!Mimi Imfurst [-(Team Mandora, 12th=)-]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mimiimfurst_4767.png]]

->'''Real Name''': Braden Chapman
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 3 (11th)

->"This time around, I will not pick nobody up, it is time for America to see who I really am."
----

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Possibly the worst offender, in addition to being picked last when paired up for teams, the other queens would outright tell Mimi to her face they did not consider her an All-Star, and that the only reason she was there was because "somebody has to go home first".
* BerserkButton: One surefire way to get a rise out of Mimi is to attack her fans.
* BeyondRedemption: The moment she picked up a fellow queen against their as well, as her behavior in season 3, made her this to the other queens.
* FormerlyFat: Lost quite a bit of weight since her season, but this actually worked against her, when she was called out on the fact she did not update her drag style to compliment her new, slimmer body.
* LesserOfTwoEvils: While the queens discuss several other previous contestants that would have been more appropriate to be an "All Star" than Mimi, they bring up Rebecca Glasscock ... [[TakeThat and quickly decide between the two, even Mimi was a better choice.]]
* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: Looked to be gearing up for a moment of awesomeness during her lip sync against season favorite, Chad Michaels, as she strips off her costume to dramatically reveal ... a boring party dress. The other queens even point out it was a rather lame attempt to excite the judges.
* NoFairCheating: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] when most of the queens find it suspicious that Mimi had the third highest rank to join All-Stars (right behind [[EnsembleDarkhorse Sharon Needles and Pandora Boxx]]). Although it's not at all uncommon, nor against the rules, for a queen to lobby for votes, they were convinced there was something unscrupulous going on with Mimi having obtained so many votes.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Didn't learn her lesson from Season 3, as she forces a kiss onto her partner, Pandora, during a photo shoot that the latter queen was ''not'' comfortable with.
** And once again, she gets all up in Chad’s personal space when they lip sync against each other, stepping in front of her and touching her.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Despite her efforts, the time she picked up India Ferrah has not been forgotten about and her entire run on Drag Race has been defined by that one moment.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After the other queens verbally attacked her in the Untucked Lounge, she grabbed her stuff and actually left the studio. If not for her partner going out there to bring her back, Mimi very well may have just quit the show right then.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Averted, although this trope was certainly in action on her partner's side, Mimi did pick Pandora to be her partner the second go-around.
* WhatTheHellHero: Called the other queens out in ConfessionCam that they should feel ashamed for bullying her the way they had, berating her talent and her fans.

!Pandora Boxx [-(Team Mandora, 12th=)-]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pandoraboxx_3120.png]]

->'''Real Name''': Michael Steck
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 2 (5th + Miss Congeniality)

->"Did somebody order a hooker?!"
----

* GaveUpTooSoon: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] by the other queens after her elimination. Although Pandora had given up after she was saddled with Mimi, the fact they were both hilarious camp queens could have made the pair a force to be reckoned with in the competition.
* HisOwnWorstEnemy: When she gets teamed with the All Stars unfavorite, Mimi Imfurst, it's obvious she mentally checks out of the competition, even saying afterwards that she considered their team-up unfair and doomed from the start. The other queens disagreed though when they say outright that Team Mandora could have been a fierce duo if Pandora had not just given up. [[note]]Pandora later explained in interviews that she was particularly under the weather while shooting her one episode, which is why Mimi had to do the lip sync.[[/note]]
* NeverMyFault: Was very quick to blame any of her team's shortcomings on her partner, and said outright when the two were in the bottom that it was Mimi who put them there.
* RousingSpeech: Gives one to her partner when Mimi [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere almost left the competition]], telling her to not care about the past or the drama, and to just get back in there and prove the judges why she's an All Star.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: She did ''not'' want to be partnered with Mimi Imfurst, and did little to hide her irritation at the outcome. It doesn't work though, and they are sent home in the first episode.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: As far as how she's changed and what she's been up to since her season. Although there was plenty of focus on her during the first episode, it was mostly of her pouting about being teamed up with Mimi Imfurst, after which she was unceremoniously eliminated.

!Tammie Brown [-(Team Brown Flowers, 10th=)-]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tammiebrown_2666.png]]

->'''Real Name''': Keith Glen Schubert
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 1 (8th)

->"Well come on, Teletubby! Teleport us to Mars!"
----

* BewareTheNiceOnes: She proved even sweet and kooky Tammie Brown was not to be trifled with when she said although she could make the classroom laugh, she could also make them cry if she wanted to.
* CantTakeCriticism: When Michelle Visage read her down for her poor Tammy Faye Messner, she lost her cool, accusing Michelle of trying to act like a Grand Madame and reading her back on the make-up line on Michelle's neck.
* CloudCuckoolander: If anything, Tammie is even more offbeat here than she was in season 1.
* CovertPervert: Tammie was certainly more dirty-minded than her upbeat and goofy demeanor would have you suspect, especially in one scene where she plays a game of grab-ass with Jujubee in the workroom.
* GracefulLoser: She never seemed to have any drive to win, she just enjoyed dancing around, making people laugh, and generally having a groovy time of things.
* PunnyName: Their team name, as the term "Brown Flower" can also very easily be interpreted as another word for anus.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: In the joke-writing CelebrityImpersonator challenge, Tammie wants to be funny without actually telling jokes ''or'' emulating the celebrity she dresses up as, Tammy Faye Messner. Although she does end up being hilarious, the judges say outright she was funny for all the wrong reasons, completely failing the challenge.
* VisualPun: During the trivia challenge she's asked what underwear her partner wears, and decides the best way to figure that out is to "smell the flowers" ... so she stops and [[OverlyLongGag spends a few minutes]] sniffing her teammate, Nina ''Flowers''.

!Nina Flowers [-(Team Brown Flowers, 10th=)-]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ninaflowers_3515.png]]

->'''Real Name''': Jorge Flores
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 1 (2nd + Miss Congeniality)

->"I didn't win season one because I needed to be here to win All-Stars."
----

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Besides Chad Michaels, Nina was one queen whom every other competitor expressed a deep love and respect for, calling her one of the legends.
* FantasticallyIndifferent: Towards her partner, [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Tammie Brown]]. Whereas everyone else would sometimes find Tammie weird and annoying, Nina was already used to Tammie from her own season, so it never bothered her.
* ItHasBeenAnHonor: Says this almost word-for-word in the Untucked lounge after facing the possibility of going home. The other queens, especially Chad and Raven, return in kind.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: As her partner was so kooky, the judges suspected that instead of trying to mesh their talents, Nina dimmed her own light and allowed Tammie to carry their team.
* PunnyName: Their team name, as the term "Brown Flower" can also very easily be interpreted as another word for anus.
* SmallReferencePools: Ru questioned her choice of La Lupe, a rather obscure Cuban celebrity, as her choice for the [[CelebrityImpersonator Gaff-In]].
* ThisIsACompetition: When Team Brown Flowers hits the bottom two she's upset since she "came to win", it was just a shame her partner seemed to be there [[GracefulLoser just for fun]].

!Latrice Royale [-(Team Latrila, 8th=)-]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/latriceroyale_8875.png]]

->'''Real Name''': Timothy Wilcots
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 4 (4th + Miss Congeniality)

->"The ultimate SHADE of it all!"
----

* FatAndSkinny: The fat to Manila's skinny, who was probably the most petite of the queens on All Stars.
* {{Homage}}: Her "Bad Girls" runway is a direct homage to one of the fiercest drag bitches in history, Divine.
* OddCouple: Their pairing was probably the most disjointed, since (as they point out) they barely know a thing about one another, while every other team were either from the same season, and/or were friends outside of the competition.
* NiceGuy: This is the reason Manila chose Latrice as her partner, as she put it there is not a single person who doesn't love Latrice Royale.
* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: When the queens have to go out in day drag and convince strangers to perform stunts, she comments that she has the hardest time with it since many people are intimidated by a 'large, seven-foot tall drag queen'.
* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: In reaction to Latrice's cry of ''"DEEP FRIED BUTTER!!"'' in regards to impersonating [[Series/TheOprahWinfreyShow Oprah Winfrey]], [=RuPaul=] thought she meant she would be impersonating [[Creator/FoodNetwork Paula Deen]].

!Manila Luzon [-(Team Latrila, 8th=)-]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/manilaluzon_6535.png]]

->'''Real Name''': Karl Westerberg
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 3 (2nd)

->"I am an All-Star 'cause I'm the fiercest drag queen 'round ... GAG!"
----

* DarkAndTroubledPast: She was forced out of the closet by her ex-girlfriend, ending up in a really dark place for awhile and nearly DrivenToSuicide, and that it was doing drag that actually saved her life.
* FatAndSkinny: The skinny to Latrice's fat, who is the biggest of the BigBeautifulWoman on All Stars.
* ItsAllAboutMe: The judges accused her of this when it became evident she wasn't sharing her style with Latrice, making their partnership appear disjointed.
* NiceHat: Manila tops herself from Season 3, strutting into the competition wearing a black, dainty hand holding a cigarette on her head, and leaving the show wearing a feathered high-heel shoe in her hair.
* OddCouple: Their pairing was probably the most disjointed, since (as they point out) they barely know a thing about one another, while every other team were either from the same season, and/or were friends outside of the competition.

!Yara Sofia [-(Team Yarlexis, 6th=)-]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yarasofia_3473.png]]

->'''Real Name''': Gabriel Burgos Ortiz
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 3 (4th + Miss Congeniality)

->"Baby, I'm an All-Star. I'm Yara Sofia. Swallow it."
----

* AnimeHair: Although a staple of her style even in season 3, it was turned UpToEleven here when she featured her "[[http://style.mtv.com//wp-content/uploads/style/2012/11/yara-hair.jpg four-way clothesline]]" coif.
* CallBack: After playing a rather confusing [[{{Music/AmyWinehouse}} Amy Winehouse]] in Season 3's [[CelebrityImpersonator Snatch Game]], she was asked why she didn't pick someone more her style, like Charo. Guess which celebrity she impersonates for this season's Gaff-In?
* InformedFlaw: Her lack of skill with English was sighted as one by the other queens. While Yara most certainly had an issue with the [[TheUnintelligible English language]], she never let it hold her back in the competition, always using it to her advantage when she could instead.
* MuscleAngst: Had difficulty during the Girl Group challenge due to the fact she was not strong enough to lift her celebrity partner, Kelly Osbourne, into the air. As a result, her and Alexis had to continuously simplify their choreography until their entire performance suffered as a result.
* TheUnintelligible: To the point that Alexis Mateo once commented that even though they both speak Spanish and English half the time she didn't understand Yara in either.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Had a breakdown after Chad received a loving message from her father, since she still has such a broken relationship with her own father due to being gay and being a drag queen.

!Alexis Mateo [-(Team Yarlexis. 6th=)-]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alexismateo_2184.png]]

->'''Real Name''': Alexis Mateo Pacheco
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 3 (3rd)

->"The jig is up, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitches]]!"
----

* InformedFlaw: When asked who should go home, the other queens all say Team Yarlexis due to their [[TheUnintelligible language barrier]]. However, their lack of English had never been a hindrance to them in the show, and Alexis angrily calls bullshit on the other queens as just targeting them because they were a threat to win.
* TheLoad: Alexis was accused by the other queens of coasting on her teammate's talents, as Yara had the louder personality of the pair, as well as being the one with the dressmaking skill and edgy style.
* RageBreakingPoint: She reaches one in the third episode after the other queens singled out Team Yarlexis, or more specifically Alexis herself for being TheLoad of their team, to be sent home. Alexis then proceeds to read the other queens down, and let them know that her and Yara were going to be sending all of their asses home.
* TheResenter: Claims that Mimi stole her job at a club, although Mimi says that when she was hired she had no idea Alexis was going to be let go. Regardless, Alexis still holds quite a bitter grudge.
* StraightMan: Her Music/{{Shakira}} [[CelebrityImpersonator celebrity impersonation]] was referred to as this, as although she came off kind of boring and drab, she was the perfect backboard for Yara's wacky Charo to bounce off of.

!Jujubee [-(Team Rujubee, 4th=)-]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jujubee_3548.png]]

->'''Real Name''': Airline Inthyrath
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 2 (3rd)

->"I'm Jujubee. I like long walks on the beach, big dicks, and fried chicken."
----

* AlwaysSecondBest: More like always ''third'' best. Although she did hit the top a few times, she never scored a win in the competition outside of a mini-challenge, and came in third place in the overall show ''twice'', first in Season 2, and again in ''All-Stars''. Lampshaded during the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t980f4uluTU World of Wonder Game Show]] when she's thrilled to have actually come in ''second'' for once.
* {{Expy}}: Possibly unintentional, but it is difficult not to compare her comedy act in which she imitates her [[FunnyForeigner painfully Asian grandmother]] who asks her "Are you gay?!" to well-known comedian, Creator/MargaretCho.
* HeroicBSOD: Has one after her [[FightingYourFriend emotional Lip Sync with Raven]], in which she actually started to hyperventilate and complain that she was having trouble breathing. Luckily, she got over it pretty quickly once Ru decided to keep both of them for the finale.
* FightingYourFriend: Team Rujubee's lip-sync against one another was heartbreaking, as the two were best friends outside of the show. Jujubee actually had a panic attack after the song was over and all the emotions hit her at once.
* NoFairCheating: Her and Raven were part of the ''"Don't Be Jealous of My Boogie"'' music video, and use the same choreography for the girl group challenge using that song. Ru calls them out on the fact they are basically copying the dance moves instead of making their own.
* ShrinkingViolet: Happened during the group interview in the final episode, the other queens would continue to snatch the attention, leading to Jujubee finally snapping at Shannel.

!Shannel [-(Team Shad, 4th=)-]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shannel_9667.png]]

->'''Real Name''': Bryan Watkins
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 1 (4th)

->"When I competed last time, everybody thought I was this arrogant bitch."
----

* AttentionWhore: Was called out by the other queens of always wanting all eyes on her. At one point she even had to be reigned in by her partner when she tried changing the choreography to give herself an unfair amount of spotlight.
* {{Hypocrite}}: When asked which team should be eliminated, she chooses Yarlexis because Yara is carrying both of them. Yara is quick to point out that in fact Chad is carrying Shannel.
* TheLoad: Fully admitted that it was Chad who made their team so successful.
* MistakenForRacist: During her comedy act, her comment about her being a 32 year-old white man living in a black woman's body did not go over well with the judges.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: During her own season she did not win a single challenge and considered her run a total failure, during All Stars with [[TheAce Chad Michaels]] as her partner, Team Shad won a total of three challenges, over half of the total team challenges that season.
* RulesLawyer: Liked to claim because she asked [=RuPaul=] to eliminate her in her own season she was never actually beaten by anyone, so ''technically'' she was undefeated in Drag Race.

!Raven [-(Team Rujubee, runner-up)-]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/raven_6801.png]]

->'''Real Name''': David Petruschin
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 3 (2nd)

->"I got a sassy attitude, wit, humor, I am an All-Star!"
----

* AlwaysSecondBest: Is the only queen to to end the overall series as first runner-up ''twice'', in Season 2 and again in ''All Stars''
* FightingYourFriend: Was forced to lip-sync against her best friend, Jujubee, after their team landed in the bottom during the penultimate challenge.
* LovableSexManiac: The subject of her comedy routine, in which she claimed the names of the men she sleeps with were an unwanted formality, and the longest relationship she has ever been in was a 48-hour romance with an inmate while incarcerated in jail.
* NoFairCheating: Her and Jujubee were part of the ''"Don't Be Jealous of My Boogie"'' music video, and use the same choreography for the girl group challenge using that song. Ru calls them out on the fact they are basically copying the dance moves instead of making their own.


!Chad Michaels [-(Team Shad, winner)-]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chadmichaels_1622.png]]

->'''Real Name''': Chad Michaels
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 4 (runner-up)

->"Good luck tributes, and may the odds be ever in your favor."
----

* TheAce: The favorite of All-Stars and the queen to beat according to the other contestants, Shannel even said that she didn't consider any of the other queens real competition until Chad arrived.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Although she still had her TeamMom moments, she was much more arrogant, bitter (about the previous season), and hungry to win this time around.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: As seen from the above quote, taken from ''Literature/TheHungerGames''.
* BreakTheHaughty: In the first episode during the "Half-baked" photoshoot, she had the idea to apply gore make-up to her and her partner's neck in order to make their photo more editorial. The intended message of their 'heads being on the chopping block' went right over the judges' heads, and instead came off as ugly and confusing landing her team on the bottom.
* CallBack: While preparing for her comedy routine, Chad plans on using the joke that instead of shopping at "Forever 21" she shops at "Forever ''41''". Fans of the show will remember this as the [[NoFairCheating read Jiggly Caliente gave Chad in Season 4, word for word]].
* InformedAttribute: Claims that in contrast to her partner, Shannel, in being an "Uptown Girl", her style has her more as a "Downtown Girl". Ru is quick to point out that Chad is really not 'downtown' since her look is always so put together.
* IronicNickname: Not so much their team name in general, but how [=RuPaul=] would say "Shad" with an obvious [[{{Music/Cher}} Cher]]-themed inflection. Chad is a professional Cher impersonator and ''[[SeriousBusiness hates]]'' when people use over-the-top Cher-isms to impersonate her.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: Came in second in her original season, but won the crown in ''All-Stars''.
* TheResenter: Walked into the competition making jokes about how Sharon Needles was only borrowing her crown and $100,000. The other queens even said outright she seemed resentful about losing season 4.
* ShoutOut: She makes several references to ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' during this season.
* SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness: She brings this up during the penultimate challenge, when she claims that any time you can take the silly/funny route in a challenge to do so, instead of trying to make it serious (making a CallBack to Season 4 when Jiggly Caliente got eliminated for doing just that).
* ThinkOfTheChildren: Delivered to her by [=RuPaul=] during the {{Superhero}} challenge, in which Chad wanted to name her super-heroine "[[PlayingWithFire Fire]] [[PrecisionFStrike Pussy]]". Ru told her she was hoping their comic book ideas would be less adult themed and more family friendly, so Chad ended up changing the name to "Fire Crotch" instead.
* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: In-universe, after the judges critiqued their photoshoot, Chad angrily said that an editorial picture was ''supposed'' to be misunderstood, that's what ''makes'' it editorial.

->'''Real Name''': Martin Cooper
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 5 (5th)

->"[[{{Pun}} Orange]] you girls happy to see me?"
----

* CallBack: Brings back her character from the [=RuPaul=] Roast for the stand-up challenge.
* IllBoy: Reveals during the reunion right before the show was was recovering from massive lung failure, although she didn't reveal this during the competition because she didn't want any special treatment because of it.
* ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime: Is known as the diva of Lip Syncs and is a professional showgirl and CelebrityImpersonator in Las Vegas, yet decides to step out of her box and perform a dance number inspired by the UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood. It doesn't work in her favor, and her performance was so underwhelming that her friend Roxxxy eliminated her for it.
* RunningGag: Her oft-mocked love of the color orange (due to her ungodly orange foundation during Season 5).
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Embracing the meme from Season 5, she has taken to Nacho Cheese Doritos. Interviews have even shown her to have about a dozen snack sized bags of Doritos in her hotel room, and she first enters the workroom holding a custom makeup compact in the shape of a Dorito chip.
* UncannyValleyMakeUp: Has worked hard to fix her make-up after having her complexion likened to a Dorito, however she's read on the fact that it's still off, and the only thing she's accomplished is that she's gone from Dorito to soot.

! Adore Delano [-(9th / quit)-]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/adore_delano_as2.jpg]]

->'''Real Name''': Danny Noriega
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 5 (runner-up)

->"My name is Adore Delano and I'm a messy slut! ... I'm known for being really messy! (Producer: Gimme one LOGO will actually sign off on) Oh ok ... cause [[CallBack big dicks and fried chicken]] was very subtle!"
----

* BoringButPractical: Claims her grunge aesthetic makes it easier to perform, and that she can't crowdsurf in a corset. This is only boring in the context of the show, where extravagant outfits are prized more than t-shirts and denim.
* BreakTheCutie: Worked hard since her season to build her confidence in her messy drag, but when the judges rip her style to shreds on stage it really breaks her, making her regress back to "Baby Adore" as she puts it.
* CantTakeCriticism: Is very defensive about her aesthetic and doesn't like being read for it. Outside the show she does her best to avoid the drama on social media, but realizes in the competition she has to face being doubted to her face, and that that just isn't an environment she wants to be in.
* HeroicBSOD: Could not recover from the harsh critiques she received in the first episode, and ends up walking around the werk room with swollen eyes and a fake smile looking like, as she puts it, a 'swollen baby'. In the end she couldn't push through her BSOD and bows out of the competition.
* RummageSaleReject: Ru calls her out during the reunion when Adore says she felt bad seeing the fashion she brought compared to everyone else's. Ru states to her that when you're on All Stars you have to bring original costumes and can't just wear something "off the rack", or if you are, you have to wear it in a way that no one else can copy.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: She leaves the competition in the beginning of the second episode because she feels that being read by the judges is a step backwards for her, personally and professionally. Even after Michelle apologized for her harsh words, Adore didn't want Michelle to feel obligated to tread lightly with her. As a result, Adore became the first queen to leave outside the Lip Sync round.
* SequelHook: During the reunion Ru actually extends an early invitation to Adore to participate in All Stars 3 ... although how serious that invitation actually is was unclear.
* SlobsVersusSnobs: Is a self-admitted messy slut with a 90's grunge aesthetic, so she naturally butts heads with judge Michelle Visage who prefers polished queens with a cinched waist and an affinity for showgirl glamour.
* WellDoneSonGuy: With Michelle Visage, the critiques may have been harsh, but Adore explains the reason it hits her so hard is because she has much love and respect for Michelle. After having a breakdown she just can't justify staying around since her heart isn't in it, since she doesn't want to put Michelle in a position where she feels she has to treat Adore with kid gloves during the judging.

