Every cast of RuPaul's Drag Race queens promises intense drama ahead. But, with a game-changing format shift, the largest crop of contestants in her-story (18 divas!), and having put Mistress Isabelle Brooks and Nicole Paige Brooks in the same room, RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 is shaping up to follow through on the competitors' promise of a wild ride ahead.

There's no containing the chaos in the All Stars 10 queens' first-ever, exclusive group interview with Entertainment Weekly (above). From season 15's ice water icon Irene the Alien revealing the alleged whereabouts of season 8's Robbie Turner to season 14 trans goddess Kerri Colby getting up to flee the set amid a mid-shoot mishap, it's clear this cast of returning contestants brings the theatrics even outside the confines of the Werk Room.

For all the "malicious gay f----try" in store on All Stars 10 (at least, according to Nicole), the season also marks a serious turning point in the franchise's legacy, with new rules separating the cast into three separate brackets of six queens each, that will hold mini, tournament-style duels across a point-based series of maxi challenges to determine three winners from each group to advance to the finals.

"For a lot of girls, this was the first time they ever felt like they were [in the] top six, and it showed, and I loved it,” season 9 and All Stars 3 alum Aja jokes, while season 14 finalist Bosco thinks the competition is now a "more fair experience going into All Stars" that equalizes the girls, seeing as some are on their third (Aja, Jorgeous, Cynthia Lee Fontaine) and even fourth (Ginger Minj) season.

“I think being in a smaller group, there’s more chance to focus on everything.... you’re able to keep your eye on the girls a little bit more," season 13's Tina Burner adds of the dynamic. "I can watch every one of them and all the shady s--- they’re trying to do, and know who to not talk to and who to keep at a tender distance.”
