The season had seven episodes and featured eight participants who showed their dance skills, characterization, talent, humor and drag personality. Gysella Popovick was the winner of the season and was awarded with an international trip for two, a real wig from Lully Hair and a show produced by a club in São Paulo, and also being declared Brazil's most complete drag queen.[3] Yasmin Carraroh was the runner-up, and Rita Von Hunty was elected by the public the "Miss Arrasa Bixa," a Brazilian variation of Miss Congeniality.
The public reception was very positive, so in late 2014 the show was renewed for a second season.[4]
