Boy Abunda's 'Drag Race Philippines' judging style draws flak

MANILA, Philippines — Social media users criticized TV host Boy Abunda's style as one of the judges in the season finale of "Drag Race Philippines."

Minty Fresh failed to get into the final four spot in the contest, making Marina Summers, Eva Le Queen, Precious Paula Nicole and Xilhouette as the finalists. 

Boy felt Minty let others steal the limelight from her. 

"You’re beautiful but I needed to see how you celebrated that. Sabi ko, ba’t hindi niya mayakap ‘yun. I don’t think you should allow anybody to steal that from you," he said. 

Here are Twitter users' reactions to Boy's judging in the show, including to the words he used and to his side comments:

Dati when I see Boy Abunda I would always think of the Buzz and how good he is as a host. But when I saw him sa #DragRacePhilippines , all I can think of is how he is now an enabler of you know who and what. pic.twitter.com/wm3gAVMTLz

boy abunda using highfalutin words and lofty language to compensate his inability to get straight to the point LOL sounding smart is not synonymous to being correct. it only makes you look like you just discovered thesaurus minutes ago so you depend your life on it #DragRacePH

Boy Abunda studied communication but was not able to take courses with relation to substance, depth and relevance. And it was shown in #DragRacePH just like his president, trying hard to sound eloquent pero walang sustansya ang sinasabi. Sorry not sorry tito boy. Sashay away.
