Arizona Brandy, Bernie, Captivating Katkat and M1ss Jade So were named as finalists of the reality show “Drag Race Philippines” that aired last Wednesday, September 27.
The final four drag queens were announced at the end of the show’s ninth episode, following Arizona’s victory in the titular lip-sync for your life against eliminated contestants Hana Beshie and OV CT.
In the show, the queens eliminated 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, captured by a guy named @EvangelistaHiro on X (formerly Twitter).
Without a doubt, Arizona delivered what needed to be delivered! It’s a two-faced lip sync, which means you have to emulate the song’s female and male counterparts.#DragRacePH pic.twitter.com/U12YctR2A4

Notably, Bernie, Captivating Katkat, and M1ss Jade So, who use the pronouns she or her, made history as the show’s first group of trans women contestants.
The reigning queen, Precious Paula Nicole, will pass her crown to the winner during the show’s finale on October 4. EDV
