RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars is an American reality competition spin off edition of the original RuPaul's Drag Race , which is produced by World of Wonder, for Logo TV and later VH1. The show premiered on October 22, 2012, on Logo TV, before relocating to VH1. However, it was announced on February 20, 2020, on the show's official Twitter account that the fifth season would premiere on June 5, 2020, on Showtime. [1] Following the cast announcement on May 8, 2020, producers announced that the show would remain airing on VH1 instead of Showtime due to the COVID-19 pandemic which caused "various scheduling and programming adjustments". [2] On February 24, 2021, Paramount+ announced via Twitter that the streaming service would be the new home to the series for the sixth season. [3]

Contents

The show documents past queens from the Drag Race franchise (primarily from the original series) returning to compete at the invitation of RuPaul. As in the original series, RuPaul plays the role of host, mentor, and head judge and contestants are given different challenges each week. RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars employs a panel of judges currently composed of RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, Ross Mathews, and Ts Madison who, along with a host of guest judges, critique contestants' progress throughout the competition. The winner of each season is awarded a cash prize and a spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame. A notable exception is the seventh season where, due to the cast consisting of previous winners of the franchise, the winner was instead crowned as "Queen of All Queens".

Format

For the most part, the format of the All Star Drag Race resembles that of the main series - with each episode consisting of a maxi challenge (which determines who is eligible for elimination), and a lip-sync (which determines who is eliminated). However, each cast is composed of former contestants and the format for the competition is altered.

Format Variation

The main differences in format to the main series are as follows:

RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars is the first All-Star season of RuPaul's Drag Race and premiered on the Logo network on October 22, 2012. [4] Cast members were announced on August 6, 2012. [5] The queens that were invited back to compete were: Alexis Mateo, Chad Michaels, Jujubee, Latrice Royale, Manila Luzon, Mimi Imfurst, Nina Flowers, Pandora Boxx, Raven, Shannel, Tammie Brown and Yara Sofia. The season featured these twelve returning contestants from seasons one to four, for a chance to be inducted into the "Drag Race Hall of Fame". It is the only season of All Stars to have the contestants compete in teams of two. This series consists of six episodes, each aired in a 60-minute time-slot. [6] Contestants were judged on their "charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent" and, since they competed in teams of two, also "synergy". The winner received a supply of MAC cosmetics, a "one of a kind trip" and $100,000. [7]

In each episode, the judges provide their critiques on the contestants' performances in the main challenge and on the runway before RuPaul announces which team is the winner and which teams had the weakest performances. The teams deemed as being the bottom two must "lip sync for their lives" and choose a queen to represent their team in the lip sync in a final attempt to impress RuPaul. After the lip sync, RuPaul decides who stays and who leaves. RuPaul describes the qualities the contestants must have to be crowned the winner of the show as "Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent... These are people who have taken adversity and turned it into something that is beautiful and something powerful." [8] The phrase "charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent" is used repeatedly on the show, the acronym of which is CUNT. On the All Stars season, "synergy" was added to provide an explanation behind the contestants being sorted into teams (expanding the acronym into CUNTS). The winner was Chad Michaels, while Raven placed as the runner-up, again.

Season 2 (2016)

A second season of All Stars was announced in 2015 and started shooting immediately after season 8. The show was to begin airing on August 25, 2016. Along with the season premiere's announcement, the cast of All Stars 2 were revealed. The cast consisted of 10 returning contestants, Adore Delano, Alaska, Alyssa Edwards, Coco Montrese, Detox, Ginger Minj, Katya, Phi Phi O'Hara, Roxxxy Andrews, and Tatianna. [9] A new twist was revealed for this season changing the format of the show. In previous seasons, the two lowest performing queens had to "Lip Sync for their Life" to avoid elimination. This season has the two best-performing queens of the challenge "Lip Sync for their Legacy", with the winner of the lip sync earning $10,000 and choosing which one of the bottom queens to eliminate. However, on their exit, RuPaul advised the first four eliminated queens that they will have the opportunity to come back for their "revenge", with the winner gaining entry back into the competition.

This season featured a lip-sync to the Rihanna song 'Shut Up and Drive' by Alyssa Edwards and Tatianna that has frequently been rated the number one best Drag Race lip-sync performance. [10] [11] The winner was Alaska, while Detox and Katya placed as the runners-up.

Untucked!

Just like RuPaul's Drag Race , episodes of the first season of All Stars were followed by an Untucked! episode each week, giving the viewers a glimpse into the backstage drama and discussions between the returning contestants. For the second, third, and fourth seasons, the contestants deliberated among themselves in the workroom on who each of the top 2 would eliminate if they won the Lip Sync for Your Legacy. This served as a mini-Untucked! as there were no separately filmed Untucked companion episodes for those seasons. On June 5, 2020, it was announced that the aftershow series would return for the fifth season. [32]
