00:00:00The winner of Canada's Drag Race, Canada vs. the World, receives the pleasure of $100,000 thanks to Trojan.
00:00:11With Tracy Melshore, Brad Goreski, and Brooklyn Heights.
00:00:16With tonight's extra special guest judge, Charlotte Cardin.
00:00:30Hey everybody, it's your BAM queen Alexis Mateo from RuPaul's Drag Race Season 3, All Stars 1, and All Stars 5.
00:00:45And I think it's time to skip all the way to the honeymoon.
00:00:48Canada, I do.
00:00:51I'm here to remind everybody, I should have won four times by now.
00:00:55I am an iconic queen, I'm a legendary queen.
00:00:58BAM! BAM! Incredible.
00:01:01Welcome to Canada's Drag Race, Canada vs. the World.
00:01:05I'm your host, Alexis Mateo. Just kidding, let me not fuck with that.
00:01:09I'm gonna be the first Puerto Rican with a clown, bitch.
00:01:12These flowers are as fake as these girls are about to walk in here.
00:01:17Sending the clowns, baby, sending the clowns.
00:01:20Oh, what is that?
00:01:25Oh, come on, legs.
00:01:28Oh, shit.
00:01:32Hello, divas. I'm Cheryl, and I am back to leave mediocre in the past.
00:01:38Fuck me, it's cold here.
00:01:41On Drag Race UK Season 1, I snuck my way into the top four.
00:01:46See you in Essex, bye!
00:01:48And on UK vs. the World, I went home second.
00:01:51It's very on brand, no badger sheds once again.
00:01:56It's a new chapter in my life now, it's a renaissance of Cheryl.
00:02:00I've got the comedy chops, I've got the performance down.
00:02:03I'm not here to win Miss Congeniality again.
00:02:06Oh, my, what are you doing here?
00:02:09Hey, baby.
00:02:11Alexis is an absolute legend.
00:02:14The competition has really begun.
00:02:17Thank you for coming to my wedding.
00:02:19Oh, so am I the bride's mate.
00:02:21Cheryl's entrance look is mediocre.
00:02:24Very on brand.
00:02:25Yes, girl, keep being mediocre.
00:02:29It's Canada vs. the World.
00:02:31Where the hell are the Canadians?
00:02:32I don't know, but if they don't come, it's okay with me.
00:02:35Yep, that's fine by me, too.
00:02:38Oh, no, what is this?
00:02:44What?
00:02:46Let's make it about Canadians.
00:02:49I am Tynomi Banks.
00:02:51I am her, I am she.
00:02:53Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
00:02:55Hate me because you're not.
00:02:57Ooh.
00:02:59On season one of Canada's Drag Race, I was eliminated fourth.
00:03:02Looking back at all my looks now, I was like, yeah, girl.
00:03:07I needed to step it up.
00:03:09Do I have something to prove?
00:03:10No, I have something to show.
00:03:12Hello.
00:03:13Hi.
00:03:15How you doing?
00:03:17The season one divas are here.
00:03:19I know Tynomi from Puerto Vallarta.
00:03:22We both headline shows down there.
00:03:24I'm so happy you're here.
00:03:25Yes, I'm excited you're here.
00:03:26I'm surprised, too.
00:03:27She has grown so much.
00:03:29She's such a fierce entertainer, so I know she's going to do amazing.
00:03:32Well, we're on your turf.
00:03:33How's it feel being back?
00:03:34Feels like a blessing.
00:03:35Four years.
00:03:36Four years it's been.
00:03:38Thank you for keeping track of time.
00:03:40The differences between my drag back then and now is like night and day.
00:03:44I've been in international campaigns.
00:03:46I've been on a Super Bowl ad.
00:03:48And I am traveling the world with Nelly Furtado as a backup dancer.
00:03:52I think Priyanka's jealous a little bit.
00:03:54Don't quote me on that, though.
00:03:58Oh, my God.
00:03:59I know exactly who this is.
00:04:00Who is it?
00:04:04I knew it.
00:04:05I knew it.
00:04:07Hello, world.
00:04:08Your favorite Chinese Yorkshireman is back.
00:04:11I'm the Phil, and I'm from Drag Race UK Season 4.
00:04:14Did someone order a refill?
00:04:16Because I flew next day.
00:04:17Delivery to come.
00:04:18Phil, you are.
00:04:21I'm known for winning the Girl Group Challenge
00:04:23and also for my high-fashion, arty, conceptual runways.
00:04:27My pronouns are he, him, and they in and out of drag
00:04:29because my drag isn't about emulating a woman.
