Drag Race Down Under unveils guest judges for season 4
Stan has unveiled the guest judge lineup for the newly-retitled Drag Race Down Under season 4, including Aussie stars and previous queens.
The new season – the first without RuPaul – kicks off on Friday, November 1. Stan revealed the next lineup of Down Under queens two weeks ago.
After Ru’s exit, the fourth season is instead hosted by Michelle Visage. On Monday, a new trailer for the season dropped.
The special guest judges joining host Michelle and Aussie judge Rhys Nicholson include musician G Flip, RuPaul’s Drag Race season 15 winner Sasha Colby, media darling Sophie Monk, popstar Peach PRC, actor Matt Okine, and New Zealand singer Ladyhawke.
This is also the first time in Drag Race herstory that Down Under queens will be mentoring Down Under queens, with past winners Isis Avis Loren (Season 3), Spankie Jackzon (Season 2) and Kita Mean (Season 1)
Kween Kong (Season 2 runner up and RuPaul’s Drag Race Global All Stars) and Anita Wigl’It (Season 2 and Canada vs. The World) are also appearing.
‘You’re going to love this new season’
Sasha Colby said in a statement, “To serve as a guest judge for Drag Race Down Under is such an honour! The queens, the talent, the lewks – it is next level, and this new season is going to be a gag that we will all eat up. I can’t wait to watch with the rest of the world!”
G Flip said they’re a huge fan of the show and joining the judging panel is an honour.
“It was hard to be a judge because everyone was so amazing and did such a great job,” they said.
Make sure to catch this season because some seriously incredible queens are competing!”
Sophie Monk said, “It was a bloody thrill to be asked back again and this time I got to be there in person! These new queens, oh my god they’re incredible.
“I’m in awe of what they can do, their make-up, everything. Buckle up people, you’re going to love this new season.”
Peach PRC said, “I’ve been a huge fan of Drag Race since the beginning and have watched it religiously over the years!
“It’s such a bucket list moment to actually be a guest on the show and it was such fun being on set.”
Drag Race Down Under season four is streaming on Stan from Friday, November 1.
