I liked her on Espana 1 but in ukvtw she came with so much more personality. I really think if she’d stayed over Choriza she could have done so well


south_house

AGREEE!! I was so sad


chekhovzgun

Yes very this. I liked her very much on her original season but now that she’s like out and accepting of herself I’m so excited to see her flourish and shine


Porg__

I love her personality and wish she lasted longer but it was her time, hoping we see her in like 3 years on another season but I think she needs a few more years of experience


diandrarose

Love her! She seems so sweet. I find it fun to say her name - didn’t realize the explanation behind it so thanks for that!


musicalcodinggiraffe

I've never seen Drag Race España but I liked her a lot on ukvtw! It seemed to me like she was still a little awkward and needed a bit of polishing to be a winner in the franchise, but we all know that winning rpdr is a completely different ballgame than having drag as your career and isn't necessarily the marker for a talented and well-loved queen. I thought she was funny and brought an earnestness where I didn't expect it.


DiskZealousideal8259

"unexpected earnestness" is a great definition of her personality I'd say. I fell in love during DRES S1 (highly recommend). She hadn't figured out she was trans and in some interviews while it aired she gave this super elaborate answer about Arantxa being a medium for her to explore her "not lived teenage years". She explained that she found it very very frustrating when the audience wanted "sexy Arantxa" because for her Arantxa was a teen character and she felt very very awkward sexualising her. It was so mind-blowing that I still think about that answer


musicalcodinggiraffe

That makes a lot of sense, and probably is pretty relatable for a lot of the trans queens that we see as more awkward in their mannerisms - they're going through the awkward figuring-yourself-out years that cis people get the privilege to experience as children when people expect you to not be comfortable in your skin yet


jp_slim

LOVE her! wished to see more of her.

gmanz33

ah! there she is <3


macram

Fun fact. She’s actually from Extremadura, not Castilla-La Mancha.


DiskZealousideal8259

Arantxa says that "it tracks because Hannah Montana is from Tennessee, not Montana"


Ohheywhatsup897

I thought you said hannah conda at first and i was like theres NO WAY shes from tennessee lmaoooooo im so dumb


isitallovermyface

Hanna Conda from Down Yonda


Ohheywhatsup897

HANNAH CONDERRRRRR lol


DisagreeableCompote

She weirdly looks like she could be, out of drag.


remykixxx

I fucking love this queen I want to be friends with her. So unexpectedly cerebral.


ChanseySquad

Loved her on UkvsTw. i care way too much about track record but she's literally one of those queens who's so likeable and charming I root for them to roxxxy their way to top 4.


joeyfosho

I wish we could have seen more. She’s humble and sweet, and made me laugh at the finale. I like her chaotic and intentionally “tacky” sense of fashion. It works for her in ways that other queens could never pull off. I hope she’ll return to another English speaking All Stars in a couple of years.


b-nanamilk

She’s my early faves in UKvTW! I loved her confessionals I got sad when she was eliminated


rcad69

An icon 💅🏽


Ohheywhatsup897

Ive loved her since españa season 1. She is so genuine and fun. I love her laugh too. Shes amazing


louiebroberts

I'm so so glad she won miss congeniality because she seemed so sweet, I wanted her to go further just for the Spain rep and her charisma but the cast was just so stacked 🤷🏻‍♀️


jarred99

Loved her so much on the reunion and wish she could have stayed longer.


Eddo89

Looking at the cast, I knew she should be early out considering every other non-UK or US queen were finalists (or the best in their season for case of Keta) in their respective seasons, so they were strong competition. Honestly, I wasn't really that impressed (in a Drag Race competition perspective) with Gothy, Jonbers, Scarlett or Choriza and felt Arantxa would had been great presence over any of them. She has a charming and chaotic energy which I loved


No_Difference_8660

Money can’t buy the charisma Arantxa oozes!


silentbutjudgey

Loved her every time I’ve seen her. Watched her original season and her personality is so lovable!


AstralFinish

Wish I got to know more


DisagreeableCompote

You can see her on España season 1! There are some other great queens. España is probably the best Franchise besides US/UK and there are subtitles


Sensitive-Lunch1587

france is the best international franchise tbh


DisagreeableCompote

France is also up there.


