Ricky Martin will be a guest judge on the Season 5 premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, which will feature returning favorites in “a reading mini-challenge” and who will “hit the runway for a Werq the World variety extravaganza!
Guest Judge Announcements!

The guests will join RuPaul and show regulars Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley and Ross Mathews.
Rules Change!
“This season, the traditional elimination rules for All Stars have been shaken up. At the end of each episode, RuPaul will name one top all star of the week. That queen will lip sync for her legacy against a mysterious lip sync assassin, chosen from the most iconic performers in Drag Race herstory. If the top all star of the week wins the lip sync, she wins a $10,000 tip and the power to eliminate the bottom queen of her choice. If the lip sync assassin wins, a bottom queen selected from a secret group vote gets the chop, and the $10,000 rolls over until a top all star wins.”
The 10 competing queens will give their all to impress the judges as they vie for a spot in the “Drag Race Hall of Fame” and a grand prize of $100,000.
Returning Queens!
“The previously announced queens include Alexis Mateo (Season 3, All Stars 1), Blair St. Clair (Season 10), Derrick Barry (Season 8), India Ferrah (Season 3), Jujubee (Season 2, All Stars 1), Mariah Paris Balenciaga (Season 3), Mayhem Miller (Season 10), Miz Cracker (Season 10), Ongina (Season 1) and Shea Couleé (Season 9).”