00:04:32It's about being as feminine as I can being a man.
00:04:35Since Drag Race UK Season 4, I have been releasing music,
00:04:39performed with international pop stars like Spice Girls, Mel C.
00:04:42Last time, I only made it halfway.
00:04:44This time, I am here to the end.
00:04:52What's your name?
00:04:53I'm Cheryl, lovely to see you.
00:04:55You're my stalker.
00:04:57I love Cheryl.
00:04:58It's so nice to see a UK sister here with me.
00:05:00We are friends, so this is going to be an interesting ride
00:05:04when I kick her out.
00:05:06You're a legend, babe.
00:05:08You don't say that.
00:05:09We are legends.
00:05:10Call her old.
00:05:12Oh, my God, the balloon look is awesome.
00:05:15If I see you levitating a little bit...
00:05:17You can grab my ankles.
00:05:19Thanks for bringing the decorations to my wedding, girl.
00:05:26What is going on?
00:05:28It's giving Jimbo a little bit.
00:05:29Stop it. No more Jimbo.
00:05:38Oh, my God.
00:05:40Hi, I'm Kennedy Davenport.
00:05:42You know me from RuPaul's Drag Race Season 7,
00:05:45and I almost won All Stars 3.
00:05:48Newark, LaGuardia, I've been international.
00:05:55Shut up.
00:05:56Kennedy Davenport is best known for her dancing.
00:05:59Of course, I'm a pageant queen.
00:06:01I'm energetic, I'm full of fire.
00:06:03Nobody can do what I do.
00:06:05I think the proof is in the pudding
00:06:07when it comes to Kennedy Davenport,
00:06:09and I've proven to be the dancing diva
00:06:12of the motherfucking world, honey.
00:06:15Since you last saw me ages ago,
00:06:18I'm derping on the move.
00:06:20I've been on Drag Race Live,
00:06:22and I've won a couple of titles.
00:06:24You know the pageant queen, gotta keep her status.
00:06:26I just feel like anybody that came as close as I did to win
00:06:31definitely deserve a second chance.
00:06:34Oh, Miss Iconic Kennedy is giving me
00:06:38black girl excellence, black girl power.
00:06:41Kennedy, you're an icon, so I can't believe you're here.
00:06:44I'm excited to be here and to learn all the new queens
00:06:47because I showed and watched all seasons.
00:06:50I do know Alexis.
00:06:52Everybody else, I have no clue who they are.
00:06:55That's not a read.
00:06:57You're an inspiration for someone else.
00:07:01Oh!
00:07:09Oh!
00:07:11Salaam alaikum, world. I'm Nakahena,
00:07:13and I cannot do worse than the first time around,
00:07:16so let's go!
00:07:18En anglais, s'il vous plaît.
00:07:20Oh, in English, please.
00:07:23I'm born and raised in Tunisia,
00:07:26I'm born and raised in Tunisia,
00:07:29and now I live in Paris.
00:07:31I'm best known for being the first ever workshop
00:07:34from Drag Race France.
00:07:36My entrance look, I lighted myself on fire.
00:07:39I use fire in my shows a lot.
00:07:42It's also linked to my character history.
00:07:44Nakahena is a real queen who lived in North Africa
00:07:47a long time ago.
00:07:49Nakahena, sachez, c'est terminé.
00:07:51My experience on Drag Race France
00:07:54was 20 minutes of happiness.
00:07:57Bonjour!
00:07:59I don't know your name.
00:08:01Nice to meet you.
00:08:03We got a full international buffet right here.
00:08:06Oh, like for real, huh?
00:08:08Drag Race changed my life for the better.
00:08:10Being received so well by the fans,
00:08:12especially the young queer Arabs,
00:08:14you haven't seen nothing of me yet, literally.
00:08:17How was your time in your season?
00:08:19Short.
00:08:22Oh, we got a note.
00:08:24Somebody got a purse.
00:08:25Oh, my God.
00:08:26I recognize that struggly, wet piece of dog hair.
00:08:29I know who it is.
00:08:35Oh, for fuck's sake!
00:08:37I'm back. Did you miss me?
00:08:39I'm Miss Piercealicious from Canada's Drag Race,
00:08:41season three, fourth place,
00:08:44and I'm international.
00:08:46Surprise, bitch.
00:08:47Bet you thought you could last with a prolapse dress.
00:08:49At the beginning of the competition,
00:08:50I wasn't very sure of myself.
00:08:52I let a few saboteurs like Vivian get the best of me.
00:08:56Seems like sabotage. Feels like sabotage.
