Streaming service Stan has just announced three new guest judges for its upcoming season of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under, and we are surprised and delighted.

Australia’s favourite wildlife warriors, Bindi and Robert Irwin, will join regular judges RuPaul Charles, Michelle Visage and Newcastle’s own Rhys Nicholson in guest roles on the judging panel.
It feels like a departure from the Irwin’s wholesome family friendly vibe but honestly what an amazing choice. We cannot wait to hear Robert’s quips as the queens stomp down the runway.
It’s also really nice that the Irwins even considered coming on the show after Art Simone’s questionable impersonation of Bindi during last season’s Snatch Game. Apparently, it actually encouraged them to jump onboard.
“How could we not be involved in a show as fun and iconic as RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under?!” Bindi and Robert Irwin said.
“We’re big fans and were chuffed to help kick off the new season, especially after Art Simone‘s hilarious Snatch Game impersonation last year! We can’t wait to see how all our Down Under kanga-rus go this season.”
The Irwins aren’t the only guest judges revealed. From wildlife warriors to warrior princess, badass Lucy Lawless, of Xena fame, will also join the judging panel.
If the category isn’t ‘Warrior Princess’ then we riot.
“I absolutely loved being part of the new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under and can’t believe I got to sit beside RuPaul, Michelle and Rhys!” Lucy said.
“Of course I know a thing or two about being a warrior princess but these new queens are absolutely next level. So fierce and so fabulous, I was in complete awe and am really looking forward to seeing how they all go!”
Drag Race Down Under season two kicks off this Saturday. Peep the list of queens competing here.
