  • This house, as a drag queen in a foreign franchise not judged by Rupaul, when given the invitation, will accept for the 'Rupaul's Drag Race: Global All Stars'

    Infoslide

    RuPaul’s Drag Race: Global All Stars is a reality competition featuring drag queens from worldwide Drag Race franchises, often called the “Olympics of Drag.” Each week includes a runway and challenges like comedy, design, or dance. Queens invest heavily in outfits, often spending thousands. While franchises like Drag Race Canada (judged by Brooke Lynn Hytes) or Drag Race Philippines (judged by Mama Pao) thrive locally, RuPaul-judged franchises, including GAS, draw larger audiences. The first GAS season faced criticism for favoring English-speaking queens over ESL contestants, though some foreign queens valued the exposure despite early eliminations. You’re a drag queen from a foreign franchise invited to GAS. With a medium budget from your community, some sewing skills, and only your flight covered, you’ll need to plan strategically.

  • As the chef, after achieving three Michelin Stars, you would leave the job at the restaurant.

    Infoslide

    Michelin Guide stars have been awarded since 1900 to highlight exceptional restaurants worth visiting. Restaurants of interest are evaluated annually, and if they are exceptional, they can receive between one and three stars in the guide. A Michelin star is a prestigious achievement in the culinary world, and earning three is extremely difficult. Currently, there is no restaurant in Poland with three stars, and worldwide there are only 147 three-star restaurants. Previously awarded stars can be lost during the annual evaluation of the restaurant.

During a gig at a local cruise ship, Brittany gets scouted by a large record label – Dee’s Big Hits – to be a solo artist. However, the contract also entails a dating ban.

  • This house prefers 'direct cinema' to 'cinema verite' as a dominant approach to production of video journalism and documentary films

    Infoslide

    'Direct Cinema' emphasizes observational filmmaking. Directors avoid interfering with or influencing the subject matter to capture events as they unfold naturally, with minimal interaction between the filmmaker and the subjects. The goal is to let the events speak for themselves. On the other hand, 'Cinema Verite' embraces the director's presence and allows them to actively interact with their subjects. They may ask questions, provoke reactions, or even appear on screen.
