The cast was VERY Ru-led centric, with not much of the world being involved. But 4 episodes in and it has been hit after hit every week. Amazing challenges, cast chemistry, great format. There are a lot of reasons why this season is working and today we are going to dive into all of them!

Description: Intro by: https://www.instagram.com/duartsy/?hl=en Drag Duel: https://www.youtube.com/@DragDuel The Rigged Recap: https://thedragdetective.buzzsprout.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedragdetective Twitter: https://twitter.com/DragDetective Tiktok: tiktok.com/@thedragdetective The excitement and buzz going into RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars was insane. We've had international seasons before like UK Vs the World and Canada Vs the World, but never before had we seen 12 queens from 12 different countries coming together to compete in the Olympics of Drag. But quickly people realized this was not going to be the grand season everyone was expecting. Low budget, poor editing, insane favoritism, and cultural insensitivity ran rampant over the season, and week after week, fans were disappointed. From insane villain edits for Kitty Scott Claus and Kween Kong, to so many international queens being overlooked like Nehellenia, Gala Varo, and Athena Likis, this season has been an absolute dud, and the IMDB ratings are there to prove it. So today we're breaking down every reason why Global All Stars isn't working. What are your thoughts on the season and is there time to change the trajectory? </video> <video> The Riggory of Drag Race All Stars 9 Description: Intro by: https://www.instagram.com/duartsy/?hl=en The Rigged Recap: https://thedragdetective.buzzsprout.com Drag Duel Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/DragDuel Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedragdetective Twitter: https://twitter.com/DragDetective Tiktok: tiktok.com/@thedragdetective RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 9 was a wild ride from start to finish. From the charity twist to nobody going home to the very controversial finale, there was a lot of talk about this season online. So today, we're going to look at every episode of AS9 and talk about what was fair and what was not. We'll look at every lip sync, every top placement, and every twist to determine if All Stars 9 was rigged. Was Angeria's win deserved? Was Roxxxy robbed? Were queens like Jorgeous and Gottmik overlooked? We'll answer all of these questions. Let me know in the comments below what you think the most rigged moment of the season was! 0:00 INTRO 7:31 EPISODE 1 10:53 EPISODE 2 14:00 EPISODE 3 19:30 EPISODE 4 23:46 EPISODE 5 27:57 EPISODE 6 31:44 EPISODE 7 35:04 EPISODE 8 38:03 EPISODE 9 41:53 EPISODE 10 44:19 FINALE </video> <video> Ranking Every Jinkx Monsoon Performance on Drag Race Description: Intro by: https://www.instagram.com/duartsy/?hl=en Drag Duel: https://www.youtube.com/@DragDuel The Rigged Recap: https://thedragdetective.buzzsprout.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedragdetective Twitter: https://twitter.com/DragDetective Tiktok: tiktok.com/@thedragdetective Jinkx Monsoon is one of the most beloved figures to ever come out of RuPaul's Drag Race. The queen of all queens has now appeared on Broadway, on television, and won the hearts of so many. Both her seasons she was a comedic and personality force in the competition, winning many challenges, and snagging many high placements. Today we're going to look at all 23 main episode performances from her time on Drag Race Season 5 and All Stars 7 and rank them from 1-23 based on how well she did. Will her iconic snatch games be at the top? Will I be serving true DELUSIONNN?? Let's find out!

Season 6 of Dragula was a mixed bag of amazing talent, and production shenanigans, so it seemed like the perfect time to talk about it on my Rigged series. We'll go through every floorshow, every extermination, and every twist! From a clear and obvious top 3 in Asia Consent, Grey Matter, and Auntie Heroine, to the overlooking of Yuri throughout the entire season, to claims that Majesty was being pushed, there's a lot to discuss as recent controversy is also coming out about the season. Let me know in the comments below what you think the most rigged moment of the season is! 0:00 INTRO 6:20 EPISODE 1 17:28 EPISODE 2 29:16 EPISODE 3 38:30 EPISODE 4 46:29 EPISODE 5 54:07 EPISODE 6 58:48 EPISODE 7 1:03:17 EPISODE 8 1:07:12 EPISODE 9 1:12:38 EPISODE 10 </video>
