RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars

Ah, Global All Stars--the Olympics of drag where queens from all over the world come together to battle it out for the crown. Or at least, that's what the marketing says. What we actually get is more like "RuPaul's Drag Race USA, UK and Friends (But Mostly USA and UK)!" If you're hoping for a fair competition where queens from all corners of the world get an equal shot at glory, grab yourself a drink and lower those expectations right now.

Let's talk about the designated stars of the season: the queens who have already strutted their stuff under Mama Ru's gaze. I've never seen a production be this determined to push a Top 3 from day one. It's truly a letdown watching international queens pour their heart and soul into the competition, only to get completely overlooked-even when they've objectively crushed it. The whole thing is uncomfortably familiar for anyone who's not a native English speaker. Real shame to see it on THE show that boasts inclusivity, equality and fair treatment.

Still, don't get me wrong. The lip syncs are cute, the fashion is fierce, and you'll be entertained... until the judges have their pick. Because come what may on that stage, you can almost hear the producers whispering in Ru's ear, "This is Global All Stars, but, like, don't forget, America's watching..."

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.

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 *!

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.

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.
