RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars

I wanted to share some thoughts about the judging panel for the Global All Star event. Given that it's a global competition, it would make sense to have judges from different parts of the world. Right now, it feels like the judging is heavily influenced by the standards of the US franchise, which doesn't seem fair for a competition meant to be global.

There also seems to be some clear favoritism going on. I know judging can be subjective, but it's starting to feel a bit too obvious, and it's disappointing to see.

I hope this feedback can help make future events more balanced and fair.

Thanks for listening.

If you think that a show with contestants from all over the world would be a safe space and a celebration of diverse cultures, then you're absolutely wrong.

This whole season is nothing but a joke, a waste of everybody's time, an affirmation of stereotypes and an offence to the art of drag and drag artists.

The way some of the queens are being treated, by RuPaul, production and fellow contestants is shocking.

This could've been the best season of all time but sadly is gonna be the worst. Starting by the queen introduction, it would've been better the "reveal yourself" rather than those cringe questions. The talent show had a few questionable decisions and from episode 3 onwards it just went downhill very fast.

Singling out non-native English speakers and grouping the NES was so evident and a clear indication that production wants them to be the top 3. The NNES are being thrown racial stereotypes, offensive remarks and blatant disdain, it hurts to watch.

This is the only season I've felt, from early on, that should've been cancelled.

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.

Only queens that Rupaul knows and has judged before, get major favouritism. They seem to be automatically safe or better. Also, bad stereotypes and no representation of foreign queens backgrounds. If you're not a UK, Australian or American of course, get ready to be made fun of ( u smell like a taco, Marguerita pizza,) and have the hosts join in on it. I like how Ru is pretending to keep it seem 'balanced' a little bit towards the end. Also all the challenges strongly benefit the English speaking queens of course. Like a roast challenge and then an open mic challenge back to back. Please what a joke.

The show could have been incredible, but.

• Jamal Sims as a permanent judge (I like him but as a judge he is lacking).

• Having the typical challenges (reading challenge, snatch game, etc.) puts non-native Engish speaking queens at a dissadvantage.

• Obvious favoritism for the Ru Girls
• Very short episodes, although they could be showing us more of the queen's interactions, etc.

Sad sad sad.

For a global all stars this is just lacking so much. What were the producers expecting? The favoritism is obvious. Did they think we would be okay with it? Obviously it gets people talking about the show but since Alyssa walked in episode 1, I knew she would be the crowned queen.
