Arizona Brandy, Bernie, Captivating Katkat, and M1ss Jade So were named as finalists of the reality show “Drag Race Philippines” which aired last Wednesday, Sept. 27.
The final four drag queens were announced at the end of the show’s ninth episode, following Arizona’s win on the titular lip-sync for your life against eliminated contestants Hana Beshie and OV C—T.
In the show, the queens who are up for elimination after the mini- and maxi-challenges will prepare a lip-sync performance to a song. The recent episode featured “Dati” by Sam Concepcion, Tippy Dos Santos, and Quest, as captured by one @EvangelistaHiro on X (formerly Twitter).
Hands down, Arizona delivered what needed to be delivered! It’s a two-face lipsync, which means you need to emulate the female and male counterparts of the song.#DragRacePH pic.twitter.com/U12YctR2A4
