RuPaul teases sickening new All Stars 8 twist (@RuPaulsDragRace/ YouTube)

Drag Race All Stars 8 will have “two ways to win”, a new trailer has revealed.

The new season was announced with the cryptic tagline “Are you ready to play the Fame Games?”, and now RuPaul has confirmed that it refers to a major new twist.

A trailer released on Thursday (27 April) Ru-vealed: “For the first time in All Stars herstory, there are two ways to win.”

“The first is the traditional way,” Ru said.

“The second way: fans will determine which of our eliminated queens will win ‘Queen of the Fame Games’.”

Fans will be able to vote to bestow the title and a cash prize of $50,000 to one of the queens who don’t make it to the final.

We feel like we say this every season but… that’s a gag.

Drag Race All Stars 8 trailer reveals guest judges

All Stars 8 will see fan favourite and first outs return for a second chance at snatching a Drag Race crown.

Alongside some sickening runway previews, the season’s fabulous guest judges have been revealed, too.

Among them: Ego Nwodim, Zooey Deschanel, JoJo Siwa, Matt Rogers and Idina Menzel.

All Stars 8 also looks to be the most strategic season of Drag Race yet, with alliances and rivalries between some of the queens hinted at.

“There’s girls who are not playing a fair game” says Kahanna Montrese, with Lala Ri signing the trailer off with: “You never know whats’s gonna happen in this game, honestly child.”
