Rutger published: RuPaul Awards Raven the Drag Race Crown in All Stars 10: A Long-Awaited Victory

After waiting nearly 15 years, Drag Race fans finally got what they've been hoping and campaigning tirelessly—Raven, one beloved standout from RuPaul's Drag Race, was crowned. In a thrilling episode on All Stars 10, Raven snagged her crown during an unexpected Snatch Game twist, sending her supporters overjoyed.

A memorable Snatch Game twist

This latest All Stars 10 episode brought with it a special flair, featuring Raven and Raja—her partner in crime on Fashion Photo RuView, and another Drag Race alum—as guests on what many consider a highlight: Snatch Game. Known and loved by fans, this challenge brings humor and spot-on celebrity impersonations that never fail in entertainment.

Episode ten became a turning point as winners from three different All Stars 10 groups faced off together in a tense semi-final. The Snatch Game challenged kicked off this critical stage, and though several queens managed impressive imitations, some performances didn't quite hit.

Ginger Minj stood out with her Reba McEntire impression, and Jorgeous brought some fire with a Pitbull impersonation. Unfortunately, Cynthia Lee Fontaine's Dracula and Mistress Isabelle Brooks' Natalie Nunn didn't quite make it, landing them among those at risk.

Raven's long-awaited crowning

While those battling it out delivered some great acts, Raven's crowning was truly unforgettable. At Snatch Game's conclusion, RuPaul announced Raven as a winner, a moment that thrilled fans who've always seen her as a top contender in Drag Race lore.

Although RuPaul has a tradition during Snatch Game where non-competing guests get crowned, Raven's win meant so much more. She's been runner-up not once but twice: first losing out on season two and then again in 2012's All Stars premiere season. Fans have argued passionately that she deserved a victory, and this gesture felt like long-overdue recognition.

Raven's enduring legacy

Raven's not just a memorable contestant but a true Drag Race powerhouse, working closely with RuPaul as her makeup artist. Her supporters have never stopped pushing her case, especially given controversies around season two's original winner, Tyra Sanchez.

Tyra's faced quite a few scandals, including a major protest in 2023. Their past actions, including some troubling online posts, have led many in Drag Race circles saying Raven's really owed that original crown.

While RuPaul's Snatch Game nod isn't an official title change, it sent waves through Drag Race fandoms. Fans took over social media, celebrating Raven's moment and showing her endless support.

A fan victory

Once that episode aired, social media lit up. Words cracked loud with joy—“Raven finally getting that season 2 crown was Snatch Game's best part,” and “The true WINNER! As it always should've been.” Voices cheered: “Our rightful queen, crowned at last. Congratulations, RAVEN!”

Though unofficial, this crowning felt like a win not just cheering Raven but highlighting ongoing talks about fairness and accolades in Drag Race circles.

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 continues its run on Fridays, streaming on Paramount+ in America and WOW Presents Plus around more corners. The show keeps spotlighting drag's art and culture, packed with surprises and those never-to-forget moments each season.

We're eager, as ever, about your thoughts. Share them below. Let's keep it positive and full-hearted as we celebrate such dazzling talent in our Drag Race family.
