Drag Race Philippines

I've been a fan of RuPaul's Drag Race and watched every season of it but lemme tell u that DRAG RACE PHILIPPINES is the BEST!!! The girls have a heart, and embodies what truly being queen is.

One of the best franchises of Drag Race since Espana aired! The queens are entertaining every episode and the drag is off the charts. One of these queens can easily be put on a US All Stars Season and make it far.

I don't really watch a lot of the non-US franchises (only watched a bit of UK, Canada, and Down Under), but THIS is on another level.

PH > US. Sure, there are biases in a way that I'm Filipino, and that the references present throughout the series are understandable for me more than international viewers, but there's just something about the chemistry and the personalities from these queens that is so much better than the recent years of the US series.

Also, it's so weird for me that "Pop Off, Ate" is so good that I had it saved on my Apple Music, compared to all the songs I've heard from DRUS.

The first two episodes were absolutely immaculate, the lipsync performances and song choices were on point.

The editing and pacing could use some adjustments, but overall the chemistry of all the contestants is amazing and fun.

The queens are the star of the show! They are making their storylines and you feel that the producers are really just following where the queens wanted to take us. All the challenge puns are carefully laid out so that Pinoy drag race fans would really get giddy everytime you hear a new challenge.

Only time will tell how this show would hold up but judging by these two episodes it's gonna be a thrilling ride!

Leaving out a star cause the production design can be improved. Studio space is really cramped for example that camera angle/framing of KaladKaren with the slanted weave display with the black wall of the studio with the fairy lights in the judging panel shows how cramped this studio is.
