I started watching Season 1 last week and I could not stop. I love drag queens!

Anyway, it is season 3 and I have a feeling that at least two of the contestants are Filipinos. These are

Raja


Manila Luzon

Just saw this. I actually love this show. The campiness is unbelievable.

Manila Luzon is half-Filipino. But Raja is, I think, Thai. He's actually relatively well-known. He's Sutan, the makeup artist featured in majority of the seasons in America's Next Top Model.

Is Mariah another Filipino?

Wow! Really? I watch ANTM whenever I can catch it so I'm familiar with him. Totally unrecognizable.

Jessica Soho in a segment on drag queens in her show mentioned Manila Luzon as being of Filipino descent.

Manila Luzon's mother is Filipino and his Dad's American.

Have you seen any episodes of Drag Race pre? It's really a fun show. Absolutely hilarious!

[allanmandy]

No I haven't. I actually just learned about this show when Jessica Soho mentioned it last Saturday. I wonder if a local cable channel would be bold enough to air it. Or maybe I should just download it. I'm intrigued.

I don't think any channel will touch this show. It's just so in-your-face gay that priests and the so-called moral society will have conniptions. I highly recommend it though, it's one of the most entertaining reality shows ever. The commentary of the judges alone when each contestant comes out is worth watching, and it's just a small part of the show.

make sure you get the untucked episodes as well. it is a must!!!

  Wow, intriguing and fun this show must be especially when reviews came from indie boi himself hehehe..One must have the most open mind when watching shows of this nature which I think will never land on local television. Really sad...I'd better ask my niece to download this fast hehe..Wala akong tiyaga to do this hehe..

blitzkreig---better start with season one. The queens there are the most memorable so far, especially a fellow baklita Ongina

You mean this show's been here like forever already? Gawd! Baka nandun na ito in that "unmentionable" place hehe..

I chanced upon the show when Reality Blurred mentioned it. Tried the first episode of the first season and got hooked. My wifey and I absolutely love the show because it's so goddamn funny. You're right, it really takes an open mind to watch and appreciate the show.

The first season only had like 8 contestants, I think. The producers obviously didn't know if their formula will work. But it actually did! For those who haven't seen it yet, or tried it, it's a mix of Project Runway and America's Next Top Model only with drag queens.

Wild card next week! I hope it is a Heather.

[dorian_gray]

The blonde athlete is hot!

[dorian_gray]

I guess I am good in predicting.

Raja is the next drag superstar and the runner up is...

Manila Luzon!
