In the first episode of Untucked, RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Jiggly Caliente, who serves as one of the main judges of Drag Race Philippines, surprises the queens with some much-needed facetime after their first runway. Waiting for the judges’ final decisions can be a nerve-wracking experience, but Jiggly dishes out some wisdom on making it through even beyond the competition. “Even if you get eliminated, it is not the end,” she shares. “I didn’t win, but I became a working actress in the US.” Check out the first episode of Untucked, exclusively on HBO Go with PLDT Home.

Brigiding stirs up some drama

Brigiding, one of the contenders this season, brings up some past issues involving Minty Fresh and Marina Summers, two of her competitors. Fed up with the issue, Minty decides to confront Brigiding once and for all. Brigiding later admits that she was just using her fellow drag queens’ rift to “stir the pot” at her own show.

The queens’ tussle made the rounds of social media as memes, with Brigiding even posting some of them on her Instagram account! Stream Episode 2 of Untucked on HBO Go powered by PLDT Home.

Turing’s pep talks

Throughout Drag Race Philippines: Untucked, Turing is always quick to offer encouragement to her fellow queens. While Lady Morgana expresses her worries about the judges’ critiques in Episode 1 of Untucked, Turing comforts her by saying, “You just had a bad day. It doesn’t mean that you have bad drag.” The statement quickly becomes Turing’s signature catchphrase over the course of the show.

Three episodes later, Turing and Lady Morgana end up in the bottom two. Over and over, Turing tells Lady Morgana that their lip sync needed to be a “double shantay” so that neither of them would go home. Turing says this to Lady Morgana like a mantra from backstage, even as they walk back out for their lip sync performances. Watch Drag Race Philippines: Untucked exclusively on HBO Go via PLDT Home.

Xilhouete melts down in the Werk Room

In the middle of discussing the judges’ critiques of her performance and runway look, Xilhouete bursts into tears after seeing a photo of her and her grandmother on the screen. Apparently, on one of her visits prior to the start of the show, her grandmother no longer recognized her.

Xilhouete later admitted that the pressure of the show, working amidst exhaustion, and carrying the pain of her grandmother’s inability to recognize her caused her to buckle down. “I’m not even here to compete with any one of you,” she explains. “I’m here for different reasons.” Watch Episode 3 of Untucked on HBO Go powered by PLDT Home.

A visit from Asia’s Songbird

Fan-demonium ensues as Regine Velasquez-Alcasid graces the Werk Room while the queens wait for the judges’ critiques. The pop superstar gives the queens a much-needed pep-talk, recounting her experiences from joining over 300 singing competitions. “That is the nature of a competition,” she says, “but the whole experience will make you stronger.” Meanwhile, the queens relish the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be face-to-face with one of their idols.
