Drag Race France (2022)
The best version of Drag Race, period.
The best thing that ever happened to the Drag Race franchise.
Nicky Doll's looks, her empathy with the contestants, her constructive and pertinent criticism are just a joy to watch. I fell in love with her from the very first episode in season one.
The queens are talented, sophisticated and fashion forward, and I appreciate the good vibes between them, without all the drama and nonsense that we see in other versions.
The season two rusical was out of this world, and the finale is in a category of its own, above all other international franchises and, dare I say it, most US finales. 2023 is not the best year for Drag Race, but Drag Race France made it all better and set a new standard for the whole franchise.
Drag Race España (2021)
Loose the Javis!
As a native Spanish speaker and an admirer of Spanish culture I had high expectations for DR España, which season one failed to meet. Season two led me to believe that the show had found its right path. Then season three came and just ruined everything!
The judges' favoritism towards some of the queens was obvious since day one and, far from benefitting the winner (who is an incredibly talented and intelligent Queen who could have won without any favors from the judges), it hurt her credibility. The Javis (whose omnipresence in Spanish television is soooo irritating) see themselves as more protagonists of the show than the queens, even though I have yet to understand what qualifies them to judge a Drag talent show. They have to go!
A huge disappointment after season two which gave me such high hopes!
