RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 3 is going to sport one of the most impressive lineups in the show’s history. There is some serious competition from the nine queens we’ve seen. But, there is a tenth queen that is yet to be revealed! Or, RuVealed, if you want to stay on brand. Who is this mystery queen? We’ve pulled together a number of guesses and we’ve got quite the roster ourselves.
Bebe Zahara Benet (Season 1)
The big rumor is that Bebe Zahara Benet, the winner of Drag Race Season 1, is going to come in and shake things up as the tenth contestant. This would certainly add some upheaval to the format. It’s possible this could happen since many Drag Race fans haven’t seen the first season or became fans once the show was far into its run.
This would be the most shocking possibility and we all know that RuPaul loves to keep everyone on their toes.
Willam Belli (Season 4)
Season 4 is one of the most tumultuous seasons in the show’s history thanks to the disqualification of Willam. Willam was secretly meeting with his husband in a hotel during the production. That is against the rules of the competition and she was removed from the show after winning her assigned challenge.
Willam returning would be an enormous jolt to the lineup and the drama that would ensue could be a whole lot of fun.
Jiggly Caliente (Season 4)
This Season 4 fan favorite would be a great redemption story to have for All Stars 3. Jiggly Caliente never won a challenge during her season, but she was lovable, funny, and was able to make it to 8th place. She’s also become incredibly polished since her time on Drag Race, even showing up in an episode of the popular comedy Broad City.
And we really want to hear RuPaul once again say, “May I call you, Jiggly?”
Adore Delano (Season 6, All-Stars 2)
Adore Delano is one of the most beloved queens to ever appear on Drag Race. That’s evident considering she’s already shown up twice in the series’ run. She stood out in Season 6 and made it all the way to 2nd place, but she voluntarily left All Stars 2 due to some harsh criticism from the judges. She appeared in the reunion episode and seemed open to returning for All Stars 3.
Maybe she decided to take that chance? Here’s hoping!
Darienne Lake (Season 6)
Rumors about Darienne Lake being the All Stars 3 mystery queen broke out when a cast list for the show leaked online and her name was included. There’s no proof this is true, but it would be fun to have Darienne Lake back for another season.
Her controversial win against BenDeLaCreme in Season 6 cast her in a negative light for a lot of fans. Reuniting the two and seeing how they compete against each other once again could provide some serious shade.
Kelly Mantle (Season 6)
Kelly Mantle was thought to be a front-runner when she showed up in Season 6, but she was surprisingly the first contestant to be eliminated. Since her loss, she’s proven to be a powerhouse performer and was even the first actress nominated for an Oscar where she would be eligible for both Male and Female Best Supporting Actor.
This would be a great curveball to throw to the current lineup of queens and would mirror Shangela‘s own history of being eliminated early in the competition.
Tempest DuJour (Season 7)
Tempest DuJour is another queen who was eliminated first in her season. Season 7 had an impressive cast and many fans believed Tempest would bring a ton of acting and comedy talent to the show. Unfortunately, she was knocked out due to a fashion challenge.
She’s an experienced and multi-talented queen who has a lot more to offer than what we’ve seen. Giving her a chance to return would help right the wrong of her early exit.
Kim Chi (Season 8)
Kim Chi is possibly the queen with the most incredible aesthetic in the show’s history. Her fantastical designs and geeky nature made her a real threat in Season 8. She was a runner-up but lost to Bob the Drag Queen. Seeing as how the lineup for All Stars 3 features some of the strongest queens in the show’s history, Kim Chi would fit right in and make the competition even tougher than it already is.
Who do you think the mystery queen of All Stars 3 is? Let us know!
