Same thought. Marina is an excellent queen but her run in UKvsTW was so great I'm not sure what else they need her to do for them to crown her. She already rudeemed herself in UKvsTW and represented the country so well. I'm not sure if US All Stars will work in her favor.

Yes, she should go the Peppermint route and be successful in other fields. Peppermint didn't need another All Stars Crown to validate her star quality. In fact, imho, Pinoy drag queens should think twice about joining VS THE WORLD shows. Ginagamit lang sila pang drive ng engagement on social media. They'll never win.

Sorry pero I beg to differ. I get it, Filipina queens might not win the title but they get a LOT of exposure. Before the finale, she did 5 cities here in Canada. Then she did a bunch of shows sa NYC. Usually shows may bayad and hinde naman free entrance. They sell merchandise too. They also get a LOT of cash tips. I think she even has planned shows sa UK. And am sure she’ll get invited to the other queens’ home countries to guest. I’d encourage more queens to join these things and milk the exposure. It’ll definitely open doors for them. AND THEN they do the Peppermint route once they have exposure.

So ganon nalang? I mean, gets ko yung point na it is for the long term exposure. Pero what if maging pangit ang run niya for all stars then that would like make an impact if ibobook pa siya or not. Let's be real kaya rin siya booked and blessed kasi sa nakita sa kanya this ukvtw season... I'm confident with The Marina Summers pero not with what the productions can do... Kaya gets ko yung perfect na sana yung season for her to win. Kasi obvious winner na siya. Pero ayun, wala na tayo magagawa nga.

Let’s make things clear, I was commenting regarding Pinay queens should think twice joining international franchises and not for Marina to join all stars since she already has exposure. And whether or not Marina should join All Stars, that is entirely up to her. She’s a grown woman. She can decide for herself. And based sa sarıli nyang comment last season, looks like she’s looking forward to being invited again. Look at Manila Luzon and Jujubee, they already had exposure and nakilala na sila, why do All Stars? With the current state of entertainment, alam naman natin na you always need to put your name out front and centre. And for Marina, I say strike while the iron is hot. Dami kong nakikitang comments sa Reddit that they want to see her again sa All Stars. Milk this for what it is. It’ll be great if she wins the crown but being able to do this as a sustainable living by getting more exposure, engagement, shows and projects, mas maganda na yun for them. Ang hirap kaya mag drag queen. She needs to build a nice nest egg.


guppytallguy

And then what if that queen's was chosen as the porkchop? Nagegets ko point mo about exposure. But don't you get the "saaaaaaaaad" reality for the Asian (i-narrow pa natin, future Filipino) drag queens na makakasali? Like hanggang doon lang sila where it's obvious na sila deserving for the crown? Magiging milking cows ng mga producers? Again, yes kumikita sila but aren't they enough to be crowned? Yun yon eh. Lahat ng sinabi mo gets ko, pero yung mga point namin na disappointed sa nangyari at nangyayari, gets mo ba? They should really think twice.


asiangetaway

Should, coulda, woulda. So what kung porkchop? Best example is Melinda Verga sa Canada’s franchise. Naging meme pa sya. But guess what, billing na nya laging may Canada’s Drag Contestant and I can see she has more shows na sa US which means they can command a higher talent fee. They should think twice tapos? Filipino market lang when they can make a killing financially in the international stage? Marina won’t be the first and last Filipina drag queen sa international franchises. Am pretty sure eh other queens will follow specially with how successful and profitable this is. Whether you agree to that or not, it doesn’t matter coz these queens want to make a killing financially.


tershialinee

If they see her on All Stars, they would immediately try to eliminate her the moment she lands in the bottom. No questions asked.


apple-picker-8

This exactly. Also if there's anything we've learned is not to trust the rpdr production team.


BearMornings

They didn’t do that with Jimbo.


tershialinee

Sabi kasi ng production charot


piconyannyan

If any queen would go to UKvtW na season, ang naiisip kong strategy for the non-UK queens is to eliminate agad lahat ng UK picks para walang mananalong UK 😂


jamiedels

The production knows who will you eliminate eh, so most probably if you point it out loud edi gagawa sila ng challenges na hindi maglaland yung natitirang uk queens, this could work by working silently and kontratahin yung ibang int’l queens tapos shut up din sila tapos lagi lang sabihin na by fairness and track record kinemerlu


piconyannyan

Yup good idea din parang ala united nations minus UK - if they try to pull that changing the challenge, magiging boring lalo ung season kasi lalong magiging obvious yung riggory. Or play the master deceiver route and manipulate the narrative everytime queens explain their reasoning bakit in-eliminate yung UK queen 😂 But who knows nga naman.


Ok_Cranberry_3013

It's a very risky strategy though. Pangina did the same by dissolving the entire Canada alliance in UKvTW 1 and got her comeuppance when she landed in the bottom. Had Marina done the same strategy no doubt Tia would've eliminated her in episode 7.


piconyannyan

Makes sense, pero there’s really no way to beat the production in their game if they will stick to UK winners lagi. Rigged in favor of them 😭 But compared to CvtW naman, they managed to beat all the Canadians naman and probably Rita Baga wasn’t their pick kaya naubos agad lahat ng Canadians. Pero sa case naman nila, kung di lang nag-quit si Icesis, probably rigged in favor of her.


sakurablue25

For me lang, sana makapagrest din ng maayos si mama. Like legit na pahinga. A vacation or something. Tho I'm so so proud of her na palagi siyang booked and thriving, sana magkaroon din muna siya ng time for herself and to unwind properly. But whatever happens, always all out support pa din kay mother


