Drag Race Holland seasons:
Drag Race around the world:
All Stars & Vs. the World
All names, ages, and locations stated are at the time of filming.
Roem (10th)
Age: 21
From: Urk, Flevoland
*rings bell* "Heeft er iemand Roem Service besteld?"note
- The Baby of the Bunch: She's the youngest queen of the Dutch series, at just 21 at the time of filming.
- Naïve Newcomer: Fred notes that the main reason for her being the first one out was her lack of experience, but also tells her that once she learns from the more experienced queens around her, she'll be one-to-watch in the future.
- Only One Name: Previously known as "Rœm Service", she goes just by Roem in the competition.
- Punny Name: Her full drag name is a play on "room service". Additionally, "Roem" means "Fame" in Dutch.
- Sore Loser: Entirely jokingly so. But Roem inadvertantly starts a "tradition" for the first-out Dutch queens to read Fred on the way out:Roem: Queens: Ik zie jullie op het internet, en Fred: ik prik je banden lek. note
- We Hardly Knew Ye: The first queen to be eliminated from the Drag Race Holland, thus become this iteration's "Porkchop". However, astute fans of Drag Race knew her as the creator of the Rapal Dark Res animated parody series.
- Whole Costume Reference: Her Who's Your Queen? runway in episode 1 is a dragged-up take on Queen Grimhilde AKA simply "The Wicked Queen" from Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Patty Pam-Pam (9th)
Age: 34
From: Amstenrade, Limburg
"Nou meiden, valt er hier nog wat te naaien?"note
- Alliterative Name: "Patty-Pam-Pam" is up there with "Bimini Bon-Boulash" as a drag-name that's a joy to hear, and to say.
- Appropriated Appellation: When she did drag for the first time, a friend said she "looked like a Patty". Though she thought it was a horrid name, she decided to go with it.
- Country Mouse: Hails from the small village of Amstenrade in the south Netherlands.
- Out of Focus: Patty struggles to stand out in both the premiere and episode 2's workout challenge, and has less confessional time than the other girls. Following a so-so Face, Face, Face runway, she finds herself in the bottom 2, where she's ultimately sent home by Madame Madness.
- Recursive Crossdressing: For the Who's Your Queen? runway of episode 1, she celebrates the late Freddie Mercury of Queen fame, in a Freddie Mercopy ensemble complete with a replica of St. Edward's Crown (as sported by Elizabeth II).
- Textile Work Is Feminine: Sews all of her own outfits and has a studio at home to work in. Even humorously recreated Claes Iversen's dress intended to be the part of the season 1 prize package.
Megan Schoonbrood (8th)
Age: 32
From: Rotterdam, South Holland
"Welke queen gaat er door de knieën en heeft er nog wat op te biechten?" note
- Fangirl: For the Who's Your Queen? runway of episode 1, she selects Diana Ross as her queen, citing her as the inspiration behind her drag.
- Handicapped Badass: Megan is almost completely deaf in both ears and wears hearing aids.
- Land of Tulips and Windmills: Her Miss Holland runway is the Netherlands personified, complete with a gown patterned in the colours of the national flag that's also absolutely covered with tulips, and two windmill sails merrily spinning around her nipples.
- Named After Somebody Famous: She takes her drag first name from actress Megan Fox.
- Naughty Nuns: For her entrance look, she arrives in the Werk Room as a seemingly pious nun, then whips off her habit to reveal a far sluttier (though still nun-themed) look underneath.
Madame Madness (7th)
Age: 24
From: Maarssen, Utrecht
"Nou meiden, dat zit wel snor."note
- All of the Other Reindeer: It fast becomes clear that her fellow queens have a fairly low opinion of her abilities and style as a drag queen, as she's picked last for almost every team challenge, and many of them suggest she should have gone home earlier.
- Animal Motifs: For her Miss Holland runway, she takes inspiration from the view when flying over the nation — cows and lots of grass — and therefore sports dragged-up cow makeup and a tailored jacket designed to resemble the Netherlands' flat, grassy terrain.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Even in the Netherlands, one of the most open-minded countries in the world, LGBTQI+ people still face prejudice, and she recounts having had a very difficult time growing up due her Friendless Background and, most heartbreaking of all, that she was driven to suicidal thoughts on account of her struggles with her sexuality.
