These fans are sad.
givemegnow7 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Because someone mad a power move you didn't agree with you 1 star the episode? Good God girl get a grip. Did Manila deserve to go home? No. Has Manila been open in multiple episodes about the advantages of playing a competitive game and how she's cool with it? Abso-fu**ing-lutely. Was Naomi's lipsync iconic? Yeah. Gooped. It's just men in wigs, it's just drag don't be so damn serious and put in this energy you lot seem to have for trashing things and try do something positive in the real world instead. Life's not fair.

Unbelievable season
wwells-120749 July 2022
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!!!!!

Pure joy
mbelavic-2073828 May 2022
This show is truly outstanding. It always stays fresh and there's so many twists and turns. Sometimes it's crazy, sometimes heartfelt. The queens are a joy to watch, most of them are talented out of this world. It is fun to watch their interactions and how they work under pressure. New season (All Winners) is fantastic, as everyone is already a legend and they bring it every single time, and all of them are supportive of each other and their whole community.

Tens of thousands across the board!
paulied-496633 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Paulied-49663 IMO the BEST season of RPDR Regular and All Star seasons combined. This particular season is All Stars All Winners which we all know has been wildly anticipated for a while, and the build up the buzzing rumors and overall "detail free" start was worth the wait so much that if I could have fed my television quarters to watch, I would have gladly bought a ticket every week! The enormous ENORMOUS amount of talent this group of queens possess will leave even a new viewer face cracking jaw dropping-lie gagged through the entire binge worthy experience.

Because each queen has alreadv won a previous season, they were all calm, cool, collected and pressure free. I don't want to spoil but I have to note that, No one goes home and that alone alleviates so much anxiety and pressure from each contestant, (reminding us that All Stars rules tend to change season to season with fresh new twists etc.) this is my favorite part... They ALL are so ready so rested so prepared so tuned and toned to perfection. And this too is my favorite part lol... they all get along so beautifully that it's just pure entertainment on a Broadway level for us at home. We don't need any of that nonsense or drama we want talent and jaw dropping entertainment and it delivers from episode one to the finale. Do yourselves a favor and do not miss season 7 of all stars all winners!

Season Two Seems Fixed
louisdhoore30 September 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I feel like every All-Stars series is fixed. In season one, it was easily geared towards Chad Michaels to earn the crown. Now, we can all see that Ru and the judging panel wants Alaska Thunderfvck 5000 to win. In the earlier part of this season (as well as season five of the normal Drag Race show), Alaska was judged fairly with the rest of the queens. In this last episode (RuPaul's Fish Tank), Alaska's advertisement wasn't nearly as humorous as Alyssa's, or even Tatianna's (who was in the bottom). Her runway wasn't as fierce as Tati's, Detox's, or even Roxxxy's. I was once a fan of Miss Thunderfvck in the competition, but now, it just seems that the producers have it set so she wins everything she possibly can. I wish the judges would go back to judging on the substance and beauty of these queens, rather than simply doing whatever Logo asks them to do.

Not a fair game and that spoils some of the fun..
Cregadnur16 March 2018
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..

Rigga Morris's All Stars
edicionccq28 November 2019
Warning: Spoilers
RuPaul's Drag Race reaches a level of success than an All Stars spin-off was almost mandatory. That's why after S4; Logo Network premiered the first season of "All Stars edition" with the most beloved contestants from S1 to S4. This season was a success in the concept but a disaster in execution. A few years pass by and season 2 premieres in 2016 with the most amazing cast so far. This season was a success in every single way so season 3 was premiered two years after and a fourth season almost a year after.

After the years the show has been criticized for many things but in the recent years you can see that being a pretty rigged competition is the most obvious and unforgivable of all.

Season 1 and 2 are rigged for the winner but at least you could say they were the rightful winner after all. But season 3 and 4 are just nuts. The winners win by some failure of a better queen. Just a mistake and the absolute winner were sending home.

The show is decent if you want to see previous queens from the Drag Race show competing again. But you will have to accept this game isn't fair and the worst part, you can judge RuPaul for this. You can only blame the contestants because the format causes them look like the bad guys.