->"Ribbit! Ribbit! The glamour toad is in the building."
----

* ADeathInTheLimelight: Doesn't get a huge amount of focus in the first two episodes, until in the beginning of Episode 3, where she's complaining about only being judged as safe.
* HeroicSacrifice: Implied she was going to do this in place of Katya when she thought Alyssa would eliminate. Alyssa doesn't quite buy it.
* LampshadeHanging: Hangs one on the editors after a shady comment towards Violet:
-->'''Ginger:''' They'll edit that out.
-->'''Detox:''' Will they, though?
-->'''Ginger:''' No, they won't!
* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: Possible bitch edit aside, she says her personal brand of comedy made her come off as a {{Jerkass}} in Season 7, and wants to use this season to show people she's actually a sweet and kind person.
* TheResenter: While she tried to claim she held no bad blood against Alyssa for eliminating her, the moment Ru said she would have the chance to come back for her revenge, Ginger was quick to claim she was more than ready to kick Alyssa out of the competition.
** She's also quick to bring up her elimination in the middle of Phi Phi and Alyssa's heated argument, derailing from the conversation.

----

* AesopAmnesia: In episode 1 she explained how the bitchy image she acquired in her season had damaged her career, prompting her to play nicer this time. One episode later she's right back at playing mind games with her competitors.
* ArtShift: Her drag has gotten a lot more experimental and androgynous in the four years since her last appearance.
* TheAtoner: Admits that many viewers see her as the bitch from Season 4, and wants to use All-Stars as a platform to show she has grown and can play nice. Subverted as she starts getting just as manipulative and competitive as she was before by the second episode.
* BrutalHonesty: Likes to make comments about the other queens about their performances, and while Phi Phi isn't really wrong about her criticisms most the queens feel she's less trying to be helpful and she's more trying to sow seeds of doubt in her competition.
* CallBack: For the stand-up comedy challenge, she brings back her 'ghetto chola' character from the "Glamazons vs. Champions" episode of Season 4.
* {{Cosplay}}: Since her season her drag aesthetic has changed drastically from pageant to cosplayer, as she shows entering the competition dressed as a Rule63 [[{{Franchise/Batman}} Riddler]].
* {{Hypocrite}}: Called out Alyssa for eliminating Ginger over Katya when Ginger did a better job in the challenge; however, when she was on the chopping block, she cited her more consistent performance in the competition over Roxxxy as why she should stay.
* ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime: Her act for the talent show is singing a cappella to demonstrate her voice. As Ginger is quick to point out, performing without music makes it easy to lose key and rhythm, which is exactly what happens during the challenge.
* ManipulativeBitch: Getting ready for Snatch Game she picks apart Alyssa and Roxxxy for their picks, telling Alyssa her Joan Crawford is too Alyssa and not enough Joan, and that Roxxxy's accent is completely wrong for Sofia Vergara. Although it's hard to tell if it affected Alyssa, Roxxxy was shaken and ended up dropping Sofia to do a rush-job Alaska impression which landed her on the bottom. Tatianna calls her out in the confession, calling Phi Phi very "strategic". However, Phi Phi says on social media that the other queens ''asked'' her for her opinion and she gave helpful advice. In true reality show fashion, her responses were spun to make it sound like she was manipulating them.
* OurLawyersAdvisedThisTrope: {{Averted|Trope}}, through a bit of LoopholeAbuse by using a GenderLift, Phi Phi is able to enter the workroom dressed as ComcBook/TheRiddler complete with BorrowedCatchphrase, despite it being a copyrighted character of Creator/DCComics. Later, they also show Phi Phi dressed as [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]], Emily from ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride'', and [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Princess Celestia]], all copyrighted characters.
* RealityShowGenreBlindness: Outside the show she's eager to blame the editing for coming off as unlikable, yet she keeps feeding the producers with lines that project cattiness and negativity. This is invoked outside the show, since most of her fellow queens agree that Phi Phi is actually a decent person who simply doesn't know how to play reality TV at all.
* SoreLoser: Does NOT take being eliminated by both Alyssa and Tatianna very well even outright refusing Alyssa's hug when leaving the runway to the utter shock of the judges. She then continues to harp on about the other girls when picking up her trophy and jokingly asks the producers if she could sell the it for $10,000. Outside the show, she posted on her Twitter account that because of All Stars 2, she's cutting off all ties to the show and has started going back to boy mode.

->'''Real Name''': Joey Santolini
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 2 (4th)

->"If they watched Season 2 they should know not to underestimate me, cause it doesn't really work out in the end ... [[CatchPhrase thank you]]."
----
* CatchPhrase: "See me with those hands" from her Spoken Word talent became popular as both a catch phrase, and used as part of a PhraseCatcher with Ru. Also, "choices" gets thrown around a lot.
* {{Corpsing}}: Visibly drops character during the Snatch Game when Detox's Nancy Grace tries to play off of Tati's Ariana Grande. It's one of the first times a queen has dropped her celebrity impersonation on camera during the challenge (and may be a part of why she ends up in the bottom 3).
* GracefulLoser: While she seemed a bit bitter after her first elimination, the second time she's chopped she takes it much more in stride, happy she at least got to return to the show long enough to introduce her character a new audience who might not of known who she was.
* {{Irony}}: In Season 2 she was underestimated because the other queens considered her a NaiveNewcomer, and now in All-Stars the queens are underestimating her because they consider her too "[[OldSoldier old school]]" since her season was 6 years ago and drag has evolved so much since then. Even more so when she gets sent home for her poor performance in Snatch Game when she actually won the first Snatch Game in her season.
* {{Nepotism}}: Claims she expected she would be sent home by Alaska, since despite the fact Alaska kept claiming Rolastatox wasn't a thing anymore, she didn't expect Alaska to actually send home one of her best friends.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] on herself when she's eliminated in the second episode, talking about since so many new Drag Race fans skip the early seasons she really wanted to use All Stars as a way to showing herself and what she can do now to the audience...
** MyGreatestSecondChance: ... but she ''and'' Alyssa win their way back to the competition in the fifth episode, meaning she can keep doing so. Unfortunately she ends up going home again the very next episode, but at least this time she states she got the chance to really show a lot more of herself to a new audience.
* VocalDissonance: Intentionally drops her voice when in drag to shock the audience. Otherwise, she's quite high pitched.

! Alyssa Edwards [-(5th)[[labelnote:*]] originally 6th[[/labelnote]]-]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alyssa_edwards_as2.jpg]]

->'''Real Name''': Justin Johnson
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 5 (6th)

->"Winning isn't everything, but ''wanting'' to win is."
----

* BreakingTheFellowship: Is the first one to break the "pact" between the queens that they would only eliminate each other based on that episode's challenge and the judge's critiques. She did this by keeping Katya over Ginger in the third episode because of Katya winning the Snatch Game the previous week, even though she was read for her performance and runway in the present challenge (whereas Ginger was only read on runway).
* CatchPhrase: Alyssa is like a catch phrase machine, but one of her most used terms this season appears to be "BEAST!"
* FountainOfMemes[[invoked]]: Was one of the most quotable queens of Season 5, perhaps of all time, so her status as this gets talked about on All Stars proper. Phi Phi even accuses Alyssa of being more concerned with spawning G-I-F's and catchphrases to put on T-shirts than actually winning the competition.
* GenkiGirl: This time around Alyssa is a ball of energy, spinning and twirling in the werkroom. Phi Phi even asks for her go-go juice to be taken away since it's so distracting.
* GracefulLoser: Despite being one of the most hyper and energentic members of the entire cast, she takes both eliminations with incredible dignity and humility.
-->'''Alyssa:''' I'm leaving this a better Alyssa than I came in. That's the win!
* HamAndDeadpanDuo: She's the Ham to Alaska's Deadpan in the ''Revenge of the Queens'' stand-up challenge.
* JackOfAllTrades: For the Talent Show her performance is described as "Variety", which is pretty accurate seeing as it included comedy bits, a [[PuppetShows puppet show]], a lip sync, a mid-act costume change, a [[AWildRapperAppears rap break]], and an Alyssa-style dance routine.
* {{Malaproper}}:
** In true form, she claims to have "buried the hatch" with Coco.
** And no, it's not called ''Rigor Morris''.
** And it's Cliffs Notes, not "Clift Notes".
* MyGreatestSecondChance: She and Tatianna win their way back into the competition in the fifth episode.
** For the challenge itself, she chooses to work with Alaska, since she has something to prove to her as a partner after her lackluster performance last time.
* TeamMom: Has small moments of this in Season 5, but shows she really does care about the other girls, especially Adore during her breakdown. A mix of a funny and heartwarming moment, a RunningGag is that Alyssa can't be bothered when she has a mirror in front of her, but when she sees in her reflection Adore is moping Alyssa immediately checks to see if she is alright.
* WhatTheHellHero: The other queens--especially Phi Phi--react this way when Alyssa breaks ranks and eliminates Ginger, whom everyone agreed made a better showing in the challenge and runway than Katya. However, Ginger and Alyssa end up getting the chance to reconcile their differences when the eliminated queens are brought back into the competition.

! Roxxxy Andrews [-(4th)-]

->'''Real Name''': Michael Feliciano
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 5 (runner-up)

->"Thick and juicy's back bitches!"
----

* TheAtoner: In Season 5 she claims to have had anger issues that she did not handle very well, and looks forward to the new competition to repair the bad image she received.
* BadassDecay: In her original season, Roxxxy won two challenges and only landed one time in the bottom. In All Stars 2 she only won one challenge, and landed in the bottom ''FIVE TIMES''.
* CallBack: When she starts bombing as MC for the stand-up comedy challenge, she enlists the help of Tasha Salad, her DoubleEntendre loving veggie-head character from the Season 5 episode "Draggle Rock".
* FormerlyFat: Has lost even more weight since her season, yet is still as juicy as ever.
* HairstyleMalfunction: While attempting to sell her DVD of wig tips & tricks, she goes for her signature wig reveal only for her under-wig to be pushed halfway up her head. Even during the finished commercial, her boy hair is still peeking out from her under-wig.
* TheLoad: Despite being in the bottom four times, Alaska didn't eliminate her. During her fifth time in the bottom, Detox still kept her around. Eventually, [=RuPaul=] had to eliminate her herself.
* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: For Snatch Game she plays fellow contestant and her good friend Alaska, however she misses a lot of the most basic references Ru tosses her way.
* PortmanteauCoupleName:[[invoked]] Formerly Rolaskatox, Alaska has distaced herself from the other two this season so Roxxxy and Detox have settled on being known as "Rotox" instead.
** During Episode 4, when she and Phi Phi partner up for a challenge, Roxxxy is seen with "Phoxxxy" written on her shirt.
* TookALevelInKindness: It's obvious she has grown a lot from her season. She states outright she won't be playing any mind games this go around, and when Adore is blindsided by extremely harsh critiques it's Roxxxy who gives her a pep talk.
-->'''Adore''': "I don't think I belong here."
-->'''Roxxxy''': "You belong here."

->'''Real Name''': Matthew Sanderson
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 5 (4th)

->"Rehab is back in session."
----

* TheFashionista: The runway queen of All Stars 2. Her looks were bold, eye-catching, and beautiful which made her stand out among the cast.
* ImNotHereToMakeFriends: Claims that the reason she lost Season 5 was because she was trying to make friends and keep Rolastatox together, and that this time she's putting all that aside to snatch the crown. In the penultimate episode, however, she saves Roxxxy over Alyssa specified outright because Roxxxy is her best friend.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Played with. Felt guilty over scaring Phi Phi away from West Hollywood after the latter came for Willam during season 4, but still feels proud for standing up for her friend.
* PortmanteauCoupleName:[[invoked]] As Alaska has dropped out of their Season 5 clique, Detox and Roxxxy now go by "Rotox" instead of Rolaskatox. They seem to have reverted by to Rolaskatox by the end of the season however.
* ShoutOut: The white bandages she wore for her "Future of Drag" runway look were obviously [[Film/TheFifthElement Leeloo's]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Sports a neon-yellow dye job out of drag, with matching painted eyebrows.

->'''Real Name''': Brian [=McCook=]
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 7 (5th + Miss Congeniality)

->"You may remember me as the lovable Russian hooker from Season 7 with a crippling anxiety problem, but I'm back with a refillable prescription for Xanax!"
----

* BilingualBonus: Coming into the work room she does her intro in Russian and says what the show translates to "Happy [[Literature/TheHungerGames Hunger Games]] ... bitches", however as she reveals later she didn't know how to say that exactly, so what she ''actually'' said is more like "The Hungry Games are happy ... [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitches]]".
** CallBack: To Chad's entrance in the first All-Stars. (See her entry above.)
** In the finale, when giving a speech on why she should win over the other girls, she concludes by saying "я звезда - навсегда. спасибо большое" in un-subtitled Russian. When Ru asks what that means, Katya responds "I have a carburetor outside that I just have to do some work on". It's not revealed during the episode, but what she actually said translates to "I am a star - forever. Thank you so much."
* BookDumb: Happily parodied when talking about the prize money this season:
-->"We get $10,000 in addition to the grand prize of $100,000! I could walk away from this competition with at least $350,000 ... I didn't go to fucking school for math!"
** Played with again during the finale, where she proudly declares that she's 'H-E-A-R, here!'.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: Delivers perhaps the most satisfying use of Adore's "Party!" catchphrase in episode 7.
* HearingVoices: Discusses how all the negativity and anxiety seems to stem from a voice in her head, which she has named "Brenda" in order to personify it and tell it to shut up. She also reveals she has an opposing voice of positivity in her head to counter Brenda, named "Karl".
* HeroicBSOD: Following bad critiques from the judges after the Herstory of the World challenge, her energy noticeably dips and she appears to shut down. Fortunately she recovers by the following week.
* OverlyLongName: Yekaterina Petrovna Zamolodchikova, but your dad just calls her Katya.
* ThisIsACompetition: In interviews she's said in Season 7 she was too nice, and wants to unleash the "monster" in All-Stars and really work towards winning. Eventually cast to the wayside, as despite these claims Katya is always friendly to her competitors, plays fair, and seems to be having a good time just being on the show.
* TookALevelInBadass: In Season 7 Katya was a mess riddled with anxiety only hit the top 5 before elimination. Come All-Stars Katya has put her vices and anxiety behind her (with one slip-up in the 3rd episode) and says there's a larger sense of joy she gets from being in the competition ... not to mention she's won three challenges and made it to the finale.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Puts on an accent when playing Björk in the Snatch Game. It sure isn't an Icelandic one.

->'''Real Name''': Justin Andrew Honard
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 5 (runner-up)

->"Nobody can do Alaska except Alaska ... but I encourage you to try! It's fun!"
----

* TheAce Wins four challenges, three lip syncs, and never ends up in the bottom until the makeover episode...
** BrokenAce: She ends up in the bottom three (by default, as anyone who wasn't in the top two that night were in the bottom) and gets the most criticism of the night. Her response is to have a massive meltdown that even her friend Detox says is making her look like a brat.
* CallBack:
** For the 2-in-1 runway she dresses as Lil' Poundcake, the child-pageant doll she created with Lineysha Sparxxx in Season 5.
** In a deleted scene during the reunion she gives Tatianna a 'Heathers' necklace as an apology for eliminating her, the same way Raja gave Stacy Lane Matthews a similar necklace during the season 3 reunion.
* ChekhovsSkill: Not the positive kind, but midway through the make-over challenge with their loved ones Alaska jokes with her mother how she still has a bad habit of crying and throwing a fit when she doesn't get her way ... cue after the runway when Alaska is in the bottom with the harshest critiques, and she starts doing just that, throwing a mini-tantrum over the possibility of not getting to the finale like she wanted.
* HamAndDeadpanDuo: The Deadpan to Alyssa's Ham in the ''Revenge of the Queens'' stand-up challenge.
* HonorBeforeReason: Claims that she saved Roxxxy over Tatianna because Roxxxy lent her the top she was wearing on the runway, despite it being Roxxxy's fourth time in the bottom and Roxxxy herself seeming willing to accept her elimination.
* HypocrisyNod: After she calls out Alyssa for not having a 2 in 1 runway look, Katya calls Alaska out that her own 2 in 1 runway also didn't meed the criteria, since the first look was just a mess of black garbage bags and not a real look.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Especially evident during the finale, where she seemingly rejects her friendships because she's afraid that's going to be what costs her the crown. Fortunately, she does have MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment later on, admitting its the pressure of the finale and the fear of coming so far and doing so well only to come up short that is fueling her poor attitude.
* LampshadeHanging: Hangs one during the reunion after she and Katya get into a completely joking spat.
-->'''Katya:''' You're a pig from hell!
-->'''Alaska:''' Fuck you! ... they're gonna edit that in the commercial to look like I meant it. (they did)
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Roxxxy decides to play ''her'' for the Snatch Game (Roxxxy as Alaska 5000), marking the second time in the show's history a contestant has impersonated someone actually in the same room [[note]]Jessica Wilde was the first in Season 2 when she impersonated Ru[[/note]]. Of course the real Alaska couldn't help but drop a little Creator/MaeWest "what's the big idea?" during Roxxxy's introduction.
* MagnificentBastard: in the last episode of Katya's Youtube series "Total Rucall" she reflects in hindsight on how calculated Alaska's tantrum was played. According to Katya, Alaska just played the game too well.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: Out of everyone, she is the winner of All Stars 2 so she finally snatched the crown that evaded her in Season 5.
* MythologyGag: In episode 4 she walked the runway dressed as Lil' Poundcake, her iconic styrofoam pageant daughter.
* OutOfFocus: Alaska didn't get much screentime outside of the challenges and hardly any ConfessionCam talking heads until episode 7, strangely enough as she'd been doing really well up to then.
* PromotedFanboy: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] during her final "Why should you win?" speech, stating that she's been a diehard superfan of the show since the first season. Now that she's the winner of All Stars, she's been promoted about as far as any fanboy can go.
* RunningGag: Her odd love of non-heels; she wears combat boots, kitten heels, and jelly flats more often then typical drag heels. This actually bites her in the ass come the make-over challenge. When she sends her mother down the runway in flip-flops, the judges finally call her out on it, calling it lazy.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Tries to pull this when up for elimination in the penultimate episode, she offers her friend Detox $10,000 of her own prize money (tax-free and transferred through Paypal) in exchange for not eliminating her. She's not eliminated that episode and gave the bribe money to a charity.
* TookALevelInJerkass: With four wins, three $10,000 lip syncs, and no times in the bottom under her belt, by the 7th episode Alaska claims to feel very 'comfortable' with her position in the competition and starts lording it over the remaining queens and snarking about it in the confessionals.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Has distanced herself from Detox and Roxxxy, stating that although all the original parts of Season 5's Rolaskatox are in this season, that it doesn't mean the band is getting back together. By the end of the season though, even Ru can see that Rolaskatox seems to be a 'thing' again, what with Alaska saving Roxxxy from elimination three times.

->'''Real Name''': Shane Thor Galligan
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 8 (6th)

-> "I'm back again to clown around some more, and hopefully stir up some trouble."

----

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Claims she's more focused than ever...while the confessionals promptly show her fiddling with her glasses.
* ElegantClassicalMusician: Subverted. Thorgy can play violin like no other, but she's best known for her kooky and offbeat personality.
* FixingTheGame: Thorgy alleges that she is the victim of this- she doesn't see Music/StevieNicks as a gay icon and argues that the lyrics in the third challenge give her zero moments to shine. The self defeating attitude massively affects her performance. When she protests on the runway, Ru swiftly shuts her down.
* GreenEyedMonster: She blames her Season 8 loss on Bob The Drag Queen stealing the show. Chi Chi points out Bob's not here this time, and Thorgy has no one to blame but herself if she loses.
* TheResenter:
** While she tries to claim to be over Bob the Drag Queen, she brings it up ''constantly'', making quite obvious she still harbors resentment for Season 8 turning into "The Bob Show".
** She is extremely bitter over Shangela eliminating her, leaving a crude message on the mirror trying to push as many of Shangela's buttons as possible, and harping on it quite a bit during her farewell video.
* SoreLoser: Just like her last elimination in Season 8, she doesn't take her loss well, stating that the show will be "boring TV" without her, as well as throwing shade at Shangela in her goodbye message.
* TookTheBadFilmSeriously[[invoked]]: Can't fathom playing up Stevie Nicks in any hilarious way, and instead takes the character way too seriously, claiming Nicks internalizes all her emotions and doesn't really perform in a 'YAS QUEEN' sort of way. In the end the Stevie she turns in for the challenge is perfectly fine, but just doesn't meet the high bar many of the other queens set with their own divas.

! Milk [-(9th)-]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/milk_1.jpg]]

->'''Real Name''': Dan Donigan
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 6 (9th)

-> "Hi, I'm Milk. The manly queen is back."

