Season 9 and 10’s Eureka O’Hara and Season 11’s Silky Nutmeg Ganache were frequently questioned by fans as contestants. Most criticism for some of the casting has not directly commented on these queens’ backgrounds, but there remain underlying biases that predispose some people to jump on the attack. The upcoming season’s lineup features two openly transgender contestants, a diverse array of body types and a wide range of racial identities. But while there’s valid criticism for some casting choices, other harassing comments seem to be rooted in prejudice. I was shocked to see Serena ChaCha - the second contestant to be eliminated in season 5 - back. Even media outlets such as Jezebel were quick to question the casting choices.Įven I had my questions. Bonet, the cast has a diverse set of queens.Īlthough the cast was mostly praised on social media, there was also a notable amount of backlash. From fan favorites such as Pandora Boxx and Jan to iconic lip syncers such as Kylie Sonique Love and Trinity K. In All Stars fashion, the lineup features contestants from prior seasons. The franchise announced the cast of the new season last week. Thirteen queens are returning to the Olympics of drag for another chance at the crown and a spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame.
#All stars 6 tv
When I got the opportunity to get on the show, it wasn't about the money, it's been the connections.The reality TV show juggernaut RuPaul’s Drag Race is back with a sixth iteration of its All Stars series. I probably would've been one of those people like, I'm done, I give up because there were so many different things I was struggling with…. If I didn't have that in my life, I probably would not be here. But, the positivity will always overshadow that. Every message I get, every inbox, yeah, I still go back and forth with people online, talking s-, because I'm human. It's about helping people, and that's a fuel for me. I thought it would be very selfish of me to take my own life, for probably nothing, for no good reason, when there are other people who I could be helping with my story or my own depressions and HIV, all of those things. Drag Race made it no longer about me, but about the causes it brings to other people in their lives and the impact my story has on them.
That's when I started realizing, when I started doing drag, it was for me wanting to be on stage.
in those times when you feel bummed out about yourself or you don't want to be bothered with the world anymore, every now and then I'll get that message from somebody from Peru, Jesus, I've gotten messages from people all over the world! They see me on TV and my story inspired them. Having your own depressions and insecurities, when you don't have a lot of people in your ear talking you up and encouraging you and embracing you for who you are authentically…. I wasn't happy! All the people who said I was bitter and mad, I sure was! If the other party doesn't know, nothing will ever be resolved. I don't hold how I feel anymore, because then only I carry that.
So many times, I've tried to change who I am, but I'm not going to do that because it doesn't allow me to be happy in my life. I'm an Aquarius, I wear my emotions on my face. Why should I be happy? What normal person would be? I'm not going to put it on for TV. Now, I'm supposed to smile and be happy for somebody who's going to come back and take my spot? We played fair, we went by track record, and I knew if I didn't win the next challenge, I go home. I was genuinely there for every girl still in the game. I'm not happy that someone is coming back! I've been a cheerleader for my sisters the whole season, even if they thought it was fake and phony. But it wasn't until I got off stage and I realized I didn't hear Ru say, "congratulations to my top four!" that I realized it wasn't over…. Our day started at 6 a.m., we were there all day, did the runway, I was in a catsuit, my genitals were tucked away, my face was itching from the hair and makeup, it was a long day! I tried to have a positive attitude as much as possible, and I made top four, so I was excited.
