Really though? Violet is amazingly talented... from the moment she did that tartan reveal she was one of the potential winners.

Sorry, but I have to say it. The tartan reveal was not that great. Sorry about it. I know some people thought it was amazing, best thing ever or the likes, but it was one meh looking outfit that unfolded into another meh looking outfit. I wasn't going mad for it like Carson was in the episode. It was a rather boring outfit and I totally don't get the huge reaction it got.

Also, Violet had some good loks, but she relied on body too much and wore lots of corsets or bra and pants sets. Yawn. She also couldn't act her way out of a wet paper bag or sing. I didn't get the huge hype for her at all.

No way - the tartan reveal was amazing! I don't know how anyone couldn't be wowed by it, she even made it herself. Her new music video is one of the best a queen has ever done too.

Well, I, for one, was not. So there!

Is anyone else listening to Willam, Courtney and Alaska's radio show? They've been contracted for six weeks, but fingers crossed they get kept on for longer, because they're hilarious!

Rick_ · 03-07-2015 2:02pm

Haven't listened to it yet, but with Willam and Alaska in it, it has to be hilar. Not a big Courtney fan though, but I could put up with her if I still got plenty of Willam and Allllasssskaaaaaahhhh <tongue pop>

billion dollar baby · 03-07-2015 6:03pm

Didn't know about this. Anyone know where I can listen. Too lazy to google x

Ressurecting this thread from the dusty grave.

Anyone got any All Stars 2 predictions/desires given it's been announced it's happening?

Rick_ · 26-07-2015 10:23pm

It's happening after Season 8, and I imagine it will feature queens from 5-8.

A lot of peoples wish-lists feature Willam (who will likely not be allowed to appear) or queens from the first 4 seasons or previous All Star contestants, which again I don't think they will want/allow.

Katya, Alaska, Detox, Alyssa, Gia Gunn, BenDeLaCreme, Adore, Max, Pearl and 3 queens from Season 8 would be a decent line-up.

At least they have confirmed it won't be teams this time, so either it will be a full season or we mightn't have as many queens competing. Who knows...?

billion dollar baby · 27-07-2015 12:36am

I'm wondering if it would be totally fair to have the likes of Alaska and Adore on it given the fact that they do the Battle of the Seasons tours with Michelle. It wouldnt be impartial and we all know it.

I think they will have some queens from the early seasons on it actually. I've seen some chatter on Twitter about Morgan McMichaels being a favourite. And I think Porkchop Parker will be considered too given she has campaigned for it for ages and Ru and Michelle discussed it on the What's The T podcast. If we are going to make lists then I pick:
Ongina, Porkchop, Morgan, Tatianna, Jessica Wilde, Stacey Layne Matthews, Willam (I know!), Phi Phi, Jiggly Caliente, Detox, Ivy Winters, Gia Gunn (this better happen!!!) Joslyn Fox, Milk, Ben dela Creme, Katya, Jaidynn, Ginger and Trixie.

Any or all of them please will do nicely

Oh and the House of Edwards please. Feck....there's too many great queens that I'd like to see again

Ash885 · 05-08-2015 12:42pm

Ginger has postponed a lot of gigs including her Dublin one in September. Could be a reason? ^^

jobbridge4life · 05-08-2015 1:00pm

I'd love to see Manila Luzon back. She should have won season 3. And I know she was back for the first all stars but given what was happening in her personal life with the death of Sahara Davenport I think it is pretty clear she was't fully present and couldn't give it her all. Funny beautiful and charming. Manila for the win.

Rick_ · 05-08-2015 1:57pm

I think cancelling gigs this early is no indication, after all, they are filming it after Season 8 and surely at least one season 8 queen will be a part of it. It won't be filmed until around the time Season 8 is being broadcast so it can be shown later next year.

Ash885 · 05-08-2015 9:45pm

Are you sure about the filming? I thought it was being filmed the first three weeks of September and would be broadcast after Season 8! Aaah my mistake so. Damn ^^'

StanMcConnell · 05-08-2015 9:53pm

It's being filmed between August 16th and September 22nd, straight after the season 8 filming.

So far, based on cancelled gigs, it's looking like we'll have Alaska, Katya, Alyssa, Ginger, Detox, Leganja, Phi Phi and Adore.

Unfortunately, Willam, Dela, Trixie, Pearl, Gia, Milk are all definitely not on it.

There's rumblings that Kelly Mantle and Porkchop might have been cast, which I would welcome very much, especially Kelly.

