MANILA, Philippines — The third season of reality competition "Drag Race UK vs. The World" saw Filipinos exit back-to-back after homegrown drag queen Minty Fresh was eliminated.
Minty, a contestant from the inaugural season of "Drag Race Philippines," lost a Lip Sync Battle of Jade's "Angel of My Dreams" to Swedish-Brazilian contestant Fontana.
The Filipino drag queen landed in the Bottom 3 after a dismal performance in the maxi challenge which fused the popular Snatch Game and a beauty pageant.
Minty impersonated a unicorn but her jokes fell flat, unable to make host RuPaul and guest judges Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts laugh.
She somehow managed to redeem herself in the Let There Be Cake runway with a diwata-inspired outfit however she still placed in the Bottom 3 with Fontana and Mexican competitor Serena Moreno.
Thai drag queen Gawdland won her second consecutive badge after impersonating rapper Cardi B and donning a runway outfit inspired by fighting fish.
Gawdland had saved Minty from elimination the previous episode but this time instead saved Serena, leaving Minty and Fontana to battle it out and the latter coming out with RuPaul's favor.
With Minty following Filipino-Canadian drag artist Melinda Verga off the stage, the sole representative with Filipino heritage left is British Bulacan-born drag queen Zahirah Zapanta.
Also remaining in the competition are Mariah Balenciaga from the United States, The Only Naomy from Germany, and other British bets Sminty Drop and Kate Bush.
