July 16Jul 16 Gutted we have to wait another month!Based on that MTQ looks like Brigiding, Vinas and Khianna didn't come to play! I think Arizona, Siam and Yuhua look like they're going to be absolutely unhinged too :D

July 19Jul 19 This feels like such a fever dream season I can’t believe it’s so close to being on our screens, I feel like this is going to be a up there with the best seasons!!
July 30Jul 30 Author Slaysian Royale trailer has dropped! 2 weeks to go until the premiere!@J00prstar
July 30Jul 30 any opportunity to see jimbo is a good day. also was that a clip of suki doll slaying the house down boots? i’m sat.
July 30Jul 30 For me the best thing about this trailer is the confirmation it's NOT fully/majority in English !
July 30Jul 30 4 hours ago, J00prstar said:For me the best thing about this trailer is the confirmation it's NOT fully/majority in English !Spillers said they had translators on set so presumably it still is mostly Tagalog, Bernie for example I don’t believe speaks the best English. I trust they will actually do it fairly and obviously Tagalog and English are used interchangeably a bit in the show anyway.Drag Race Thailand 2 was a gag when they had non Thai queens on but they just went “oh well do whatever you can” and the queens who spoke a bit of English had to basically guide them. And Vanda still ate that season without speaking a word of Thai, mother.
July 30Jul 30 I still remember Vanda slaying that Rusical and the lipsync against Genie without speaking a word of the language, but knowing the rough meaning of the song. Pangina was going crazy watching her!Its a relief bc I thought Thailand 3 had too much English in it.
August 13Aug 13 Author The top two of the week was absolutely correct. However, it should've been Sum Ting Wong that was sent home this week. Not Madame Yoko.
August 13Aug 13 Sum Ting Wong was bottom 1 teas tbh, what on earth was that 2nd runway and the random push ups?! And she’s just not likeable either, I wasn’t a fan anyway tbh but this hasn’t swayed me. Madame Yoko I feel has more to give, at least a design challenge would have been nice to see her do.Pleasantly surprised Siam was in the top, she did do really well!! She also kind of ate that lipsync despite not knowing a word lmfao. Honestly I think weighing up everything including the Q&A I’d have Arizona in the top as well? I also loved Kitty, Khianna and Bernie this week. This is a really strong crop of queens but Ivory, Yoko and Sum Ting Wong are a bit set up here for the level of their drag sadly lol
August 14Aug 14 So now that it's started airing I can say about Sum Ting that (which is a shame because I was liking her portrayal up to the post judging moments) she is known for being a diva on the local scene in the sense of stuff like unpleasant/demanding to venue staff & very me me me so. Unfortunately this behaviour didn't surprise me at all.I think she's improved her body and her fashion looks on this season. Taste level and storytelling still kind of questionable which is unfortunate when she's against powerhouses like Brigiding and Khianna.Ngl but nearly all the internationals are giving early out.
August 14Aug 14 Really enjoyed the episode in general though! even if I didn't expect when this was announced to be watching this while recovering from a surgery!Khianna bodied this ep and Siam, Brigiding and Arizona were great too. I thought it was kinda notable that all of the Western queens perceived the pageant as a comedy challenge with mostly questionable results.Loved how honest while respectful Maxie was as a judge. Straight up saying she just didn't like some things. Also thought it was unexpected and respectful of Jimbo to have learned some Tagalog phrases before coming to the panel here. Unlike Alyssa Edwards at DRES clearly unable to speak or understand a single word of Spanish despite coming from Texas!I guess the runway prompt was maybe poorly explained because it was meant to be show YOUR PERSONAL heritage as an asian person, but most of the internationals perceived it as 'show something about your original season's country'.Main characters after this ep seem to be Khianna, Brigiding, Arizona and Yuhua. The last 2 are having such great commentary!
August 20Aug 20 Ok I didn't expect Sum Ting Wong to be so obviously impossible to work with that they couldn't even give her a good edit around it - it's kind of a shame but she wasn't even a good villain, this is like the worst of all worlds.She a) showed she improved in the challenges and upskilled from last time but b) was intensely dislikeable, whiny and a shit stirrer and c) played the victim more than once in just two episodes! Not a good look miss thing. Even before she basically put an ethnic slur in her girlgroup lyrics too!
August 21Aug 21 Author Welcome back to another week of Maxie looking at Sum Ting Wong in disgust. This week, Maxie looks at Sum in disgust during her girl groups performance.@J00prstar
August 22Aug 22 Author Based off of both the runways and performances in the challenge, I would've put Sum Ting Wong and Yuhua as the bottom 2. Ivory should've been safe based off of her runway look.Out of the queens in the losing girl group, Kitty was the one with the best performance. I also enjoyed the performances of Viñas, Khianna and Arizona. In my opinion, Khianna should've been in the top 2 instead of Arizona.My favourite runways this episode were Khianna, Kitty Space, Siam Phusri, Suki Doll and Viñas DeLuxe.Viñas made the right decision in sending Sum packing. Yuhua has more to bring to the table than Sum does. Edited August 22Aug 22 by DanielCarey