----

* CallBack: Says that she expects her time on the show to inspire future challenges, this a direct reference to her wearing facial hair on her first runway in Season 6 inspiring the Bearded Beauty runway of Season 7.
* DramaQueen: When she starts having a crying fit over not hitting the top three in the second episode, Trixie rolls her eyes and claims that Milk's showing a lot of emotion for being safe.
* EvilIsPetty: After her elimination she steals all the styrofoam wig heads and clothes hangers from her station, just so none of the other queens could use them.
* TheFashionista: Milk isn't just a professional model, she's close with Marc Jacobs and has been featured in one of his ad campaigns.
* GenderBender: Milk's preferred aesthetic, subject to a ton of criticism in Season 6. Her Meet the Queens promo look parodies this by pairing an elegant face with an over-the-top muscle suit.
* GenreBlindness: A LOT. One of Milk's first confessionals in the season is her stating that she's better than Trixie (who's on par with Shangela for being the fan favourite of the season).
** Cue the Diva's rehearsals and Milk is the only one (besides, choreographer Todrick) who seems bothered by Shangela's in-character antics. First rule of Drag Race, don't come for the fan favourites. Especially if said fan favourite is Shangela.
** Milk then gives a very weak performance in the challenge - alongside a poor challenge look and a 'bleh' runway look that fans agree should've landed her in the bottom - she moves to the back of the stage and has a very vocal hissy fit about not being in the top. This hissy fit continues backstage where she begins to cry about being ''safe''. Girl, if the hissy fit almost destroyed Alaska's rep last season, why would you try it?
** In the third episode challenge when tasked to play a "crazy stalker", she proceeds to play the role entirely manic and constantly talks over her partner Trixie. Manic performances rarely ever go over well with the judges (look at Kenya Michael's Beyoncé from Season 4), and it is never good to step over your partner. When she ends up in the bottom three, Milk is ''still'' completely at a loss as to what was wrong with her performance.
* {{Mooning}}: After packing up her things, she leaves the Werk Room by mooning the camera.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Has a moment of this when she returns after her elimination and everyone basically admits they thought Milk was acting rude and full of herself. She even says she feels shafted that no one told her and she was allowed to walk around like a douchebag during her entire tenure.
* PunnyName: Like season 6, no one wastes any time milking her drag name for humor.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Getting some fan recognition and becoming a model for Marc Jacobs has seriously inflated Milk's ego, as she declares she's expecting her presence to inspire future challenges, as well as becoming hysterical when other people do better than her in challenges.
* SoreLoser: When she missed the top three in the [=VH1=] Diva's Live challenge not only is she caught cussing out Ru's decision when she leaves the stage, but she goes into a fit of hysterics over it in the Werk Room. This is even more true in the following episode when she is sent home, as she venomously puts down her fellow bottom queens, and calls the decision to send her home stupid.
* StalkerWithACrush: The reason she was so excited about her assigned role in the Bitchelor challenge was that she met her real-life partner, world-class ballet dancer James Whiteside, through stalking him on [=MySpace=] and then strategically weaseling herself into his circle of friends. Unfortunately it didn't help her with creating a well-received performance, it may even have inspired her to go this overboard.
* TemptingFate: When Kennedy is saved from elimination, Milk (who said she would've kept Thorgy over her) says in a confessional that she'll have to be sent home next week. Guess who eliminates Milk that week?
* TookALevelInJerkass: In season 6, she was quite good-natured. Here though, she's pompous, egotistical, entitled, and delusional.

----

* AlwaysSecondBest: Admits to feeling this in Season 8 and feels it again in the first comedy challenge, especially when many of her competitors are professional comedians.
* BoringButPractical: Wears plain black jazz shoes for her dancing and gymnastics talent. Carson tries to justify this trope, but Michelle notes that Chi Chi has done amazing tricks in heels before, landing her in the bottom.
* CallBack: Is aware of her poor track record in All Stars 3, and says she would prefer to be eliminated gracefully than to be kept around and turn into the Roxxxy Andrews of this season.
* DanceBattler: Chi Chi is famous for her killer moves.
* GracefulLoser:
** In her elimination episode she all but tells the Top 2 to send her home for fairness reasons, since her poor track record clearly shows she's overchallenged by the competition. They both comply. This also makes her the first eliminated queen this season to not express any harsh feelings towards the LSFYL winner for sending her home.
** When the eliminated queens are given a chance to return, Chi Chi directly states that the winner should ''not'' bring her back, as she's already accepted she's not quite on the same level as her competitors and says her return would just be beating a dead horse.
* HeroicBSOD: After her third time in the bottom (in only three episodes) Chi Chi finally admits she doesn't think she's really as up to par as her competitors as she thought, and basically says she wouldn't be surprised if its her time to go.
* NoBudget[[invoked]]: Averted! Unlike Season 8, Chi Chi claims that she can afford a nice wardrobe and wigs.
* PopculturalOsmosisFailure: Attempts to play Maya Angelou for the Snatch Game, but not only does she spell her name wrong, but she seems to have no idea who Maya Angelou is besides a poet who speaks very methodically. A reference towards ''Literature/IKnowWhyTheCagedBirdSings'' by Ru flies right over Chi Chi's head.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Played Maya Angelou for the Snatch Game, but spelled her name "Mya" on her name card.

->'''Real Name''': Jay Rivera
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 9 (9th)

->"Ayo sis! I have some unfinished business."
----

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Aja is the youngest contestant ever in a season of All Stars, beating out Tatianna and Adore Delano by 4 years. On top of that, she appears on All Stars 3 less than a year after Season 9.
* BreakTheHaughty: Admits Season 9 was this for her, she walked into the season thinking she was perfect and would steamroll the competition, only to be read to filth for not being HD ready and going home early. However, she says she's thankful for that experience and that it made her a better queen.
* DanceBattler: One of many queens this season who can turn it in a lip sync. She's a New York legend for it. She lives up to this during the first episode too, doing a death drop ''off the stage'' onto the main stage, and out-dancing other dance legends like Chi Chi, Shangela, and Kennedy.
* GracefulLoser: While she does mention frustration that Bebe eliminated her ''after'' Aja had helped her sew her own challenge winning outfit, she keeps positive about her departure and just expresses happiness that she did as well as she did.
* HeroicBSOD: After being in the bottom two and being continuously cut off and belittled by Bebe, Aja realized Bebe had no intention of saving her should she win the lip sync and had a minor breakdown, saying the conversation left her entire mood changed.
* PopculturalOsmosisFailure: Actually gets scolded during the Studio 54 Disco runway for her look reading more 60's than 70's, and for not even knowing how to pronounce France Joli, even though Aja claims she was using her as a reference. Ru tells her that being 23 isn't an excuse, and Drag Queens have a duty to know their 'Herstory' and where they came from.
* TookALevelInBadass: In season 9, Aja was consistently safe or in the bottom. She starts All Stars 3 by winning the first challenge.
* WhatTheHellHero: Calls Bebe out in the sixth episode for not only taking all the credit for making her own outfit when Aja helped her, but for not even letting Aja plead her case to stay and constantly cutting her off during deliberation.

->"Hi everyone! It's me, [=BenDeLaCreme=]! [[HereWeGoAgain ...again]]."
----

* TheAce: Dela wins an unprecedented four challenges in a row and five challenges total. She's also the first contestant in the history of the show to win the ''Snatch Game'' in two seasons. The only time she gets called out by the judges was when she is just safe in the fifth episode for only giving 100% in the challenge instead of her usual 120%.
** She's arguably TheAce of the entire ''Drag Race'' franchise, considering that she has the best statistics of any queen to have ever participated, which is made even more impressive considering that she finished in sixth place after voluntarily quitting the competition.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: As Goth Kitty, she identifies three things that make the world a crappy place: bigotry, the GOP, and misplaced tucks.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Shangela points out how Ben's 'playing the game' just as much as everyone else, and how she can tell how carefully [=BenDeLa=] chooses her words to minimize confrontation, making her demeanor seem almost manipulative.
* BlessedWithSuck: Really treats winning the $10,000 Lip Sync for Your Legacy as this, she's in tears after having to send Morgan home in the first episode and neither the win itself nor the money offer her any comfort. The other queens just roll their eyes over the theatrics of Ben's reaction.
* {{Camp}}: Dela's natural aesthetic, she embodies the '60s in her acts.
* {{Goth}}: Becomes so upset over Morgan calling her out over her elimination that during the Girl Group challenge Ben channels all her angst and a negative emotions into a rather uncharacteristic goth girl persona, a stark contrast to her normal terminally delightful drag character.
* HeroicSacrifice: Come the sixth episode when tasked with sending home someone from the top five, Ben realizes that she just doesn't care as much about the crown as her competitors do and eliminates herself.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Gets called out by Morgan for her elimination, since Ben made a big deal out of playing a fair game and eliminating a queen based on judges' critiques, only to immediately turn around and eliminate Morgan due to a clash of personal interests.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: After winning episode 1's lip sync, she declares that the queens had come to the consensus[[note]]They hadn't. But anyway...[[/note]] that the weaker queen of the bottom two should be the one sent home each week...and she must protect this system by eliminating Morgan. Not because Morgan was the worst that week, but because she planned to eliminate the bigger threat given the opportunity.
* {{Irony}}: After her self-elimination Bendela is able to go home with a clear conscience... except not quite since she has to come BackForTheFinale, because all the other eliminated queens have to decide the top two. You know, the kind of system she'd just taken a stand against.
* JackOfAllTrades: Comedy, burlesque, acting, improv, impersonations, hot-gluing outfits, singing ... Ben really can do it all, as 5 wins out of 6 episodes clearly demonstrates. Lampshaded during the Creator/AndyWarhol soup can challenge when her soup flavor is simply presented as an "All-Purpose Soup" that can do everything.
* MrsRobinson: Dela plays a cougar to great effect in the Bitchelor challenge.
* NiceGuy: Is trying very hard to emanate this character, she was Miss Congeniality of Season 6 and expresses concern that she doesn't want fans to think she's become bitchy since then.
* NoDamageRun: UpToEleven. Every other queen across ALL seasons of All Stars was up for elimination at least once. Dela never even placed below safe.
* PatterSong: Lip syncing to Ru's song "Call Me Mother" in the style of a Broadway Musical Julie Andrews came across this way, dishing out swag rhymes while keeping the lighthearted demeanor Andrews is famous for. During deliberation Ru even expresses awe that Ben could nail the lyrics so well in just a few hours, when it took Ru ''5 days'' to record the track due to how busy the song is.
* PersonAsVerb: Not in All Stars 3 proper, but during ''Drag Race UK'' series 2 Tayce adopted Ben's name as a synonym for a queen voluntarily leaving the competition, for the specific case of Ginny Lemon self-eliminating during a lip-sync ("she [=BenDeLaCreme=]'d herself").
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Benign example, but in the sixth episode Ben realizes the only reason she wanted to return to the show in the first place was to prove herself to her fans ... which winning 5 out of 6 episodes (and 2 and a half of the lip syncs) she realizes she has already done. She realizes she doesn't care about the actual title as much as the other girls do, so she eliminates herself and leaves the show on her own terms.
* SuddenHumility: Out of no where states she doesn't think she should have won 'The Bitchelor' challenge over Trixie ... but as Shangela notes, not only did Ben not volunteer her prize if she really felt like that, but she's playing a WoundedGazelleGambit since she's been winning every challenge thus far.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Invoked but averted, Dela won Miss Congeniality in Season 6 and jokes that now she can be mean this time, but come the actual show is so obsessed with being 'congenial' that her competitors worry she may sabotage herself. This actually comes to pass in the sixth episode, she is so non-confrontational and against competition that she ultimately eliminates herself as the crown and title just don't mean much to her.

->"[[MythologyGag I look pretty good for a dead bitch.]]"
----

* ConflictBall: Her MTQ videos suggests that this is why she was brought back- she's famous for causing drama. She's half-responsible for creating Untucked's first big fight ("Bitch I am from CHICAGO!") and got so deeply into a feud with Season 2 winner Tyra Sanchez that Tyra was banned from performing at Morgan's home club.
* DontYouDarePityMe: While she is thankful Ben brought her back into the competition, she is a little perturbed that Ben may have only did it because she felt guilty about eliminating Morgan first, and not because Morgan genuinely deserved to return.
* HoistByHerOwnPetard: Publicly declares that if she were in charge of an elimination, she would boot the bigger threat, not the poorer performer. She ends up getting eliminated because that attitude made her a bigger threat than the other eligible queen.
** In the episode after being picked to return to the competition, she chooses a character in the Chick Flick challenge that didn't play into her talents specifically to impress the judges. Sure enough, she falls flat and she's eliminated.
* LosAngeles: A fixture and regular in the West Hollywood drag scene, she's only gotten more prominent since season 2.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: Eliminated in the first episode, but gets to return to the competition after the sixth episode. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] however, as she was eliminated one episode later.
* PlayingAgainstType[[invoked]]: States this is why she chose the insane ballerina character of [[Film/BlackSwan Beige Swan]] over something she would be more comfortable with, such as [[LovableAlphaBitch Sharon Frokovich]] or [[TheHighQueen The Queen]], she wanted to play against type for the judges and impress them ... it doesn't work out though and she ends up eliminated.
* RealityShowGenreBlindness:
** Announces to the Werk Room that if she wins a challenge she will send home whoever she considers her biggest competition, even if that person didn't do the worst that episode. Gets immediately called out afterwards that declaring this outloud was probably a stupid move, and sure enough, when Ben wins the first challenge she sends Morgan home specifically because Morgan made her intentions known to everyone.
** When given the choice of her character for the Chick Flick challenge, Morgan picks the very difficult ''Film/BlackSwan''-{{Expy}} character instead of something more inside her range of talents specifically because she didn't want to play it safe. Thing is, Morgan has missed almost all the other episodes, and the other queens point out so late in the game she really should have picked something she knew she could excel at instead of taking such a major risk that ended up sending her home.
* RealityIsUnrealistic: Her "Beige Swan" character's hissing noises were based [[ShownTheirWork on how swans actually sound in real life]], but since most people don't know this, it led to a very confusing performance, as Ross Matthews points out.
* TakeThat: After her second elimination she is quick to give every queen on the stage a hug, even the one who sent her home, saying that 'she's not Phi Phi'.
* TemptingFate: After returning to the fold she spends a good deal of the episode talking about how queens who return to the show typically go home the same episode they are brought back ... and goes on to be sent home herself the same episode she returns.
* ThisIsACompetition: Claims outright she doesn't want a repeat of last season where the queens only eliminated each other based on judges critiques. She reminds everyone this is a competition, and if she wins a challenge she will send home whoever she feels is a threat.
* TheUnfavorite: Self-invoked, when reminded that sending home the wrong queens can cause backlash in the real world, Morgan curtly states that she knows she's probably the least popular/noteworthy queen of the cast, so everyone else is basically a "fan favorite" over her. This is also why she doesn't care who she sends home, as she expects backlash regardless of who it is.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: First eliminated from All Stars 3, and as her season originally aired way back in 2010, she really missed out on the opportunity to show how far she's come (like Tatianna last All Stars did). She returns to the competition in the Girl Group episode to get a second chance to show what she can do, but ends up going home the very next episode without really getting to spread her wings.

----

* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: During the Girl Group challenge she sings some vaguely African-style chant during her part, but when questioned about it by the judges during critiques she admits it was just gibberish that sounds ethnic but doesn't actually mean a thing.
* GenreBlindness:
** During a lip sync she takes off her wig, having nothing but her boy hair underneath. Taking off your wig (and not having another wig or surprise underneath) has become a lip sync taboo ever since season 4, and indeed as soon as Bebe does it Ru's smile disappears and Ben is declared the winner of the lip sync.
** When the eliminated queens are brought back to decide who should make it through to the top two, Bebe meets with them and treats them coldly, making sure she gives her own big speech without trying at all to be personable, and sticking to her guns that she still doesn't want to reveal who she would have kept/sent home had she won the redemption challenge. In the end the eliminated queens say Bebe comes off as so above it all they couldn't as a majority pass her through to the final lip sync.
* IceQueen: Has a very frigid and haughty demeanor throughout the entire competition, and while that may be interpreted as a high level of confidence, the fact she couldn't defrost that chilly persona caused the other queens to decided to vote her out of the top two of the season.
* ItWasHisSled[[invoked]]: Her being in this season was a tightly kept secret, and she wasn't officially revealed until the season premiere. However, a new season of ''Drag Race'' means several drag queens suddenly cancelling appearances around the same time; this evidence, along with actual leaks, meant fans already knew [=BeBe=] would be back. Averted within the show--some queens had expected the secret queen to be Valentina.
* ItsAllAboutMe: When Aja confronts her about not sharing the credit for her challenge-winning look, Bebe quite abruptly shuts her down and says the judges' compliments were meant for her and her alone.
* LivingLegend: Was the winner of Season 1 of Drag Race, when every other queen in ''All-Stars 3'' was top 4 at best in her original season. Many of the queens are intimidated just by her presence due to her track record.
* PopculturalOsmosisFailure: Does not know who Ornacia is, the memetastic bejewled mannequin head from Season 6 of Drag Race. The other queens are dumbfounded at this, and realize even though Bebe won the first season, she might not actually watch the newer seasons of the show.
* {{Pride}}: Has no lack of overabundant confidence, as she is quite sure of herself and sees no faults with her run on All Stars, even outright ignoring judges' critiques. Trixie comments that while that sort of confidence can be an asset, it can also be a major flaw. This proves to be a major part of her undoing in the finale, she treats her eliminated competitors at arms' length and comes off as cold, so they decide to vote her out of the top two.
* ProperLady: [=BeBe=] has the most poise and dignity of the entire cast, which Dela worries could hold her back in comedy challenges.
* MotorMouth: Not usually, but during deliberation after winning the fifth episode challenge, she refuses to let Aja get a word in edgewise to defend why she shouldn't be sent home. Aja tries to explain why she wants to make it to the top, but Bebe just steamrolls her, telling Aja she should be proud with just how far she's gotten and cutting her off curtly before excusing herself from the conversation, leaving Aja visibly shaken.
* StealingTheCredit: When her outfit wins the Studio 54 Disco challenge, Bebe neglects to admit to the judges that Aja helped her cut and/or sew her garment, taking all the credit herself (Michelle even asks point blank, 'you made this all yourself?!').
* SoOkayItsAverage[[invoked]]: In spite of returning as the only queen who won her season, [=BeBe=] had not won a single a challenge in the first four episodes. Trixie even calls this out in the fifth episode in that Bebe for all her grandeur had yet to really prove herself (until Bebe wins that particular episode, of course).
* TookALevelInJerkass: When Aja calls her out for not giving her any credit on stage for helping her sew her outfit, Bebe quite rudely shuts her down and says the compliments from the judges were her's and her's alone, and giving Aja credit wouldn't have saved her anyway (this after it was noted everyone else on stage ''did'' admit when they got help, Bebe being the only exception).
* TheUnreveal: Refuses to reveal which lipsticks she chose for who she would send home nor who she would have had stay had she won the Girl Group lip sync. Bebe claims it's in honor of Ben's sacrifice, although the other queens are fairly certain it is because Bebe doesn't want to risk making an enemy of one of the other queens so close to the end of the competition. This gets brought up again when the eliminated queens want to know who she would have picked (presumably under unspoken threat of them using their power to eliminate her from the final two over her head) and Bebe still doesn't budge.
** Aja later revealed on a podcast that Bebe would have chosen [[spoiler:Morgan to return and would have sent home ''Trixie''.]] Presumably, she kept mum to avoid the backlash.

->'''Original Appearances''': Season 2 (12th), Season 3 (6th)

-> "Looks like the box got an upgrade and so did I! Halleloo, I'm back bitches! ...again."

----

* AchillesHeel: Can sing, dance, tell jokes, and do just about everything the competition requires out of her ... except sew. In spite of learning how to sew for two months, creating an outfit is just not in Shangela's wheelhouse and when a sewing challenge comes around, she fails rather spectacularly.
* AllForNothing: She spent the whole season carefully (and openly) gaining allies, playing strategically and eliminating other queens based on who would keep her on (while referencing ''Game Of Thrones'' almost OnceAnEpisode during the {{Confession Cam}}s). Of course, Shangela couldn't have anticipated that Ru would bring back all the eliminated queens, not to mention giving them the vote on their pick for the top two of the season, and suffice to say, a lot of those queens didn't take kindly to Shangela's strategy. And just like that, she gets unceremoniously eliminated in the finale, prompting one of the show's most infamous {{Death Glare}}s from Shangie.
* BaitAndSwitch: After winning Snatch Game, she makes a big speech about how the queen she is eliminating may have struggled on her season but left the show to become a fan favorite, making it ''really'' sound like she's about to eliminate Trixie (Trixie herself in tears as she expects the shoe to drop), only to reveal she's eliminating Chi Chi instead. To be fair, Shangela's speech could basically apply to almost ''any'' of the girls that season (except [=Bebe=]).
* CallBack : Constantly references jokes she's made and themes she's used in previous seasons, such as entering the workroom behing a box front prop, wearing two different outfits with her {{Catchphrase}} 'halleloo' printed on them, and wearing a sparkling corn-inspired tearaway on the third episode runway. Lampshaded by Dela upon her entrance and seeing her box: "well, hallewho could this be?"
* TheChessmaster: Her strategy for All Stars is really a careful game of her making alliances with queens she not only thinks will remain loyal to her but who will also win future challenges so they can be in a position to save her, as well as some good old fashioned passive aggressive bullying to keep her allies in line. Every time she makes even a slightly strategic decision, expect a ConfessionCam with Shangela explaining her reasoning and probably making a [[RunningGag Game of Thrones]] reference.
* CommutingOnABus: All Stars 3 marks her third time competing on the show, minus cameos in Season 4 and All-Stars 2. This time, she's had seven years to improve since Season 3.
* GenreBlindness: States this was the reason she failed Seasons 2 & 3, she assumed drag was all about performance and thus didn't invest any time on the polish, but states since then her make-up and fashion is well up to par. Sewing, on the other hand, is still a problem for Shangie.
* GenreSavvy: Like Season 3, she knows full well she's on a reality t.v. show and partially bases her eliminations on who will keep her in the competition.
* GracefulLoser: Despite visibly holding back tears, she takes her elimination in stride, saying she's proud of how much she improved.
* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: Shangela is anything but a seamstress, and come the Andy Warhol sewing challenge she makes a rather hideous disco dress, Trixie even stating it's probably the single worst outfit in the history of Drag Race.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Spends the entire competition playing the game like she's on ''Game of Thrones'', which while that gets her far in the show it doesn't really make her popular with the eliminated queens. Come the finale when the axed queens get to pick who of the final four will become the final two, they swiftly pass Shangela over and eliminate her (Shangela herself puts it best, there are three queens who are pissed at her for eliminating them, two who resent her because she's there and they aren't, and Ben who knows in the back of her mind had she not eliminated herself, she'd be the frontrunner instead of Shangie).
* MathematiciansAnswer: Right before revealing her lipstick in episode 4 she makes a speech about how the queen she's about to eliminate may have failed during her original season of Drag Race, but then went on to become a breakout hit with the fan, the show ''really'' making it sound like she's about to eliminate Trixie. Thing is, with the exception of [=BeBe=] (who won her season) that speech could literally be applied to anyone on that stage, Shangela herself included!
* MethodActing[[invoked]]: When tasked to play Mariah Carey, she really starts acting like an entitled and vapid diva during rehearsal, pissing off choreographer Todrick Hall and fellow competitor, Milk. Come the challenge itself she delivers a hilariously accurate diva performance, getting kudos from Todrick in spite of working his nerves with the diva routine during practice.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Gets scared out of doing Miss Cleo for the Snatch Game after Ru clocked her [[WelcomeToTheCaribbeanMon Jamaican Accent]] as sounding more [[{{Oireland}} Irish]] instead (and proceeded to ''stay'' Irish even after being pointed out as such).
* OutGambitted: By none other than [=RuPaul=] herself. Shangela spent the entire season gaining allies; whenever she was in the top two, she would save a queen from elimination based whether or not they'd save her if the tables were turned. This strategy promptly bit her in the ass when Ru brought back all the previously-eliminated queens and had ''them'' vote on the top two for the crown. Since this includes queens Shangela either eliminated or would have eliminated, they unsurprisingly did not vote for her to be in the top two despite having the strongest track record after Dela.
* RunningGag: Keeps comparing her methodology of competing in Drag Race to ''Series/GameOfThrones''.
* TookALevelInBadass: Shangela is infamous for starting two different seasons in the bottom two, and not knowing how to sew. She takes one of those fashion fails, upgrades it, gets lavish praise from Vanessa Williams (who had been a judge for the original challenge) and ends up winning the night.
* YouMightRememberMeFrom[[invoked]]: Shangela references her many TV appearances right out the gate to show her overall improvement.

