Who is Jan? 'RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars' queen once competed in 'AGT'
Participating in 'RuPaul's Drag Race' is not for the faint of heart. With over-the-top challenges, looks and more, it's truly commendable to see the creativity the queens put out each week. But, not all queens have a great run the first time around, which is understandable, it can all get rather overwhelming. So, it's an absolute delight to see queens return on 'All Star' seasons, where they're a lot more relaxed and ready to have fun the second time around. For Jan, she couldn't seem to catch a break on her season, thanks to the constant critiques by judges. But the queen is back again for 'All Stars' Season 6 and she's feeling as confident as ever.
Season 13 saw queens Symone, Rose, Kandy Muse and Gottmik make it to the top. Now, with 'All Stars' Season 6 here, it's time to see what the past queens have in store for fans.
