Drag Race Brasil

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!

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.

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.

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.

Wooooowww I am amazed... The show started with such a great energy, the workroom looks absolutely fabulous, so colourful and full of carnival's references.. the judges and the host Grag Queen know exactly what they are doing, they are very coherent, spontaneous great humour and sense of critic. The first challenge were so much fun... from the beginning you already know that all of the queens are fierce and they are ready to fight for the crown. It's awesome that they brought a diverse cast, with queens from different age, backgrounds and places, I can't wait to see more of it. I'm super excited. 10/10.
