RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars (TV Series) Super Queen Grand Finale (2019) User Reviews

It's entertainment!

[giovanti · 3/10 · 19 February 2019]

I've watched RPDR since Season 1. I have to keep reminding myself this isn't a "true" competition. Because at the end of the day, the show is entertainment, and selling advertisements, and getting the producers money.

So I could rattle on about the cop-out of 2 winners, rather than 1. I could rattle on about Monet or Trinity not really being of the caliber of Chad Michaels, Alaska or Trixie Mattel. But then I'd be forgetting what the show is really about -- entertainment.

I don't hate that there were 2 winners. But I feel like with this season, they just watered-down All Stars. Almost to the extent Project Runway was reduced to. And consider Project Runway AllStars has been cancelled?

It just felt like they were recycling queens, for the sake of putting them on TV again. Season 1 and 2 really were raising the stakes of the queens. Only the best of the best were on. But then S3 started slipping. And now S4 has been a complete slide.

An Interesting Concept

[pavanveersagoo · 5/10 · 16 February 2019]

Despite the controversy behind the 'gaggs' in this finale, I believe that the end result was something new and refreshing. Yes this season didn't hold up to its season 2 sister, however offered a more alternative outlook on how to play the all stars game. Much better than season 3 in my opinion. Condragulations to the winners!!

RIGGA MORIS

[huredefure · 2/10 · 16 February 2019]

This season was the most RIGGED season I've ever seen. so disappointed in rupaul. love diversity but this episode was judged extremely unfairly, two winners were crowned because the producers were too scared of the backlash.

Worst finale ever

[giuliailie · 1/10 · 17 February 2019]

I've been a fan of the show for years and after last season's finale I promised I would have stopped watching, but here I am again. Trinity was obviously the only winner, I don't fully get why they had to pull this thing. The entire episode was underwhelming with an awful finale.

Please Ru, collect your own show and stop using these stupid tricks.

Lazy Television

[hotaka · 1/10 · 17 February 2019]

This finale just felt lazy and as if no one involved in producing it cared at all.

The challenge was supposed to be something to do with uncovering your inner superhero, but that was never explored. The challenge then became the usual top four dance-off. I didn't even know they were performing their own lyrics during the song, because they never showed the queens writing or recording their lyrics.

They then brought back the reigning three all stars. Trixie teases at an interesting new twist, where they would decide who would win. But no, it was just a joke. Ru gets to pick.

Then they performed the song. Bland. Completely forgettable performances and uninteresting choreography from all four queens. So much so that the editors heavily featured the reigning three queens.

Runway: Everyone except Monique looks amazing.

Speeches: The same speeches we've always heard.

Top 2: Monet and Trinity. Feel like Monique deserved it more than Monet, but not complaining.

The final LSFYL: Terrrrrible song choice. Lacklustre performance from both queens. Trinity botched a cartwheel.

The winner: A TIE????? It's pretty obvious that Trinity was the winner, but Ru just wanted to avoid backlash about having an all-white hall of fame.

What a letdown.

Please VH1, wait at least another three or four years before attempting All Stars 5. We need a new fresh batch of strong queens so you don't have to keep scraping the bottom of the barrel for filler queens who haven't already competed.

As a fan who leaves the show, that was the worst season with the worst finale.

[fabriel_l · 1/10 · 15 February 2019]

Valentina and Manila were two of the three ones who made this season entertaining but the final result is disappointing and disrespectful with Trinity The Tuck because she was the only one deserving the crown. Monet x change won because a little part of the fandom claimed for a poc/black winner but that second crown was undeserving and I, for sure am not going to continue in this journey called Rupaul's Drag Race.

VH1 and WoW are killing the format.

Not worth the time

[jesuslovesme-01079 · 1/10 · 17 February 2019]

The entire season, with little exception, was lack luster and silly. Lots of us gave it bad reviews. Won't waste my time again.

Congrats my all stars

[cenglandsullivan · 8/10 · 16 February 2019]

I agree with Ru. I could not decided the past week. I enjoyed the episode. There will be all this hate, and that is sad, but I am glad for a double win in all stars.

What a mistake

[jamieaholding · 1/10 · 17 February 2019]

If anyone was unsure of the fact that it is all recorded in advance with different versions of different competitors winning then you should have no doubt now.

What an appalling mistake to crown both queens for no good reason then attempt to stitch together a weird edited version of the show with both queens winning.

The rest of the episode was rather lacklustre and felt like it was creating reasons to not pick Naomi or Monique.

A tragic ending to an average series with stunning queens.

TEA

[brandonbusking · 10/10 · 19 February 2019]

I love the double win! Both deserved it! Monet and Trinity did very good during the season and both got 100,000 dollars so idk why everyone is complaining.