->"Round 2, bitches."
----

* TheAtoner: Acknowledges that she was "bitchy" back in season 7 and admits she wants to do better. How successful she is actually being in that atonement is up for debate, as Kennedy is still a very abrupt and no-nonsense queen naturally.
* DanceBattler: Like Chi Chi, Kennedy is a legendary lip sync assassin who infamously sent fan favorite Katya home in Season 7. During the final lip sync for the crown Kennedy pulls out some of her best and most impressive dance moves ever (from slo-mo splits to running pirouettes) against Trixie ... even though the song, arguably, didn't really call from such a high octane physical performance.
* DarkHorseVictory: In terms of stats come the final four, Kennedy was by far a distant fourth and quite unlikely to be any sort of contender for the crown compared to Shangela (who had the best stats), Trixie (big fan favorite with second best stats), or Bebe (first winner of Drag Race who had barely been on the bottom). However, when Ru changes all the rules and has the eliminated queens pick who would move on to the final two, they pick Kennedy ''by a landslide'' due to finding her situation more sympathetic and inspirational, as well as realizing Kennedy just needs the win more than the others who all already have successful careers outside the show.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: For the final lip sync for the crown, Kennedy decides to do her routine barefoot (in spite of that generally being considered a ''major'' Drag Race faux pas) so that she can really give it her all performing high-level and high-energy dance moves.
* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: This marks the second time Kennedy wears a rainbow gown for her finale runway, her saying that wearing a rainbow fills her with gay pride.
* GrumpyBear: Pretty much her role this season, she is very short with other competitors and resents any sort of foolishness, such as Thorgy and Milk leaving disparaging messages on the mirrors when they were eliminated. She also is the first to shoot down WideEyedIdealist Ben's attempts to sway the girls to judge based on critiques and overall fairness, stating she's there to play the game and doesn't subscribe to playing 'fair' the same way Ben does.
* JackOfAllTrades: While she's known for being a pageant queen and a dancer, Kennedy reminds Ross and the viewers that she's got serious comedy chops.
* JerkassHasAPoint: A recurring thing for Kennedy. In episode 1, she gets into a brief spat with Shangela after Kennedy expresses surprise at Aja's return, which the others take as her underestimating her. However, when you think about it, Aja has at this point had maybe a matter of months to improve her drag and performance skills, while queens like Bebe and Morgan have had almost 10 years; so Aja returning now, against such seasoned queens, '''is''' a surprise.
* OhCrap: Visibly stunned when placed low for the second episode, since she clearly thought to be safe.
* TechnicianVersusPerformer: Kennedy is known as the Dancing Diva, but only when it comes to free-styling. When she is required to be more technical in her dancing and follow choreography she has a very hard time landing the moves, as shown when she puts out a sub-par Janet Jackson in the Divas' Live challenge.
* ThisIsACompetition: When Ben tries to convince the girls that they should eliminate like they did last All Stars, based heavily on the judges' critiques, Kennedy is quick to shoot that idea down, stating she plans on playing the game and make her own choices, even if they are not considered fair or are based on anything other than personal grudges or preferences.
* TheUnapologetic: She stands by her decisions and her snarks, whether they be based on legitimate gripes or personal hurt feelings, and says (more than once) that she owes no one an apology if they took offense to her comments.
* TheUnfavorite: Talks about how she wants to use All Stars to become one of the Drag Race girls fans want to see first, and not a "Second Thought Queen" that's sitting alone until the last five minutes after fans have already met with the queens they actually came to see.
* WTHCostumingDepartment[[invoked]]:
** Kennedy's entrance look is a mishmash of disco ball mirrors, shards of glass, and a wig that resembles a mushroom cloud. Fans immediately made memes comparing it to Pokemon.
** Invoked during her Redemption Runway, in which she wears an upgraded version of her infamous Death Becomes Her outfit, this time with a tearaway to reveal she really ''has'' been [[TakenForGranite crystallized]] this time.

----
* AlwaysSecondBest: Gets frustrated with Ben because she puts it, both she and Ben are Darkhorses, but Ben's horse is so ahead of the competition that Trixie doesn't feel like she even can catch up. Finally breaks out of this come the fifth episode (as well as coming through and winning the entire season!).
* BlackComedy: Trixie's forte. Her face looks like a Barbie doll, but her humor is beyond messed up.
* CausticCritic: Tying in with the above, she's not afraid to lambaste her sisters in the confessionals. Fans are divided on if this is funny or just rude.
* CursedWithAwesome: When she's given the lead role of Sharon Frokovich for the Wedding Chick Flick challenge, Trixie is upset that she's been given a role with little character and the most lines ... until she gets out on set and realizes having so much of the focus centered on her gives her the opportunities to make it funny and steal the spotlight, which she does!
* DeadpanSnarker:
** Is renown for her dry wit, but this attitude may have bit her in the ass during the Girl Group challenge in which she snarks to guest judge Music/AdamLambert, to which he took seriously. He lambasts her during critiques for coming off as over it, to Trixie's complete shock since she was just trying to be funny.
** Also nearly bites her in the ass ''again'' come deliberations when she chats with Bebe, with Bebe taking Trixie's blasé attitude as an indicator that she didn't care if she was eliminated or not.
* GenreBusting: Trixie jokes that she is the most successful (and only) folk drag musician.
* HatesBeingTouched: Casually mentions that when she's not in-character and on-stage she doesn't like being hugged.
* HeroicSecondWind: Is constantly bested during the first half of the season and nearly gets eliminated in the Snatch Game, the single challenge Trixie was the most confident about, leaving her troubled. After that, Trixie revs up and starts winning challenges (even being praised for pulling herself out of her first half-season funk by the judges) and going to score a surprise victory, snatching the crown in the finale!
* NiceGuy: In comparison to Shangela and Bebe, while Trixie can be snarky she still comes off as friendly plus she never actually eliminated anyone in the competition. This is quite likely a major reason why when the eliminated queens get to vote on who to pass through to the final four, they pick Trixie (and Kennedy) over Shangela (who has been playing a cutthroat game all season) and Bebe (who comes off as very haughty).
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Even after reaching an understanding about Thorgy's hateful note with Shangela, it still gets brought up quite a bit in the following episodes.
* SplitPersonality: Discusses this after being called out for being too dour and snarky by Adam Lambert, stating that while on stage and in drag she's full of energy and effervescent, off-stage she's just an introverted white boy who doesn't like hugs.
* TakeThat: While setting up their stations Trixie picks one out specifically because she remembers Pearl had that mirror ... and since Pearl coasted her way to the top three, Trixie is hoping to feed off that energy herself. She never forgets to remind Milk about her breakdown either.
* TookALevelInKindness: After being called out by Adam Lambert for her poor attitude and snark when recording her track for the Girl Group challenge, she purposely tried to always smile and be pleasant with Ross Matthews acting as director in the next challenge, hoping to avoid a repeat critique.
* WhatTheHellHero: Gets called out by Shangela when the latter finds a hateful note left by Thorgy taped to her station. It wasn't so much that Trixie kept the note, but propped it up in a way as if she was proud that Thorgy had badmouthed Shangela. When Thorgy returns to the show during the Girl Group challenge she actually takes Shangela's side in this, stating that the note was meant to be private and Trixie should not have put it up where anyone could see it.

* BrilliantButLazy: As anyone who has seen her videos can attest, Jasmine is absolutely hysterical. However, she doesn't even bother to write down notes or practice for her stand-up routine during the Talent Show, instead deciding to wing it on the spot. Predictably, this fails and she bombs the challenge, leading to her elimination.
* BrutalHonesty: Infamous for her "I am Jasmine Masters, and I have something to say" videos in which she will go off on her drag sisters, non-Drag Race queens, and the show in general. She brings the same sort of no-nonsense to the show with her, although it doesn't help her when she attempts to use it for a stand-up routine in the talent show.
* FountainOfMemes[[invoked]]: Invoked that she is referred to as the "Meme Queen", thanks to her hilarious Vines and [=YouTube=] videos going viral.
* GracefulLoser: Despite being known as the "villain" of Season 7, she harbours no resentment for Trinity when she sends her packing twice, and she's very happy for the whole experience.
* NeverMyFault: In spite of bombing her stand-up routine, Jasmine is convinced the only reason she's in the bottom two was due to a slight stutter during her delivery, instead of the fact general consensus was that her comedy just wasn't funny.
* {{Squick}}[[invoked]]: The audience reaction to her stand-up routine, in which the majority of her comedy material centered around an ex-boyfriend whose [[YouNeedABreathMint breath smelled like a dirty asshole]].

----

* TheBurlesqueOfVenus: Literally. Since she's famous for using so much highlighter in her makeup, instead of a clamshell she emerges from a highlighter compact for her variety show strip-tease.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: When Gia tries to come for her about a drunken incident 6 months prior to the show, Farrah says point blank while Gia is trying to turn it into some big thing, for herself she hasn't even thought about over the past months.
* IronicEcho: When Valentina eliminates her, she jokingly uses her infamous line from the Season 9 reunion "You don't love me". Then as she is leaving and Gia tries once more to seem like she's consoling Farrah, Farrah replies with a "you ''actually'' don't love me".
* ThePratfall: During her burlesque number for the talent show, she slips on her costume and takes a hard fall to the floor. She's the third queen in history to take a fall on the runway, behind Akashia (Season 1) and Naysha Lopez (Season 8).
* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: In a Girl Group challenge with the likes of Monique, Monét, and Naomi she stands out for her unfortunate 'white girl dance moves'. One of the judges even say her performance was 'white bread'.
* ProneToTears: Enters the competition with confidence but the moment she takes a nasty tumble on the main stage in the first episode, she is trembling in tears in humiliation. Her fellow queens pretty much tell her she has to cut the cry-baby shtick fast or they'll eliminate her.
* RejectedApology: When Gia attempts to apologize for trying to rattle Farrah before the Girl Group performances, Farrah promptly shoots her down and accuses Gia of just trying to get more screentime through a fake apology.

----

* AesopAmnesia:
** Claims this is in effect when she realizes her constantly harassing and insulting the other girls comes from a place of insecurity from prior to her transition into a transgender woman.
** Comes to All Stars without a Snatch Game backup, this after her elimination in Season 6 came about for the exact same reason (In Season 6 she got spooked out of doing Selena and instead tries Kim Kardashian on the fly, while in All Stars she planned on doing Caitlyn Jenner, but when Trinity snatched that away from her she struggled to pull together a Jenny Bui, in spite of the fact she knew nothing about her).
* AlphaBitch: Gets called out by Manila for picking on Farrah, when Farrah seems to be the weakest link in the current cast. Manila says it's fierce if you're coming after the strongest competitor in the bunch, but when you're purposely picking on the weakest it just makes you look like a bully who can't stand up to the big dogs. She also gets called out by Trinity for just trying to stir the pot and cause drama, over actually trying to be talented.
* BadImpressionists: Her Jenny Bui impression in the Snatch Game of Love was criticized heavily, as she not only portrayed her as Japanese instead of Cambodian, but also as a massive AsianAirhead and very unfunny, along with causing Latrice to break character out of frustration. Unsurprisingly, Gia was eliminated that episode.
* BrutalHonesty: Gia has no qualms about hurting other people's feelings with her opinions, if she feels a certain way she will share it and not give a second thought about who gets upset about it.
* ChekhovsSkill: Finally got to perform a kabuki number, which she first talked about in her first appearance back in Season 6, during the Season's Variety Show.
* FunnyForeigner: Her interpretation of Instagram celebrity Jenny Bui, a fresh off the boat LiteralMinded AsianAirhead. Michelle Visage actually scolds Gia for insulting Jenny with this take on her, pointing out the real Jenny Bui has worked hard for everything she has, and even survived her village in Cambodia being ravaged by war.
* HistoryRepeats: She's the first, and for now only, queen who got sent home twice after a poor Snatch Game performance. Both of her interpretations included using the GagPenis trope as answers during the challenge.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Gets accused of this in regards to her confrontational attitude, in that she's trying to stage drama for screen-time. Really hammered in during deliberations in the second episode, when she insists on interrupting Farrah Moan's time to plead her case to give the latter a "genuine" apology. Trinity says pretty much straight Gia's just trying to make Farrah's time all about her.
* {{Jerkass}}: She was well-known for being a catty bitch in her season, but come All-stars, it’s apparent that she’s turned into a full-on ''hag'' with seemingly no redeeming features.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After practically harassing Latrice and Manila during Snatch Game of Love, she realizes that she's fallen into old habits and genuinely shows remorse over her actions. When she gets eliminated, she admits it's no one's fault but her own.
* RejectedApology: Tries to give what she claims is a genuine apology to Farrah for coming for her in the Werk Room, only for Farrah (and pretty much everyone else) to roll their eyes and call it out as a blatant grab for screentime.
* TookALevelInJerkass: While she would read a competitor to filth in Season 6, come All Stars she is almost constantly belittling or berating her fellow queens. After coming for Farrah one time too many come episode 2, she actually gets called out on her overly bitchy attitude.
* UnknownRival: Comes for Farrah hard out of seemingly no where because of an incident 6 months prior. Farrah even says she didn't even remember the incident in question and accuses Gia of faking drama for more camera time. Later, she seems to start coming for Latrice, but claims she did not mean to do so intentionally.
* WhatTheHellHero: Gets called out during Snatch Game of Love for not only insulting Latrice Royale for being overweight and manish, but also for doing her celebrity, Jenny Bui, a disservice by turning an courageous immigrant who survived a war into a AsianAirhead slut.

----

* ChallengeSeeker: When Manila attempts to negotiate an alliance in exchange for sparing Valentina from elimination, Valentina counters this with the fact while eliminating your fiercest competitors might make winning easier, it won't mean as much if you didn't succeed over queens you are threatened by; and challenges Manila to keep her specifically ''because'' she is a threat.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The other contestants describe her as delusional and in her own world. It's not clear whether this is a character she's putting on or if she's just a bit odd.
* TheFashionista: Delivers not only on the runway, but also in the Werk Room and confessional booth. While her competitors may dress down during their downtime before challenges, Valentina always makes sure to put on a performance. Sometimes verges on AwesomeButImpractical, considering she makes choices like wearing heels while painting walls for the club challenge.
* MyGreatestFailure: The notorious maskgate. Valentina is aware she is best remembered for not knowing the words and bombing her first and only lip sync in her original season. This leads to...
* MyGreatestSecondChance: While this trope applies to some extent to every contestant in all stars, Valentina’s deserves special mention. Not only does she lip sync well for her talent show but come the second episode she delivers a stunning lip sync (to an Ariana Grande song no less!) and even defeats one of the lip sync assassins of season ten. In her own words, Valentina has redeemed herself.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Self-invoked when she discussed how half the audience recognizes her as Miss Congeniality, while the other half see her as a snake. Valentina claims she is quite comfortably both and can be either nice or nasty depending on the situation.
* {{Telenovela}}: Present during her original season but turned UpToEleven in All Stars, she is constantly likened to a Telenovela in the Werk Room, during rehearsals, and during critiques.

->'''Real Name''': Karl Westerberg
->'''Original Appearances''': Season 3 (2nd), All Stars 1 (8th=)

-> "Correction Ru, you are and will always be a double All-Star!"
----

* AFriendInNeed: During the Snatch Game of Love, Manila realizes that Gia has made Latrice lose her patience and fall completely out character, miserably begging Ru to intervene. Manila makes it a point to refer to Latrice as Della in order to save her performance. This is not a coincidence since Manila is aware of Latrice’s previous experience in Season 4 and the All Stars 1 Gaff in, where their joint performance landed their team in the bottom. It could be argued Manila is also trying to help her friend Gia from making a “Big Fool” our of herself.
* TheAce: The queen with the most Drag Race experience. She is the second queen in the franchise to win a cumulative of seven challenges, after [=BenDeLaCreme=] (and later followed by Trinity the Tuck). She is the first and only queen to win two challenges in a row in two separate seasons. She is also the first and only queen to have won a very first challenge, a Snatch Game, a makeover, and a ball.
* AllTheOtherReindeer: Without a hint of pretense. After Latrice’s elimination and the revelation of Monét’s lipstick, the five remaining queens join hands and stare Manila down. It makes sense, since Trinity and Valentina have been in an alliance since day one and Monique, Monét, and Naomi formed another. Manila is alone.
* AsianAndNerdy: She’s meticulous about her runways and her references sometimes go over the heads of the other queens and the judges.
* AsideGlance: Prone to these during confessionals more so than in the Werk room, but not by much.
* TheAtoner: Has shades of this, since in season 3 she was a bully and in All Stars 1 her ItsAllAboutMe attitude was blamed for the demise of team Latrila.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: When asked in her Meet the Queens interview whether she felt capable in sending Latrice Royale home, Manila answered confidently that she had already done it in All Stars 1. Come the fourth episode of All Stars 4...
* BigBrotherInstinct: Toward Gia. Possibly because they are both Asian queens, but explicitly because Manila sees some of herself in Gia, since Manila admits she was a bully in her original season. When Gia is up for elimination, Manila comforts her and pleads that a second chance might be the wakeup call Gia needs for her bad attitude. After Gia’s elimination, Manila plays this role toward Naomi.
* BoringButPractical: Her use of wedged shoes for the girl group challenge does not fly with Michelle Visage.
* BoundAndGagged: PlayedForLaughs with her bondage bunny runway.
* BrokenTears: Heartbreakingly so, first when Monique is declared the winner of the lip sync and then fully when she eliminates Latrice.
* TheBully: Manila averts the trope this season but recognizes she played it in season 3 and, in her own words, it did not work out for her.
* TheBusCameBack: Returns along with former teammate Latrice Royale to compete on the show again as individuals.
* CallBack: Many, both overt and subtle. Her entrance look doubles as her loss both in all stars 1 and season 3. Her bunny runway for episode 3 alludes to her carrot cake runway from season 3.
* {{Camp}}: Manila’s drag aesthetic tends to involve fashionable silhouettes but ''very'' camp sensibilities.
* ChekhovsSkill: While most queens discuss their talent for the show in the werk room, Manila’s painting comes as a complete surprise. Though her promo look has her wearing a dress of paint and paintbrushes as hair decorations.
* CostumePorn: A dress shaped like a designer purse, a dress shaped like the table from ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'', a dress shaped like a [[NoPeriodsPeriod lady’s unmentionable...]]
* CovertPervert: Relatively speaking for Drag Queen, but when Rupaul dismisses the queens for deliberation so the judges can watch the Snatchelor guest judges wrestle, Manila asks to skip deliberations.
* TheDandy: Nowhere near as overtly as Valentina. But in the werk room Manila wears various and meticulously styled suits.
* DeadpanSnarker: Effortlessly delivers what Naomi Smalls calls “two for one” reads.
* EccentricArtist: A recurring motif. Her promo look is a melting palette, her talent for the show is upside-down painting, and she does shout-outs for artists Bob Ross and Tom of Finland. Her runway looks (such as the Rococo and Baroque runways) also invoke some of this.
* ElegantGothicLolita: Her curves and swerves look fits the image given the improbable frills, the doll like proportions, and the clashing colors, but follows French court styles rather than Victorian or Gothic (except for the hair).
* ExecutiveMeddling: Both Rupaul and Production vetoed her original Padded to the Gods look due to it being based on a [[NoPeriodsPeriod period pad]], complete with a streak of blood coming off of it. Manila was hoping to show that such a bodily function was normal on the show, but had to settle for revealing it on instagram instead.
* TheFashionista: On and off the runway, in and out of drag, Manila’s looks combine both subtle and bold references to artists, historical periods, and fashion movements. All are instantly recognizable as her aesthetic.
* GenreSavvy: In something of a callback to Bianca del Rio calling prison the only thing worse than drag race, Manila realizes that Gia’s picking on Farrah, the weakest of the bunch, makes Gia look like a bully and that if she wanted to appear strong she should take out the strongest of the pack.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Monique puts Manila last on the roast lineup explicitly because she has been doing well in the comedy challenges and the pressure to end the show on bang is the highest (with the hope that Manila will bomb and land in the bottom). In the end, Manila wins the challenge and Monique ends up in the bottom.
* HappilyMarried: Speaks of this during the Snatch Game of Love, and how strange it is to play a single in a dating show.
* HeroicVow: Upon return to the competition, Team Latrila officially and literally breaks apart, and the two compete as individuals. But once Latrice is up for elimination, Manila admits they are still a team and she vows to save Latrice.
* HisStoryRepeatsItself: Manila is unable to win a lip sync and save Latrice from elimination. UpToEleven, since this is not even the second time she sends a close, BigBeautifulWoman home after losing a comedy challenge.
* InformedAttribute: Her singing ability. Despite having released successful music videos, she delivers a mediocre performance during the girl group challenge, to the surprise of her collaborator, Latrice Royale.
* TheLostLenore: Her late partner, Sahara Davenport. During the roast challenge, Manila admits that she still misses her.
* MeaningfulAppearance: For her promo look Manila wears what appears to be chopsticks but are actually paintbrushes. These foreshadow her talent for the variety show.
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Her roast of Lady Bunny begins with, "Dearly beloved...and Michelle Visage..."
* MyGreatestFailure: Her failure to win the lip sync against Monique gets Latrice sent home.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: Third actually, but she invokes this trope with Latrice, since they realize this is probably the last time they will ever compete in Drag Race.
* NiceGuy: Manila is one of the least shady queens this season and instead acts supportive and encouraging to her competitors.
* NoPeriodsPeriod: Enforced. Her original look for the Curves and Swerves, Padded to the Gods runway was a visibly used Maxi Pad. Though meant to be empowering, the production vetoed it.
* OddFriendship: With Gia Gunn and Latrice Royale. Gia could not have a more different attitude and personality but Manila behaves cordially to her and even attempts to become closer. Outside the show, Gia has least amount of negative comments for Manila. With Latrice Royale, Manila bonds as former All Stars competitors, competitors from early seasons, HappilyMarried queens, and old professionals.
* OldSoldier: Deconstructed. One the one hand, young queens such as Naomi and Monét express awe at sharing the stage with a legend from the early years. On the other hand, Manila is painfully aware that both drag in general and Drag Race specifically have advanced so much since her season that she feels like an out-of-place relic of the past, especially against more contemporary, avant-garde queens like Valentina.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: She doesn’t perform poorly in the girl group challenge, but compared to teammates Trinity, Latrice, and (especially) Valentina, she lands on the bottom.
* TheRival: Slowly building up to this toward Valentina, but hinted from the beginning when Valentina asks her, “Who’s the Booger now, bitch?”
* SadisticChoice: After winning the Snatch Game of Love, she's tasked with the difficult decision of making the safe choice of eliminating Gia Gunn, who was the weak link of the group and least threatening, or taking a huge risk and eliminating Valentina, who not only is a fan favorite, but would cause a sudden shift in the dynamic of all future eliminations. Averted during the second elimination since Manila does not hesitate to save Latrice and eliminate Monét. Played straight again when she has to choose between ‘four’ queens whom to eliminate.
* ShoutOut: Her look for the talent show and the talent itself is one to artist Bob Ross, complete with an Afro. Her bondage bunny look is one for artist Tom of Finland (and Bugs Bunny!). Her Lalaparuza runway is one to ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp''.
* SophisticatedAsHell: For the talent show, not only does she paint a lovely still life, which no contestant has ever done on the main stage, but she does so to the tune of "In the Hall of the Mountain King"! For the roast challenge she does back-to-back looks based on Theatre/Carmen and a Baroque painting.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Latrice.
* WhoopeeCushion: Actually a whoopee breastplate. When Manila embraces Monét for deliberations, the latter’s breastplate breaks wind. It makes then both laugh during an incredibly tense and unpleasant situation.
* WildCard: How the other queens feel about Manila’s elimination choices.