00:08:58If the saboteur wants to get out of my way.
00:09:00Once I finally found who I was,
00:09:02I started winning challenges.
00:09:03By the end of the competition,
00:09:05I was the front-runner of the season,
00:09:07but didn't win.
00:09:08Since Canada's Drag Race,
00:09:09I've gone to perform all across the world.
00:09:12I even won a Wowie Award for Best Twitter.
00:09:15Wowie.
00:09:18I can't believe she kept that dress.
00:09:20You best believe it.
00:09:21Everyone loves a prolapse dress.
00:09:23Like, come on. Admit it.
00:09:25You can come say hi now.
00:09:28Hello.
00:09:30Hi, baby.
00:09:31Hi.
00:09:32You look stunning.
00:09:33Let me see this.
00:09:34Do you have a Wowie?
00:09:35No, I only have Emmys.
00:09:36Oh.
00:09:37I'm going to win Canada versus the world,
00:09:39and there's absolutely nothing that can stop me.
00:09:41Miss Forthalicious is about to become Miss Firstalicious.
00:09:45Nice to meet you.
00:09:46Nice to meet you again.
00:09:47Miss Firstalicious and me have known each other for years.
00:09:50She's always trying my patience.
00:09:53She's like a cousin that bothers me.
00:09:55I have to see them just at Christmas.
00:09:56Did you change this?
00:09:57No.
00:09:58Not at all?
00:09:59I left the thread.
00:10:00I left the hot glue.
00:10:02I don't know anything about this dress,
00:10:04but choices.
00:10:10Oh, we got another one.
00:10:17No.
00:10:18Ooh.
00:10:20Hey, kids.
00:10:21It's Eureka here.
00:10:22Surprise, surprise.
00:10:24I've done a little bit of everything on Drag Race
00:10:26except win, but I'm hoping it changes out this season.
00:10:30Ooh.
00:10:31Oh.
00:10:32Serving body, suit.
00:10:34If you got a body, put a fucking suit on it.
00:10:36Okay?
00:10:37You all know me from RuPaul's Drag Race Season 9.
00:10:40Honey, wear a bitch heart herself.
00:10:42You need time to heal.
00:10:44I will not allow you to continue in the competition.
00:10:48But I came back on Season 10 and was a lovely...
00:10:51I won, I win!
00:10:53...first alternate.
00:10:54No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:10:56And then I came back to All-Star 6
00:10:58where I was a lovely...
00:11:01alternate.
00:11:03Since I was on RuPaul's Drag Race,
00:11:04my life has changed exponentially.
00:11:07I'm living more authentically as myself
00:11:09in my trans existence.
00:11:11I'm here because I have changed a lot as a person,
00:11:15but also because I'm the best at what I do.
00:11:18And honestly, you want it to be a good season, don't you?
00:11:22Hey, bitches!
00:11:25Yurika's made the final twice.
00:11:27You know she's going for the gold.
00:11:29Okay, so in terms of fairness,
00:11:30it should be someone from the U.K. or Canada to win,
00:11:32I think, this time.
00:11:33Okay.
00:11:34I think Canada,
00:11:35because it's Canada versus the world.
00:11:37Yeah, but it's versus the world.
00:11:38It's not Canada's Drag Race.
00:11:40There's more Americans than Canadians.
00:11:42There has to be another Canadian.
00:11:44Oh, we got another one.
00:11:46Ooh!
00:11:47Okay.
00:11:52Oh!
00:11:55Honey, I'm home!
00:11:59Hi, I'm Lemon,
00:12:00and bitch, you know where I'm from.
00:12:02It's time to fulfill my zestiny.
00:12:06I was on the OG season of Canada's Drag Race.
00:12:10The only thing you're fucking is stupid.
00:12:13I made it all the way to the top five.
00:12:15I won two maxi challenges,
00:12:17which accumulates to I won the whole season.
00:12:20And then I was on RuPaul's Drag Race
00:12:22U.K. versus the world for about four minutes.
00:12:25And now I am back, round three.
00:12:27Third time is the charm.
00:12:29That crown is mine.
00:12:31Hi!
00:12:33Oh, my God!
00:12:34I am here to prove that the last time was a fluke
00:12:38and that I'm a winner.
00:12:39Life literally gave me lemons,
00:12:41so I am here to make my lemonade.
00:12:44It's so good to see almost everyone bringing their best.
00:12:48This is my best.
00:12:50I think the other queens are slightly happy to see me
00:12:53and slightly pissed that I'm here.
00:12:55But you know what?
00:12:56Live, laugh, lem.
