Meet the 18 Queens Competing on 'RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars' Season 10 ...Saudi Arabia

News by : (Parade) -

Season 10 will premiere on Paramount+ on May 9, but anyone who watches All Stars knows that Ru likes to keep things interesting and switch up the format. Rather than the returnees competing in pairs, sending each other home or battling it out for badges on a non-elimination season, the 18 queens of All Stars Season 10 will be duking it out in three brackets. The 18 queens have been divided into three groups of six queens (more on that later), with each group competing in challenges over the course of three weeks. At the end of their preliminary round, the three queens with the most points in each round will move on to the semi-finals where the nine remaining queens will have two weeks to prove themselves before the finalists head onto the finale.

Here's a full look at the cast of RuPaul's Drag RaceAll Stars Season 10 along with a breakdown of who is competing in which group:

The cast of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 10

Acid Betty

Paramount+

Acid Betty

As the All Stars franchise continues on, queens from popular seasons like Season 8 who HAVEN'T returned to All Stars become more and more scarce. It seemed inevitable that the volatile Acid Betty would make her grand return sooner or later and Season 10 appears to be her shot. She fought with both Bob the Drag Queen and Thorgy Thor on her original season and was sent packing by Naomi Smalls after her impression of Nancy Grace during the Snatch Game sent her to the bottom.

Aja

Paramount+

Aja

Aja is a second opinionated New York queen on this season. She originally appeared on Season 9 where she notably clashed with Valentina before being sent home by Nina Bo'nina Brown following a comedy challenge. She then returned for redemption in All Stars Season 3, where she started strong, but fizzled out and was sent home by BeBe Zahara Benet after failing to impress the judges during the ball. Here's hoping that Aja can finally make a run at the crown in All Stars Season 10.

Alyssa Hunter

Paramount +

Alyssa Hunter

With All Stars Seasons 7 and 9 including smaller casts and Season 9 featuring more queens from the middle seasons of the franchise, queens who competed after Season 11 of the original franchise haven't got much airtime on All Stars. That certainly changes this year. Alyssa Hunter is one of six Season 14 queens competing on this season. Having been eliminated second, she's one of the biggest wild cards in this cast, so it will be exciting to see what Alyssa has to offer on her second outing, should she stick around longer.

Bosco

Paramount+

Bosco

The second returnee from Season 14 is the one queen who didn't get to say, "It's chocolate," when she opened her candy bar. Bosco, known for her wit and loving a bra and panties set, was saved from elimination at the final seven and went on to make the top five in the finale, where she was cut alongside Angeria Paris VanMichaels and Daya Betty. Bosco is one of only four finalists on this cast of 18, so she will certainly be a favorite heading into the premiere.

Cynthia Lee Fontaine

Paramount+

Cynthia Lee Fontaine

Of everyone on the All Stars Season 10 cast, Cynthia Lee Fontaine is perhaps the most shocking choice, only because it feels like we've seen everything she has to offer. After finishing in 10th place on Season 8 and battling cancer, Cynthia returned the following season to deliver a very similar performance and again place 10th. She's a ball of CUCU energy, but on her seasons, she was never quite able to harness that madness. Perhaps her return, however, is a sign that Cynthia has evolved to a new level of drag. I don't know why she'd be back otherwise.

Daya Betty

Paramount+

Daya Betty

All Stars Season 10 is certainly heavy on villains and our third Season 14 queen certainly was a villainous one. After being eliminated in a fake elimination at the beginning of the season, Daya returned and managed to last until the finale. However, she seemed to constantly be aggravated by her fellow queens and the fact she wasn't performing better in the challenges. She's a high achiever who will certainly be returning with guns blazing, so hopefully she'll make for some good TV.

Deja Skye

Paramount+

DeJa Skye

And yet ANOTHER Season 14 queen on this cast is DeJa Skye, who is most well known for her Lil Jon Snatch Game impression that made her the sole player not forced to compete in the original LaLaPaRuZa. She was also eliminated in a double sashay away with Jorgeous just shy of the finale. DeJa does have a fun sense of humor, but she seems like someone RuPaul is destined to use as cannon fodder here.

Denali

Paramount+

Denali

While she finished 8th on her original season, Denali is certainly one of the most highly anticipated returners for All Stars Season 10. A fan favorite, she seemed to have repeatedly got the raw end of the stick on her original season, first losing an initial lip sync against LaLa Ri due to the fact that she was wearing ice skates and later being sent home during a wonky makeover challenge that was seemingly more Olivia Lux's fault than her own. In between she delivered one of the franchise's most iconic lip syncs against Kahmora Hall and delivered quippy confessionals. Her ice skating videos over the past five years have only helped to bolster her profile, and she'll certainly return to All Stars with something to prove.

Ginger Minj

Paramount+

Ginger Minj

Ginger Minj seems to think that 4th times the charm for her on Drag Race, but with 17 competitors, her odds of winning are at an all time low. While she was the runner up on both Season 7 and All Stars Season 6, she crashed and burned on All Stars Season 2. Few queens are as funny as Ginger, but All Stars Season 6 seemed to be her shot at winning, and now she's got a lot of fresh, thirsty talent to contend with.

Irene the Alien

Paramount+

Irene the Alien

This is the first season where Season 15 queens are competing on All Stars and of the 16 options, RuPaul only selected two. Somewhat surprisingly one of those returnees is the artist formerly known as Irene Dubois, who was the Porkchop queen of her season, sent home first. Since her elimination, Irene has proven herself to be quite the fashion queen with mugs and fashion moments that have sent Instagram into a spiral. Fans are excited to see what all Irene has to offer should she stick around for longer than two episodes. Unfortunately she's got a 50/50 chance of going home after only three this time.

