Laganja’s athletic performances on the main stage are courtesy of her background in dance, and she has been choreographing music videos and live performances for plenty of “Drag Race” alumni since she competed. As she slammed herself into the ground, she trilled, “C’mon All Stars 6, let’s get sickening, okurrr!” If you forgot how talented a performer this queen is, her guest appearance served as a great reminder. Laganja Estranja made her grand entrance as a Lip Sync Assassin on “All Stars 6” by leaping into a split. Jackie has followed in Lucci’s footsteps post-competition, with a regular acting gig on the daytime soap “Days of Our Lives.” So watch out for her in the acting challenges! SEE ‘The Pit Stop’ for ‘Drag Race All Stars 8’ episode 8: Bianca and Valentina recap ‘You’re a Winner Baby!’ That title is fun, but I’d say it’s time for this self-defined Persian Princess to finally hear the words “you’re a winner, baby.” And let’s be honest: her Magic Carpet Merkin commercial should have been a winner anyway. RuPaul referred to Jackie Cox as the Susan Lucci of season 12, as the contestant made it all the way to fifth place without a maxi challenge win. I can’t wait to see how that stage experience ups her game. Gottmik lost out on the crown to the more experienced performer Symone, but since then Mik has racked up plenty of time on stage on the “Werq the World” tour, and even dancing with Sam Smith and Kim Petras at the Grammys. I still can’t get her “Hellraiser” look from the finale out of my head. This “gorge” season 13 queen was the first ever trans man to compete on “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” Gottmik made it all the way to the top four thanks to a fantastic sense of humor and perhaps the most inventive runway package ever. Having previously won “So You Think You Can Drag” and “Miss Look Queen” competitions in NYC, Dusty needs another chance to bring her signature punk-glam style to the “Drag Race” runway. Since competing on “Drag Race,” she moved from New York back to her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, has embarked on a major makeup evolution, and was featured in the documentary “Conversion” where she detailed her story of surviving conversion therapy. This season 10 queen might be best known for being sent home by a death drop fake-out from Monet X Change, but Dusty has much more to offer the world than her four episodes allowed her to show. SEE ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Untucked’ season 5 episode 8 recap: ‘You’re a Winner Baby!’ It’s time for Dida Ritz to redeem herself with a win and give the world another serotonin-boosting lip sync on the main stage. This queen ultimately came in sixth place and never won a maxi challenge. In the third episode of her season, Dida saved herself from elimination with a joyous performance of “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love).” And she slayed the song with its original chanteuse, the late Natalie Cole, looking on from the judges’ panel. Most queens with a truly iconic lip sync under their belt have been invited back for a run on “All Stars,” with the glaring exception of season four showstopper Dida Ritz. It’s time to bring Denali back so she can dance and strut her way to the top. It’s one of the most viewed “Drag Race” performances of all time on YouTube. This ice skating queen already delivered one of the most sensational lip syncs in her-story in the first episode of the season, with an energetic and highly choreographed presentation of “100% Pure Love” by Crystal Waters. I’m still calling “Rigga Morris” over Denali’s elimination in season 13 after she was saddled with a restricting runway outfit created by fellow bottom Olivia Lux. So with Canadian clown Jimbo setting precedent that international queens can compete on American All Star seasons, it’s time for Cheddar to cross the pond to show the children the meaning of queer excellence. One could argue (and I would) that Cheddar and eventual season four winner Danny Beard were the most evenly matched “final two” in “Drag Race” her-story. Cheddar’s unique blend of avant garde performance style, high-fashion runways, and commitment to activism is precisely what we need represented on TV right now. SEE ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars’ season 8 episode 8 recap: ‘You’re a Winner Baby!’Įven RuPaul was stunned when this UK drag legend decided to compete on season four of “Drag Race UK.” The other queens were shaking in their corsets when she strutted into the workroom, and for good reason.
