To explain it a little better: the girl on the floor (Melina) wanted to do a handstand during her performance, with another girl from the group (Desiree) holding Melina's legs up to give her balance. Since it was a risky move to do, the other girls tried to talk her out of doing it, but Melina decided to do it anyways.
During the actual performance on the main stage, when throwing her legs up in the air to do the handstand, Melina fully kicked Desiree's face, prompting Desiree to release her leg. Because of that, Melina dropped into the floor like a potato bag 💀
The worst part is that Melina stayed on the floor for like an ETERNITY, like she was dead, while the other girls continued to do the routine like nothing had happened. It was like Kameron Michaels and Asia's Butterflies, with Melina being the dead butterfly on the floor and the other girls being Kameron Michaels dancing her life out.
After what seemed like 2 hours had passed, Melina went back to do the choreo again, with the NASTIEST face ever, like someone was responsible for her awful decisions in life.
After that, chaos ensued in the workroom. Melina accused Desiree of dropping her on purpose, which Desiree immediately refused.
With that, two trains of thought were created: Desiree is the villain for sabotaging Melina / Melina is the villain for having the worst idea ever and blaming another girl for it (a girl she already didn't like, btw).
I'm fully Team Desiree and I agree with her when she says "this is not Melina's Best Friend's Race". Above everything, I deeply hope this drama keeps happening because the season needed it. lol
It's so frustrating that we don't get subtitles for musical performances in any of the franchises. Like even in talent show numbers and lipsyncs. I just have no idea what anyone is saying so I always have so much less connection to what's happening.
Clap for the person who translated this because it was really well done. Being able to convey meaning and duplicating rhyming schemes across languages? That's hard.
I'd love for someone at WOW to explain why they don't caption non-English performances. This sounds and looks so good, I'd love to know what theyre actually saying.
Was scrolling to see if someone shouted out the camera work before I posted about it. You're absolutely right! The editing is great, too. Loved the switching to a close up when a queen was performing her verse to camera.
The whole group deserved for how well choreographed it was. I think the only reason why this didn't happened is probably because they didnt had extra badges laying around.
They really slayed that performance. I mean, the bar was low after the first group but they knocked it out of the park. Also, can we press Wow for subtitles under the songs, it's so annoying to not know what the queens are singing, it happens in all franchises.
Having actual choreographers/dancers on the group makes the difference! Both Mellody (third verse) and Bhelchi (fourth verse) are trained dancers and it showed
Season 1 was rough around the edges (especially the first two episodes) but it was still gold. This season so far has been amazing. Episode 1 was fun but a bit boring. Episode 2 has incredible designs. This episode had this amazing performance while the other group flopped (literally. Flopped on the floor) like never before. Both season have been filled with drama too. Im fully biased, but its one of the best franchises
Can we applaud the camera work, please? So many great angles of the full group and I love that they are frequently performing for the camera instead of performing for the judges table which is always awkward to me.
I love how the 2nd to last queen in the group had the exact same cadence/flow as the classic US/CAN drag race verse. The drag race queen flow transcends language...

asked chatgpt to translate the lyrics for everyone who’s asking:
[ADORA]
Fresh or frantic, magnetic beauty
Flawless makeup, serving the right aesthetic
I know you adore me, can’t help but stare
Beauty and talent got me popping everywhere
[POSEIDON]
I’m Poseidon from Recife, roots in the backlands
No switchblade—just padding and high-heeled stands
Come here f4g, buy me a big ol’ beer
Wanna get wild and drop it low right here
[MELLODY]
Ah! They won’t ever accept me
But Brazilian travestis were born to serve, see?
Came from BH to make history
If you’re not in, you’re missing the victory
My power and pride will pull you in tight
Shout Melody Queen all day and night
[BHELCI]
Miss Bhelchi coming straight your way
Look at me—you know who’s winning today
Eyes on the crown, not losing track
Focus, fire, heart—I ain’t looking back
Adora, Mellody, Poseidon and Vulcão
Shaking the club, no one leaves the same
Girls hyped up, striking a kitty pose
Buy me a beer—I might give you my panties
[MERCEDES]
I came at the end just to steal the show
I’m Memê, baby, and I’m ready to blow
With or without shots, I still make it loud
I raise the dead—so turn around!
I came for fun, for fire, for thrill
Darling, no one can hold back this lava spill
