For a season filled with twists and turns, the finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 10 was surprisingly… unsurprising.

Sure, I was moderately gagged to see Kerri Colby strut into the Werk Room as the official wild-card pick, but only because it felt like the stage had been set for the dramatic return of Mistress Isabelle Brooks. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a total KerBear, but bringing Mistress back would have infused this finale with some much-needed drama.

After a season of spicing up the “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” format, only one queen could come out on top and earn a spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame.

“All Stars” 10 rolled out a new set of rules for the 18 queens, as they competed in the “Tournament of All Stars.” After nine queens emerged victorious from their three bracketed groups, only eight made it to the finale.

Kerri Colby won the lottery wild card spot over Mistress Isabel Brooks to compete in the Lip Sync Smackdown for the Crown against the seven remaining queens Aja, Bosco, Daya Betty, Ginger Minj, Irene the Alien, Jorgeous, and Lydia B Kollins.

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 10 concluded on Friday with the eight finalists competing in the "Tournament of All Stars Smackdown for the Crown." Seven queens, Aja, Bosco, Daya Betty, Ginger Minj, Irene the Alien, Jorgeous, and Lydia B Kollins, outlasted 11 others to survive the opening bracket and semifinals rounds to qualify for the smackdown. Two of those 11, Kerri Colby and Mistress Isabelle Brooks, were nominated by the series judges for one wild card spot. Which of them was chosen for that spot was revealed at the top of the episode.

To find out whether Kerri or Mistress became the eighth finalist and which queen bested them all in the Lip Sync Smackdown for the Crown, read on for our recap of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 10, Episode 12, which began streaming Friday, July 18 at 12 a.m. Pt on Paramount+.

Gooped. Gagged. Gobsmacked. If any of the above describe your current emotional state, there’s a good chance you just finished watching the penultimate episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 10.

I’ll start with the question on every viewer’s mind: What the heck happened to Mistress Isabelle Brooks? Initially considered a frontrunner in the competition, both as a fierce competitor and a shady schemer, the Texas titan returned for the semifinals last week as a shell of her former self, bombing Snatch Game and having to lip sync for her life. But instead of letting this light a fire under her,...

This week on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 10, RuPaul Charles brought together the semifinalists from the three first-round brackets to kick off the second round of the competition. For their first challenge as the top nine, the girls portrayed characters of their choosing in the ultimate impersonation test, "Snatch Game." Among them was Ginger Minj, who previously won this challenge twice before in Season 7 and All Stars 6.

To find out who the queens portrayed this season and who came out as a top and bottom because of it, read on for our recap of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 10, Episode 10, titled "Tournament of All Stars Snatch Game," which began streaming Friday, July 4 at 12 a.m. Pt on Paramount+.

Oh, honey! We’ve reached the RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 merge. After three drama-filled brackets, the nine queens who have advanced to the semi-finals have officially united as they seek victory in the Tournament of All Stars. Representing Bracket One are Aja, Bosco, and Irene the Alien; from Bracket Two, Jorgeous, Lydia B. Kollins, and Mistress Isabelle Brooks; and rounding out Bracket Three are Cynthia Lee Fontaine, Daya Betty, and Ginger Minj.

In this exclusive Collider clip, the queens return to the main stage where RuPaul and Michelle Visage, dressed in sporty jackets, welcome them back. But there’s a twist! The queens are serving fresh confessional looks and facing a brand-new set of rules, with semi-final stakes now in full effect. All points from the first round are wiped clean—everyone starts fresh. Ru will crown one top queen of the week, while the bottom two lip sync for their lives,...

This week on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 10, the third bracket of six returning queens competed in their third of three episodes, concluding their round of the competition and learning which of the three would advance. For the challenge, Zane Phillips guests as a bachelor in a dating show spoof that goes "woof!"

In last week's second challenge, Denali and Ginger Minj performed best within their country trios and earned placement as the top two. Ginger's second Lip Sync for Your Legacy win secured her status as the points frontrunner, followed by Denali and Daya Betty in the second and third spot, respectively. Acid Betty, Alyssa Hunter, and Cynthia Lee Fontaine each only had one point at the start of the episode, but that would change as soon as they handed out their next Most Valuable Queen point.

