RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 2, This Thursday!
This Thursday at 8 pm EST the RuPaul’s queens return! Hosted on Logo, RuPaul’s Drag Race will be airing the first episode of their second All Stars season. This isn’t any ordinary drag race – these girls are chosen from previous seasons for their divine charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent! These girls all displayed their own forms of drag in ways that resonated with the show’s viewers and their many fans, but none of these girls ended up as winners for their race season. Now, they are granted another chance at winning the title of America’s Next Drag Superstar.
This season will also differ from the last All Stars such that it has been confirmed that there will be no teams. Every queen for herself! The elimination rules are also different this time around – instead of Ru and her judges deciding who gets eliminated, the contestants will be eliminating each other. Many of these contestants have competed against each other in past seasons and have formed friendships and alliances, making the new rule constructs undeniably more intense!
The judges
The returning judges (as highly anticipated) will be Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, and of course, Ru Paul herself. We welcome Todrick Hall as a permanent newcomer to the judges panel as well, replacing Ross Matthews.
