PPN is becoming my favorite.. my god. If you didn't know, the PH has been struck by 4 typhoons in 3 weeks. PPN has (as she does regularly) opened charity lines and helped people out. The former Vice President of the Philippines even acknowledged her this week for her help. To add to that, my gosh the way he hugged his bro ;______;)
For context, Minty lost a friend to COVID, and on top of that the Philippines has a disappointing COVID response, she's basically anxiety driven because she knows one mistake could mean A LOT, and she wouldn't be there to help. She's very irritated and fearful because of this. It's still sad to see her pour her frustrattions out on her sister, but we know it comes from a place of trauma.
Brigiding's interaction with her cousin is how most Filipino siblings or close cousins interact with each other. The way my younger siblings and I interact with each other is very much like this but there was never any hard feelings. That was just the way we show care, by talking shit about each other in front of each other, none of the words we say to each other are true they were just "asaran" or banter, we way them in a joking manner, but we never talk shit about each other from behind. Also, we can only talk shit about each, in a fondly manner, but if someone else outside of our circle does talk shit about our siblings within earshot, they're dead.
@@Valeryvision yep. At least that's how we are in the slums. I don't know if this is the same dynamic in other areas. Since family norms and traditions differ from one social class to another. Poor people here tend to take interactions like these lightly, for example in our household my brother's "petname" for me is Ate Baboy(Ate is a honorific for older sister and Baboy means pig), my petname for my brother is Panget(ugly). Other siblings, close cousins or close friends give each other nicknames like Panghe(smell of urine), Tae(poop), Ipot(chicken manure, small poop, normally given to children of people nicknamed Tae), Kuto(head lice) and other nicknames like that, and we just laugh at whatever names we were given. I don't know if it works this way in middle class or upper class households though. The Philippines is still a pretty classist society in general and the norms and family dynamics differs from one class to another.
OMG, I felt so sad for Minty's sister, I just wanted to give her a big hug! I get what Minty was saying, but making her sister feel like crap wasn't the answer. Bad episode overall for me, with Brigiding leaving 😪😪😪. They really wanted to get rid of her, didn't they? That judge really talks out of his a*s sometimes (and it's not even the first episode he did that). But Xil 110% deserved the win!
Brigiding won that lip sync for me. It’s unfair that they didn’t even showed Brigiding that much lol. No bad blood with Minty, I love her outfits, I just don’t like her attitude lmao.
Absolutely agree with your take on Minty’s attitude this episode. I genuinely understand that she(?) wanted to protect her family. It’s a valid concern; her sister has asthma and is high risk and one of her friends (who also had asthma) died from covid. My dad died from covid last year, so I’m also overly cautious and very protective. I get it. HOWEVER, the way she treated her sister just seemed weird. Rubbed me the wrong way, too. Not sure if it’s the edit, but damn she was really cold towards her. Minty didn’t have to make her displeasure so obvious. I would’ve felt like shit if I were her sister. Not sure about the other episodes, but I agree that this is the challenge where Brigiding deserves to be safe. For me, it’s between Minty, PPN, Marina, or Eva (altho it would for sure hurt to see any of those three in the bottom). I sobbed with PPN, too…Not sure about the final outfit, though. Xil killed this challenge that I can’t even pick a top 2. Brigs is a superstar even outside the show, that she’ll thrive for sure even without the crown. 💕
I agree with your comments 100% ms Valery! I do understand Minty's worries, but at the same time, there are better ways to handle the situation as it is, and leaving her sister that way was not it. Even Minty tweeted that this was the episode she's the most anxious about watching, perhaps worrying how she'll be perceived. So I think there's some truth to what you said about how we treat our family as a good indicator of who we are as a person. It was also sad that this was the episode that I liked Brigiding the most. She seems to be more 'herself' with her cousin, if that makes sense. Unfortunately, seeing the rest of the queens in the lineup and her track record, it was her time. Enjoying your insights as always miss Valery! You look stun! ❤️
We share the same sentiments about this episode! I knew it was Brigiding’s time to go but I want to see this queen perform if it’s going to be her last. There were moments that they would show Brigiding about to extend her arms but the video was cut in such a way that we can’t even see the pose. I know it’s typical that the queen who will Shantay will be showcased more but with this one it’s so hard to compare because we don’t have enough footage of Brigiding.
the name callings and all that is actually a way people in the philippines show affection. You aren't the best of friends if you hadn't dragged each other to FILTH. Sometimes the insult turns into a literal term of endearment once used enough. But of course, there are line we'll never cross. Especially if we know the person well enough
Minty was pissed off by the producers... and Minty can't tell it on cam. Xilo's theory was incorrect... Xilo is only telling that (Minty's worried about the size of her sister) IMO because Xilo got a good canvas (her partner, Gel/ Xhadow)... But it's not really Minty's point... Minty lost a loved one due to Covid... And her sister is asthmatic.
