RuPaul’s Drag Race: All-Stars 6 included plenty of surprises for fans. There were also a few standout contestants who shared their charisma, in addition to their uniqueness, nerve, and talent. 

There is no Miss Congeniality for this spinoff, but there are some contestants who could’ve earned that title.

RuPaul picks a ‘Miss Congenality’ for ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ 

There can only be one “America’s Next Drag Superstar.” However, the contestants of RuPaul’s Drag Race don’t always leave empty-handed. Almost every season of this reality competition series includes a “Miss Congeniality.” 

For season 6, that meant the terminally delightful BenDeLaCreme. In season 9, that meant the somewhat controversial “Miss Fan Favorite,” Valentina. Sometimes the “Miss Congeniality” of the season is invited back to the Werk Room. 

For season 13’s “Nice Girls Roast,” Heidi N. Closet, Nina West, and Valentina appeared on the runway as the subjects of this challenge. As one of RuPaul’s renowned lip-sync performers, Heidi N. Closet returned as a lip-sync assassin for RuPaul’s Drag Race: All-Stars 6

There are no ‘Miss Congenality’ awards for ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race: All-Stars’

In the spirit of RuPaul’s Drag Race: All-Stars, this season, the contestants took turns eliminating each other. Whoever made it to the finals had a chance at the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar.” Although there is no Miss Congeniality for All-Stars 6, a few queens could’ve potentially snatched the title. 

That includes Silky Nutmeg Ganache, who stole fans’ hearts with her lipsync performances. Pandora Boxx and Yara Sofia also showed their hearts, already earning the “Miss Congeniality” title for their respective seasons.

Of course, competing on RuPaul’s Drag Race: All-Stars has its perks. Queens who returned to the competition showcased their refreshed charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent. Whoever won this got an impressive supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics, a cash prize of $100,000, and a spot in the “Drag Race Hall of Fame.” 

Past winners include Trixie Mattel, Shea Couleé, Monét X Change, and others. Of course, there were some added challenges for these drag performers. For All-Stars 3, contestants appeared before a “Jury of the Queens.” For All-Stars 6, they competed in a “Game Within a Game.”

Some ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race: All-Stars’ queens walk away with other awards

With this added “lip-sync for your legacy” challenge, some All-Stars are awarded a “cash tip” after winning a challenge and defeating the lip-sync assassin. Because some cash tips rolled over, during All-Stars 6, finalist Ginger Minj walked away with $30,000 after winning one lip-sync. 

Miss Congeniality wouldn’t be the only mini award given to another cast member. During RuPaul’s Drag Race season 13, RuPaul announced the “Lip-Sync Assassin of the Season” title was up for grabs, with LaLa Ri and Denali competing for this bonus category. Denali snatched the title.

Episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race: All-Stars 6 are available for streaming on Paramount+.
