Yahoo News RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Sharon Needles talks returning for an All Winners season
RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season three shook fans to the core when season one winner Bebe Zahara Benet rocked up for a second attempt at snatching the crown.
Season five winner Jinkx Monsoon also said that she’d be interested in returning for an All Stars season, so could we see more winners heading back to the show?
Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, season four’s Sharon Needles spoke about the possibility of returning, saying: "If there was an All Winners All Stars, absolutely. Just for the fact that my time in RuPaul's Drag Race is the funnest time I've ever had."
"I never went to camp as a kid but I assumed it was like that. Wake up early, sew a craft project, make a costume for the runway, and for a drag queen it is the funnest thing you could ever do.
"It's ridiculous, fun and let's face it, the worst thing I ever did for my career was win the first f**king time. Those who receive second chances tend to propel further than those who were just so f**king perfect the first time.
"I would love to go back and I think it would be so strange to see the 10 who are plotted as 'the best in the world' have to humble ourselves because we might not be that great this time around."
The queen of Halloween, who recently revealed what the show glosses over, also discussed 'The Curse of Sharon' where she has in some way impacted other winners.
"Aquaria my drag daughter, wins. Violet Chachki stole my crown, wins. Bianca Del Rio says the only reason she auditioned was because I said she'd never get on, wins. My ex-boyfriend Alaska, wins," she said. "It all comes back to me darling, the seven degrees of separation of Sharon Needles."
Adding who she thinks her biggest competition is, the 37-year-old added: "Jinkx, Alaska, Raja. Like me, they too play around with all the different crayons in the crayon box. Like Bianca Del Rio reminds me of a cartoon, it never changes. Visually it stays the same, it sounds the same, in Drag Race I think you need a little bit more variety. But if it’s all sewing challenges, she’s going to take it all the way to the top."
So who would be first to leave in an All Winners All Stars? "Oh, probably me," Sharon added. "Or Tyra Sanchez as she’s always pissing off the network."
"A lot of people who lose only lose because they say they got in their head. I think the reason I won is because I never thought I was supposed to be there. I could have gone at any time and said, 'Thank you so much, it's been fun. I can't believe you didn't kick me out sooner.' My mentality would be just go on, don't go to win, just go to play.
"It’s a really fun game to play and I think I would do pretty well."
Tickets for Christmas Queens are available here. Sharon Needles' third album Battleaxe is also available to buy on iTunes.