The girls are fighting again! Friday’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 10 (Paramount+) marks the end of Bracket 3, and TVLine has your exclusive first look (below) as the bottom queens attempt to give out their points without causing too much drama. Spoiler alert: they do not succeed.

In fact, the drama begins before a single point is handed out. The queens take a moment to reflect on the previous episode’s lip sync battle, in which Ginger Minj defeated Denali to the tune of Miley Cyrus’ “See You Again,” and it turns out that not everyone agrees with those results.

This week on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 10, the third bracket of six returning queens competed in their second of three episodes, a performance challenge as two groups of dueling country trios. In last week's first challenge, Daya Betty and Ginger Minj came out on top in the Wicked-themed design challenge, providing themselves an early points lead in the path to the second round. Acid Betty, Alyssa Hunter, Cynthia Lee Fontaine, and Denali all entered the second challenge hoping to close the gap with the early leaders.

Start your engines, because the biggest race in “Drag Race” herstory is already underway. Friday marked the premiere of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” Season 10, with 18 past contestants battling it out in Ru’s first-ever Tournament of All Stars.

The Emmy-winning reality TV franchise has been known to switch up its format in order to keep things fresh, but the AS10 twist is easily the biggest change since Season 1 of the main show debuted back in 2009.

Not only have the 18 contestants been split into three groups of six, but there’s also a brand-new voting system in play that makes social strategy nearly as important as charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent.

Here’s everything you need to know in order to keep up with “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 10,” which drops two new episodes every Friday at 3 a.m. Et:

Nothing rhymes with purple … but regardless, “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” is still returning for Season 10 this week.

In honor of Friday’s first-ever Tournament of All Stars, the six queens who complete the cast of 18 — Acid Betty, Alyssa Hunter, Cynthia Lee Fontaine, Daya Betty, Denali and Ginger Minj (aka the Purple Bracket) — got honest about their evolutions since their original seasons and revealed some fresh tactics for the updated format.

“For people who like sports, it’s going to be kind of interesting,” Seasons 8 & 9 star Cynthia Lee Fontaine told TheWrap. “It’s not as stressful as a regular season. There’s some stress — there’s moments you want to rip off your wig and run to Hollywood Boulevard — but it’s very interesting and very nice.”

“I loved having more intimate relationships with the girls immediately. I felt larger in the room since there’s not so many girls,...

Each week on “The Pit Stop,” Trixie Mattel recaps the latest episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 16 alongside a guest host. Following Friday’s sixth episode, season 12 finalist Crystal Methyd stops by to “welcome the girls to the family” by “judging their awful outfits.” Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.

In their recap of the episode, Crystal confirms that she’s rooting for her Missouri sister Q and that after a few episodes she finally gets the “character” of Plane Jane and is hoping for her to get in a physical fight. Crystal likens Jane to her own drag family member Daya Betty, saying she “knows what she’s in there to do,” but admits that she doesn’t like “Burger Finger” and doesn’t have as clear of a point of view with her drag as other girls like Dawn and Plasma.

Drag families play a crucial role in drag culture, and many appear on RuPaul's Drag Race, allowing fans to compare contestants to their drag family members. Some hauses, such as Haus Montrese and Haus of Methyd, have been well-represented on the show, with both members making it to the season finale. The Haus of Davenport and Haus of Edwards are among the most prominent drag families on Drag Race, known for their talented dancers and big personalities.

Drag families are an essential part of drag culture, and many families have been featured on RuPaul's Drag Race. A haus defines a queen's drag style, which fans can see on the show and compare the contestants to their drag family members. Drag houses are usually complicated and span over decades, but some Ru girls are in hauses just getting their empires started.

The year 2022 was a big one for the RuPaul’s Drag Race franchise as not one, not two, but 12 overall seasons from around the world premiered, ranging from the US to the UK and from Canada to Italy. Drag fans remained glued to their screens as the Drag Race machine pumped out seasons left and right, with some even airing at the same time. As more franchise additions were announced in Brazil, Mexico, Germany, and a new Global All Stars series, viewers can expect to only see the franchise grow.

