You know what Miss Val, half of this episode i don't like. It's all a PR and Redemption episode for Rajo. For calling the queen a trash and the backslash he gets because of that. I love Myx Channel and she is deserving of that win but for me it's all stunts. Myx is the daughter of Eva le Queen and part of the house of Playhouse with OV that is also called trash by one of the guest judges. I think they intend this episode to be wholesome by not sending any of the queens because of that reason. I think Rajo has a major investment in this show that they made an episode for him, that's how desperate they are 😅
That sari sari look was awesome. Might have been last minute, but when you have a good idea or concept and well executed, even if short on time, you can get something great. The trashion look though? Nope. However, being safe allowed you to share some personal moments in Untucked. I feel for you having to have gone through such a traumatic experience that nobody should. I can only imagine. However, I have to applaud you for being courageous and bring this very difficult topic to light and share with your fellow queens and us, the viewers. As much as it can be a very triggering subject, it’s important to bring this to light as too many people are victims of such situations…and it affects someone’s life forever… I hope you’re doing well, and that you’ve been able to process this trauma; well, I feel this is something that most people have to work through most of their lives, so it’s most likely a never-ending process. That being said, don’t let this define you. Wishing you well, now and in the future and sending you a blanket of 💟. 🫶
Hello a fellow Filipino here, I think what Maxie did was a typical Filipino mindset of “Family is stronger than anything” so I think that was the main reason she said that she would rather go home and let Angel stay. Love you so much Val! ❤🥰
I know we need the queens to go one by one for the competition sake, but saving Angel honestly just felt correct- i know after as9 we are sick of staying but this just felt correct- shows heart and respect and honour for the contestants and at the end of the day there is always an epi quota so we may get a cute little double elim in the future
Honestly, with how rooted family values are in Philippine culture, it's really no surprise and not so alien here for Maxie and Angel to respond that way if it's for the sake of pushing the other forward and that they'll keep on rooting on each other no matter what, even more with Maxie's inner big brother wanting nothing but the best for his little sister, and for her not to be left behind while he keeps on thriving. It's just quite common practice here to the point that it just feels right for them both to have that as an answer, especially if it's the PH franchise we're talking about. I do agree though that if we're at a point in the show where either they're both at the bottom two or lipsync for the win or even for the crown, they should battle at their fullest capacity out of respect for each other's desire to genuinely prove themselves and showcase their potential ❣️❣️❣️
i think ep1 was already originally planned to be non-elim even without the 12th queen backing out, and for this episode, because the 12th queen did backout, maybe they did a double shantay this early in the season to even it out. but in my opinion, i think the producers saved angel because they want to push the story line of her and maxie
I agree that it was judged based on emotion. But I think this competition needs to be taken in the context of Filipino culture. We are an emotional bunch, and we love things that pull our heartstrings. Each episode closes with Mama Pao saying, “Puso, puso, at puso pa rin,” which means “love, love, and love always,” and that’s why this franchise is so special. Love your content 😍
I think this is what makes Drag Race Philippines different from other franchises. Emotion and family really is a big factor ever since the first season. I can recall Marina and Xilo's lipsync, Katkat and Bernie's, Matilduh and Jade's, and now Angel and Tita Baby's, among others, especially when the winner can go either way, storyline and emotions really affect the decisions. Filipinos have this emotional bias in my opinion and it shows in almost every reality program and talent competitions.
In a Filipino perspective, I can see why Maxie chose herself as the queen to go home because in a typical Filipino family setting, elder siblings would rather lose their shot just to have their younger siblings get the opportunity. Maybe, she thought she would not want to add to Angel's frustrations and self-doubt by, in a way, "betraying" her.
the song is Nosi Balasi by sampaguita, very popular rock song in PH 1989. it is actually a reverse to "sino ba sila" means literally Who are they. song sends a message to give a middle finger to what everyone is saying, who are they anyway, you do you and I'll mine.. heheheheh!
This song really reminded me of the glam rock of the 80s. I guess being from ‘89 makes total sense. Of course, I had no idea what it was about, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Well, that being said, I would listen to this type of music in the mid to late 80s, and as a native French speaker with very little knowledge of English, I had no idea what most of my fav songs were about anyway. 😄
One thing you gotta know about us Asians miss val is we are just THAT family oriented. It's just in our blood and we can never change that no matter how hard we try. So I completely understand them.
