Stan Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 Definitely rooting for my hometown queens Pandora and Metamorkid. And I’m glad we got two amazing queens representing us tbh. Tessa Testicle and Lele Cocoon seem really fun as well, but not as polished. Yvonne Nightstand and Kelly Heelton seem fun. Im ready to hate the only Naomi. Can’t stand white twink drag. 1
Stan Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 I can’t with every queen on that season having a better mug than the host though 1

Hurem Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 What was this episode Why was the maxi challenge walking down the runway with an outfit you brought from home? A bit of a **** show so far. Also, where was this season filmed? I tried looking at the credits to potentially see a familiar name, only to see a bunch of Spanish (?) names

Mexico and Brazil also filmed in the same studio.
genetic fail Posted September 5, 2023 Author Posted September 5, 2023 That was a pretty good premiere! The cast seems like a fun, diverse, group of queens! Pandora Nox is an instant icon! Metamorkid, The Only Naomy and Barbie Q are also really interesting. I like that noone went home because the lipsync was fierce and you shouldn't really be sent home for something you brought from home. With that said, I hope this won't be another Drag Race Mexico with multiple non-elimination episodes to fill the 12-episode quota with Paramount+. 10 really is the magic number when it comes to episode count.
Heldenzeit Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 I'm going to watch this at a bar tonight. Can't believe I can finally experience Drag Race in a way like that!

Where are u watching? I used to go to Monster Ronsons in Berlin but the drag queen was petty and stopped the public viewing to make "more space for local drag" Well guess what, the party flopped after taking out the Drag Race screening... 1

Naomy is there for drama bc she is clearly leagues and leagues behind the other queens.

ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted September 5, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted September 5, 2023 Of all the new season this year this easily had the best premier. Good runway, well rounded group of queens, fair judging, and an enjoyable lip sync
Hector Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 Great first episode and what an impressive debut Pandora Noxx made winning both the mini AND maxi-challenge. I see her in the finale already I don't think that lipsync was really a double shantay (I'd have given it to Victoria over Tessa as Tessa's dress was hindering her from giving an even greater lipsync) but I'm not mad at it. Victoria BODIED that lipsync Barbie Q & LeLe had great runways too
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted September 5, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted September 5, 2023 Tbh I think Tessa won the LS. It was even but near the end you could see Victoria getting desperate and resorting to doing cartwheels instead of lip syncing the actual song. a fair double save though for the most part.

Celebre in Munich is doing a weekly viewing, with Janisha doing commentary. This and next week's guest is Barbie Q. It's currently PACKED.
Stan Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 Just came back from Pandora Nox‘s and Metamorkids viewing party and WHEEEEEW what a great episode. Honestly, I’m so proud to have two of the fiercest queens of the season representing my city I also really live for Yvonne. Her humor >>>>
Brunette Ambition Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 This was so much better than the US version of which I can’t sit through one episode without getting a seizure really looking forward to this season. Pandora is a legend.
Chamoy Posted September 6, 2023 Posted September 6, 2023 The way Nikita would've probably won this first episode if the Drag Race Mexico judges were in charge. She has that same corny Cristian Peralta energy that they would've gagged over. This cast looks promising, lemme pull out my German textbooks from middle grade.
Rotunda Posted September 6, 2023 Posted September 6, 2023 Excellent premiere. Thought Tessa won the lip sync, but I think in general premieres where the first episode is literally just “wear a look from home” should be non-elim most of the time, and this was one of the best first episode lip syncs.

I take it you’ve never seen Drag Race UK, cause that’s been the premiere challenge every season .

Dragonfly Posted September 6, 2023 Posted September 6, 2023 Fun cast Some real talent in there. I loved the guest judge and her rap song. But yeah, they should've done two looks. And my god, Metamorkid is HOT
Hephaestus Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) This might be one of the best first episodes in the franchise's history, damn! Loved everything about it, the cast, the host, the judges, the looks. The cast is giving All Stars level, so many great, charismatic and polished queens. The host is super lovable, immediately jumped in the top 5 hosts of the franchise. The judges are really interesting too, especially loved Dianne Brill and Shirin David (lowkey wish she was a regular judge). Entrances, photoshoot and runway looks were sooo good, but Pandora, Metamorkid and LéLé stood out to me the most so far. I have a soft spot for Tessa (who absolutely devoured the lip sync, let it be known) and Nikita too, I hope they go far. Naomy should've been in the bottom for that basic ass dress. Can't wait to see more, I have a really good feeling about this season. Team Pandora by the way. Not only she looks sickening, but she entered the workroom with a f*cking Keyblade and did a version of Elsa for the photoshoot, like she couldn't have mothered harder than that to my eyes.
