On January 18, Drag Den Season 2 Director Rod Singh, Miss Grand International 2016 first runner-up Nicole Cordoves, and social media influencer Sassa Gurl highlighted what was new in the second season of the drag reality show.
At the premiere night event of Drag Den Season 2 with Manila Luzon: Retribution, which LionhearTV covered, Singh remarked that the second season of the drag reality show features new rules, more drag artists, and ‘bigger’ celebrity guests.
“New rules, mapapanood ninyo na in a while, kung ano ‘yung mga binago. And mayroon tayong 10 drag artist, tapos siyempre we have bigger celebrity guests, drag enforcers, this time. At dahil ‘yun sa suporta na nakuha natin from Season 1.”
She then thanked those who supported the first season of Drag Den with Manila Luzon.
“So thank you po sa lahat ng sumuporta sa Drag Den Season 1. Because dahil sa inyo po, nagkaroon tayo ng Season 2 ng Drag Den. Hindi lang double, hindi lang triple, but quadruple of what we had before. So thank you, thank you so much.”
Cordoves emphasized the new and improved set for the second season of Drag Den.
“‘Yung Den, parang naging triple siya sa laki. So sobrang laki niya, kailangan mong mag-commute to the set. Pero kasi noong Season 1, isa lang siyang venue, so nakikita at nakaka-chika ko ‘yung mga queens, pero ngayon, dahil parang dalawa or parang tatlo ‘yung set namin na pinagsama-sama, hindi ko na sila masyadong nakaka-bonding.”
Sassa underscored the talent of the ten drag artists joining the drag reality show.
“Na-surprise oo, kasi talagang elevated pa din, parang akala ko, wala ng isu-surprise ‘yung last season. Pero nagulat ako, Oh my God, pasabog pa din pala. So talagang, I will vouch for this season, talented lahat ng mga queens. And challenge? Not much naman, kasi kayang-kaya nilang dalhin ‘yung mga sarili nila pasabog lahat. And ‘yun nga proud ako sa lahat na nabigay nila ‘yung ganong klaseng Season.”
As for Drag Den Season 2 with Manila Luzon: Retribution, follow the ten queens Deja, Elvira, Feyvah Fatale, Jean Vilogue, Margaux, Maria Lava, Marlyn, Moi, Mrs. Tan, and Russia Fox as they compete for the title of Drag Supreme.
