I need to be honest.
So you're serious now?
Must be nice to have a boyfriend!
So you actually exceeded?
I'll give a fair fight.
This is Untucked,
backstage of the competition
to become the next drag superstar
of the Philippines.
So tune in to Untucked, ladies,
and sip the tea while it’s still hot!
Thank you ladies. While you untuck in the Werkroom,
the judges and I will drink.
- No, we’ll deliberate. - Deliberate.
You may leave the stage.
I’m very happy. Finally, I’ve got...
good critiques.
Like, the best critiques.
I’m at the very bottom out of everyone.
I didn't feel like mine was that bad but,
it’s just that everyone else did really well.
Standby, recording.
Five, four, three, two, and queue.
Oh, my God!
Happy Pride!
Fuck!
Happy Pride!
Happy Pridesary!
It’s time to celebrate and to loosen up, Mama!
Give me my drinks!
- Let's cheers first, girls. - Cheers!
- Cheers! Top 6! - Cheers! Top 6!
- Top 6 Bitches! - Happy Pride!
- Fuck!
Finally we can untuck!
Finally we can drink Absolut!
Thank you so much, Absolut,
for your wonderful drink.
Who do you feel is on the top and on the bottom?
Tops first.
Let's start with the tops.
Who do you feel is on the top?
I feel like I’m on the top.
Top of the world.
Shit!
I'm living my fantasy tonight.
- Work diva! - Yes! Diva Fantasy!
What was the question?
- Top? - Who do you think is on the top?
For me,
- I think it's... Jade. - Choose three.
You can do it!
Three.
Jade...
The three of you.
ØV and...
Hana.
- Hana Beshie. - Hana.
For me...
I think it’s me, ØV, and...
Hana Beshie.
For me,
I feel like...
I hope that it's me,
Jade,
Hana Beshie.
I'm on the bottom, I've accepted it!
I know I'm gonna be in the bottom
and I'm gonna lip sync
but I don't know who I'm going up against.
It’s either Arizona...
or Bernie.
Well, it’s my first time to be on the bottom and to lip sync.
So I don’t know what’s going to happen.
Me too, it's my first time,
but I will fight.
So...
Arizona will definitely slay,
because this isn't her first time.
For me,
I'm just annoyed
because my outfits keep holding me back.
I'm always...
you know what I mean?
If my outfits were better...
I could've been on the top,
but like,
my outfit held me back again.
I don't want...
I don't want to make excuses
about my outfit because
I brought it, so I need to own it.
And they gave you the...
I need to own it,
so I'm just annoyed that
it's always like this.
It's always my outfit.
And...
I get it, ‘cause there’re only six of us left.
That's why I need to be honest.
I don't want to make excuses like,
the meaning of my outfit is this and that, but train...
DeeDee Holliday.
Actually you’re always strong in the Maxi Challenges.
You're really strong.
- But when it comes to the Runways... - True.
I'm owning up to that.
If I'm lip syncing tonight,
I'll prepare to lip sync.
I won't count on the possibility
that I'm safe.
I won't do that.
I don't want to be a delusional queen.
I want to share too.
Joke!
I honestly feel like I'm gonna be in the bottom too.
Because I'm not confident with my outfit.
So yeah.
No, I told you that outfit's nice.
But...
No, I'm gonna prepare for the lip sync too, because
we’ll never know
what's going to happen.
And I want to say something else too.
Kidding.
I want to thank Mama Katkat,
because...
If I didn't ask for your help
when we were making
the storyboards,
I wouldn't be able to make that commercial.
So thank you.
- Just sharing. - You’re welcome.
So I'm in the bottom now.
I didn't expect that.
Well, that’s really how it is.
Mama Kat...
Is something on your mind?
No.
But like... okay.
It’s ‘cause you’ve been quiet since earlier.
Yeah, I'm not used to you being so quiet.
No, ‘cause it’s my first time in the bottom, Sis.
