Episode 1 recap: Aja Claims Victory in the premiere challenge in RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars
The first episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 10 introduced a new point-based tournament format. The six queens in Bracket 1—Aja, Bosco, Irene the Alien, DeJa Skye, Olivia Lux, and Phoenix—participated in a maxi challenge set around a music video titled “Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner.”
The theme required a heavy metal-inspired performance, followed by a runway with the category “Slits and T*ts.” Aja and Irene the Alien were named the top two queens of the week. They competed in a lip sync to Ice Spice’s “Think U the Sh–t (Fart).” Aja was declared the winner, earning 3 points—2 for placing in the top and 1 for the lip sync win. Irene received 2 points.
At the end of the episode, the remaining four queens—Bosco, Phoenix, DeJa, and Olivia—were each required to choose a “Most Valuable Queen” and assign them 1 point. These points were not revealed until the start of the next episode.
Aja said in a confessional, “Ayo, sis—Aja is in the building! Part Harajuku, part hood, all attitude.” RuPaul also described her look as “pure chaos with intention” during critiques.
Fans can watch the episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 10 is now streaming on Paramount+.