As far as Drag Race goes, the series has had its fair share of dramatic and controversial moments over the past 13 years that it has been airing, but that is what the fans expect. Specifically, with RuPaul’s Drag Race: UK vs. the World and with the never-ending season 14, the franchise has seen drama galore over the course of the 2022 seasons.

Not everyone can receive a favorable edit on popular reality shows like Netflix's Love Is Blind, but while some villains in 2022 were celebrated among viewers, others gave off the opposite impression. When it comes to reality competitions or dating programs, fans have learned to quickly spot which contestants they would love to see more from, and which they hope fade into relative obscurity. Some reality stars are branded as unlikable, or as downright villains, due to their personalities, while others find that their off-screen antics are what tank their public perceptions.

While many memorable reality television stars like Tiffany "New York" Pollard and former American Idol judge Simon Cowell gained fame through their initial villainous personas, it's important to note that there are instances where a person may be intentionally edited to be portrayed a certain way or may appear competently different off-camera. As the reality television genre has progressed,...

Looks like Lizzo might have yet another hit on her hands. On June 22, the "About Damn Time" singer made a surprise appearance at "RuPaul's Drag Race" alum Kornbread's Night of 1,000 Lizzos tribute show in West Hollywood. There, Lizzo basked in the celebratory environment created in her honor and returned the favor by debuting her new track "Everybody's Gay."

""Y'all don't understand.... I Was Living My Lipsync Dream Last Night!"

Onstage at the event - and dressed as her drag persona, Amazonia Prime - Lizzo brought up "Drag Race" stars like Jaida Essence Hall, Daya Betty, Heidi N Closet, and June Jambalaya as she performed the new song - which she confirmed will appear on her forthcoming album, "Special." "[It's about] living your best life, turning up, and dancing and just having some f*cking fun," she told the audience of the song.

The mononymous songwriter, Drag Race season 14 finalist Angeria Paris VanMicheals, lead editor Jamie Martin and songwriter Gabe Lopez joined The Hollywood Reporter’s Hilton Dresden for THR Presents, powered by Vision Media, to discuss the latest season of the Emmy-winning reality competition series.

Leland, who composes the series’ original music with collaborator Lopez, says that an exciting prospect of the most recent season was the annual “Rusical” titled “Moulin Ru,” inspired by the Baz Luhrmann movie musical and subsequent Broadway show. “Creating ‘Moulin Ru’ was definitely a labor of love [and] one of the most...

“It’s such a shock,” admits Willow Pill in the aftermath of her huge life-changing “RuPaul’s Drag Race” win. For our recent webchat she adds, “You have a dream that you’ve dreamed of for years and years, and in my case like 14 years, and then it’s kind of hard to get out of that dream-state once it’s reality!” Watch our exclusive video interview above.

Over 16 sickeningly glamorous episodes Season 14 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” RuPaul Charles put 14 queens through their paces with comedy roasts, game shows, mini and maxi challenges, soap opera spoofs and lipsync smackdowns to find “America’s next drag superstar.” In the end, only five queens remained with a chance to snatch the coveted crown and scepter. And in the breathtaking climax of the dazzling grand finale episode, it was Willow Pill that triumphed over Angeria, Paris VanMichaels, Bosco, Daya Betty and runner-up Lady Camden,...

Things just keep getting better for “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 14 winner Willow Pill.

Pill is eligible and will be submitted for Emmy consideration for her original song, “I Hate People,” which she performed at the show’s finale on VH1 in April.

Willow co-wrote the anthemic song about not liking anyone with Brett Leland McLaughlin and Gabe Lopez.

“The song ‘I Hate People’ was such a blast to work on because we wanted to go totally left of what the audience would expect,” Pill said of working on the number, in an exclusive statement to TheWrap. “The song is irreverent, catchy and tends to resonate with people after a rough 2 years.”

Season 14 of "RuPaul's Drag Race" was unlike any other we've ever seen. From the unexpected twists to the out-of-the-box fashions to a historic finale, this season's cast held nothing back as they competed for the "Drag Race" crown. After many (many) lip-syncs and shocking elimination rounds, RuPaul finally declared Willow Pill, aka "Wiwwl Piwwl," a winner, baby. It's been nearly three weeks since the season's final episode was filmed, and Pill is still processing her victory.

