Drag Race Belgique

This first season of Drag Race Belgique, for me, is hands down the most boring season of all the Drag Race franchise. There is very little real banter or wit from the judges, especially during the catwalks (where most of the other franchises have great and hilarious catwalk banter and comments from the judges). It lacks chemistry and pizzazz. I don't understand why the entire Pit Crew all look undernourished and underweight, and in serious need of Vitamin D. I found it difficult to be drawn in or invest myself emotionally with the candidates. The whole competition felt rather cold and stilted. I really hope that they will do better for season 2. Fingers crossed.

This spinoff is litterally the worst so far. Season 2 being the worst drag race season of all time in my opinion.

1- The challenges: The queens aren't able to shine because the challenges aren't adapted to the queens' talents, which makes the challenges uninteresting, it all feels very amateurish. Maybe the queens' talent this season is also lacking, i don't know.

2- The budget is really disappointing. But i guess we can't hold that against them.

3- The judging is HORRIBLE, the judges seem mean and unlikeable. Most of the time the negative critiques just seem unwarranted and personnal.

Just sad. Please cancel it. We're done.

... it needs a new host/hostess, fast!!

Rita does not have the "it" factor to make the show entertaining which affects its overall success and enjoyability.

Rita does have talents, but after two seasons, they are not for hosting Drag Race Belgique. She is not funny (although she comes across as she thinks she is). It's not witty nor intelligent, and too predictable.

Whoever is calling the shots on how to dress Rita for Season 2 needs to change careers. They only made it worse for Rita. Her looks each episode were odd and unpolished to the point of being funny, unfortunately.

I hope Season 3 gets a go-ahead, and a better host/hostess! Belgium deserves better ... maybe a great local and popular drag queen instead?

I am a French speaking Belgian and don't understand why this Belgian edition is in French only. It's unfair on the Flemish participants who tempt the adventure. I agree there should be a Benelux version, and in English, so that better talent with more skills can be selected from Belgium. I don't like the fixed panel of judges, just not appealing nor charismatic and while I love DR Canada and liked Rita in it, her hosting is really monotonous and repetitive here, not her thing. Too bad. I have no problem that she Canadian. What I like is that candidates are genuine, have a sense of humour and also some gravitas. Having both French speaking and Flemish speaking in the same show could be creating very funny moments but that too is not in there. Sad!

So happy to see this version of Rupaul Drag Race with belgian's queens ! The werkroom is stunning and the show/queens are so caring and kind ! Looooove it ! The show is in french because apparently it is the french-speaking part of belgium that produces. I laughed a lot with these queens full of self-mockery, even if I didn't have certain very Belgian references (but there's a topic on reddit that gives you the cultural background for each épisode). And btw i love Rita and the jury and guests (but maybe not luffy tbh). I hope the franchise will continue to develop in Europe and give us great seasons like this one !
