'Drag Race All Stars 10' Snatch Game: Questions, reactions, & results
- YouTube
Editor's note: This article contains spoilers for episode 10, titled "Tournament of All Stars Snatch Game," of .
Nine queens from three brackets compete in one Snatch Game, and the result is a whirlwind episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 where strategies, fandoms, and storylines collide.
Inspired by Survivor, fans have been referring to episode 10, titled "Tournament of All Stars Snatch Game," as a "merge" for All Stars 10: The coming together of queens who initially competed within separate groups. That element is alive, indeed, as we watch dizzying day-one dynamics playing out in week 10. Except that this is an All Stars season, so an otherwise pleasant meet-cute is also packed with callbacks and biases.
There is also a sobering reminder from the queens' heightened emotions around the Snatch Game that, unlike a Survivor merge, this is not the halfway point of the season. This is not an opportunity to reset, make new alliances, and re-calculate one's position on the chess board. This merge is on the verge of the grand finale, which makes it a disruptive and nerve-racking new format to the overall RuPaul's Drag Race franchise.

Tournament of All Stars sign on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 10 episode 10.
The nine semi-finalists literally walk back into this Tournament of All Stars. It's a cute choice to have them re-enter the main stage, like the nations that introduce themselves during an Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games, or teams that walk through the field to warm up before an actual game.
Aja, Bosco, Cynthia Lee Fontaine, Daya Betty, Ginger Minj, Irene The Alien, Jorgeous, Lydia B Kollins, and Mistress Isabelle Brooks enter this drag-o-dome with the points system that qualified them to the semi-finals. However, in typical Drag Race twist fashion, the rug is immediately pulled right under them.
"Starting today, and for the next two weeks, semi-final rules are in full effect," a mustachioed RuPaul announces. "To start, we are wiping the points you've earned in the preliminary round, so everyone starts the semi-finals on a level playing field."
RuPaul explains, "Moving forward, I will name one top All Star of the week who will receive a cash tip of $10,000. And the two bottom queens will lip sync for their lives."

Bosco; Ginger Minj; Daya Betty on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 10 episode 10.
Well, yes! The All Stars 10 semi-finals have queens shaking in their boots when Ru announces that the bottom 2 queens of each week will be lip syncing for their lives, just like they would in a regular flagship season of Drag Race.
In other words, these semi-finalists in the Tournament of All Stars will not lip sync for their lives (as paired-up competitors on All Stars 1), or for your legacy (as introduced on All Stars 2), or for a Ru-demption (as utilized over the years). Their fates will not be decided by a teammate, by other queens voting in a Ru-mocracy system, nor by the top 2 queens of the week.
For context, the official "lip sync for your life" term was only used once on All Stars 2 for the "Shut Up and Drive" lip sync between Alyssa Edwards and Tatianna. It made sense, as those queens had been eliminated from the season and were lip syncing for a chance to return to the competition. That term was then used similarly in the "LaLaPaRuZa" episode of All Stars 4, which was also about the potential return of eliminated queens. As eliminated queens were paired up with current competitors, RuPaul declared that they had to "lip sync for your life" to keep that spot in the game.
There really aren't any other instances of that term being used on All Stars. Even the iconic lip sync smackdown that nearly brought back Silky Nutmeg Ganache onto All Stars 6 was worded as a "lip sync for your Ru-demption." Nonetheless, that is the rule moving forward in the All Stars 10 semi-finals — a refreshing twist that raises the stakes of this season yet again.

No, this wasn't the worst Snatch Game of all time. We've seen worse, several times. Unless it's for recency bias, this Snatch Game probably doesn't enter a rock-bottom list. But this intense reaction comes from a fandom that is — for once — openly loving this season. It's also wild to consider that literally all nine of these queens have made us laugh many times over the years… And then there's this.
The Tournament of All Stars Snatch Game included the following impersonations: Aja as Samantha "Cookie Tookie" James, Bosco as Kenny Kerr, Cynthia Lee Fontaine as Dracula, Daya Betty as Jane Lynch, Ginger Minj as Reba McEntire, Irene The Alien as Zsa Zsa Gabor, Jorgeous as Pitbull, Lydia B Kollins as Pete Burns, and Mistress Isabelle Brooks as Natalie Nunn.

Raven wears a crown during the Snatch Game of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 10 episode 10.
In case you haven't paid attention, RuPaul ends every Snatch Game with an unserious announcement about the "winner" of the challenge. These unserious "winners" have been "the Amish, because they don't have televisions," Victoria Porkchop Parker, "Who cares?!", Charo, and "All of the celebrities who weren't impersonated tonight."
But it seems like thousands of likes, comments, and re-posts are taking this unserious winner a little more seriously.
"Now, the moment you've all been waiting for. Today's winner is…" RuPaul says at the end of this Snatch Game. "Raven!"
The camera cuts to Raven's face. "You're a winner, baby. Condragulations, Raven. Finally!" RuPaul teases. "Is there anything you'd like to say?"
Raven, with a literal crown on her head, responds: "With a tanning booth and a dream, anything is possible."

