All Stars 10 of RuPaul’s Drag Race is currently in the midst of a lot of drama surrounding favouritism allegations, which are all getting launched at Ginger Minj. Ginger has always been a force to be reckoned with whenever she competes on Drag Race and her time in bracket three is her fourth run on the show. She has now won two challenges and lip syncs back to back, and this week everyone is livid that she won over Denali – a fan favourite who has been excelling. Everyone has wanted to know how Denali feels about the Drag Race ‘favouritism’ discourse about Ginger Minj – and now Denali has addressed it and given major insight about how she feels regarding it all.
Here’s what’s been said, and it’s fascinating.
‘It’s a bias competition show’

At a Roscoes viewing party, Denali is asked by a fan “how obvious was it that this was Ginger’s bracket”. Denali answers in a way that really puts things into perspective. Denali explained “Listen, I will repeat what I’ve been saying kind of to myself and what I’ve experienced. This is RuPaul’s Drag Race. It is a formatted, biased competition show with a lot of subjective judging. And at the end of the day, it is literally woven into the fabric of Drag Race for it to favour certain individuals. Certain people that are really good at the show, certain people that RuPaul really likes and that her humour vibes with – or people that are really experienced at it as well.
“If I had walked in there and all of the challenges were ice skating, reggaeton song challenge and a dance challenge – I would also be like, huh, those are kind of skewed towards Denali. Interesting. You guys are not unintelligent. You guys have been part of this show for a long time – you understand it.
“Saying that, Ginger Minj is extremely good at Drag Race. I would not want to take away at all her ability to do really well in this show. We saw it. Let me say this so hard, because this fandom thinks sometimes that things are just black and white. Two things can exist at once. This show is built to favour people – those people can also be really good at this show.”
Denali gave such a good and respectful but honest answer regarding Drag Race and the All Stars 10 ‘favouritism’ of Ginger Minj – I’m gagged. It’s all such good drama, I can’t take it.
