Trixie Mattel was the winner of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race: All-Stars 3’

Fans are in the final stretch of RuPaul’s Drag Race: All-Stars 5, where, in just a few weeks, they’ll find out whose pictures will be hanging in the “Drag Race Hall of Fame.” In true All-Stars fashion, RuPaul invited a few queens back to make an appearance, whether that be as a lip-sync assassin or just to say hi to the competitors.

Most recently, that included Trixie Mattel, the winner of All-Stars 3, who came to talk to the Top 5 after the “Charles Family Backyard Barbeque Ball.” She cracked a few jokes along the way, poking fun at Jujubee and the other queens.

“The glow-up took some time we didn’t really have lace front [wigs] when I was there and now we got them, I got a nice cheek highlight,” Jujubee said to Trixie Mattel of her transformation.

“Well so much has gone down, women’s suffrage, Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin,” Trixie Mattel joked.

Trixie Mattel returned to spill some tea with the ‘All-Stars 5’ competitors

The All-Stars 3 winner asked the queens about the competition, even getting some tea about who was “sweating” the sewing challenge. She also gave reassurance to queens like Miz Cracker who, as she said, gave her a lot of support following her elimination from season 10.

“I just realized that they only brought you here because you are a country girl and we’re having a country picnic and they’re just pigeonholing you,” Miz Cracker said, pointing to Trixie’s country-inspired outfit.

“Do you like how because I play a guitar they think that I’m sitting on an overturned milk bucket like ‘howdy,'” Trixie Mattel replied. “I’m not even from the south, I’m from Wisconsin which is the furthest north. But listen, I’m happy to be here. Maybe I’m also here because I won, Cracker.”
