Drag Race Down Under returned for Season 2 on Saturday, and it was nothing short of entertaining. Ten new queens made their debut, and it appears that the ongoing season will be more fiery than previous seasons. While there were fans who enjoyed the first episode, many complained about the production quality.
Season 2 of Drag Race Down Under was titled Grand Opening. Ten queens took the stage, competing in a variety of challenges such as a maxi challenge and a lip sync performance. At the end of the episode, Sydney-based drag queen Faux Fur was eliminated from the competition and lost her chance to compete for the title. Episode 1 also featured two guest judges, Robert Irwin and Bindi Irwin.
After watching the episode, viewers were left with mixed reactions. They took to social media to share their opinions on the Season 2 premiere of Drag Race Down Under.
Fans on social media found fault with production and editing in Drag Race Down Under in Season 2, Episode 1
While some enjoyed the season premiere, a few also claimed that they weren't fans of the series. Some fans took to Twitter to say that the season had redeemed itself. A few other fans shared that it was a "major upset".
Aside from their disagreements about the season premiere, they all agreed on one point: the lighting, editing, and production quality of the iconic reality TV series. According to fans, these were not up to the mark.
Faux Fur eliminated after Episode 1 of Drag Race Down Under Season 2
Molly Poppinz won the premiere episode of Drag Race Down Under Season 2 after wowing the judges with her maxi challenge. The two queens who found themselves at the bottom were Faux Fur and Spankzie Jackson. To determine who stayed and who got eliminated, the two contestants had to battle it out in a lip-sync challenge.
They had to go head-to-head against each other to Kylie Minogue's Get Outta My Way. Ultimately, the decision was made by the judges. Mama Ru revealed that the queen who would be sashaying away was Faux Fur.
Who is Faux Fur? The contestant who was eliminated after the first episode of Drag Race Down Under, Season 2
The Asian-Australian drag queen entered the competition with an impressive quote. She said,
"You may wanna lay off that MSG before you get addicted to me."
In her Twitter bio, Faux claims she is "SYDNEY'S LOUDEST BUT NOT THE BADDEST QUEEN." The 27-year-old's introduction clip was equally impressive. She said,
"Faux Fur, she’s fashion, she’s fancy, but y’all can hear her from anywhere around the world ‘cause she is just loud."
Faux is of Vietnamese descent and has only been doing drag for the last seven years. Even though she has been in the drag scene for a long time, she only started to take up new opportunities a few years ago. Even though she was eliminated early in the competition, she still has a long way to go in the drag scene.
Drag Race Down Under airs every Saturday only on WOW. Readers can check their local listings for more information.
