RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars is a spinoff of RuPaul's Drag Race where host/judge RuPaul invites past contestants of RuPaul's Drag Race to compete for a spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame.

Premise[]

Mini Challenges[]

Each contestant is asked to perform a different task with varying requirements and time limitations. The winner of a mini challenge is sometimes rewarded with some kind of advantage in the main challenge.

Main Challenges[]

The requirement vary across each episode and can be individual or group challenges. The winner of the main challenge also receives a "special" prize for their win. In the past, challenge winners have been rewarded with prizes including custom designer clothes, vacations, cruises and quality cosmetic items.

The goal of each main challenge involves a new theme and outcome. Challenges focus on the returning contestants' ability to once again present themselves on camera, perform with music or perform humorously. Season 1 saw the focus on the groups ability to perform well together while Season 2 is based on more individual challenges where the returning contestant relied on themselves and performance solely. Along with the "special" prizes awarded by winning the main challenge, the top two queens must now lip-sync for the legacy, with the victor being awarded a cash prize of $10,000 and the choice of elimination out of the bottom three queens.

Prizes[]

Season 1[]

$100,000 cash prize
A coveted spot in the "Drag Race Hall of Fame"

A vacation trip courtesy of ALandCHUCK travel.

Seasons 2 & 3[]

$100,000 cash prize

ADDITIONAL NOTE: In each season, there are also smaller prizes awarded for challenges within the episodes, ranging from "cash trips" to vacations, gift cards, etc.

Untucked[]

Just like RuPaul's Drag Race, episodes of the first season of All Stars were followed by an Untucked episode each week, giving the viewers a glimpse into the backstage drama and discussions' between the returning contestants. For both the second and third seasons, the contestants deliberated themselves backstage on who they would choose to eliminate, serving as a mini-Untucked as there were no separately filmed Untucked companion show for that season.
