'RuPaul's Drag Race': Judge Ricky Martin ends up stealing the show with fans saying he looks 'like a snack'
Spoilers ahead
'RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars' Season 5 is already a hit with fans and maybe Ricky Martin had something to do with it. Fans are loving him on the judges' panel and didn't hold back from expressing their love for him. The Puerto Rican singer-actor watched every performance with equal enthusiasm and awe — especially the last one where queen India Ferrah and lip-sync assassin Yvie Oddly battled it out in the elimination. No, India wasn't in the bottom two. In fact, she won the first challenge.
RuPaul Andre Charles changed the rules a bit this season. Now, the winner gets to walk home with prize money and power to choose a bottom-ranked queen for elimination if she is able to best the lip-sync assassin — a returning queen who will make an appearance just for the last segment of each episode. Failing to do so, a bottom queen picked from a secret group vote gets axed.
Derrick Barry was shown the doors in the maiden episode. At the moment, nine queens remain in the race — Alexis Mateo (Season 3, All-Stars 1), Blair St Clair (Season 10), India (Season 3), Jujubee (Season 2, All-Stars 1), Mariah Paris Balenciaga (Season 3), Mayhem Miller (Season 10), Miz Cracker (Season 10), Ongina (Season 1) and Shea Couleé (Season 9) — who will be fighting it out in the coming weeks to earn a spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame and a $100,000 prize.
Meanwhile, fans cannot stop gushing about how charming Ricky looked the entire show. "I've been waiting forever for #RuPaulsDragRaceAllStars and them adding Ricky Martin into the mix just made the premier so much more worth the wait #AllStars5," a fan commented while another shared: "In 2020, I never thought I would say I'm watching Ricky Martin on my TV screen.
