RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 10 has crowned a winner after the first ever Tournament of All Stars, a wildcard queen, the return of Rate-A-Queen and a juicy lipsync smackdown.

Warning: Sickening spoilers ahead.

After three brackets, eighteen queens, some MVQ points and a reign of psychological terror from the recently-eliminated Mistress Isabelle Brooks, the All Stars 10 winner, and the eleventh All Stars queen to enter the Drag Race Hall of Fame has been ru-vealed.

Last week‘s episode saw season 15’s Mistress Isabelle Brooks lose her first lipsync on Drag Race after landing in the bottom two with new drag daughter Lydia B. Kollins, after the pair failed to impress the judges with their talent show performances.

For the remaining queens – Aja, Bosco, Daya Betty, Ginger Minj, Irene the Alien, Jorgeous and Lydia B. Kollins – the first twist of the episode came in the form of the reintroduction of a wildcard queen.

After she was entered twice at the end of episode 11’s draw, season 14 and Pink Bracket star Kerri Colby rejoined the competition.

Then, it was time for twist two – the return of Rate-A-Queen.

RuPaul announced that each contestant would have to rate their competitors based on who they think is their biggest lip-sync competition. The final rankings determined who each queen faced off in the lip-sync smackdown.

After that, it was time for the lip-sync smackdown to commence.

Who won All Stars 10?

The All Stars 10 finale then saw the eight finalists take part in one last lipsync smackdown for the crown.

Round one saw Ginger Minj triumph over the newly-returned Kerri Colby to Lady Gaga’s “Disease”, meaning two things: A) Ginger advanced to the second round and B) The Wildcard twist was completely inconsequential.

Lydia B. Kollins and Irene the Alien then lipsynced to “Joyride” by Kesha, with Lydia winning.

After that, possibly the most gagworthy lipsync duo of the season saw titans Jorgeous and Aja go head-to-head against each other to “Party Lights” by Natalie Cole.

The final showdown of round one was besties and season 14 sisters Bosco and Daya Betty to “Show Me How You Burlesque” by Christina Aguilera – with Bosco absolutely smashing it out of the park, thanks to her feather headdress reveal.

Round Two saw Ginger win against Bosco to “Raise Your Glass” by P!nk, and Jorgeous beat Lydia B. Kollins to “Wherever Whenever” by Shakira.

And it then all came down to one last lipsync between Ginger Minj and Jorgeous; the top two performed to “It’s Raining Men” by The Weather Girls – and the winner of All Stars 10 was announced as, on her fourth attempt, Ginger Minj.

Give it up for the glamour toad! Ginger Minj is the winner of All Stars 10. (World of Wonder)
