Ladies and gentlemen and all those in between, here is the season's Golden Boot.

Nick Taylor: Hi y’all! I’m so happy to be back this week, for a very special episode. We have witnessed what will surely be remembered as the most iconic runway of the season, from the slaysian diva of LA and the protagonist of all four episodes she’s starred in so far. Serena Cha Cha walked so Joella could run. Behold what she has given us.

CLÁUDIO Alves: It feels premature to start the RuCap by mentioning the runway, but you’re so right to mention that quilted monstrosity. Joella’s rectangular slay was truly something to behold. Bound to become a meme, she stole the spotlight from Crystal Envy whose tumbleweed realness would have surely ignited social media if not for Miss J-o-e but don’t forget the ‘Ella. Girl, this was such a fun episode,...

Some queens on RuPaul's Drag Race fail to display the charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent required for success on the show. Certain contestants, like Roxxxy Andrews and Valentina, allowed their personal issues and lack of preparedness to hinder their competition performance. The show has seen its fair share of memorable losers, including Rebecca Glasscock and Serena Cha Cha, who failed to meet the standards set by their competitors.

RuPaul's Drag Race has a long legacy of legendary contestants, but some lost big. From campy comedy queens to glamorous pageant queens, both ends of the drag spectrum (and everything between) have produced iconic performances. However, not every queen makes a splash on the show. Sometimes, a talented queen makes a mistake that sends them home too soon. In other cases, a mediocre queen overstays their welcome, and their elimination can't come quickly enough.

Whatever the reason, some queens notably failed to display the charisma,...

After 15 seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race, over a dozen queens have unfortunately become the first contestants to sashay away. Given how much time and investment all the queens put into their Drag Race journeys, it's always heartbreaking to watch someone leave first. Thankfully, show creator RuPaul Charles and the cast of queer artists featured on the show have started celebrating the queens who were eliminated first on Drag Race over the years.

Despite the celebration, there will always be a contestant who will happen to go home first in a reality competition. After all, as long as eliminations are involved, someone has to leave the series before everyone else. At least RuPaul's Drag Race is known for finding different ways to constantly refer to these queens and celebrate their work in the show, no matter their placement. Now that both RuPaul's Drag Race season 15 has aired, it's time to look...

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 15 continued on February 24 with the next step in the competition toward discovering “America’s next drag superstar.” Last week, the queens were thrilled to RuPaul Charles what they can do in the “LipSync Lalaparuza Smackdown.” In the final round of the tournament, Anetra defeated Jax, sending the queen of acrobatics home after five total lip syncs. This week, the 9 remaining girls celebrate the show’s 15th anniversary and 200th episode with “The Crystal Ball.”

Seated at the judges’ dais for episode 9 was Emmy winning host RuPaul, longtime bestie Michelle Visage and recurring judge Carson Kressley. Joining them this week as special guest was actor Julia Garner.

The 10 queens still in the competition are: Anetra, Loosey Laduca, Luxx Noir London, Malaysia Babydoll Foxx, Marcia Marcia Marcia, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, Salina EsTitties, Sasha Colby, and Spice.

In the sneak peak we see the mini challenge play out in full. Each queen gets into quick “attention grabbing” drag and then “photo bombs” an iconic moment from Drag Race herstory. Salina EsTitties bombs Laganja Estranja‘s season 6 entrance, Anetra bombs Willow Pill‘s talent performance, Malaysia Babydoll Foxx bombs Vanessa Vanjie Mateo‘s iconic elimination exit, Spice bombs Lady Gaga, Luxx Noir London bombs Vivacious in her photo challenge, Mistress Isabelle Brooks bombs Morgan McMichaels and Ru together, Marcia Marcia Marcia bombs the crowning of Jinkx Monsoon,...

(Warning: This post contains spoilers for the Season 6 finale of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars.”)

“RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars” has crowned it’s winner.

Eureka, Kylie Sonique Love, Ginger Minj and Ra’Jah O’Hara came into Wednesday’s finale as the top four queens of the season, tasked with writing, recording and performing verses to RuPaul’s new song, “This Is Our Country,” featuring country music legend Tanya Tucker.

Ginger and Ra’Jah seemed like the frontrunners given their track record of challenge wins, though Kylie was a fan-favorite throughout the season and Eureka won the season’s hotly anticipated “game within a game” twist that allowed one eliminated queen to earn a spot in the final five by competing in a series of lip sync battles. Silky Nutmeg Ganache had seemed like the favorite to return, winning a stunning series of lip syncs back-to-back-to-back, but Eureka triumphed...

“RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” Season 6 took a break from the competition this week in order to finally explain the “game within a game” twist that RuPaul Charles has been teasing all summer long. In short, every eliminated queen was given the chance to compete in a “Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown,” with the winner of each pairing advancing to the following week. Defying the odds, Silky Nutmeg Ganache was able to win six lip syncs, bringing her to the final challenge against recent eliminee Eureka. In true “Drag Race” fashion, viewers didn’t get to see who won that final lip sync and returned to the competition. Which queen do You think it was?

No, really, we’re asking: Which queen is returning to RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 6? Even after this week’s episode, we still don’t know.

The long-awaited “game within a game” finally arrived in Episode 10, and it turned out to be pretty much exactly what fans expected: an all-out lip sync smackdown — in fact, it was literally called RuPaul’s Secret Rudemption Lip Sync Smackdown — that would end with one of the eliminated queens returning to the competition. It was a real treat for those viewers who love watching queens they’ve already forgotten about competing for a...

The time has come! It's been 84 years, but the game-within-a-game was revealed to the remaining queens on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 6 Episode 10.