00:12:57I have to say the competition is looking really, really fierce.
00:13:01Thank you.
00:13:02But last time,
00:13:03I also thought the competition looked really fierce,
00:13:06and it was.
00:13:07Oh, my God.
00:13:09So anything could happen, girl.
00:13:12Well, well, well.
00:13:15Look what the moose dragged in.
00:13:18Ooh, bitch, that's gay trade.
00:13:20Mama, that is the gayest trade I've ever seen.
00:13:23Girl, I didn't think I was into women.
00:13:25Bonjour. Hi, queens.
00:13:27Hello.
00:13:28Yes, bitch.
00:13:29Welcome to Canada's Drag Race.
00:13:31Canada versus the world.
00:13:33Yes, baby.
00:13:35You've come from near, far,
00:13:37but wherever you are,
00:13:39you're always global frickin' phenomenons.
00:13:42Period.
00:13:43And soon, one of you will walk away
00:13:45with the title of queen of the mother-pucking world.
00:13:49And from Trojan,
00:13:51the pleasure of $100,000.
00:13:56Oh, money.
00:13:57Finally.
00:13:58A competition where I can actually win money.
00:14:01No more batting.
00:14:02Money.
00:14:03However, there is one more queen joining us this season.
00:14:07Ooh.
00:14:08Ten queens?
00:14:10If that's panchina, I'm going home.
00:14:12Book the flight.
00:14:13Ain't nobody got time for that.
00:14:14Like, no.
00:14:15We just walked in, and there's a twist.
00:14:17Who is it?
00:14:18Rubio yourself already?
00:14:23Oh.
00:14:25No.
00:14:27Ah!
00:14:29It is the motherfucking golden beaver.
00:14:34Girl, that all-stars face looks good.
00:14:38The golden beaver has gotten a makeover.
00:14:40She has a literal glow-up.
00:14:42She is finally golden.
00:14:45On our turf, you play by our rules.
00:14:48What is that?
00:14:49What is going on with this beaver?
00:14:51Is this...
00:14:52This is what Canada's doing?
00:14:54Each week, the winner of the Maxi Challenge
00:14:56will earn the power to save one of the bottom queens
00:14:59from lip-syncing for their lives.
00:15:02Ooh, okay.
00:15:04Honestly, the beaver switches things up, y'all,
00:15:06because I assumed it was going to be lip-sync for the win,
00:15:10and now it's lip-sync for your life.
00:15:13That changes the game.
00:15:14Now let's kick off this international showdown, shall we?
00:15:17Yes!
00:15:19For our premier Maxi Challenge,
00:15:21we want you to split up and form global girl groups.
00:15:25Each group will perform a song
00:15:27off the new Canada vs. the World EP, Drag Pop.
00:15:31Now, it's no secret that I absolutely love girl groups.
00:15:34It is my biggest passion.
00:15:36You will choose from one of these songs.
00:15:39Opulence, an upbeat anthem about celebrating the opulence
00:15:43that comes with being a drag phenomenon.
00:15:47Funk Pop, an in-your-face clapback directed at the haters.
00:15:51And finally, this beat, a slickening club track
00:15:55all about serving face and beauty.
00:15:58I will draw names, and once called, you will select a song.
00:16:02Oh, my gosh, you get to choose.
00:16:04Only three queens per song,
00:16:06so choose your track and teammates carefully.
00:16:11Choosing the right team is absolutely crucial.
00:16:13This is a team's challenge,
00:16:14and you have to be able to work with these people,
00:16:16so if I pick the wrong team, this could be the end.
00:16:19All right, our first queen to pick is Lefil.
00:16:22Hey!
00:16:24Ooh, fast.
00:16:25That's a lot of pressure.
00:16:26This is really good because I get to pick whatever song I want,
00:16:29but the downside is I don't get to choose my team members.
00:16:32Hopefully, the good ones can flop to me.
00:16:35I think I'm gonna go with my beat
00:16:38and go this one.
00:16:40Hey!
00:16:41All right, next up...
00:16:44From the house of Davenport...
00:16:47Kennedy Davenport!
00:16:49I'm thinking I want Trunk Pop.
00:16:52I don't care who comes with me.
00:16:57Up next, La Kahanna.
00:16:59Ooh!
00:17:01My strategy is Kennedy Davenport is already there.
00:17:04She's a dancing diva. Don't go in her group.
00:17:07Not Kennedy.
00:17:10I'm the first one to choose Bob Dylan's.
00:17:12Now we just have to find out who's gonna be on my team.
00:17:15Cheryl!
00:17:17Oh!
