==Drag Name Origin==

==Daniel's Song Race==
Bacalhau first appeared in Season 2 of Daniel's Song Race. In the first episode, she didn't make it to the mini challenge, which was won by Juliapeño. In the main challenge, the contestants had to submit a song that described themselves and their personalities. She decided to send "Pas Grandir" by Barbara Pravi, a song which talks about children wanting to grow up but looking at this wish from another perspective once they grow up. She was declared safe.
In the second episode, "Piano, My Dear", she picked "I Am." by JoJo. Despite being confident about her entry, she ended up being in the bottom two, along with Glennis Gött. In the critiques, the juries referred to the song as "a bad choice, really basic, mediocre, very average and safe". The results and the critiques this week started a conflit among the participants in the Workroom, including Bacalhau. The sing-off category was folk. Bacalhau decided to pick "De Plata" by Rosalía, being loyal to her Spanish heritage. She was declared the winner of the sing-off and sent Glennis Gött home, who had sent "Bean pháidín" by Celtic Woman.
The third episode started with a mini-challenge, Photoshop princess, in which the queens had to photoshop their faces onto Disney characters. Bacalhau photoshopped herself onto the Chesire Cat in a Alice In Wonderland scene, without winning the challenge. In the main challenge, "Disney Realness", the queens had to select any song related to Disney. Bacalhau selected "Eu vou" by Coro dos sete anões, which is the Portuguese version of the song "Heigh-Ho". For the second time in a row, she finished in the bottom two along with Jella Naddo. The sing-off challenge was to send a hip-hop song. Bacalhau sent "Corashe" by Nathy Peluso and won the challenge. This was the second time she was saved in the sing-off and she sent another queen home: Jella Naddo.