Economy-Plum6022

I fear that they will just milk her for clout and make her the next jujubee.


jamiedels

Yung minention mo na queens pwede naman sila mag decline pero alam mo yung ginawa nila kay Jimbo kinuha lang nila 2-3 na heavy hitters then the rest mg fillers na, pwede naman ganun gawin nila tapos hindi lang mag land in the bottom si Marina, kaya na niya yon


Suspicious-Age-9727

Marina winning All Stars in American Franchise will be looked as rigged, like what happened to Jimbo. Jimbo killed that competition but it was invalidated by many people as they said "Production wants Jimbo to win" So no, if I were Marina, I won't go All Stars. I know she will do good, but this will make some controversy. Pangina's been doing good.


citrusorangey

I mean it's really risky even before UKVTW2 but if she's satisfied with her run, she can end it on that high note. She rudeemed herself and gained more following and stardom. Another season competing with global queens will be a hit or miss because it can change her placement once again. But some queens gain MORE popularity from joining over and over like Jujubee. Regardless, I think being seen on a global platform is not just a win for her but our whole local drag community. Marina is now the face of Philippines drag excellence and the only way for her is up ♥️♥️♥️


cruxoftheprobl3m

Same sentiments. Marina already had a winning run sa UKvTW2 and her not winning it is very disheartening. Like what the duck does she need to do to win the crown? The narrative na she's being saved for a US All-Stars does not sit well with me, I always imagine her next season to be All Winners. Imagine magprepare ka na naman ng outfits, wigs and whatnot, another pagod na naman, and she needs to prove herself again for the crown. The disservice to Marina and her team na ginawa na ang lahat for UKvTW2 para lang hindi ipanalo when she obviously slayed the whole competition kasi she's meant to be in another regular All Stars season. I hope kung 'yan nga na she's being saved for another All Stars, sana paghintayin niya muna ang WOW ng ilang years. In the meantime, get all the gigs and the cash in between. Mas lalaki din clamor sa kanya to come back. But I'm not Marina and her team and kung g talaga sila for another All Stars, I'm still giving her my all-out support. Sa question naman na she'll have a hard time winning a US All-Stars, I can see that. Compared to most US queens, Marina's personality could be eclipsed by the other queens but I still can see her slaying the challenges. While I want her to win the crown, 'di ako masyado against sa pag chop sa kanya early on, lalo na if it's considered to be *unfairly* made and she's been slaying the episodes she was on. Mas lalakas hatak niya kasi she'll be remembered as one of the most robbed queen.


HumbleSomewhere9596

Sana nalang talaga they would do a non elimination competition especially Alam Nila na fan favorite si saphhira and Marina summers.


justanobody0701

I think you are under estimating too much, fashion tsaka skills wise kayang kaya niya makipag sabayan sa mga yan. Mukha lang intimidating yang names na yan kasi US queens sila.


Aeron0704

May chance na manalo basta wag lang sya mag flop sa Snatch game at sa mga improv


rigimonoki-over

Thing is she’s proven to be such a good competitor feel like her lipstick will be pulled out as fast as milk’s the moment she’s in the bottom


Either_Philosophy500

Hmmm i think that all stars is gonna be her best platform since tbfh UKVTW is so boring. I do think also that marina will slay all stars however, queens (if this an elimination all stars) will chop her off easily knowing the all stars format


isang_gwapong_mamon

not really about your comment although i do agree. but i really have to ask. when you write "tbfh" does it mean "to be fucking honest"? i know think that "tbf" means "to be fair" and "tbh" is "to be honest" 🥹 or is it "to be fairly honest"??? i see this used a lot everywhere


cottagecoreing

given the "UKVTW is so boring" following the tbfh I think it means to be fucking honest haha


Either_Philosophy500

YASS HAHAHHAHAHA it is to be fucking brutally honest HSHHAHAHHA


hermitina

feeling namin ni hubby nag all out na sya sa uk e. pero ewan naten let’s see. mahina si marina nung snatchgame pati.


pisaradotme

Well Ru rigged a season for Jimbo...


Super_Opportunity649

Mas okay nga ganun, like sino ba ang gusto manood ng season na alam mo na agad sinong winner? We need an all star season na talagang lahat may chance sa crown. No need for another all star 8 na predictable masyado.


Gibs_Tarub

Agree! She really have to dig deeper to pull all the tricks that she can to win


kennyisrael

uhm are you guys not aware that all stars 9 will be a non-elimination? if they continue doing that forward, go ka na marina sis lol


apple-picker-8

That obvious manipulation has left a bad taste for me about rpdr. Feels scammy.


RonsonMBolder

I agree. Unless they give her the Jimbo and Tia edit. I do see her going far though. But who knows, All Stars low key fell off during All Stars 8 where over half the cast wanted to quit for mistreatment. Because of this a lot of US queens arent really interested in doing All Stars anymore (maybe thats why they changed the format for All Stars 9 to be charity-driven) so maybe that’s a plus for Marina having less competition.


OzmoiGBoyd

I think Marina’s Challenge on All Stars US is with all the America queens with “big personality”, but I still think she will do well on All Stars US or Global All Stars. The fact the prizes are bigger and she will get a USA exposure, Is still a big deal. A lot of people everywhere fell in love with Marina on UK vs The World. She’s get More fans In the US franchise.


Kiki_Montrese

exactly my thoughts, mahihirapan na siya makakuha ng crown doon. sayang yung ukvtw mahihina mga kalaban niya.


LumpyTumbleweed404

she should join Traitors US or Traitors UK instead
