Episode four starts out with RuPaul telling the girls that the maxi challenge will be them headlining the All Stars 6 Hall of Fame half time show. All the girls will be doing an impersonation of an artist that was once part of the Super Bowl Half Time Show while lip synching a RuPaul song.

The stars they impersonated were:

Ginger – Fergie

Eureka – Madonna

Ra’jah – Diana Ross

Yara – Shakira

Scarlet – Katie Perry

Sonique – Steven Tyler

Jan – Lady Gaga

A’keria – Prince

Pandora – Carol Channing

Trinity – Beyonce

Joining Ru, Michele and Carson on the main stage is Jamal, and the category on the runway is “The Frill of it All.” The winner was Jan, and the bottom two were A’keria and Yara. The Lip Synch assassin was Jessica Wild, who won the lip synch and therefore the groups majority gets the chop, and that was Yara. It was, once again, a pleasure to sit down with Yara for this exclusive Hotspots interview:

How has your life changed since you were on Drag Race the first time?

Everything has changed dramatically due to social media. The show is so much more mainstream now since the first time.

What has been some of your favorite cities to visit as a RuPaul alumni?

I loved Brazil, is the most fun for me.

How exciting was it to get called back to All Stars and did you consider not coming back?

It was very exciting, and I would never not go back as I like it.

How did you prepare differently for All Stars than you did the first time you were on Drag Race?

I made sure we were not going to be in teams, as then I have full responsibility on what I do, and I didn’t have a teammate. Not that there is anything wrong with a teammate, but I think differently than most.

Is there anything you would have done differently?

Nope, I have no regrets.

What challenge or look on All Stars are you most proud of?

I think all of them. I was proud of everything I did and everything I wore. Everything I wore has a story and I don’t want to be disrespectful to any of them.

Now that you have been eliminated, who do you want to win and why?

None of them….LOL!! If I don’t come back, you never know what RuPaul has up her sleeve, I would like to see Sonique win.

What’s ahead for Yara?

I just want to keep doing what I do and enjoy life and enjoy that I have been a part of something this great and big. Have fun, meet people and make the coins.
