Drag Race Belgique: Episode 6 – The Recap

The international Drag Race franchise continues to expand its empire – the latest territory to be colonised is Belgium.

Are you up-t0-speed? Let’s get into it.

The Main Challenge

This week’s main challenge was the make-over challenge.

This challenge is always a bit of a lottery.

The queens were assigned people and tasked with creating a mother/daughter resemblance.

  • Athena: Athena had the best storyline, linking a story about dressing up as a child and a mother embracing that.
  • Susan: Susan went for a Sunset Boulevard theme, which was solid.
  • Couenne: I like the way Couenne deliberately disregarded the mother/daughter prompt and gave us Drag Clowns. Counne is always interesting, whatever she’s doing.
  • Peach: Peach gave us a look that drew on Liege folklore. Overall, the outfits were fairly simple and we didn’t get much emotion from the concept.
  • Boop: Boop gave us stylish jewel thiefs – it felt a bit flat.

The Judging

Athena was declared the winner, Couenne and Susan were safe.

This left Boop and Peach in the Bottom 2.

The lip-sync

The track was J’aime La Vie.

This is classic Eurovision.

Both Boop and Peach gave us fairly similar interpretations of this song – finding humour in upbeat camp.

It seemed pretty even. I found Peach’s performance slightly more engaging, but it could have gone either way.

Ultimately, it was Boop who stays and Peach goes home.

Episode 6, done!

ATHENA SORGELIKIS

Current Ranking: Athena is a strong performer who seems to be able to adapt to whatever is thrown at her. She’s made it to Top 4.

DRAG COUENNE

Current Ranking: On what we’ve seen so far, Couenne seems to bring an interesting perspective to drag and is clearly the one to beat.

MADEMOISELLE BOOP

Current Ranking: Boop comes into this competition with a big reputation. The challenge was always going to be whether she could adapt her skills to the requirements of this competition. It’s been a slow start but she clearly seems to have found her feet. She’s made it to Top 4.

SUSAN

Current Ranking: I like Susan’s energy. She’s been very consistent throughout this competition and it’s taken her all the way to Top 4.

PEACH

Final Ranking: Peach came into this competition as tall and pretty, but she’s had a really strong series and demonstrated that she’s much more than that. Peach has been able to showcase her acting and comedy skills. She made it to Episode 6 when the make-over challenge was her undoing – beaten in the lip-sync by Boop.

VALENCIAGA

Final Ranking: Valenciaga has an interesting perspective but her slightly reserved personality has made it difficult for her to shine in this context. The Snatch Game of Episode 5 was her downfall, losing the lip-sync to Peach.

MOCCA BONÉ

Final Ranking: She’s a dancer with a sense of chaos. It was the acting challenge of Episode 4 that brought Mocca undone, beaten in the lip-sync by Susan.

EDNA SORGELSEN

Final Ranking: An experienced queen, Edna demonstrated that she’s likeable and gives good TV. I had her picked as a certainty for Top 4 – I can’t quite believe that they’ve eliminated her in Episode 3. It feels way too soon. Edna fell to a three-way lip-sync against Mocca and Valenciaga.

AMANDA TEARS

Final Ranking: Amanda never really found her feet in this competition – she survived the lip-sync in Episode 1 only to wind up back in the Bottom 2 in Episode 2, defeated by Valenciaga.

BRITTANY VON BOTTOKX

Final Ranking: We didn’t get to see a lot of Brittany but it felt like she had some strong looks up her sleeve. Unfortunately, the talent show of Episode 1 was her downfall – stand-up never seems to work in this context. Brittany was beaten in the lip-sync by Amanda.
