It's atrocious how the editors have dismissed many storylines and moments that are crucial for the pacing of the episodes for the 40 min runtime, the runways being shown for no more than 18 seconds it's a straight up f you to the queens who have spent a lot to showcase their looks, the storytelling it's non existent as they don't allow time to develop and the intriguing moments totally get compressed in an impossible way to care to follow the story.
I'm heavily disappointed in the way this season is being handled from that side, also the CLEAR favoritism to RuPaul-Led seasons (US, UK & DU) I wouldn't be shocked if the queens from those franchises make it to the finale.
This could have been a game changer, a restart of the franchise with such a special and talented cast, but as always drag race making moves based off on contracts and fabricated stories.
The stars Im giving are just because the queens deserve better and I can tell this season will be WILD with the way the fans react to the shenanigans that will happen in the upcoming weeks anyways #TeamGalaVaro.

Just horrible. Everything was wrong. Horrible editing, horrible storylines, horrible judging. Really, really bad!
Why was this episode so short ? We had a BALL with 12 queens, and only 40 minutes of episode ??? Whats the point of this ? We're supposed to see the looks! HORRIBLE JUDGING! Why the judges decisions were all over the place ? Why there's a clear favoritism for the queens that were previously judged by Ru ? And even worse, in the preview of the next episode (at the end of this episode), they showed spoilers of the queens who were receiving the critics, and the possible bottom queens! The level of unprofessionalism and amateurism in this entire episode/production/editing is far too much!

The episodes need to be way longer!
Many storylines missing. I feel like I haven't gotten to know a few of the international queens because of the editing. Athena did not deserve to go home. The clear favoritism towards US, CN, UK, Down Under is obvious because how is Kitty not in the bottom? Tessa? Many choices & not Athena! I want every queen to have a chance but the production, editing, & the judges are not helping.
I was excited for Global AllStars but this judging on this episode is not it. The judges need to understand that Drag is different in every country & the judging should not be based on the US standards.

Was all the budget spent on the plane tickets to get the queens there? Why only 42 minutes?? We have 12 great queens, 36 looks, lots of storylines to explore, many queens have won or been in the bottom for design challenges before and they only adressed it shortly and ignored others... loved the ball theme, it's never been done on drag race before and it's a great one, but the runways were so short, I had to pause it to see the look. The untucked seemed interesting, but they cut it out most of it, the girls were actually fighting, show the drama. The judging? Atrocious. Kitty safe? Miranda low? Athena bottom? Come on, at least put Kitty low so the favoritism isnt so obvious. Alyssa, Kween Kong and Kitty are probably already locked for the finale already and if it is a top 4, one of the International girls can make it, and I'll be rooting for the international queen (even though they probably wont win). They can keep the 200.000 dollars and stuck in that place since they wont be judging the girls fairly at all this season. This could've been so iconic, the actual olympics of drag, but they gotta make sure UK and US always come on top.
Great season so far. There were a lot of looks that were pretty impressive. There is a few questionable judging aspects of the episode (season) but it was still pretty good. Each queen is bringing their unique looks to the show and I am very happy to see queens representing their country (franchise).
Watching the other franchises, I can see where the judging may be a little more skewed. That being said, I know that from watching the other franchises, there have been moments of sharper critiques for some of the queens but they also have given praise to the same queens. I think it would be better to haved the other franchise judges be part of the panel (which I believe was one of the announcements).
