“The girls on All-Stars 4 are exciting and they have so much more to show,” RuPaul told Entertainment Weekly.

“I think it will shock fans, although I don’t think they’ll be as disappointed. We always try to do something fresh and interesting, and sometimes it turns out in a way that you don’t really expect.”
