Right, let’s get seated for this, shall we? One of the greatest things about this truly stellar All Stars 10 and what makes it one of the best RuPaul’s Drag Race seasons ever is the fact there is so much drama and talent not just on the show, but the queens are giving us life with rumours and juicy tidbits off the show too. Bracket three was a bit dry in comparison to the other two we saw before the semi finals began last week – besides one major rumour. The All Stars 10 rumour suggested that Denali truly did not take her loss in the Drag Race Miley lip sync with Ginger Minj well, kicked off big time and refused to film any more confessionals. Reddit and Twitter are discussing this ferociously, especially when that episode aired. Well, now we’re deep into the semi finals we now have one major bit of evidence that suggests there MIGHT be truth to the rumours after all.
The original rumour got debunked
Okay, it alls started with one big give away: Fans spotted that in Denali’s confessionals for All Stars 10, she sometimes had longer hair than other shots.

At first, people thought this was a spoiler that Denali would make it through to the All Stars 10 semi final. Because we know now that the original brackets were filmed in June / July 2024, with the returning queens coming back to film the semi as recent as April 2025. But the thing is, Denali didn’t get through to the semi final. Unjustly so, but still.
So why was Denali filmed with different hair lengths?
The rumour now has a lot more weight
When Denali lost her lip sync to Ginger in episode two of her bracket, there were a few shots that bolstered the rumour that Denali wasn’t happy about it. It showed her looking like she wasn’t joining in with the enthusiasm of the other queens. Rumours then began that Denali refused to film anymore after it – and notably, wouldn’t do confessionals.
Instead of a spoiler that the hair length changing proved Denali made it through to the semi, the rumour now is backed by the fact it seems like Denali came back to All Stars 10 at a later date to film more Drag Race confessionals. Wild. Although, to be fair, the show could just have got her back for any reason in the editing process and just not realised the hair length continuity error.
There’s also a chance that Denali returns as the wild card for the lip sync smackdown – which all the brackets got told about when their respective queens didn’t make it through.