- Hairy Girl: Sports a full beard even in drag, though she usually dyes it complementary colours to match her makeup and outfit. She also likes to include her bare, hairy chest for certain looks.
- Important Haircut: Poor Madame Madness; she shaves off her signature beard in an attempt to show breadth and impress the judges, but it's All for Nothing and she's eliminated the same episode.
- Pun: Her entrance line is a Dutch phrase literally translating as "this is a moustache", referencing her beard.
- Whole Costume Reference: Her Who's Your Queen? runway in episode 1 is based on the psychotic Queen of Hearts from the British literary classic, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Sederginne (6th)
Age: 26
From: Antwerp, Flanders, Belgium
"Well, I'm here! I'm ready to win!"
- Appropriated Appellation: Sometime after starting her career, her co-workers started calling her "Sederginne" after a Belgian painkiller when her constant nattering began causing them headaches.
- Beware the Silly Ones: She's as jolly as you like, but doesn't stand for any sass or disrespect, as Abby finds out when she gives her the brush off post-lip-sync.
- Break-Up/Make-Up Scenario: The fourth episode begins with the queens assembled backstage, just after Abby has finished her lip-sync. As she leaves the stage, Abby makes a dismissive "get lost" gesture to the girls and Sederginne is having none of it, immediately taking her to task, whilst also doing a cheeky read of her outfit. This causes an explosive reaction in Abby, who calls her a "fucking Belgian" and a "fake". The pair make up back in the Werk Room, but Madame Madness notices an increased urgency and tension amongst all of the queens from then on.
- Camp: Of all the Holland queens, her drag evokes classic camp most closely.
- Fun Personified: Sederginne is a big-hearted, playfully camp comedy-queen, who always has a beaming smile on her face, even in the face of adversity.
- Gratuitous English: Uses English for her entrance quote and occasionally during the show proper. She is the season's only Belgian queen, but she hails from the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders.
- Heroic BSoD: Whilst preparing for the Shine bright, like a diamond runway challenge of episode 4, she suffers a serious panic attack, essentially going into full shock, and has to be taken from the Werk Room to recover in the green room.
- Love Cannot Overcome: In a mirror-time chat with Janey, she explains that she's considered quitting drag in the past, as many of the boys she's dated can't handle that side of her character, and the lifestyle that comes with it.
- Stock Shout-Outs: The legendary French queen, Marie-Antoinette — a Drag Race perennial — is the theme of her Who's Your Queen? runway in episode 1 and she sports huge Georgian-era panniers that she parts to reveal (what else?) but shelves of cakes hidden beneath her gown.
- Superheroine: For Snatch Game, she portrays "Mega Mindy", the pink-leotarded superhero star of Flemish childrens' TV, though her jokes aren't there and she finds herself in the bottom, where she's eliminated by Abby.
- Whole Costume Reference: For the Half Man, Half Queen runway, she portrays both Kermit the Frog (known as ‘Kermit de Kikker’ in Dutch) and Miss Piggy from The Muppet Show, though the concept is too simply applied to land properly.
- Writing Around Trademarks: Sedergine (only one N) is a Belgian brand of an effervescent aspirin (like the American brand Alka-Seltzer). Sederginne got her drag name because her coworkers constantly complained that her excessive talking gave them headaches.
- Younger than She Looks: Due to her old school style and mature facial features, she's often assumed to be in her fifties, though she's only 26 at the time of filming.
ChelseaBoy (5th)
Age: 26
From: Helmond, North Brabant
"Vroom, vroom, bitches."
- Ambiguous Gender: ChelseaBoy's usual drag style is Club Kid-esque androgyny, but she went with a more feminine approach to compete in Drag Race Holland; her finale, reunion, and season 2 Talent Show audience looks lean far more in the genderfuck style.
- Body Paint: She's the second queen across the Drag Race franchise after Nina Bo'nina Brown to do full face and body paint for her promo look.