in terms of the maxie and angel's situation during critiques it has got a lot to do with cultural context. One of the number one values that filipino put close to their heart is family and sometimes that means making sacrifices in order to provide and make your family happy. Adding to that Maxie is the eldest child and as an eldest child myself growing up our parents has always instilled in us that we have to take care of our younger siblings we bare the most responsibility and to be that role model for them because at the end of the day when our parents are gone we are the one that takes their place. that's just some cultural context as to that situation
This episode was such a rollercoaster of emotions. I laughed out loud, I cried, I was amazed, I was gagged, I had fun. The best episode of season 3 so far-and it's only the second episode! Also a total 180 from episode 1, this episode is just wholesome. This season is really gearing up to be the best drph season yet because holy shit, this cast is supreme. Their dynamics are off the roof. I am a Tita Baby stan and an Angel simp so seeing them both in the bottom was super hard. I literally went through several cycles of my life watching the last 15 mins of the episode. I was not mad at all about the double save. Eliminating Angel this early, the definite main character of this episode, is just dumb when the sibling storyline with Maxie haven't even been squeezed to its maximum. The mini challenge was super fun. Versex lowkey had a rudemption arc for me this episode. I love her confessionals. She's not as grating as before and she actually seemed kinda genuine and vulnerable and I'm kinda getting her personality already. Even J Quinn, I'm not as irritated with her as in episode 1. She should've be in the bottom 3 though, and Popstar (even though I really like her and I find her super pretty). Most of the looks that they made are not the greatest, though. But to be fair, they were only given 4 hours to make them so I'll give them that. The best looks in the second runway, for me, are Yudipota, Zymba, Myx, and Khianna. And John's first runway was sooo good. The bottom two was deserved tbh, no matter how much I root for them. Mama Pao was stellar this episode. I really really love how she commands this judging panel. I noticed he's much more present from this two episodes alone than in the entirety of season 2. My favorite part of the episode was the entire judging segment. I never expected that I'll cry this much for the second episode. And if you all watched Untucked, John deserves all the love in the world. No one deserves to go through what they went through. The warmest hugs to John, with consent! If DRPH season 3 keeps this up, the season 3 curse will really be done. Extremely excited for the girl groups next week.
You are SO funny, this reaction cracked me tf up! 😂 Unlike several other YTers, I love how you’re so invested and always keep it 100% real and detailed with your critiques! Love
I usually don't watch a more than 20-minute video here in youtube, but here I am finishing this 46-minute video. Love your video reactions on DRPH Valerie! been watching you since the S1 reactions.
I really love how you get heated reacting to DRPH. It just goes to show how impactful this franchise is. What I especially loved about Myx's win this episode was how she dedicated her badge to the House of Le Queen: her drag mother, Eva Le Queen and drag sister ØV - both of which were the queens who bore the brunt of the "trash" comments from Rajo and Tess. It comforts me that Myx had the final words, despite Rajo's attempt to purify his words. Pure narrative bliss!
I love your analysis of how to rate a lipsync that is a “tie” or a “double sashay”. It SHOULD go back to how they did in the challenge/runway. I guess that answers who would’ve stayed during some of the iconic double sashays (Brook Lynn lol)
Nosi Balasi is derived from Sino Ba Sila (jumbled it) which in English translates to "Who Are They" the song is about not minding what other people thinks about u ;> the first line of the song says "don't pay attention to those who destroy u"
I was thinking about you when I knew it’s a non elimination week… “what would valery think?” oh gosh HAHA! what an episode amiright?! MIXED EMOTIONS TOO!!!
What makes this channel even more enjoyable is that it's also about conversation! Love how you encourage us to share/dump our thoughts here in the comment section. I love it! ❤
I agree with you, Valery. In terms of fairness, Angel should've go home. However, Angel's presence in the competition is really THERE, her confessionals, her delulu moments, where some of the viewers were here for. I think producers, tryna save Angel to save the show as well. Other than that, I think there might be a double sashay or it might be Maxie and Angel lip syncing against each other. ❤
Ok I usually dislike it when this show bends its own rules to pull stunts here and there, but this one was actually well executed imo. The double save felt satisying and genuine(?) As a viewer If that makes sense. For example take the Kandy Muse save on S13. It was midway through the season, the lipsync was meh, and some queens had been eliminated fair and square prior to that moment. That moment showed clear favoritism and unfairness towards the others who had been eliminated before, and the lead up to it was clearly unnatural. In Angel's case however, it feels like a genuine payoff to a build up done properly. The emotional turnoil between the siblings created tense emotional build-up and some actually great tv the viewers could enjoy. AND this was only the second episode of the season, and no other queen had been eliminated before. Thus, reducing the unfair atmosphere these types of moments bring up usually. Just think of this episode as an overdramatic, well produced non-elimination part two of the premier.
I think Miss Val, in filipino culture, were deeply rooted of uplifting our siblings/families even in the end we have to sacrifice our triumph over theirs... on our values and morals, the triumph of our family is the triumph for ourselves as well. I believe that in America, its on for your own but in the Philippines, it quite different and were more family oriented so I truly I understand your opinion Miss Val!😊
Well, I come from a Latin household so I can definitely relate to a Filipino household. So family comes first before anything. But I have to understand that this is still a reality show competition and they know exactly what they signed up for and they should be ready for all scenarios, for example. Yes, Maxie had that reaction and she stated what she stated, which was totally fair and her feelings are valid. But why wasn't angel's reactions and statements weren't the same way and they come from the exact same household. But I appreciate your comment and I totally understand where you're coming from❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
i think everything about this is planned (the ep 1 & 2 non-elimination) because from what i've heard there's supposed to be 12 queens this season but the last queen backed out for unknown reason. i also agree with the production team to not eliminate any queens this episode 2 because the episode 3 is a girlgroup challenge which means no cast should be left out for their theme song this season.
27:55 ohhhh i laughed the hardest on this part! You sooo got what my mind would like to say! Over it! Should have not given the airtime to clean up his mess! Rajo’s stamped and sealed, can’t take that away mama!