00:17:18Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
00:17:20who's gonna get me to the top?
00:17:22Kennedy.
00:17:23Tongue pop.
00:17:24All right!
00:17:28Tainomi Banks.
00:17:29Oh, come on!
00:17:31You know, you just look at someone and you're just like,
00:17:33oh, they're really amazing.
00:17:35Lefil, I just like their energy.
00:17:38Hey!
00:17:39She knew exactly where she was going.
00:17:41Lefil.
00:17:44Eureka!
00:17:45Oh, you found it!
00:17:47I want to do tongue pop.
00:17:49If I'm with Kennedy, like, we'll really turn it
00:17:51and it'll be such a dancing moment.
00:17:53But then I just look over and see La Kahanna
00:17:55and for some reason I just was like, I want to be her friend.
00:17:57Sis, I'm gonna hit up with you with Bob Dylan's sister.
00:18:00She's from France. I think she's from the most foreign place.
00:18:03This is not her first language.
00:18:05I want to help make her feel comfortable.
00:18:07I'm a big mama. I can't help it.
00:18:10Something sour.
00:18:11Lemon.
00:18:13Ooh, they're all good, but I'm gonna hit the tongue pop, OK?
00:18:17Come on, team tongue pop.
00:18:19I've worked with both of them before.
00:18:21I know they're both sickening dancers.
00:18:23Ooh, honey.
00:18:24Ooh, that's a teeth.
00:18:25This is it.
00:18:29Oh, my God, just two spots left.
00:18:31If Fearlicious get called next and pick Bopulence,
00:18:36I'm going to be over it.
00:18:39I just want her to come home, Alexis Mateo.
00:18:42Yes.
00:18:43Finally.
00:18:44I'm gonna go with Bopulence.
00:18:46Hey! OK, sis.
00:18:48I already know what I'm gonna get with Eureka.
00:18:50Let's see if our sister, La Kahanna, fit in.
00:18:54I'm standing beside legends.
00:18:56I know I need to work my ass off.
00:18:59And who could this be?
00:19:00Who could it possibly be?
00:19:02Of course, I'm picked last.
00:19:04And the sabotage begins on day one.
00:19:07I think I'm gonna go with this B.
00:19:10That's right, bitch.
00:19:11I mean, she is B.
00:19:13All right, well, here we are.
00:19:14We have our girl groups.
00:19:16Hey!
00:19:17Y'all ready to pop off?
00:19:19Yeah!
00:19:20Racers, start your engines.
00:19:24And may the best pop girlies win!
00:19:27Yeah!
00:19:33Oh, my God.
00:19:34Wait, what?
00:19:35Oh, wow.
00:19:36Look at this.
00:19:37Workroom, come on.
00:19:38You weren't joking when they said it was big.
00:19:40Pinch me now.
00:19:41I can't believe I'm actually here in Canada.
00:19:44Oh, I'm so happy.
00:19:47I know Cheryl very well.
00:19:49We were not only on UK vs. Canada,
00:19:52but we were also on the UK vs. Canada.
00:19:55We were on the UK vs. Canada,
00:19:57but we were also on the UK vs. Canada.
00:20:00We were not only on UK vs. The World Season 1 together,
00:20:03but also we have toured together.
00:20:05It's gonna be so fun.
00:20:06You came to my home, and now I'm in yours.
00:20:08Now you're at my house.
00:20:09I call this bitch Chez, I call her sister,
00:20:11and I call her bitch, okay?
00:20:13I'm going here.
00:20:14Come on, Alexis.
00:20:15I'm coming.
00:20:17All right, come here.
00:20:18The Canadian's over here.
00:20:19It's immediately going into clicks.
00:20:21You know, I know it's gonna be Kennedy and Alexis.
00:20:24Oh, we got, like, a little apartment.
00:20:26The Canadian girls are immediately running to each other.
00:20:29Welcome!
00:20:32Welcome home.
00:20:33She's not home, Eureka.
00:20:35Okay, Hannah grabbed my hand, and she was ready, bitch.
00:20:37And I was like, sis, we in this together.
00:20:39Are they both in the UK?
00:20:40Yep.
00:20:41Okay, and then these two are the US.
00:20:42And you're the only...
00:20:43We're the only girls there.
00:20:45Girl, fuck these hoes.
00:20:46They so basic.
00:20:47Ladies, how do you guys feel about starting a Canadian alliance?
00:20:51A Canadian alliance?
00:20:53Say it louder.
00:20:56I don't like the word alliance.
00:20:58I'm not here to play some social game.
