BRING BACK MY GIRLS! RPDR or RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 5 is sashaying back this June. Bow down to sickening queens who are trying their luck again to win $100,000 and the right to wear the crown in the hall of fame with past All Stars winners, Chad Michaels, Alaska, Trixie Mattel, and Trinity The Tuck / Monét X Change.
RPDR All Stars Season 5 will premiere on June 5 at 8pm ET/PT on VH1 (and hopefully Netflix Philippines) while we await for the culmination of the currently airing RPDR Season 12 and the Secret Celebrity Drag Race.
According to a Vulture report by Rebecca Alter, the traditional promo shoot did not happen for this season due to coronavirus precautions. Instead, we have been blessed with a clip of the werk room entrances of the RPDR All Stars 5 queens. OK, enough with the prelude, below are the fierce racers who will fight their way to the top with descriptions courtesy of VH1.
Alexis Mateo (Season 3, All Stars 1)

BAM! Alexis Mateo came to season three and made it to the top three before being eliminated. She got her second chance competing in a team on All Stars 1, but again fell short of the crown. Now the jig is up! Alexis is back for All Stars 5 to secure her spot in the “Drag Race Hall of Fame!” Sickening, no?
Blair St. Clair (Season 10)

She do declare! It’s Blair St. Clair! Since season ten, this young queen has really grown and “glown-up,” and now she’s ready to be your star! Will she shine bright enough to take the All Stars crown?
Derrick Barry (Season 8)

It’s Derrick, bitch! On season eight, Derrick Barry struggled to show she’s more than just a Britney Spears impersonator. Derrick is back on All Stars 5 to prove she is stronger than yesterday! She is ready to display the full spectrum of her drag and snatch her spot in the “Drag Race Hall of Fame.”
India Ferrah (Season 3)

India came into season three with over-the-top glam looks, but was critiqued for having an under-the-radar personality. She’s gone down in herstory for being picked up by another queen during a lip sync for her life. On All Stars 5, this high-kicking queen is ready to pick up where she left off and remind everyone that Drag is not a contact sport!
Jujubee (Season 2, All Stars 1)
Twitter: @Jujuboston, Instagram: @Jujubeeonline
Jujubee first dazzled the world with her humor, heart, and beauty on season two and then again on All Stars 1. But despite her efforts, Jujubee has never made it to the top. What about her?! What about Jujubee?! Is All Stars 5 her chance to prove the third time really is the charm?
Mariah Paris Balenciaga (Season 3)
Twitter: @MUG4DAYZ, Instagram: @MUG4DAYZ
On season three, Mariah — a.k.a. Mariah Paris Balenciaga, a.k.a. Mariah Successful — was known for her beauty, grace, and mug 4 dayz! She was eliminated after underperforming in Snatch Game, but now Mariah is back on All Stars 5 to show the world that this versatile ball queen is ready to take the grand prize!
Mayhem Miller (Season 10)
Twitter: @TheOnlyMayhem, Instagram: @TheOnlyMayhem
The drama is here! Mayhem Miller crashed the Drag Race party on season ten! She started strong, winning the very first challenge, but a peck of pickle problem put her in the bottom, and she sashayed away too soon. Now this L.A. favorite is back to stake her claim on the Hall of Fame. Is it finally Miller time?
Miz Cracker (Season 10)
Twitter: @Miz_Cracker, Instagram: @Miz_Cracker
“Okay, it’s time for Cracker!” Season ten’s self-described Jewish Barbie brought smarts and sass to the game — even as she struggled to get out of her head. Now this blonde, beloved New Yorker is back to take a crack at the All Stars crown!
Ongina (Season 1)
Twitter: @Ongina, Instagram: @Ongina
On season one, Ongina captured the hearts of millions with her charisma, uniqueness, nerve, talent, and beautiful bald head! Now this high-energy queen is back for All Stars 5! Will she make up for lost time and take her spot in the “Drag Race Hall of Fame?”
Shea Couleé (Season 9)
Twitter: @SheaCoulee, Instagram: @SheaCoulee
Chicago in the house! Shea Couleé came to season nine to SLAY not PLAY! And “slay” she did, snatching four wins on her way to the Grand Finale, before a shocking shower of rose petals sent her packin’. Equal parts bougie and banjee, this polished powerhouse now has her eyes on the All Stars prize!