The only gag is how lackluster this season was

[rickymangerie · 1/10 · 16 February 2019]

I started being a fan of this show a couple of years ago from seeing intermittent episodes and being so shocked and surprised at what was able to be turned out each and every episode. I have to say, if I hadn't seen Drag Race before and these were the episode I caught, like I did a couple of years ago, I would not have given this show a chance. Drag Race definitely gained a reputation as such an amazing and superb outlet for art and self-expression, but seem to have grabbed that title and since not have put enough effort into production. Yes, Drag Race may keep its viewers, but they will not gain any new viewers if they keep the production value at this level. In short, this was such a bad episode to end such a bad season.

Total trash

[aleksandarwolf · 1/10 · 16 February 2019]

Trinity should have been the only one to win. Understandably vh1 must attempt to remain neutral over the Manila fiasco, so to avoid even more shade they jumbled both their crownings together.

Worst Finale Ever

[eddiehk · 1/10 · 18 February 2019]

Double shantay for a challenge is cool, but it's a competition I'd love to have ONE winner but not multiple ones for the crown.

Terrible choices

[mikatrillat · 1/10 · 17 February 2019]

Seriously 😳 that was a mess ! Disappointed..... hard to watch... please make it stop !!!

Garbage

[blimeystone · 1/10 · 16 February 2019]

2 crowns? Seriously? Absolutely rigged season. Rupaul owes her fans an apology.

Worst final

[mohamedayoubghaddab · 1/10 · 16 February 2019]

Wow, and i thought all stars 3 was bad. This has to be the wors episode of rupaul's drag race ever.

Unexpected and never dull moment on the show!

[shamai-02864 · 10/10 · 16 February 2019]

Every girl is extremely talented and I'll tell you even more people are so toxic and cant get over with themselves when 2 talented queens "share" a win. It's a competition and not always theres one winner girl... it's a draw! What makes it even more fun is as4 and I still have no clue what is going to happen. That's the tea. Spread love, not hate.

Worst

[r_m_mercado · 1/10 · 17 February 2019]

No more rupaul. Wasted my time watching. Dont want to commit the same mistake.

Good

[jadaj-12744 · 10/10 · 17 February 2019]

I like the ending I think they both deserve it. They are great queens.

If you know the history of RPDR ALL STAR, you would know why.

[d_bomb_11 · 1/10 · 16 February 2019]

One of the worse episodes in RPDR history. Crowning 2 queens. Lack luster finale song. Editing fail! An episode just "to please" everyone. All star 1 is better than this season. Not recommended to watch this entire season.

All Stars needs to Stop

[acrotinger · 1/10 · 28 February 2019]

Congrats are in order to both Trinity and Monet! I understand people are upset with a double win, I am too, but there's no reason to dog on either queen for something that they have no control over.

The real issue lies with production. After the finale, I started to wonder if a double win was the plan all along. Most of the queens could be paired off: Trinity, Farrah, and Valentina, Season 9; Monique and Monet, season 10; and of course Manila and Latrice, All Stars 1. Could you imagine the reaction if Manila and Latrice had won together? The double win would still have been an unnecessary stunt, but I doubt fans would leave nasty comments on their respective social media.

This season and All Stars 3 is a prime example as to why All Stars should take a break. Rupaul is oversaturating the market with drag queens and it's hard to get excited about anyone, because even a clear front runner on a regular season can lose thanks to the final lip-sync "extravaganza."

I think we all need a break from Drag Race and I'm sure production could use more time to formulate a strong season all the way through rather than one that falls apart halfway.

Worst Finale Ever

[eddiehk · 1/10 · 18 February 2019]

A double shantay for a challenge is cool, a double win isn't. It's a competition and I'd love to have ONE winner but not multiples. Or just crown all of them in episode one and get on with it since they are ALL STARS.

They forced all the wrong things!

[robert_naif · 1/10 · 18 February 2019]

They forced bringing Latrice back and they forced the double win! I am happy for the winners. They have the crown but I feel the real winner was eliminated.

Lame season. Just lame.

We cancelled our Grand Finale Party and the Show

[vintagecrew · 1/10 · 20 February 2019]

We used to enjoy Rupaul's Drag Race, but it has lost it's fun factor. The All Stars Elimination Process is so tired. After the unfair elimination of certain queens, we stopped watching. I hope the ratings continues to decline. It's no longer a fun show. It has become unnerving.

Worst than All Stars 1

[mick96890 · 1/10 · 7 January 2021]

What a complete mess. It was really disrespectful for Trinity and also to the fans to end the competition like that. Don't get me wrong I love Monét as the comedy and talented queen she is BUT those looks were horrible the season, from start to finish she failed the challenges and at the end... a double crowning? What were they thinking? Hope the producers learn and grow from this awful twists.