00:21:00I'm here to be a fucking good drag queen.
00:21:02Last time, I was like, I want to be friends with everyone,
00:21:05and then nobody had my back.
00:21:07I have your back.
00:21:08I mean, I know you have my back.
00:21:11I'm definitely going to try to stay true to my Canadian alliance
00:21:14because I want the Canadians to do well.
00:21:17Is it an alliance?
00:21:18Is it not an alliance?
00:21:20I don't know, but I do know that there's been a Canadian fucking curse.
00:21:24The Canadian always goes home first.
00:21:25We have to...
00:21:26Break that curse.
00:21:27I'm over it, and I can't believe I started it.
00:21:29That's my bad.
00:21:30If I have to work with the Canadians to make sure none of us go home first,
00:21:34I'll do it.
00:21:35Oh, can I take this off the jeans?
00:21:38Kennedy and I are very good friends, very good sisters.
00:21:41I am gagging with this.
00:21:43Of course, I'm moving in with her.
00:21:44She's my good roommate.
00:21:46She's never late with rent.
00:21:48The retirement home is there.
00:21:50The retirement home.
00:21:52Okay, so now I know who the shady girl is, thank God.
00:21:54Well, keep me entertained, please.
00:21:56Please.
00:22:02Wait, they've got actual helium in.
00:22:03Yeah.
00:22:04I'm snapped up in here.
00:22:06Oh, my God.
00:22:07Oh, my God.
00:22:08Sabotage happens already.
00:22:11I'm the queen of the motherfucking world.
00:22:14D-Dragging feels so good.
00:22:18I did not bring underwear or socks.
00:22:22Would you say that's because you're stupid or forgetful?
00:22:24So...
00:22:31I'm looking around this workroom and everybody's getting out of drag,
00:22:34and I'm realizing we've got some hot people here.
00:22:38Oh, I hate that.
00:22:39I hate when people say that.
00:22:41I'm realizing there's some charade in this room.
00:22:45Mmm, yummy, yummy.
00:22:47You can't use any of that.
00:22:49You can't use any of that.
00:22:51You look cute.
00:22:52You look like a feather.
00:22:55She said, you look like a...
00:22:57Oh, my God.
00:22:59Canada.
00:23:03Bonjour, lady king.
00:23:05Hi, girl.
00:23:06Welcome to Canada.
00:23:07Bonjour.
00:23:08You come from all around the world,
00:23:10but only one global phenomenon can be that girl.
00:23:15So let your charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent slay,
00:23:19and you'll be the queen of the motherfucking world.
00:23:23Eh?
00:23:24Eh.
00:23:25Eh.
00:23:26You know, fucking is for eye-talking.
00:23:29She's telling the Canadians.
00:23:31Just a little bit.
00:23:32Just a little bit.
00:23:36Girl, for this week's maxi-challenge,
00:23:37we gotta write a single for Canada Drag Race's new EP.
00:23:41They fancy now.
00:23:43All three of these songs have completely different themes.
00:23:47I'm not gonna lie, I want to tug pop
00:23:50because, like, I just relate to that song more.
00:23:52Like, I have a lot of haters.
00:23:54And I'm a hateful person.
00:23:55Yeah, yeah.
00:23:56But I do have a beat phase.
00:23:59Well, that's what I was gonna say.
00:24:00Gorgeous mug.
00:24:01This beat is about serving a slickening face,
00:24:03and I've got one of those.
00:24:04So, yeah, this song's for me.
00:24:06At least, like, we got the song
00:24:07and it wasn't, like, one of the ugly girls, like, ever.
00:24:09It's so polite.
00:24:11They would not be mean.
00:24:12I've never worked with Fizz,
00:24:14but I definitely have watched her,
00:24:16and I'm intrigued to see how this turns out.
00:24:18How do you guys feel about a girl group challenge?
00:24:21I love them.
00:24:22I really like them.
00:24:23You were on the bottom, weren't you?
00:24:24Yeah, but I think I was sabotaged.
00:24:26Yeah.
00:24:28By who?
00:24:29By life.
00:24:31I'm definitely looking for redemption
00:24:32in this girl group challenge.
00:24:33So, who do you think is competition?
00:24:35Definitely Lemon.
00:24:36Yeah.
00:24:37Definitely, literally, I swear.
00:24:38Yeah, because she's the rapstress.
00:24:40That's what she's called?
00:24:41She's, like, yeah.
00:24:42This is, like, her gig.
00:24:44I love writing.
00:24:45I wrote my entire album myself,
00:24:47so I feel very comfortable writing a verse.
