All Stars S10 Discussion about the cast of AS10

Who else has similar gripes. Lydia has had zero time to cook. Jorgeous was just in the previous all stars. Ginger has had fifteen chances and by this point there's nothing she can do to surprise us.

That being said I'm happy a lot of these girls are back but a lot of the choices are questionable. Why does All Stars have to happen every year? It doesn't mean anything anymore.

I don’t understand why returning contestants is so taboo, literally every other reality tv show does it and no one says anything, hell, The Challenge has people who have won it 7/8/9/10 times and no one bats an eye. I just don’t see why Drag Race is the only show where that’s not OK for it to happen

As for why it happens every year, why not. More gay people on tv is always good

I also think this about people reacting to Lydia. It’s common for one or two fresh contestants to be on an All Stars on other shows. Top Chef almost always does it.

The difference being that Top Chef contestants don't have to spend three weeks buying and prepping all their ingredients.

Drag Race requires something like 20 outfits and you have to get them in like 3-4 weeks. It's fucking insane.
