t at least a bit of riggory to save Jimbo, but short of bringing in Charlie Hides it’ll be impossible for Jimbo to nab any lipsync wins :lol:
July 21, 20222 yr I agree Jimbo probably has been cast to win however it doesn’t always work out that way does it - take Shangela, Ben, Manila/Latrice for example. Obviously all didn’t win for different reasons. I see Jimbo going down the Manila route, absolutely killing it but rubbing people up the wrong way and no doubt getting the ‘life’s not fair’ chop as soon as she gets in the bottom.