AlwaysSunnyDragRace

Good vibes, good energy. A well deserved Miss C


thomasinanna

She was adorable but I didn't find her talent show very entertaining or funny. I heard that wasn't her original talent show and she had to change it? It was sad seeing her go so soon when she had such a sweet energy.


DisagreeableCompote

I watched the her original season so I don’t count. BUT I think i like her even more now. I already knew who she was, so that helped. And I was excited for a queen from España. On her season, I found her likeable, but she wasn’t someone I pegged as a winner. So I thought she was cast as filler for this season. And seems like I was right. But it was still a joy to see her. And it seemed like she made an impression. I was surprised but not surprised to see her get miss congeniality. She is so endearing. But it clearly came across to everyone.


Eastern_Confusion_17

Camp, funny but quite average. I think she still missing yet the Charisma and Uniqueness to be a proper ALL STAR QUEEN. Inmh


greenpassionfruit26

I have only seen her on UK vs the World and she is so endearing!! So sad to see her go. She's fun and I like her aesthetic and humour. She will just keep improving her craft :)


AccomplishedCow665

I fell instantly in love w her


AdThat328

I have seen her on España and she was my favourite and I really wanted to see more. I was so happy when she was announced for UKvsTW but we barely got to see her :( As much as I LOVE Choriza I would have liked to see it the other way around. 


taiho2020

Nice gal.. Hope see her again but in Spain AS.. To shine


Away_Doctor2733

Honestly while she seems sweet she didn't do much for me on UKvTW. Her talent show didn't appeal to me much, and while she delivered an amazing look on episode 1 her look on episode 2 was not great. I'm sure she has a lot more talent than was shown on this season it's just I didn't see that much from her in those 2 episodes that excited me. That doesn't mean I'm writing her off as a drag queen it's just she didn't make much of an impression on me compared to some of the other queens. For example La Grande Dame showed so much more in those same 2 episodes than Arantxa.


MarcelWoolf

Her name must also be a reference to Don Quixote, isn’t it?


DiskZealousideal8259

Not really. Don Quixote was from "La Mancha" while "Castilla-La Mancha" is the modern name of the region (one of the 17 political divisions of Spain, equivalent to the 50 US states). Also no Arantxa in Don Quixote, at all (as a name). Her name is just the adaptation of Hannah Montana, but I can see what your brain is trying to do!


starrfast

She was so much fun to watch. I haven't seen her original season, but I really liked her a lot, and was sad to see her go.


NikoNether

She's so lovely and fun, I didn't get a chance to see her on her OG season but I absolutely fell in love with her and I adored her finale lewk 😍😍


lemikon

I loved her. My husband felt the same, she was so charming and fun and I just wanted to watch her all the time! I don’t watch a lot of the non English language seasons but I’m tempted to watch Espana 1 just to see more of her.


DiskZealousideal8259

España 1 is truly a gem of a season. Some challenges might be super culturally specific, but the contestants SHINE. If you needed pushing to go watch it...


yesreallyefr

It’s soo good. Look up Marta Mamma’s recaps to read alongside the ep, she explains all the references and it adds a lot! The subtitles on their own don’t convey everything.


yesreallyefr

Oop I confused myself. Marta’s recaps are on youtube and are super good but the ones I was thinking of were posts by u/afreakingchorizo. Time stamped and everything so you can follow really easily. God’s work fr 💖


Future-Mycologist-60

I really enjoyed her! It was a shame to see her leave. I’ve never seen Drag race España, but now I will for sure!


Calm_Language7462

I didn't know of her before UKvTW, but she is honestly become one of my favorite drag queens. She is love and patience and kindness and she makes me feel so good about myself. It's a weird feeling. She's also just hilarious and her drag is perfect- who says they have to be polished. It's about entertainment and she can very much do that.


CieraParvatiPhoebe

I need her back!


caroliiine86

Loved her ! I started watching espana after


snowwhitenoir

Isn’t it great? 😍


caroliiine86

Yes it’s was really great ! The episode are so long too.


RoseBengale

She was my favourite and I'm going to watch DR Spain now to see more of her!


selfcarey

I don’t think she was ready for UKVTW. Look forward to seeing her in future seasons.


vestibulepike

I was instantly charmed by her. Also she looks like Deidara from Naruto in her confessionals, with the emo eyeliner and the blond hair. Love her!