- Cyberpunk: A good deal of her drag aesthetic borrows from this genre. She even sports a bright blue punk mohican out of drag.
- Large Ham: Not how you'd usually describe the mild-mannered ChelseaBoy, who prefers to let her fashion speak for itself, but definitely invoked for her Snatch Game performance as Joe Exotic. She dominates the game with her loud, braying hick accent.
- Recursive Crossdressing: Went with Joe Exotic of Tiger King infamy for Snatch Game, which at the time of filming had only just caught the world by storm. Her makeup is utterly brilliant, as are her mannerisms (and Southern American accent), and she deservedly is deemed the challenge winner.
- Time Stands Still: Representing the Netherlands' occasionally blustery weather, for her Miss Holland look she creates a dress, wig and makeup that are stiffly frozen in place, as if permanently caught by a harsh wind. Her excellent miming skills on the runway absolutely sell the concept to the judges.
- Whole Costume Reference:
- In keeping with her rock & roll style (and very much unlike the other girls), for her Who's Your Queen? runway, she goes with an awesome "Alien Queen" look that's based on the Hive Queen Xenomorph from the sci-fi classic, Aliens.
- For the Half Man, Half Queen runway, she goes with a look inspired by Mystique, specifically the version from the live-action films with a sequined bodysuit fading away into a nude illusion leotard and exposing most of her actual skin. Unfortunately, the judges were looking for a more literal interpretation of the runway which cost her the episode win after a successful Snatch Game.
- For the We Are Family family makeover challenge in episode 6, she and her best friend both portray the beautiful Martian Femme Fatale Spy from the campy sci-fi classic, Mars Attacks!
Miss Abby OMG (3rd=)
Age: 25
From: Breda, North Brabant
"I'm gonna show you ASS!"
- Break-Up/Make-Up Scenario: The fourth episode begins with the queens assembled backstage, just after Abby has finished her lip-sync. As she leaves the stage, Abby makes a dismissive "get lost" gesture to the girls and Sederginne is having none of it, immediately taking her to task, whilst also doing a cheeky read of her outfit. This causes an explosive reaction in Abby, who calls her a "fucking Belgian" and a "fake". The pair make up back in the Werk Room, but Madame Madness notices an increased urgency and tension amongst all of the queens from then on.
- Drama Queen: She's a talented queen but Can't Take Criticism and has something of a "woe is me" attitude, as Janey puts it.
- Gold Digger: Invoked when she opens the Máxima: The Rusical challenge, showcasing the Dutch queen in her boozy younger years back in Argentina. After her father tells her to get a job, she decides it'd be easier to land a Prince, or even better a King, and after realising that all of The British Royal Family (Princes Charles, William and Harry appear via amusing caricatures) are too young or taken, she sets her sights on the Netherlands' "chubby, beer-swigging" heir to the throne, Prince Willem-Alexander.
- Foreign Fanservice: Out of the ten Holland queens, she's the token Brazilian, though lives and works in Amsterdam. She also loves to show off her perfect ass and muscular, bronzed pins.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: It doesn't take a lot to set her off, whether it be Janey's critiquing style, or the dressing-down she receives from Sederginne for her dismissive disrespect, she flares up like a rocket.
- Not Even Bothering with the Accent: For Snatch Game, she portrays Michella Kox, an outspoken Dutch media personality, but decides not to imitate her distinct Arnhem accent, which lands her in the bottom.
- The Rival: She takes exception to Janey's blunt post-runway critiquing in episode 2, and the two queens butt heads from that point on.
- Whole Costume Reference: For the We Are Family family makeover challenge in episode 6, she and her younger brother portray the deadly warrior sisters, Kitana and Mileena, from the video-game smash hit series, Mortal Kombat. Coincidentally, Mileena was also used as runway inspiration in 2020 by Asttina from Drag Race UK Series 2.
Ma'Ma Queen (3rd= + Miss Congeniality)
Age: 30
From: Doetinchem, Gelderland
"Met mijn hart op de goede plek is de toekomst holographic."note
- Freestate Amsterdam: Ma'Ma smoked actual marijuana on the mainstage for her weed-themed Miss Holland runway, and they are the first queen to do so, though in ultra-relaxed Holland, this is less of a big deal than in the US, UK or practically anywhere else.
