Recap of Previous Season 2
The eighth episode of the second season of Drag Race France was titled “Queen Twice Over”. In this episode, the top four queens had to perform two different versions of the same song, one in French and one in English, and showcase their versatility and charisma. The song was “I’m a Winner, Baby”, the official theme song of the show, sung by Nicky Doll. The queens also had to record a podcast interview with Nicky Doll and Daphné Bürki and walk the runway in their best drag.
The queens performed their songs in pairs, with Keiona and Sara Forever in one team, and Piche and Punani in another. Keiona and Sara Forever impressed the judges with their energy, chemistry, and bilingual skills, while Piche and Punani struggled with their vocals, choreography, and stage presence. On the runway, Keiona stunned the judges with her futuristic and glamorous look, Sara Forever dazzled them with her elegant and sophisticated gown, Piche disappointed them with her basic and unpolished outfit, and Punani surprised them with her colorful and whimsical dress.
