Yesterday, we got our first (very brief) glimpse at RuPaul’s Drag Race season six, but the cast list hasn’t been revealed yet. Thankfully, Logo took it upon themselves to bestow upon us a series of hints to reveal the new cast, which means it’s WILD SPECULATION TIME! The hints, in order of appearance:
- Celebrity icon: Joan Rivers
- Inspired by: Nina Flowers, Jessica Wild and Madame LaQueer
- Favorite 70’s icon: Pam Grier
- Favorite challenge from the past: Where people made commercials and had to be Oprah
- Love performing: Right Now by Rihanna and Sweet Nothing by Florence and the Machine
- Celebrity icon: RuPaul, Dolly Parton, Oprah
- Celebrity icons: Anna Nicole, Elvira, Courtney Love, Miss Piggy
- Adjectives: quirky, beautiful, unique
- Comes from a family full of athletes
- Favorite lip-syncs: Milkshake by Kelis, Cool by Gwen Stefani, My Man by Babs
- Three adjectives: Talented, fabulous, Unpredictable
- Top Lip-Sync Number: Beyonce Crazy In Love and Selena Disco Medley
- Celebrity icon: Grace Jones
- Drag idol: Varla Jean Merman
Honestly, I can’t make heads or tails of most of these, although hint #9 would strongly indicate that Kelly Mantle is in the cast, and Ben De La Creme has always been a big fan of Varla Jean Merman, so that nails #14. The rest of these are pretty much up for grabs, especially #2 which would indicate a Puerto Rican queen.