As an eldest, we were raised to protect and take care for the younger siblings no matter what it takes. Even if it cost us to sacrifice. This is why what ever happened in the runway between maxie and angel, it pulled the heartstrings of the judges and production so hard that they decided to let angel stay.
the song is NOSI BALASI, it is flipped from the phrase SINO BA SILA? in english WHO ARE THEY? so basically it is a song that says, I dont give a FCK what they say!
For everyones information the pit crew in the right who is holding a can is the first trans man to be cast and be part of the pit crew this season and its the first time in The Philippines drag race herstory😊
Sari-sari stores are local shops who buy in bulk and sell to people nearby so they don't have to go to malls. They're walking distance variety stores with mostly food and hygiene products, which is why people had wrappers, soda cans, and Versex did phones to show the part for SIM cards and load. These trash materials... mostly just Rajo Laurel PR.
I think this non-elimination makes sense because, allegedly, one other queen backed out during filming. To keep the number of episodes correct, they had to introduce one non-elimination. ALSO! I know we have our opinions on Rajo, but I really love how he compliments Yudipota in her own dialect. The PH has SO many different dialects, and it just hits different when you get complimented in your hometown dialect.
I really enjoyed Myx’s commentary this episode. Of course, she won, but even before we got to that, I liked her attitude and banter. Her personality was charming me. And well, the win was the cherry on the sundae.
The way I was fem queen finger waving down to you Ms Valery when you were reading Rajo Laurel for that fake moment of his about the trash !!! You ate that up sis! ❤😂
Not Miss Valery having a severe conginitive dissonance at the end LMAO. Honestly, though 2 consecutive weeks of non-elimination is not ideal. I think it's the perfect decision to keep Angel. She's shaping up to be the heart of the season, and losing her this early would've felt wrong. In my opinion, the way you reacted to Angel staying kind of shows how her staying is a good decision. I felt your heart respond to her. Had anyone else been eliminated, would you have mixed feelings? I don't think so. Given that you have always stuck strictly with your values with what you think is fair and still felt unsure with what you feel now, it seems like she has pulled your heartstrings a bit.
please dont invalidate the noble act of Maxie for Angel - its a Filipino family value (as opposed to Western values, which can be too competitive and individualistic). life's not all about competition and she was genuine about it. pinoys and most asians with filial values can definitely relate to this. on elimination, i dont like it too when they cancel it. but i think this is because they should have been 12 queens instead of 11. next episode it should be for real.
why do i feel like production wants both sisters in the finale... hopefully the sisters would do good in this season so people won't feel like they're favored like other queens from different franchise-all their efforts just to get called the favorite of production... i don't want that to happen to the sisters ahhhhh
Yessss Ms. Valery reading Rajo! Everything you said about that situation is correct! Let's not use the screen time for that person! Also, totally agree with you that Angel and Versex should've been in the bottom two, heck even Maxie since they want to do the sister storyline. Tita Baby did good enough to be safe. I love Angel too but it's unfair for the rest of the queens when they judge this way. Someone should've went home, it's a competition not a pity party. Anyway, love your reactions!
34:05 this is a clear biased feedback from this judge. He is a known photographer who have worked with celebrities. Versex, on the other hand, have worked on shoots doing hair. Their common high profile client is heart evangelista. They may have worked together in the past or at least introduced. Clearly, versex’s creation is not runway worthy. Vision was promising, execution’s not giving.
To explain to you Miss Val what is happening here. In Filipino culture you can stay in your parents house until you are 100 years old if you want to and most asian, we share the same culture as family oriented.
Totally understand.. its yhe same for latin households and families. I just think that we think about the situation differently. And that's OK, and I appreciate your comment.❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@Valeryvision it is also important Val that they make the show relatable for Filipino viewers because in the Philippines LGBTQ+ is only Tolerated but not totally accepted. I like that the show seeks first the approval of the Nation then the international fans. We don't want the show to be banned in the future.
Maxie is starting to bug me. I don’t think she’s taking this competition seriously and I will be extremely upset if they are setting up a Maxie-Angel final 2 just for storyline. 🙄
You know this thing of Brazilians an Filipinos are cousins make a lot of sense when you hava a minichallenge of throwing flip flops. Brazil is made of flip flops. It's glued to out feet. The foot fetish people have no peace here. Is it the same in the Philippines?
I'm Filipino and that family bond is VERY TRUE to a lot of families in PH like they would prioritize family over competition or cash prize. The western culture of when you get 18 and a job, your family disowns you, DOESN'T EXIST in PH culture. Filipinos are VERY FAMILY ORIENTED. They keep in touch and they love them beyond reality tv show. I mean not my family though but most. I also reacted the way Westerners did when Maxie said to chose herself. Like if she ended up winning the competition with that mindset, I would be pissed as a competitor. But I'm feeling wholesome about their bond as a viewer and as a Filipino fan. Also if I was Angel, I would also be mad at Maxie coz if I wanted to be the beat the best of the best, I gotta beat my own sister (biggest competition) at my best. I'll be beating her best fairly for the integrity of the competition and also because I rightfully earned it, not because she handled & surrendered it for me. Like dafuq sis I'll owe myself for winning eme I don't think Maxie would have said that though if it was a bestfriend or a lover situation. But because they're blood related family, she did all that. Like that FAMILY BOND prevails among everything here in PH. But I'm not them, and they are not me. And I'm not one within them. I'm not raised that Filipino bond way. Like love that for them but not for me though.