After weeks of speculation, the lip-sync smackdown confirmed the theories burning through the internet. Of course, the queens would need to lip-sync to come back to the competition. Lip-syncing is the essence of Drag Race.

Nine queens entered, but only one would return. This is a Lip Sync For Your Life bloodbath!

The rudemption lip-sync smackdown had a great format to it.

Doing a sudden-death elimination order based on the most recent eliminated queen provided a fair and even set-up. Each queen had to work their way up and put in the effort to make it past the next round.

This tower model is better for this rudemption than the bracket-style in the Lip-Sync For The Crown. It wouldn't be fair to a queen like Pandora Boxx or Eureka!

This week on the 6th season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” the 9 eliminated queens returned to the stage for the long-promised “game within a game” of the season. The concept was a secret lip-sync smackdown for redemption week by week as each queen was eliminated, with the last remaining queen positioned to re-enter the competition in a new final five. All was revealed to Rajah O’Hara, Ginger Minj, Trinity K. Bonet and Kylie Sonique Love back stage as they watched it play out like binge watching a wrestling tournament, dreading the fact that they are no longer the official top four.

Below, check out our minute-by-minute recap of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” season 6 episode 10 to find out who fought their way back into the competition in “Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown.” All Stars 6 is airing this summer on Paramount+ with new episodes added to the streaming service every Thursday at 3 am Et.

Of the nine queens who’ve been told to “sashay away” during this sixth cycle of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” fans have their fingers crossed that Scarlet Envy will be the one to return. Remember, there’s been a “game within a game” twist all season long, with host RuPaul Charles telling each eliminated contestant to stop packing their bags because it’s “not over yet.” In our recent poll, a leading 27% of viewers voted that they’re hoping for a second dose of Scarlet. There was a tie for second place as Jan and Eureka both earned 16% of the vote. See the complete poll results:

27% — Scarlet Envy

All season long, fans of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” have been warned there’s a “game within a game” twist on the horizon for the eliminated queens. Well, it looks like it’s finally here. After sashaying away in the ninth episode of the Paramount+ reality TV show, Eureka was given more information by host RuPaul Charles than anyone else before her. “Don’t leave, it’s not over … yet,” Mama Ru explained while Eureka ran around the werk room looking for a wig to wear to appear presentable. “Prepare for the lip sync of your life and report to the main stage. I’m waiting.”

After four episodes of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars‘” sixth season, viewers still have no idea what the “game within a game” twist actually means. All we know is that host RuPaul Charles has told each of the eliminated queens — Silky Nutmeg Ganache, Jiggly Caliente, Serena ChaCha and Yara Sofia — to stop packing their bags, suggesting they may be returning to the competition. In our recent poll, we asked fans to tell us which fallen queen they most want to see come back to the werk room, and Jiggly is the favorite with 44% support.

This week on the 6th season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” we’re back to the normal one-episode-a-week schedule after the two-part premiere installments on June 24. After the eliminations of Serena ChaCha and Jiggly Caliente in those first episodes, host RuPaul Charles warned them that there would be a “game with a game,” suggesting that they weren’t fully eliminated yet. We also learned in the premiere that once again the queens would lip sync against assassins and cast votes against each other for elimination. In July 1’s third episode the queens were grouped together to film adverts for their “Side Hustles,” a challenge designed to test their acting, line-reading skills and overall comedic talent on screen.

RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars made its Paramount+ debut this week, dropping a series of bombs in the process — and I’m not just talking about Trinity K. Bonet’s stand-up comedy. (Yikes!)

For starters, Mama Ru announced that this season is actually “a game within a game,” though we still don’t know what that means. In fact, all we really know about this “masterclass in survival” is that both of the queens eliminated in these first two episodes were stopped on their way out of the workroom and invited to play along. (Any theories? Feel free to share in a comment below.

From pairing the queens up in teams to making them lip-sync for their legacy, you never know what tricks host RuPaul has up his finely tailored Klein Epstein & Parker suit sleeve. Luckily, season six of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars is still a "rumocracy," so we won't likely be seeing a repeat of season three's Shangela debacle - fans are still debating whether or not she was robbed. Ahead of the June 24 premiere on Paramount+, Popsugar chatted with A'keria C.

Season 6 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” will premiere on Paramount Plus on June 24, the streamer announced on Wednesday, along with the official announcement of the season’s cast of competing queens.

Last year, ViacomCBS initially announced that Season 5 of “All Stars” would premiere on the company’s subscriber-based pay cable network Showtime, but then reversed its decision three months later, putting the season back on VH1 in the wake of the pandemic — and a wave of criticism by fans frustrated at having to pay for Showtime to see the series. This year, however, ViacomCBS didn’t flinch; the company is sticking to its previously announced plans to premiere “All Stars” on the subscriber-based Paramount Plus, part of a larger strategy to double down on reality offerings on the streamer.

In that vein, Paramount Plus also announced that “Queen of the Universe,” the singing competition...

The second episode of RuPaul's Drag Race's fifth season delighted us with a quirky, unexpected challenge: The 13 remaining queens were tasked with reenacting classic moments from the past four seasons of Drag Race. The challenge called for precise lip-sync skills and dramatic acting chops from everyone, and it's clear whose pantomime was worthier of kudos from guest judges Kristen Johnston and Juliette Lewis: Lineysha Sparx walked off with the title for her dead-on, hilarious impersonation of Tyra Sanchez (though it helped that the resemblance was uncanny), and beleaguered Panamanian queen Serena ChaCha, a.k.a. Myron Morgan, ended up in the bottom two thanks to her uninspired take on Raja. After surviving last week's survival lip-sync, Serena lost to Monica Beverly Hillz in a final performance of Rihanna's "Only Girl (in the World)."
