After the success of the first couple seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race, the first All Stars season was announced. RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars operates just like the regular hit show but with a twist. The 'all stars twist' changes every season and is very important to how the season runs. Instead of just winning a lifetime supply of makeup and $100,000 the queen who wins is crowned an All Star and has her picture hung in the drag race hall of fame alongside RuPaul. The first All Stars season ran in 2012 with Queens from seasons 1-4. The ‘all stars twist’ this season was that the queens would be competing in teams of 2 until the very last episode. If one queen did great and the other poorly in the team based challenges both would be in the bottom and eventually both would go home. The last episode the final two teams were able to break apart and compete as individuals. The winner was Chad Michaels and her picture still hangs in the drag race hall of fame. The second All Stars season aired in 2016 and was arguably the best season of RuPaul’s Drag Race to ever air. The twist in this season was that the top two Queens would lip sync against one another instead of the bottom two. Instead of 'lipsyncing for your life' the Queens would 'lipsync for your legacy'. Whoever won the lipsync would earn $10,000 and the power to eliminate one of the bottom Queens. Later in the season all of the eliminated Queens were invited back to compete with one another to get back in the competition and eliminate one of the Queens currently competing. This resulted in the most epic lipsync of all time between Alyssa Edwards and Tatianna to "Shut up and Drive" by Rihanna. Some of the most memorable Queens like Alyssa Edwards, Detox, Roxxxy Andrews, Katya, etc. brought drama and entertainment to audiences. The winner was Alaska and she was then entered into the Drag Race Hall of Fame. The most recent All Stars season aired in 2018 and only recently ended. The twists in this season were the same as All Stars 2 only that a Queen who already won would be competing again and had the potential to be the only queen with 2 crowns. Another twist was when all of the eliminated Queens were invited back for another challenge like in All Stars 2. The Queens competed in a team challenge, eliminated Queens vs competing Queens. If the eliminated Queens did the best the two best eliminated Queens would lipsync to come back into the competition and send one of the currently competing Queens home. If the queens who were already there did better than the eliminated queens then the two best would lipsync to choose an eliminated Queen to come back and to send a current Queen home. The final twist came during the finale. The eliminated Queens were invited back again and had to vote which two Queens would be the top 2 All Stars that would lip sync for the crown. The winner was Trixie Mattel and she now has her photo hanging in the Drag Race Hall of Fame with RuPaul, Chad, and Alaska.
