Episode 1 aired over the weekend, and a new episode should be out at some point tonight !

Really enjoyed the first episode (talent show), like majority of the queens, and Nicky's fashion are to die for.

Also Jean-Paul Gaultier and a former Miss Universe as guest judge for the 1st episode ? ICONIQUE!  You know what was even more iconic ? A Céline Dion lipsync;  LÉGENDAIRE! 

My ranking following Episode 1 :

1. La Grande Dame : Favourite ! She's giving me winner energy, already. Favourite talent show performance and look, and really loved her runway look. 
2. Soa de Muse : Easily my second favourite, so far ; Her and La Grande Dame are neck and neck. 
3. La Big Bertha : Obsessed with her name. Her talent show was one of my favourite, and her runway look was fun and an interesting take on Gaultier. 
4. Elips : She's quiet compare to the other queens but she seems like she could be a silent slayer. Thought her talent show was fun but that runway look ? Obsessed. 
5. La Briochee: Really love her ! Her talent show was great, although the runway was not my favourite of the bunch. Can't wait to see more from her though.
6. Paloma : Very underrated in the talent show. 
7. Lolita Banana : Her drag is fun but not as polish as the other queens ; She's above Kam Hugh because I think she had a better episode overall. 
8. Kam Hugh : I like Kam Hugh but she's giving me too much Aquaria/A'Whora/Sagittaria vibes. Her talent show was a choice, but she certainly redeemed herself with the runway.
9. La Kahena : Lost in the shuffle, unfortunately. 
10. Lova Ladiva : Definitely the weakest out of the bunch. She did bring it during the lipsync.

Ranking follow Episode 2 !
 

1. Paloma: Deserves all the praise in the world.
2. La Grande Dame : She has the "je ne sais quoi" ; I am just amaze by her.
3. La Big Bertha : Another queen that knows how to captivate our attention, although her runway look could have been better. 
4. La Briochee : She was underrated this week. 
5. Elips : She cracked me up in the skit when they were filming. 
6. Soa de Muse : Not her best showing but I still think she did a good job ? 
7. Lolita Banana : Runway look ? SHOOT. But I find her performance in the skit to be very overrated. 
8. Kam Hugh : Constantly impressing me on the runway but her performance in the main challenge leave me wanting more.
9. Lova Ladiva : Easily the weakest queen. Also keep your wig and clothes on.

Love her looks but she’s underwhelming in the main challenge for me. Still waiting to be wow’ed !

Oooh I like her too.

I've only watched episode 1 so far and I have to agree with you on that. I love her confessionals too.

[Elliott]

Me: Watching Drag Race France will help me try to become more familiar with French.

THE BALL!

French queens really showed how it's being done - I think they all nailed the first category, did good with 2nd category, but some struggled with the design aspect.

 

And the queens turned it up during the lipsync ! 

 

1. La Grande Dame : I don't think anyone can dethrone as my favourite. I personally think the win belongs to her.
2. Paloma : She keep killing it, week after week.
3. Kam Hugh : She finally showed up ! I don't think that she was the best of the week simply because I didn't care for Look 2 and it was too similar to her talent show. 
4. La Big Bertha: There's something that I just enjoy about La Big Bertha, and she nailed 2 out of the 3 looks. Her first look?  EVERYTHING.
5. Elips : Loved her first look, and I didn't think her last look was as bad as they made it seem ? She just need to look like she's enjoying herself. 
6. Lolita Banana : She did good but her looks are kinda forgetable, in my opinion. I surprised that she pulled out that final look but I wasn't fan of the cut.
7. Soa de Muse : Again, they were a bit too harsh on her but agreed that her last look was a tad bit too simple. 
8. La Briochee : She did decent with the first two categories but her design wasn't super good.

Based off the judges’ treatment of her the first three episodes, she really is Tayce.

[*Chris]

I am curious how the subtitles will interpret the jokes in the most recent episode  

[*Chris]

1. La Grande Dame: Finally her week! She did good in the reading challenge, nailed the snatch game from start to finish, and her runway look was stunning ; She finally gave them what they wanted.
2. Paloma Faith : Runway look could have been better but she's a star! That snatch game performance was A+.
3. Soa de Muse : What a comeback for Soa ! Nailed the reading challenge and snatch game, and loved her runway look.
4. Elips: Her make-up was A+ in the snatch game, and she surprised. Loved her runway look too.
5. La Big Bertha: Wasn't her week in the snatch game - felt he was playing himself. Her reading challenge performance was good though! And thought she did good oin the runway.
6. Kam Hugh : Look good but this was not her week. Everything we expected happened.
7. Lolita Banana: I like her but she's my least favourite remaining.