Rick_ · 06-08-2015 9:49am

The winner of the TruTV UK drag competition got to be behind the scenes at filming of Drag Race Season 8, and the dates the winner had to be available were between 13th July and 21st August 2015. So, if they aren't finishing up the filming until 21st August, it will be some time after that before they start filming AS2. Plus, there's no way that fans will get to vote on who from S8 they want in the show, so I find it hard to believe AS2 will feature queens from the first 4 seasons, that's what AS1 was for.

I could be totally wrong, but I'd be very surprised and annoyed if AS2 was being filmed soon purely to get it on as quickly as possible and it didn't include S8 queens.

Ash885 · 06-08-2015 10:10am

Willam more or less released a statement flamming WoW and Logo etc. for not asking her on the show given she was front runenr on the fan vote. She said everyone who is being asked has already and that it's pretty easy to see who was askd with gig cancels etc. A lot of people have seen a number (if not all) the fan favourites for AS2 have clearered their listings for the end of August/September. So I'm guessing it will be filmed there.

Maybe S8 won't be given an entry into it?

I cant imagine Kelly will be on it. She was boring and had a horrific look. I would have on dozens of queens before I would consider her eg Mariah, who is hilarious, talented and good for the camera

Interferon Gamma · 06-08-2015 1:31pm

Few other things that suggest it's filming this summer/now are the gaps in Alaska's schedule (which coincide with what the fired producer said about her doing it and it filming right after season 8) and Alyssa Edwards cancelling loads of gigs(She pretty much lives at WoW, so I'd be amazed if she wasn't cast). There was also a press release about Adore cancelling a gig in Mexico to film for All Stars 2 between the end of August and start of September.

Re: Seasons 1-4 the only stuff going for their inclusion is a few leaked texts between Mimi Imfirst and Porkchop wherein Porkchop is alleged to have been cast. RuPaul also said he'd like to include her to pay homage to the first eliminated contestant when he was on Hey Qween last year.

Porkcrop is actually really funny and really charismatic. There is a documentary, that I think may still be on Netflix, called the "the Pageant". He was one of the people in the documentary(Alyssa was in it too). He has beaten Alyssa in some pageant. I think he has even moved to LA, to boost his career.

Season 8 is currently being filmed and All Stars will be filmed immediately afterwards

Rick_ · 10-08-2015 9:20pm

For anyone yet to see All Stars, or would like to see it again, and this time uncensored (hopefully) then TruTV on Sky 198 are showing a double bill of the first 2 episodes tonight at 10pm. Not sure if there is more on tomorrow night or if it is every Monday.

Ash885 · 26-08-2015 10:03pm

Spoilers:

Wll, I think anyway. But some of the queens rumoured/confirmed from All Stars have resurfaced on social media. Safe to say a fw now out of the running for winning

Rick_ · 27-08-2015 12:03pm

Still one of my all time favourite moments in Drag Race herstory

https://vine.co/v/eexE2ZZT9Yv

BonsaiKitten · 28-08-2015 11:26am

A LOT of the queens rumoured to be on are back on social media - too early for them all imo. WOW are just ****ing with the fans and trying to keep some mystery around the whole thing.

Ash885 · 31-08-2015 9:27pm

Anyon else love the fact that out of all the queens, apart from Haus of dwards, Vivacious got so much screen time on VMAs? Even has a picture of her on the New York tims. Hash tag made it xD

billion dollar baby · 01-09-2015 1:54am

Poor Gia Gunn. Always the bridesmaid. The world just isn't ready

Ash885 · 01-09-2015 12:53pm

Apparantly there was a big fight between Porkchop and Vivenne re the VMAs. A lot of the dirty laundry aired over on reddit now!

Banbha32 · 26-11-2015 8:46pm

Best. Show. Ever!

.... Off to see Katya and Detox in G.A.Y tonight for Porn Idol!!!!! Eeeeeeek. Roll on Season 8 queens!

billion dollar baby · 26-11-2015 9:09pm

I really love this thread. It's goes quite when it's not on TV but it's always good for a laugh. I've been watching Untucked on TruTV and it's the first time I've seen most of them as they are so hard to find on the web.

Shouldn't be too long now til we find out the cast for Season 8. Still holding out hope for Mayhem Miller but think she's probably past the point of auditioning now

Ash885 · 26-11-2015 10:45pm

Anyone's thoughts on Alaska's ex posting all the spoilers for All Stars? Talk about being a shadey thing!
