Hold onto your wigs, because the fiercest battle in Drag Race herstory is about to begin! RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars is back for its tenth season—and this time, it’s bigger, bolder, and bracketed. Premiering Friday, May 9, with a two-episode drop on Paramount+, All Stars 10 is serving us not just iconic returning queens, but also a brand-new twist: the Tournament of All Stars.
Eighteen queens are sashaying back into the workroom, and they’ve been split into three fierce groups—Group Orange, Group Pink, and Group Purple—each with six queens ready to compete for $200,000 and a coveted spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame. Group Orange includes Phoenix, Aja, Olivia Lux, DeJa Skye, Bosco, and Irene The Alien. Group Pink brings the fire with Nicole Paige Brooks, Tina Burner, Kerri Colby, Jorgeous, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, and Lydia B Kollins.
And in Group Purple, we’ve got Ginger Minj, Cynthia Lee Fontaine, Acid Betty, Denali, Alyssa Hunter, and Daya Betty. Each group will compete in a three-episode mini-tournament of their own. Then, the top three queens from each group—nine in total—will advance to the Semifinals, in a format that’s giving Survivor-style “merge” energy. It all builds up to the Lip Sync Smackdown for the Crown—where the last queens standing will battle it out in a grand finale unlike any other. So, lace up those heels and get ready for the most dazzling tournament of the summer. May the best All Star… win!