- Good Angel, Bad Angel: She decides to subvert the Half-Man, Half-Queen runway — as she finds the concept abhorrent, due to her non-binary gender identity — by having an outfit that's half feminine drag queen, representing her Ma'Ma persona, and half Hot as Hell, representing her inner saboteur.
- Madonna Archetype: For the Who's Your Queen? runway of episode 1, in keeping with her drag-mother vibe, she goes with a dazzling Virgin Mary look, complete with a huge cross sewn into the lining of her robe, and a crown that features flashing pulses of light. Unfortunately, the crown is so heavy and ungainly, it causes an embarrassing Wardrobe Malfunction when it topples off her head as she exits the runway.
- Nice Girl: She was named this season's Miss Congeniality.
- Open-Minded Parent: Ma'Ma's dad Hans causes emotions to run high on the main-stage and amongst the judges during the We Are Family makeover challenge, due to his unfazed, sporting and supportive attitude, both towards his child's drag lifestyle, and for being the only older man amongst the cast's guests to volunteer to be put into drag.
- Pregnant Badass: Her entrance look is a fitted gown patterned after the colours of Inclusive Pride Flag, and she sports a "pregnant" belly to match, symbolising the future of drag, and her role as a drag-mother.
- Statuesque Stunner: At 6'4" even before the heels, she's amongst the tallest competitors in the Drag Race franchise, and only Tempest DuJour, at a grand height of 6'6", is taller.
- Team Mom: She's not named "Ma'Ma" for nothing — best seen when she brings in a cake specially for Madame's birthday.
- The Usurper: Invoked for the Máxima: The Rusical challenge, for which she performs the final act and presents Máxima in her current role as King Willem-Alexander's wife and the Dutch queen, though in the Rusical's telling, she's power-mad and dissatisfied playing second fiddle to her husband and therefore plots to take his throne.
Janey Jacké (2nd)
Age: 28
From: Volendam, North Holland
"The OG fish is back! Forever!"
- Alpha Bitch: She's outspoken, critical and confrontational, and not for nothing was she voted "shadiest queen" by her fellow contestants during a promo interview on the Dutch talk-show JINEK.
- Appropriated Appellation: Her first name "Janey" comes from when someone called her "Baby Jane" the first time she did drag. She added "Jacké" because she thought it sounded tacky and also because many of her friends called her tacky when she started experimenting in the Haarlem drag-scene.
- Be Yourself: Her maxim; she's unapologetically herself all of the time (brutal honesty and all) and is quick to tell other queens (like Sederginne, who mentions how drag hampers her love-life) to follow her example.
- Bee People: She's goes with a "Queen Bee"-themed look for the Who's Your Queen? runway in episode 1, citing that there's only one queen in the hive, and that's her.
- Brutal Honesty: She's brutally direct when critiquing her fellow queens — so much so that Abby, whose makeup she read to filth following the Face, face, face runway, has to leave the studio in an absolute rage and go outside for a smoke.
- Celebrity Resemblance: In drag, particularly when sporting dark hair, it’s been noted that she’s a dead-ringer for actress Sarah Paulson.
- Culture Equals Costume: For Snatch Game, she portrays Anny Schilder (in Dutch national dress and looking just like her), a Dutch pop-singer who initially became famous in the mid-70s and is something of a national treasure.
- Disappeared Dad: It takes a lot to rattle this confident, secure queen, but memories of her late father are just about the one thing that can.
- Gratuitous English: She's not the only guilty party, but Janey almost constantly switches from Dutch to English and back again both in confessionals and in the Werk Room — and not just for typical queenly "kiki" quips and quotes; she'll literally start a sentence in Dutch and finish it in English in normal conversation. Sure, the Netherlands has an almost 95% English proficiency rate, so it's no surprise she's fluent, but it does seem a little excessive on a Dutch show, surrounded by her countrymen.
