Marina Summers, Filipina drag queen, has reached the finals of “RuPaul’s Drag Race: UK vs the World” Season 2. In the latest episode, which aired on Saturday, the remaining five queens were challenged to participate in a comedy roast titled “Michelle and Graham Haters Wedding Roast”.
While Marina received positive feedback, Tia Kofi and Hannah Conda stood out as the top performers of the week. Michelle Visage commented on Marina’s performance in the roast, noting that when her timing was on point, she captivated the audience, although there were moments when jokes didn’t quite land. Overall, Visage appreciated Marina’s energy and performance.
“What I really liked was when things didn’t land, you knew we would laugh at you doing your little kind of runway thing. I love that it was so shameless,” Graham Norton added.
“There was a confidence there. You know, there were times when you faltered but, you know, if you were to get a second chance, I could tell that you would nail it,” RuPaul said.
Tia and Hannah competed in a lip sync battle performing “Euphoria” by Loreen, with Hannah emerging as the winner and earning her badge. Hannah then selected Scarlet Envy to be eliminated, placing 5th in the competition, while Marina and La Grande Dame advanced to the finals.
Marina made history as the first drag queen from the Philippine franchise to participate in an international edition of the popular reality competition. She previously finished as the runner-up to Precious Paula Nicole in Season 1 of “Drag Race Philippines,” which aired in 2022.
“Drag Race Philippines” has been renewed for a third season, alongside the Thai and French franchises.
