RuPaul is introducing audiences to their world clique in the latest, globe-trotting version of Drag Race. RuPaul’s Drag Race Global All Stars will see queens from all over the World of Wonder compete to see who has the most international appeal. “Twelve queens representing their home countries raises the stakes to a whole new level,” RuPaul said in a statement. “Plus, the international mix of charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent will, pardon my French, blow your fucking minds.” WoW introduced the world to these queens in a YouTube video July 15. It was giving Olympics opening ceremonies, specifically the one when Bjork sang (the chicest opening ceremony of all time). Read on to see the competitors, judges, and premiere date.

Representing their nations, Olympics-style are Alyssa Edwards (USA), Athena Likis (Belgium), Eva Le Queen (Philippines), Gala Varo (Mexico), Kitty Scott-Claus (UK), Kween Kong (Australia), Miranda Lebrão (Brazil), Nehellenia (Italy), Pythia (Canada), Son de Muse (France), Tessa Testicle (Switzerland, but competed on Drag Race Germany), and Vanity Vain (Sweden).
Any tea on judges or the prize?
The competition is global, but the cash prize is American honey. The girls are competing for a $200,000 prize as well as a place in the international pavilion at the Drag Race Hall of Fame. The international pavilion of the Drag Race Hall of Fame is what should replace CommuniCore Hall at EPCOT, btw.
The three main judges on RuPaul’s Drag Race Global All Stars are Ru, Michelle Visage, and choreographer Jamal Sims. Per Variety, they’ll be joined by a “a rotation of stars from across the show’s international franchise.” So a jury of their peers.