The judging of the Makeover's Episodes is always kinda off and messy, but this episode went beyond. They were praising some queens for giving their partners the spotlight, while also critiquing others for doing the same. And the "family resemblance" aspect is also not consistent. Are they supposed to look exactly the same or just like they both belong in the same drag family? Just because you're from the same (drag) family, It doesn't mean you all look alike. But Patrick was a great judge, Mama Pao was The Shadiest this episode and the lipsync was also really good, and the family bonding moments were really authentic, so, again, It's the judging that was kinda off, but I don't know who to blame because this challenge is usually chaotic 🤷🏾♂️.
Another great review! For the song, it is called ‘Dyosa’ which is ‘Goddess’ in english. The lyrics paints a story of transformation - from an ‘ugly duckling’ to a goddess.
Brigs won that lipsync to me. Even though u can tell minty got the majority of that camera time. It was a heartfelt episode I really felt for Mintys sister. You can even see it in the dress she made for her and her sister. Love your content Val can’t wait for that house of the dragon ep. 6 review!
You're reactions are really similar to mine, and you're my favorite. Please keep on giving more reaction video. So honest, smart and appreciative. We will keep on supporting and watching your videos. Thank you
With regards to Brigiding joking/teasing her cousin, I think that we Filipinos still have a long way to go as our relatives or family tend to tell these "jokes" which comes across as just insult/insulting to us but calling them out would make us look disrespectful especially towards the elderly, hence, as I experienced this as well, I just try to laugh with them or shrug it off just to not be painted as a "villain" of the family and not cause further drama. But enough with that, keep slaying the game and I really enjoy and patiently wait for your reaction videos. Sending you lots of love Ms Valery❤
I totally agreed. When I first watched the episode, I thought there's something wrong in regards to the lipsync edit. We can't barely see Brigiding's performance. Nonetheless, still rooting for her, she's amazing!! Always been a fan of your reactions! Way to go my love! 🤍🤍
Precious stole my heart this episode. Precious for the win!!! My top picks are Vinas, Minty and Precious... but this episode exposed a certain side of Minty that comes across cold and cynical. Yes the pandemic was rife but I feel like Minty prepared a garment for this challenge before she arrived and it didnt match with the sister, he had someone else in mind. It was more than just a health issue. The way he treated his sis was just cold.
I really love watching your reaction on DRPH and I totally agree with your POV on Minty’s behavior.. The irony of her (Minty) calling Brigiding insensitive towards personal issue she didn’t want to share way back on previous untucked episode basically has thrown back at her because of how she treated her sister this episode..
Minty's reaction also rubbed me the wrong way. i'm sure she had her reasons but she must know that her reaction will be recorded and edited. it was also awkward to watch for her cause her sister looked a bit lost when minty stepped out. The other queens though are superb and seeing them interact was so heartwarming to see. Shoutout to the sound team though...it was hard to hear a lot this episode again lol. Keep up the great work. (also we see who they really wanted to win in that lipsync)
Everything you said here just resonates with a lot of our reactions here in the PH. That lipsync edit was just dirty and the one time that Brigiding really did great is the time she's sent home? Make it make sense. Brigiding is the brand. 'Nuff said.
I totally agree with you about how bad Minty treated her sister... Come on girl. She's there already.. The reasons were valid but not for treating the situation like that
I get why Minty is reacting that way. If this was shot during the height of the pandemic in the Philippines, I would be paranoid too. Bec if you got covid it doesn't matter if you're old or almost dying the hospitals are not going to take you in because its the protocol. And most hospitals that have the covid patients are full. It doesn't matter even the rich who can afford amedical bills weren't treated.
