Episode S1E2 of Canada's Drag Race All Stars, titled "Song of the Summer", staged a soccer-themed mini-challenge and a girl-group maxi-challenge rather than surprise eliminations. Priyanka brought a video message from Canadian soccer star and Olympic gold medalist Julia Grosso to kick off the mini-challenge, which had each queen attempt ten saves against striker Elliott; Nearah saved all ten and won the mini-challenge and CA$2,500 courtesy of BMO. The episode opened with a vote-count reveal from the prior elimination: four votes for Juice, two for Jackie, and none for Nearah, who apologized for earlier mistakes. American YouTuber and singer Rebecca Black served as guest judge; the recap notes she has 1.5 million YouTube subscribers and the video for her 2011 song "Friday" has 181 million views, and that her new album Age of the Exhibitionist is due in September. For the maxi-challenge the queens split into two girl groups with captains Nearah and Pythia; Nearah picked Aurora, Tiffany, and Juice and assigned them "Diva Down", while Pythia picked Makayla and Sami and was joined by Jada, who chose the song "Body Tea" for her group. The episode ends with the groups preparing to perform their songs of the summer, setting up which performers will be judged next.
