All Stars 10 Is Here, and the Latina Queens Are Not Playing
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars is back, and Season 10 is totally living up to the hype. This year, Mama Ru shook things up with a new bracket-style tournament and the biggest cast in All Stars herstory: 18 returning queens, three brackets, and tons of drama. And if there’s one thing we’re keeping an eye on, it’s the Latinas.
For the first time, nine Latinas are vying for the crown. Literally half the cast. And, right now, a lot of them are making serious progress in the competition. Let’s dive into the format and spotlight these fierce queens who are showing everyone why our comunidad deserves a spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame.
The Format
Season 10 of All Stars is laid out like a bracket tournament. The queens are split into three groups of six. Each group competes across three episodes, earning points along the way. The top two queens of each episode receive two points, with the lip-sync winner grabbing one extra. Then, in classic Drag Race style, there’s a twist: the bottom four queens award a point to the queen they think was the MVQ (Most Valuable Queen) of the episode.
After the three-episode bracket, the three queens with the most points move on to the next round. Once nine queens advance, the pressure ramps up, leading to a final lip sync smackdown for the crown, a chance to win $200,000, and a spot on the RuPaul’s Drag Race Hall of Fame.
Group One
The first bracket has already wrapped up, and we saw Aja, the iconic Puerto Rican queen, rise to the top and move forward. Her voguing, her fashion, and her unbeatable confidence show that she’s here for more than just redemption. Aja’s journey is all about evolution. From Season 9 to All Stars 3 and now, she’s proving the power of second (and third) chances.

Olivia Lux, who is Afro-Puerto Rican and a proud member of the House of Miyake-Mugler, didn’t advance, but she definitely made an impact with her musicality, stunning looks, and sweet yet competitive energy. It was a tough bracket, and while she may be out for now, RuPaul hinted at a potential twist later in the season, so we’re not counting her out just yet.

Group Two
We’re currently in the middle of the second bracket, and the competition is tight. Two Latina queens are standing out big time: Mistress Isabelle Brooks and Jorgeous.

Mistress, who is Mexican-American and a fan favorite from Season 15, is bringing the perfect blend of pageant polish and unpredictable drama that fans love. She’s not afraid to call it like it is, and she’s been a clear frontrunner so far. Whether she’s reading the other queens or serving looks, Mistress is making her presence known.
Jorgeous, the pint-sized diva from Season 14 and All Stars 9, is dancing her way back into everyone’s hearts. Her lip syncs are flawless and her outfits fire. She’s reminding everyone why she belongs on the main stage.

Group three is coming up, and it’s packed with Latina power. Denali, the Mexican-American queen and skating sensation from Season 13, is ready to bring her Olympic-level precision and energy. Her past lip syncs have been unforgettable, and fans are already buzzing about what she’ll bring to the bracket.

In group three, we’ve also got Cynthia Lee Fontaine: it’s time to get cucu again! The Puerto Rican queen and Miss Congeniality from Season 8 is back, and fans are ready for more of her humor and heart. And don’t forget Alyssa Hunter, another Puerto Rican powerhouse who left Season 14 too soon. This time, she’s here to show she’s more than just a pretty face.

Ginger Minj completes the Latina lineup. With her Puerto Rican and Irish heritage, she’s one of the most experienced queens in the show. Having already competed in Season 7, All Stars 2, and 6, she’s back for another chance at the crown. Campy, clever, and a total pro, Ginger just might catch everyone off guard.

Why This Season Counts
No Latina queen has ever won All Stars, which is surprising considering how much our queens have contributed to Drag Race, from charisma and style to comedy and unforgettable acts. Season 10 feels different. There’s a lot more representation, more visibility, and a genuine chance for a Latina to claim the title. The energy is electric, the stakes are even higher, and the Latinas are bringing their A-game. We’re keeping a close eye as more episodes drop. Stay tuned, because things are about to get good.
