We are barely getting over the shock twist in the finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 3, and a new season of the beloved show is almost upon us.
Drag Race season 10 starts on 22 March and the team at VH1 have dropped 15 minutes of the season opener to whet our appetites.
And boy, what an eventful 15 minutes it is.
The 14 queens make their grand entrances, including a fabulous costume reveal. Then they deliver epic shade that comes out as they sit around waiting for RuPaul to make his grand entrance.
‘The Jewish Barbie on bath salts’, Miz Cracker, raises eyebrows among the southern queens who can’t quite believe she’s using the ‘racial slur’ as her drag name.
There are five queens from New York. They’ve hinted we can expect beef to transpire between Miz Cracker and Aquaria, Sharon Needle’s drag daughter.
The queens are excited and share hilarious quips about each other’s drag style, which is all fun and games now, but could escalate to major conflict during the season.
The queens competing this year are: Aquaria, Asia O’Hara, Blair St. Clair, Dusty Ray Bottoms, Eureka, Kalorie Karbdashian Williams, Kameron Michaels, Mayhem Miller, Miz Cracker, Monét X Change, Monique Heart, The Vixen, Vanessa Vanjie Mateo and Yuhua Hamasaki.
Mini-challenge
It’s hard not to get excited for this season when the queen’s are beside themselves as RuPaul enters the workroom.
‘Bitch, RuPaul walks into the room, I was gagged,’ said Vanessa Vanjie Mateo in a cutaway.
‘It’s like seeing the Loch Ness monster. You hear a lot about it, but you never see it.
‘So when you see it, bitch you done.’
RuPaul tells the excited girls that their first mini-challenge has been ‘a decade in the making’. He expects, ‘tens, tens, tens across the board’ from all the queens.
It seems that it will involved the previous winners of RuPaul’s Drag Race and we can’t wait.
RuPaul’s Drag Race season 10 premieres Thursday 22 March at 8/7c on VH1 (US).
