Ep 1. All-Star Variety Show

The third season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars premieres with the episode titled All-Star Variety Show. The episode begins with the ten returning queens being introduced on the main stage and revealing their new looks to the judges. The queens have all come back for a second chance to win the All Stars title and to prove that they have what it takes to be crowned the ultimate drag superstar.

The first challenge of the season is to perform in a variety show, where the queens must showcase their unique talents to impress the judges. The judges for this season are RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Ross Mathews, and special guest judges who will join them throughout the season.

Each queen has three minutes to showcase their talent, and they can choose to do anything from singing to dancing, comedy, lip-syncing, or even a magic trick. The queens have been given complete creative freedom to showcase their talents in any way they want; some of them are nervous, while others are confident and ready to put on a show-stopping performance.

The All-Star Variety Show proves to be a roller coaster ride of emotions for the queens and the judges as the performances range from hilarious to jaw-dropping, and everything in between. Some of the standout performances include a lip-sync extravaganza to a song from RuPaul's new album, a hilarious comedy routine, and a death-defying aerial silk performance.

As the judges deliberate on who will be the winner of the challenge, tensions start to rise between some of the queens. The competition is fierce, and some of the queens feel like they are being overlooked or dismissed by the others. However, RuPaul reminds them that they are all there for a reason, and they should focus on their own performance rather than what the others are doing.

The episode ends with the judges announcing the winner of the challenge and the bottom two queens who will have to lip-sync for their lives. The tension is palpable as the two queens give it their all, but ultimately, one queen is asked to sashay away from the competition.

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 3 episode 1, All-Star Variety Show is an incredible start to the season that is full of drama, talent, and unforgettable performances. The returning queens are all at the top of their game and prove that they are some of the most talented drag performers in the world.
