Are you ready for the “Fame Games”? For the first time in herstory, RuPaul Charles is shaking up the competition in “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” Season 8 to allow two methods of success. “There are two ways to win,” Mama Ru tells her 12 comeback contestants in the video trailer above. (See the cast list right here.) “The first is the traditional way,” the host explains, and that comes with the normal $200,000 cash prize. In the second way, “fans will determine which of our eliminated queens will win Queen of the Fame Games,” and they’ll receive a not-too-paltry $50,000.
