Drag Race season 6 speculation/dream queens?

I know nothing will be "officially" announced until the fall sometime, however I thought I'd start a thread for who you would like to see on the show. My vote goes to Vicky Vox although she confirmed on twitter she won't be on season 6.

In terms of speculation, Courtney Act, an Australian (and mighty beautiful) queen is going on vacation to a "wi-fi" free zone for a few weeks. Considering she mentioned on twitter that she auditioned for the show and that it began filming this week, I'm going to assume it's more than a coincidence.

Courtney Act has been part of the talent appearing on a number of Atlantis cruises in summers past. Since there are 3 Atlantis cruises roaming around Europe in 2013, it's entirely possible she's referring to THAT wifi-free zone this summer.

Love Courtney! I've seen her in a couple of episodes of transfashionable and she's gorgeous and has an entrancing accent.

I've been praying for Courtney to be on the show. And Vicki has to be on at some point. I mean, she HAS to be.

Damn, she is gorgeous.

And out of drag, Shane is cute as all hell.

I have really enjoyed Courtney on Transfashionable, too. She took my eyes from Willam and that's saying something. She's a stunner in and out of drag.

Epiphany Get Paid, who said she auditioned for season 6 has also left for a vacation recently. Adore Delano is also rumoured to be on the show. I wonder if Vicky's "no I'm not on season 6" is a cover up? I hope so!

I don't know any of the queens until they get to RPDR unless they have had some connection to a former contestant, like Detoxx or Alaska this past season. (And Chad Micheals, due to his Cher fabulousness.).

RuPaul is doing this contest to officiate the contestants' wedding. I wonder if this is a new show in the works.

JerseyGirl, the wedding thing is the new show. The casting call went out two weeks before the contest started. They wanted engaged couples or couples looking to renew their vows to do it on TV. The twist is that the husband will be made up in drag and the wife will also be dressed as a bride.

Adore has to be on this season. They hid the results of the second round of the Facebook contest last year after Adore won the first round by more than a 2:1 margin (letting Penny, a more experienced queen on instead). Adore was the top of the fan vote the entire way through again.

Courtney Act is probably on the show, too. All of Willam's friends are auditioning at this point but they're not all auditioning at once. I don't even think Vicky Vox even submitted a video this year since Willam, Detox, and Vicky were touring for most of the application process.

I hear rumor that a few of the big queens featured on the camp classic "You're Too Fat to be a Drag Queen" episode of the Ricki Lake Show applied this year. Search for it on YouTube. It's amazing. Pandora Boxx appears as a backstabbing friend of a huge queen and is incredibly embarrassed when she's called out on it. It's possible that they were recruited to stack the deck for a plus-size winner.

Another hint for Adore Delano, Danny's been MIA from his Twitter, Tumblr, & Adore's Facebook since June 6th.

I don't think there will be a chance of me tuning in to Ru's new show. We fight too hard for marriage equality for it to be made fun of by "us." I don't think we're there yet.

They sent it out for straight or same-sex couples. How will they handle a same-sex couple? Will one of the men be in drag? Will one of the women be in drag? I am afraid that feeds into too many idiots' assumptions about gay couples. "She just wants to be a man." "Which one of you is the woman?"

I would have loved if all these 3 queens were on the one season of Drag Race! And once again, how damn beautiful is Courtney?
Chow Down as Willam, Vicky Vox & Courtney Act fly IN DRAG!

So if Adore & Courtney are on the show I wonder if they're going to have a rivalry both having been on American/Australian Idol.

Just rewatched most of season 3 today. How addicting is this show? I await the day we see a Chorus Line like show documenting the casting processes for Drag Race. Could you imagine the musical numbers? "Tuck, tuck, ouch!", "6 inches higher". I think it has potential!

Filming is done and the Queens are returning to Twitter.

Courtney Act & Adore Delano have updated the Twitters. Laganja Estranja has returned to first person posting. Darienne Lake updated her Facebook.

Darienne is my type of queen. She is HILARIOUS!!

I have a question! Does anyone know if the queens are briefed on what type of clothes to bring before they arrive to film the series? Even the non sewers in the group manage to find outfits for tasks such as the telenovela in which they all needed (and did have) Spanish influenced costumes. Another example is how they all had 80's clothes in the "Can I Get An Amen?" video


*Season 6 spoiler* One of the challenges was a comedy challenge in which the queens had to perform for a a group of elderly people*

YB, how do you have a season 6 spoiler???

[JerseyGirl2]

Posted: 7/14/13 at 9:05am

Since they had an audience, I assume someone spoke up.

For things like that I assume they have a wardrobe to pick things from if they don't have the right clothes. I mean Coco used her Tina Turner wig for Can I Get An Amen. I'm sure none of them came prepared with a Maid Outfit.

Came across this video of potential season 6 queen, Ben Delacreme. A really great performer! I'm already addicted to this video

The contestants are actually given a list of themes they might have to dress for. That's why Alyssa Edwards was borrowing everyone's clothes last year. She didn't actually follow directions and bring everything. There are no clothes to borrow unless they're being provided for the challenge itself, like the first episode photoshoot in matching costumes.
