MANILA — Filipinos watching “Drag Race UK vs. The World” Season 3 saw back-to-back exits after homegrown drag queen Minty Fresh was eliminated from the competition.

In a report, it said that Minty, a contestant from the inaugural season of “Drag Race Philippines,” landed in the Bottom 3 after a weak performance in the maxi challenge, which combined Snatch Game with a beauty pageant. She impersonated a unicorn, but her jokes failed to make host RuPaul and guest judges Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts laugh.

She redeemed herself somewhat on the Let There Be Cake runway with a diwata-inspired outfit, but still ended up in the Bottom 3 alongside Swedish-Brazilian contestant Fontana and Mexican competitor Serena Moreno.

In a Lip Sync Battle to Jade’s “Angel of My Dreams,” Fontana won RuPaul’s favor, eliminating Minty. Gawdland, the Thai drag queen who had saved Minty in the previous episode, chose to save Serena this time.

With Minty following Filipino-Canadian Melinda Verga off the stage, the only remaining contestant of Filipino heritage is British Bulacan-born drag queen Zahirah Zapanta.

Other remaining competitors include Mariah Balenciaga from the United States, The Only Naomy from Germany, and British queens Sminty Drop and Kate Bush.
