The abbreviated 6-episode series was filled with {{Shocking Elimination}}s, where the cast were far more willing to use the All Stars rules to go the "take out the competition" route, instead of the safer "take out who did the worst this episode in the interest of fairness" method. The result was a chaotic season where fan favorites like [[spoiler:Canada's Lemon and Jimbo, UK's Cheryl Hole]], and even [[spoiler:the much-hyped Thailand ''host'' Pangina Heals]], were all gone by midway through.

On one hand, some fans felt that the loss of all the popular favorites and heavy-hitters made the end of the season feel deflating, and it merits a rethink of the All Stars elimination format. On the other hand, some fans ''loved'' the chaos, feeling that it made the show more exciting and unpredictable.

* TearJerker: The elimination of [[spoiler:frontrunner Pangina Heals]] was depressing to the point it veered on uncomfortable. After a ShockingElimination at the hands of fellow competitor [[spoiler:Blu Hydrangea]], all she could do was sob uncontrollably, apologise to [[spoiler:her Thai fans]] for not going all the way, and shuffle off the stage in pure shock and embarrassment while not even looking at the judges or remaining queens. You could even still hear her absolutely wailing backstage even while Ru was giving her end of episode speech. The saddest part were the reactions as she left. [[spoiler:Blu was literally shaking as she realised the gravity of what she’d just done, Janey, Jujubee, Baga, and Mo didn’t know what to do or how to react, Ru was left in genuine shock, and Michelle and guest judge Clara Amfo started tearing up. Making for gag-worthy TV but also an incredibly DownerEnding]].

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: In season one, [[spoiler:Baga Chipz once again hit a home run in Snatch Game]] with her creepy yet hilarious portrayal of Creator/KathyBates as [[Literature/{{Misery}} Annie Wilkes]], playing a LoonyFan of Ru ([[ShoutOut or "Paul" as she calls him]]) so well it's simultaneously impressive and unsettling. [[spoiler:Blu Hydrangea]] also nailed it with her very funny and accurate portrayal of Creator/MikeMyers as Film/AustinPowers, complete with a character change mid-game to Powers' nemesis, Dr. Evil. [[spoiler:In the end, both Brit Girls won the challenge]].

* UnexpectedCharacter: As the series format is based on the American ''Series/RuPaulsDragRaceAllStars'', all season one competitors were expected to be returning contestants from other parts of the ''Series/DragRace'' franchise. However, instead of a competitor, ''Series/DragRaceThailand'' is represented by Pangina Heals, who actually judges and co-hosts the show. In the first episode, some of the contestants also seem shocked to see her.