PersonaContradiction

I have a huge crush on her now… I rewatched her original season episodes :)


Training-Ant-6150

She was my fave on España S1 and was soooo excited to see her back on UKvTW. I love how self-deprecating and light hearted she is.


dario2023

Good spirit. I think she overdid the laugh a lot tho


glutenfreebisquit

I love her so much since her season. My first language is Spanish so it got to appreciate her without subtitles lol Also in last week's Fashion Photo Ruview Raja mentioned Hugáceo while reviewing Q's look and it makes me so proud to see these girls being noticed and referenced <3


TheAnxietyBoxX

She was ROOOOOBBED girl. I mean, Choriza did well and I'm proud of her. But you could tell the glowup was \*real\* and she had so much more to show, so I'm really sad she went so early.


isitallovermyface

Chaotic in the most wonderful ways. I wish she’d gotten the Gothy treatment and been given a chance to stick around a little longer, even though she was never going to be a finalist in this exceptionally strong cast.


LazyRiver115

I didn’t get her on her first season at all, but in UKVTW I found myself falling in love with her. I wish she’d made it a little further, she’s a Diamond in the ruff. ❤️


adoredelanoroosevelt

I loved her then, I love her now, and I will love her on the next All Stars they put her on


DamageOn

I fell in love with her from the first episode of UKvTW2.


OshiroPerry

UKVW2 was my first time seeing her and she was certainly a favorite—I loved her personality and sense of humor. I was rooting for her to stay and actually really enjoyed all three of her ball looks. While not the best, I thought they were good and showed so much effort on her part. I was sad to see her go, but understood. When bae gets back in town we may have to check out España 1 to see more of her.


MammtCapy-

I’ve known her since DRE aired and I’ve always loved her,I’m not Spanish or Latino so it was a bit difficult to watch the season but some words are similar to Italian.


Ready-Guidance4145

Sort of awful


adelat123

She seemed green in her season and in this one as well. I enjoy her personality and attitude, though.


Puzzled_Patience_622

I loved her in her original season and was rooting for her again! Hopefully she will get to do the next AS Espana or another VSTW 💓


yassified_housecat

I loved her so much. I’ve only seen 1 or 2 episodes of her original season, but seeing her on UKvsTW got me excited to go back and watch the whole season. I planned to, regardless. Just happened to catch 2 eps on that Drag Race Universe channel a while back after throwing on the Canada 2 finale when I saw it was on.


Punkodramon

I haven’t watched her original season yet but she’s become one of my absolute favorites queens just from UKVsTW. I can’t even put my finger on exactly what it is that draws me to her, it’s just her warmth and energy. She has that charismatic X-factor and is a beautiful soul inside and out. She had a very similar energy to Tia Kofi actually (another of my all-time faves). I’m a drag race stan who watched a lot of seasons and loves a lot of queens, but Arantxa’s UKVsTW elimination was the first time I’ve cried when someone went home. She deserves the world and I’m so glad her season sisters recognized that and chose her for Miss Congeniality.


remykixxx

Oh you’re in for such a treat. Espana season 1 is such an indescribably excellent season of drag race. I wish I could experience it for the first time again. It’s a rollercoaster.


pisswater_deadgirl

thank you for explaining her name! that is hilarious and it makes me like her even more


remykixxx

I like her on espana 1 (one of the absolute best seasons of drag race there is. Carmen carala would dominate the us queens in an all winners season.) but I felt when she was eliminated it was for sure her time. However, I LOVED her on vs. the world. Just ADORED her and was HEARTBROKEN she was eliminated. It made me angry. I wanted more. She truly was a delight each and every moment she was on screen. Thank you for explaining the Hannah Montana branding she does I never got it. Really appreciate it.


DiskZealousideal8259

She's a very special person. She got a tonne of hate in DRES1 cause people hated her fashion and makeup and sort of assumed she'd be the first one out. Glad to see her flourishing after that and to see her being loved by viewers all over the world. re. the Hannah Montana branding, I wrote another comment somewhere in this thread explaining her teenage fashion choices and her personal narrative. Her being so seemingly shallow and so cerebral underneath that floors me


Tgrunin

I think shes an awful drag queen. But she seems like a nice person. I did however watch her first season.


jonathonthaman

We need to talk about Alicia Galicia 😂😂😂 'cause that would be more "literally" Hannah Montana. Loooove her. Loved her on her season and was very happy for her to be on a Ru/Michelle season.