I got why she was totally upset . Yes be very angry but she still should not have treated her sister that way. She looked very uncomfortable and said it as well.
lemme share some thoughts on this Minty Fresh behavior in this episode -- she's my top favorite from the beginning (although I am more now for Silhouette & Precious Paula Nicole) & I think her natural beautiful looks can be more of an additional baggage for her losing out eventually. "Pretty" (or beautiful) won't make you the top winner as shown in other RuPaul's contests everywhere. Minty Fresh apparently wasn't prepared that a family member would actually show up to support her in this contest. She seems to be more ready if someone among her friends would show up instead of a family member, I guess. I can imagine someone in production got a way, by learning more about the contestants' lives, to figure out what could bring Minty Fresh down, although this was probably not intentional. She was being real by revealing that she probably thinks & behaves most of her family members (her natural family) have been in the way of her becoming declared the top winner in a major, international drag contest. She seems so able to live her life mostly by herself, & aided much by her natural beautiful looks (which in the Philippines, like in most places), which have opened many doors to her (something not available to the rest of the candidates, or even among most of the judges, with exception to Paolo). She didn't have ideas it would be happening & face her in this contest where you are really more than your wonderful, beautiful facade that has worked well for you on so many occasions before. But I can see she tried her best to process the experience & make the most of it. I think they will keep her in the contest until it becomes obvious to so many among us viewers (particularly those in the Philippines who are so used to accepting this notion on beautiful looks as their preferred tool to get their advantage over others in many areas in life) that being beautiful has to show something deeper underneath the beauty, and be more felt & real than what are obvious and seen on the surface. Drag is really so real & calls for more work and abilities, despite all the on-the-surface beauty we seem to attach to it. We all saw such unfold in this episode. Minty Fresh may have to realize her beautiful looks won't serve her well up to the last episode of this particular contest. But who knows? The production may have other things in mind. LOL! Thank you & I have enjoyed your videos from here in NYC USA, & I am originally from the Philippines.
omg! this is so sad.😔, I'm a fan since day 1 brigiding shouldn't be eliminated supposedly that challenge is not about the queens themselves its really about the one your trying to transform which obviously looked great and made sure that tigiding will shine i don't see any problem with that. the judges are playing favorites... this is really sad i mean really she has the talent and in the end it shows that she really just wanted to gave her that moment to feel it because tigiding said its her dream too, yes you're right about the editing if you watch it that way itll really show its minty who did better i just dont think they are being fair with brigiding.
I agree the worry of Minty because Covid is very rampant here in the Philippines and during the shooting, we have the Delta variant scare which can kill you in a matter of days. But it does not justify her reaction towards her sister. She should be more thankful rather than reacting like that.
Minty's attitude and treatment towards her sis rubbed me so wrong. In Untucked as well as episode, she seemed so cold to her. If it was out of concern for her health, you would think she would show at least a bit of warmth towards her.
Eva Le Queen did the best read. Each of her jokes worked out well. The jokes wouldn't be as funny as they are to international viewers. 1. the horse joke to marina summers. they have a whole inside joke about that. the joke connected well to the receiver 2. The enteng kabisote joke to minty fresh is so funny. They laughed because of the similarities of their facial features. enteng kabisote is an iconic and popular fictional character played by Vic Sotto. Vic Sotto is a big name in the entertainment industry of the Philippines. and Vic Sotto wouldn't always come across as a "handsome person". so, the target audience of this joke is really for local Filipino viewers. 3. the jokes for Xilhouette had funny lines with elements of Filipino humor. International audiences would really go for Minty Fresh. because her jokes translate mostly to more people from diverse backgrounds
@@Valeryvision Oh no, THANK YOU for uploading it. You are one of the few reviews I'm avidly watching because you give authentic and not sugar-coated reactions. More power!
I swear, this episode was so shady on the producers' part. I hate that, brigs deserve to stay, even on lipsync alone, she may not have a lot of screentime but I'm seeing her at the back PERFORMING! sorry Minty just pull out a sash and the flag but it doesn't mean she worked that stage, sorry, brigs won the lipsync for me. they did Brigs dirty
ngl it annoys me how they give more airtime to the winner's lipsync over the losing one... like we still wanna watch both performances regardless who wins or loses
Minty’s presence soured the whole episode for me as a plus size watcher. She completely used the pandemic as a crutch to lean on as to how she reacted and we all know the tea. Imagine this reaction with family, let alone how she’d see a fan who is similar. And it does say a lot about her character
I think the producers did Minty dirty like I totally get why she acted the way she did cause ANXIETY makes you react to things like that, (could she have handled it better, probably but she did what she can) and IF the producers knew about Minty's friend as well as her sister's condition that was just SHITTY. Having COVID in the Philippines is different it's not like you could just go to a hospital, no you have to FIND a hospital or care center that has space, even then your chances are slim to none specially if you have a pre-existing condition. So it wouldn't be fair to just say 'oh she's cold' because she's mean heck they might not even be that close anyway. The fact is that it's presumptuous to say that she could've handled it better because we aren't sure that she CAN, if that makes sense. She should've, doesn't mean she could've. Also honestly love PPN but she should've been in the bottom with Minty just on the visuals and presentation cause Brigiding at least had more of a story and polished look. It's just that I too feel too much for PPN and her bro so I get why the producers chose Brigiding instead of PPN or Marina (which both had wins already). Sad that Brigiding went home just when she got more open but I think it's for the best since I've always felt that she just wants to please people rather than showing more of herself. The edit of the lipsync was sus but I get why Minty won cause she owned the song more and Brigiding went to her default of pulling stunts that isn't as amazing cause I'm used to it already at this point.
