- Mrs Kasha Davis

Possible:

- Darienne Lake
- Lineysha Sparx

A great cast in my eyes

 

[aaronhansome]

Not many people watched UK Hates the World.

Sure but the people probably paying for Paramount Plus to watch All Stars most likely did. Especially when they were a fairly attention getting contestant! Gotta give it some time, I think.

 

[Lapras]

I can’t wait for the Alexis/Mrs Kasha Davis/Jimbo/Heidi finale.

The potential cast is tightening up now to likely:

- Alexis Michelle
- Heidi N Closet
- Jaymes Mansfield
- Jessica Wild
- Jimbo
- Kahanna Montrese
- Kandy Muse
- Lala Ri
- Monica Beverly Hills
- Mrs Kasha Davis
- Naysha Lopez

I find it interesting that, even with the year’s break from a regular AS season, they’ve seemingly struggled in recruiting finalists back to All Stars outside of Kandy. I imagine a combination of semi-post pandemic opportunities and the more-than-ever mainstream opportunities presented to recent high-performing cast members will be impacting things, but I also question whether a few contestants are really weighing up whether the time and expense of competing (particularly now that WOW seems adamant in pulling Drag Race towards its own platform, away from Netflix and VH1 for AS) is even worth it, particularly when they have stable, paying opportunities elsewhere.

I'll be honest with you, Unless some of these queens have had a severe glow up since their last appearance, I don't see any of them fitting in with the other All Stars winners as far as the level of drag. Like absolutely none of them do I see their name and think "Oh my god, We DESERVE to have them as a winner". And I can't even fathom who production will be pushing as front runners out of this group.

This is a really good point, probably not helped by the fact there’s so few finalists left from the last few seasons who wouldn’t even consider it. Asia is probably one of the most consistently booked Drag Race girls, Kameron is working steadily (and high key probably knows she wouldn’t excel in the AS format), Brooke is a host now, Mik has too many high profile opportunities as you say, and I’m sure Rosé will be back before too long.

The only two outliers are Gigi and Crystal, both of whom you’d expect to see back by now.

Part of me wonders whether they’re deliberately going for some left field picks. I’m sure it wasn’t lost on them that of the AS6 finalists, the two production favourites trailed in popularity behind a queen who had one of the most blatantly negative edits in her original run, and the winner who last competed in The Drag Race Before Time.

Which can only mean it’s Alexis Michelle’s to lose.

I believe in Season 2 Supremacy!

I'd normally agree with you but after watching Trinity, Sonique, and Ra'Jah slay AS6 from left field, I won't be counting anyone out just yet.

 

[JMRGBY]

It's quite interesting that they're asking Jimbo for a US All Stars. It does open the door a little bit for the other franchises to get through too.

 

[Shockbox]

If they are asking international queens for Allstars now then what’s the point of the VS. The World shows?

 

[Syzygyz]

what’s the point of the VS. The World shows?

 

[Jonathan27]

Jessica, Jaymes and Jimbo all have a potentially satisfying route to the crown in that cast.

 

[Martyn]

If they are asking international queens for Allstars now then what’s the point of the VS. The World shows?

There probably won't be loads of international queens who do a US All Stars unless it is shot in another country. Due to working visa issues.

 

[KYLE]

Jimbo better win this!

 

[swim]

The way Ru loved Jimbo so much she's instantly asked her back on an All Stars season... I love that for her

 

[huntypoo]

Team Jaymes!!!

 

[aaronhansome]

I desperately need my dearest baby Jaymes to do well.

 

[JMRGBY]

I’m definitely Team Jaymes. They were done so poorly on their season that this can only go well.

 

[Holly Something]

I can't wait for Alexis to become the 4th crowned queen of Season 9.

 

[2014]

Heidi will win, but I'm worried Jimbo going back into it again so soon is going to get tired really quick......
