The ninth season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” followed the pattern of Season 7 (the all-winners cycle) in that there were no eliminations. Instead, the challenge victors in each episode would win Beautiful Benefactress Badges, and the three contestants at the end of the competition with the most Badges would duke it out for the ultimate title.
Heading into the grand finale, Roxxxy has the most Badges at five. However, any of the other contestants still have a chance of making it into the Final 3 because of two last-minute twists. First up, the winner of the last challenge, the Variety Extravaganza, will win a whopping three Badges. Also in play is the Double Diamond twist, with all queens voting for who they want to have their Badge totals doubled.
