!Arantxa Castilla-La Mancha [-(10th)-]

!Hannah Conda
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hannahcondaukvstw2.jpg]]

->'''Age''': 31
->'''From''': Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
->'''Original Appearance''': ''[=RuPaul's=] Drag Race Down Under'' Series 2 (runner-up)

->"I have a feeling we're not in Oz anymore, but you girls are gonna click your heels three times 'cause you're going home! ''[chuckle]''"

* AdultsDressedAsChildren: After a slightly underwhelming start to the competition, Hannah manages to shine in the ''Snatch Game: Family Edition'' with her impression of Creator/ShirleyTemple being a hilarious AffectionateParody, completecwith a deranged tap dancing break. This performance results in her second ''Snatch Game'' win.
* HistoryRepeats: Given that Hannah aced the ''Snatch Game'' the first time around, she unsurprisingly does well here with her performance as Shirley Temple.
* {{Pun}}: Hannah's entrance line is a clear reference to ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'', but "Oz" is also a nickname for her native Australia.
* SwarmOfRats: For the ''Drags to Riches Eleganza'' look of the ''Happy Ending Ball'', Hannah creates a gown with colored fake mice attached to it. While the concept is fun and the dress is well made enough, the way the mice are hot glued onto the dress makes it quite distracting. As a result, Hannah places low that week.
* WholeCostumeReference: Her ''For Queen and Country'' frilled-neck lizard looks is inspired by the outfits worn by the protagonists of beloved Australian cult classic ''Film/TheAdventuresOfPriscillaQueenOfTheDesert''.


!La Grande Dame
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lagrandedameukvstw2.jpg]]

->'''Age''': 23
->'''From''': Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France
->'''Original Appearance''': ''Drag Race France'' Season 1 (runner-up)

->"La Grande Dame, '''FRAAAAANCE!'''"

!Marina Summers

!Tia Kofi
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tiakofiukvstw2.jpg]]

->'''Age''': 32
->'''From''': Clapham, South London, England
->'''Original Appearance''': ''[=RuPaul's=] Drag Race UK'' Series 2 (7th)

->"I've been stuck backstage for three years, and not one of you came to look for me."

* AffectionateNickname: All the other queens call her Dada, which means "[[TeamDad dad]]" in childish French other than being rather appropriate considering her [[MediaNotes/{{Dada}} surrealist tendencies]].

!Scarlet Envy

!Scarlet Envy
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scarletenvyukvstw2.jpg]]

->'''Age''': 30
->'''From''': Brooklyn, New York, United States
->'''Original Appearances''': ''[=RuPaul's=] Drag Race'' Season 11 (10th) ''[=RuPaul's=] Drag Race All Stars'' Season 6 (9th)

->"I've been robbed! No, really... Where'd my sausage roll go?"
----
* ContinuityCavalcade: Her talent show performance is an original song where Scarlet purposely gives out bad advice, including recalling Joe Black's H&M fiasco in ''Drag Race UK'' series 2, the many queens of the franchise mentioning the phrase "snatch the crown" in their [=RuMix=] verses, and Jujubee's recurring competitor status.
* LivingStatue: Paying tribute to her New York roots, Scarlet decides to portray the Statue of Liberty for the ''Snatch Game: Family Edition'' and she does a really good job with tons of witty jokes. She managed to place high that week.
* TookALevelInBadass: During her first two seasons, she only a single challenge (and even then, it was a shared win) and hadn't won a single lip-sync. Then came episode 3, she manages to win the ''Drag World'' advertising challenge and her first lip-sync.
* WholeCostumeReference: Her ''For Queen and Country'' look includes the Mount Rushmore headpiece worn by Creator/DeniseRichards in ''Film/DropDeadGorgeous''.

* AffectionateNickname: All the other queens call her Dada, which is rather appropriate considering her [[MediaNotes/Dada surrealist tendencies]].

* TookALevelInBadass: Tia shone in her original season (which, given how stacked the cast of ''Drag Race UK'' Series 2 was, is no small feat) thanks to her wit and charisma, but a succession of naff looks held her back performance-wise. This time, Tia's had a massive glow-up in the aesthetics department and it shows with her ''For Queen and Country'' outfit, a gown of Nigerian-style fabric in the colours of the UK flag, in reference to her mixed heritage.
** Her improvement especially shows in the challenge that sent her home last time: the ''Snatch Game'' where she redeems herself with her hilarious Anne Boleyn impression, as well as getting her first badge.

* AffectionateNickname: All the other queens call her Dada, which is rather appropriate considering her [MediaNotes/Dada surrealist tendencies].

