Bianca Del Rio returns to Drag Race to show why she’s one of Earth’s biggest drag queens
"Take notes, girls - if you do it right the first time, you don't have to come back!"

Bianca Del Rio returned to the world of RuPaul’s Drag Race on last night’s All Stars – but she didn’t stick around for long.
The seaon six winner’s surprise appearance was initially revealed as a lip-sync against top contestant of the week, Ginger Minj.
However, Bianca – who never lip-sycned on her own season – then decided to call the whole thing off.
“Well, actually, no”
Asked by Ru “are you ready to lip-sync the house down, boo?”, the turbaned former Attitude cover star Bianca replied: “Well, actually, no.
“I’ve decided that I’m not interested in doing it because I didn’t have to do it in my season, so why do it now?”
Fair point.

“Take notes girls,” the 46-year-old then added. “If you do it right the first time, you don’t have to come back!”
The episode’s eventual lip-sync assasin was then revealed as (the brilliant) Mayhem Miller.
