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.

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.

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.

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..."

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 *!