- Making a Splash: The Netherlands is a famously watery nation, so for her Miss Holland runway, she goes with a see-through plastic dress that splashes water all over the main-stage as she prances about.
- Mating Dance: Invoked in the Máxima: The Rusical challenge, for which she performs the second act, and presents the Dutch queen as "The Temptress", who uses her wiles and Argentine spice to Tango her way into Prince Willem-Alexander's heart. Her look is also a Whole Costume Reference to Argentine icon, Eva Perón, subject of the musical, Evita.
- Playing Their Own Twin: In-universe. For the Half-Man, Half-Queen runway, she plays her out-of-drag self for her "male" side, and her drag persona "twin", Janey, for her "queen" side in tesselating outfits of matching colours, enhanced by clever use of a mirrored head-piece to truly split the individual personas down the middle.
- The Rival: Abby takes exception to Janey's blunt post-runway critiquing in episode 2, and the two queens butt heads from that point on.
- Shameless Fanservice Girl: Whilst some of her fellow queens quail over the Nude Photoshoot mini-challenge of episode 5, she has no inhibitions whatsoever, can't wait to get stuck in, and is disappointed when Fred tells her that she can't show her dick — so decides to windmill it about instead. She goes on to deservedly win the challenge.
Envy Peru (winner)
Age: 31
From: Amsterdam, North Holland
"Je dacht toch niet dat ik het feestje echt aan mij voorbij liet gaan?"note
- The Ace: This season was Envy's to lose right from the jump. Few queens in the franchise have dominated their season so thoroughly, right from the premiere when the other queens are shook the moment she shows up. Ma'Ma Queen introduces Envy via confessional by calling her the Netherlands' most famous drag queen, and others are outright panicking. They were Properly Paranoid — Envy is the first and only queen across the franchise to win 4 solo main challenges by the sixth competitive episode, and never once placed below safe.
- Lady Drunk For Snatch Game, she portrays Petula "Patty" Brard, an infamously four-times married Indonesian-Dutch singer, presenter, and tabloid-press favourite. Her brilliantly observed mannerisms and drunken performance snatch her a place in the top two with ChelseaBoy.
- Location Theme Naming: Takes her drag surname from Peru, her country of origin before moving to Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
- Love Hungry: Invoked in the Máxima: The Rusical challenge, for which she performs the third act and presents the Dutch queen as "The Fiancée", who's desperate to get the Dutch people on-side and in love with her.
- Rank Up: Following her win on the Dutch series, she qualified to full on Judge status, making an appearance as a guest judge on episode 7 of the first season of Drag Race España (where her native Spanish came in handy). This makes her the first past winner (and contestant) to appear as a guest judge on a Drag Race series. She also took over as Fred's make-up artist for Holland, as her predecessor was season 2 contestant The Countess.
- Reluctant Fanservice Girl: In complete contrast to Janey, Envy finds the Nude Photoshoot mini-challenge distressing, due to Domestic Abuse she experienced at the hands of an ex-boyfriend. It takes a lot of Fred's gentle persuasion to get her to go ahead with it.
- Renaissance Woman: Envy makes it all the way to the finale without ever placing lower than safe, let alone landing in the bottom throughout the competition. She joins an illustrious group of queens across the franchise who never place below safe, and can turn their hand to any challenge, comprising of Bianca del Rio (US S6), Scarlett Bobo (Canada S1), Ella Vaday (UK S3), Kitty Scott-Claus (UK S3), Elecktra Bionic (Italy S1), Farida Kant (Italy S1), Sharonne (Spain S2) and Danny Beard (UK S4).
- Requisite Royal Regalia: Queen Máxima, the Netherlands' very popular current Queen, is the theme of her Who's Your Queen? runway in episode 1, and she explains that as they are both South American (Máxima is Argentinian) immigrants to Holland, this was a perfect choice. Her look is a dragged-up recreation of the Queen's deep blue coronation gown, complete with her "royal orders" sash.
- Strong Family Resemblance: She snatches her fourth maxi-challenge via the We Are Family makeover challenge, in which she and her adorable mother portray a pair of Peruvian alpaca herders in expertly complementary outfits.