Subscribed Val you're awesome we have the same exact reactions all the time LOL yeah I think Minty's "health concern" is sus. The Covid thing is sus because the staff WILL make sure she is negative and everyone there is literally negative and protected AF. It's probably because she doesn't have clothes for her and she can't make her look good. I feel bad for her sister. Same, I didn't like Minty after this. Rubbed me the wrong way.
Should have been Precious and Brigiding in bottom 2. But since Precious has been consistently good the last eps, so it's just Minty and Brigiding again. I don't think there was anyone extremely bad this ep, they just based it on their overall work. Brigiding will always be the better lipsyncer, but Minty atleast won stuff.
I honestly think Brigiding was not judged fairly this season and the girls are coming after her “brand” trying to tear her confidence down knowing she already proved so much and is already well known in the drag community. Xhillouete is a competition at this point but I don’t know, she’s good but she rubs me off differently(kinda toxic, narcissist vibe, maybe it’s just me lol). After this episode, I just want Precious to win this season, so my girl better werk! LOL PS I agree and I would say that’s the worse reading I’ve seen in drag race herstory🤣
Minty was only worried about her sister’s physique and modeling skills, sorry! It felt so rude and I was almost uncomfortable the whole time she would get that camera time, and her sister was SO cute!
About Minty, her sister has asthma. She lost a friend with asthma to COVID so that's why she's very anxious. I don't agree with the way she treated her sis tho. She's already there. Buckle up and treat her well.
Minty looks so disappointed when her sister stepped on that room.. and then she becomes cold and nonchalant when she approached her sister.. it makes the whole room uncomfortable
i agree, min was a bit disrespectful especially now that his sister is like already there. I understand the health concern but imagine how that made his sister feel not a single ounce of happiness was seen.
18:21 Not the winner of the lipsync going home. 😭 JK. Btw, the way Brigiding treats her cousin is just a normal day for most Filipino families, that's just how it goes here though at times it can really cause some conflict but most of the times people will just be fine about it the following day.
What I Like Most About This Show Is That There's Flaw's In This Franchise BC Their Not Supposed To Come Out The Gate As Perfect, Nothing Is Perfect Especially With The Very First Season People Expect So Much & Want High Expectations For Drag Race Philippines Just Plz Enjoy It. COVID IS REAL PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY & MINTY TOOK IT SERIOUSLY & PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU LOSE SOMEONE FROM COVID LIFE IS WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAN WINNING THE FREAKING 👑
I haven't been that much of a Minty Fresh fan anyway, mostly because of how badly she treats Brigiding every episode. Unfortunately, the Production decided to dump on Brigiding this week as well - it was clear that she was going home regardless of how she did in the challenge or the lip sync.
minty's attitude made no sense to me - my family did some dumb things during the pandemic and they are high risk. so I was angry and even livid that they put themselves at risk but I did not get this anger or concern that her sister had jeoprdised her health from Minty. I just got embarrasemnt from Minty that her sister was not suitable for the challenge. When in fact she was really cute and could have looked much better as Minty barely worked on her . Minty gave up on her. I think Minty is a perfectionist with herself and appearence and wanted the same with her partner. She might be a good brother outssidethe show but ther is shallowness to her as well
I don't like that episode at all ! It's nice to see all the stories about the family... But where was the critiques ? Why anyone said PPN make over was not good ? Why Brigiding was in the bottom ? Glad that my queen to win, Xilhouette, won that tho (Xhadow is so gorgeous wtf ) ❤
Totally agree with you about the mini-challenge. I hate to say this as a Filipino, but this was the most boring reading challenge I have ever watched. The timing was off, the delivery was long, and the joke were not funny at all. It was a let-down knowing that the gay community in the Philippines is known for "okrayan" or reading.
