The 10 competitors have one goal in mind: to become the first ever queen to win this legendary series across the pond. 

Their age ranges go as young as 19 all the way up to 35. And their stage names, just like the ones in the United States, are nothing short of entertaining.

Take a peek at the 10 queens competing:
