Who Is the Eye Candy on 'RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars?'

This article contains spoilers for "RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars."
It was no surprise this week on "RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars" that the mini-challenge to create the best thirst trap for the new dating app Archer was won by Gala Varo of Mexico. The contestants have often pointed out that Gala is the hottest looker in the Werk Room. Even Ru's fave Kitty Scott-Claus couldn't wisecrack her way into a win. And Alyssa Edwards complained that there was no contest, given how they've all been hungering for her. Even in a camp challenge, Gala won because of her sexy androgynous beauty. She's one of the few queens who could strip down and join the Pit Crew.
Speaking of the Pit Crew, the breakout personality is Sebastian Zambrano, the Colombian model whose compact body and boyish good looks turned him into an instant fan favorite.
These two Latin men have been this season's eye candy; unfortunately Gala made a disastrous "Snatch Game of Love" appearance this week, and even her sexy reveal on the runway, which left little to the imagination, couldn't save her from elimination. But the past few weeks have been rough for Gala, who was in the bottom twice and lip-synched her way to remaining in competition. The third time, though, wasn't a charm since the song chosen for the lip-synch wasn't the usual female pop anthem, but "Mah Na Mah Na" by The Muppets. This required a level of performance for which the Swedish queen, Vanity Vain, excelled. And the song choice prevented Gala from performing any of her expert acrobatic moves and she sashayed away. But Gala may have the last laugh, because on Reddit's tracking of the queen's Instagram followers, she has been getting the most new followers, with Ru's fave Kitty getting the least. No doubt viewers are taken by Gala, and her IG (see below for some examples) is a showcase for her amazing creativity and divergent beauty.
There are numerous reasons why "Global All Stars" is one of the weakest entries in the Runiverse, but one of its few pluses is Pit Crew newbie Zambrano, who played the role of photographer in the mini-challenge with just a Speedo and winning smile. One contestant, the Aussie Kween Kong, even commented that all she could think of was Zambrano while she was being photographed during the mini-challenge.
But just who is Sebastian Zambrano? According to his page for the Colombian model agency iTalenti, Zambrano "is currently the image of the national clothing brand called Abril, has had the opportunity to do several TV commercials, one with Laura Acuña as the image of the Body Crunch exercise machine, as an extra in productions called 'Sabados de Crónicas' from Univision Televisión Mexicana, has experience in reality shows such as 'Escuela para esposos' from Fox, presented in Argentina, [and] as a catwalk model for several brands of swimwear, underwear and outerwear at renowned fashion fairs in Colombia." He is also, according to his Instagram page, a student pilot.
