RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 finale: a record nobody expected
It seems like every season, RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars serves up something unforgettable, but All Stars 10 has left fans with a record no one saw coming. Despite all its glitz and glam, this season's finale hit a historical low in ratings. Can you believe it?
A finale packed with energy and surprise
Ready or not, fans were in store in a fierce lip-sync battle like no other. A star-studded lineup, featuring standout performances from queens like Aja, Bosco, Daya Betty, and Ginger Minj had everyone talking. Even wildcard Kerri Colby came out swinging, adding intensity and drama. But it all came down a thrilling showdown between Ginger and Jorgeous, who battled it out with “It's Raining Men.” After four tries, Ginger finally took home that crown.
Viewer ratings: a rollercoaster ride
Here's where it gets tricky. While Ginger's victory had everyone buzzing, ratings tell a different story. As per The Wrap, viewership looked promising, with numbers climbing 11% from last season's finale. But over on IMDb, fans weren't as impressed, rating it just 2.3 out 10. Talk about a mixed bag!
What are fans saying?
Reactions from fans are all over place. Some pointed fingers at editing and rushed crowning. One viewer mentioned, "The lip-sync editing was just all over," while others missed seeing their favorites on that grand finale runway. Another disappointed fan summed up their thoughts by saying, "It could've been an email." Ouch! Many have even branded All Stars 10 as "probably worst season yet."
Comparing past seasons: hits and misses
If we rewind back, All Stars season seven stands out as everyone's favorite, especially with its incredible Snatch Game moments featuring Jinkx Monsoon as Judy Garland. And let's not forget The Vivienne's unforgettable impersonations. On flip side, Drag Race's original series hit a low during its Zoom reunion in season 13. Yet, it bounced back with an epic reunion in season 16. Funny how TV goes up and down, right?
Ginger Minj responds
Amid all backlash, Ginger Minj shared her thoughts with Entertainment Weekly. She felt like she was caught in a "witch hunt" and admitted hearing negative stuff does sting. "How can it not?" she shared. "You pour your heart and soul in something, and then…" Despite all noise, she remains proud her win and hard work. It's tough balancing what fans want with showbiz decisions, don't you think?
Let us know your thoughts!
As All Stars 10 continues streaming on Paramount+ and WOW Presents Plus, debate rages on. What did you make this finale? We want you jump in and share your thoughts—and remember, let's keep chat respectful and fun. Can't wait hear what everyone's got say!
