Top 10 Moments From RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars 2
All Stars 2 is said to be the best season of RuPaul's Drag Race herstory, and we have to agree. In this countdown we take a look at the Top 10 Moments from RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 2! We've included Drag Queens of Comedy, Alaska's speech, Drag shequals, Read You Wrote you and drag fish tank.
#10: Drag Queens of Comedy
Top 10 RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars 7 Moments
All Stars 2 had some of the series’ funniest queens, but the comedy queens weren’t the only ones who were able to shine in this challenge. Competitors were paired with previously eliminated queens who were attempting to get back into the competition. Alyssa and Alaska were predictably sublime, garnering laughs with a single word at a time. Tatianna and Detox proved their comic chops with a lively back and forth. It’s a testament to the talent present this season that even the less impressive acts still managed to entertain.
#9: Alaska’s Speech
Top 10 Alaska Moments on RuPaul’s Drag Race
When it came down to the season’s final four competitors, each one had to explain why they deserved to win. Adorned in one of her best runway looks, Alaska gave an impassioned, well-received speech, poking fun at herself while presenting a love letter to her favorite show, which had taken her so many auditions to qualify for. Moments later, Alaska would finally receive her well-deserved crown, as a reward for what may be the best run in “Drag Race” herstory. All hail the Queen!
#8: Drag Shequels
Top 10 RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 6 Moments
For this acting challenge, the queens were tasked with embodying characters from “Showgirls,” “Thelma and Louise,” and “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” in theoretical sequels. Alaska excels as Bette Davis’ Baby Jane, and it’s a surprising high point for Phi Phi as Elizabeth Berkley’s Nomi. We would be remiss if we didn’t mention the ridiculous merriment of Katya and Detox’s zombie versions of Thelma and Louise. Eagle-eyed fans will also notice that Roxxxy throws a modified version of Sharon Needles’ classic “tired-ass showgirl” insult in their shequel.
#7: Drag Fish Tank
Top 10 Memorable RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars 4 Moments
The all stars had to bring out their inner entrepreneur for this challenge, creating ads for products that match their brand. Roxxy, known for her wigs, created wig glue. Katya used humor to confront her insecurities by creating an anti-anxiety spray. Alyssa created a go-go juice that would give the consumer energy like hers. Detox, the trash-talker, created a trash can that spouts some of Detox’s most famous lines. Alaska made an appropriately bizarre fashion tape, which ultimately won the challenge. And finally, Tatianna created a tea set for the purpose of spilling tea. It’s hard to find a weak spot in the group, and this challenge proves how funny and creative this set of queens is.
#6: The Eliminated Queens Return
Top 10 RuPaul's Drag Race Franchise Moments of 2021
This season saw the series’ biggest cliffhanger ending ever, as the four eliminated queens popped up in the workroom mirror at the close of an episode. To make matters even juicier, it happened just as Phi Phi was trash-talking Alyssa. Each queen entered with fantastic two-in-one looks, followed by a healthy serving of drama as Alyssa confronts Phi Phi and Ginger confronts Alyssa. It was truly a hot mess that set up the episode’s exciting conflict that would result in an epic climax (more on that later). And it all went down before the opening sequence even played!
#5: All Stars Snatch Game
Drag Race Recap: Snatch Game of Love | MsMojo's Drag Race RuCap
Snatch Game is always a memorable challenge no matter what season it’s from. This time, however, each queen had already participated in a Snatch Game, to varying degrees of success. Thankfully, Phi Phi and Alyssa were able to redeem themselves with their portrayals of Theresa Caputo and Joan Crawford, respectively. At the top of the heap, though, are Katya as Björk and Alaska as Mae West. Both won the challenge for their quick-witted responses and phenomenal characterizations. Rounding out the performers are Ginger as Tammy Faye Messner and Detox as Nancy Grace, but let’s just not talk about Roxxxy’s Alaska or Tatianna’s Ariana Grande.
#4: All Stars Talent Show
Top 10 Shocking Drag Race Talent Show Moments
A talent show was a perfect way to open the season, allowing each queen to perform whatever she wants. From some beautiful singing from Ginger, to impressive gymnastics from Katya, there was no shortage of extraordinary talent. The high point, though, was Tatianna’s bold and unique spoken word performance. What makes the successful performance even more rewarding is that the other queens had been underestimating Tati for appearing in an earlier season, and here she proves that she’s more than just a pretty face. The piece had a special effect on Katya, as she would continue to quote it at every opportunity.
#3: Tatianna vs. Alyssa
The whole first half of the season teased that an eliminated queen would be returning, and when Alyssa and Tatianna won the comedy challenge, they were pitted against one another. As they lip-synced to Rihanna’s “Shut Up and Drive,” there’s not a wasted move as each queen serves up fierce dance moves with pitch perfect lip movements. It’s an epic moment that will likely go down as one of the series’ best lip-syncs. Tatianna’s face says it all when, in a final twist, both fan favourite queens were brought back to the game. Phi Phi’s drama wasn’t over, though, as both queens decided to send her home.
#2: HERstory of the World
This lip sync challenge ranks among some of the series’ best. The contestants had to perform a lip sync as a “bad girl” from history, from the biblical Eve to Princess Diana. Michelle Visage’s cameo as God is the cherry on top of the whole conceit. The queens clearly have a great time with the choreography and music, each one crackling with energy even when just in the background. Alyssa’s Annie Oakley and Detox’s Marie Antoinette steal the show and walk away with the wins. Who says you can’t learn a thing or two from watching “Drag Race”?

#1: Read U Wrote U
Top 10 Who The F*ck Read My Diary TV Scenes
Instead of a final music video challenge, this season switched it up by having the top four queens write and perform a rap verse for RuPaul’s new song “Read U Wrote U.” Despite some queens struggling during rehearsals, this challenge proved why these queens are the best of the best. Katya and Alaska in particular served up their performances with hilarity and badasserie. It was a perfect finale to a superbly entertaining season, and we can all agree with Ru’s amazed reaction. Not to mention, it helped us finally remember Katya’s full name.