The Filipino Telenovela runway critique drama😂😂😂😂 Angel giving Serena Chacha bottom runway 2.0😂😂😂😂 If there was supposed to be 12 drag queens; and only 11 showed up, then episode 2 is a non-elimination episode.
Let's have this conversation. Compare MaxieAngel relationship to Sugar/Spice ... We see a huge difference in how families are when it comes to our different cultures etc 😅
Oh yes, a 100%. That's a fact, sugar and spice come from white families. And as someone that is part of a Latin family and household. I totally get the family aspect and how much we support and love each other. But I also have to understand this is a competition that they signed up for and I really do appreciate your comment.❤❤❤❤
They both did great at the lip sync. The song is basically about being yourself and doing what you want despite what other people say. Two good interpretations of an iconic OPM song. I love you, mother!
I think this design challenge went down on taste in fashion. like the judging panel had different taste levels but I'm glad that didn't hinder who did better on the ball so congrats to Myx Chanel! I also thought of you when they didn't have an elimination this week Hahahah
I had mixed emotions about the situation at the end as well. Like, on one hand, I really wanted Angel to go further in the competition, but also girl... somebody has to go home! I actually felt like they'd give her a spot in S4 instead, and I honestly would've preferred that instead. At the end of the day, the decision is done and I hope she makes use of this save and eats the competition up going forward. As always, I love your reactions so much and love how unbiased you are! Much love to you everyday 🩷💜
Hahahah I know you gonna be mad since this is AGAIN a non-elimination episode 🤣🤣🤣 But I agree with the winner - MYX SERVED IT. Yudipota, my queen, is close second 💞💞💞
I get your point about the Angel-Maxie relationship, and it’s clear that their bond is strong. But as Filipinos, we hold our families above everything else. We’re willing to go to great lengths, even to the point of sacrificing our own happiness or comfort, just to ensure the well-being of our loved ones. It’s ingrained in our culture to prioritize family, and that often means putting their needs ahead of our own.
I understand your problem with no elimination episodes but this is not just a competition it's a reality show and the producers are more interested in manipulating our emotions. Moma Pao knew what was said in the werkroom last week and used that to spark the drama we saw later in Untucked. This week they were obviously trying to rehabilitate a certain judge who kept saying " trashion" and offered an overlong non-apology of the " we're only knocking you down to build you up" variety which is always bullshit. Also the whole Angel/Maxie thing was contrived by production. Moma Pao asking "innocently " why did you come on the same season as your sister? Because they were both cast so that you could pit them against each other. The only reason Maxie was still on stage and not back in the werkroom with the other safe queens was so that they could ask her about Angel going home. 7 queens on stage, the top 3, the bottom 3 and Maxie who everyone agreed was safe. They never intended to send anyone home which is why Versex wasn't in the bottom 2. Angel would have kicked her ass. This was a great episode, head and shoulders above most of what we've been served up by other franchises this year but let's not pretend it's just some fair competition where queens are judged strictly on merit.
Gworlllll I was halfway through this episode and I was like I gotta see what my girl Val has to say about THISSS😭😭 and it got better and better like whatt?!?😂😭 much love🫶🤍
I'm throughly enjoying your reaction to DRPH. As a Filipino, it's a "TV trope" that they produced in this episode. In my fantasy, Ver should've been in the bottom with Angel. But if that happened, that might put the producers in a conflict in who they'd save: the villain or the unhinged queen. I think both lend their personalities to great TV. With the way things turned out, they milked the drama that most Filipinos love. Keep on being critical on your reactions, I can see your passion in doing this. Much love from the Philippines! ❤🇵🇭
Drag Race Ph needs to be seen around the world....please share and give this video a 👍👍👍👍👍 comment your thoughts about this episode????👀👀👀👀👀
LMAO I already know you're gonna hate the results of this ep knowing last week was a non-elimination and we know how you hate those 😂
You know what Miss Val, half of this episode i don't like.
It's all a PR and Redemption episode for Rajo. For calling the queen a trash and the backslash he gets because of that.
I love Myx Channel and she is deserving of that win but for me it's all stunts. Myx is the daughter of Eva le Queen and part of the house of Playhouse with OV that is also called trash by one of the guest judges.

I think Rajo has a major investment in this show that they made an episode for him, that's how desperate they are 😅
Tea: one of the new pit crew is actually a Transgender Man. 💯 The first ever in DRPH or maybe in any other franchise.
angel was the winner of the lip sync for me
We dis that in one daaay 😭😭😭 last min before I go in to the competition so thank you🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

When Angel said to herself "Now... sashay away"
Mama Pao was like nah I can't let this btch go home this early lol Angel's charm is undeniable huhu
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Her sending herself “home” was iconic!
She pulled a Jade So. 😭 She eliminated herself.
Mother im loving your critiques so far.. you dont read them and your not biased to your favorite
❤❤❤❤❤
i think ep1 was already originally planned to be non-elim even without the 12th queen backing out, and for this episode, because the 12th queen did backout, maybe they did a double shantay this early in the season to even it out. but in my opinion, i think the producers saved angel because they want to push the story line of her and maxie
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Agree. Angel as an entertaining queen ia a plus to the season.
But I think the lipsync deserve to double shantay.
