Drag Den

The den is finally open! The “Drag Lord” Manila Luzon, together with her “drag dealer” Nicole Cordovez, and “drag runner” Sassa Gurl welcome the eight aspiring queens as they embark on an eight-week dragventurous competition showcasing their wit, talent and beauty to become the first Pinoy drag supreme.

Happiness fills the halls of drag den as all eight queens continue their journey to rise to the top without fear of being eliminated. Since everyone is in a good mood, the drag lord wants to find out if the queens can manifest their joy into a riotous night of laughter and cheers. Will they manage to tickle the funny bones of Manila, Nicole and the guest “drag enforcer”, comedian K Brosas?

Tensions start to rise as the queens enter their third week of the competition. A past unsettled issue between Lady Gagita and O-A resurfaced that forced some queens to take sides. Sassa Gurl, on the other hand, has another sinister plot in mind to test how the queens are really treating each other. Are they truly sisters or saboteurs?

The den becomes a world of fantasy with fairy tale characters and superheroes! But before the queens transform into another persona, an unexpected confrontation breaks out.

Filipinos are rich in traditions and this is almost manifested in various holidays spread across the calendar. And tonight, the queens put a unique twist and glam on these important or official events of the year on their themewear showcase.

Drag is not just all about fun, glamor and beauty, and the queens must realize their power to deliver messages that truly matter. In this episode, their voices are amplified with their visual interpretation of their respective advocacies – from bullying to AIDS awareness, and as a Woman of Power highlighted with an extemporaneous speech.

The new season is in for some major surprises. Ten drag artists strut their beauty, wit and talent on stage showcasing the Pinoy Kalyeah (Street) culture. The new rules also put more pressure on the queens, prompting them to clash not just onstage, but in the arcade as well. P-Pop stars BINI, Pop-rock icon Yeng Constantino and season 1 Drag Supreme NAIA sit in the judges’ panel.

One queen bid farewell and this is no laughing matter (or is it?) for the 9 remaining queens. In this round, they must showcase their witty interpretation of Pinoy camp and give a fun performance in parlor-themed Pinoy comedy musical. Can their stage antics get some LOL from Pinoy comedy icon, Rufa Mae Quinto and drag lord Manila Luzon?

Eight drag queens entered the underground arcade with Sassa Gurl revealing episode two's rankings. She also announced the themewear for the third episode, which is Pinoy Supersti-Chos. For the Main Drag Showdown, the queens are dressed up in their given horror-version horoscopes to participate in a haunted house.

The seven remaining queens transform into their own anime and alien characters and summon all their powers to stay in the competition. In this fantasy-inspired round, fight scenes won’t only happen onstage as the queens grill the youngest one at the arcade about her sincerity in this pageant. Cosplay icon Alodia Gosiengfiao joins the drag cartel as guest judge.

The queens relive their campus fantasies as Miss Intrams and Prom Queen, while baring their soul with their struggles as queer students back in the day. Will their performance place them on the Honors List or kick them out of the den at the end of this round? The cartel decides together with Gen Z queen and actress Andrea Brillantes.

It’s a battle of wits in this semi-final round and the five remaining queens must let their voices be heard. Their statement swimwear and empowered Pinay looks may not be enough to score high in this round, as they need to speak up this time to impress the cartel and the “captain”, Golden Globe nominee Dolly de Leon.
