Another day, another Drag Race spin-off to watch!
Only a few weeks after RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 7 ended, RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race season 2 debuted on VH1 on Friday, August 12, and fans of the series may have noticed that things look a bit different this time around: for one, Mama Ru has traded in the usual Drag Race workroom for a stage in front of a live studio audience and has also added the element of surprise to the show's sophomore season.
Nine celebrity performers will compete each week in a lip-sync smackdown, but their identities will be hidden The Masked Singer-style—thanks to copious amounts of wigs, foundation and Elmer's Glue—from both the audience and the judges' panel, which includes the usual lineup of RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley and Ross Matthews. One performer will be eliminated each week and it's only then that the world will find out who is behind all of that makeup and masquerading.
At least, that's the intended conceit. But after the first episode, during which we've already had to say goodbye to one celebrity contestant, viewers have seemingly figured out which famous folks are part of the Secret Celebrity Drag Race season 2 cast.
*Warning: spoilers ahead!*
Who are the celebrities on 'Celebrity Drag Race'?
Well, we know one for sure: the first eliminated contestant from RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race season 2 was Loretta Devine, an actress-singer known for her roles on stage (she was one of the original Dreamgirls!) and screen, including Waiting to Exhale, Crash and her Emmy-winning performance on Grey's Anatomy. Devine performed under the drag name "Fabulosity," lip-synching to Mary J. Blige's "Just Fine," but was unfortunately told to "sashay away" by Mama Ru in week one.
While the other contestants have obviously not been announced just yet on the show, viewers (including this writer) have made educated guesses on who the rest of the cast could be. (Again, spoilers are very much ahead!)
- AC McLean of The Backstreet Boys, performing as "Poppy Love"
- Kevin McHale of Glee fame, performing as
- Tatyana Ali from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, performing as "Chakra 7"
- Daniel Franzese, a.k.a. Damian from Mean Girls, performing as "Donna Bellisima"
- Taylor Dayne, dance-pop icon behind songs like "Tell It To My Heart," performing as "Electra Owl"
- Thom Filicia from the original Queer Eye cast, performing as "Jackie Would"
- Mark Indelicato, from Hacks and Ugly Betty, performing as "Thirsty Von Trapp"
- Jenna Ushkowitz, McHale's Glee castmate, performing as "Milli Von Sunshine"
Will Carson Kressley realize that Lizzo-loving Jackie Would is his former Queer Eye costar Thom Filicia? Are Glee fans freaking out to see a reunion between castmates Jenna Ushkowitz and Kevin McHale? And, more importantly, who do we think will win the whole shebang?
Fans were quick to figure out who the celebrity contestants were during the series premiere, some based on voice alone:
KEVIN MCHALE I KNOW THATS YOU ON RU PAUL SECRET CELEBRITY DRAG RACE I KNOW YOUR VOICEAugust 13, 2022
