The expectations are always high when some of our fan-favorite queens come back to compete on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. However, time has proven that a queen’s track record in her original season doesn’t always have any impact on All Stars.
Eight seasons later, All Stars is considered a completely different beast than the flagship Drag Race seasons, and the contestants are fully aware of that. By giving the queens the power to decide who stays, who goes home, or who gets blocked from earning a star, All Stars is much more of a Survivor-like game than the pageant energy of a regular Drag Race season.
After fighting so fiercely all season long, only a select group of queens have managed to get to the very top of an All Stars season and got the chance to enter the coveted Drag Race Hall of Fame.
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 8 airs Fridays on Paramount+.

In 2012, Chad Michaels became the first-ever winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars.

Overall, she won three maxi challenges and placed in the bottom twice.

Raven didn’t win any maxi challenges on All Stars 1 and placed in the bottom three times. Alas, she still got to lip sync for the crown against Chad Michaels, thus being considered the first official runner-up of All Stars.

Jujubee competed on All Stars 1 along with Raven as Team Rujubee, so she also didn’t win any challenges and placed in the bottom three times. Unlike Raven, though, Jujubee did not get to lip sync for the crown.
