All-Stars 10: Episode 5 Rucap

We’re back for Week 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 10, and baby — what a week it was. Bracket 2 is proving to be the messiest, most chaotic group yet, and I’m living for the drama.

The episode kicked off with one of the most diabolical twists we’ve ever seen — and I don’t just mean on All Stars. This level of betrayal? I’ve never seen anything like it in the main franchise. (**Canada? Down Under? Maybe. But this? This was next level.)

The MVQ Betrayal Heard Around the World

So let’s talk about it.

Mistress Isabelle Brooks pulled one of the gaggiest stunts in Drag Race herstory — manipulating the MVQ point system to her full advantage. She convinced Nicole Paige Brooks to give her points. Then tricked Kerri Colby into giving her points to Jorgeous, only for Mistress and Jorgeous to give their points right back to each other.

Like… betrayal isn’t even a strong enough word. That was gameplay. That was strategy. That was a knife to the back served on a silver platter — and poor Nicole and Kerri didn’t see it coming. NPB’s face when she realized what happened? Whew. That was the moment.

Rappin' Roast Realness

But the drama didn’t stop there.

This week’s maxi challenge was something we’ve never seen before: a Rappin’ Roast — a combo of comedy roast and rap performance. And I have to say, I hope this challenge becomes a Drag Race staple, because it was so fun.

Each queen had to roast the other contestants in rap form, and honestly? Everyone brought it.

My personal top three were:

Lydia B. Kollins — she’s just so sharp and quick.

Jorgeous — she was cheeky and surprisingly solid with her flow.

Mistress — of course. She knows how to roast and deliver with conviction.

But let me give flowers where they’re due: Nicole Paige Brooks ate. This challenge really gave her a chance to show her personality, and she didn’t waste a second.

Runway Category & Gagged by Kerri

This week’s runway had some cute looks across the board, but the moment that truly stood out for me was Kerri Colby. That reveal was everything — smooth, controlled, and a real event. I honestly gasped. She may not have made the top, but she served a moment and deserves her props.

Top 2 and a Chappel Roan Showdown

The Top 2 All Stars of the Week were Mistress Isabelle Brooks and Jorgeous, and they battled it out to “HOT TO GO!” by guest judge Chappell Roan — a bop if there ever was one.

Personally, I think Jorgeous absolutely devoured the lipsync. The energy, the moves, the stage presence — it was all there. But Ru made it a double win, giving each queen 1 point and $10K each. I mean... okay. I’m not mad. It’s just giving… production plot twist, but we move.

Scoreboard Update

After this week:

Mistress Isabelle Brooks – 4.5 pts

Jorgeous – 4.5 pts

Lydia B. Kollins – 3 pts

Tina Burner – 2 pts

Nicole Paige Brooks – 0 pts

Kerri Colby – 0 pts

Mistress and Jorgeous are now neck and neck at the top, but things can still shift. One more challenge to go, and these queens are going to have to fight hard if they want to make it to the finale of their bracket.

Next Week: It’s Time for a Rusical!

The next episode teases a Rusical, and if this group’s dramatic energy carries into a musical performance, we are in for a ride. I fully expect tension, unexpected comebacks, and maybe a little more betrayal. (Looking at you, Mistress.)

Until then, clutch your pearls — Bracket 2 isn’t done yet.
