Bhorj was finally sent home in the previous episode, and now we’re getting closer and closer to the season finale. Let’s see who’s going to make it all the way to the end!
While there’s some sadness about Bhorj’s departure when the queens head back to the Werk Room, it’s quickly replaced by joy as some of the queens feel that Bhorj was able to showcase who she really is to all the viewers.
The queens also celebrate Taylor, who finally earns a RuBadge. Taylor is also reveling in her win, and it starts to rub Manza the wrong way, which means either one of them might be going home today. Apparently, the two of them fought some time ago and they haven’t spoken since, and Taylor wants to clear the air now despite Manza’s refusal to do so. Meanwhile, Merckz is calling both of them monkeys in her confessional and Valeria is wanting the two of them to go home. One of them might, if the producers are setting it up this early in the episode.
The fight between Manza and Taylor continues the next day, with Taylor explaining that it started because of Manza performing a Taylor Swift song on Facebook Live while Taylor was watching. This is like that one episode of UNHhhh!
After making a side comment about Manza doing a Taylor Swift song, Manza’s friends started making fun of Taylor’s appearance, and Manza claims that it was something else beside that Taylor Swift song. It was because the two of them were fighting over a guy. The dick cannot be that good.
Speaking of dick, Mama Pao walks in and tells them that their mini challenge is going to be Hitad Rivalry, and they have to be in boy drag to do it. They’re paired up and these queens have to do pick-up lines the way masc gays do and it’s hilarious. Or at least, it was hilarious to me, I don’t know if the humor’s going to translate. Andy wins and can determine the order of queens when it comes to the Maxi Challenge, which is a roast of the runners-up for the past three seasons.
The queens start discussing the roast and I think Maureen brings up a fair point. She’s a provincial queen, so she doesn’t know these Manila queens well enough to roast them without it venturing into offensive territory. Is that production signalling it’s her time to go? Andy also hands out the order with very little drama, other than Taylor expressing nervousness at being the last one to speak, since there is a lot of pressure going last.
They get their roast coaching with Viñas, and I think they put in that sandwich method thing because as vicious as the queens can get on a roast, netizens are even more brutal and can even take things more personally than the queen actually being roasted. I kinda fear for anyone who ends up being unintentionally offensive here, to be honest.
The roast starts and Maureen Biology is unexpectedly good! Katana was also so funny, and had the advantage of sounding like the baklang kanal that we all love. Manza was also funny, but unintentionally? I don’t really think her jokes were actually funny, but she was.
After the runway tribute to Jiggly, Manza is the only queen declared safe, with the rest being the top and bottom queens. And I think other than Taylor and Andy, most everyone else got mixed critiques. Taylor and Andy definitely will be the bottom queens. Although, from backstage, it seems like a lot more of the queens feel like they’re lip-syncing this episode.
Maureen wins the roast, while Taylor and Andy are the bottom queens, fulfilling my prophecy a couple of sentences back. Unfortunately, it’s no longer in Andy to fight another day and she throws the lip sync for Taylor.
If any of you guys like what I do, feel free to leave me a tip!
