The first season of RuPaul’s Drag Race debuted in 2009 in the United States, and since then, the reality show produced by world of wonders is gaining popularity all over the world and, of course, Brazil is not left out!
RuPaul Charles, one of the most famous drag queens today, is the host and creator of the show. Each season, she mentors and judges the participating drag queens as they compete in a variety of challenges, all with the goal of becoming the next”Complain super star”.
RuPaul’s Drag Race: Where to Watch and Who’s on the Reality Show in Brazil
The essence of the show is that, each season, a different group of drag queens vie for the crown, the title of Complain Super starand an ever-increasing cash prize. Each episode has a mini-challenge, which grants some kind of in-game advantage – and often cash prizes – a main challenge, a runway theme, and an elimination.
The challenges range from making clothes out of random materials – garbage, plastic objects, and sometimes real fabric – to performing music or acting, standingimpersonations of famous people and the transformation of the audience or crew members into drag queens.
At the end of the episode the queens are judged by the jury, and the ones who didn’t do so well in the challenges make a lip sync -lip sync used in plays-, and RuPaul decides who stays and who should leave the show.
As the competition unfolds and the participants interact with each other, the dramatic moments, confessions, sabotage, betrayals, breakdowns, flirtations – and bonding based on traumas experienced by the LGBTQIAPN+ community – function as a way to bring the queen’s audience.
RuPaul’s Drag Race: Brazil
There are 15 seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race in the United States, and rumors that the 16th is already in production have begun to take over social networks, with the participants entitled to speculation. But the franchise goes way beyond that.
The first spinoff presented by WoW, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, which aired in 2012 and has since accumulated 8 seasons. This series has a completely different gameplay, where queens who didn’t win the original reality compete for a second chance to win the crown and defend their legacy.
As mentioned, the deductible endurance race it is dominating the whole world and there are already many countries with their own versions of reality. While RuPaul doesn’t host the show like he does in the US, UK and Australia/New Zealand, countries like Canada, Thailand, Germany, France, Italy, Mexico, the Philippines, Spain and the Netherlands – among others – have already aired some at least one season of the competition, which finally came to Brazil.
The character chosen to present the Brazilian version is the winner of the first season of Queens of the Universe – another series of the franchise. At 28, Grag Queen is the youngest Drag Race host in the world. The stylist Dudu Bertholini and the comedian Bruna Braga are also part of the jury.