!Choriza May

!Gothy Kendoll
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gothykendollukvstw2.jpg]]

->'''Age''': 25
->'''From''': Leicester, Leicestershire, England
->'''Original Appearance''': ''[=RuPaul's=] Drag Race UK'' Series 1 (10th)

->"Get ready ladies...I hope you like it "roar".
----
* BadImpressionists: Her impression of Kim Woodburn in the ''Snatch Game: Family Edition'' could've been a way for Gothy to finally come out of her shell, as Woodburn is known for being over-the-top and loud. But due to Gothy's nerves, her impression had lacked the energy and hamminess that Kim is known her. Coupled with an underwhelming runway look, and Gothy landed in the bottom where just ''barely'' avoided being eliminated.
* ShrinkingViolet: Gothy lands in the bottom 2 in the premiere for her lack of confidence during her talent show, almost looking as if she was waiting for it to be over, and being amazed that her own fire trick worked. Marina comments that such behaviour is unjustifiable on the international stage of ''UK vs. the World''.

* BlackComedy: After failing the ''Snatch Game'' the first time she played, Tia redeems herself with her performance as a freshly [[OffWithHerHead beheaded]] UsefulNotes/AnnBoleyn whose more or less annoyed that her head was chopped off. With tons of darkly humorous jokes and snark, Tia managed to gain her second win of the season.

** Her improvement especially shows in the challenge that sent her home last time: the ''Snatch Game'' where she redeems herself with her hilarious Ann Boleyn impression, as well as getting her first badge.

* TookALevelInBadass: Tia shone in her original season (which, given how stacked the cast of ''Drag Race UK'' Series 2 was, is no small feat) thanks to her wit and charisma, but a succession of naff looks held her back performance-wise. This time, Tia's had a massive glow-up in the aesthetics department and it shows with her ''For Queen and Country'' outfit, a gown of Nigerian-style fabric in the colours of the UK flag, in reference to her mixed heritage.

* BadImpressionists: Despite with the ''Snatch Game'' in her original season, her performance in the ''Snatch Game: Family Edition'' was a major step down. She decided to go with Creator/FranDrescher and while she did have Fran's iconic laugh down, she didn't have any real jokes and the ones she did have fell flat. This put her in the bottom which led to her surprisingly early exit.

* BadImpressionists: Her impression of Kim Woodburn in the ''Snatch Game: Family Edition'' could've been a way for Gothy to finally come out of her shell, as Woodburn is known for being over-the-top and loud. But due to Gothy's nerves, her impression had a lacked the energy and hamminess that Kim is known her.

!Keta Minaj
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ketaminajukvstw2.jpg]]

->'''Age''': 42
->'''From''': Amsterdam, North Holland, The Netherlands
->'''Original Appearance''': ''Drag Race Holland'' Season 2 (4th)

->"Hooooo!! It's time to say "yay" to your K."
----
* CommonalityConnection: Keta is of Dutch-Indonesian heritage, so she bonds with Marina Summers, a fellow South-East Asian.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: While this applies to almost every ''All Stars'' and ''Vs the World'' competitor, it's particularly prominent for Keta. As she puts it in her ''Meet the Queens'', she's known as a "robbed queen" after having been controversially eliminated from her original season despite having been the statistical frontrunner at the time.
* PerkyGoth: Keta has a penchant for witchy and dark looks, which she says provide a contrast to her sunny personality.

* UnderdressedForTheOccasion: The final category for the ''Happy Ending Ball'' the queens had to create a ballgown look for rags and scraps. Being voted as the "neediest queen" Arantxa gets a ten second head start to grab materials, but her gothic-based look, while a great idea in concept, is quite basic compared to the other queens, combined with her lack of seamstress skills showing via hem and sleeve length issues. Arantxa ended up in the bottom where La Grande Dame chose to send her home after winning the lip-sync.

* CompletelyMissingThePoint: In her final Untucked, many of her competitors comment about the choice between sending home bigger competition versus playing fair with regards to considering track record. Jonbers, who is in the bottom with Keta Minaj, is not shown to understand that the queens consider Keta to be the "bigger competition", as she had been in the top two the previous episode and won three challenges on her original season.

* SwarmOfRats: For the ''Drags to Riches Eleganza'' look of the ''Happy Ending Ball'', Hannah creates a gown with colored fake mice attached to it. While the concept is fun and the dress is well made enough, the way the mice are hot glued onto the dress makes it quite distracting. As a result, Hannah just barely stays out of the bottom two.

!Jonbers Blonde
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jonbersblondeukvstw2.jpg]]

->'''Age''': 33
->'''From''': Belfast, County Antrim, Northern Ireland
-> ''Original Appearance'': [=RuPaul's=] Drag Race UK'' Series 4 (4th=)

->"Top of the morning to ya!"
----
* CultureEqualsCostume: For her ''For Queen and Country'' runway, being this series' Irish representative, her outfit is a dragged-up take on a {{Leprechaun}}.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Jonbers admits that she was "delusional" in her original season, believing herself to be "the fashion queen" but being quickly disproven. This time, she fully leans into this angle and expresses her desire to look stupid and have fun.

* WholeCostumeReference: For her ''Ruveal Yourself!'' runway, she goes as is a lawyer-friendly and burlesque version of Marge Simpson from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''.