Min had a friend who have an asthma who died because of covid. Her sister also have an asthma (COMORBIDITY). People will not understand the anxiety it cause to a person with that. And this is shoot last year when Philippines have so many cases. Like Minty said after that her sister will go home to her parents who are SENIOR CITIZENS. You're like Xil who jumped into conclusions and invalidated Minty's anxiety with covid after losing someone dear to her. Now it's time to unsubscribe. Don't like a person who invalidate other peoples demons and anxieties. Bye gurl.
I feel like there’s more to the story than just minty fresh being concern about her sisters health. In Filipino cultures and values being gay for some is a grave sin because of the fact that Filipinos are 99.9 percent catholic in most cases. We get beat up, humiliated, get kicked out, etc growing up or even up to this day behind close doors. We don’t know the true story of minty but one things for sure. She is in disconnect with her family and probably cut family ties over all and this was a big surprise for her for her sister to show up. Cuz you’ll never get that attitude just because of a measly excuse. Anything is possible but I don’t buy her excuse for this one. I think it’s more about family drama than anything else tbh.
Are you for real? She may not have the emotional connection we except from her with her sister but she experienced a death of a friend because of covid. The filming of drph was during a pandemic. Her fear of the risk is valid. But yeah, the edit was unfair.
I felt like that contestants were judged based on their backstories instead of their skills and performance. The show was selling intrigues rather than talents. I need to emphasize that this was a drag show and not a sob drama story. Enough of the crying, it ruined the excitement. It was supposed to be fashionable, fun and grand.

Yes the pandemic was rife but I feel like Minty prepared a garment for this challenge before she arrived and it didnt match with the sister, he had someone else in mind. It was more than just a health issue. The way he treated his sis was just cold.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
ye but PPN should be in the bottom 2 with minty://
I really love watching your reaction on DRPH and I totally agree with your POV on Minty’s behavior.. The irony of her (Minty) calling Brigiding insensitive towards personal issue she didn’t want to share way back on previous untucked episode basically has thrown back at her because of how she treated her sister this episode..
Minty's reaction also rubbed me the wrong way. i'm sure she had her reasons but she must know that her reaction will be recorded and edited. it was also awkward to watch for her cause her sister looked a bit lost when minty stepped out. The other queens though are superb and seeing them interact was so heartwarming to see. Shoutout to the sound team though...it was hard to hear a lot this episode again lol. Keep up the great work. (also we see who they really wanted to win in that lipsync)
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Everything you said here just resonates with a lot of our reactions here in the PH. That lipsync edit was just dirty and the one time that Brigiding really did great is the time she's sent home? Make it make sense. Brigiding is the brand. 'Nuff said.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I totally agree with you about how bad Minty treated her sister... Come on girl. She's there already.. The reasons were valid but not for treating the situation like that
I get why Minty is reacting that way. If this was shot during the height of the pandemic in the Philippines, I would be paranoid too. Bec if you got covid it doesn't matter if you're old or almost dying the hospitals are not going to take you in because its the protocol. And most hospitals that have the covid patients are full. It doesn't matter even the rich who can afford amedical bills weren't treated.
I got why she was totally upset . Yes be very angry but she still should not have treated her sister that way. She looked very uncomfortable and said it as well.
So true made me love Minty a little less too. I felt so bad for the sister.
Valery, stop the crying gig 😭🥺
I'm still cryinggg😭😭😭😭🤣
lemme share some thoughts on this Minty Fresh behavior in this episode -- she's my top favorite from the beginning (although I am more now for Silhouette & Precious Paula Nicole) & I think her natural beautiful looks can be more of an additional baggage for her losing out eventually. "Pretty" (or beautiful) won't make you the top winner as shown in other RuPaul's contests everywhere. Minty Fresh apparently wasn't prepared that a family member would actually show up to support her in this contest. She seems to be more ready if someone among her friends would show up instead of a family member, I guess. I can imagine someone in production got a way, by learning more about the contestants' lives, to figure out what could bring Minty Fresh down, although this was probably not intentional.
She was being real by revealing that she probably thinks & behaves most of her family members (her natural family) have been in the way of her becoming declared the top winner in a major, international drag contest. She seems so able to live her life mostly by herself, & aided much by her natural beautiful looks (which in the Philippines, like in most places), which have opened many doors to her (something not available to the rest of the candidates, or even among most of the judges, with exception to Paolo). She didn't have ideas it would be happening & face her in this contest where you are really more than your wonderful, beautiful facade that has worked well for you on so many occasions before.
