![]() ![]() For instance, All Stars 3 was a collection of alumni desperate to prove themselves in a burgeoning spinoff still finding its footing, and All Stars 4 was a true mess of personalities all around, ending in a lackluster double crowning. This means that All Stars has been consistently welcoming back talented queens, sometimes seemingly without thinking about the broader picture of how the cast will play off of one another. The Drag Race formula has been devised to ensure that there is one franchise of the show airing (or about to air) at all times. And dare I say, better than it has been in years! (Hello, Kylie Sonique Love!)Īfter a brief pause on that conceit for a spinoff within a spinoff- All Stars 7, if you’ll remember, was the all-winners season, where previously crowned queens duked it out for the title of Queen of All Queens-the original recipe is back. Queens who were eliminated early can compete alongside queens who were inches from the crown, and have a legitimate shot at winning. This means that it can be a place for just about anyone in Drag Race herstory, as long as they made some kind of lasting impression during their time in front of the camera. And that’s why All Stars was created, to give a shot to the queens who showed massive potential, but didn’t get to bask in the spotlight of primetime reality television long enough. Kasha-who was essentially booted from Season 7 of Drag Race proper after she flubbed the word “welcome,” and pronounced it as “wel- cyoom,” in one of my favorite franchise moments of all time-never really got her due. Kasha Davis returned to my screen in RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 8 (the first two episodes of which are now streaming on Paramount+), knocking The Return off its pedestal. The first came nearly six years ago, when Twin Peaks: The Return began airing, and slowly transformed into one of the most important artistic achievements since the dawn of the moving image. From memorable quotes to iconic scenes, there are plenty of RPDR seasons that stand out for being far above the rest.There are two moments in the history of television that I never thought I would live to see.

With everyone being so unique and talented, RuPaul, Michelle Visage, and revolving judges Carson Kressley and Ross Mathews have a tough judging job ahead of them. The eight winning queens being judged on the main stage are Raja (season 3), Jinkx Monsoon (season 5), Monét X Change and Trinity the Tuck ( All Stars 4), Shea Couleé ( All Stars 5), Yvie Oddly (season 11), Jaida Essence Hall (season 12), and The Vivienne ( RPDR UK season 1). ![]()
