RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 8 is back and with a brand new twist, set to make this season the most exciting one yet. The new trailer that premiered on Thursday, April 27th, revealed the cryptic tagline, “Are you ready to play the Fame Games?” and confirmed that it alluded to the major new twist in the show.
The announcement of the new twist has set the Drag Race fandom abuzz, with fans eagerly anticipating the new season’s premiere. RuPaul confirmed the twist, saying that for the first time in All Stars history, there are two ways to win. The first is the traditional way, which will see the finalists compete for the crown. The second, and most exciting way, is that fans will determine which of the eliminated queens will win the title of ‘Queen of the Fame Games’.
The season’s trailer promises an exciting line-up of contestants, including one runner-up, several early-outs, and a Canadian queen for the first time in All Stars history. The trailer also features previews of some of the season’s fabulous guest judges, including Ego Nwodim, Zooey Deschanel, JoJo Siwa, Matt Rogers, and Idina Menzel.
All Stars 8 promises to be the most strategic season yet, with alliances and rivalries already hinted at between some of the queens. Kahanna Montrese warns in the trailer that some girls are not playing a fair game, while Lala Ri signs the trailer off with: “You never know what’s gonna happen in this game, honestly child.”
Fans can vote for their favorite eliminated queen and bestow upon them the title of ‘Queen of the Fame Games’ along with a cash prize of $50,000. The twist has set social media abuzz with excitement, as fans gear up to show their support for their favorite queens.
All in all, the introduction of the twist and the exciting lineup of queens and guest judges promise a season filled with drama, suspense, and plenty of sickening looks. Don’t miss out on the fun when the season premieres on May 12th on Paramount Plus and WOW Presents Plus UK.