But I can see she tried her best to process the experience & make the most of it. I think they will keep her in the contest until it becomes obvious to so many among us viewers (particularly those in the Philippines who are so used to accepting this notion on beautiful looks as their preferred tool to get their advantage over others in many areas in life) that being beautiful has to show something deeper underneath the beauty, and be more felt & real than what are obvious and seen on the surface. Drag is really so real & calls for more work and abilities, despite all the on-the-surface beauty we seem to attach to it. We all saw such unfold in this episode. Minty Fresh may have to realize her beautiful looks won't serve her well up to the last episode of this particular contest. But who knows? The production may have other things in mind. LOL!
Thank you & I have enjoyed your videos from here in NYC USA, & I am originally from the Philippines.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
omg! this is so sad.😔, I'm a fan since day 1 brigiding shouldn't be eliminated supposedly that challenge is not about the queens themselves its really about the one your trying to transform which obviously looked great and made sure that tigiding will shine i don't see any problem with that. the judges are playing favorites... this is really sad i mean really she has the talent and in the end it shows that she really just wanted to gave her that moment to feel it because tigiding said its her dream too, yes you're right about the editing if you watch it that way itll really show its minty who did better i just dont think they are being fair with brigiding.
Same. Precious and her brother made me cry too 😔
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Minty Fresh even expected to be in the Bottom two because she knows she'll never be able to pull this one off with her sister.
I agree the worry of Minty because Covid is very rampant here in the Philippines and during the shooting, we have the Delta variant scare which can kill you in a matter of days. But it does not justify her reaction towards her sister. She should be more thankful rather than reacting like that.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Super agree with everything! I love your reviews. Very fair and smart!👍
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Minty's attitude and treatment towards her sis rubbed me so wrong. In Untucked as well as episode, she seemed so cold to her. If it was out of concern for her health, you would think she would show at least a bit of warmth towards her.
Eva Le Queen did the best read. Each of her jokes worked out well. The jokes wouldn't be as funny as they are to international viewers.
1. the horse joke to marina summers. they have a whole inside joke about that. the joke connected well to the receiver
2. The enteng kabisote joke to minty fresh is so funny. They laughed because of the similarities of their facial features. enteng kabisote is an iconic and popular fictional character played by Vic Sotto. Vic Sotto is a big name in the entertainment industry of the Philippines. and Vic Sotto wouldn't always come across as a "handsome person". so, the target audience of this joke is really for local Filipino viewers.
3. the jokes for Xilhouette had funny lines with elements of Filipino humor.
International audiences would really go for Minty Fresh. because her jokes translate mostly to more people from diverse backgrounds
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nice words for Brigiding... We're the same... I hate BRANDING!!!! Versatility should be seen to the performers.
❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘
I've been waiting for this reaction❤
Yeah sorry about that .. youtube was giving me some issues uploading
@@Valeryvision Oh no, THANK YOU for uploading it. You are one of the few reviews I'm avidly watching because you give authentic and not sugar-coated reactions. More power!
I swear, this episode was so shady on the producers' part. I hate that, brigs deserve to stay, even on lipsync alone, she may not have a lot of screentime but I'm seeing her at the back PERFORMING! sorry Minty just pull out a sash and the flag but it doesn't mean she worked that stage, sorry, brigs won the lipsync for me. they did Brigs dirty
ngl it annoys me how they give more airtime to the winner's lipsync over the losing one... like we still wanna watch both performances regardless who wins or loses
I'm glad I'm not the only one that clapped at the screen for Xil
Minty’s presence soured the whole episode for me as a plus size watcher. She completely used the pandemic as a crutch to lean on as to how she reacted and we all know the tea. Imagine this reaction with family, let alone how she’d see a fan who is similar. And it does say a lot about her character
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I also agree with putting marina and minty at the bottom..
I think the producers did Minty dirty like I totally get why she acted the way she did cause ANXIETY makes you react to things like that, (could she have handled it better, probably but she did what she can) and IF the producers knew about Minty's friend as well as her sister's condition that was just SHITTY. Having COVID in the Philippines is different it's not like you could just go to a hospital, no you have to FIND a hospital or care center that has space, even then your chances are slim to none specially if you have a pre-existing condition. So it wouldn't be fair to just say 'oh she's cold' because she's mean heck they might not even be that close anyway. The fact is that it's presumptuous to say that she could've handled it better because we aren't sure that she CAN, if that makes sense. She should've, doesn't mean she could've.
Also honestly love PPN but she should've been in the bottom with Minty just on the visuals and presentation cause Brigiding at least had more of a story and polished look. It's just that I too feel too much for PPN and her bro so I get why the producers chose Brigiding instead of PPN or Marina (which both had wins already).
