Relampago. Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 Barely watched this season but the payola is apparent even to me
ALittleGauche Posted October 13, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022 The overreaction in here. PPN won the finale episode. She was the only one who brought showstopping gowns to the runway and had two solid final lip syncs. Marina won the season with her track record.

Shendelzare Posted October 13, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022 Just noticed how Xilo is well-received in other countries but filipinos are so divided when it comes to her

Was kinda shook when people hated her cuz I expected them to like her cuz she reminded me of the queens from old Drag Race seasons. hope we get to see her on TV again Edited October 13, 2022 by #1Pokpaker

This. It's only the Filipino fans who are hypercritical of the show and its technical aspects but the international audience doesn't seem to mind. The first seasons of US, Canada and UK weren't all that polished either but there's always room for improvement. The authenticity and talent of the queens is what really matter and the girls definitely delivered that
ALittleGauche Posted October 13, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022 Is there a big enough pool of drag queens in the Philippines to warrant a season 2? Or is season 1’s cast the crème de la crème of what the country has to offer?
shark_heather Posted October 13, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022 Well ... 1. Eva didn't belong in the final . Minty should have been there 2. Marina and Xi were carrying the entire season , they should have been the top2
shark_heather Posted October 13, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022 BUT based on the lipsyncs , PP was better than Eva AND Marina so the decision was correct

Some queens I'd like to see in season 2: (she'll be in QOTU2)

The episodes were SO long, camera work was terrible in the werk room and I had to skip most of Mama Pao, she came off very awkward most of the time despite showing potential in the first two episodes. I’m just saying I wouldn’t rewatch the season. The cast and challenges were ok.
genetic fail Posted October 13, 2022 Author Posted October 13, 2022 The Xilhouette montage in the finale was so iconic
Rigalo Posted October 13, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022 I can’t believe xihlo didn’t win lmao she was getting winner edit all season

Iconic. @Hephaestus how are you doing sis?
Hector Posted October 14, 2022 Posted October 14, 2022 Precious won the first lipsync and Marina's win in her lipsync was the best performance all night, a star The final lipsync was nearly equal but PPN did give a bit more effort in her dancing and the final rainbow banner was a nice touch. She wasn't my personal choice of a winner but I can see why she won based on the finale.

ucanfma Posted October 15, 2022 Posted October 15, 2022 uh what a stupid decision xilo or marina should have won the payola was real with precoius all the season and all the nectar connection mentioning xilo marina minty and even brigidingdingding is more memorable than the actual winner what a waste ending of a great season
Almodusa Posted October 15, 2022 Posted October 15, 2022 That final Untucked was so unnecessary/wasted
NumbSoul Posted October 15, 2022 Posted October 15, 2022 Congrats to Precious! That was a super fun season, so I hope they get renewed Now the finale... I didn't love how they basically copied the US format, but on the regular stage. It felt a little awkward and weird. The runways were super fun! Marina and Precious really ate theirs, but everyone had some cute moments. The lipsyncs were SUPER fun actually! Precious definitely won hers and Marina DEVOURED Xilhouette in the second, so I think the Top2 was deserved. The final lipsync was amazing and super close. As a Marina stan, I do think Precious did a lil better. Precious winning... I mean, it was obvious from the edit for quite some time, at least imo. I'm not mad, cause she did slay the finale, but idk if it was enough to put her above Marina (who also was amazing this episode). I hope Marina gets to do an All Stars/VS season and KILL IT, cause she's a star
