Sneak Peek - "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars"
"All
Stars” rules are in effect this season as each week the top
two queens will “lip-sync for their legacy” for the power to
send one of their peers home. Competition will be fierce as
the queens shift their strategies and work extra hard to not
only impress RuPaul and the judges, but to also impress each
other.
Logo will kick off the new season with a five-day, non-stop
marathon of fan-favorite seasons of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and
“All Stars” season 2, beginning Saturday, January 20 at 8:00
PM ET/PT. The marathon will feature “Meet the Queens” interstitials
to get fans reacquainted with their favorite competitors and
see what these queens were made of before they became “All Stars.”