Miss khianna myx and yuditopa are top tier this season
❤❤❤❤
I agree that it was judged based on emotion. But I think this competition needs to be taken in the context of Filipino culture.

not me randomly crying over this comment 😅 but yes, this is what being Filipino is all about...family and sacrifice.
I think this is what makes Drag Race Philippines different from other franchises. Emotion and family really is a big factor ever since the first season. I can recall Marina and Xilo's lipsync, Katkat and Bernie's, Matilduh and Jade's, and now Angel and Tita Baby's, among others, especially when the winner can go either way, storyline and emotions really affect the decisions. Filipinos have this emotional bias in my opinion and it shows in almost every reality program and talent competitions.
❤❤❤❤
In a Filipino perspective, I can see why Maxie chose herself as the queen to go home because in a typical Filipino family setting, elder siblings would rather lose their shot just to have their younger siblings get the opportunity. Maybe, she thought she would not want to add to Angel's frustrations and self-doubt by, in a way, "betraying" her.
22:31 “your body is giving you cereal box” took me out 😭😭😭😭🤣

One thing you gotta know about us Asians miss val is we are just THAT family oriented. It's just in our blood and we can never change that no matter how hard we try. So I completely understand them.

As the older sibling, I would react like Maxie as well. It's a natural reaction. Blood will always be stronger than a competition.

This episode was such a rollercoaster of emotions. I laughed out loud, I cried, I was amazed, I was gagged, I had fun. The best episode of season 3 so far-and it's only the second episode! Also a total 180 from episode 1, this episode is just wholesome. This season is really gearing up to be the best drph season yet because holy shit, this cast is supreme. Their dynamics are off the roof.
I am a Tita Baby stan and an Angel simp so seeing them both in the bottom was super hard. I literally went through several cycles of my life watching the last 15 mins of the episode. I was not mad at all about the double save. Eliminating Angel this early, the definite main character of this episode, is just dumb when the sibling storyline with Maxie haven't even been squeezed to its maximum.
The mini challenge was super fun. Versex lowkey had a rudemption arc for me this episode. I love her confessionals. She's not as grating as before and she actually seemed kinda genuine and vulnerable and I'm kinda getting her personality already. Even J Quinn, I'm not as irritated with her as in episode 1. She should've be in the bottom 3 though, and Popstar (even though I really like her and I find her super pretty).
Most of the looks that they made are not the greatest, though. But to be fair, they were only given 4 hours to make them so I'll give them that. The best looks in the second runway, for me, are Yudipota, Zymba, Myx, and Khianna. And John's first runway was sooo good. The bottom two was deserved tbh, no matter how much I root for them.
Mama Pao was stellar this episode. I really really love how she commands this judging panel. I noticed he's much more present from this two episodes alone than in the entirety of season 2. My favorite part of the episode was the entire judging segment. I never expected that I'll cry this much for the second episode.
And if you all watched Untucked, John deserves all the love in the world. No one deserves to go through what they went through. The warmest hugs to John, with consent!
If DRPH season 3 keeps this up, the season 3 curse will really be done. Extremely excited for the girl groups next week.
Yessss i was cryinggggg watching untucked i had to pause while filming ❤❤❤❤
You are SO funny, this reaction cracked me tf up! 😂 Unlike several other YTers, I love how you’re so invested and always keep it 100% real and detailed with your critiques! Love
❤❤❤❤❤
I usually don't watch a more than 20-minute video here in youtube, but here I am finishing this 46-minute video. Love your video reactions on DRPH Valerie! been watching you since the S1 reactions.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Same mother, i also saw the "VIDEO" 😂, so far, im loving this season. The cast, the lewks, the drama and everything ❤
Sauce?
❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂
I really love how you get heated reacting to DRPH. It just goes to show how impactful this franchise is.
What I especially loved about Myx's win this episode was how she dedicated her badge to the House of Le Queen: her drag mother, Eva Le Queen and drag sister ØV - both of which were the queens who bore the brunt of the "trash" comments from Rajo and Tess.
It comforts me that Myx had the final words, despite Rajo's attempt to purify his words. Pure narrative bliss!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love your analysis of how to rate a lipsync that is a “tie” or a “double sashay”. It SHOULD go back to how they did in the challenge/runway.
I guess that answers who would’ve stayed during some of the iconic double sashays (Brook Lynn lol)
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love Love Love!! So glad I found this GEM!! My new Pit Stop❤
Yassssss welcome to the familia❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nosi Balasi is derived from Sino Ba Sila (jumbled it) which in English translates to "Who Are They" the song is about not minding what other people thinks about u ;> the first line of the song says "don't pay attention to those who destroy u"
Thank you for this❤❤❤❤
I was thinking about you when I knew it’s a non elimination week… “what would valery think?” oh gosh HAHA! what an episode amiright?! MIXED EMOTIONS TOO!!!
😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
Same!! After hearing about the double shantay, i immediately thought of miss valery..
