RuPaul’s Drag Race: Global All Stars is a reality competition featuring drag queens from worldwide Drag Race franchises, often called the “Olympics of Drag.” Each week includes a runway and challenges like comedy, design, or dance. Queens invest heavily in outfits, often spending thousands. While franchises like Drag Race Canada (judged by Brooke Lynn Hytes) or Drag Race Philippines (judged by Mama Pao) thrive locally, RuPaul-judged franchises, including GAS, draw larger audiences. The first GAS season faced criticism for favoring English-speaking queens over ESL contestants, though some foreign queens valued the exposure despite early eliminations.
You’re a drag queen from a foreign franchise invited to GAS. With a medium budget from your community, some sewing skills, and only your flight covered, you’ll need to plan strategically.