-> "I'm the large, in charge, chunky and funky, Latrice motherfucking Royale."
----

* AscendedMeme: "All-Stars Season 1 Doesn't Count"; many fans joked that the first season of All Stars didn't count since the teams gimmick was so disliked, with Latrice seeming to take that as gospel as she argues against the notion she's already had two chances for the crown that she's really only had one.
* {{Acrofatic}}: Her glorious frame doesn't impede her in the slightest and she delivers a showstopping color guard performance for her Talent Show performance.
* BigFun: Is generally cheerful, there's not really a single queen who doesn't have massive respect for Latrice.
* TheBusCameBack: Returns along with former teammate Manila Luzon to compete on the show as individuals.
* DudeNotFunny: Her reaction to Gia's "romper room fuckery" in the Snatch Game of Love, in which she outright insulted Latrice's weight, and called her a man in a dress.
* HappilyMarried: Brought up in the third episode; although recorded prior to her fabulous wedding, Latrice speaks about how wonderful it is having someone always there for her, and how incredible it is that she can actually have a wedding after so much struggle with gays just getting the right to do so.
* HistoryRepeats: Once again, Latrice doesn't get to put on a performance during Snatch Game because she gets fed up with another queen's antics and unprofessional behaviour, in this case Gia's.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: Third actually, but she invokes this trope with Manila since they realize this is probably the last time they will ever compete in Drag Race. Though she also doesn't count All Stars 1 as a competition since the show was such a mess.
* NeverMyFault: She pins her lukewarm ''Snatch Game'' performance on Gia Gunn, once again ranting about "romper room fuckery," but this time it's more clear that improv simply isn't her strong suit.
* SpectacularSpinning: Perform a color guard flag twirling at the Talent Show.
* WhatTheHellHero: As beloved as she may well be, Latrice exhibits a previously unseen level of entitlement when feeling under threat in this series, often coming across as downright deluded and (somewhat shockingly for her long-term fans) ''unlikeable'' in the episodes leading to her elimination.

----

* AnimalMotifs: Her look in the first challenge pays homage to her mix-up in season 10, mistaking giraffe print for brown cow. Since then the phrase "Brown Cow Stunning" has become part of her brand.
* CatchPhrase: In addition to bringing back "Facts are facts" and "[[BorrowedCatchPhrase Reclaiming my time]]!", Monique is touting "Brown cow stunning" and the truncated "Stunning!" quite heavily this season (complete with a set of STUN/NING studded rings in the confessionals to punctuate her use of the phrase).
* FountainOfMemes[[invoked]]: Self-appointed as the "Meme Queen" of Season 10, and makes good on that claim by running through about every CatchPhrase in her repertoire within the first 30 seconds of entering the Werk Room.
* RunningGag: Her wig coming off. Just like the lip-sync for your life which she lost in Season 10, during the first lip-sync for your legacy of this season her wig comes undone and she sends it flying in the studio rafters. It starts to slide off again during the ninth episode challenge.
* TookALevelInBadass: Just like Monét, she had no wins in Season 10, but here she makes up by winning three challenges and reaching the finale.

* ArtEvolution: Gets positively called out in the second episode for not only killing it during the challenge, but elevating her runways into pure glamour. Ross Matthews says outright Monét is finally serving the level of polish that she just didn't have available to her in Season 10.
* {{Corpsing}}: Her spot-on Roast of Lady Bunny provokes this on Lady Bunny herself, who is appropriately playing dead.
* OverusedRunningGag: Finally gets told by the judges that the "Sponge Queen" running gag has run its course and that she needs to bring something new to the main stage and stop relying on tired memes from the past seasons.
* TookALevelInBadass: Despite reaching sixth place in Season 10 she had no wins under her belt. Here, she brings home three challenges, showcases several bold and elegant looks and makes the top 4. [[spoiler:And then she wins the whole season alongside Trinity.]]
* TheUnreveal: In the final lip sync she wears a blonde pussycat wig, but partway through she tears it off to reveal...''another identical pussycat wig''.

* OhCrap: Has this reaction when both Naomi and Monet choose to send Manila home despite her having the best track record in the competition so far, since she has the second best and fears she could be next.
* RedheadInGreen: Her entrance look was a homage to Creator/SarahPaulson's [[https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/newpix/2018/06/06/13/4CF48BE100000578-5811743-Sartorial_shambles_Sarah_Paulson_was_among_the_stars_competing_f-a-5_1528288092461.jpg look]] for the ''Film/OceansEight'' premiere.

** For the lip-sync for your legacy against Latrice in episode 7, she puts on a bloated old woman-suit, with pale skin, painted visible ribs and saggy tits. This proves too much {{Squick}}, however, and Latrice wins the lip-sync instead.

-> "Ooh, I did it again!"
----

* BadImpressionists: In an attempt to prove she's more than just a Britney Spears impersonator, she attempts to impersonate fifteen celebrities at once. The end result was bizzare, awkward, unfunny and it overall landed her in the bottom, where she was eliminated.
* BeYourself: This is Derrick's greatest struggle in the competition, and something she failed at prior to her elimination; giving the audience "Derrick" and not "Britney". When she returns for the finale and wears a beautiful gown, Ongina and the other queens all praise Derrick for finally giving a look that is quintessential "Derrick Barry", and not feeling like a "Britney Spears" look at all.
* CelebrityImpersonator: Derrick attempts to play with this to showcase that she's more than just a Britney impersonator, and in her talent show she attempts to do ''fifteen'' impersonations in a minute. It's more bewildering and awkward than funny, and she winds up going home first.
* GenreSavvy / LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Is the first eliminated, but as she leaves she outright tells the other queens not to miss her because she already knows she's going to be brought back for another episode for a chance to return to the competition, just like they do every All-Stars season. Ironically for Derrick, her season of All Stars was the only one since the first to ''[[WrongGenreSavvy not]]'' have a returning queen re-enter the competition, but she did come back as a guest in the finale.
* MortonsFork: Points out after being read that her Talent Show look was serving too much Britney Spears when she claimed she wanted to prove she could do more than Britney, that no matter what she wore (even going down the line and directly referencing the other queen's outfits) that she would just be told she was referencing a different Britney look.
* TheRival: With India Ferrah, Derrick's version of the story is that India got fired from the Piranha Nightclub, and when Nebraska (Derrick's throuple boyfriend) was hired to take her place, India bashed Nebraska online calling her a "pig in a wig".
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Derrick returned hoping to show everyone she could do more than just Britney Spears … unfortunately all she had the opportunity to show was a Britney-style entrance, and fifteen other lackluster celebrity impersonations on stage before being eliminated.

* CallBack: Her entrance line is a reference to her guest appearance in All Stars 1, where she (and Delta Work) drove the top four queens around LA.
* HeroicBSOD: After Miz Cracker tells her she should have been in the bottom 2 for the first challenge, she loses whatever confidence she has left when she hits the bottom 3 in the next challenge. She outright tells the girls to send her home because it wouldn't be fair to keep her there over India or Mariah.
* HonorBeforeReason: After hitting the bottom two weeks in a row, she tells the other queens that she should be the one to be sent home, that keeping her over queens who have statistically done better would be unfair, and even chooses her own lipstick for the group vote.
* ShrinkingViolet: After so many years trying to get onto All Stars, actually making it onto the show rattles her nerves pretty badly. In the first episode she completely fails the Reading Mini-challenge, and then lands in the bottom three during the Talent Show Maxi-challenge due to getting too nervous and in her own head. Some of the queens (especially Miz Cracker) even claim she should have been up for elimination for the poor showing.

* AnAesop: For her Talent Show performance, Mariah delivers a powerful spoken word piece about gay rights and racial segregation, and the "stains on the walls" left behind by those who have fought and died for those causes. Even though she was only Safe for the challenge, guest judge Ricky Martin personally commended her on delivering such as important and beautiful message.
* CallBack: After her elimination, she acts exasperated in her talking head and grabs her fanny pack so she can storm out. This mirrors her reaction to Manila's iconic pineapple dress in Season 3 when she also grabs her purse before storming out in disbelief.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Says this was her downfall in Season 3, as at that time she was only a Ballroom Queen who had never performed in a club or bar before, but since being on Drag Race she has become a well-rounded queen.

* AscendedMeme: At the start of her Talent Show number, she spends the intro of her song doing EyeTake to the beat, referencing the #[=ChallengeMayhem=] meme.
* CantTakeCriticism: When she's critiqued for her Camo Runway being uninspired, she decides after playing it nice for so long she's going to snap back at the judges. She brushes it off onstage saying she was "just kiki-ing", but admits after her elimination she was angry about being in the bottom and wanted the judges to know it.
* HonorBeforeReason: Chooses herself for elimination because she felt her challenge partner, India, was just as strong as she was. India, however, did not share the same sense of fairness and picked Mayhem's lipstick for the group vote.
* SomethingSomethingLeonardBernstein: Mayhem isn't lip syncing in her dance number in the Talent Show; it's all live. As a result, some of her lyrics come out garbled and mushmouthed. It puts her in the bottom.
* WhatTheHellHero: The other queens were upset to learn that Mayhem had chose her own lipstick for elimination, and begrudge her for even agreeing to join the season if she was just going to tap out. Interestingly, they did not have the same guttural reaction to Ongina doing the same, but that may have been because Ongina already announced she was ready to go before voting, where with Miller there was really no indication she was going to vote for herself.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Considers it a no-brainer that the other girls will vote for Shea when she lands in the bottom, such that she doesn't even consult with them and ends up with egg on her face when the votes are counted. While eliminating the strongest competitor is absolutely a valid strategy on pretty much any other competitive reality show, ''All Stars'' has its own house rules, and the majority of the girls elect to "play fair" and vote based on critiques and track record. One wonders what Mayhem was thinking, especially because just last season, when Naomi sent Manila home and openly admitted it was because she was her biggest competition, she faced a lot of criticism for it.

->'''Real Name''': Shane Richardson
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 3 (10th)

-> "India 2.0 here. Remodeled, remastered, and ready for action!"
----

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: India's dancing and intense hair-flipping in the Talent Show blows the judges away, and she wins the challenge in a comeback few could've anticipated. Before she can get too big a head about it, the first lip sync assassin is revealed - ''Yvie Oddly.'' Not for lack of trying, but India simply cannot compete with Yvie's sheer level of spectacle.
* DeathbedConfession: When she realizes she is most likely going to be eliminated for her poor Snatch Game, India decides she has to relieve her guilt over the fact Alexis and Mayhem had tried to conspire with her to vote Shea off the show. India claims she just wanted to be able to leave the show without this weighing on her, although other queens think she was just trying to throw Alexis under the bus to save herself from elimination for another week.
* FlippantForgiveness: When she returns in the finale and Mayhem and Alexis are able to both confirm they did not campaign with India against Shea, India decides to apologize for hurting Alexis "even though she wasn't lying" about her accusations. Alexis is quick to call India out in the confessionals that she doesn't feel India is offering a genuine apology, but decides to accept it anyway because she understands the competition can bring the worst out in people.
* TenMinuteRetirement: Discussed on the main stage how she quit drag for a time after Season 3 because the show had, in her opinion, "taken the fun out of drag".
* DressesTheSame: Hilariously for the second time in a row India enters the workroom wearing an outfit noticeably similar to another queen, this time both her and Miz Cracker wearing mint green. This after, in Season 3, India and Phoenix both entered the show wearing black leather and a black and blond razor-cut wig.
* GracefulLoser: After her elimination she goes at length about how proud she is about her substantial growth from Season 3, and how happy she is that she has finally been able to show the audience so many more facets about her characters asides from being 'that bitch Mimi Imfurst picked up'.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Discusses how after Season 3 the only thing she is known for is being picked up by Mimi Imfurst.
* RecursiveCrossdressing: Plays Jeffree Star for the Snatch Game of Love.
* TheRival: With Derrick Barry. India's version of the story is that she quit the Piranha Nightclub and Derrick's throuple boyfriend, Nebraska, was hired and performed a derogatory routine on stage mocking India's drag career.

-> "''Boricua'' in the house to take the crown! ''Sickening, no?''"
----

* AppearanceAngst / WeightWoe: Is very aware of the fact it has been nearly ten years since Season 3, and she is a lot older and heavier than she was in her prime. She outright admits the younger, hungrier queens scare her a little bit.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: She's beyond excited to meet Music/RickyMartin, a fellow gay Puerto Rican, and she's proud to present her salsa talent show number on stage in front of him.
* ManipulativeBitch: Seems to be getting the edit for this season; she is quick to shut down Cracker who feels bad for telling Ongina she should have in the bottom for the talent show, and then attacks Cracker again by eavesdropping into her conversation and twisting her words around to make it seem like Cracker did not respect her, some of the queens noting it seems Alexis is trying to put her competition on edge. Later when Shea was up for elimination, Alexis picked her lipstick even though Shea had a better track record than both India and Mariah, and continued to be playfully snide to Shea during the next challenge. Shea and Blair both discuss how they don't know if Alexis is being genuine, or trying to use strategy.
** This ends up coming back to haunt her in Episode 5 when, after realizing she was probably going to be eliminated, India reveals Alexis and Mayhem had campaigned to team up and vote out Shea. While no one is certain who is telling the truth, specifically ''because'' Alexis has acted manipulative in the past most of the cast are at least willing to accept it as a possibility.
* RecursiveCrossdressing: Portrays Walter Mercado in the Snatch Game of Love.
* SpicyLatina: While in Season 3 she claimed to want to try and distance herself as being seen as a Latina stereotype, come All-Stars she fully embraces her heritage. She enters the workroom in a Puerto Rican flag bodysuit, performs a spicy salsa lip-sync for the Talent Show, and is outspoken about wanting to be All-Star's first Latina winner.
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Hilariously enough, both Alexis and Widow Von'Du coined the term "apolo-lie", despite their respective seasons being filmed months apart and neither of them interacting with each other at all.
* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: Her entrance look includes a Puerto Rican flag leotard.
* WhatTheHellHero: Is understandably upset when India threw her under the bus for conspiring to get rid of Shea, something Alexis denies doing. She says the competition brings out the worst in queens, and that she saw India's inner demons from her thinly-veiled attempt to avoid elimination for another week.

->'''Real Name''': Andrew Bryson
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 10 (9th)

-> "Well, I do declare... Blair St. Clair's all grown up now, bitches."
----

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: At 24, she is the youngest queen this season, and also the only one this season who isn't in their 30s.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: More like Borrowed Phrase Catch: she re-purposes Ru's "Blair St. Clair, I do declare!" for her intro.
* EpicFail: Bombs the stand-up challenge fairly badly, being the only challenge Blair really tripped up so much with. Unfortunately being the second-to-last challenge, it ended up with her elimination.
* HotterAndSexier: On Season 10, Blair's style of drag was very cutesy and sweet. This time around, she makes an effort to show a bolder, sexier side of her.
* ShesAllGrownUp: She uses this trope by name in her entrance line.
* TookALevelInBadass: Back in Season 10 Blair was unceremoniously eliminated fairly early in the competition, come All Stars 5, she makes it to the top four and shows growth and talent that impresses all of her competitors.

->'''Real Name''': Airline Inthyrath
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 2 (3rd), All Stars 1 (4th=)

-> "Third time's the charm!"
----

* BrokenWinLossStreak: After competing in ''eighteen'' previous episodes across three seasons, episode 3 marks the first time Jujubee has ''ever'' won a challenge... and the first time she's ever lost a lip sync [[note]] One could make the semantic argument that since it was a Lip Sync for Her Legacy, she's still won every Lip Sync for Her ''Life''... [[/note]].
* CrazyCatLady: Jujubee is ''obsessed'' with her cats, to the point it is something all she talks about in confessionals when she is supposed to be talking about something else (like the eliminations or challenges). She even claims if she won All Stars she would use the $100,000 to turn her home into a cat sanctuary filled to wall to wall with cats!
* LiteralMinded: She portrays Creator/EarthaKitt as this in the Snatch Game of Love, to hilarious results:
-->'''Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman''': I'm originally from Canada, so if we went up there for a winter visit, how would you keep me warm at night?
-->'''Jujubee!Eartha Kitt''': I would sensually walk to the thermostat, and turn up the thermostat to a sensible 74.
* MrViceGuy: Many fans will remember Jujubee being a lush in Season 2, there even being jokes that she was the sole cause for why production is a lot more strict in how many drinks they allow the queens to have. However, Jujubee admits that she has been struggling to stay sober since then as she realized her drinking was hurting herself, even breaking down in tears as she says the stress of the competition makes lapsing back into old habits look very appealing.
* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: As longtime fans know (and as she'll proudly remind you) Jujubee is the ''original'' lip sync assassin, famously getting to the top 3 in season 2, and the final four in All Stars 1, having never lost a lipsync, and providing some all-time classic performances in the process. In episode 3, she's tasked with going head-to-head with Monet X Change (to Music/{{Lizzo}}'s "Juice"), a formidable opponent in her own right. Surprisingly, Juju gives an uncharacteristically lackluster performance, and suffers her first loss.
* StillGotIt: Jujubee was part of the very first reading challenge, back in season 2, which she won. Ten years on, and Juju will still read you to ''filth,'' and she wins the reading challenge once again (tied with Blair).
-->'''Jujubee:''' Mayhem ''Filler''. Sorry. I'm sorry. I meant ''"meh"''-hem Miller.
* TearsOfRemorse: Breaks down sobbing after the Survivor-style elimination in the penultimate episode, when she realizes that picking Blair's lipstick makes her majority responsible for the vote (along with Shea) should the group vote be used. She said seeing Blair so afraid she wanted to give her a hug, but just couldn't since she knew she was eliminating her and couldn't be that fake and shady to someone she respected.

