RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 7 was the first of its kind, as this season featured a cast made entirely up of past winners, and it was extremely well received by fans. Since the first announcement of season 7, super sleuth fans have been keeping their eyes out for who could be on season 8 of the legendary reality show.
Rumors have been swirling around the internet of a possible "early outs" or a "fan-favorite" season for years, and much like this year's "all winners" season, it seems to be true. Scouring the internet, many eagle-eyed fans have compiled a list of who they believe could be the next batch of queens to grace the All-Stars runway.
Jimbo
Jimbo was a fan favorite on Canada's Drag Race season one. When she returned for RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs. the World she was very quickly revealed to be a front-runner for the competition until her untimely departure.
After her controversial elimination, fans have been begging to have more Jimbo on their TV screens, and it's possible that Mama Ru has listened. Jimbo has been rumored by numerous sources to be competing in season 8 of All Stars, making her the second international queen, after The Vivienne, to compete in the series.
Heidi N Closet
It is only a matter of time before fans saw Heidi N Closet appear on the main stage again. Heidi N Closet's personality took her all the way into the top six of her season and managed to not only grab audience's hearts' but RuPaul's as well.
Heidi N Closet recently moved to LA and has displayed a similar social media absence while production is underway for season 8 of Drag Race All Stars in which she did not post anything for the whole month of July, leading to a possible conclusion that she is competing on this new season. Additionally, a Redditor shared some insight from a friend that reportedly works at World Of Wonder that confirms these rumors.
Kandy Muse
Kandy Muse was a standout on her original season, bringing back the Drag Race: Untucked. She received a lot of online criticisms during her season, so seeing her compete again will allow viewers a second chance to really appreciate all this queen has to offer.
Kandy Muse was notably absent from social media during the rumored filming, with nearly a 2-month-long gap between tweets during the rumored filming time. According to the YouTube channel Drag Race Tea, Kandy Muse is the only rumored queen on this list that actually made it to the finale of their original season, so she will definitely have something to prove if this rumor is true.
Jaymes Mansfield
For the average viewer, Jaymes Mansfield seems like a highly unlikely choice for an All Stars season. She did not do particularly well on her initial run, but ever since then, she has been growing her brand and really making waves in the drag world. Her wildly popular YouTube channel was many fans' first hint she may be on All Stars because her usually active channel went dark for a whole month causing fellow YouTuber, Mera Mangle, discusses the rumor that she is on All Stars.
She recently made a starring appearance in RuPaul's Christmas movie, The B**** Who Stole Christmas, and has been making appearances on The Pit Stop and various other World of Wonder projects, leading many fans to believe that she is going to be on the next All Stars season.
Jessica Wild
Jessica Wild is a queen newer fans have not gotten a chance to know yet, so her casting on an All Stars season would allow the younger generation to fall in love with this queen. Wild's surprise appearance as a lip sync assassin on All Stars 6 brought this season two queen back into the conversation.
Fans took her appearance as a hint that she would likely appear in the following season, but since All Stars 7 was an all-winners season, it makes sense she will appear in the season 8 of All Stars. Popular and reliable YouTuber Mera Mangle made an important note to include her on the rumored list as well leading to even more evidence that this is true.
Darienne Lake
Placing fourth on season Six of Drag Race's sixth season was full of talent with queens like Bianca Del Rio, Courtney Act, Adore Delano, and BenDeLaCreme and Darienne held her own against all of them.
For some reason, she hasn't returned to the franchise, but it is only a matter of time before she returns to conquer the competition. Darienne Lake could possibly become the second season Six queen to take home a crown if she is competing in season 8 of All Stars (via GayTimes).
Mrs. Kasha Davis
Fans have been begging to see this drag legend make a comeback on Drag Race. Although she didn't win any challenges, fans couldn't help but enjoy this member of the "Bitter Old Lady Brigade". Kasha is a talented comedian who isn't afraid to speak up, so seeing her in a room with these other queens would be entertaining to say the least.
Season 7's challenges were nothing short of disappointing, so getting to see Kasha perform in better challenges would serve to justify the wrongs from her original season. One Redditor pointed out that Kasha Davis was missing from local Rochester gigs pointing to a possibility of her being away filming All Stars. There is no doubt that if Mrs. Kasha Davis were to be on the next season of All Stars it would be entertaining and iconic.
Alexis Michelle
Alexis Michelle made a big impact when she competed in season 9, placing fifth behind Sasha Velour, Shea Couleé, Trinity the Tuck, and Peppermint. Four of those five queens went on to win Drag Race crowns, so if Alexis is confirmed for this season, her competitors better watch out.
During her season, Alexis was not the most popular queen, but she definitely was talented, and her fans have been campaigning for her All Stars run all over the internet. Finally, rumors began to be confirmed by numerous sources including the pop culture site JustJared.com. Seeing her in an All Stars season would be a great way for her to show off even more of her talents, as well as give her a chance to win some new fans that may not have liked her in season 9.
Lala Ri
Lala Ri is most known for two things, which is being season 12's Miss Congeniality and that horrendous bag look from the bag ball episode. Both of these things are truly iconic, and if anyone deserves an All Stars redemption it would be her (via GayTimes).
Lala Ri would bring class and sass to the new season of Drag Race as well as her iconic lip sync abilities. Seeing her compete alongside other fan-favorite queens would certainly make for an excellent season.
Kahanna Montrese
The drag daughter of the legendary Coco Montrese, Kahanna Montrese was sent home way too early on season 11. Being sent home so early, she never got a chance to show off her true talents, so an All Stars run is deserved.
Kahanna Montrese has been making more and more appearances on World of Wonder projects, including the Drag Race Live Las Vegas show, leading many to believe she is being prepped for an All Stars debut. Additionally, she and other rumored queens began commenting on each other's social media posts alluding to a bond that seemingly appeared out of nowhere.
