Ginger Minj Wins All Stars 10 as Fans Question Production Favoritism

Her crowning concludes the Tournament of All Stars finale with a wildcard reentry followed by seeded lip-sync battles.

Overview

  • RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 10 finale wrapped the franchise’s first Tournament of All Stars format with 18 queens competing across three bracketed rounds.
  • Season 14 alum Kerri Colby returned as the official wildcard before contestants used the reinstated Rate-a-Queen rankings to seed the final lip-sync smackdown.
  • Ginger Minj claimed the $200,000 prize by besting Jorgeous to “It’s Raining Men,” becoming the first Latina and first plus-size champion in the U.S. Drag Race franchise.
  • Her win also tied the record for most Drag Race lip-sync victories and followed a publicly chronicled 160-pound weight loss on Zepbound that resolved her sleep apnea.
  • Fans took to social media to challenge the fairness of her victory, accusing the show of production favoritism and fueling debate over All Stars 10’s format experiments.
