“I lived for it but I also hated her for it,” says one of the queens while another notes, “I don’t want to get in trouble for fighting her bitch ass.”

“I feel the presence of the season 16 winner in this room,” one contestant shares. “I think it’s me!”
The queens aren’t the only ones bringing in the fun. The new season features an exciting number of major celebrity guest judges, includingSarah Michelle Gellar.
“Ru, I’ve been slaying bitches forever,” says Gellar, referencing herBuffy the Vampire Slayerdays.
