## Synopsis

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars (2012-present) is a United States reality competition spin-off created by RuPaul, Fenton Bailey, and Randy Barbato for Logo, VH1, and Paramount+. Hosted and judged by RuPaul alongside Michelle Visage and Carson Kressley, the series gathers the most celebrated queens from the parent Drag Race franchise to compete for a second chance at drag stardom. Ginger Minj and Roxxxy Andrews are among the returning contenders, with Roxxxy also serving as the lip sync assassin who shakes up eliminations. Each season is a run of weekly episodes built from runway looks, comedy challenges, and high-stakes lip sync showdowns where a contestant's place in drag history is on the line. The format is episodic with a season-long tournament structure, spanning eleven seasons so far. Its signature set piece is the All Stars Snatch Game, a celebrity impersonation challenge that tests wit and character work. Fans of Project Runway and Top Chef will recognize the host-driven judging and elimination drama, while the bold glamour, quick humor, and sincere affection for performance give it an upbeat, campy, celebratory tone. Production is by World of Wonder, and the show is rated TV-MA for its frank language and adult humor.