@@jaeiriffjimeneziii879 😂🤣😂
Next is Nina Bo'nina Brown
What makes this channel even more enjoyable is that it's also about conversation! Love how you encourage us to share/dump our thoughts here in the comment section. I love it! ❤
I seriously love to hear everyone's opinions and thoughts ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I usually don't like seeing no one go but I loved this!!! Such a good tv moment
❤❤❤❤
I agree with you, Valery. In terms of fairness, Angel should've go home. However, Angel's presence in the competition is really THERE, her confessionals, her delulu moments, where some of the viewers were here for. I think producers, tryna save Angel to save the show as well. Other than that, I think there might be a double sashay or it might be Maxie and Angel lip syncing against each other. ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the judges and Miss Universe 2022, Ms. R'Bonney designed her own outfit this episode ❤. She has a video out on TH-cam about it.
❤❤❤❤
Ok I usually dislike it when this show bends its own rules to pull stunts here and there, but this one was actually well executed imo. The double save felt satisying and genuine(?) As a viewer If that makes sense.
For example take the Kandy Muse save on S13. It was midway through the season, the lipsync was meh, and some queens had been eliminated fair and square prior to that moment. That moment showed clear favoritism and unfairness towards the others who had been eliminated before, and the lead up to it was clearly unnatural.
In Angel's case however, it feels like a genuine payoff to a build up done properly. The emotional turnoil between the siblings created tense emotional build-up and some actually great tv the viewers could enjoy. AND this was only the second episode of the season, and no other queen had been eliminated before. Thus, reducing the unfair atmosphere these types of moments bring up usually. Just think of this episode as an overdramatic, well produced non-elimination part two of the premier.
❤❤❤❤❤
I second the motion
I concur
Yes mother your completely right we all tune into your reactions because your always unbiased and dont judge off of emotions 👏
❤❤❤❤❤
I think Miss Val, in filipino culture, were deeply rooted of uplifting our siblings/families even in the end we have to sacrifice our triumph over theirs... on our values and morals, the triumph of our family is the triumph for ourselves as well. I believe that in America, its on for your own but in the Philippines, it quite different and were more family oriented so I truly I understand your opinion Miss Val!😊
Well, I come from a Latin household so I can definitely relate to a Filipino household. So family comes first before anything. But I have to understand that this is still a reality show competition and they know exactly what they signed up for and they should be ready for all scenarios, for example. Yes, Maxie had that reaction and she stated what she stated, which was totally fair and her feelings are valid. But why wasn't angel's reactions and statements weren't the same way and they come from the exact same household. But I appreciate your comment and I totally understand where you're coming from❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fun fact: in Versex confessionals, she only speaks in English and Gay Lingo, which is so fun!😅
Love ittt❤❤❤❤❤
She's auditioning for VS the world, and so is Kihanna, speaking english at every opportunity.
Love your reaction on the end 😂. Love you, Ms. Valery!❤
i think everything about this is planned (the ep 1 & 2 non-elimination) because from what i've heard there's supposed to be 12 queens this season but the last queen backed out for unknown reason. i also agree with the production team to not eliminate any queens this episode 2 because the episode 3 is a girlgroup challenge which means no cast should be left out for their theme song this season.
❤❤❤❤❤
27:55 ohhhh i laughed the hardest on this part! You sooo got what my mind would like to say! Over it! Should have not given the airtime to clean up his mess! Rajo’s stamped and sealed, can’t take that away mama!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 rajo cant fool usssss!!!😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
@@Valeryvision😂😂😂 right?!! Child get outta here
@@Valeryvision truly he can never! lol
27:55 Girl, same thoughts!!! I'm respectfully annoyed with Rajo 🤣
😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
As an eldest, we were raised to protect and take care for the younger siblings no matter what it takes. Even if it cost us to sacrifice. This is why what ever happened in the runway between maxie and angel, it pulled the heartstrings of the judges and production so hard that they decided to let angel stay.
❤❤❤❤
27:55 Lmfao completely agree, Rajo needs to STOP
😂😂❤❤❤❤
the song is NOSI BALASI, it is flipped from the phrase SINO BA SILA? in english WHO ARE THEY? so basically it is a song that says, I dont give a FCK what they say!
Yessss thank you for this❤❤❤❤
This episode is on my top 3 fave episodes EVER. So good.
❤❤❤❤
We about to be here forever gurl. They gonna save people over and over via personality. Ger ready for A full year season hahah
Maxie picking herself to go home over her sister is so filipino..
❤❤❤❤❤❤
😂😂😂😂😂 the way you layed into rajo 😂😂😂😂😂
❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂
Your emotional roller coaster at the end was cracking me up…as I was crying.
😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
Great reaction and love your opinions as always ❤
For everyones information the pit crew in the right who is holding a can is the first trans man to be cast and be part of the pit crew this season and its the first time in The Philippines drag race herstory😊
Awesome❤❤❤
18:44 “evil era….yeah…hm” sooo funny
😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
Popstar bench and J Q should be in the bottom two
❤❤❤❤
I love that she stayed.
❤❤❤
first one is made with items or products you can find in a variety store, the other one is from unconventional materials
❤❤❤❤
Sari-sari stores are local shops who buy in bulk and sell to people nearby so they don't have to go to malls. They're walking distance variety stores with mostly food and hygiene products, which is why people had wrappers, soda cans, and Versex did phones to show the part for SIM cards and load. These trash materials... mostly just Rajo Laurel PR.
I cannot get over the fact that there's a Queen named postar bench.
😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
I think this non-elimination makes sense because, allegedly, one other queen backed out during filming. To keep the number of episodes correct, they had to introduce one non-elimination.
