Fancyhoodlum Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 From the positives, the studio interior looks AMAZING, so fresh and big, so open, other franchises take notes. They all look cool and fresh and fun and genuinely happy to be there. It all ft very warm and welcoming. Now. I admit I have no idea who the main presenter is, but she looks super young, is she accomplished enough to be a judge? The first challenge was waaaay to early. We don't know those queens, so putting them in a video made me not recognise any of them. The runway suuuucked.
Hector Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 Well deserved win for Organzza And the Hot Girls definitely served more as a whole than the first group last week. Bettina smoked Diva in the lipsync, so not surprised at that result. Shame, since her runway was one of the best overall.

She won the first season of Queen of the Universe, a drag singing show with queens from all over the world. When you have non winners hosting other versions of the show, I guess winning a drag competition is more than enough to grant that position.
Hephaestus Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 Very weird premiere, I'm not feeling this cast of queens which is weird because I was really looking forward Drag Race Brazil. Host and judges are doing fine so far, but girl group as the first challenge needs to go because it's impossible to judge fairly, especially in a music video format. Runways were also bad, I expected so much more. Happy for Organzza, although Naza also deserved. Very sad for Diva, she was one of my faves from the Meet the Queens and I wanted to see more (no pun intended) of her. Betina is giving crunch, I don't see her going far anyway.
publikcitizen Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 Hopefully the next few episodes will be better.
genetic fail Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 Anyone else annoyed at Grag Queen forcing the queens to sing?! Not everyone has the pipes like you, girl. I lowkey feel like she's trying to outshine the damn contestant LOL Overall, group 2 is slightly better than group 1. I was expecting something great from Organzza after all the Twitter hype but she did just decent in the challenge and her runway was surprisingly basic. I would've actually given the win to Shannon. An acting challenge with 11 queens is bound to be a mess Episode 3 will be make or break for me. Not really feeling this franchise so far.
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted September 14, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted September 14, 2023 Mid episode but Organzza is queen.
bruninho Posted September 14, 2023 Posted September 14, 2023 People leaving the season because of the premiere...are u guys really into Drag Race? So many seasons had mid starts and became great, while others started amazing and ended up being a boring season. lol I guarantee u guys are going to miss on some good stuff. lol 1
bruninho Posted September 14, 2023 Posted September 14, 2023 Last episode was great...(besides some horrible runways and a terrible lipsync lol) The moment with Malditta talking about her HIV status. The fight at the beginning of the episode. The acting challenge was pretty fun. Hellena and Organzza's runway <3 1
hétérosexuelle Posted September 16, 2023 Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) Just watched the premiere episodes Organzza is a STAR like yes queen Weird challenge like all said, but the queens are so warm and likable. I did not know drag queens had it this hard in a country as iconically gay as Brazil **** religion Gretchen was mother, I did NOT expect her to be so elegant and “together” looked the best i’ve ever seen her too like permanent judge please it’s only appropriate for this GAY LEGEND Edited September 16, 2023 by hétérosexuelle
Morissette Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 I'm scared to start this franchise, I have not heard good things
Hephaestus Posted September 19, 2023 Posted September 19, 2023 Yeah, I'm sorry to say this but Brazil is not giving so far (which is insane considering how entertaining Brazilian TV generally is). Like I've been genuinely bored watching the first few episodes, which is usually not a good sing. Hopefully it'll get better as the season goes on. Organza and Naza devoured last episode's runway though
KaledKalil Posted September 21, 2023 Author Posted September 21, 2023 This season is so disappointing. the overall vibe of the season is so rehearsed and not an indicative of Brazilian drag at all.
Mads Trier Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Hellena Maldita should have been the sole winner of that design challenge, I'm anything Rubi Ocean should have shared the win with her not Naza! Naza's look was too costumey and busy, whilst it was a fully realised look it was the definition of safe. But the judges keep on giving her the Krystal Versace treatment so I would not be surprised if she is pushed to the end. Dallas De Vil should have lipsynched Edited September 22, 2023 by Mads Trier 1
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted September 22, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted September 22, 2023 This was the best episode so far. Hope the upward trajectory continues. Helena shoulda just been the sole winner but as long as she got the win idc. Deserved bottom two and sadly deserved elimination even though I liked her. I hope Betina gets her redemption arc. I really like her. Dallas is such a messy bad baby queen but I like her anyway

Mads Trier Posted September 27, 2023 Posted September 27, 2023 Best episode of the season by a mile! I do think Grag is an absolutely fantastic host, it feels like they have been hosting the franchise for years. Shannon deservedly won finally. It feels very correct! 1
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted September 27, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted September 27, 2023 The increase in quality continues.
brooklyndaddy Posted September 27, 2023 Posted September 27, 2023 is this season worth watching so far?
Hector Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Shannon devoured both the runway & challenge. Deserved win Didn't like Miranda's runway at all so glad she didn't win. Aquarela & Dallas were both about equal on the lipsync, but can see why Dallas stayed.
alfonso12 Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Does it really gets better? the first 3 episodes were Down Under / Italia level, awful looks and awful performances. Organzza is the only star there.

ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted October 4, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted October 4, 2023 The girls do not like Naza… the crickets when she shantayed She does kinda give kidz bop drag not gonna lie but she won the lipsync.
