Husband was out last weekend so I caught up on this season. Overall a strong season to me. The producers went all out on this one and shows the US how it's done, just like UK2 did.

-The cast was very strong and unique. Even the fillers were fun and had something to bring to the table. The cast had a great fun energy to it. They brought the drama, the fun bitchiness we used to have on DR US and the innocent amateur feeling of a first season. Eat that Down Under.
The girls brought the fashion, the humor, the campiness and the dancing.

-The judging was fair all season long. There was close to zero decision I didn't agree with. Supremme is a phenomenal host being so close to her girls and actually caring about them. The judges were fair, gave constructive criticism unlike Ru, Michelle and the judges from Drag Race Canada. They really cared about the girls and it showed.

-The mini and maxi challenges were fun, innovative and well-thought. They made it accessible considering the language barrier. The Snatch Game was very funny even without knowing all the celebrities they were impersonating. Top notch production.

-The lipsyncs. What is it with foreign seasons having full on lipsyncs while in the US, Ru can only afford 1 minute and 30 seconds and overly edited ones? They were all in Spanish and super enjoyable.

The winner:
Spoiler:

Clearly one of the strongest we've had in a while. I'm so impressed by Carmen who I thought was not going to last long when she introduced herself. What a powerhouse from beginning to end.
And to think she almost quit Drag!! I respect her even more for creating 99% of her looks and being so damn good at it. There's nothing she can't do. I hope she will tour with the Werq the World girls in the european leg because she's serving.
Too bad she doesn't speak English because she would give all the other winners a tough run for their money in an All-Winners season. So impressive. And that final gown...perfection.
