The wait is over and finally, we've got the official ruveal for season 2 of RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs The World. Season 1 was a bit of a hit-and-miss for me because the production seemed a bit rushed and to have one of the franchise's hosts compete? That was a choice, but I enjoyed the season regardless.
Since then, Drag Race has spawned a few other franchises including the Philippines, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Mexico, Brazil, and many others. I honestly thought the vs The World format would be something like the summer Olympics where each year one of the franchises will be the host for international queens to compete. I was hopeful when I saw Canada vs The World, but then they announced the UK vs The World season 2. I was a little conflicted but still hopeful.
What got me excited about this season is the cast! I'm so happy that La Grande Dame from Drag Race France is making her comeback in front of RuPaul herself. I think RuPaul is going to love La Grande Dame. Okay, let's meet the queens of RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs The World Season 2.
Arantxa Castilla La Mancha ( Drag Race Espana Season 1, 7th Place)
Chroriza May ( RuPaul's Drag Race UK Season 3, 6th Place)
Gothy Kendoll ( RuPaul's Drag Race UK Season 1, 10th Place)
Hannah Conda ( RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under Season 2, Runner-up)
Jonbers Blonde ( RuPaul's Drag Race UK Season 4, 3rd/4th Place)
Keta Minaj ( Drag Race Holland Season 2, 4th Place)
La Grande Dame ( Drag Race France Season 1, Runner-up)
Marina Summers ( Drag Race Philippines Season 1, Runner-up)
Mayhem Miller ( RuPaul's Drag Race Season 10, 10th Place, All Stars 5, 7th Place)
Scarlet Envy ( RuPaul's Drag Race Season 11, 10th Place, All Stars 6, 9th Place)
Tia Kofi ( RuPaul's Drag Race UK Season 2, 7th Place)
Do note that this is the first "All Stars" season where none of the queens have competed against each other. I think that's what made it more interesting to watch because we don't know the chemistry between the queens.
So who are you most excited to see competing in this season? My top 4 picks are La Grande Dame, Marina Summers, Scarlet Envy and Tia Kofi.
