The latest episode of ‘Drag Race Philippines: Slaysian Royale’ delivered both laughs and drama as the queens took on “Snatch Elections,” the franchise’s cheeky twist on the iconic Snatch Game challenge.
Viñas DeLuxe shone with her portrayal of Vice President Sara Duterte, Brigiding impressed as Maria Ressa, and Yuhua Hamasaki stole the spotlight with her witty take on infamous scammer Anna Delvey. All three were named the week’s top performers.
Meanwhile, Khianna as Toni Fowler and Siam PhuSri as Lisa of Blackpink landed in the bottom. Arizona Brandy, who portrayed Lyn from Las Vegas, and Suki Doll, who embodied Lyn May, were declared safe.
Following the season’s format, the top queens lip-synced for their legacy and the power to decide who would be eliminated. In the end, Yuhua clinched her first RuBadge of the season and chose to send Siam PhuSri home.
After her win, Yuhua shared on Instagram that her Anna Delvey impersonation was actually a reprise of a look she once did on the red carpet of A Big Bold Beautiful Journey in New York. Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, became infamous for posing as a German heiress to scam New York’s art and social elite, a story dramatized in the 2022 Netflix series Inventing Anna.
The runway also drew attention this week, with Brigiding, Khianna, and Viñas DeLuxe showcasing some of the episode’s strongest looks. Highlights included a reimagined “Nuno sa Punso” called “Nuno sa Feng Shui,” a fierce Sarangay ensemble, and Viñas’ jaw-dropping dwarf-inspired outfit designed by Iji Montalbo—described by the queen as a fusion of folklore and fortune.
This season’s winner will walk away with ₱2,000,000—double the cash prize of the first three seasons—thanks to BingoPlus, plus a year’s supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics. Six queens remain in the running to become the first inductee into the Slaysian Hall of Fame.