Terrible Format, Boring Show
ericsuwall4 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I've enjoyed RPDR over the years, but All Stars is generally terrible. Season one was awful, seasons 2 & 3 were fair, but season 4 has been a train wreck. Minala Luzon's elimination has pretty much ensured that I'll never watch this iteration again. Winning All Stars is not based on skill or talent, which is the entire reason that Drag Race was a fun show to watch. This show is a disservice to drag, and successful queens should refuse to participate.

Talented contestants can be eliminated
amyisraelchai22 August 2020
The strongest contestants can be eliminated by vote. It's pointless to watch it. I want to see talented people competing. RuPaul and the other judges should be the only judges.

All Stars 4 - Worst All Stars
jiggslipuff16 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The twist in All Stars 3 should have been in place this season. Trinity sure deserves the crown but Monet is just a piece of trash just like her old used sponge. People should no longer patronise future All Stars. It's getting worse season after season.

Why are the new episodes NEVER available on Prime in a timely manner???
kimmeboo-140032 February 2019
I'm a die hard fan and I purchase every season on Amazon Prime. With each new season it takes longer and longer to get the newest episode. I'm paying for this content and not receiving it as promised. I guess I will just go to the watch parties at the bar.... thoroughly pissed!!

All Stars 8
manTOman2 June 2023
What am I watching here, one thing is sure this is NOT All Stars cause the whole cast is so lame. This should named Rupauls Leftovers Drag Show. This is so bad, makes you grins rather than laugh.

But in the name of fairness if you are good what you do,you have career and you are too busy to work.

Without knowing you would think this is drag queens that was voted to leave 1st of the seasons they took part of.

But I guess for die hard fans its great entertainment but not for me

Season 7 was fantastic but this one.....pure. Solid gould.

Maybe these shows are pushed too much on the market, mayne once a year would be enough.

This season ruined it for me
dkeefe-852799 February 2019
I loved drag race but this game makes the queens I loved just look petty. " I wanna win. Screw being fair." Done with it.

This format just ruins it for me.

Longtime Fan..but S6.. I'm done
wbsimsjr-3240524 August 2021
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..

How Commerce Can Turn something Good into something Bad
Brachvogel11 August 2022
I've seen all episodes of Rupaul's Drag Race and I love every one of them. It's such a great format for me because no matter how competitive it gets, no matter how low the blows among the contestants are, in the end there is only one person who decides: the beautiful, loving and wise Rupaul. No one would ever dare to second guess the decision of the founder and icon of the Drag Race.

The All Stars format counteracts just about everything I love about Drag Race. It's a producer's concept aiming for high viewing figures. They gather former Drag Race contestants who have gained the biggest fan community and let them decide among eachother who has to leave. The result is a social carnage that breaks my heart in two ways:
  • that almost every drag queen jumps over the stick and descents into the lowlands of human behaviour
  • and that the admirable and lovingly Rupaul has agreed to this.


This show concept aims to reality show drama - so much that it spoils for me the wide range of creativity shown.

Is this really necessary? As a fan I say no. On the producer's perspective I can only speculate that they have an urge to gain (even!) more revenue by adding more social voyeurism to the Drag Race equation.

Shame to everyone who falls for this!

Availability!!!
dancinggator3 February 2019
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!!

If I paid for the full season it should not take 2+ days after the air date to see the latest episode
daniellecross-513793 February 2019
I love this show, however... I paid full price for a whole season, so how is it that it aired on Friday and it's still not available on Sunday? Pretty sketchy. Also I live and work in NYC so spoilers already got me. I am obviously not happy. Not sure if it's VH1 or Amazon to blame but they really effed over the fans who cared enough to spend money. Last note, premiering this show on a Friday night was also a terrible idea.

really not for me
djurrepower20 September 2021
It's drama, followed up by a short segment of performances, and back to drama. If you're into that, sure. But almost no time is spend on the preperations of the performances let alone the costume making. So it's just drama on top of drama.

2/10: be warned.