"I really want to release some of the pressure that I feel and just have the win in a lane that is really fun, wild, but also relaxed, and still enjoyable."

"It feels great, honestly. I think I'm really just in the beginning of starting to compute that [I'm season 14's winner]," they tell Popsugar. As the first trans woman to win a non-All Stars season of "RuPaul's Drag Race," Pill shares that...

Exclusive: After nearly two seasons heavily struck by the pandemic, RuPaul’s Drag Race concluded its fourteenth season with an in-person finale extravaganza held at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas. Despite the return to the showy Drag Race pomp and circumstance, the Season 14 finale couldn’t quite match up to Season 13’s ratings.

Friday’s finale, which crowned Willow Pill America’s Next Drag Superstar, delivered 697,000 total viewers in Live+Sd. For comparison, the Season 13 ender in 2021 brought in 772,000 total viewers and marked the most-watched episode for the franchise since the Season 10 finale in 2018.

Willow Pill bested runner-up Lady Camden and fellow finalists Angeria Paris VanMichaels, Bosco and Daya Betty. Also walking away a winner was Kornbread “The Snack” Jeté, who won Miss Congeniality. To make victory even sweeter, Willow Pill took home a franchise-high cash prize of 150,000 while Lady Camden won 50,000. Read the full recap here.

When it comes to other stats,...

I have to admit that I am not usually a big fan of the reunion episodes of Ru Paul’s Drag Race as sometimes they feel as if they are just a filler episode to meet the required episode count. The fact that a whole hour episode was dedicated to looking at things that the audience had already watched felt like a waste of time and was simply a way to add an extra commissioned episode to the season! This initial idea was only intensified by the fact that many people have viewed this season as the never-ending show with numerous episodes where no one was eliminated or queens have returned, I was already anticipating another meaningless episode where nothing changes in the overall competition. However, last week’s episode that saw all the queens of season fourteen return was one of my favourite episodes! We had the classic revisiting...

On this 14th season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” RuPaul Charles put 14 queens through her annual gauntlet of lipsync smackdowns, comedy roasts and game shows, soap opera spoofs, mini and maxi challenges, library reads and chocolate bar unwrapping to find “America’s next drag superstar.” In the end, only five queens remained with a chance to snatch the coveted crown and scepter. Was it Angeria Paris VanMichaels, Bosco, Daya Betty, Lady Camden or Willow Pill that had the right mix of charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent that Ru was looking for?

Check out our full “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 14 “Grand Finale” recap below:

For the first time in three seasons, the “Drag Race” finale took place in front of a live audience — this time at the Flamingo Las Vegas, home of the “RuPaul’s Drag Race Live” show. In the spirit of Sin City, the cast of season 14 walked the catwalk in their best showgirl couture.

We've found our new winner! America's Next Drag Superstar was crowned in a grand ceremony on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 14 Episode 16.

A fabulous night of Las Vegas shenanigans and showgirl looks closed the book on a roller-coaster season.

Did the finale end on a high note? Did the Final five come to slay? (I've got a wittle feeling that it didn't disappoint.)

Before we get into the lip-syncing, we need to chat about the finale looks. The queens go all out for "Grand Finale," so these ensembles end on a bang!

Alyssa Hunter, Kornbread, Kerri Colby, Angeria Paris VanMichaels, and Lady Camden had the Top 5 favorite looks of the night.

Alyssa and Angeria shined in their breathtaking opulent gowns. Alyssa always brought style to the runway, but her rich madam look and money fan redeemed any issues over her lip-sync mishap.

And Angeria's gigantic blue showgirl feathers stole the show.

In a season full of twists, RuPaul’s Drag Race just delivered the biggest one yet: it actually ended!

The longest competition in the show’s herstory finally reached its conclusion on Friday with an extravaganza filmed on the Flamingo Las Vegas stage, with the largest group of “final” queens — Angeria Paris VanMichaels, Bosco, Daya Betty, Lady Camden and Willow Pill — battling for the crown, the title and the 150,000 grand prize.
