Lol guess we/I shall use this as the main thread, got bitched at before bc i made a new one after a dead thread was already made. 

Spoiler alert for episode 1 and then I'll post normally bc idc

Spoiler

Thought the episode was amazing until the judging... Barbie top 3? Victoria bottom 3 over Naomy? Victoria BOTTOM TWO over Nikita???!? I was gagged.. bottom 2 should've been Tessa + Nikita or Naomy. 

Love the werk room, amazing set design. Amazing entrances, amazing queens, love the judges and guest judge, runways were majority fantastic, great makeup on everyone. Then the judging.. mess. I'm fine w Pandora winning (top 2 LeLe) 

like the non elimination but tessa gives first out

Omg this was so much fun to watch. I’m from Austria and I pretty much talk like metamorkid and I’ve never seen anyone who talks like that on an international mainstream platform like drag race. Kind of means a lot!

my favorites are definitely Pandora and Nikita.

Pandora is so hot, I can’t. 
Also the budget for the season is surprisingly high I feel. I thought they’ll get at 50€ gift voucher for Edeka and pins, but no it’s 100‘000€

Fellow German here: I‘m gagged! DR Germany actually is good 🤩

I loved the first episode! And I’m so happy to finally hear german on the main stage 😍

 

 Honestly I absolutely adore everyone, happy for pandora nox even tho I thought Lele Cocoon would win the first challenge with this look - still well deserved

The first Episode was so good! Still in shock about the talent there shown.

Pandora Nox all the way. I'm so obsessed with this queen already

Ok so now that we’re two episodes in I have some more comments on the show

First of all, I’m still really enjoying the show. But I don’t know how to feel about the host yet. For me, she doesn’t have a lot of charisma to be the host of the show. 
and her boyfriend or husband (?) is just so annoying. They’re definitely trying to make him the Carson/Ross of the show, but those two are at least funny and he is just annoying to me.

then, this episode it felt like everyone was trying way too hard to get airtime. When they walked back into the werkroom to get out of drag, I was just like, can we all calm down a little bit? But maybe I’m just boring. Then there were a lot of emotional moments for one episode. Which, I’m not saying that they don’t have the right to cry about what they cried about but I’m just used to them saving these story lines for one episode at a time. 
 

As for the judging. I think Metamorkid should have won or at least been in the top. I was shocked when she was safe. I’m not mad about the winner. Pandora slayed as always of course. Though I feel like they’re either trying to make her the villain or establish the storyline that the other queens feel like she’s favored by the judges. I didn’t think the queen who went home was gonna go home so soon but it was the right decision and honestly I was glad because she was getting a bit annoying. Like, everything she ever said on the show felt so rehearsed. 
 

i was also a Bit disappointed when they announced it was a sewing challenge cause I was looking forward to seeing them perform. But I’m very excited for the musical challenge next week. 
 

So those are just my two cents but overall I’m loving the show.

Finally got the chance to watch it. Another entertaining episode but the musical was pretty bad. Pandora slayed as always. Glad that Metamorkid won but I was 100% Kelly Heelton was gonna win. 

[tomsches 17,327]

Im just gonna leave another comment that probably nobody is going to read, but I like writing my thoughts down so whatever

Firstly, they should just crown Pandora already cause she keeps slaying every episode. 
i think the person who survived the lip sync should have gone home cause the other one was better imo.

In the first three episodes I have started to really like Meta, but as an Austrian myself I kind of think it’s annoying how she has to point out that she’s Austrian every chance that she gets.

overall, I think this was my favorite episode so far. The reading challenge was so good. And I’m really looking forward to see what characters they’re gonna do in the snatch game. I’m hoping for Nina Hagen, Heidi Klum and Katja Burkhard.

and finally, I don’t know how to feel about all the English on the show. Like, I understand that English has had an enormous impact on drag culture and I think it’s interesting to see how the English language has made its way into regular conversations, but with some of them it feels like their idea of drag is only what they saw on American drag race and when they make snarky comments to each other it’s entirely in English.