Sad that Brigiding went home just when she got more open but I think it's for the best since I've always felt that she just wants to please people rather than showing more of herself.
The edit of the lipsync was sus but I get why Minty won cause she owned the song more and Brigiding went to her default of pulling stunts that isn't as amazing cause I'm used to it already at this point.
❤️
Girl, I'm addicted to you, your make up is on point (always) and you are pleasing to watch. Keep it up mwahh
❤️❤️❤️😘😘
Subscribed Val you're awesome we have the same exact reactions all the time LOL yeah I think Minty's "health concern" is sus. The Covid thing is sus because the staff WILL make sure she is negative and everyone there is literally negative and protected AF.
It's probably because she doesn't have clothes for her and she can't make her look good. I feel bad for her sister. Same, I didn't like Minty after this. Rubbed me the wrong way.
Should have been Precious and Brigiding in bottom 2. But since Precious has been consistently good the last eps, so it's just Minty and Brigiding again. I don't think there was anyone extremely bad this ep, they just based it on their overall work. Brigiding will always be the better lipsyncer, but Minty atleast won stuff.
❤️
DONT CRY MS. V!! I'M WORKING HERE WHILE WATCHING YOUR REACTION VIDEO!
😭😭😭
hahahahahah! I dont want 😭 😂🤣😂
😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I honestly think Brigiding was not judged fairly this season and the girls are coming after her “brand” trying to tear her confidence down knowing she already proved so much and is already well known in the drag community. Xhillouete is a competition at this point but I don’t know, she’s good but she rubs me off differently(kinda toxic, narcissist vibe, maybe it’s just me lol). After this episode, I just want Precious to win this season, so my girl better werk! LOL
PS I agree and I would say that’s the worse reading I’ve seen in drag race herstory🤣
Didn’t even bother commenting about Minty cause, meh. So disappointed
🤣🤣🤣
Damn. And you just learned how to say her name, too! 😔 Brigading Ding Ding will be missed💔 Minty gets a
How disappointing.
Minty was only worried about her sister’s physique and modeling skills, sorry! It felt so rude and I was almost uncomfortable the whole time she would get that camera time, and her sister was SO cute!
But i’m gonna be honest, that made me not really feel minty as much either. She’s still c*nt, but girlll she really proved that this episode
🤍🤍🤍
About Minty, her sister has asthma. She lost a friend with asthma to COVID so that's why she's very anxious. I don't agree with the way she treated her sis tho. She's already there. Buckle up and treat her well.
Yesss my thoughts exactly💯
Love this reaction... My favorite so far... So insightful
Minty looks so disappointed when her sister stepped on that room.. and then she becomes cold and nonchalant when she approached her sister.. it makes the whole room uncomfortable
❤️❤️
Precious making me cry all season. I can't
Glad u noticed that they gave a lot of airtime to Minty!
i agree, min was a bit disrespectful especially now that his sister is like already there. I understand the health concern but imagine how that made his sister feel not a single ounce of happiness was seen.
❤️❤️
"Continue the fight and stop being a fvcking b!tch" I live.
I really agree. I'm also rooting for Minty wining the competition, really strong contender, but it all changed with this single episode.
18:21 Not the winner of the lipsync going home. 😭 JK. Btw, the way Brigiding treats her cousin is just a normal day for most Filipino families, that's just how it goes here though at times it can really cause some conflict but most of the times people will just be fine about it the following day.
Oh ok .. I was gagging low key🤣🤣🤣
What I Like Most About This Show Is That There's Flaw's In This Franchise BC Their Not Supposed To Come Out The Gate As Perfect, Nothing Is Perfect Especially With The Very First Season People Expect So Much & Want High Expectations For Drag Race Philippines Just Plz Enjoy It. COVID IS REAL PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY & MINTY TOOK IT SERIOUSLY & PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU LOSE SOMEONE FROM COVID LIFE IS WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAN WINNING THE FREAKING 👑
So that's a excuse to treat and talk to her sister like trash??
I'm bstill mad how they never show much of brigiding in this battle just to justifies the judges vote for her to be eliminated ,
❤️❤️
I wish they didn’t open the library… no one could read 😂
I agree. They focus on Airtime of Minty Fresh during the lip Sync 😪 Editing is so unfair.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can't really see Brigiding's lipsync. Totally agree editing was so unfair!
Thank you so much ...