Jorgeous

Paramount+

Jorgeous

Jorgeous was born to do drag according to RuPaul, and Ru certainly is here to support that career. After making her debut back in Season 14, she's already back for a third time (and the second All Stars season in a row). In last year's non-elimination season, Jorgeous didn't earn enough badges to make it into the finale, and it seems a bit unlikely that she's evolved so much in a year's time that she'd be competitive for the crown this season. That said, you can never underestimate Ru's love for a queen, so it's possible that the third time could be the charm.

Kerri Colby

Paramount+

Kerri Colby

"Tranos" is back and just in time. The final Season 14 queen is none other than Sasha Colby's daughter. While the trans icon placed 9th on her original season, being eliminated by Jasmine Kennedie after the girls groups challenge, she has since become an icon for supporting numerous Drag Race alumni as they've transitioned. Kerri Colby is gorgeous and beloved by the fandom, so it will be great to see her back on our TV screens.

Lydia B Kollins

Paramount+

Lydia B Kollins

Since All Stars typically films shortly after the previous season of the regular franchise, there's usually a delay between a queen's Drag Race debut and her return to All Stars (hence all of the Season 14 girls finally landing on All Stars this year). However, in an extremely tight turnaround, Kori King's counterpart is already returning for another season (something made even more shocking by the fact no Season 16 queens are on the cast). This will certainly add an interesting wrinkle to the mix since none of the other competing queens will have seen any of Season 17. Will Lydia lie and say she won her season? There's some fun room to mess around here that she could use to her advantage.

Mistress Isabelle Brooks

Paramount+

Mistress Isabelle Brooks

As far as I'm concerned, THE frontrunner heading into All Stars Season 10 is Mistress. With none of the Season 16 or 17 finalists returning, she's the most recent finalist in the mix AND Season 15 was basically a long-winded coronation for drag icon Sasha Colby, so Mistress was really only ever competing for 2nd place. Incredibly clever and now with All Stars cash, Mistress seems primed to up her game and make short work of her competition. She never landed in the bottom on her original season, and now that she's done with the Sasha Colby meet-and-greet, she could avoid it again this year.

Nicole Paige Brooks

Paramount+

Nicole Paige Brooks

One thing I do love about All Stars is RuPaul's constant reintroduction of old school queens to the modern era. While it doesn't always work out, Ru casts someone from the first few seasons nearly every year and for All Stars Season 10, he's bringing back Nicole Paige Brooks from ATLANTA, GEORGIA. If you don't remember much about Nicole, that's probably because she was eliminated second in a lip sync against Raven (after losing a burlesque challenge). She was 36 on her original season, making her over 50 now, so she's certainly a wild card, but one I'm excited to see. It should also be noted that with Nicole's arrival, the only two living queens from Season 2 to have not returned for All Stars are Tyra Snachez and Mystique Summers Madison.

Olivia Lux

Paramount+

Olivia Lux

The second of three queens returning from Season 13, Olivia Lux is back after finishing just shy of the finale on her original season. Despite two maxi-challenge wins, Olivia was sent home by Kandy Muse after losing an acting challenge. Since her time on Drag Race Olivia has got involved in the ballroom scene, so it will be interesting to see how that has informed her drag in the years since.

Phoenix

Paramount+

Phoenix

Along with Nicole Paige Brooks, Phoenix will be representing for the old school queens and like Paige, she's one of the few queens from her original season who haven't returned yet returned for All Stars. Also interestingly enough, Phoenix is the drag daughter of Nicole. If you don't remember Phoenix, she was eliminated in a lip sync with Delta Work after a sci-fi themed acting challenge.

Tina Burner

Paramount+

Tina Burner

Last, but certainly not least, we have Season 13 firecracker Tina Burner, known for rocking red, orange and yellow ensembles to follow the fire-theme of her name. Tina competed with Olivia and Denali in Season 13 and is a queen that the fandom loves to hate. However, she is quite witty and if she comes to All Stars with a better runway package, we could see her make a play for the crown.

The 3 groups competing on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 10

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 10 Orange Group

Paramount+

Orange Group

Of the three groups, the orange sextet seems to be the most competitive. Both Olivia Lux and Bosco made it far in their seasons and seem likely to go far on All Stars. Aja has grown a lot since her original season and is due for a redemption arc as is Irene, who never got to showcase what she was capable of. Phoenix is a wild card given it's been so long since Season 3 and DeJa is not one to be counted out, especially in a comedy challenge. I'd predict Olivia, Bosco and Aja on paper, but I have a feeling that there will be a surprise upset in the orange crew.

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 10 Pink Group

Paramount+

Pink Group

The pink group seems handcrafted for Mistress Isabelle Brooks to win. She's the only former finalist here and is easily the funniest queen in this group. I think aside from her it's really anyone's game, with each queen carrying some pros and cons. If I had to guess, I'd wager that Kerri Colby returns with more wind in her sails and joins Mistress in the semi-finals with RuPaul favorites Jorgeous and Lydia duking it out for the final spot.

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 10 Purple Group

Paramount+

Purple Group

Of the three groups, purple has the most chaotic energy. I'd say Denali seems like the frontrunner here, but both Daya Betty and Ginger Minj have been finalists before. On paper, those seem like the likely top three of this group, but I think Acid Betty is one to watch. She's got a unique aesthetic, and maybe without Bob the Drag Queen, she manages to blossom in a way she didn't back on Season 8.