->'''Real Name''': Maxwell Heller
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 10 (5th)

-> "Aaaand Crack-tion!"
----

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Admits she has not made a friend in years, due to people being turned off by her loud personality. Realizes having no friends in the competition puts a big target on her back should she ever be up for elimination.
* BerserkButton: Being called "Difficult" to work with.
* ControlFreak: Her teammates for the "I'm in Love" challenge bristled at her perceived micromanagement.
* DressesTheSame: With India, while the cut of their dresses are very different, both of them enter the workroom wearing almost the exact same shade of mint green. This of course is doubly hilarious as this was India's second time entering the show wearing an outfit similar to another queen.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: Wins the ball challenge but loses the lip sync against Roxxxy Andrews and the potential $10,000 tip that week. The following week, Cracker wins the stand-up challenge and even points out she's getting a second chance at double the tip, winning her redemption lip sync against Kennedy.
* NeverMyFault: Is upset when several people tell her she is "difficult" to work with, trying to enforce that she is a nice person and gets upset when everyone tells her she is difficult. The other queens point out if ''everyone'' is saying she is difficult, then maybe everyone else isn't the problem.
* ThePerfectionist: Admits this was her downfall in Season 10, and despite planinng on trying to relax and have more fun for her run on All-Stars, she starts getting in her head again.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: While she is thrilled to have won the Stand-Up Challenge, she expresses her worry about having to lip sync to "Fancy" by Music/RebaMcEntire, which she claims contains about every word in the English language!

->'''Real Name''': Jaren Shea
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 9 (3rd=)

-> "I'm... black!"
----

* BeehiveHairdo: Shea rocked a beehive several times on the runway, even during her finale look (which was purposeful as she was recreating her mother's prom photo).
* BoringButPractical: The judges reaction to her "Freaky" runway in which Shea wears a leotard, harness, and ten-inch heels. They agree it fits the baseline of what the runway required, but compared to the other girls, and what they already know Shea is capable of, it just seemed kind of lacking.
* BreakTheHaughty: Likens this back to her run on Season 9, come the finale she was, in her own words, "''really'' confident" about winning … until Sasha Velour took off her wig, and Shea could see her dreams shattering as the rose petals hit the floor.
** She starts the season very strong, winning episode 2 and expecting to breeze through the rest of the challenges... only to end up in the bottom in the very next week.
* DisappearedDad: This was touched on during Season 9 but Shea was not really ready to discuss it then, but right before her season started airing her father died. [[FromBadToWorse If that wasn't tragic enough]], about a month later her sister also passed away, the two of them having been Shea's biggest supporters in her life and career. It really sheds light on why Shea seemed to distracted at the Season 9 finale.
* DudeNotFunny: Talks about how since her loss on Season 9, even genuine fans love to harass her with rose petals. She puts on a brave face, but says its gotten old.
* FamilyFriendlyStripper: Shea works (and we mean ''works'') a stripper pole for the talent show. She doesn't strip, but the Pit Crew toss (fake) money at her anyway.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: Was the favorite to win Season 9 but lost to Sasha Velour, but wins All Stars 5. Even the other queens from the first episode treated this season as Shea's to lose.
* RecursiveCrossdressing: She portrays Flavor Flav for the Snatch Game of Love (and wins!).
* RunningGag: Shea bringing up the fact she is triggered by rose petals, due to her loss in Season 9 thanks to Sasha Velour's iconic Lip Sync.
* ShoutOut: Her "Prom" runway is a take on ''Literature/{{Carrie}}'', with Sasha Velour's rose petals instead of blood.
* UnfinishedUntestedUsedAnyway: For her pole dancing routine, Shea admits that the Talent Show was the first time she had ever worked the pole for a number. She reveals that she learned how to pole dance in just ten days to perform on the show because she always felt her character of Shea Couleé was secretly a stripper.

->'''Real Name''': Myron Morgan
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 5 (13th)

->"Representing Panama, it's Serena Cha Cha ... Olé!"
----
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: From the moment Ra'jah reacts to Serena's entrance with befuddlement, it's clear Serena has an uphill battle winning over the other queens. She never really does - she's almost unanimously voted out in the first episode, even over Trinity's embarrassing stumble in her stand-up comedy routine.
* BilingualBonus: When she pleads her case to Yara in the first episode, they briefly start talking in their native Spanish.
* ButtMonkey: Along with Pandora Boxx, Serena is arguably this for the entire franchise, though for polar opposite reasons. While Pandora compete for weeks and narrowly missed wins, Serena spend all three of her total episodes up for elimination and with most of the cast actively rooting for her elimination. In All Stars, all the queens voted against her, with the exception of top all star Yara, who picks Trinity’s lipstick for the expresses reason that Yara considers her (and not Serena) competition. To add insult to injury…
* {{Irony}}: The lip sync assassin who eliminates Serena is Coco Montrese who once famously told her to chacha her way out of the competition.
* TookALevelInKindness: Serena was infamous on her original season for her elitist attitude, which she has no trace of here. Instead, she's humble and forthright of how out of her depth she was back then.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Serena was eliminated episode 2 of her original season, and the first episode of this season, so the audience really doesn't get to know much about her other than she is very talented at doing wigs. Even though she does technically return in Episode 10 for the "game within a game" redemption; she is immediately re-eliminated by Jiggly Caliente. [[note]]As of her elimination, Serena is the All-Star (and the queen in general) to compete in the fewest episodes across two seasons (three, not including the "game within a game"), beating Mimi Imfurst's, Tammie Brown's and Jasmine Masters' four.[[/note]]

->"Well mother did say 'may the best ''woman'' win'!"
----
* AchillesHeel: The one thing Jiggly just cannot do is costume construction. Back in Season 4 she failed both construction challenges (Apocalypse and Float Your Boat, respectfully), and ends up getting eliminated this season for the same thing during the Blue Ball with her party dress made out of a blue blanket and rhinestones.
* AintTooProudToBeg: Parodied during her one-on-one with Ra'Jah after the latter wins the ''Blue Ball'', in which she jokingly offers Ra'Jah her loyalty... or her Netflix password, if she keeps her in the competition.
* DiscreditedMeme[[invoked]]: Played with; while she acknowledges the "May I call you Jiggly?" meme sensation, she does attest that fans need to know there are times when it is inappropriate ... such as 7 a.m. on a cruise ship.
* DressesTheSame: When facing off again Silky during the lip-synch extravaganza both of them end up wearing leopard-print.
-->'''Jiggly:''' Two fat bitches in fucking leopard print, I can't! How did this happen?!
* HardWorkHardlyWorks: As pointed out by Trinity after her elimination; Jiggly worked hard from start to finish for her subpar Blue Ball outfit, while Yara made hers at the last minute. However, when it came down to choosing lipsticks nearly everyone picked Jiggly as Yara just had a better track record thus far in the competition.
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Both herself and Kylie use a BorrowedCatchphrase retired by [=RuPaul=] for being insensitive to the transgender community repurposed to be a positive transgender message for themselves as their entrance quote.

->"Season 11, I came for the lunch; All-Stars 6, I'm coming for the dinner; look out bitch, [[TemptingFate I am your winner!]]"
----

* ADayInTheLimelight: Episode 10 most certainly is this, what with Silky dominating the "game within a game" Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown from week 3 all the way to week 9 when she faces off against Eureka!, she even performs a week she didn't have to just because she wanted to show what she could do.
* BadassBoast: During the "game within a game" Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown, when Pandora claims she'll beat Silky, her answer is this:
-->"That's what the last five bitches said."
* TheDeterminator: Silky went out third, but come the "game within a game" she proves her statement that if given a second chance she would fight to be very accurate. She lip synchs every week with everything she's got, surviving ''seven'' weeks into the redemption right up until the finale against Eureka!
* DressesTheSame: When facing off again Jiggly during the Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown both of them end up wearing leopard-print.
* GospelMusic: Silky's talent show performance is her singing "This Little Light Of Mine" in this style, and she gets everyone to clap along and everything. Somehow, it just doesn't hit the heights Silky wants it to (not helped by Silky oversinging ''just'' a tad) and she narrowly escapes the bottom two.
* GracefulLoser: After her second elimination at the hands of Eureka! in the Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown Silky is proud of what she's accomplished, that she got to fight for several more weeks even though she was eliminated third, and even cracks Ru up by making a spetacle of her leaving the stage in typical Silky fashion showing there were no hard feelings.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Of the Game within a Game.
* HumblePie: Silky reveals she was devastated by the fan hate from Season 11, and promised to come back to All-Stars a softer Silky. Backfires HARD in episode 3 and leads to her elimination.
* IncomingHam: It's ''Silky,'' are you surprised? As if her little entrance poem (quoted above), with a cookie and a glass of milk [[VictoriasSecretCompartment hidden in her chest,]] didn't go big enough, there's one of her entrances during the lipsync smackdown in episode 10. Scarlet Envy stands on stage, waiting for the curtain to come up and reveal her opponent... only for Silky to get impatient, stick her head down under the halfway-up curtain, and yell:
-->'''Silky:''' YEAH IT'S ME, ''[[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch BITCH!!!]]''
* InsultComic: Silky can trash-talk with the best of them when she's really feeling her oats - she may have missed her calling as a [[TheRoast roaster.]] She shit-talks her Lip-Sync Smackdown opponents one after the other with a cool, confident veneer, right before sending them home for good.
-->'''Jan:''' Silk, Silk, with the good milk!
-->'''Silky:''' Jan, Jan, she's a man! ''[the judges cackle, while Jan looks '''pressed''']''
* JustForFun: For her fifth straight week as the Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown assassin, she actually gets a free pass since A'keria decided not to accept the invitation to return. However, Silky decides she wants to perform by herself anyway just because she wanted to, and delivers a hilarious routine with her painted half boy/half queen to "Barbie Girl" by {{Music/Aqua}}.
* MommasBoy: Silky dedicates her final lipsync performance during the "game within a game" extravaganza to her mother.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: During Season 11 Silky touted her lip sync skills loud, proud, and often ... only to end up getting the infamous "meh" from Ru when she faced off against Nina West. Come this season for the "game within a game" redemption in spite of going home third, Silky powers through ''five'' separate lip syncs and makes it to the final show-down against Eureka! to return to the competition, even choosing to lip sync by herself one week when she didn't even need to just to prove she could. While she didn't return to the competition, at least she went out fighting.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: She promises to be a team player this time around, but ends up getting lost in her group's commercial and doesn't give it her all. It leads to her elimination.
* RapunzelHair: For her entrance look she wears a wig with a bubble ponytail similar to her Season 11 promo look ... only this one being ''several feet long!''
* RedBaron: Gives herself one during the Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown: she isn't just the lipsync assassin, she's the "lipsync ''guru.''" Taken UpToEleven in her final showdown with Eureka!:
-->'''Silky:''' I am the lipsync battle royale, extravaganza, dragapalooza, Black Lives Matter, Black excellence queen. Now get into that, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch.]]
* RunTheGauntlet: What she does in the "game within a game". Silky works her way through ''seven weeks'' of lip syncs against the other eliminated queens. While she gets a pass from A'Keria, Silky has to beat the just-eliminated queen to continue, and ''does''.
* ShaggyDogStory: Silky survives six straight weeks in the Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown only to be finally eliminated by Eureka!.
* ShoutOut: Silky using her top as a VictoriasSecretCompartment is a reference to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZfYQ2KpvPQ&t=36s this comedy routine.]]
* ShrinkingViolet: Subverts her ItsAllAboutMe persona of Season 11 upon her return, resulting in her dimming her light (in her own words) and sending her packing. Once Ru reveals she's got a second shot at the competition, she cackles, vows to invoke the trope and play like her Season 11 self (which she does, dominating the Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown for six weeks!)
* ThrowTheDogABone: Despite the ShaggyDogStory conclusion, Ru makes sure to tell Silky she's accomplished something that's never been done on the show before and that she is truly "legendary".
* TokenReligiousTeammate: Silky is a devout Christian, and is not afraid to show it. Her talent has her singing gospel music accompanied by her own piano playing, and in the third episode expresses hope they will be [[KnockingOnHeathensDoor handing out pamphlets]] as [[HollywoodJehovahsWitness "Ru"hovah's Witnesses]].
* VictoriasSecretCompartment: During her entrance look she pulls a chocolate chip cookie and a full glass of milk out of her cleavage. Taken to the extreme during the Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown in which during a performance Silky pulls out a glass, a bag of ice, a mixer, ''and'' a bottle of alcohol out of her cleavage to mix herself a cocktail ''on stage!!'' Just keeps going from there, with Silky pulling out a water bottle to douse herself, a flag for a color-guard routine, and eventually a [[RockersSmashGuitars guitar]], the last of which even perplexes the other queens on just where the heck she was hiding it!
* WardrobeMalfunction: During her Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown against Eureka! she wears a sauna suit she plans on tearing off to reveal her dance costume ... only for it to get stuck during her reveal. She ends up continuing the performance even though the suit is still wrapped around her leg.
* WeightWoe: Talks about how her weight was one of the many things fans attacked her over online after Season 11; she even seems to pay homage to her weight journey during her Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown against Eureka!, in which Silky wears a sauna suit and does aerobics before tearing it off to reveal a dance costume underneath.

->"Awooooooo ... I hope you like it doggy-style!"
----
* BreakTheHaughty: First episode Yara wins the talent show, and it seems to give a massive boost to her ego; during the second episode she goes on and on about what everyone else is doing for the Blue Ball, constantly giving critiques and saying how she'll just pound out her outfit in ten minutes and win again like she did last episode. She ends up in the bottom two and up for elimination for a look the judges call busy and unfocused.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Those familiar with season 3 and All Stars 1 are already well aware that Yara is just nonsense in human form.
* {{Corpsing}}: Yara sometimes has issues with focusing in acting challenges, seen during the Commercial challenge where she cracks herself up in the middle of takes. Michelle (acting as director) actually reminds Yara they need a take without her laughing that they can use for the final product.
* DefiantToTheEnd:
** Subverted, since it did not lead to her elimination, but when she is in the bottom two after the ball challenge, she refuses to defend her right to stay or beg her competitors to save her, citing she has too much self-respect to debase herself like that.
** Played straight in episode 4 when she's in the bottom again, with that same attitude, and the other queens don't get the sense that she wants to fight for herself. This time, it proves to be Yara's downfall.
* GagBoobs: Comes back into a competition with a ''very'' fluid breastplate, which she uses for her variety show talent featuring a lot of violent {{Gainaxing}} leading to her winning the challenge. She tries to bring it back next episode for the Blue Ball, only to be told by the judges it's already getting old, however.
* InsufferableGenius: Comes off this way towards Jamal Sims during the Half-Time Show challenge when learning her Shakira choreography. At first Sims accepts Yara's feedback, even acknowledging her ideas are sometimes better, but eventually Yara has to critique about every move Jamal gives to her, with him trying to keep her focused on just finishing the routine as given.
* LaserGuidedKarma: She spends most of the episode for the ball challenge bragging about her renowned design abilities, roaming around the Werkroom doing nothing and rubbing it in the other queens' faces. Her ploy is to do all of her work quickly and at the last minute so the others don't know what to expect. Come time for the judge's critique though, her constructed outfit is read for not being edited enough and her blue collar look for not coming across blue collar. This lands her squarely in the Bottom Two.
* PrecisionFStrike: Her exit line leaves everyone in either StunnedSilence or nervous laughter.
-->'''Yara:''' FUCK YOU ALL!
* SpicyLatina: On the nicer end of this trope - she wasn't Miss Congeniality for nothing. The spicy aspect still comes out when she's in the bottom two in episode 2, and again in episode 4; see DefiantToTheEnd.
* TemptingFate: Happens during the Half-Time Show challenge when she boasts that she plays {{Music/Shakira}} twice a week in Vegas. Like many queens who declare the challenge is 'what they do', she stumbles during the actual performance and ends up being eliminated.

----
* BookDumb: For the Commercial challenge when trying to figure out their exercise/exorcist angle Scarlet starts doing "crunches" ... which are actually bicep curls. Her teammates are quick to read her for that plus for her confused reaction upon being corrected.
* TheBurlesqueOfVenus: Her ''Rudemption'' look rethinks her Season 11 entrance look decorated by William-Adolphe Bouguereau's ''[[Art/TheBirthOfVenusBouguereau The Birth of Venus]]'', revising it from a swimsuit into a full, flowy Greek-like dress.
* CringeComedy: For the Table Talk challenge, Ru says that Scarlet's tendency to put on her drag character even when she's trying to be genuine (such as when Scarlet was talking about her two moms) actually made Ru uncomfortable to watch.
* MommasBoy: Self-admitted, Scarlet proudly has two moms and loves and supports them both.
* OutOfFocus: With a lack of drama with the other queens and a shortage of confessionals, Scarlet is getting very little screen-time during this season. While she is killing it on the runway, in challenges she has not crested past just being "safe" by the fourth episode, and is eliminated in the fifth episode.
* StepfordSmiler: Receives critiques from the judges that she is uncomfortable or just inexperienced in letting down the mask of her drag character and showing genuine emotion and vulnerability. Sadly, this ends up leading to her elimination.

!A'keria C. Davenport [-(8th)-]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/as6_akeria.jpg]]
->'''Real Name''': Gregory D'Wayne
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 11 (3rd=)

->"The one most fit to meet ''all'' the criteria...screw all that, just say 'Hey, Miss A'keria!'"
----
* DudeLooksLikeALady: A'keria revealed during the Pink Table Talk challenge that she had previously tried to live her life as a transgender woman before ultimately coming to the conclusion she was still a cisgender man. However, she made this decision after already getting some feminizing surgery to get hip and ass implants, which she says some other some gay men don't find attractive in her as a boy.
* TheFunInFuneral: In addition to believing in ghosts, A'keria expresses interest in one day owning multiple funeral homes.
* {{Mooning}}: This is part of A'Keria's halftime show routine as Music/{{Prince}}/[[TheTropeFormerlyKnownAsX The Artist Formerly Known as Prince]], when she turns around and reveals a "butt window" in her pants. For those who don't know, this is a ShoutOut to Prince's famous butt window from his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovqQzXgZUio 1991 VMAs performance.]]
* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Sort of a RunningGag is the fact everyone thinks Trinity is the "trade" of the season[[note]]The definition of "trade" is very subjective; some say its a masculine presenting male, such as a tradesman (i.e. a lumberjack, rancher, etc.); some say its a sexy male with an element of danger to them, such as you would trade money or services to sleep with them; while on the show it seems to be used as a blanket-term for any man you'd want to have sex with[[/note]] ... everyone except A'keria who vehemently states Trinity will ''never'' be trade whenever its brought up.
* OutOfFocus: Her confessionals are noticeably (and significantly) scaled back early on, compared to her run as the "whistleblower" during season 11. The only time she starts getting spotlight on the show is when she's consistently hitting the bottom two/three.
* RecursiveCrossdressing: For the Half-Time Show challenge she decides to portray {{Music/Prince}}/[[TheTropeFormerlyKnownAsX The Artist Formerly Known as Prince]]. She ends up in the bottom two for not elevating Prince's already grandiose style of performing.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Is the only queen to decline the opportunity to return for the "game within a game" redumption, deciding her time was done and that she still has room to grow.
* SayingTooMuch: After her team lands in the bottom for the Commercial challenge, A'keria calls out herself and Silky as being the obvious bottom two. As Ra'jah notes, had A'keria not so plainly put herself and Silky in the bottom, it was very likely they could have convinced some of the other queens (in particular her Season 11 sisters) to vote for Jan or Ginger instead.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her confessional look.

