How the ‘All Stars 10’ bracket format could save ‘Global All Stars’

Can “bracketology” fix RuPaul’s Drag Race Global All Stars?

The 10th season of RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars wrapped up last week, with veteran Ginger Minj snatching the crown to be inducted into the Drag Race hall of fame.

All Stars has gone through many iterations over the last 10 seasons, but the most recent tournament-style bracket system showed a version of the competition series that truly works.

Resident Drag Race herstorian Kevin O’Keeffe breaks down the changes that need to be made if World of Wonder decides to bring back Global All Stars—and how the bracket-ized format of All Stars 10 could very well address them.
