The Lorelei is a rock peninsula in The Rhein/Rhine Gorge. It is associated with either mischievous dwarves or a siren who would sit on it singing to tempt those sailing past. The sailors would become distracted and crash into the rock. 🖤
The Loreley is a famous rock formation/hill at the Rhine river and famously known for the folklore surrounding it. Some stories mention dwarfs living in the Loreley to be making sounds that echo over the river. Later interpretations associate it with a woman sitting on top of it, brushing her golden hair and enchanting the sailors so that they would crash (it's also a quite turbulent area of the river). Another tales tell a story about a bride who was only in love with one knight, however many men were madly in love with her and killed themselves over the heartbreak, which is why she was accused of being a witch. She was meant to be burned at the stake, however the archbishop of Cologne sent her to a monastery out of pity instead. On her way, she climbed the Loreley to see the castle of her knight one last time and saw him in a boat on the Rhine, shouting his name, which led to him crashing and drowning. Out of desperation, she threw herself into the Rhine too and was never seen again... Also fun etymology: The exact origin is unknown, the -ley in Loreley however definitely comes from the celtic Ley meaning (slate) rock/cliff. The origin of "Lore" is disputed, it maybe refers to the echos that you could hear there, coming from the Middle High German _Lorren_ meaning howling or screaming which could also refer to the many sailors that frequently died there. It could also just mean lookout rock considering the Rhinish word _luren._ One last option would be again Middle High German with the word _lur_ meaning fairy, so the fairy rock.
Apparently there was a 12th queen, a big girl, that withdraw from the competition. She already was in Columbia for filming and then changed her mind. This is why they had to do the double shantay.
it's called Drag Race Germany but in TV Land we always include Austria and the German speaking parts of Switzerland in our reality TV and casting shows. Für mich, para mí they should've called it Drag Race ROOF (like in DACH - D - Germany, A - Austria, CH - Switzerland and as in roof like the roof of a house/building)
so excited yall are doing germany! as a german I WILL call yall out for the mistakes xx p.s. alexis we wanna see you in a dirndl p.s.s. yes, yall pronounced it correctly
I am so out of the loop on Drag Race these days I'm not even watching the shows I just watch your videos, and I keep being like, lol another premiere! It's been like one a week this month, which is crazy and if I'm not wrrong there's even seasons y'all arent reviewing, WILD. Thank you for your service.
Love that you two are doing like every season that is out right now!! 😍🤗👏👏👏 i hope yall are gonna have a video for the finale of mexico drag race! It was so good 💁♀️💜
The Express reference! I see you Alexis because I worked at Express for a year and remember folding those pants. I forget the exact name but it was something like the editors, columnists, producers, etc. It would take just one customer to ruin the entire stack and don’t get me started on the camisole tops. Lol
Pandora Noxx is unbelievable and i def see her possibly winning but if i'm being honest i am gonna watch Drag Race Germany just to support my latina queens 🇧🇷 🇧🇴
Im a The Only Naomy appologist, she is from my city (Cologne) and have been to some of her Bitchy Bingo nights Loved your video and hope you enjoy the rest of the season 😊
I’m from Austria and I’ve been watching IMHO frim the very beginning 💜 I’m so happy that you review DRG, it’s like a full circle moment ✨ also my hometown queens Pandora and Meta are killing it, let’s go Wien, we will take home the crown and make herstory #TeamPandora 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It wasn't my intention to be so stereotypically German right off the bat, but since you (sort of) asked... Dirndl might look like it would be pronounced similar to 'bird'. But in German it's just a short 'i' sound like in 'him'. The rest was good though. As was your review, of course. I'll be looking forward to your videos~
Funny that you talked about the diversity, cause being from germany, i expected the cast to be even more diverse. Germany is a hotpot of different cultures and people from all over the world (especially the big cities), so i was a little disappointed! Nevertheless im very excited for this season
✨I showed my straight best friend and his girlfriend the mtq of germany, as someone who lives in Vienna, i wanted to show them the Austrian queens! When pandora came on, my friends eyes widend and she said „thats ****, she used to date my friend *****“, pulled out her phone and showed me Pandora as a Teen, and i learned that i even come from the same hometown as her! So so so stoked that you are reviewing the season❤️
gianni jovanovic is not the boyfriend of Barbie. They are just friends. Maybe the translation was wrong. In german boyfriend and friend are the Same word --> mein Freund.
34:34 Now speculation - had they maybe thought that they probably gonna do double save and that's the only reason why Naomi wasn't in the bottom? Cause they expected this bottom 2 to perform well enough for double save premiere?
I laughed tooooo much and replayed about 30 times the whole Happenstance she’s in double pants (Iiiiiiii’m lorelaiiiiiiii) 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 even Darby almost laughed hahahahaha
I mean depending on the tone 'she is already this old' doesn't sound bad at all. If you say it in the right tone it can count as a compliment 'I would've thought her younger.' Und nebenher - von unseren werten Schweizerinnen hatte wenn überhaupt Tessa etwas unten zu suchen gehabt, no offence Deutschland, aber The Only Naomi und Nikita Vegaz hätten da diese Woche hingehört... Side note - of our dear Swiss contestants the only one tha maybe should've been in the bottom was Tessa. No offence to Germany, but The Only Naomi and Nikita Vegaz should've been the bottom two this week... Neb'nher - von unsare weàt'n Schweizàrinnen hätt' maximal de Tessa etwås in de untàst'n 3e z'suach'n g'håbt. Entschuldigt's ma's, Deitschlånd, åba The Only Naomi und de Nikita Vegaz sen de zwa, de meinà Meinung nåch in de bottom 2 g'heàt hätt'n. Dirndl - the i is... pronounced like a proper i, /i/ - i recommend looking up the sound. It's the i sound in practically every single language in Europe. And something about the whole franchise name is sitting weird with me. It's three countries. Not just germany, but i don't think Drag Race Dach/Roof (reference to another comment) sounds right to me.
Damm was hoping y’all wouldn’t review this season I still need to catch up haha ok brb in the future (think I only watch the shows to watch ur reviews after 😅)
I lived in Germany for two years so I can give you all the references I’m so cultured just like Darby in Barthelona
Bar-fe-lona
only 2 years.. really
@@importschlager1986 it’s a joke mary
You mean, you lived in DEUTSCHLAND.

