Warning: This article contains spoilers for the season premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 7.
The first all-winners edition of RuPaul's Drag Race just added an Emmy winner to its roster of superstar champions... sort of.
After teasing the identity of a "secret" queen who made a surprise sashay into the All Stars 7 Werk Room while wearing a large hat at the end of the cast's official entrances, the queen lifted her brim to reveal a fan-favorite icon from the show's her-story.
"Losing is the new winning," said OG contestant Raven as AS7 contestants Raja, Jinkx Monsoon, Yvie Oddly, Monét X Change, Trinity The Tuck, Jaida Essence Hall, The Vivienne, and Shea Couleé watched in shock.
Later, in a confessional, Raven observed that she "did not win season 2" and "did not win All Stars 1" because she "was robbed robbed, twice."
"A lot of queens may not think that I belong in a winners competition," she continued, "but I do identify as a winner. Suck it!"

Jaida pointed out the distinction that she is an Emmy winner for her work on RuPaul's makeup throughout the years, which Mama Ru also called out when she entered the room to kick off the season.
"Wait a minute. Raven, what are you doing here?" she asked, calling Raven out of the official lineup to nix her from the competition, confirming that the "reveal" was indeed a gag. "Raven, what part of 'All Stars, all-winners' do you not understand?"
Referencing the iconic Joan Crawford biopic Mommie Dearest, Raven responded: "Fine, I'll go. Ru, walk me to my car?" before the host denied her request, and instead answered it with, of course, a slap to the face.
