Drag Race Brasil

One of a string of Drag Races made in Columbia early in 2023, I believe this came second and features the same gigantic mirror-festooned werk room, cool light-up stage, and awkwardly extended 12 episodes as Mexico. The similarities cease there though as this fellow South American series ended up as the strongest of the three. Strong creative contestants, strong host, strong judging and judges (particularly taken with Dudu Bertholini). Structurally it didn't suffer as badly as Mexico and really the only draw-back was the strange dark undercurrent of bullying, in-fighting and serious viciousness between the queens both on camera and behind the scenes. Very weird. That being said, Brazil was one of the few countries that was really shouting out for a Drag franchise (no offence to Belgium) and it could have done far worse than this.

The program starts slower, nervous girls and dubious editing, but gradually they begin to appear more and live the program in mastery. Very captivating and charismatic conrestants but the biggest highlight is the host Grag Queen. I'm sure a second season will bring an even bigger evolution and investments from the competitors. The Drag scene in Brazil still does not have the proper recognition and the program will greatly increase the power of Queens who still work with almost nothing to bring Excellence. Dudu Bertoline brings a very professional vision and daddy's jokes that only Brazilians understand, but it is enough to bring great moments.

In terms of delivery, the queens exceeded all expectations. They dedicated themselves fully to each challenge, showing not only their artistic skills but also a fierce determination to succeed and excel. The passion and energy that each one brought to the catwalk and to the challenges were palpable, captivating the audience and judges.

The fashion challenges were a spectacle in themselves, with the queens parading stunning looks, which mixed creativity, originality and a keen understanding of contemporary trends.

The interaction between the queens was an additional aspect that made the season memorable. There were emotional and mutually supportive moments, creating an atmosphere of brotherhood and community that highlighted the importance of empathy and companionship even in fierce competition.

This franchise is one of the best of drag race, and Drag Race Brazil continues the legacy with flying colors. The show's cast is a dazzling array of talent, each queen bringing their unique flair to the competition. From jaw-dropping runway looks to unforgettable performances, the queens consistently serve iconic moments that keep fans at the edge of their seats.

What truly sets Drag Race Brazil apart is its charismatic host who effortlessly guides the show with a perfect blend of humor, sass, and genuine encouragement. The chemistry between the host and the contestants creates a warm and engaging atmosphere that draws viewers in from the very beginning.

The challenges are thoughtfully designed, pushing the queens to showcase their creativity, versatility, and star quality. From acting challenges that leave us in stitches to heart-pounding lip sync battles that leave us breathless, the competition is fierce and electrifying.

Moreover, Drag Race Brazil doesn't shy away from addressing important issues, using its platform to highlight stories that resonate deeply with both the contestants and the audience. This adds a layer of emotional depth to the show, making it not just a fabulous spectacle, but also a meaningful experience.

In a world where representation matters, Drag Race Brazil stands out for its diverse cast, giving a platform to queens from various backgrounds and identities. This inclusivity not only reflects the vibrant spirit of drag, but also sends a powerful message of acceptance and empowerment to viewers worldwide.

With its stellar production quality, captivating challenges, and a host that radiates charisma, Drag Race Brazil proves itself as a worthy addition to the drag race legacy. It's more than just a competition; it's a celebration of self-expression, creativity, and the unbreakable spirit of drag.

I get that you're all trying to stand up for drag race Brasil, cause it's something you've been waiting for so long and trying to advocate and justify this failure of an episode as much as you're really looking for any type of reedeming qualities for the queens. I mean, being a drag queen in Brazil must be crazy hard. No money, no place to performe and so on. But, really queen? Chanel in the top with that white towel? That first challenge was HARD to watch, let's be honest here. Like, where were the moves? Where were the dance? The editing was so bad as well. That lip sync was though. I mean, shame!
