RuPaul's Drag Race is ready to turn up the heat. Yes, season 14 might be endless but just as you're about to say, "has this become too much to stick with", World of Wonder says welcome to the Hunger Games Quarter Quell, where we get winners from the different years to fight it out with each other to see who is the best of the best. Gays are gagging; boyfriends are fighting over allegiances; and we're YouTube spiraling.

Below, we look back at the most epic/iconic lip syncs from each of the winners competing in All Stars 7, in order they appeared on the show.
Raja Sutan, Season 3 Winner

The fashion girl from Season 3 is back. In many ways, reality TV pro Raja (looking at you ANTM fans) changed the Drag Race game. A judges' favorite from the jump, Raja only had to lip sync once, against fellow Heather Carmen.
Jinkx Monsoon, Season 5 Winner

The first iconic comedy queen, Jinkx may have won almost a decade ago, but she remains a fan favorite. Here, she took out big time competition Detox with this hilarious lip sync.
Monét X Change, All Stars 4 Co-Winner

Okay, so this is from her competing on Season 10, and Monet didn't even win this lip sync, yet when you return to it, she probably should have. It's everything. She is performing that song for you. Giving you Lizzo before we even knew Lizzo really.
Trinity "The Tuck" Taylor, All Stars 4 Co-Winner
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smkslmuUhgc
Now for Monet's All Stars 4 co-winner, Trinity. This clip is from when she competed on Season 9 and fans saw what a powerhouse she would become. That hair, that choreo—there's a reason why Trinity has always been on top each time she's competed on the show.
Yvie Oddly, Season 11 Winner
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R8vWKVVR34
This isn't just Yvie's best lip sync, this is one of the most beloved, shocking, gag-worthy lip syncs of all time on the show. She is serving everything here. These two fierce queens would show down once more for the crown, with Yvie taking it.
The Vivienne, UK Season 1 Winner
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGaedjX1kBQ
All hail the Queen! The Vivienne, a polished queen who mixed fashion and comedy, won the very first season of Drag Race UK, and now she's here to show America what's happening across the pond.
Jaida Essence Hall, Season 12 Winner
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eufaoGR7qsE
Look over there! Jaida is back. The controversial winner of Season 12 (shout-out to the GiGi fans) is here to show her win was no fluke. This Covid Season Queen has something to prove on All Stars 7.
Shea Couleé, All Stars 5 Winner
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_x9JDe9A4I
Shea is back to slay. After a shocking Season 9 loss and an All-Stars 5 win, Shea is a true fan favorite and a fierce competitor. These girls better watch out because there's nothing Shea can't do. Even though she has a bunch of great lip syncs, was any moment better than this verse in her Season 9 final four song?
