RuPaul's Drag Race International All Stars Season 1 Cast Prediction
As RuPaul's Drag Race has become the blossoming global phenomenon it is today, rumors of an "International All Stars" season have been fanned by fans and potential contestants alike. Since Drag Race's 2009 premiere, RuPaul has produced an empire of cross-continental spin-offs in countries including the UK, Thailand, Canada, and Holland. With RuPaul's Drag Race UK's finale cementing one of Drag Race's most popular seasons yet, fans are eager for a worldwide All Stars series to unite beloved drag queens from the several countries RuPaul has mined for charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent. Luckily, a franchise of this sort appears to be closer to fact than fiction following a slew of enigmatic tweets from popular international Drag Race alumni.
Although RuPaul has made no official announcement of an All Stars season that would connect foreign spin-offs or any formal proclamation of what fan-favorite queens would appear on the alleged season, this speculation is not baseless. The producers behind the Drag Race franchise have evolved the All Stars format over the years at an unprecedented rate. Originally, an All Stars season would only take place after four standard seasons. Today, the All Stars series produces one season a year, just like an ordinary season. In terms of global entries, RuPaul has gone full-throttle, broadcasting six global seasons since 2018 with several more to come in 2021, including the debut of Drag Race España and Drag Race Down Under. At this pace, the natural next step would be fusing the wildly popular All Stars format with the burgeoning worldwide franchises.
Drag Race fans have become exceedingly crafty in their predictions of when a new season is filming and what drag queens will be participating, based on social media use. This sleuthing system has accurately predicted All Stars dream casts of seasons' past, and some rumored "International All Stars" have teased fans about their potential involvement in the major cross-over event. The first playful message came on April 2 from Drag Race Canada queen, Lemon, who coyly tweeted, "Omg sorry my phone died" in response to fans speculating her social media absence indicated the star was busy filming a new season. Fellow Drag Race Canada fan-favorite Jimbo made her own sarcastic statement the following day tweeting, "I fell and broke both of my thumbs!" as an even more outlandish excuse for being M.I.A. On April 4, Drag Race Thailand host Pangina Heals joined the trend, tweeting, "Back from meditation camp." Pangina Heals would be the first host of a Drag Race spin-off to compete in an All Stars season.
Drag Race UK is the most successful of the RuPaul offshoots, as exhibited in recent contestant Bimini Bon Boulash signing with Next Models following her captivating performance in the recent season. Naturally, Drag Race UK alumni also teased their involvement in the alleged international cross-over. On April 5, Cheryl Hole alluded to her time off of Twitter and shared, "I really needed that nap! It's tiring being a mediocre diva..." Finally, UK favorite Blu Hydrangea bitingly copied all the feeble excuses of her purported All Star competitors and compressed them into one Frankenstein of a tweet, "Ok, so... I meditated for too long and my phone died, then I broke both my thumbs trying to find a charger and had to take a long nap to recover, sorry!"
At the moment, the existence of an International All Stars exists solely in fans' fantasies with no official endorsement from RuPaul, whose net worth has reached $60 million since his creation of the franchise. Whether these sardonic tweets are all a joke or an All Stars season featuring the global talents of Lemon, Jimbo, Pangina Heals, Cheryl Hole, and Blu Hydrangea is incoming, the empire of RuPaul's Drag Race is unlikely to topple any time soon.