I'm from Austria and I'm so proud od the queen's from Austria. They are killing it so far. Go Österreiche!!!!!
You forgot „Oidaaaaaaa!!!“ 😂❤️
I just can't stop looking at her every time Pandora Nox is on screen! Her make up is mesmerizing!
Apparently there was a 12th queen, a big girl, that withdraw from the competition. She already was in Columbia for filming and then changed her mind. This is why they had to do the double shantay.
If Darby is able to hear her neighbor scream on the phone from the window, he can 100% hear Darby screaming "detesticle!"
And I love that
The way Darby says ‘Laughed’ recently really makes my British heart happy and I don’t know if she does it on purpose but please don’t stop

Victoria Shakespeares was like the twin of Fontana (Drag Race Sverige) - even down to a very similar drag voice. I wondered if they have ever met.
so excited yall are doing germany! as a german I WILL call yall out for the mistakes xx p.s. alexis we wanna see you in a dirndl p.s.s. yes, yall pronounced it correctly
23:38 Happenstance She's in Double Pants was such a BOP!!
It was fucking brilliant and I want a whole song now
omg jaaa(sss) - so happy you're doing Germany! I have to watch it UNVERZÜGLICH
Darby is giving albino Juno Birch
idk if u noticed but the paramount trio (mx, br and grm) didn't had elimination in the premiere episode
YASSSSSSS i was worried you two wouldn’t review this season DANKE SHÖN
The judges really put both Swiss queens in the bottom. Like they were so close to challenge Switzerland's neutrality with this choice. /s
I am so out of the loop on Drag Race these days I'm not even watching the shows I just watch your videos, and I keep being like, lol another premiere! It's been like one a week this month, which is crazy and if I'm not wrrong there's even seasons y'all arent reviewing, WILD. Thank you for your service.
Just finished and this is one of the best seasons already. Every episode is full of HEART and fun and TALENT! So proud of the girls and Barbie!
The feral energy from the both of you this episode is amazing
Love that you two are doing like every season that is out right now!! 😍🤗👏👏👏 i hope yall are gonna have a video for the finale of mexico drag race! It was so good 💁♀️💜
Darby, from now on you must make your pharmacy runs dressed exactly as you are in this video. I feel confident you would be served immEdiateLY💅
Yvonne Nightstand is a play on words for One Night Stand! Love both of you xx btw where is the review show about Drag Race Sweden? 😚👉👈
Sweden was so good! Did you get Fontana vibes from V. Shakespears??
Honey I don't think anyone was struggling with that one. Lol
last time I listened to yall on my commute I fell from my scooter and shattered my knee so I'm willing to give yall a 2nd chance
I saw yall like my comment my knee is still shattered

so happy youre reviewing Germany!!! i haven't had that much fun watching an episode of drag race in a while.
Pandora Noxx is unbelievable and i def see her possibly winning but if i'm being honest i am gonna watch Drag Race Germany just to support my latina queens 🇧🇷 🇧🇴
Im a The Only Naomy appologist, she is from my city (Cologne) and have been to some of her Bitchy Bingo nights

Köln, Welthauptstadt von Schwulheit!!
I haven't caught up yet, but I'm so excited for the show and your opinions!
I’m from Austria and I’ve been watching IMHO frim the very beginning 💜 I’m so happy that you review DRG, it’s like a full circle moment ✨ also my hometown queens Pandora and Meta are killing it, let’s go Wien, we will take home the crown and make herstory #TeamPandora 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The hardest working women in LA, perhaps, dare I say, the world 👏

The rest was good though. As was your review, of course. I'll be looking forward to your videos~
OMG Yeeees, so happy you are doing Germanyyyyyy
It's giving fashion magazine editor. Love it ❤

I‘M SO HAPPY y‘all are doing germany 😭
the hosts are not boyfriends btw lol
They are not boyfriends😅 "Freund" can mean both boyfriend regular friend but in this case the latter one is true
I’m obsessed with the all black lmaooo
Alexis dropping her phone brings me so much joy LOL
those taco girls sound like a fucking nightmare
Love you ladies. Thanks for reviewing all of the Drag Race entertainment
Also I think Alexis’s hormones are making her funnier and I didn’t know that was possible
Or she knows who she is now.