ALSO! I know we have our opinions on Rajo, but I really love how he compliments Yudipota in her own dialect. The PH has SO many different dialects, and it just hits different when you get complimented in your hometown dialect.
❤❤❤❤❤
Zymba Ding was hard robbed idc. This is giving producer storyline
❤
everyone's not safe but somehow they all made it to episode 3 lol
😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
I really enjoyed Myx’s commentary this episode. Of course, she won, but even before we got to that, I liked her attitude and banter. Her personality was charming me. And well, the win was the cherry on the sundae.
I love her so much. Definitely my fave even amongst so many queens I’m loving. 🥰
Yessss❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just knew you were gonna hate the double shantay 😂
❤😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
The way I was fem queen finger waving down to you Ms Valery when you were reading Rajo Laurel for that fake moment of his about the trash !!! You ate that up sis! ❤😂
😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Not Miss Valery having a severe conginitive dissonance at the end LMAO. Honestly, though 2 consecutive weeks of non-elimination is not ideal. I think it's the perfect decision to keep Angel. She's shaping up to be the heart of the season, and losing her this early would've felt wrong.
In my opinion, the way you reacted to Angel staying kind of shows how her staying is a good decision. I felt your heart respond to her. Had anyone else been eliminated, would you have mixed feelings? I don't think so. Given that you have always stuck strictly with your values with what you think is fair and still felt unsure with what you feel now, it seems like she has pulled your heartstrings a bit.
❤❤❤❤❤
Even though I LOVE me some Tita Baby I personally thought Angel ate her up in the lip sync..
❤❤❤❤❤
Goooorl!!! Hahahaha. It was JP of the pitcrew that you were talking about. 😂😂 I mean he's got some nice tool there 😂😂
👀👀👀🐸🐸🐸☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
After watching this episode, the first thing I thought is Valery's reaction for another non elimination episode lmao hahahahaha
😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
please dont invalidate the noble act of Maxie for Angel - its a Filipino family value (as opposed to Western values, which can be too competitive and individualistic). life's not all about competition and she was genuine about it. pinoys and most asians with filial values can definitely relate to this.
on elimination, i dont like it too when they cancel it. but i think this is because they should have been 12 queens instead of 11. next episode it should be for real.
❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for sharing your opinion ❤❤❤❤❤ i love it!
Inject this franchise straight into my veins, it's everything!
why do i feel like production wants both sisters in the finale... hopefully the sisters would do good in this season so people won't feel like they're favored like other queens from different franchise-all their efforts just to get called the favorite of production... i don't want that to happen to the sisters ahhhhh
❤❤❤❤
So the conversation Mamo Pao had with Angel and Maxie before critiques about who should go home was pointless, got it.
😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yessss Ms. Valery reading Rajo! Everything you said about that situation is correct! Let's not use the screen time for that person!
Also, totally agree with you that Angel and Versex should've been in the bottom two, heck even Maxie since they want to do the sister storyline. Tita Baby did good enough to be safe.
I love Angel too but it's unfair for the rest of the queens when they judge this way. Someone should've went home, it's a competition not a pity party. Anyway, love your reactions!
❤❤❤❤❤
Also your reaction to Angel being saved is SENDING meeee 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
34:05 this is a clear biased feedback from this judge. He is a known photographer who have worked with celebrities. Versex, on the other hand, have worked on shoots doing hair. Their common high profile client is heart evangelista. They may have worked together in the past or at least introduced. Clearly, versex’s creation is not runway worthy. Vision was promising, execution’s not giving.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
To explain to you Miss Val what is happening here.
In Filipino culture you can stay in your parents house until you are 100 years old if you want to and most asian, we share the same culture as family oriented.
Pretty much summed it up in a single sentence lol
Totally understand.. its yhe same for latin households and families. I just think that we think about the situation differently. And that's OK, and I appreciate your comment.❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@Valeryvision it is also important Val that they make the show relatable for Filipino viewers because in the Philippines LGBTQ+ is only Tolerated but not totally accepted.
I like that the show seeks first the approval of the Nation then the international fans.
We don't want the show to be banned in the future.
Tita baby has this song on casette when it came out 😂 (chanelling my inner bianca in me) love to see your reaction queen!! ❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Maxie is starting to bug me. I don’t think she’s taking this competition seriously and I will be extremely upset if they are setting up a Maxie-Angel final 2 just for storyline. 🙄
❤❤❤❤❤
You know this thing of Brazilians an Filipinos are cousins make a lot of sense when you hava a minichallenge of throwing flip flops. Brazil is made of flip flops. It's glued to out feet. The foot fetish people have no peace here.
Is it the same in the Philippines?
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wasn’t mad at the non-elimination but i would have been fine with Angel going home since she rightfully didn’t do well in the challenge.
❤❤❤❤❤
I'm Filipino and that family bond is VERY TRUE to a lot of families in PH like they would prioritize family over competition or cash prize.
The western culture of when you get 18 and a job, your family disowns you, DOESN'T EXIST in PH culture. Filipinos are VERY FAMILY ORIENTED. They keep in touch and they love them beyond reality tv show.
I mean not my family though but most. I also reacted the way Westerners did when Maxie said to chose herself. Like if she ended up winning the competition with that mindset, I would be pissed as a competitor. But I'm feeling wholesome about their bond as a viewer and as a Filipino fan.
