Drag Race Belgique

Despite being the same format and same challenges as all of the other Drag race franchises, this one has the benefit of being refreshing at choosing the drag queens competing. It feels new and exciting, I have to admit Season 1 is waaay stronger cast than Season 2 but still; the better queens (for me) in season 2 are so on other level than the queens on Season 16 of US format, the fashion, the talent, the makeup, the concepts! All of it feels ahead of its time, that's what makes the Belgique franchise so exciting to watch! The judges are charming and Rita is amazing as a host! She feels very natural and seems like she has good chemistry with the girls in the werk room. Some critiques feel out of place but, the same happens in all of the franchises, you just have to accept that art is subjective so, not everyone is going to like and see things as you do! As much as i ADORE some of the looks or performances of certain queens, sometimes judges don't seem to see what I did, and that's okay! At the end of the day this is a reality tv competition series so everything is a game and probably all planed as the season is being done, who knows?

For me this, France season 2 and Dragula are showing audiences where drag is headed in the future! Mark my words and see it for yourself, not everything has to be Supermodel of the world as the US franchise makes people believe! There are LOTS of drag art that hasn't even been shown on TV, but in here you can get a glimpse of other types of making drag!

MAKE SEASON 3 HAPPEN! <3.

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.

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 !

I'm sad.goving this show.such a low rating, but I guess you have to be fair. It feels like a very poor attempt in doing what now.has become a well oiled machine. As always the stars.od the show are the queens, but the entire judging panel really brings this down. Rita just seems to lack.the omph that's needed. I just feel like her place is odd. And her drag is a tad pedestrian. Didn't see one look that I was taken back by. Then the array of judges permanent and guest just feel either too excited for no reason or just focusing on the wrong thing.

I mean rhey are trying but WOW needs a better quality control. Def worse than season 2.

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!
