RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 5 finale is about to air, at 8 p.m. ET on VH1 tonight (Friday, July 24).

R ... U ... ready? It's time to watch RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 5 finale. Yes, tonight is the last episode of the season and the VH1 reality show will crown one of the three remaining queens as the All Stars winner. 

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 5 has featured all the drama, glamour and sass you know and love about the franchise. It brought back the franchise's most memorable queens, all vying to prove to Mama Ru why they deserve the crown, the $100,000 prize and a coveted spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame.

This season, a shocking new twist  changed how the queens were eliminated. At the end of each episode, RuPaul named the challenge winner and the bottom-performing queens. The All Star lip synced for her legacy against a Lip Sync Assassin from a previous season. If the All Star won the lip sync, she got a $10,000 tip and the power to eliminate one of the bottom queens. However, if the returning Lip Sync Assassin won, the eliminated queen was determined after a majority vote by the rest of the contestants. 

Going into the finale, three queens remain: Jujubee, Miz Cracker and Shea Coulee. The latter two have won two challenges each, but it's really any one's tiara to win. 

Ru has really been there for us in these difficult pandemic times, blessing us with RuPaul's Drag Race season 12 and RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race (both of which wrapped up recently). And RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 5 really has been a show stopper, no surprise there.