As a Brazilian, I'm team Kelly & Victoria all the way. However, I agree with you that Pandora is the winner. Shout out to Barbie Q, I just love her ❣️
gianni jovanovic is not the boyfriend of Barbie. They are just friends. Maybe the translation was wrong. In german boyfriend and friend are the Same word --> mein Freund.
I'm impressed with these German queens
*and Austrian & Swiss queens.
in case people don't know, it's extremely insulting & insensitive to call Swiss and Austrian people "German".
@@AgenderBee beruhige dich
@@AgenderBeegurl bye you know damn well it's called Drag Race Germany don't be too serious
@@AgenderBee OMG How woke can you be, it's Dtsg Race GERMANY!
Alexis fully clocking that Pandora was gonna win
omg four seasons is such a good spot i love that place i literally go there all the time!! skeeball is always a must
you both saying "Dirndl" is just hillarious. Love it, even if it sounds so weird
the dolls said: i dont speak german but i can if you like OW!
literally my FAVORITE channel!
4:16 sly reference alexis thank you
I’m so happy that you decided to review Germany!!! Thank you so much
Luv you girls!
I got a couple minutes in to the review and had to pause and go watch it, so good!
Came back to this episode to tell you i've watched that episode of How To with John Wilson with the guy weighing down his foreskin....good stuff
These Jackie-O looks with the sunglasses!! Ugh 😍😍😍
Thankkk youu for doing Germanyyy
If there isn't some Tess Tickle's Jalapeño Spread at the season finale mukbang...
all these franchises are really keeping u girls busy! 😂
If you're not ready there's a line at my bar I'm fully helping anyone that's behind you until you figure your life out. Those people kill me.
34:34 Now speculation - had they maybe thought that they probably gonna do double save and that's the only reason why Naomi wasn't in the bottom? Cause they expected this bottom 2 to perform well enough for double save premiere?
My girls working overtime with all these countries!!!
I will provide all the references my fave american girls will not understand
I knew it was No Hard Feelings the second she said low expectations, high reward lmfaooo
I laughed tooooo much and replayed about 30 times the whole Happenstance she’s in double pants (Iiiiiiii’m lorelaiiiiiiii) 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 even Darby almost laughed hahahahaha
So Funny 😂❤ but Gianni and Barbie are Friends and not Boyfriends😅
I mean depending on the tone 'she is already this old' doesn't sound bad at all. If you say it in the right tone it can count as a compliment 'I would've thought her younger.'

Dirndl - the i is... pronounced like a proper i, /i/ - i recommend looking up the sound. It's the i sound in practically every single language in Europe.

Like Dragrace Germany, ya'll killed this review. So many pants bits. 😂
That blonde judge in that blue dress looks like Vivian Vance from I Love Lucy amirite? Like am I wrong?
in austria, dirndl is pronounced kinda like deeandul xx
I am so happy you’re doing germanyyyyy yes
miranda priestly and andrea sachs look... ... good
Damm was hoping y’all wouldn’t review this season I still need to catch up haha ok brb in the future (think I only watch the shows to watch ur reviews after 😅)
Okay but Darby's lips are giving
I'd prefer it being Drag Race DACH instead of Germany
loved all the new girls! and great review as always
No Hard Feelings WAS really good. Correct.
When is the prince ep gonna go up?
Loved your review but Dirndl is pronounced „Deer-n-dl“
Oooooohhhhhhiuuuhhhaaah. I loved every moment of this (duh). Love yall 🖤
MATTHEW PLATT? LMAOOOO
Team Yvonne Nightstand ❤❤❤❤
OMG DRAG RACE GERMANY - I WON
barbie and gianni arent boyfriends haha that was a mistranslation
It wont play for meee 😢😢😢😢
For some reason this video won't play
You both look so twisted with the ring light reflection(s) in your sun glasses in the last 10 mins of the video
OMGGG SLAY😣😣😣🫶🫶🫶
It’s kinda weird to have Alexis say “in my homosexual opinion”
I hated barbie breakout's (lack of) makeup in this episode. And I hate not having a maxi-challenge, and I hated not sending someone home.
💜💜💜
why looks they acting blind 💀😭
A tip for the pronunciation of the word "Dirndl" - the first vowl is pronounced like the e in "eve" 😊
😂😂😂
Darby is what i imagine i look like when I'm hungover when i actually look like jabba the hut.
2 brazilian queens on germany while we having drag race brazil 😂 thats crazy.
Oh jesus, another one?