Also if I was Angel, I would also be mad at Maxie coz if I wanted to be the beat the best of the best, I gotta beat my own sister (biggest competition) at my best. I'll be beating her best fairly for the integrity of the competition and also because I rightfully earned it, not because she handled & surrendered it for me. Like dafuq sis I'll owe myself for winning eme
I don't think Maxie would have said that though if it was a bestfriend or a lover situation. But because they're blood related family, she did all that. Like that FAMILY BOND prevails among everything here in PH.
But I'm not them, and they are not me. And I'm not one within them. I'm not raised that Filipino bond way. Like love that for them but not for me though.
The Filipino Telenovela runway critique drama😂😂😂😂
Angel giving Serena Chacha bottom runway 2.0😂😂😂😂
If there was supposed to be 12 drag queens; and only 11 showed up, then episode 2 is a non-elimination episode.
😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
Let's have this conversation. Compare MaxieAngel relationship to Sugar/Spice ... We see a huge difference in how families are when it comes to our different cultures etc 😅
Oh yes, a 100%. That's a fact, sugar and spice come from white families. And as someone that is part of a Latin family and household. I totally get the family aspect and how much we support and love each other. But I also have to understand this is a competition that they signed up for and I really do appreciate your comment.❤❤❤❤
Nosi Balasi is the reverse word for " Sino ba sila" which means who do you think you are
❤❤❤❤❤
They both did great at the lip sync. The song is basically about being yourself and doing what you want despite what other people say. Two good interpretations of an iconic OPM song. I love you, mother!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
J Quinn still walking after her shoe broke, professional and probably was what kept her safe because that outfit was a no
Yesss❤❤❤
18:40 I live for the evil era 😂😂
😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Amen.... Everything on this video💯
❤❤❤❤❤
I think this design challenge went down on taste in fashion. like the judging panel had different taste levels but I'm glad that didn't hinder who did better on the ball so congrats to Myx Chanel!
I also thought of you when they didn't have an elimination this week Hahahah
❤❤❤❤❤
The way Versex was called out though 👀
❤❤❤❤
The tumbang preso is the outfit marina wears during her finals in season 1
❤❤❤❤
I had mixed emotions about the situation at the end as well. Like, on one hand, I really wanted Angel to go further in the competition, but also girl... somebody has to go home! I actually felt like they'd give her a spot in S4 instead, and I honestly would've preferred that instead.
At the end of the day, the decision is done and I hope she makes use of this save and eats the competition up going forward.
As always, I love your reactions so much and love how unbiased you are! Much love to you everyday 🩷💜
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hahahah I know you gonna be mad since this is AGAIN a non-elimination episode 🤣🤣🤣 But I agree with the winner - MYX SERVED IT. Yudipota, my queen, is close second 💞💞💞
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I honestly wouldve loved if Angel got eliminated it feels so produced for her to have a Kandy wait moment
❤❤❤❤❤
You bring me so much joy
IM LIVING FOR THE PAUSES 😭😭😭😭
😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
I get your point about the Angel-Maxie relationship, and it’s clear that their bond is strong. But as Filipinos, we hold our families above everything else. We’re willing to go to great lengths, even to the point of sacrificing our own happiness or comfort, just to ensure the well-being of our loved ones. It’s ingrained in our culture to prioritize family, and that often means putting their needs ahead of our own.
So why wasnt angels answer to the same question the same?? They come from the same household and family❤❤❤❤❤❤
I understand your problem with no elimination episodes but this is not just a competition it's a reality show and the producers are more interested in manipulating our emotions. Moma Pao knew what was said in the werkroom last week and used that to spark the drama we saw later in Untucked. This week they were obviously trying to rehabilitate a certain judge who kept saying " trashion" and offered an overlong non-apology of the " we're only knocking you down to build you up" variety which is always bullshit. Also the whole Angel/Maxie thing was contrived by production. Moma Pao asking "innocently " why did you come on the same season as your sister? Because they were both cast so that you could pit them against each other. The only reason Maxie was still on stage and not back in the werkroom with the other safe queens was so that they could ask her about Angel going home. 7 queens on stage, the top 3, the bottom 3 and Maxie who everyone agreed was safe. They never intended to send anyone home which is why Versex wasn't in the bottom 2. Angel would have kicked her ass. This was a great episode, head and shoulders above most of what we've been served up by other franchises this year but let's not pretend it's just some fair competition where queens are judged strictly on merit.
❤❤❤❤❤
Valery slayed all my thoughts lol
😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
Gworlllll I was halfway through this episode and I was like I gotta see what my girl Val has to say about THISSS😭😭 and it got better and better like whatt?!?😂😭 much love🫶🤍
😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Personality i felt angel won that lipsync. But it was a close call so double shantay made sense. Now we know there will double sashay on it's way😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm throughly enjoying your reaction to DRPH. As a Filipino, it's a "TV trope" that they produced in this episode.
In my fantasy, Ver should've been in the bottom with Angel. But if that happened, that might put the producers in a conflict in who they'd save: the villain or the unhinged queen. I think both lend their personalities to great TV.
With the way things turned out, they milked the drama that most Filipinos love.
Keep on being critical on your reactions, I can see your passion in doing this. Much love from the Philippines! ❤🇵🇭
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
