Drag race all stars 63/28/2023 Bonet finally getting her chance to show that yes, she really does do a great Beyoncé. There was Ra’Jah making a dress in a minute for her talent show, Kylie pulling out a hilarious Dolly Parton impersonation and Trinity K. But the surprising moments have been the highlights, even when they haven’t earned wins. Yes, some of this was built into the show through victories: Jan finally got her Rusical win after being snubbed in Season 12, for example, and Ginger became just the second queen to win Snatch Game twice. ![]() If AS2 was about some of the best queens in Drag Race herstory performing at an expected high caliber, AS6 has been about underdogs proving themselves as exemplary queens. Laganja’s “ Physical” lip sync alone went wildly viral, and served as a rebirth of sorts for the queen after her rocky departure in Season 6. Even the Lip Sync Assassin format made a strong case for itself after a rocky introduction in AS5, with queens like Laganja Estranja, Jessica Wild and Mayhem Miller getting shining moments of their own. It has been an absolute triumph, a vindication for this cast and a demonstration of how Drag Race should be casting All Stars seasons moving forward. The result, of course, has been the best All Stars season save AS2, and the best American season since Season 9. There was a ton of story potential in this group, even if they didn’t necessarily meet the fanbase’s metric of what an “All Star” should be. Or maybe they just needed one more shot to actually lock down the crown. Or maybe they had gone through tremendous personal and professional growth. ![]() Maybe they wanted to reintroduce themselves after a poor reception in their previous season. Bonet, Jiggly Caliente, Serena ChaCha and Kylie Sonique Love.Īll of these queens in some way (but crucially, not all in the same way) sought Rudemption. And you had queens who were returning from the earliest seasons of the show to demonstrate how they’d grown: Trinity K. ![]() You had mid-out queens who had more to offer than we saw the first time around: Jan, Scarlet Envy and Ra’Jah O’Hara. You had returning Miss Congenialities who hadn’t been on Drag Race in years: Pandora Boxx and Yara Sofia. (One such remark: “Let’s just say it stretches the term all-star to its breaking point.”) Here you had some strong competitors who got close to the crown once upon a time: Ginger Minj, Eureka!, Silky Nutmeg Ganache and A’keria C. That’s why the All Stars 6 cast was so intriguing-dare I say even exciting-upon first announcement, despite all the dismissive “some stars” comments about the cast.
