Trivia[]

  • All Stars 2 is the first season...
    • ... where a contestant voluntarily leaves the competition.
    • ... where contestants in the bottom do not lip sync for their life.
    • ... to have a total of 10 queens competing for the crown.
    • ... of All-Stars where no contestant from the last aired season is competing (Season 8).
    • ... to host Snatch Game in episode 2.
    • ... to have a lip sync where two queens already eliminated both come back to the competition.
    • ... where a contestant doesn't come back to the Reunion.
    • ... where RuPaul does not have a promo look.
    • ... to not have a Ball challenge.
    • ... where four contestants (Alaska, Detox, Alyssa Edwards and Tatianna) share a challenge win, in episode 5.
  • All Stars 2 is the only All Stars season...
    • ... to have a reunion episode.
    • ... where each contestant won at least one challenge in their original season.
    • ... where the only winners of the lip syncs were from the same season (that season being Season 5).
  • The entire cast didn't placed below 6th place on their original season.
  • This season has the 100th lip-sync.
  • There is a full version of "The Baddest Bitches in Herstory" that includes verses for the historical figures Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, and Frida Kahlo for the queens that left the competition (Coco Montrese, Adore Delano, and Tatianna).
  • The lip-sync assassin of the season is Alaska. She out-performed Katya (twice) and Phi Phi O'Hara.
  • As of June 5th, 2020, half of the cast has over 1 million followers on Instagram (Adore Delano, Alaska, Alyssa Edwards, Detox and Katya), and therefore makes this one of two seasons with the most queens in its cast to have over 1 million followers (followed by All Stars 4).

Notes[]

  1. All of the contestants' historical women were assigned prior to the recording of the show. To make up for the fact that some queens wouldn't be in it, they made the lip-sync song in the way each section could easily be taken out of the final production. Coco Montrese, Tatianna and Adore Delano were going to be assigned Cleopatra, Joan of Arc and Frida Kahlo, respectively.[citation needed]
