Season 7 of Raja's obsession with cults. The stakes are higher than ever this All Stars, as past fierce winners from the franchise are competing again to win $200,000 and gain the prestigious title "Queen of All Queens."
Over the years, queens determined to show their charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent have brought drama and spice to Drag Race. All Stars is always full of riveting acting, design, and impersonation challenges, but a select few live rent-free in fans' heads.
'Snatch Game of Love' (S5, E5) - 8.8
Snatch Game, the iconic impersonation challenge in the franchise, took on a new format during RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 5. Staged as a dating show, Snatch Game of Love had the queens impersonate celebrities while trying to woo the show's guest stars.
Shea Couleé and Alexis Mateo stole the show with their respective performances as Flavor Flav and Walter Mercado. Fans also thought that Jujubee was a close frontrunner for her hilarious spoof of Eartha Kitt. Without a doubt, Snatch Game deviating from its usual format brought variety to the show and thrilled the viewers.
'The Realness of Fortune Ball' (S7, E3) - 8.8
The Ball Challenge is one of the most notoriously difficult parts of Drag Race. Fans were excited to see what the contestants in All Stars season 7 were going to serve the judges, seeing as all of them were winners of their respective seasons.
The categories of the Realness of Fortune Ball were Vanna White Realness, Before and After, and Realness of Fortune Eleganza. While Raja Gemini arguably created one of the most beautiful looks for the Realness of Fortune Ball, the judges agreed that Jaida Essence Hall and Trinity The Tuck performed best in all of the categories.
'All Stars Supergroup' (S2, E8) - 8.9
During the eighth episode of All Stars season 2, the final four had to create their own rap verse and perform RuPaul's song Read U Wrote U. Since Katya Zamolodchikova, Alaska Thunderf***, Roxxxy Andrews, and Detox were known for their comedic chops and quick wit, the verses they wrote were nothing short of fabulous and even spawned hilarious memes.
Alaska was also crowned the winner of All Stars season 2 and inducted into the Drag Race Hall of Fame during this episode after beating Katya and Detox for the finale lip-sync.
'Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown' (S6, E10) - 9.0
Throughout All Stars season 6, RuPaul constantly teased the queens about a "game within a game." After Eureka O'Hara's elimination during the ninth episode, it was finally revealed that the eliminated queens have a chance to return to the competition if they win the Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown.
The iconic Midwestern queen Silky Nutmeg Ganache impressively fought for her spot back in the competition as she consecutively won six lip syncs against the other eliminated queens. However, Silky fans were disappointed as the queen wasn't able to secure a spot back in the competition after losing against Eureka.
'Side Hustles' (Season 6, Episode 3) - 9.2
During the third episode of All Stars season 6, the queens had to team up and star in a commercial to their side hustle. Trinity K. Bonet, one of the queens who had the best Ru-demption arc, shone during the main challenge and was crowned the top all star of the week.
But the episode garnered a high rating on IMDb due to its guest lip-sync assassin. Trinity had to battle fellow that week's lip-sync assassin, Laganja Estranja. Being the stunt queen that she is, Laganja didn't hold back and did multiple, jumps, splits, and death drops, blocking Trinity from taking home a cash tip of $10,000.
'All Stars Snatch Game' (Season 2, Episode 2) - 9.2
The Snatch Game is one of the difficult challenges in Drag Race. It's not enough for the contestants to impersonate a celebrity to a T; they also need to be quick on their feet and make RuPaul laugh. During the second episode of All Stars Season 2, the returning queens brought their best celebrity parodies to the Snatch Game .
Alaska's stellar performance as Hollywood icon Mae West and Katya's campy impersonation of Björk were received well by both the judges and the viewers.
'Legends' (Season 7, Episode 1) - 9.3
The premiere episode of All Stars season 7 is one of the highest-rated episodes of the franchise, as fans were pumped to see the winners compete in the show again. In addition, many viewers were also happy to hear that no one was going to be eliminated during the all-winners season.
RuPaul also brought out the supermodel Naomi Campbell during the first episode of All Stars 7 to judge and give on the queens' runway walks. Fans were moved by the touching interaction between Naomi and All Stars season 5 winner Shea as the queen professed how much they adored the supermodel.
'All Star Talent Show Extravaganza' (Season 2, Episode 1) - 9.4
What better way to kick off All Stars season 2 than by holding a talent show where the queens could put their performance chops on display? During the All Star Talent Show Extravaganza, the queens showed off their various talents in singing, dancing, gymnastics, and spoken word.
The top two queens put on some of the most memorable talent show performances in the franchise. The charismatic queen Tatianna captivated the judges with her witty spoken-word piece. Meanwhile, the polished pageant queen Roxxxy Andrews did a stunning burlesque number. The episode remains rent-free in fans' heads due to the unforgettable talent show performances, as well as the drama surrounding the new elimination setup.
'Revenge of the Queens' (Season 2, Episode 5) - 9.6
Drama ensued after the competing queens of All Stars 2 learned that the eliminated queens had a chance of competing again in the competition. There was noticeable tension between Phi Phi O'Hara and Alyssa Edwards, especially since Phi Phi called out Alyssa for being the judges' darling.
Tatianna and Alyssa were the top performers of the week and viewers were treated to a jaw-dropping lip-sync performance to Rihanna's "Shut Up and Drive." Even RuPaul thought that the lip-sync was remarkable — so much so that both queens won the lip-sync and returned to the competition.
'Snatch Game' (Season 7, Episode 2) - 9.8
With all the contestants as winners of their respective seasons, viewers of All Stars season 7 had high hopes for the Snatch Game challenge — and they weren't disappointed, as the queens brought their A-game. The Snatch Game was also extra difficult for the queens, as they were required to play two characters instead of one.
Jinkx Monsoon's hilarious performance as Natasha Lyonne and Judy Garland was a pure delight to watch on television. Jinkx will go down in the herstory of the show as one of the queens who won two Snatch Games, along with her fellow Seattle sister, BenDeLaCreme.
