Ever since All Stars 7, when eight former winners of the all-encompassing Drag Race franchise were brought back to the Werk Room for the first time to compete for the title of ‘Queen of All Queens’, fans and viewers have been casting their nets for which of their favourite champions they want to see back again on a hypothetical second iteration.

Sitting pretty high at the top of most people’s wishlist is season five runner-up and All Stars 2 victor Alaska Thunderf**k – and speaking exclusively to PinkNews to while promoting her new film God Save the Queens, the legend has confirmed that she’s ‘absolutely’ up for a Werk Room ru-turn.

“Well Bob the Drag Queen recently said, ‘All Stars is for losers, and I don’t need to do that chump sh*t!'” she jokes, referencing a recent interview in which the season eight winner panned the idea of returning for All Stars (via the podcast Boyfriend Material with Harry Jowsey).

Continuing, Alaska confirms that Bob’s comments haven’t swayed her, though. “You know what? I just love Drag Race! And I love being in that bizarre, fake, pink room, and I would love to go back any time. If RuPaul called me, I would absolutely go. So, yes! If that makes me a loser, I’ll take it.”

But it turns out that Bob’s reticence to join Alaska on a future All Stars season has ruined the latter’s plan for an alliance for the ages

“I’m p*ssed, because I wanted Bob to be there when I went!” she laughs. “Because we would be a great alliance, and I wanted her to win.”

But, if it can’t be Bob, Alaska has some other ideas in mind for who she’d want to see in the room where it happens.

“I would love to see Sasha Velour, I would love to see Violet Chachki,” she says, before joking, “I mean… bring Jinkx back! Give her a third try. Why not.”

Luckily for Alaska, several former champs have already given the thumbs up to another trip to the Werk Room, including All Stars 6 winner Kylie Sonique Love, season 15’s Sasha Colby and Drag Race UK‘s Danny Beard and Ginger Johnson from season 4 and 5, respectively.

It’s been less of a positive answer from others, though, with All Stars 1 winner Chad Michaels, All Stars 3‘s Trixie Mattel and season 6’s Bianca Del Rio calling time on their Drag Race journeys.

And while it might not be another All Winners, All Stars is set to return for its tenth season on 9 May – with the largest cast ever.

God Save the Queens stars Alaska alongside fellow Drag Race stars Kelly Mantle, Laganja Estranja, Manila Luzon and Michelle Visage among others. From Framline, the “audacious and candy-colored gem follows a quartet of down-on-their-luck queens who end up stuck at the same therapy retreat,” and premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2022.

God Save the Queens, starring Alaska Thunderf**k, is available to stream now on Prime Video and other services now.
