- EW’s exclusive sneak peek at the next AS10 episode sees juicy drama explode over points.
- Tina Burner feels duped over “f—ing bulls—” scheme: “Lydia did me dirty.”
- Mistress Isabelle Brooks tells a “white lie” the following day, and sparks fly in the Werk Room.
Will RuPaul’s Drag Race justice finally be done to forgive the sins of the drag queens who committed the Great Betrayal of Nicole Paige Brooks From Atlanta, Ga.? Entertainment Weekly‘s exclusive (and explosive) sneak peek at the upcoming All Stars 10 episode has the answer (and, to quote Nicole, there’s definitely some “malicious gay f—-try” afoot).
In the aftermath of not one — but two — episodes that saw the season 2 alum and season 14’s Kerri Colby shafted on the points board, EW’s preview of Friday’s dramatic installment (below) kicks off with last week’s bottom-placing queens processing the way season 15’s Mistress Isabelle Brooks doled out the remaining points at the top of last week’s bracket competition.
“There’s only three spots, and I wasn’t too happy with how things went down last week because I believe people do deserve a fighting chance, so it’s anyone’s game,” season 13’s Tina Burner observes of the rankings, which saw both Mistress and season 14 and All Stars 9 alum Jorgeous leading the pack with 4.5 points each following a shared victory.
“Right now, it’s not. They’re leaps and bounds ahead of us,” Tina states.
In a confessional, however, the New York City queen gets a bit spicier, saying, “Honey, last week, the points were given away shady as f—.”

With Jorgeous and Mistress unable to distribute points this week, Tina sees an opportunity to right the wrongs of the recent past, with Nicole agreeing: “We’re not giving y’all none!” she exclaims.
The presentation of the points continues, with Nicole gifting one to Kerri, Kerri presenting a point to Lydia Butthole Kollins, Tina giving hers to Nicole, and Lydia — much to Tina’s dismay, after her perceived alignment with the season 17 star — apologizing as she bumped Kerri up in the rankings with her point.
“This is f—ing bullshit. These girls must be really scared of me,” Tina admits in a confessional. “The fact that Lydia did me dirty is not something I saw coming.”
Later, Lydia says that “sometimes you’ve got to play a little dirty” in Drag Race All Stars, though Tina’s frustration still carries over into the next day.
As the queens walk back into the Werk Room, Tina wastes no time filling Lydia in on why she was hurt by the strategic move.
“I gave Nicole that point because she deserved it. I thought we were here to uplift each other, especially after the week prior. Lydia took that chance to play the game. I didn’t see it coming, so it made me change how I feel about you in this competition,” Tina says.
But, when Lydia attempts to explain herself, Tina shushes her.
“Wait, let me finish talking,” Tina says. “I don’t think we should just cut me off. This is the tournament of champions, not the tournament of alliances. I want to see everyone have a fair fight. So, it was a personal blow.”
While Lydia voices her reasoning, Mistress — firmly in her congenial era — chimes in with a “little white lie,” as she calls it in a confessional, that immediately upends the dynamic in the room.
“Y’all both told me and Jorgeous that y’all were going to pull the same thing [that Jorgeous and I did] on Kerri and Nicole. Tina did!” Mistress says, smiling. An incensed Tina adamantly pushes back, denying the accusation — though Kerri seems unswayed by Tina’s pleas to the contrary.
The editors, however, jump in on Tina’s behalf, splicing in a hilariously shady bit of footage that reminds the audience it was, indeed, Mistress who proposed in last week’s Untucked that “Y’all have to do the same thing we did to them” and “leave them with 0 points” so “they won’t be able to catch up.”
Mistress doubles down, despite Tina’s protests, maintaining to her sisters back in the Werk Room that “Tina tried it so nasty” with the scheming plot.
It’s Mama RuPaul, however, who interrupts the bickering, as she steps in to introduce this week’s Rusical challenge: a her-storic pseudo sequel to Ru’s 2007 independent film Starrbooty, during which Ru will reprise her role and the competing queens will split into two groups to portray members of dueling groups: the Booty Squad and the Evil Agents of Puss.
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 10 continues Friday on Paramount+. Watch the queens clash over points drama and Mistress’ shady lie in EW’s exclusive preview above.