00:24:50No, I ain't got beef,
00:24:51because I don't eat meat,
00:24:52but still, I'd never let a fake bitch fuck with me.
00:24:55Oh, my God, I love that you said beef,
00:24:57because I wrote,
00:24:59pop and pout and kiss your teeth,
00:25:01call me a cow, because I've got beef.
00:25:03Obsessed.
00:25:04Tongue pop is a clapback to the haters,
00:25:06which I don't really understand,
00:25:08because everybody loves me.
00:25:11Everyone who goes on Drag Race,
00:25:13we all get a fuckload of haters
00:25:15and a lot of mean comments,
00:25:16and it's, like, to be able to
00:25:18kind of think about those comments
00:25:20while we're doing this,
00:25:21I feel like we'll light that fire.
00:25:23Group name.
00:25:24We have to come up with a name?
00:25:25Yeah.
00:25:26Alexis Mateo and the girls.
00:25:28No!
00:25:29Oh, Alexis and the rest of the girls.
00:25:33I'm actually being serious with Alexis and the rest.
00:25:36It should have not even been Canada versus the world.
00:25:39It should have been Alexis and the rest of the girls.
00:25:44How about Just Divas?
00:25:47Just Divas, let's do Just Divas.
00:25:49Just Divas present Bopulence.
00:25:52Bopulence.
00:25:53Opulence is very me.
00:25:54That's why I picked it.
00:25:55I was like, I'm very that.
00:25:57We were supposed to write about opulence,
00:25:59but honestly, I just wanted to write about me.
00:26:02I think my journey in drag has been legendary,
00:26:05and I want everybody to know who I am,
00:26:08where I come from, and my style of drag.
00:26:10And I would like to incorporate some Spanish too.
00:26:13Oh, you definitely should.
00:26:14I think I'm going to write a lot in French.
00:26:17I'd love that.
00:26:18I speak three languages, and why not put them in my lyrics?
00:26:21And that's my culture as well.
00:26:23My lyrics are about the French opulence.
00:26:26Paris, Versailles, oui, oui, oui.
00:26:29I love that all three of our verses have a piece of who we are
00:26:32and where we come from.
00:26:33You know, we've got the French, the Spanish,
00:26:35the country's fucked.
00:26:37We're all three bringing something uniquely us,
00:26:40so I feel good.
00:26:41So what's your name? What's your group name?
00:26:43The Slapbacks.
00:26:44Good luck, y'all, for real. The Slapbacks.
00:26:46Oh, we don't need it.
00:26:47Goodbye, the D.
00:26:48Oh, I don't mean like, good luck.
00:26:50I mean like, trip and fall.
00:26:54Watch your knee, Eureka.
00:26:56Lemonade just tried to come for me.
00:27:00Okay, here we go.
00:27:03We show up on stage and I'm a choreographer.
00:27:05Bro, why not make us responsible choreographers too?
00:27:08Mama needs a break sometimes.
00:27:10You probably have the most experience doing like,
00:27:12pie dancing, choreographing talent.
00:27:14Right.
00:27:15So I'm cool with you taking the lead.
00:27:16Okay, cool.
00:27:17I am nominated to be the choreographer of the group.
00:27:19Of course.
00:27:20I don't mind taking the lead.
00:27:22I don't know how your skills in dance are.
00:27:25Let's put it at the lowest point possible
00:27:27so we can get surprised.
00:27:28Oh, shit.
00:27:30I'm no dancer.
00:27:31Standing next to two fucking good dancers.
00:27:35Oh, pop your lens.
00:27:37Oh, I don't dance.
00:27:38Oh, I cannot do this.
00:27:40It's kind of challenging because it limits you.
00:27:43And then we're going to pivot.
00:27:44You guys know what a pivot is, right?
00:27:46But of course, I'm going to be a nice girl
00:27:48and I'm going to put my level down
00:27:50so we all can blend together in our group.
00:27:53Oh, sorry, one more time.
00:27:54I don't fuck it up.
00:27:56Walk, walk, walk, and pose.
00:27:59Pose.
00:28:00Oh, yeah.
00:28:01Pose.
00:28:02Oh.
00:28:03Walk, walk.
00:28:04Okay, I'm behind.
00:28:05Pivot.
00:28:06Oh, that's what I need to figure out.
00:28:08One, two, booty, cross, open, up.
00:28:12Oh, you're a dancer.
00:28:13So you're lying to us.
00:28:15That's a technique.
00:28:16Maybe, maybe.
00:28:17You're worried that she, I don't have it.
00:28:19You got it.
00:28:20I don't.
