Drag Race Down Under<\/em><\/a> has officially been confirmed for its own Vs the World<\/em><\/a> spin-off \u2013 and alumni are \u201ckinda gagged\u201d.<\/p>\n

On 26 August, Stan \u2013 the show\u2019s network in Australia \u2013 announced that Australasian queens will be \u201cstepping onto the global stage\u201d, with Michelle Visage<\/a> returning as host and Rhys Nicholson as judge.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the panel is Lazy Susan, who conquered Down Under<\/em>\u2019s fourth season \u2014 the first with Visage as host following RuPaul\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n

\u201cLET\u2019S DO THIS!\u201d commented Visage, later writing in her own post that \u201cMAMA\u2019S HERE\u201d and she is \u201cbeyond thrilled, excited and honored to be at the helm once again\u201d for the first season of Drag Race Down Under vs the World.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t WAIT to see the very best in drag that the globe has to offer! What a treasure to behold!\u201d she added. \u201cAre you ready Rhys Nicholson and Lazy Susan? Cuz I AM.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Stan\u2019s post, a plethora of alumni across the franchise celebrated the news \u2013 and even expressed interest in competing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll bring some french pastry if you want it,\u201d wrote La Brioch\u00e9e (France<\/em> season one), while Eve 6000 (Canada<\/em> season two) said she\u2019ll \u201ctake the flight lowkey\u201d.<\/p>\n

Lina Galore, season three winner of Drag Race Italia<\/em>, commented that Italian queens are \u201cREADY!\u201d<\/p>\n
