Tita Baby was the first queen chosen in the roulette and she picked Myx Chanel as her opponent.

Angel was next in the battle and she chose her close friend Khianna and the performed with the song "Loka Loka" by Queen Manica Money. The former won in the battle.

Zymba Ding and Maxie were the last face each other with "Hush" by Yassi Pressman and Nadine Lustre with the latter being safe from elimination.

In a twist, the winners of the lipsync will have the power to save a queen from elimination with the "Golden Balut."

Khianna's speech on representing the regional queens was enough to keep the queen safe for another week.

"Ako, ako lang 'to, gusto ko lang patunayan sa  mundo na kaya ko na kaya ko, na matulungan ko family ko," Khianna said.

"Kung anuman desisyon niyo, nire-respeto ko 'yun, kayo tatlong winners, sana tama 'yung desisyon na gagawin mo," she added.

Zymba Ding and Myx Chanel landed in the bottom and had a lip sync battle to "Ligaw Tingin" by Leah Navarro with the latter ending her journey in 6th place.