So it's my first time to experience this.
I don't know, I just...
Me too, Sis.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah...
I mean, yeah, but I don't...
How do I explain this...
It’s unexpected, isn’t it?
You wouldn’t expect it since we’re always on top.
And then there's one episode...
We’re almost at the finish line, then suddenly we’re at the bottom.
Exactly!
- Yeah, we’re almost at the end. - Our rankings were so good...
then suddenly,
we fall flat.
I told myself, "Fuck, I'm so stupid!"
I'm so deaf.
My ears are defective.
Just when you’ve almost reached the end,
that's when you
suddenly falter.
Like...
each and every time,
before I go to sleep, after I wake up,
my goal is always focused on the…
…the competition, but
I don't know...
I didn't make it tonight.
What happened to me is so ugly.
From consistently on top, to safe,
then suddenly I'm on the bottom.
What the heck is this, Katkat?
We're almost at the finish line.
You should never be too overconfident.
Even if you have two or ten Ru Badges,
you have a...
safety net,
in other words,
to win Drag Race.
- I wanted to say something on the Main Stage but... - Like what?
- What? - Like...
The time limit.
It’s not fair.
Jade exceeded the time limit
for the shoot.
Time’s up!
Last two scenes.
- Okay. - Pit Crew!
And it’s not fair for us.
- No, it’s okay. - No, no, no, it’s okay, no, no, no...
- We won't paint you the villain for the things you'll say. - No, no, no...
No...
You’re valid.
You can say it.
It’s...
not fair!
I panicked.
It was shocking how quickly time flew.
My scenes only had one shot each, but
I already consumed fifteen minutes.
Like, why was it so fast?
I followed the rules.
So I let it all out,
because I felt like it was unfair for the rest of us.
It’s wrong.
So you actually exceeded?
So like...
that was...
the thing...
- when I had the shampoo on my face, - Okay.
that was the scene that exceeded.
Katkat wasn't just stirring the pot, it was true.
It really happened.
Jade really went overtime.
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
I'm getting ready.
I'm not leaving the competition.
I'll give a fair fight.
I don’t know what to feel.
I honestly don’t know.
When Katkat sees something wrong,
she'll say it immediately.
Otherwise, she’ll keep it bottled up…
…until she blows up.
That’s how she is.
Kat...
I'm okay.
I don't have any bad blood towards Jade.
- Yeah. It's valid. - Wait, that’s valid.
- She just wants to express... - We understand you.
what she really needs to say,
what she is feeling inside.
She just wanted to let it out,
that's why I'm pushing her.
I know how she is.
She'll keep it bottled up,
if she doesn't say it.
No, at least I got to say,
yeah, like...
my point...
At least you were able to open up and say it.
Let's hold hands.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
- Okay, time to drink. - So stinky!
Oh, let’s cheers.
Let’s cheers.
- Bottoms up, girls! - I just want to say...
- To everybody that’s here... - Cheers girls
- and congratulations. - Congratulations to everybody, we’ve made it.
Girls, I'm so happy that
you were part of my journey.
Like I said,
I didn't expect this moment,
just sitting with you guys.
The...
Being with the super...
famous drag queens.
It's so heartwarming, yeah?
I have something to say to Mama Katkat and Mama Bernie,
I enjoyed my time here
- Yes! - with you girls.
When I entered the competition, I saw you both like,
"Wow, they've loosened up."
And it was a mistake on my part,
to judge you based on first impressions.
If this didn't happen,
if we weren't on Drag Race,
the way I viewed Mama Katkat
as bitchy,
would still be the same.
I wouldn't have seen the side of her that's...
You know what I mean? She's super nurturing.
- ‘Cause that’s what you’ve heard about her. - Yeah.
And with you too, Mama Bernie,
I wouldn’t have seen this side of you either.
I'm super thankful that
- we formed a bond in here. - Yes!