!Jan [-(7th)-]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/as6_jan.jpg]]
->'''Real Name''': Charlie Mantione
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 12 (8th)

->"I'm back, pack, back, pack, back again!"
----
* AscendedFangirl: Jan mentions in episode 1's ''Untucked'' that she's so excited to be on All Stars so she can meet people she's looked up to for years. Of course, then there's a MomentKiller when Scarlet Envy has to go vote out one of the bottom two.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Episode 4 probably has the most focus on Jan of any episode she's been in, outside of maybe the infamous Music/{{Madonna}} Rusical in her original season. And this time, Jan finally - ''finally'' - wins the challenge.
* BrokenTears: Has a small metldown in the confessionals when reflecting on how the judges and her fellow queens don't think she is being genuine or authentic, claiming her 110% personality is really her since she just naturally enjoys being a big cheerleader.
* ButtMonkey: Poor Jan. She lands in the bottom three times, the second time the vote is split and she is saved because the top queen voted in her favor. The third time, the same happens but this time the top queen voted against her. The confessionals have a rather high incidence of the other queens complaining about how annoying and fake they find her. Her critiques on the main stage are hardly better, with the final critique from Rupaul that her lyrics lacked soul. Despite giving it her all in her rudemption lip sync, she loses against Silky, bringing her grand total of drag race lip sync losses to 3.
* DramaticIrony: Jan goes into the commercial challenge, ready to push herself out of "safe." She gets her wish- and lands in the bottom four. Ginger even lampshades it.
* DressesTheSame: For the "Hot Tropics" runway, both herself and Ginger presented looks based on the Music/JenniferLopez Versace dress from the 2000 Grammy Awards.
* GenkiGirl: As enthusiastic and always-at-a-10 as ever. Deconstructed as the competition goes on, and the judges start finding her constant energy disingenuous and/or exhausting. This frustrates Jan, who's just [[IAmWhatIAm always been like this.]] Thankfully, come episode 6, she gets a role in the Ru-Merican Horror Story that serves her enthusiasm perfectly.
* GenreSavvy: For the Half-Time Show challenge, she points out that she needs to prove someone can actually impersonate Lady Gaga correctly for once (previously done poorly by Phi Phi O'Hara, Miz Cracker, and even Kylie during her original season). She knows if she fails this time as well, she'll never hear the end of it (she kills the performance and ends up winning the challenge!).
* HistoryRepeats: Once again, Jan gets negatively critiqued for always being at 110% and seeming incapable of bringing her energy down to show nuance or range.
* HumiliationConga: Her elimination episode is not a pretty one. Despite being considered InUniverse the strongest singer in the cast, she receives the harshest critiques for her lyrics, which Rupaul calls missing ‘soul.’ When the lipstick is revealed she gets a rather painful moment of YankTheDogsChain when it appears Pandora is eliminated, but it turns out to be a tie. Then Trinity eliminates her anyway. To add insult to injury, ALL her teammates that episode voted against her.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Gets critiqued for her verse in the Girl Group challenge for being mostly fluff about herself instead of giving any sort of positive message to the gay community.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In Episode 6, Jan walks into the werkroom on elimination day narrating herself; "It's a new day in the werkroom!" like the producers usually have someone say in the confessionals.
* LostInCharacter: Enforced. Jan's persona throughout Season 12 was built out via several wry nods to [[Series/TheBradyBunch Jan Brady]], the try-hard, [[MiddleChildSyndrome overlooked middle sister]] of the Brady Bunch, though she presented herself as a more positive, empowered version of the character. However, this character link proved to be something of a noose come All-Stars, as her narrative was seemingly constructed in such a way that she ''became'' the Jan Brady of the competition, never really catching a break, being presented as something of a ButtMonkey throughout, and never ''quite'' measuring up to her more talented sisters  -- [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor in true Jan Brady style]]. 
* MyGreatestSecondChance: Downplayed when she uses the Blue Ball as an excuse to remake her Ball Ball outfit from Season 12, in spite of the queens warning her just doing the same thing again (even if better) won't impress the judges. As expected, while the resulting outfit is good, it's deemed safe by the judges.
* OhCrap: Has two during Episode 5; first when every other remaining queen revealed they saved A'keria from elimination, Jan realizes she was the ''only'' one to save Yara. Later when the queens are getting ready for the runway, the group pretty much comes to the decision "track records" aren't enough to save anyone from elimination; this happening immediately after Jan won her first episode ever!
* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: Parodied during the commercial challenge; when Ginger sells themselves as a drag queen escort service, Jan cuts in that the correct term is "social companion" service. [[PrecisionFStrike Ginger promptly tells Jan to go fuck herself]].
* RealityShowGenreBlindness: Shoots herself in the foot when after winning the Half-Time Show challenge she picks A'keria for elimination, when every other queen voted for Yara (except Yara herself, obviously). Jan tries to claim she wanted to 'vote with her heart' and save A'keria, but assumed everyone else was going to save Yara due to her track record. Ironically, by trying to vote with the group and not rock the boat she outed herself as a wild card for eliminations, exactly what she was trying to avoid.
* RulesLawyer: Has shades of this when she's up for elimination for the Table Talk challenge; when Scarlet brings up the fact Jan had the worst critiques of the night, Jan counters she only had the worst critiques from the judges as a whole. (In Jan's opinion) Scarlet had the worst critique from [=RuPaul=] herself, which Jan feels should hold more weight since this is ''[=RuPaul's=] Drag Race'', afterall.
* ThrowTheDogABone:
** Jan being declared safe in the season 12 Rusical is one of the most infamous safe placements ever, and Jan being safe has been a RunningGag among fans and queens ever since. In episode 4, Jan finally gets that coveted win when she performs as Music/LadyGaga in the halftime show challenge. Of course, that high doesn't last come lipsync time, when season 2's ''Jessica Wild'' (of all people) shows up and just [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomps]] Jan.
** Despite giving it her all in her rudemption lip sync, she comes short against Silky. Before he eliminates her, Rupaul offers Jan some heartwarming words of comfort and praise.
* YankTheDogsChain: Poor, poor Jan. She gets to enjoy staying over Pandora for about 5 seconds before Alexis Mateo reveals the second lip stick. Then Trinity eliminates her a second time.
* YouKeepUsingThatWord: Ever since Episode 3, she keeps using the judge's critique that she needs to "bring the funk" as a reason why she should be able to always give the 110% Jantasy. The other queens keep trying to tell her that "Funk" does not mean "Energy", and Jan needs to learn different challenges require different levels of performance. As a final punch to her ego, after declaring she's bringing the "funk" in her Girl Group verse, Ru tells Jan her performance is lacking "soul" now.

->"I have a box for delivery, but I heard you only accept them in the rear!"
----
* AutoTune: Her song in the talent show is dripping with this.
* BoringButPractical: For the Half-Time Show challenge, Pandora decides to impersonate Carol Channing again (after she killed the impersonation already during the ''Snatch Game'' of her season). While she justifies her choice in that Channing was among the first celebrities ever to perform at the Superbowl, she does acknowledge the concern her choice could be seen as being safe. Unfortunately, she ends up being correct as her performance gets little attention from the judges.
* ButtMonkey: Arguably of the entire franchise, despite being very beloved by the fandom. Pandora has managed to compete in three separate seasons and a grand total of 17 competitive episodes, without winning a single challenge (or lip sync, since she loses to rudemption champion Silky).
* CallBack: For the Girl Group challenge her verse tries to intentionally invoke her CD-skipping quirk from her Talent Show performance from episode 1 ... it doesn't go over well, since not only have the judges heard it before, but per Michelle, Pandora wasted two lines of lyrics just by skipping "ha-ha-ha" over and over again.
* CatchPhrase: [[DefiedTrope Defied]] [[PlayedForLaughs for laughs]] with both of her eliminations; during her first exit she just states she doesn't have a catch phrase before walking off, and when she loses the Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown she leaves the stage once again stating she never bothered coming up with a catch phrase.
* DressesTheSame: For the Pop Art runway, she's one of three queens (along with Ginger and Eureka!) to use the famous Creator/AndyWarhol Creator/MarilynMonroe piece as inspiration for their outfit.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Gets annoyed that for the group vote in Episode 7 that it was a tie between herself and Jan; she argues that while she hasn't won any challenges she's also never been in the bottom, while that was Jan's third time being up for elimination.
* FlatCharacter: Gets critiqued for her celebrity choice of [[Creator/KimCattrall Kim Cattrall]] for ''Snatch Game of Love'', while the judges admit she said a few funny things, Cattrall's character is a fairly one-note sex joke which got old quickly.
* ICantDance:
** Her talent show performance comes off like a parody of the typical dance extravaganzas that queens like Aja and Kennedy Davenport have done in the past. Pandora does a minor reveal, and... [[{{Anticlimax}} just makes awkward, uncomfortable faces]] before filling the empty space by shooting foam out of her top. It's so ridiculous and played for comedy that she lands a high placement.
** Comes back to bite her in the Girl Group challenge; while Pandora tries her best to keep up with her teammates it's just painfully obvious she is not up to par with them wheN it comes to dancing. That coupled with her lackluster song lyrics lands her in the bottom.
* OutOfFocus: During the season's airing, Pandora noted on social media, with a hefty dose of SarcasmMode, that she didn't seem to have much in the way of confessionals or screen time in general. Pandora's not alone in this, since A'Keria also has very little confessionals early on. Still, episode 2 is especially notable in Pandora's case, in that she's barely even shown at all, to the point that some fans forgot she was even there till she walked the runway. Ironically in episode 7 when she finally gets some attention, its due to the fact she was out of focus in the Girl Group challenge.
* OvershadowedByAwesome:
** Makes the comment that she felt steamrolled in ''Snatch Game of Love'' by Eureka!'s loud and filthy portrayal of Divine, although Eureka! counters that she tried giving Pandora plenty of chances to show off and just didn't take advantage of them.
** This is true of Pandora to herself as well; she came into ''Snatch Game of Love'' knowing that she would have to fight against being overshadowed by her previous ''Snatch Game'' of Carol Channing, one of the most famous impersonations in Drag Race history.
* ShrinkingViolet: Of her own admission.
* TheQuietOne: Gets critiqued by the judges during the Table Talk challenge when she comes off as demure and soft-spoken compared to her teammates. Michelle Visage personally calls Pandora out, having worked with her on tour Michelle points out she knows Pandora has it in her to be loud and vibrant.
* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: In the third episode, the queens are tasked with coming up with adverts for drag side hustles. This falls straight into Pandora's wheelhouse, since she designs ads for a local TV station in her hometown for a job. While she doesn't quite manage to win the challenge, the inspired silliness of the resulting ad puts Pandy and her team in the top.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Although she loses the Rudemption lip sync to Silky, Rupaul offers Pandora some heartwarming words of comfort and praise for her star power throughout the season and career.

!Trinity K. Bonet [-(5th)-]

->"You know they done fucked up right?"
----

* AchillesHeel: Self-admitted (and demonstrated) during the ''Snatch Game of Love'', Trinity has come back this season proving time and time again she has grown since Season 6; however Trinity just lacks the quick wit that is needed for improv challenges. ''Snatch Game'' was one of her worst moments, as any time Ru would ask her a question she would get tongue-tied and not have a response.
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Although she made no effort in concealing her displeasure at the lip sync smack down, she was amused by Silky’s antics.
* BadImpressionists: Her Whitney Houston impression in the ''Snatch Game of Love'' was an outright disaster. With flat characterization and an even worse performance, in which had to be asked the same question ''twice'', she ended up in the bottom two for this.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: While "Bitch" may be a strong word, Ginger accuses Trinity of this after she delivers a RousingSpeech to the bottom queens from the Commercial challenge, telling them they 'have nothing to worry about'. Ginger rightly points out while it's nice and all that Trinity is trying to uplift her competition, at the end of the night Trinity is still going to have to send one of them home.
* BlessedWithSuck: Trinity is the first ever queen to be the Tie-Breaker for an elimination vote (normally the winning queen's vote does not count in the group vote should they lose the lip sync). This means Trinity gets all the responsibility of sending someone home, but doesn't earn the $10,000 tip that usually comes with it.
* ButtMonkey: Noteworthy given how greatly she TookALevelInBadass. Nevertheless, she constantly struggled in multiple ways. For example:
** Trinity bombs the talent show and just ''barely'' survives elimination because Yara lost the lip sync against Coco.
** The next episode Yara lands in the bottom two and the group votes unanimously to save her…except for Trinity who ends up looking like a petty "mess", in her own words.
** She’s then forced to work with Yara in the episode, where she wins her very first challenge by playing a ButtMonkey in the commercial and feels ignored by the queens who do not immediately congratulate her.
** Her victory ends by being promptly flattened in a lip sync against DanceBattler extraordinaire Laganja.
** After she scores her second win and becomes the statistical frontrunner in the competition, Trinity bombs the lip sync by losing her wig against Alexis Mateo, who despite being a decade older, executes flawless wardrobe reveals to the visible admiration of Carson Kressly and the other queens.
** Since the group vote is tied, Trinity has to eliminate Jan anyway. This makes Trinity the only remaining queen to lose a lip sync and earn not a single dollar in tips. (Yara and Jan also lost, but are already eliminated, Rajah, Ginger and Kylie either tied or won their lip syncs).
** Trinity goes from being the frontrunner in the competition to delivering one of the worst Snatch Game performances in the history of the show, not simply a bad characterization, but an outright defeated performance.
** Only gets to enjoy being the frontrunner for a week, before Ginger also wins her second challenge, plus Ginger has won every lip sync and has earned over half the grand prize in prizes and cash tips technically making her the frontrunner instead. To add insult to injury, both of Ginger's inflated tips came at the expense of Trinity losing her previous lip syncs and the pot rolling over.
** In the Episode 9 mini-challenge, she's tied as the next queen most likely to be eliminated, this in spite of Trinity having two wins, while two of her fellow queens only have one and Eureka! having none. However ... she only tied that vote because Trinity voted for herself to avoid drama.
** [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Akeria never accepts Trinity as trade]].
** Finally, she is eliminated after making it to the final four and having it snatched away by Eureka! being allowed to return the competition. What's worse, it was '''Eureka!''' who won that episode's challenge (after Eureka! and Trinity have grown very close during the season) and then tied the resulting lip sync, where Trinity was eliminated ''twice'', both by her bestie and the group vote.
* ByronicHero: For a comedy reality tv show about drag queens, TKB checks…ALL the boxes for this trope: charismatic, talented, self-centered, moody, incredibly driven and determined, self-destructive, self-alienating, surviving an illness, and even with a mysterious past involving a vindictive white witch!
* CallBack: During the ''Snatch Game of Love'' episode Ru questions Trinity's ability to make Whitney Houston funny by asking her "what did you have for breakfast?" for her to respond in-character, with Trinity unable to reply and admitting being quick on her feet is a struggle for her. After bombing the aforementioned challenge, Ru tries one more time to get Trinity to give her a quip, asking her on the main stage "what did you have for breakfast?", only for Trinity to throw up her hands and reply with "nothing", a Whitney reference to the song 'I Have Nothing' but clearly also being over the celebrity improv.
* CatFolk: Her character for the ''Drag Tots'' challenge, [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Fierce Felicia the Feline]], a literal pussycat person who is a master of strutting the [[{{Pun}} catwalk]].
* ConfidenceSabotage: Discussed when for the Half-Time Show challenge Trinity decides to do Beyoncé, and how Bianca Del Rio epically shot down her dream of impersonating Beyoncé during Season 6. In spite of this, Trinity doesn't let it bother her and goes on to get greatly positive critiques for her performance.
* DatingServiceDisaster: Her Monologue challenge story involved her being catfished by a superfan using his roommate's photos who wanted to tell Trinity coming out as HIV positive on Drag Race saved his life ... Trinity responds by telling him to have his hot roommate call her (after thanking him, of course!)
* DespairEventHorizon: When Eureka! wins the monologue challenge at the final five after being brought back, Trinity, knowing she has the worst track record of the group, officially gives up as she tearfully mumbles "I was so close" over and over again.
* DoomedDefeatist: Episode 11 was this on the nose after Eureka! who had previous been eliminated was brought back into the competition. Trinity just can't get out of her own head that if Eureka! does well she will be the next to go, bringing it up or being dour so often the other queens outright call her out on it. [[TemptingFate Unfortunately]], Trinity's fears are brought to reality after Eureka! wins the monologue challenge and she's the only 'safe' choice left to eliminate due to how many times she's been in the bottom. Even during deliberation, all Trinity can do is delay the inevitable and hold back her tears as she keeps repeating "I was so close" over and over.
* EpicFail: Utterly fails the ''Snatch Game of Love'' with her [[Music/WhitneyHouston Whitney Houston]], it wasn't even that she wasn't funny in a "so bad, it's good" or a "point and laugh at the cringe" way, she literally had no responses to Ru and mostly sat struggling to come up with ''anything'' to say in-character.
* TheEeyore: Touched on when she's voted "Most Moody Queen", but exacerbated the following episode; while none of the other queens were too thrilled at the prospect of an eliminated queen returning, most eventually came around when they saw how hard their sisters were working for the opportunity ... everyone except Trinity who remained grumpy the entire time talking about how letting someone come back was a load of BS. Kylie calls out Trinity using the trope by name in confessionals.
* FatalFlaw: While Trinity is undeniably talented, her biggest issue throughout the competition is her self-destructive behavior, which can cause her to stumble heavily in challenges or alienate the other queens.
*GenreSavvy:
** Subverted. She's fully aware that stand-up comedy - namely, Jasmine Masters' improvised stand-up, and Derrick Barry's long series of impressions - tends to do poorly on the talent show. Since she aced the comedy challenge on her season, she's confident that she can buck that trend. She fails miserably, since her delivery is a ''mess,'' and narrowly avoids elimination.
** Trinity also points out that everyone who's done Beyoncé on the show has stumbled hard (Tyra Sanchez, Kenya Michaels, and Asia O'Hara), but is still convinced in the halftime show challenge that she can pull it off. Trinity's dancing abilities are perfect for Beyoncé, and she places high and finally breaks the "curse."
* GreekChorus: During the lip sync smack down.
* GrumpyBear: Throughout the competition but especially during the lip sync smack down. She was having none of it.
* HairstyleMalfunction: During a ''Lipsync for your Legacy'' against Alexis Mateo, Trinity was holding her own until her wig came flying off. You could see all the other queens watch in horror, as they know losing your wig almost guarantees a loss (which it does).
* HisOwnWorstEnemy:
** Few queens provide a better example of what Rupaul calls the "Inner Saboteur". Trinity is incredibly talented and charismatic, but also prone to self-destructive and defeatist behavior, which can lead her to shut down in the face of criticism or alienate the other queens because of her defensiveness.
** Gets upset after she ties with Eureka! as queen most likely to be eliminated next in the superlative mini-challenge ... but the only reason she even tied was because she voted for herself because she wanted to avoid drama.
* IResembleThatRemark: In the Episode 9 mini-challenge after being called out for being the "Most Moody" of the cast, Trinity immediately tells the other queens they can go fuck themselves (although in a joking manner). She later expresses their picking her as moody actually did hurt her feelings, although also reluctantly agrees they aren't exactly wrong, either.
* InformedLoner: She initially worries because, unlike her fellow competitors, she has no friends in the competition to rely on in case she ends up in the bottom -- [[TemptingFate and sure enough]], this happens to her in the very first episode. When the group votes are revealed after Serena's elimination, she's very relieved to know that nobody voted for her, except for Serena herself and Yara (whose vote didn't count since she lost the Lip-Sync For Your Legacy), meaning that they believe in her all the same.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Has a moment of this after she wins the Commercial challenge, yet all the bottom queens come back to the werkroom and immediately start pleading their cases on why they should stay. Trinity is deeply annoyed that no one (aside from her own teammates) could give her a moment of their time to congratulate her.
* MotorMouth: Trinity has a habit of talking fast, which can cause her to stumble. It tanks her in the first episode during her stand-up routine, tripping over her own words; and then again in the monologue episode, where in spite of her routine being very touching the judges point out she didn't give herself room to breath and them a chance to absorb her story.
* PersonAsVerb: After Trinity called out the other girls for not giving her kudos for winning in Episode 3, the queens have coined the term of being "Trinity'ed"; meaning to not immediately congradulate someone for winning a challenge above and before all other comments or discussion and risking them getting butthurt over it. Trinity is unamused.
* [[PsychoExGirlfriend Psycho Ex-Boyfriend]]: Played for laughs (probably?); but Trinity reveals she once dated a "White Witch", who she fears might have cursed her after they broke up.
* RealityShowGenreBlindness: While the likes of Lady Gaga and Beyoncé are infamously known to be ill-advised choices for ''Snatch Game'', Whitney Houston has also been rather lackluster the couple of times its been tried (Sahara Davenport's was fairly boring, Monét X Change's was considered manic and confusing for being the sweaty "Bobby!"-yelling ''Being Bobby Brown'' version, and Asia O'Hara was outright told she wasn't allowed to play her drugged-out version as it was in poor taste). Trinity still gives her Whitney a try since she knows all the mannerisms ... but because Whitney does not have a big personality, she has nothing to fall back on and ends up giving almost no responses during the challenge.
* TheResenter: She is, of her own admission, very sensitive. Unfortunately, the sentiments she clinches tend to be negative, such as Yara voting against her or the other queens not celebrating her first victory.
* {{Squee}}: Has this reaction to finding out Episode 8's guest judge will be Tina Knowles-Lawson, Beyoncé's mother.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Trinity, after finally getting her first win, is then tasked with facing the lip sync assassin: ''Laganja Estranja,'' one of the best dancers in the whole show, who makes her entrance by jumping into frame with a split. With a little sardonic humor, Trinity immediately turns to the judges and says "That first stunt don't count." The OhCrap is just ''all'' over her face, and sure enough, Trinity's season 6 sister just eats her alive.
* TookALevelInBadass: Alongside Kylie, one of the biggest in All Stars. Back in season six Trinity struggled a lot with the challenges, such as the commercials or the [=RuSical=]. In All Stars, she wins both challenges!
* WhatTheHellHero: Gets upset that the other queens called her the "Most Moody" in the Episode 9 mini-challenge, even after when she reflects that there may be some truth to it she still didn't like being called out on it. In addition, she didn't like the vote was tied including her as most likely to go home next ... even though she only won that vote because she voted for herself.

