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.

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!

billion dollar baby · 26-11-2015 10:52pm

Ooohhhh I missed this. Spill the T. Was it Sharon?

Can you send me a PM so as not to spoil it for others thanks

billion dollar baby · 11-12-2015 3:41am

Rumours going around about Bianca Del Rio entering the Big Brother house in January. I saw publicity pics on Twitter of her posing in front of the Big Brother logo but have no idea if they are real or a hoax.

If true then I think she would be brilliant on there. She has the right amount of sassy and lovable to make the general public love her

Banbha32 · 11-12-2015 9:47am

That would be just awesome. She is TV Gold!!! Couldnt pick a better queen

Rick_ · 11-12-2015 10:50am

The pics were real, because she appeared on "Big Brothers Bit On The Side" with Michelle Visage one night.

I couldn't see her going in to the Big Brother house. I know they have scraped the barrel before with people you may never have heard of, but they were still people you *might* have heard of. Apart from gay people, who in the UK would know or care who Roy Haylock / Bianca Del Rio is?

I'd be very surprised if this happened. Very, very surprised. For starters, Bianca is on tour until 9th January and CBB starts on 5th January, so unless she's a late entrant, she won't be going in on opening night.

billion dollar baby · 11-12-2015 12:30pm

This is the picture I was talking about. I honestly have no idea if it's true but it would be interesting viewing if it was

Rick_ · 11-12-2015 4:08pm

Hmmm, I haven't seen that before. It looks like a mock-up, the line-up is usually only nailed down close to transmission time. Plus, Channel 5 wouldn't do up line-up photos yet in case they leak before launch night. In all honesty, I think that's just a mock-up. I've pretty sure I've seen that picture of Bianca in that same pose/outfit before.

Banbha32 · 11-12-2015 6:45pm

Well i do know Bianca is in London in January as i am going to see her on the 14th at G.A.Y (eeeeek

) which is also the month celeb BB starts (filmed at Borehamwood also in London) so she is at the right place at the right time. But i also saw she had other appearances throughout the month and celeb bb is 3 weeks long so i dont know. Unless looking booked out is a cover because the lineup is so hush hush. Only time will tell i guess

Oh god yes!! Can you imagine? Epic television in the making.

Rick_ · 12-12-2015 6:42pm

Well, she's hardly going to be on the show if she has tour dates before and during the time the show will be on air. They may use her in another capacity, dipping in and out for challenges or something, but I don't see her being a full time housemate.

EDIT - She's in Boombox in Belfast on Wednesday 13th January and has quite a few other dates lined up in January including some in America and Canada, so I'd say she's definitely not gonna be a housemate now.

Rick_ · 18-12-2015 1:03am

Willam has been mentioned by the Daily Mirror as being a possible contestant on BBUK this year, but he was quick to go on Instagram and say he wasn't, but that "we all know which queen is going in". So I take it he has just basically confirmed but not confirmed that Bianca/Roy is going to be a contestant this series?

Ash885 · 20-12-2015 10:55pm

Bianca has been replaced by Manilla in a few gigs so...!

Rick_ · 20-12-2015 11:40pm

Boombox Belfast are still advertising Bianca'a appearance on 13th January and people can buy tickets early. If Bianca has no intention of being there because of BB, they should have rescheduled or cancelled her appearance or not took the booking in the first place as surely BB producers would give a list of dates for potential contestants to keep free.

Oh, and if I went to see Bianca and Manila stood in for a replacement, I'd want a refund!

billion dollar baby · 21-12-2015 2:18am

The plot thickens. So if we take Willam at her word and a queen is going in but it's not Bianca then who is it?

The theme for this season is supposed to be Vaudeville and there is a queen that comes to mind. Jinkx Monsoon? And her January appears to be wide open with no upcoming gigs.

It's all just speculation at this point and it may end up being nobody but it's a bit of fun trying to work it out. For what it's worth Tellymix have released a list of the most likely entrants for this year including all the usual Z Listers from the likes of TOWIE and Geordie Shore and Bianca is included.

Could it be Ru herself? Or possibly one of the UK queens?

RuPaul would never stoop down to that kind of stuff.

Rick_ · 31-12-2015 3:16pm

Bianca was asked at a Q&A in Manchester last night if she was going to be on Celebrity Big Brother. The crowd went wild, she laughed and said "No comment, my lawyers are here". Make of that what you will. I think a lot of people who bought tickets to her shows over here will be pissed if she cancels last minute to do Big Brother.

On a side note, I have a new YouTube channel and am uploading some drag videos on it. The channel name is "pad e Drag" and here is my latest video - the best of Willam on Season 4. Enjoy (and subscribe if you like too!)

EDIT - video fixed, as old one had errors

The Big Brother lineup is out. No Bianca unfortunately.

billion dollar baby · 03-01-2016 11:41am

Link has been deleted?

She really did play up to the rumours then didn't she? Oh well. I suppose the people who paid to see her shows won't be disappointed. It would have been a bit shady to allow people to continue purchasing tickets to see you knowing full well you won't be there. I think she will still have something to do with the show maybe as a task or on the spinoff show?

pl4ichjgy17zwd · 03-01-2016 5:27pm

Here's another article listing them since the one above doesn't seem to work: http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/celebrity-big-brother-2016-line-7111346

Some interesting names in there, even with no Bianca. I often only know one or two but I know a few of these guys.

David Gest

in particular should be great TV