One... One thing that I’ve realize...
is once you’re here,
you don't have anyone else to lean on except for
- your fellow sisters. - Yes.
- I love you, girls. - Love you.
This is the most diverse,
most amazing,
most powerful,
most beautiful Top 6 ever.
And no one will ever come close
or ever take that away from us.
Yeeesss!!!
You'll give that same speech to the Top 5.
Sure, can someone write that down?
Hiii!!!
- Hi! How are you all doing? - Oh, my God. Hi!
Oh, my God!
- Seriously? - Hi.
- Hi! There’s no excitement? - Oh, my God!
And then suddenly Pangina walks in!
Of course we all went wild because
she's the first guest to enter Untucked.
How are you, darling?
- Hi! - Hi! I’m a bit out of it.
- You’re out of it? Oh, good for you. - Hello!
- Nice to meet you. - Hi! Nice to meet you.
Paint.
I went to Thailand for...
Asian Finest Drag Queen 2015.
That's where I met her.
She's so kind.
That’s why I’m so happy to meet her again in the Werkroom.
Why is that egg green, by the way?
Oh, you want to try?
- Balut (fertilized duck egg) - Fuck you! I’m not eating balut!
- Balut! Balut! - How old is the balut?
- How old is that? - Four days.
- I’m okay. - Three years old.
No, because one time I had a full-grown balut, and no one told me.
And then, I can feel like... the beak, the hair, the eyes,
the leg going down my throat...
and I was like, this is the kind of surprise no one told me about.
You need to tell me first. But...
good for you. I’m happy for you.
- Well, cheers first of all, for surviving. - Cheers!
I kind of want to come back here.
Because, as you know, I've competed before.
I kind of want to see how you’re feeling.
If you have any questions.
- ‘Cause I’m like really honest with my critiques. - Yes. Yes.
You know, I just want everyone to be better, and so...
It’s not coming out of a place, like me being mean or anything.
And I hope you know that.
Ya’ll Top 6.
Ya’ll Top 6 and no matter what happens from now,
it’s just the beginning of your career.
The world is going to get to see you.
And the great side is that now you are in
Drag Race Philippines Season Two
you can compete for the other franchises
like something versus the world. You know what I mean?
Why you, uh!?
It's real!
It’s real in the future, right?
And you all will be superstars.
And today, the challenge was about branding. So...
this is all just a way of prepping you into the real world.
I just want to appreciate your critique about...
about us. And that’s all. Thank you.
It’s very detailed.
- Yeah, it’s very honest. On point. - It felt correct.
That’s why we appreciate it.
Oh, thank you. I appreciate that. Because you will never know.
Sometimes people,
- take it the wrong way. - Yeah...
- But that’s what I love about the Philippines. - Yes. Yeah.
The queens here...
and I’ve said it since the beginning of my career,
Ya'll are one of the most talented people in the world.
I’m so glad that the world gets to see you all.
‘Cause you know, when it comes to lip syncing,
them Filipino queens
will be giving anyone a run for their money, okay.
- That’s the first part. - Yeeesss!
That’s the first part.
And, uhm, I just hope that anything I say
just helps you grow in some way.
Just think of it this way, in my opinion.
This is the time for you for the world to see you.
And this is the way that people to get to know you.
So don’t be afraid to take a risk.
Don’t be afraid to act a fool of yourself.
Because maybe you’ll learn something new about yourself.
I know that it must be super stressful
and you know... right now
this is the time if you want to talk about anything
I am here for you. If you...
You know, it’s not easy being inside
- and not communicating with the outside world. - Yeah.
Anyone want to say anything? How they’re feeling?
- Me! I’m... - Yeah!
- I’m feeling very sad. - Mhmm.
I’m feeling very sad because...
- It's always my outfits that's holding me back. - Okay.
- And I can’t do anything about it. - Okay.
Because I can’t go outside.
Right. You should not have any fear in asking friends for help.
