![]() Even though I walked in the room physically, my mind never entered the building. I never should have allowed myself to do All Stars 2. My personal life was just falling apart and I was mentally in a very bad place. In the finale, you talk about feeling like you didn't get the proper chance to show yourself in All Stars 2. It's happy and it's sad and it's exciting and it's scary, all rolled up in one big emotional ball. It's very confusing, hard to put into words. This is your second time making it to the finale of a season of Drag Race. As she had done in her original season, the Broadway performer and screen actor dominated in acting and comedy challenges (she won Snatch Game again, making her one of two queens in Drag Race herstory to do so twice), but also delivered a few surprises by turning in several memorable runway looks and completely slaying a Lizzo lip-sync fans will be talking about for years to come.Īhead of the All Stars 6 finale, NYLON hopped on the phone with Ginger Minj to talk about making it to the finale, the suicidal feelings she had while competing on All Stars 2, learning to have fun, bonding with RuPaul on the set of AJ and the Queen, the normalization of fatphobia, and why she wouldn't be surprised if Drag Race never crowned a plus-sized queen. Though she didn't walk away with the crown in the end, Ginger came as close as humanly possible, once again making it to the finale as a frontrunner (at least judging by challenge wins). Luckily for her, the return proved more than worth it. It’s an experience the Southern queen feels “tarnished” her legacy on the show - which is partially why she agreed to come back for a third time, despite juggling many other things in her career. This wasn't the case with Ginger Minj, however, who finished as a runner-up in season seven only to be eliminated second on All Stars 2 (third if you count Adore Delano’s self-elimination). ![]() While, in recent years, All Stars has become a catch-all spinoff for any queen that has ever competed on the regular edition of RuPaul’s Drag Race, it is still generally understood that those who made it far on their original season will probably perform similarly when coming back. ![]()
