From the moment Ginger Minj was announced as a competitor on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10, a pretty intense discourse was ignited over this being her fourth time vying for the crown on RuPaul's Drag Race.
While there have been other queens who competed four times in the franchise, that intense reaction came from this being Ginger's fourth time competing in the U.S. series (one flagship season and three U.S. All Stars seasons).
Some fans and queens are also claiming that "production" is "favoring" Ginger — though she just happens to be excelling at the maxi challenges in this third bracket of All Stars 10 — and/or that Ginger shouldn't have won the lip sync to Miley Cyrus's "See You Again" against Denali.
A flood of social media posts reacting to this discourse has taken over the internet. Some shady posts had Ginger literally tagged in them. Other posts from fellow All Stars 10 queens are sharing their points-of-view from "being there" while filming.
There are also queens who shared shady reactions and later claimed that they weren't necessarily reactions to Ginger. Last but not least, there are also queens who are either defending Ginger or pointing out the fact that this is "a lot of emotion for safe."
Keep scrolling to see the good, the gagged, and the gooped reactions to Ginger Minj winning the maxi challenge and lip sync of episode 8 on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 — and make sure to watch new episodes of the season every Friday on Paramount+.
Eureka — who also competed on Drag Race four times between season 9, season 10, All Stars 6, and Canada vs The World season 2 — wrote (and literally tagged Ginger Minj in the X post):
"Congratulations on winning All Stars Season 10 you’ve deserved it for while. I guess I’ll watch Ginny and Georgia @TheGingerMinj."
Eureka subsequently replied to a fan, writing:
"What are you even saying. No one bullied anyone. Get off my page baby."
Drag Race season 11, All Stars 6, and UK vs the World season 2 star Scarlet Envy wrote:
"Imagine being FAVORED on drag race cannot relate."
Drag Race España star The Macarena wrote:
"Drag Race is not a God damn sports events, you don’t win just for doing flips and kicks. Jesus fucking Christ y'all hate drag."
Drag Race season 2 and All Stars 2 star Tatianna wrote:
"Oh they are just playing RIGHT in our faces…"
Drag Race España star Sagittaria wrote (translated into English):
"Let's see, Denali has done a lot of splits? Maybe, even so, Ginger has done the same thing as always and honestly it's also tiring to see 40 splits in a row, for that I would have given it to Denali who at least worked on a choreography and such, I don't know."
Drag Race season 11 star and Canada's Drag Race host Brooke Lynn Hytes wrote:
"Are y'all ok?"
Drag Race season 7 star and All Stars 3 winner re-shared Brooke Lynn Hytes's X post and wrote:
"But for real!"
Drag Race season 13 and All Stars 8 finalist/runner-up Kandy Muse wrote:
"Girl, I'm not finishing bracket 3 call me back when the merge happens…"
Drag Race season 14 star Alyssa Hunter — who's competing with Ginger Minj in the same bracket of All Stars 10 — wrote in response to Kandy Muse's post:
"GIRL… Watched it in person and now on screen, still giving the same energy."
Alyssa Hunter also replied to a fan, writing:
"It's not about behavior, I'm only talking about the lip sync. thats all, Let me be clear: I'm not coming for any of my sisters. Outside of this produced show, I respect them all. Let's not take this personal, my loves. We all have the same right to share our opinion."
Kandy Muse replied to a fan who observed that Kandy hadn't mentioned anyone by name, suggesting that people were wrong to assume that the X post was about Ginger Minj. Kandy wrote:
"!!!!!! NO BC CLOCK IT."
Drag Race season 15 finalist and All Stars 10 competitor Mistress Isabelle Brooks commented in the thread of X posts that included Kandy Muse and Alyssa Hunter with the "frowning face with open mouth" emoji.
Kandy Muse subsequently clapped back at fans alleging that she was also favored during her two Drag Race seasons. Kandy re-shared one of those posts and wrote:
"People keep saying this as if I didn't deserve every challenge win I got! try again [cigarette emoji] (I was also put in the bottom every single time I fumbled a challenge) because RuPaul genuinely liked me doesn't mean its favoritism!"
Drag Race season 17 star Suzie Toot wrote:
"Ginger is a superstar and you bitches wish you could do what she can."
Drag Race season 4 Willam posed a question to Ginger Minj:
"Question since we all here and wondering do u think you won those lip syncs too? u were there. what's your take?"
Some fans pushed back on Willam asking that question. She wrote in response to one of them:
"So i can't ask questions or smoke meth? can i smoke the grass or just touch it? it's not mean to ask a question. i wanted her first hand knowledge. i'm working with Jorgeous your other fave tonight Rigo. i'm gonna tell her you said hi."
Another response from Willam read:
"Don't say we like you speak for everyone. we don't hate ginger. you might. but the world doesn't. a lot of people love her and that's why she has been employed in this industry for two decades."
The Boulet Brothers' Dragula and Sloppy Seconds podcaster Meatball wrote:
"Leave her alone."
Drag Race season 15 star Morphine Love Dion shared the following reactions to watching the episode:
"Oh…"
"All I'm gonna say is [that] I'm mad that Cucu [Cynthia Lee Fontaine] wasn't in the top."
Drag Race season 16 finalist Plane Jane wrote:
"Wtf did RuPaul keep laughing at??? Ginger just standing there tickles her brain tumor so fiercely."
Drag Race season 9, All Stars 3, and All Stars 10 star Aja wrote:
"I actually think she won this one."
A fan agreed with Aja in regard to the lip sync between Ginger Minj and Denali. Aja replied:
"I just feel like the performance was way more energy than the song called for and wasn't in the same vibe."
Amid the chaotic discourse surrounding her winning streak on All Stars 10, Ginger Minj wrote:
"While I have everyone talking about me, why not just advertise some stuff."
Ginger is referencing a new production that she's in, Hokus Pokus Live, premiering later this year.
