RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 10 premiered on May 9, 2025, with 18 returning queens, each determined to make their way into the Drag Race Hall of Fame and win the $200,000 cash prize. Episode 1, titled Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner, featured Irene the Alien and Aja clashing as they judged each other's looks and performances from their last appearance.
Irene the Alien called out Aja (season 9 and All Stars 3) for trying to stir things up. Aja countered, reminding Irene the Alien that she did not need advice from someone who could not last the first episode of season 15. One thing led to another, and both started finding flaws in one another's makeup looks.
Irene the Alien accused Aja of photoshopping her images, but the latter said she looked the same as her photos. Bosco, in the confessionals, expressed that an early rivalry would not benefit either of them, as they needed to have cordial relationships with their co-stars to avoid jeopardizing their positions in the competition.

"Not the time to ruffle too many feathers" — RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars alum Bosco comments on Aja and Irene the Alien's argument
The segment showcased Aja walking about in the 'werk room,' warning her co-stars not to talk "s**t" in the confessionals. Hearing that, Irene said:
"Aja, now is not the right time to make a moment, baby. Your paint looks crazy."
The RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars queen continued, saying Aja looked like she had a "loading symbol" above her head, contemplating her next "comeback." However, Aja responded that she did not need to think of a comeback, and reminded Irene the Alien how she went home in the first episode of her season.
In the meantime, Bosco took to a confessional to point out that Irene the Alien had the "wonderful ability to put her foot so far into her mouth." Bosco believed it could backfire and put Irene in a predicament.
Irene the Alien then criticized Aja's appearance by pointing out that she had eyeliner on only one eye. Aja replied that she was taking her time. She then recalled that in season 9 of RuPaul's Drag Race, she was praised for looking "good." Irene, however, interjected that she had watched season 9 and remembered the judges calling Aja "crazy."
Bosco, watching from the sidelines, said:
"Now is not the time to ruffle too many feathers, 'cause historically, success in All Stars is not just up to your performance, it's also about how the girls feel about you."
Irene the Alien, on the other hand, accused Aja of photoshopping and facetuning her photos. The RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars alum added that she would include Aja's name to the "list" of people who had it out for her.
Later in the episode, Aja and Irene the Alien secured the top two spots in the heavy metal challenge. Consequently, they lip-synced to Think U the S**t (Fart) by Ice Spice for a point and $10,000 cash tip, and Aja emerged victorious.
RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars is available to stream on Paramount+.
