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.
