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.
Wednesday at 15:261 day 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.
Wednesday at 15:261 day Author Also, it's not a season of Drag Race Philippines without technical issues.
Wednesday at 20:271 day 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
19 hours ago19 hr 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.
19 hours ago19 hr 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!