If you know a certain person in here has your fashion game on
it could be like,
“hey, why don't I tell you a little bit about comedy
and you can give me a little bit about fashion.”
And so it's an exchange. You know?
‘Cause you still got time.
It’s not about having the most expensive outfits.
It's about being conceptual. It's about putting an outfit together.
It’s about editing.
Sometimes, putting more makes you look cheaper.
So it’s about learning as much as you can
in this short amount of time in order for you to grow
as much as a drag queen and as an artist.
So what’s your experience after elimination?
- I mean, I cried for two days. - How did you cope with it?
I felt like I failed my country.
I felt like I dishonored my family, like Mulan (Chinese Warrior).
But then afterwards, I was like, it’s a competition.
Someone always has to go home.
But in no way does that dictate
how successful you’d be outside the competition.
And that’s what a lot of people fail to see.
If you are a hustler, if you know where you want to go
and you keep knocking down those doors
after this competition
it doesn’t matter where you place.
I mean, look at Nicky Doll.
She went third.
And now, she’s a host of a fucking franchise.
And one of the most successful queens I know.
So this just goes to show that
this is a platform to lift you.
Where you go after this is, you know, how you take it.
Those are the inspiring words that could really uplift your spirit.
We really needed that at this moment,
because sometimes our courage can waver
from everything we've been going through in the competition.
- I just want to say, thank you for the words you said. - Yeah!
Like... Like...
- When you felt that you failed your country. - Yeah.
It's somehow the same as me.
Like, I'm representing my hometown.
It's not just about them.
It's about me now.
That part...
I think you learned about that...
...before I knew that was truth.
Before you know you’re representing a place, a group of people,
you have to represent you.
And I didn’t know that going to the competition.
I was like, "Thailand! First South East Asian!"
"Half Taiwanese!"
But then, I lost myself in that.
And I feel like, now that you know
represent you and take that off your shoulders so it’s not heavy.
You know?
And you have fun doing it.
- Thank you. Thank you. - And then they can be proud of you
- in this process, - And I'll steam my outfit.
Nooo!!!
- Child! - Ooohhh!
So I...
Safety pinned...
the fabrics...
I want to introduce you to this thing
called “a needle and thread”.
I think it would really help you.
And the other thing I want to introduce you to
is someone called, "a steamer."
- It would really help you. - Yeah!
But these are things that we can like literally so easily do. Right?
She’s very eloquent. I aspire to be like her.
I wish I could talk like that,
without stuttering, bitch!
- The last time we met, - Yeah.
I didn’t get any pictures from you.
And so like...
Let’s do something.
At that time, it was like...
- perform, work, do our thing. - Right. Yeah.
- I didn’t get to meet you personally. No. - Yeah.
And now...
I’m right beside you!
- Everybody take a pose. Everybody take a screenshot. - Class picture.
I know that no ones really doing this. But like sure!
Everybody take a screenshot.
He's like... "My job is just to keep filming."
"It's not to take a screenshot."
I should leave, but I want to say...
good luck to whoever is lip syncing tonight.
Because, you still have a chance to go forward.
But, whoever's going home,
this is not end.
I mean, no offense,
but my career is doing fine.
So, this is literally not the end.
The audience will love you.
And you could just have to keep pushing down those doors.
And...
Take over the world.
Let’s go Philippines!
- Yeah! - Yes!
I find her opinions to be valid, because
she's a very talented drag queen.
So you won't get offended by her critiques.
- Bye! Bye! - Bye Mother!
I’m taking the steamer because I don’t have one.
Ba-bye!
I’m so inspired right now.
- Yeah. - I want to be like her.
Like the way she speaks, the way she thinks...
How can you want to be like her when she doesn't do shit like,
Fuck you!
She said "I love you!"
The things Pangina told us are a huge help,
specially right now,
that we're Top 6.
True.
This bitch says she's feeling a presence!
I'm starting to feel a presence.
Here it is!
