Posted April 12Apr 12 Premieres 9th May! This season has 18 QUEENS - the largest cast in Drag Race history!
April 12Apr 12 Coming much sooner than I thought!!! Super excited! Or maybe my perception of time is warped as I just looked at AS9 premiered in May last year - feels like only yesterday!The season is going to be interesting!
April 12Apr 12 I wish they'd stop chopping and changing the format of All Stars and just give us a good regular season of it. Excited to see the cast nonetheless and hopefully I can actually stick with it this time as I have dipped out of All Stars early the last few seasons.

April 23Apr 23 Bracket 1 is full of... choices. I'm excited for Bosco, but apart from that I really couldn't care less about most of them really. It's good to see a couple queens back from the early seasons and I recall finding Phoenix enjoyable when I first watched season 3 despite her being an early out lol, but hmm we'll see. It's been so long since I've watched season 2 I can barely recall Nicole, but that intro was decent so again we'll see. Give me Nina, Tammie, Tatianna, Pandora.The two that annoy me the most though are Ginger and Jorgeous, like okay sure Jorgeous isn't quite as bad as Ginger but she's legit just been on the previous AS season if you're gonna bring back anyone from AS9 make it Roxxxy or Plastique lol xThat said, I'm really excited for Denali, Alyssa, Kerri, Mistress and Lydia!
April 23Apr 23 Ready for this mess. Most excited for Bosco, Irene, Daya, Denali, Mistress and honestly Jorgeous (wasn't a fan after S14 but grew to love her on AS9). It seems insane for Lydia to come back so soon but there is definitely something about her being so fresh in our minds making me more intrigued so I'm really rooting for her to do well!
April 23Apr 23 I’m honestly most excited for Aja, I say this like WEEKLY at this point if not more but she should have won AS3 and she’s someone I never expected would come back. For her to come back with the trans glow, finally her true self and her happiest, I cannot wait to see it.Obviously Mistress is a given she had to do All Stars as soon as possible, also can’t wait to see Lydia (initially I was so baffled she even got cast but by the end of her S17 run she proved herself truly), Boaco, Nicole and Daya, and Jorgeous idc, I’d gladly see her do about 7 more seasons and not complain.Some of these are very much choices and it feels like they’re just filling up slots to get to the format they wanted, and this could have been a stellar normal All Stars cast, but with the older lesser known names I think it’s just great to even see them again and we don’t know what they’ll bring with 15 years under their belt in some cases. Honestly it’s Kerri I think they are SCRAPING with, no shade but they could barely do anything on their own season let alone All Stars.
April 23Apr 23 Here for a Denali S L A Y A G E and I will accept nothing less than that!Ginger appearing in 30% of all AS seasons sounds insane :')

April 23Apr 23 It does feel like they're on a mission with Ginger bringing her back again. And either way I feel like I'm not gonna enjoy it if she does win then meh, she just really does not scream winner to me, and if she doesn't win she'll undoubtedly be back for AS14.
April 23Apr 23 I was always confused seeing the format rumours and what not but seeing the the promo, meet the queens I do really understand the format now, so phew

For me it depends if they’ve “peaked” or had a satisfying conclusion to their Drag Race storyline. Like Cheryl coming back for a 4th time is an example where I think it would make sense after she really had a glow up and was kind of robbed on CanVTW due to the format. And I didn’t really mind Alexis or Jujubee coming back because AS5 was kind of a mess and they had more to give but Ginger had such a good run on AS6 that made up for AS2. There isn’t really a storyline to build on and whilst I do love her and she is excellent at Drag Race, I just don’t see why she is back?
April 23Apr 23 Ginger making it to the final twice already and coming back, with Jorgeous, who literally just competed in a non-elimination seasonNo thank you — the reception to their casting so far seems as equally baffled as me
April 23Apr 23 Honestly I really like the casting for the most part! Great to see some of the older queens come back to showcase themselves some more. Looking forward to Acid Betty's Runways! *_*Bit over Jorgeous and Ginger being there. I swear if Ginger wins and then goes on to compete in the next All Winners season Really excited to see Irene *_* She's such a great queen and I hope she gets to show off more than making ice water this season Nice to see the likes of Daya Betty & Bosco back too. Also looking forward to Mistress and Aja!Some really big personalities in the mix - I hope we get a lot of drama.Interesting to see how this season plays out. It could either be a chaotic dramatic fever dream of a season in an amazing way or just a mess lolEdit: Oh and also Cynthia!! Edited April 23Apr 23 by Envoirment

April 24Apr 24 The pick of queens is great even though personally I think 18 is a bit much, the first act of this season is gonna really play to my overstimulation 🥴It is WAY too early for Jorgeous to have a second All Stars appearance and Ginger has been appearing wayyyyyy too much. I would have preferred another AS3 queen appearing and maybe another late 2010’s queen. Surprised we haven’t gotten any S12 queens asked back other than Jan and Jaida, I do have to wonder if a return for any of them is in the cards considering how that season was mostly hindered by the controversy and later the pandemic. It must have been a taxing time for them.rooting for my girl Denali 😍😍😍 also interested to see the early outs and what kind of potential they could bring unless they were only cast to have a believable first boot like Serena Cha Cha

It must have been a taxing time for them.Heidi N Closet was on All Stars 8 but quit. Nicky Doll will likely never do an All Stars as she's the host of Drag Race France.Widow Von'Du will likely never be called at all due to being charged with domestic abuse. Crystal is likely at some point - particularly with Daya Betty on AS10. I think Crystal & Daya probably wanted to avoid being on the same season together (they're drag sisters). Gigi Goode has said she is open to the idea/never say never, but she's been really busy with a lot of other projects so hasn't had time the last couple years. Perhaps in a few years time.Jackie Cox would be great. I'm not sure she's said anything against it. Wouldn't be surprised if she appears on one in the next few years.Sherry Pie... Never happening.Dahlia Sin will likely do it when called. She's grown a lot. She was likely waiting for Kandy to go on as well so they wouldn't compete against each other.Brita Filter I don't think will come back. She had a really difficult time with fans after S12 to the point she suffered really poorly mentally. She unforutnately ended up going down the route of alcohol and a suicide attempt. She also suffered a heart attack at one point. It's really sad actually. Brita is mainly focusing on herself and well being and so I don't think she would ever go back to Drag Race - her drag career has been going well for her as well from what I can tell. Aiden Zhane I'm not sure. They haven't really done well outside the show and were putting drag on the back burner last year. Which is a shame as I liked her aesthetic and her finale look was great for S12. I think she might jump at the opportunity of All Stars if called though as it could be a way for her to gain more success. Rock M. Sakura will likely do it at some point. I think they were asked for AS8 but declined at the time.
