Drag race all stars6/1/2023 ![]() The winner of this All Stars season was Alaska. The season featured 10 contestants competing for a coveted spot into the " Drag Race Hall of Fame", a one-year supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics, and a cash prize of $100,000. It premiered on the Logo network on August 25, 2016, at 8 pm. The queen who wins that lip-sync will receive the opportunity to eliminate a fellow queen. The official trailer announced a new twist to this season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars: the top two queens in each challenge will have to "lip-sync for their legacy". On June 17, 2016, the cast was announced. RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 2, also known as All Stars 2, is the second season of the All Star spin-off of RuPaul's Drag Race. She’ll need to pull out some major tricks to secure the crown she’s worked so hard to win.Todrick Hall Season Chronology ← Previous Against high-calibre performers like Jaida, Monét and even Viv, I could see it being a fight. Sure, Jinkx has technically won the most lip syncs, but none of her performances has been that memorable. But of course, I also didn’t know we’d be getting a Lip Sync for the Crown tournament at that hypothetical season’s end. The question now becomes: can she win the whole season? I’ve said it before, but Jinkx was my prediction to win an all-winners season long before one was even announced, so her performance this season hasn’t surprised me. She has the most stars, has won a record five maxi-challenges (only matched by BenDeLaCreme in All Stars 3 when it comes to American seasons) and has surprisingly won $30,000 in three lip sync victories. Jinkx has performed the best this season by literally every measurable metric. Not enough of one for me to give her the win, though. We’ve seen Trinity deliver a lot of the same silhouette this season, but this was a refreshing change of pace. I like when Trinity uses her pageant background to deliver very sculptural, high-impact looks that aren’t just gowns. Where I did really enjoy Trinity this week was on the runway-her All Glowed Up look was among my favourites. I appreciate Trinity’s growth in this challenge, but the idea that she was better than Viv or Monét is pretty silly. ![]() It took a dubious win on this roast to get her there, though. She hit her threshold later than I expected, but Trinity is officially in the three-star club. In the battle between her and Jinkx Monsoon, Jinkx has emerged as the clear victor in the judges’ eyes. But as others have risen, Viv has felt secondary to the storyline. It’s a shame: the middle of this season really did feel like it was shaping Viv into a contender. The fact that she aced the roast, delivered a phenomenal runway and was still left out of the top two in favour of Trinity indicates that the show just isn’t invested in her getting to the end. I think this was Viv’s last significant chance to make the finale, honestly. The “robbed Raja” edit hasn’t stuck around, so I’m not sure the heat is there to get her to the finale. But that was a while ago, and in the intervening weeks, she’s won two challenges and secured two stars. Yes, Raja was robbed of a few early wins, and even had a moment on the main stage where she questioned just being safe once again. And unlike with Monét and Yvie, where I feel the edit suggests one clear ending, I’m really split on how this will go for our Season 3 champion. She is entirely reliant on the talent show to get her to the end. Raja’s loss this week doesn’t matter much, since she was blocked from winning a Legendary Legend Star anyway. Could they both make the finale and battle in a lip sync? If so, my bet is fully with Monét: they may have both won a lip sync this season, but Monét is a Lip Sync Assassin for a reason. The idea that we’ll leave this season without some kind of face-off between Monét and Trinity is unfathomable to me. What I do wonder, however, is when we’re going to get the “tiebreak” moment for our twinners. Her edit has been the diametric opposite of Yvie’s: lots of main character focus even when her challenge performances did not merit that much storyline. I would place good money on Monét making it to the finale. If she does make it there, though, look out: despite her losing her one and only lip sync this season, I do think she’s the best lip sync performer when considering her overall body of work on Drag Race. More than anyone, Yvie has felt like a secondary character this season, and thus it would be strange to see her as part of the final four. So I could see her surprising and snagging her third Legendary Legend Star … but I’ll admit the edit is not pointing that way. A talent show is an interesting final challenge for Yvie-we’ve never seen her do one before, and she’s certainly someone who has a lot of tricks to show off.
