Drag Race Holland

Great winners but judges could be better.

Where's the K3 girl group challenge? Songs by dutch artists (esmee denters, elizee???) I also would like more Flemish input as we always have a Belgian queen.

Great winners though.

English people do not have any right to say something because it's Matters to Dutch people and maybe it's different but a lot of queens are talented our first winner got more wins than the most winning us and uk winners and envy Peru won 4 times in a really short time and other queens only got 3 in a long time. And one thing KETA MINAJ WAS ROBBED. But is was 2 Great seasons but only Dutch people will understand that And i want a season 3 NOW!!!!!!!

The show in itself is good, the queen's talented, the challenges fun and the drama (partly staged) fun to watch. The judges though, they seem to like or dislike something at random, if the queen they like exceeds at the main challenge it's one of the main judgement points, if she doesn't it's not. Would have loved to see a fair competition...

The production of this show is very bad. But what actually killed it for me are the judges, especially the host. They are so unlikable.

The host acts like RuPaul up to his catchphrases, which makes it so inauthentic. They even translate some parts to Dutch, literally, which makes no sense at all. The moment the host thought he was the big shot, I turned off the tv. He is so rude to the contestants and even insults them, like wth?

Cancelling the host might be this show's only salvation. Stopped watching after 5 episodes, couldn't stand it anymore. "Daaaag schaaaat". - Horrible, really!

The First Season of Drag Race Holland shows some promise. The cast is not only talented, but also diverse, showing not only Dutch queens but also a couple of South American queens. The production is certainly more modest given its infancy and filmed in a smaller country during the pandemic. While the show does stay true to the roots of the Drag Race franchise with snatch game, musical, acting and design challenges, there could be more room of originality, featuring more Dutch and Benelux culture in the mini and maxi challenges.

The weighting formula of the maxi challenge and runway is also different, with the latter outweighing the former. Therefore, at times, after watching the maxi challenge, one would have thought a specific queen deserved to win the episode based on her stellar performance but to be surprised a queen with a stunning runway look to snatch the win from the deserving queen.

The runway looks are really good for some queens like the incredibly polished Envy Peru, the crazily original queen, ChelseaBoy, and Sederginne, a comedy queen who proves that great comedic timing can go with great sense of style. I believe the show can benefit from better and more consistent judging where the maxi challenge weighs more than the runway look. I look forward to the coming seasons.
