RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars

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.

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.

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..."

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.
