RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars

One episode worse than the other, questionable evaluations and bad decisions. Kitty, Kong, and Alyssa are clearly Ru's favorites. Unfortunately, the fans lose out. The lack of respect for queens is a real stain on the history of drag race. It had everything to be a great season, but unfortunately they didn't know how to put on a good show. I believe that Ru will need to rethink its evaluations or it will lose what keeps it going: its audience. We want a fair game, without any more favoritism, where the queens are valued and have their art evaluated fairly. The "non-rugirls" also deserve recognition. That's a big *!

Any hope of impartial judging and a fair fight has been quickly dispelled in the last couple of episodes (ep. 3 and 4). As some people on social media have astutely pointed out, it is about viewership and Paramount+ getting back as much of its investment in this maiden Global Drag Race as possible. With an American judging panel and production pressure to retain contestants from high viewership countries further into the series (English as first language, higher populations, more liberal), the unceremonious axing of the first two queens is less surprising and the trajectory of the remaining queens become predictable.

My predictions for next contestants to go are: Soa de Muse (underwhelming), Eva Le Queen (can't lip sync to save their lives), Tessa Testicle (amusing but overshadowed), Vanity Vain and Gala Varo. And the last ones standing probably are: Pythia (CAN, creativity only gets one so far), Kween Kong (AUS/NZ, dancing only gets one so far), Nehellenia (ITA, underdog character arc), Kitty Scott-Claus (UK, need I say more) and Alyssa Edwards (USA, duh). What was initially excitement at a global season has deflated into resigned acceptance that diehard fans from around the world will not be getting the Olympics of drag they deserve.

Rupaul only like the english speaker queens, that is not fair in a "global" format, the judges are the same from the US format, they needed to include global judges.

It is so sad because this was a very good idea, but it isnt well excecuted.

The Rupaul concept has overpassed Rupaul herself and she is not listening to the viewers all arround the World and she has to do that because dragrace is bigger now than in the Last 5 years at least, maybe they have to thing about the format they are gonna use and invest more time but i dont think they do because there is a New show just after anoche one.

After watching all seasons of drag race, all stars and many international drag race versions I've never felt the need to write a review. There were some moments of favoritism but it was never too much. However, this global all stars is painful to watch.

The judging feels xenophobic, which for me, a non native speaker who used to live abroad in two English speaking countries, is triggering. It feels that queens from countries where English is not a native language are mistreated and not judged fairly. They don't receive the same opportunities even though they do really good in the competition. Drag race has progressed when it comes to treatment of transesexual or black contestants. However, we cannot forget that there are also Latin or Asian people as well as other backgrounds. Production and judges seem not to care about it and that is painful to watch in a show that is suppsed to be inclusive.

As a long-time fan of RuPaul's Drag Race, I was excited for Global All-Stars, but the editing has made it almost impossible to enjoy. The sound effects, in particular, are completely out of place and poorly timed. During eliminations, it feels like the editor doesn't know when or how to use sound effects-sometimes the wrong sound is played, or two different sound effects overlap awkwardly. It's confusing and makes what should be dramatic moments feel clumsy.

The latest episode featuring the roast was even worse. The background music playing while the queens were delivering their jokes was so loud and distracting that it drowned out the humor. Instead of laughing, I was left feeling uncomfortable and irritated by how the music clashed with the performances. What should have been a highlight of the season was completely ruined by bad editing choices.

I really wanted to enjoy this season, but the editing has made it unwatchable.