->"Ahahaha! Eureka, you found it!...again...and again...and again. Well, maybe third time's a charm, hell!"
----
* BigFun: This season is easily the most jovial Eureka's ever been.
* BringMyBrownPants: Her Monologue challenge story involved the time she stuffed herself with cheddar jalapeño corn dogs before a show she had to pull a double for, only for her to shit herself during a split.
* ChewingTheScenery: Plays the [[RefugeInAudacity legendary filth queen]] [[Creator/DivineActor Divine]] for the ''Snatch Game of Love'', and true to most of her performances she dominates the show ... although not always in the best way. Pandora quips at some point she felt railroaded by Eureka!'s character, although Eureka! takes issue with that since she stands firm she tried to give Pandora opportunites to shine.
* ControlFreak: Working with Kylie and Ginger in the Girl Group challenge, Eureka! tries to critique their choreography and constantly insert her own opinions into their routine, to the chagrin of her teammates. Fortunately by the actual performance the group has come together to pull off a decent showing. During the Episode 9 mini-challenge, she's voted "Most Bossy" by the other queens.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Managed to defeat Silky, who had won six lipsyncs in a row, earning her place back into the competition.
* DressesTheSame: For the Pop Art runway, she's one of three queens (along with Ginger and Pandora) to use the famous Creator/AndyWarhol Creator/MarilynMonroe piece as inspiration for their outfit.
* DueToTheDead: She makes no secret of the fact that her run is in tribute to her recently-deceased mother, from her variety show performance right to the finale.
* ExcitedShowTitle: For this season, her name is stylized as "Eureka!".
* FatAndProud: As the self-proclaimed "Elephant Queen", she is very vocal over the fact she is a proud and outspoken plus-sized queen, and doesn't shrink away from talking about it.
* FinalBoss: Plays this role for Silky, as the final opponent during the lip sync smack down.
* FlatCharacter: In spite of the fact Eureka! always gives high-energy, by Episode 6 the judges warn her that her performance can come off as manic and one-note. They appreciate that Eureka! is always willing to give a [[LargeHam huge performance]] but that she's not good at taking critique in reigning it back.
* {{Gasshole}}: Voted "Most Gassy" by the rest of the queens during the Episode 9 mini-challenge, Eureka does not deny this claim.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Her character for the ''Drag Tots'' challenge, the evil villain Alexandria [=McQueen=]. The judges love the idea of a villain as her character, but critique she just didn't push it far enough with her mannerisms and demeanor.
* InMemoriam[[invoked]]: Her variety show incorporates a lip-sync to her original song and projections on her large white gown to honor her mother, who passed away in 2019.
* MommasBoy: Eureka! dedicates her Talent Show number to the memory of her mother, as well as her lip sync during the Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown. Much of her finale episode is spent talking about how she is trying so hard for her mother, knowing she's looking down on her and how proud she surely has to be.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: In general All-Stars is her third chance, but this trope is played more straight after her elimination for just being safe the entire season versus her competitors who all have wins. After leaving the show Eureka! gets to compete in the "game within a game" Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown, taking down 6-week lip-sync champion Silky, then goes on to officially win her first episode and a $20,000 tip for the monologue challenge, cementing her spot in the final four.
* OhCrap: Shares a brief but visible one with Ginger when it’s revealed Jan is eliminated instead of Pandora, whom she and Ginger voted against.
* ReallyGetsAround: Eureka! is proud to come forward that she's a big girl who likes sex; she cracks jokes about people who identify as "Chubby Chasers" during the ''Table Talk'' challenge, as well as refers to herself as a "sex magnet" in Episode 6 when herself and Trinity are sharing a cuddle in the werkroom.
* TheRival: Discussed after Ginger manages to win the ''Table Talk'' challenge in spite of Eureka!'s team doing better as a group. Eureka! points out the fact both Ginger and herself hit the same demographic as white, comedic, plus-sized queens, although she does say she doesn't want to discount Ginger's accomplishments nor try and declare that there isn't enough room in the show for both of them.
* SadisticChoice: Being responsible for picking one of your fellow queen's lipsticks is this in general, but Eureka! points out when she finally gets her win in the penultimate challenge that her choice will literally select the final four, and that the only 'safe' choice is Trinity, her best friend in the competition. She spends the better part of deliberations trying to justify ''any'' other choice but coming up empty-handed.
* SecondPlaceIsForLosers: Has been doing very well in the competition, hitting the top three several times but not scoring a win. When her team (with A'keria and Trinity) wins for the ''Table Talk'' challenge yet Ginger Minj is suddenly delcared the winner overall, Eureka! expresses her frustration that it felt like her week, and she's sick of being "safe". Pretty much becomes her character arc for the season; when it becomes time for her eventual elimination its solely due to the fact she's the only remaining queen who doesn't have a win.
* SoOkayItsAverage[[invoked]]: Her track record on All Stars; she's never won a challenge, however she's also never been up for elimination. Sadly, when the competition eventually reaches the point where everyone is up for elimination, her perfectly "safe" run this season isn't enough to save her over queens who actually have challenge wins. Finally breaks this narrative when she wins the "game within a game" Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown to make it back into the competition and wins the proceeding monologue episode.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Her justification for creating a villain character for the ''Drag Tots'' challenge, after the other queens labeled her as the most bossy, messy, gassy, and shady queen of the cast.
* TragicKeepsake: During her lip sync for the "game within a game" Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown, Eureka! is wearing her late mother's [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_Alert_Emergency_Response Life Alert]] for good luck.

!Ginger Minj [-(runner-up)-]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/as6_ginger.jpg]]
->'''Real Name''': Joshua Eads-Brown
->'''Original Appearances''': Season 7 (runner-up), All Stars 2 (8th)

->"Feeling froggy?"
----
* AbortedArc: For the ''Pink Table Talk'' challenge, Ginger had wanted the topic of "motherhood" in order to share her story about wanting to adopt and start a family. Since Scarlet got that topic instead through a game of RockPaperScissors we never do find out about Ginger's journey towards motherhood[[note]]it's not unusual for when a topic is brought up, even if not used in a challenge, for it to be discussed later at the producer's behest[[/note]].
* TheAce: The second queen in the franchise to win ''Snatch Game'' twice (after Bendelacreme) and has won 60 grand between lip syncs and challenge prizes, already snatching more than half the grand prize money.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: While up against Lip-Sync Assassin Heidi N Closet and asked if she's ready to perform, Ginger says she's feeling "soft and supple", to Heidi's amusement and delight.
* BreakTheHaughty: Speaks about how fans of the show cite her failed run on All-Stars 2 as this, but argues the fact since filming happened immediately after Season 7 she didn't even have time to enjoy being "haughty" before being knocked off her supposed pedestal.
* ContractualObligationProject[[invoked]]: Has openly stated All-Stars 2 was this; she did not want to immediately film another season after Season 7, but her contract pretty much forced her to participate. She also says All-Stars 6 is ''not'' this and she actually feels prepared to compete this time.
* DoWellButNotPerfect: Gets told during the monologue challenge that her delivery can come off too "Pageant" and therefore can be seen as disingenuous. Comes up again during final deliberations, that Ginger just comes off as too practiced sometimes.
* DressesTheSame:
** For the "Hot Tropics" runway, both herself and Jan presented looks based on the Music/JenniferLopez Versace dress from the 2000 Grammy Awards.
** Happens again for the Pop Art runway, being one of three queens (along with Pandora and Eureka!) to use the famous Creator/AndyWarhol Creator/MarilynMonroe piece as inspiration for their outfit.
* FlatCharacter: For the Half-Time Show challenge, she ends up in the bottom 3 less for her actual performance, but moreso because the diva she selected to perform as, {{Music/Fergie}}, just isn't a bombastic personality. Ginger did the best with what she had to work with, but it still came up a little short compared to some of the other performances.
* GreekChorus: During the lip sync smack down.
* HairstyleMalfunction: Invoked for her "Fashion Faux Pas" runway, burning off her bangs with a curling iron, thereafter burning her dress [[AmusingInjuries and her hand with it]].
* NoDamageRun: None of her competitors ever voted for her elimination.
* OhCrap: Shares a brief but visible one with Eureka! when it’s revealed Jan is eliminated instead of Pandora, whom she and Eureka! voted against.
* OverlyLongName: Her ''Drag Tots'' character Terralynne [[Theatre/AStreetcarNamedDesire DuBois]] [[Series/TheGoldenGirls Devereaux]] Belle Jr. III, but you can just call her [[PunnyName Terri-Belle]].
* HistoryRepeats: Just like in All-Stars 2, Ginger is in the bottom in the third episode after receiving praise for her performance in the challenge but bad feedback for her outfit, whose All-Stars 6 incarnation was a revisitation of the All-Stars 2 one. Adding onto the coincidences, the subsequent Lip-Sync for Your Legacy was won by a queen from the House of Edwards. Not quite RuleOfThree however - she ultimately survives the elimination.
* NeverLiveItDown[[invoked]]: Self-invoked when talking about her John Waters was one of her highest points in the competition, and she still receives eggs as gifts from fans. However, she doesn't like getting them because they're not that easy to carry around, especially when she's on tour.
* NeverMyFault: When her team lands in the bottom for the Commercial challenge, she is quick to throw her teammates under the bus, stating had it not been for them she would clearly have been in the top. While Ginger may have been the strongest in her group their commercial just wasn't on par with the other teams, and Ginger was critiqued very harshly on her unflattering redemption runway look, yet during deliberation she is quick to agree the elimination was between A'keria and Silky (and maybe Jan), but she was safe.
* RockPaperScissors: As a bit of a RunningGag, Ginger has wagered two challenge roles she wanted on a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors (against Scarlet for the topic of "Motherhood" for the ''Table Talk'' challenge, and against Kylie for the lead role in the ''Ru-Merican Horror Stories'' challenge), and both times lost.
* SouthernBelle: In addition to being her MO in general, directly invoked for her ''Drag Tots'' character Terri-Belle; drag daughter to [[DoubleEntendre Horri-Belle]] she can throw shade with her parasol but tries to be more lady-like like a good belle.
* WallpaperCamouflage: Ginger wears bright pink camouflage into the Werk Room in episode 7, and it blends in almost perfectly with the pink walls. She gets a laugh out of the opposing girl group team by spying on them while pressed against the wall.
* WeightWoe: Discussed during the Table Talk challenge; Ginger is a plus-sized queen, however her weight is really out of her control. When she was fourteen she had severe intestinal blockage, requiring invasive surgery to fix, and as a result Ginger just started putting on weight no matter what she did. Sharing her history is such an important moment of vulnerability she wins the challenge in spite of the fact both her partners being on the bottom/safe.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Her Monologue challenge story involved her being caught by her step-father putting on her mother's shoes and feeling deeply ashamed, only for her mother to take her aside and gift her a pair of women's shoes of her own, showing that one of her parents did support her unconditionally.

!Ra'jah D. O'Hara [-(runner-up)-]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/as6_rajah.jpg]]

->'''Real Name''': Benni Miller
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 11 (9th)

->"Your salty homegirl's back, and she's sweeter than before!"
----
* CatchPhrase: "Oh my gawd!" said in a sing-song voice.
** SubvertedCatchphrase: In episode 10 at the revelation of the possible return of an eliminated queen, Ra'jah twists her own catch phrase around into a sing-song of "Oh no ma'am!" with the same inflection.
* DanceBattler: She remains true to her legacy from Season 11 by tying with Brooke Lynn Hytes, herself an exceptionally strong lip-syncer, in the second Lip-Sync For Your Legacy.
* DoubleEntendre: Invoked for the initial name of her ''Drag Tots'' character, Queen See-Me which Ru says outright sounds more like Queen ''Semen'', she ends up changing it to I-See-You Queen.
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: The basis of her character in the ''Drag Tots'' challenge, I-See-You Queen, a [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation Purple Person]] with eyeballs all over her hands. The judges adore the concept, the it nets Ra'jah her second win this season.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Seen all season and called out in Episode 9, purple has become Ra'jah's signature color. Works out because everyone agrees it looks great on her! Since that episode everyone from Ra'jah to the judges turn her love of purple UpToEleven, right up to her finale look.
* GreekChorus: During the lip sync smack down.
* HistoryRepeats: When both she and A'keria end up in the bottom together after the ''Ru-Merican Horror Stories'' challenge Ra'jah can't help but to continuously draw parallels between her current situation and her elimination in Season 11, since that also saw A'keria and herself in the bottom as well (only this time it's A'keria who gets eliminated).
* MommasBoy: Discussed during the Table Talk challenge; while her relationship with her mother is a "work in progress", Ra'jah admits in her youth she was a total momma's boy and wants to get to that point again.
* MustMakeAmends: Just because Ra'jah's improved her outlook on life doesn't mean she's forgotten her bitchy ways on season 11. On episode 3's Untucked, Ra'jah winds up having a conversation with Scarlet about how prickly she was - to Scarlet and pretty much everyone else - during their original season. She admits that she was just projecting, and apologizes for the way she treated Scarlet in particular. Scarlet ''immediately'' forgives her, praises Ra'jah for her growth, and [[FriendshipMoment gives her a hug.]]
* MyGreatestSecondChance: Sees the ''Blue Ball'' as this, since in Season 11 she went home after an unconventional materials design challenge. Fortunately for her, this time the result's the polar opposite and she bags her first win.
* PlantPerson: Her ''Rudemption'' outfit is a redo of the infamous ''Farm to Runway'' look from Season 11, with Ra'jah now pairing a form-fitting brown velvet gown (the "trunk") with a headpiece full of green leaves (the "foliage") to look like an anthropomorphic tree.
* RealityShowGenreBlindness: During the ''Ru-Merican Horror Story'' challenge she decides to outright ignore Ross and Michelle's directions to stop using the ChildLikeVoice during her performance. During critiques even though guest judge Creator/EmmaRoberts liked Ra'jah's acting overall, Ross and Michelle (who were and always are main judges) critisize her inability to take direction, landing her in the bottom two.
* SoOkayItsAverage[[invoked]]: Invoked by the judges for her ''Snatch Game of Love'' impersonation of La Toya Jackson; Ra'jah got some zingers in but overall didn't give the judges what they wanted. They even suggest had Ra'jah worn a sailor hat or a headband it might have pushed the impersonation past just being average.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Confidently claims her personality is this, after Season 11 showed how salty she could be she is ready to show her sweet side in All-Stars.
* TextileWorkIsFeminine: Proudly notes sewing as her strongest talent, and she swiftly delivers on this promise by placing high in the variety show (throwing together a dress in just a minute), and winning both the ''Blue Ball'' and the ''Drag Tots'' sewing challenge. In fact, Ra'jah proudly states she personally created all of her All-Stars looks!
* TookALevelInBadass: In her original season she never placed more than safe, ending up in the bottom in four out of seven episodes she was in. On All-Stars, she nets herself a high placement and a win -- cashing in $25,000 in tips -- over the first two episodes.
* TookALevelInKindness: Ra'jah realized how snippy and bitchy she was on season 11, and makes a point to be more approachable this season; refreshingly, she smiles a lot more. She even prevents a potential fight between Yara and Trinity in episode 3.
* WardrobeMalfunction: Her Monologue challenge story involved her mistakingly using masking tape instead of duct tape for her tuck, and her bits and pieces coming loose during a performance.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Gets critiqued for her delivery choices during the ''Ru-Merican Horror Story'' challenge; while the character was written to have a lisp, Ra'jah decided to couple the character with a higher-pitched ChildLikeVoice as well, which the judges were not a fan of and attempted to talk her out of on-set to no avail.

!Kylie Sonique Love [-(winner)-]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/as6_kylie.jpg]]

->'''Real Name''': Kylie Sonique Love
->'''Original Appearance''': Season 2 (9th)

->"Oooooh girl...you got ''female''."
----
* BeYourself: Her biggest takeaway of her finale speech was learning that she didn't have to suppress her feminine side as a child, or her masculine side as a transgender woman; that she can feel proud and comfortable with who she is.
* CureYourGays: Her Monologue challenge story involved coming home from military school that her mother had shipped her off to to cure her of her homosexuality; only for Kylie to be put in drag by her friend and experience being openly accepted for being feminine for the first time in her life.
* CuteWitch: Her character for the ''Drag Tots'' challenge, Miss Behave. While the judges love the adorable witch character, they do feel Kylie could have delivered her lines with more gusto.
* DanceBattler: Kylie was known as a great dancer since Season 2, but at that time her lipsynching was a bit sloppy. Come All-Stars she squares off against Manila Luzon and not only brings the acrobatics and sex, but also a tight lipsync claiming the second clean assassin win of the season (after Ginger won last episode and Ra'jah tied with her assassin).
* DeathOrGloryAttack: During the final lip sync for the crown, Kylie slips and begins to fall, and the world gave a collective gasp…when Kylie seamlessly transitioned it into an UnnecessaryCombatRoll. It may very well have been what pushed her ahead of her competitors and wins her the crown.
* {{Fanservice}}: Kylie has ''no'' qualms about showing off her immaculate figure. For example, her entrance look is a red mesh bodysuit. During the finale though, the judges both acknowledge Kylie's talents in this, but also that she is a multifaceted character that can deliver so much more.
* GreekChorus: During the lip sync smack down.
* MealTicket: During Episode 9 she's voted "Most Likely to have a Sugar Daddy", after which she jokes that she's had a sugar daddy, she's ''been'' a sugar daddy, and has been a sugar momma too.
* MeaningfulRename: She now competes under her full (legal) name, to show that she wants to be authentically herself.
* MyGreatestSecondChance:
** Kylie is notable for having been the first queen ever to be eliminated from ''Snatch Game'' with her lackluster Lady Gaga, however come ''Snatch Game of Love'' she kills it with her [[Music/DollyParton Dolly Parton]] (even keeping up with ''Snatch Game'' savant Ginger Minj). Ru tells Kylie outright during critiques she's redeemed herself for Season 2's performance.
** Really, her run as a whole during this season. She went home fourth in season 2, despite a famously hard-fought lipsync with Morgan [=McMichaels=]. Over the ensuing decade, she properly transitioned, began performing under her full name, and returned to reintroduce herself to the modern fan. Thanks to her renewed confidence as a performer and as a person, she went on to win her first challenge 11 years after her first appearance. And then she went on to win the season as a whole, in one of the show's biggest-ever comebacks in a season of big comebacks.
* NoDamageRun: None of her competitors ever voted for her elimination (although Ginger did say she came close to doing so for the ''Pink Table Talk'' challenge).
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Has attempted to suppress her Southern twang for years, however by the finale's Country Song challenge, she finally embraces her natural Southern tones to the delight of the judges. On the main stage Kylie admits she used to be ashamed of her accent, but has learned to love it as part of herself.
* ThePratfall: Averted, in a particularly heart-stopping moment. During the final four's individual lip-syncs, Kylie trips, which the editors show in slow-motion, only for her to turn it into a ''somersault'' and keep performing from the floor without missing a beat. It's that level of bravado that wins her the crown.
* TheQuietOne: Her natural softspoken demeanor becomes a hindrance when she's assigned as moderator for the Table Talk challenge. She claims she ''can'' turn up the volume, but doesn't like to do so since when she does she 'gets real country' as she puts it. Luckily she finally finds her volume button for the ''Ru-Merican Horror Stories'' challenge, securing her first-ever win 11 years after her original season.
* RecursiveCrossdressing: For the Half-Time Show challenge she decides to impersonate Steven Tyler of {{Music/Aerosmith}}. Kylie even points out the fact she's a transgender woman portraying a man, quipping she's had over 20 years practice pretending to be the male gender already.
* {{Retraux}}: Her overall aesthetic is inspired by late 90s-early 2000s pop diva fashion. For example, she explicitly names Music/BritneySpears and Music/ChristinaAguilera as the inspirations for her ''Blue Denim Baby'' look.
* ShoutOut: Her ''Pop Art'' runway was a direct reference to the 1986 Andy Warhol-designed Barbie doll.
* SpiritedCompetitor: Subtly throughout the competition, but especially visible during the lip sync smack down. She was impressed by the effort the eliminated queens put.
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Both herself and Jiggly use a BorrowedCatchphrase retired by [=RuPaul=] for being insensitive to the transgender community repurposed to be a positive transgender message for themselves as their entrance quote.
* {{Stripperific}}: Kylie's body looks incredible post-transition and she is not shy in showing it off, in fact her signature look could almost be ShesGotLegs coupled with {{Underboobs}} while showing as much skin as possible, best exemplified by her skimpy yellow lipsync outfit against Manila Luzon. That being said, during final deliberations Michelle compliments Kylie that while she knows how to sell sex, there is so much more to her character beyond that.
* TokenMinority: Averted; Kylie may have been the only transgender queen left after Jiggly leaves in episode 2, however she never uses it as a crutch or excuse for her talents. She says outright if she wins she wants to earn it, and not because she checks a box.
* TookALevelInBadass: Along with TKB, one of the standout examples of this trope in the entire franchise. In her original season, Kylie was criticized for hiding behind a mask, struggled with the acting challenges, performed mediocrely in design challenges, had little in way of screen time because of a standoffish personality, and was the first queen eliminated in Snatch Game with a sloppy (though gymnastically impressive) lip sync. Come All Stars? Kylie presents her authentic self in show stopping runways, delivers some iconic lines of the season both hilarious and heartwarming, earns high praise for the design challenge, wins the acting challenge, and defeats Lip Sync Assassin and fan favorite Manila Luzon. Her Snatch Game impersonation of Dolly Parton is (with the possible exception of Naomi Smalls) the single greatest improvement of any queen, with the general agreement that she would have won against anyone other than Ginger Minj. Kylie cements this by winning the whole season.
* WearingAFlagOnYourHead:
** Her ''Blue Denim Baby'' outfit includes baby blue and pink, the colors of the transgender flag, which she also carries in one hand.
** Her finale runway has her in a shimmery American Flag outfit, Kylie stating she wants to reclaim the flag for herself and the people she represents.

** Comes back to bite her in the Girl Group challenge; while Pandora tries her best to keep up with her teammates it's just painfully obvious she is not up to par with them whem it comes to dancing. That coupled with her lackluster song lyrics lands her in the bottom.
* OutOfFocus: During the season's airing, Pandora noted on social media, with a hefty dose of SarcasmMode, that she didn't seem to have much in the way of confessionals or screentime in general. Pandora's not alone in this, since A'Keria also has very little confessionals early on. Still, episode 2 is especially notable in Pandora's case, in that she's barely even shown at all, to the point that some fans forgot she was even there till she walked the runway. Ironically in episode 7 when she finally gets some attention, its due to the fact she was out of focus in the Girl Group challenge.

* ThrowTheDogABone: Although she loses the rudemption lip sync to Silky, Rupaul offers Pandora some heartwarming words of comfort and praise for her star power throughout the season and career.

->'''Original Season''': Season 6 (7th)

* TheAce: Invoked in episode 7; prior to that no queen had won more than a single challenge thus far, so much ado is made over the fact whoever gets their second win first will be the season's "front-runner", with Trinity being the one to claim that title. Then subverted the next episode when she horribly bombs the Snatch Game.

* MyGreatestSecondChance: In general All-Stars is her third chance, but this trope is played more straight after her elimination for just being safe the entire season versus her competitors who all have wins. After leaving the show Eureka! gets to compete in the "game within a game" Rudemption Lip-Sync Smackdown, taking down 6-week lip-sync champion Silky, then goes on to officially win her first episode and a $20,000 tip for the monlogue challenge, cementing her spot in the final four.
