Alaska 5000 Joining Future ‘Drag Race’ All-Winners Season ‘Without the Intention of Winning’; Here’s Why
When "RuPaul's Drag Race" announce its all-winners season earlier this year, many fans have been rooting for Alaska 5000 to compete on the show again. However, upon releasing the official cast members, many were disappointed as she wasn't in the lineup.
Today, the crowned queen of "All-Stars 2" is speaking out about her future plans if ever she gets invited back to the show.
In an interview with BuzzFeed, the drag artist was asked if she'd be willing to compete again in future all-winners season as there are still previous contestants who weren't invited back.
The former season 4 finalist said she would join the show again, but clarifies that she has "no intention of winning" because she's rooting for someone else, Bob The Drag Queen of season 8.
"I'd be most excited and most terrified to compete with Bob the Drag Queen. Because I really love working with Bob; like, we've done a few things together, and we just have a great chemistry and a great rapport," she said.
Regarding the plan of not winning the entire show, the drag artist said she just wanted Bob to win and she'll do all the help she could for it to happen.

"Drag Race" favorites Bob, Bianca Del Rio, and Alaska were, unfortunately, not a part of the first all-winners season of the show.
In a previous episode of Alaska 5000's podcast "Race Chaser" with season 4's Willam, the drag queen broke her silence about not competing on "All-Stars 7," saying she wasn't even invited back to compete.
"when I wasn't asked to be on it, I was very, very emotional and I was very, very hurt and sad by that," she said. (via Out)
Alaska said she would ask herself if it was going to be hard for her to take in or even watch and talk about the show knowing that she never got the call.
Her co-host, Willam, offered a theory as to why she wasn't invited back, saying they wanted her to compete with her ex-partner, Sharon Needles, in a future season because they "want to milk it" and use their relationship.
"RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars 7" premiered earlier this year with eight former winners. In the end, Jinkx Monsoon of season 5 took home the title of queen of all queens.
