RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars

I love love love Rupaul's Drag Race! It's my guilty pleasure and I have watched all the seasons available on Netflix several times. Therefore, I would naturally assume that I would love All Stars as well.

Unfortunately the formula has changed. Rupaul does not function as the omnipotent "ruler". Instead she gives much of the responsibility of the decision making to the competing queens. This opens up the opportunity for some really unfair and biased decisions. Do the queens judge on critiques, track record, or friendship? Ultimately we are left with a show that looses a lot of its fun due to the added drama and unfairness of the queens making the decisions.

The game also seems somewhat fixed at times with some queens finding themselves at a disadvantage and others with all the "good parts".

All in all, I really do not appreciate All Stars as much as I do Drag Race. All Stars mostly leaves me a bit frustrated and disappointed. Having said that, underneath the "new formula" there's still that resemblance to Drag Race and its funny and ridiculous challenges that I love. So you still get something out of it. Whether that is enough I don't know.

For a Drag Race fan, All Stars is almost inevitable, but I wish the show would be based on a more fair judging and challenges..

It's getting so predictable on winners since rpdr season 11!

If I can't watch the show how in the hell am I supposed to LOVE IT?!?!? I got rid of cable and I pay for the seasons on Amazon. HOWEVER, it's 3 days after the episode aired and I still have no way of viewing it!!

I've been a avid watcher of most, if not all of the RuPaul shows..even some of the foreign variations... Now that the show is main-stream and Mr. Charles is rollin' in the dough...the show is just making too many concessions.. There is always a decision made that fans won't be thrilled about..then there's those "judgements" that make no sense... and those are far more frequent than not.. Now.. I will lay some things out that are my opinion and they will not be P. C., but it is my feeling as a consumer of the show.. One of the more mundane gripes.. Contestants that come out on stage with appalling workmanship of their costumes.. And receive High praise, while another gets beat for a loose thread... Now, having packed on a few pounds myself, I can not do what a thinner person can do, nor would I expect anyone to excuse me for it.. So in the spirit of competition, how can one judge the performance of a large person, over a thin person, without a specific set of criteria that equalize their chance.. I can't see any. Performances certainly do not reveal a methodology to a large contestant, doing a few splits and waving "hi-hi" over n over and occasionally moving the mouth, besting a thinner performer doing some dancing and actual lip syncing.. I'm all in on inclusion, but make it fair, unbiased and apparent why one beat the other.. The franchise once was a great watch, underground feeling.. But I just see a real mess now..

I love this show and I have to say- this season of all stars all winners is probably the best produced, executed, funny, entertaining and enjoyable show ever. Consider a skit from "Auntie Mame" it speaks so loudly about acceptance, tolerance and humor-and i loved the skit about Julia Sugarbaker- Well Done- oh and by the way i used to party at Weekends in Atlanta, when you were dancing on speakers and just breaking through- love your success. So proud for our community.

Rock on!!!!!
