Ricardo, Mike, and Vanjie brought the heat!
Spoilers for season one of All Star Shore on Paramount+ follow.
The first-ever All Star Shore series is coming to an end this week, and it was thankfully inclusive of LGBTQ+ contestants.
Even though All Star Shore was dubbed as an “all-stars” edition of the worldwide Jersey Shore franchise, the series included several reality TV superstars from multiple shows such as RuPaul’s Drag Race, Love Is Blind, Bachelor in Paradise, Ex on the Beach, The Circle: Brazil, and Love Island USA. The series also included breakout stars from Jersey Shore, Geordie Shore, Acapulco Shore, and Rio Shore.
The initial cast of All Star Shore included out gay men Ricardo Salusse (Rio Shore) as well as Vanessa Vanjie Mateo (RuPaul’s Drag Race), who is out of drag throughout the series. After a contestant self-eliminated herself, Ex on the Beach star Mike Mulderrig – who is out bisexual – was added to the cast.
Paramount+ dropped the dramatic finale of All Star Shore on Wednesday, August 31. During this final episode, three finalist teams competed for the grand prize of $150,000: Marina Gregory & James Tindale, Karime Pindter & Ricardo Salusse, and Luis “Potro” Caballero & Vanessa Vanjie Mateo. In the end, only one of those pairs came out victorious and took home the cash prize.
Regardless of the competition, it was the queer viewers in the audience who were the real winners of All Star Shore, thanks to its LGBTQ+ competitors who were not shy about serving eye candy all season long.
Scroll through to see pictures of Mike Mulderrig, Ricardo Salusse, and out-of-drag Vanessa Vanjie Mateo – and make sure to watch them on All Star Shore on Paramount+.