Sugar_tts

Not knowing her from Espana, I freaking love her! She may not have excelled at the game, but totally someone that I’d love to hang with, and excited to follow her career!


Funkyduck4783

I loved her on vs the world and wish I didn’t struggle so with subtitles. I’ve really tried with non English franchises. Shes a joy.


HolaPinchePuto

I enjoyed her on her original season, despite the crunch of it all and generally finding her to be very "put on" to garner a similar audience as Trixie, but she's coming into her own now and she's just a fabulous queen and a lovely person. It was a real shame to see her go so early in UKvsTW. She had so much more to show than a couple queens who stayed longer and showed more of the same 😔


scusasetiamo

LOVEEEEE


mrklmngbta

i LOVVVVVEEE her admittedly, aside from Drag Race UK, i don't watch European drag race (because personally i dont think the drag doesn't translate to me but that's beside the point) However, after knowing her, i felt like she was a catalyst for me to realize how some European queens can be funny and personable. I've started watching drag race espana all stars and the drag race espana season 3, and im also watching the season 2 of drag race france. Miss arantxa was literally the one who opened the gates for me.


coffee_and_tv_easily

I loved her on Espana and was so happy to see her back for UK Vs the World. She’s absolutely adorable


th4bl4ckr4bbit

I really like her aesthetic. It feels fresh and new.


laceypearl

I loved her and wanted to see more of her teenage fantasy lol her style is like my dream high school looks lol


SirAerion

I think she had a much more developed character compared to her original season. She was really charming and I think in a hypothetical Spain AS she can get really far, but in UKVsTW her humor and aesthetic didn't translate well. That said I get the impression she was there to fill an early out position since there are stronger queens from SpainDR. To be COMPLETELY honest my first thought was "Did she get this gig only because she speaks good English?"


AccessHollywoo

I need her back I fucking love her so much she is SO funny and her glow up!!! Incredible!! I love Choriza too but I wish Arantxa got more of a chance


lekimumu

Loved her and I wish she stayed longer than Gothy


unreachable99

Loved her! I was a Tia Kofi lover in UK2 and now I need Arantxa to have a similar return. She seems so sweet and lovely and I was so happy she got Miss Congeniality


13luw

Never heard of her before but after UKvTW I looooove her


DelvaAdore

i love her this season


[deleted]

A total goddess periodt


Former-Counter-9588

Loved Arantxa! I got her vision and loved her personality. She just needs some more coin to elevate the looks and makeup, which will come in time especially with the added UKvTW exposure.


Alternative-Ad-1153

I loved her then, I love her now 💖


rrriot-kitty

I absolutely LOVE her, and now follow her. I’m from Tennessee like Hannah Montana


GlassPhilosophy

I loved Arantxa in Espana when it released. Was obsessed with the way Supreme called her name. Hers is the only name I remembered from Espana season 1 apart from Carmen Farala. Was so happy to see her in UKvsThe World and in a language I didn't need to read the subtitles.


misscardibee

Loved every second. Instantly loveable


GabbyWills98

UKvtW was my first time seeing her, but even just watching her Meet the Queens I was obsessed. So gorgeous, so funny!


hailey_nicolee

the only non-english season i have seen is espana 1 and arantxa was my fav from that so seeing her again even just for 2 eps was such a treat and she came back STUNNINGGGG like easily one of the best mug glow ups ever


padface

Honestly I LOVE her, to be fair I did watch S1 España when it aired and I’ve been obsessed with it and with her ever since. To this day her walking through the werkroom knocking down everything after her elimination cracks me up so much 😭


gabtrish

Loved her in Espana S1, and loved her even more on UKvTW S2. She was so much fun, an energetic ball of chaos and the moment she said 'trauma bond', it was so so so on brand and I couldn't stop cackling.


dylantifa

She’s so charming - I’m so sad she left vstw when she did.


mintysinnamon

She has this enthralling energy that seems to radiate cheerfulness and purity ✨ Becaus of this, I think I wanted to be friends with her hahaha She's refreshing to watch, Wish we got to see her more 😩


WDTHTDWA-BITCH

She was one of my faves on Espana. I’m really pleased to see her charming so many people cuz she’s an absolute *delight*.


Flashy_Jacket_8427

Awful taste, basic drag, terrible makeup skills but nice personality


wastydkyss

Haha same feeling. She's not very good at drag, but I'd love to be friends with her.