Ginger Minj wins the Snatch Game as Adele on RuPaul's Drag Race season 7; as Phyllis Diller on All Stars 6; as Reba McEntire on All Stars 10.
All jokes aside, actual Drag Race herstory is made during this episode.
Ginger Minj (as Reba McEntire) wins the Tournament of All Stars Snatch Game and becomes the first queen of all time to win the Snatch Game three times.
Ginger (as Adele) first won the Snatch Game on Drag Race season 7 in a tie with Kennedy Davenport (as Little Richard). The second time came with Ginger (as Phyllis Diller) also winning this challenge on All Stars 6.

Cynthia Lee Fontaine is eliminated after a Snatch Game impersonation as Sofía Vergara on RuPaul's Drag Race season 9; as Dracula on All Stars 10.
Gia Gunn was the first queen — and, until this episode, the only queen — to be eliminated twice as a result of underperforming in the Snatch Game. The first time as Kim Kardashian on Drag Race season 6, then a second time as Jenny Bui on All Stars 4.
Cynthia Lee Fontaine's first Snatch Game, as Sofía Vergara, resulted in her elimination from Drag Race season 9. The Cucu queen unfortunately has the same outcome after impersonating Dracula in this All Stars 10 edition of the Snatch Game.

Mistress Isabelle Brooks lip syncs to 'Who's Zoomin' Who' by Aretha Franklin on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 10 episode 10.
Facts are facts, America! Mistress Isabelle Brooks delivers a truly legendary lip sync performance to the a cappella version of "Who's Zoomin' Who" by Aretha Franklin. And speaking of facts: Franklin's 30th album, Who's Zoomin' Who? (which has an actual question mark not included in the title track), is celebrating its 40th anniversary this Wednesday, July 9.
Beyond what anyone thinks about MIB's reality TV shenanigans and/or social media antics, the diva is entirely clocked-in for this lip sync and had old-school drag fans passionately snapping at their TVs for the entire duration of this number. Mistress had a powerful command of the stage while serving a wildly entertaining face journey and being in perfect synchrony with the rhythm of the lyrics… An absolute knockout of a performance that stands out for all the right reasons.
It was hard to believe that Drag Race, in 2025, took such a big swing with an a cappella lip sync for this Tournament of All Stars. But it did, and it was incredible. Thank gawd.

Do we love to hear that Cynthia Lee Fontaine is suddenly eligible to enter this lottery system being teased all season long? Yes!
Are we confused about how this lottery twist actually works and feel like it was heavily implied in the preliminary brackets that this was another chance for the queens who didn't qualify to the semi-finals to have a chance in the next round of the competition despite not making it there with enough points? Absolutely.
Multiple things can be true at once, and that's beautiful.

Parents of Identical Twins Reveal the Clever Way They Tell Their 2-Year-Olds Apart (Exclusive)
Madison Musick and Kelly Laine are parents to twin boys Telling them apart can get pretty difficult, especially when they are wearing similar clothing However, these parents found a quick trick to telling their children apartMadison Musick and Kelly Laine have been together for four years and recently got engaged, marking a new chapter in their life as partners and parents. The couple from Gonzales, Texas, is raising identical twin toddlers, which means double the joy, but also double the chaos. Like many twin parents, they sometimes struggle to tell their lookalike children apart, especially in the middle of busy, messy days. But Musick, 28, and Laine, 34, have come up with one surprisingly simple trick that never fails to help them figure out who's who — their ears. 'The transition to being twin parents was scary and rough at first, a lot of sleepless nights,' Musick tells PEOPLE exclusively. 'For me, as a first-time mom, I had no idea what I was doing, but the more I did it, the more I figured it out, and we kept on rolling.' Their sons, Liam and Kevin, were born in January 2023, and while it's Musick's first time being a parent, her fiancé also has a 5-year-old daughter, Najoni, from a previous relationship. Nevertheless, even this dad has moments where he can't tell his children apart. In a viral video, Laine is seen calling out for Kevin and then checking Liam's head to confirm if he was right. 'When people don't know who is who, they can just look at the twins' ears, which is what a lot of people asked in the video,' Musick explains. 'My son Liam has a little fold on his right ear, and Kevin doesn't have one, so that's how people will tell," she adds. As for Musick, she can instantly tell her twins apart by sound alone – whether they're chatting in another room or crying. 'I was so scared having twins that I wouldn't know, but I say it's like a mom sense because I definitely know,' she says. 'I only feel like the toughest part is having to do everything twice.' Finding balance as twin parents has been challenging for the couple, as both work full-time and Musick also picks up extra evening shifts at a local bar and grill. However, the mother-of-two says Laine is a huge supporter. 'I'd say my fiancé is a really big help with the kids, and he always has been,' she shares. 'He's a wonderful dad.' Although it can be exhausting at times, she and Laine push through. The most rewarding moments come when, despite the fatigue, the twins say or do something that reminds her she's doing a great job as a parent. 'I take the gentle parent approach, and when I hear my babies saying some of the sweet things I say to them, I know I'm doing right by them, because their little ears and eyes are always listening and watching,' Musick shares. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Her advice to fellow twin parents is to get out and experience things with their kids, even if it feels intimidating. 'Don't be afraid, let them be independent and be there for them when they need you.' Although it might be exhausting in the early years, it does get easier, and the rewards are more than worth it.
