RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars (season 5)


The fifth season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars was announced by VH1 on August 19, 2019.
It was announced on February 20, 2020 on the show's official Twitter account that the season would premiere on June 5, 2020 on Showtime. Following the cast announcement on May 8, 2020, producers announced that the show would air on VH1 instead of Showtime due to the COVID-19 pandemic which caused "various scheduling and programming adjustments".
The official trailer announced a change in the elimination rules: Unlike seasons 2, 3 and 4 of All Stars, each week a single challenge winner is named. The winning queen will lip sync for her legacy against a guest Lip Sync Assassin from a previous season; if the challenge winner wins the lip sync, she will get the power to eliminate one of the queens in the bottom and win a $10,000 prize, and if the Assassin wins, the eliminated queen will be determined after a majority vote by the rest of the contestants, and the $10,000 prize will carry over to further episodes until a contestant wins the lip sync.
The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars receives a one year supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics and a cash prize of $100,000.
This season is the first All Stars season since All Stars 1 to have an aftershow.
The winner of the fifth season of All-Stars was Shea Couleé, with Jujubee and Miz Cracker as runners-up.
