RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars (season 1)

The first season of ''RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars'' premiered on the Logo network on October 22, 2012. Contestants from the original ''RuPaul's Drag Race'' show returned to compete again. Cast members were announced on August 6.''RuPaul's All Stars Drag Race: Meet the Queens''
from ''www.newnownext.com'' 6 August 2012

This season features 12 returning contestants representing all four seasons. It aired six one-hour episodes. Contestants were judged on their "charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent" and, since they competed in teams of two, also "synergy". The winner received a supply of MAC cosmetics, a "one of a kind trip" and $100,000.RuPaul's All Stars Drag Race Premiere: Never Too Early to Throw Shade

The first episode introduced several changes to the rules for the All Stars competition. Queens competed in teams of two, determined by the contestants themselves. Both members of the losing team would be eliminated each week. The bottom two teams chose one member to "lip synch for their lives". The non-lip synching teammates had the option during the first minute of the performance to declare a "she-mergency", hit a panic button and "tag in" to complete the performance. Mimi Imfurst and Pandora Boxx teamed up to form "Team Mandora", Tammie Brown and Nina Flowers teamed up to form "Team Brown Flowers", Latrice Royale and Manila Luzon teamed up to form "Team Latrila", Yara Sofia and Alexis Mateo teamed up to form "Team Yarlexis", Raven and Jujubee teamed up to form "Team Rujubee" and Shannel and eventual winner Chad Michaels teamed up to form "Team Shad". RuPaul dedicated the first episode in memory of Sahara Davenport, a former competitor in season 2 of RuPaul's Drag Race who died due to heart failure.

The winner of the first season of ''RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars'' was Chad Michaels, with Raven being the runner-up.
