Episodes
Critical reception The tenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars was generally met with mixed to negative reviews, with criticism generally leaning towards the execution of the new bracket format and the perceived favoritism of Ginger Minj, the winner of the season.
In a recap by Vulture, the finale was rated 2 out of 5 stars and called "shockingly short on personality" and a "bubbly but unshocking end to a lackluster season". A finale recap by Xtra Magazine said the first two brackets of the season could've been considered "the best ever", but the third bracket and the semifinals "put that to bed". A review by TVLine called the crowning of Ginger Minj "unsurprising".
Despite receiving the highest TV viewership ratings since RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season seven, the final episode for the season, "Tournament of All Stars Smackdown for the Crown", received an IMDb user rating of 2.3 out of 10 with more than 3,600 reviews, the lowest rating in the RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars spin-off.