- Oh there it is! - They're looking at us.
Hi Love!
I know this will surprise you.
Oh my God, is that your boyfriend, Bernie?
But...
This is my chance
to congratulate you as early as now.
Because...
This is one of your biggest dreams,
our biggest dreams.
I want you to know that your talent is worth it,
worth being seen by the whole world.
And love...
I know that...
the real battle has just begun.
So, I'm here to support you.
Your family and mine are also here to support you,
your mom, and your dad.
Love...
give your all.
Do your best,
and bring home the bacon!
I love you.
Amazing!
I'm tearing up.
I'm gonna cry.
He's in another place.
- Where? - He's in Mindanao (Southern region of the Philippines).
He's actually in the Philippine Army.
So you're serious about me?
I got butterflies from that, fuck!
How gorgeous am I?!
Sorry.
Yeah, I really do love him, because he supported...
He supported me going into this competition.
He was the one insisting,
he would always offer to help me.
So he helped you with your costumes?
Yes, he helped me with everything.
Even going to Divisoria (Manila marketplace).
I love you so much, Love.
Love wins!
- Yeah! - Yes! Love wins!
Must be nice to have a boyfriend!
I’m really happy that
her military partner is
brave enough
and proud enough to even
show his face on international TV,
and say that Bernie is his partner.
Because if it were me, and Bernie was my partner...
Kidding!
I'm just kidding!
Oh, if you only knew...
Oh gosh, it's my boyfriend!
- Hi Baby! I miss you! - Oh, my God!
I was so surprised when my boyfriend appeared on the TV!
You showed the wrong boyfriend!
Kidding!
I hope that you’re doing well.
I am very proud of you and I love you so much.
Just keep fighting and enjoy.
I am always here to support you and you will always have my back.
I’m always Team Arizona
all the way!
Love you so much.
Cheers!
Bye! Love you!
Sis!
Tissue, Sis.
I love you.
Entering this competition...
my boyfriend was my only safe space.
I didn't expect I'd get this far.
I didn't expect to reach Top 6, I promise.
And...
I'm aware...
I'm aware that your costumes are better.
I'm aware of that.
I've been pulling all my strength from them,
my boyfriend,
my sisters in Cubao.
I know that...
even if I haven't talked to them in a while,
I know and I feel
their presence.
I'm so happy to be here because I know
that they're celebrating me right now.
I don't care, as long as the people
I expect
to support me, are there supporting me.
Sorry.
Don't say sorry, Sis.
That's all.
- Sis, there are five more people who are here supporting you. - Yeah, Sis.
You fucker.
One, two, three...
- Yeah, it's five. - See, I'm right.
- We support you, you idiot! - I'm right, aren't I?
So the others don't support you?
I'm happy that I was given more motivation,
and I'm pushed to do better
in this competition.
He's here!
Queens, last ten minutes.
- Yes! - Yes!
Drink up!
Timer girl!
Hey, drink this!
Timer girl!
So that was him?
I know the music, I know the song,
I'm ready to perform.
That's all I'm thinking.
I'm ready as always, I'm always ready.
We're going to give all the drama and the emotion.
There's a chance, that this is my last,
but I won't allow it.
So I'll keep fighting,
and I'll do my best in the lip sync.
so I can continue in the competition.
Queens, let’s go.
- Yeah! - You better werk!
Werk! Let’s go diva!
I'll put this here.
Isn't he the...
Wait, I know this guy.
- I know him from somewhere... - I've seen him!
I'm getting mixed emotions.
We’ll never know what’s going to happen on that stage.
Welcome back, ladies!
I have made my decision.
Captivating Katkat.
Bernie.
The time has come.
For you to lip sync...
for your life.
Captivating Katkat.
Shantay, you stay.
Bernie.
Shantay, you may also stay.
That was so hard, fuck all of you!
You tortured us!
I just cried.
I thought it was the end.
But, I'm so happy for this last chance.
