How to watch RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars

Share

RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars is returning for its fifth season and once again we’ll get to see 10 past queens return to the runway for a chance to claim their spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame.

According to award-winning host and executive producer RuPaul, season 5 will be a bit different from past seasons as it will feature a new twist. In season 5, only the main challenge winner will lip sync for her legacy against a Lip Sync Assassin which will be a notable contestant from a previous season. If the All-Star wins the lip sync, she’ll get the power to eliminate a fellow queen and win a $10,000 jackpot cash prize. However, if the Lip Sync Assassin wins, the eliminated queen will be determined after a vote by the rest of the contestants.

  • Blair St. Clair (Season 10)
  • Derrick Barry (Season 8)
