Atlantic Mermaids

What a confusing episode. The runway was entertaining, but the judging decisions and poor lip sync make it almost unwatchable. There was nothing special. It was just an okay reading mini challenge and an adequate design challenge followed by more questionable judging and yet another horrible lip sync.

After the weird judging decisions and lackluster lip syncs in the last two episodes, I'm starting to give up on this season. When there are so many other franchises to watch, why would we waste our time on one that is missing what many others have in spades?

Hopefully there will still be time for the show to get better and actually deserve the 9s and 10s.

Despite the questionable judgments made by the jury, the strange video editing choices, etc., this is (so far) the best episode of this Brazilian franchise. I want to believe that from now on the episodes will only increase in quality, thus also increasing their fun. If you want to give a 0 rating for tantrums, you're an idiot who doesn't know how to appreciate the drag art of other countries just to value the drag art of your country. The "fight" between Organzza and Naza gave me a lot of vibes from the first seasons of Drag Race, when the queens didn't have the courage to say what they felt about each other, and I'm here for it.

This episode was perfect, from the challenge to the lip sync everything was a 10! I really hope to see this season getting greater and greater! And the drama the queens like Organzza are serving? IM LOVING IT!!! It's so refreshing to have such a nice episode after being let down by past challenges, runways ans lip syncs... But I'm really sad for the queen booted this week, I wish we cold see more of her in the future, maybe in some vs the world season. The only thing I would complain about is about the judging, even though I'm not that upset. And Grag keeps proving how she really is the right choice to host this show.

After having a dubious debut, the season gained strength and now, in the fifth episode, it brought the "Brazilian strength" that the community expected. It showed the authenticity of the participants, fair evaluations, good editing and an effectively representative runaway. The lipsync wasn't the best, but ok given the performance of the queens who did worse in the episode.

Still on the subject of editing, the team fortunately got it right. Both by fairly showing the participation of the drag queens, and by taking away from the judges a "roboticized" aspect imprinted in the first three episodes. Furthermore, they fitted Grag Queen as it really should be done and we don't see that much in the new franchises, with the exception of France. They cast her as an artist who goes beyond a pretty face and funny puns, but who provides the necessary support and encouragement to the cast.

Grag Queen shone and, without any major surprises as she was already great, established her place in the "hall of fame" of the program's best hosts.
