Katya reacts to Drag Race All Stars: Best Friends Edition fan-cast
(L-R) Violet Chachki and Gottmik; Trixie Mattel and Katya; Monét X Change and Bob the Drag Queen
And yes, her response is as hilarious as you'd think.
Katya isn't interested in returning to compete on RuPaul's Drag Race — a point she's made several times over the course of many years. But as yet another social media stan decided to fan-cast a long-theorized season consisting of Drag Race BFFs competing against other power duos in an All Stars format, Katya actually took the time to respond.

For a few years now, a section of the Drag Race fandom continues to daydream about a season dubbed Drag Race All Stars: Best Friends Edition in which Katya would compete alongside her BFF in RuPaul's queendom, All Stars 3 winner Trixie Mattel.
This particular lineup of queens shared by X user @itssimplyangel included Trixie and Katya competing against other power duos such as Bob the Drag Queen and Monét X Change; Kim Chi and Naomi Smalls; Violet Chachki and Gottmik; and Gigi Goode and Symone.
Though she isn't known to engage with that much Drag Race-related content on social media, Katya did see this particular lineup of queens that she and Trixie would theoretically compete against. Her reaction?
"THE WAY Me and Trix would be first out, prob not even make it through the first mini challenge LMAO."
These queens are obviously big fans of the show and are grateful for the platform that they've gained by competing on the series. Many of them have hosted The Pit Stop… Several times, even! Katya is also a beloved recurring guest on The Pit Stop who fans are always thrilled and delighted to see as she shares her candid reactions to a new batch of contestants.
A wise woman once said, "At this point, Trix, the dolls are the dolls." It's been made clear by both Trixie and Katya that they aren't interested in competing on the show again. Bob and Monét have expressed similar feelings. So has Violet, and Kim Chi, too.
All tea, no shade: Katya is a global drag superstar who has her own talk show, cohosts podcasts and web series, releases original music, writes books, tours the world, is one of the most-followed RuGirls in the Drag Race franchise, and renews her stan cards for Demi Moore and the Dune franchise with recurring posts on social media.
In the meantime, we're thankful that the Tournament of All Stars is actually iconic, and fans are having a blast watching it.