❤️❤️❤️
Girl Minty Fresh has been negative since ep 1. She should change her name to Salty Fresh 😅
I cant imagine how her sister felt. Like thats too awkward!
Same exact feelings with Minty Fresh's cold treatment with her sister. That's rude and awkward at the same time.
I like your review ..I am a fan of you..more power❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘
I haven't been that much of a Minty Fresh fan anyway, mostly because of how badly she treats Brigiding every episode. Unfortunately, the Production decided to dump on Brigiding this week as well - it was clear that she was going home regardless of how she did in the challenge or the lip sync.
Xhadow and tigiding for season 2
The reading challenge is soooo bad. Hahaha.
❤️❤️❤️
minty's attitude made no sense to me - my family did some dumb things during the pandemic and they are high risk. so I was angry and even livid that they put themselves at risk but I did not get this anger or concern that her sister had jeoprdised her health from Minty. I just got embarrasemnt from Minty that her sister was not suitable for the challenge. When in fact she was really cute and could have looked much better as Minty barely worked on her . Minty gave up on her. I think Minty is a perfectionist with herself and appearence and wanted the same with her partner. She might be a good brother outssidethe show but ther is shallowness to her as well
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Omg same. Marina all the way ❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I don't like that episode at all ! It's nice to see all the stories about the family... But where was the critiques ? Why anyone said PPN make over was not good ? Why Brigiding was in the bottom ?
Glad that my queen to win, Xilhouette, won that tho (Xhadow is so gorgeous wtf ) ❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Really don't understand why Marina was put in the bottom for this. ANyway, nowhere to go but up on the top.
❤️❤️
Minty Fresh.. your name evokes happiness, joyfulness, freshness....
SO WHY THE LONG FACE?
❤️❤️❤️
HAHAHAHAHAH YOUR HAIR IS KIND OF THE SAME AS XILHOUETE'S ON EP 7
🤣🤣🤣
That reading challenge was not it.
Also, Miss Xhadow ATEEEE.
❤️❤️❤️
i love your reviews!
thank you babe❤️❤️❤️❤️
😁
Totally agree with you about the mini-challenge. I hate to say this as a Filipino, but this was the most boring reading challenge I have ever watched. The timing was off, the delivery was long, and the joke were not funny at all. It was a let-down knowing that the gay community in the Philippines is known for "okrayan" or reading.
Minty is just ashamed of her sister. thats all!
no, babes. it's all about her health!!!
Brigiding won that Lipsync...
👀👀❤️
Min had a friend who have an asthma who died because of covid. Her sister also have an asthma (COMORBIDITY). People will not understand the anxiety it cause to a person with that. And this is shoot last year when Philippines have so many cases. Like Minty said after that her sister will go home to her parents who are SENIOR CITIZENS. You're like Xil who jumped into conclusions and invalidated Minty's anxiety with covid after losing someone dear to her. Now it's time to unsubscribe. Don't like a person who invalidate other peoples demons and anxieties. Bye gurl.
She would've atleast show some love for her if she's THAT much concerned even in the untucked there's no warmth.
I Like MiNTY Fresh not until I watched this episode
I feel like there’s more to the story than just minty fresh being concern about her sisters health. In Filipino cultures and values being gay for some is a grave sin because of the fact that Filipinos are 99.9 percent catholic in most cases. We get beat up, humiliated, get kicked out, etc growing up or even up to this day behind close doors. We don’t know the true story of minty but one things for sure. She is in disconnect with her family and probably cut family ties over all and this was a big surprise for her for her sister to show up. Cuz you’ll never get that attitude just because of a measly excuse. Anything is possible but I don’t buy her excuse for this one. I think it’s more about family drama than anything else tbh.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Miss mint .. what is going on girl her lil sister was trying her best
Flop yung reading challenge kasi emotional na silA niyan and pagod na
React to La Más Draga 5 you see on youtube
Maybe minty and her sister were not in good terms
Still doesn't allow her to talk and treat her like that
@@Valeryvision true, very uncomfortable to watch, i feel sorry for her sister 🥹
Are you for real? She may not have the emotional connection we except from her with her sister but she experienced a death of a friend because of covid. The filming of drph was during a pandemic. Her fear of the risk is valid. But yeah, the edit was unfair.
Yeah what was painful to watch. Waley.
❤️❤️
I felt like that contestants were judged based on their backstories instead of their skills and performance. The show was selling intrigues rather than talents. I need to emphasize that this was a drag show and not a sob drama story. Enough of the crying, it ruined the excitement. It was supposed to be fashionable, fun and grand.
❤️❤️❤️