00:28:21Let's do it again.
00:28:22Eureka, shut up and get it together, please.
00:28:24I just need to remember the order of everything.
00:28:26Try your best.
00:28:28Okay.
00:28:29Girl, I'm worried as fuck.
00:28:31I'm scared to death after this little choreo session.
00:28:33Plus, my feet hurt, my back hurt, my titties hurt.
00:28:36This is hard.
00:28:37Don't you love those beats?
00:28:40I'm taking the lead in choreography for my group
00:28:42because I think I've got the people skills
00:28:44to be able to work with fierce.
00:28:47This is all about the beats,
00:28:48so let's use something with our face,
00:28:50like this for this beat, all right?
00:28:52Yeah, I like that.
00:28:53I love the fact that LaFeel has this calming
00:28:57but dominant energy and personality.
00:28:59It's giving glam and it strokes your leg up your ass.
00:29:04You look so good.
00:29:05I know.
00:29:06I'm not going to compliment you anymore.
00:29:08I've been taking dance classes.
00:29:09I've been performing more.
00:29:10I feel a lot more confident on stage,
00:29:12so I hope that shows during this challenge.
00:29:14I love Fierce Alicious, but she's not a dancer.
00:29:17She's a very improved dancer, but she's not a dancer.
00:29:20Can we do this?
00:29:23What were you doing differently?
00:29:24What was the move?
00:29:25What was the move for that one?
00:29:26Oh, wait, that is what we do.
00:29:27Yeah, that is what we do.
00:29:28Fierce is trying to listen.
00:29:31Time is ticking, and we've got so many verses to go through,
00:29:34so we can't afford any distractions.
00:29:36We've got a competition to win here.
00:29:38We need to pull it together.
00:29:39I'm sweating now.
00:29:40I'm not.
00:29:41I'm so ready.
00:29:42Okay.
00:29:43I'm so ready, too.
00:29:44You got something?
00:29:46All three of us are dancers,
00:29:48so I feel like none of us kind of want to take the lead spot
00:29:51and be like, let me do it,
00:29:52but also all three of us want to be like, let me do it.
00:29:56I feel like we need to think of, like, a cute, strong,
00:29:58like, visual opening.
00:30:00We do the chorus on the back, and I can bring us to the front.
00:30:03We break apart.
00:30:04Oh, my God, yes.
00:30:05Is that possible, or should we not do that?
00:30:07I want to see what the young girls got.
00:30:09I don't mind adding a little seasoning to it.
00:30:12They can do whatever they want to do.
00:30:14If I don't like it, I can fix it.
00:30:16We all doing the chorus.
00:30:17Right.
00:30:18Or turn, turn, turn, pop.
00:30:21That's too complicated, girl.
00:30:22We all do the chorus.
00:30:24You'd think putting three dancers on a stage,
00:30:27it would come, like, butter to bread,
00:30:30but there's too many cooks in this kitchen.
00:30:32Why you mad, mad?
00:30:34Think that I want to cut that?
00:30:36I feel like that's too long.
00:30:38I mean, so?
00:30:40Oh!
00:30:42Girl groups do best with repetition.
00:30:45We're not the girls that are walking and doing repetition.
00:30:47We're, like, the dancers,
00:30:48so I was hoping that we could really dance, no?
00:30:51We don't have a full chorus choreography.
00:30:54We need to agree on something,
00:30:56because eyes are on us.
00:30:57People expect us to deliver.
00:30:59I'm not going home in a girl group challenge.
00:31:02It's me!
00:31:08Well, girls, are y'all ready to get this thing going?
00:31:11Oh, honey!
00:31:12Ready to get fierce-alicious?
00:31:14I'm certainly not ready to get fierce-alicious.
00:31:16I mean...
00:31:17It is the first elimination day,
00:31:19and I am absolutely fucking terrified.
00:31:21That rehearsal was not the one.
00:31:24I'm so happy for the diva.
00:31:26Me too.
00:31:27Because it's down to lip-sync for your life.
00:31:29This time, we would have the chance to fucking fight.
00:31:32And to be honest,
00:31:34you're my only alliance.
00:31:36I love you, baby.
00:31:38I'm so glad you're here.
00:31:39I know I've got another UK diva in this competition,
00:31:42but my relationship with Lemon is my only priority right now,
00:31:46and making sure that we make it to the end.
00:31:50How we feeling, Team Just Divas?
00:31:52We're doing great.
00:31:53How do you feel?
00:31:54I'm not worried about us as much as I was worried about myself
00:31:57in the beginning, to be honest.
00:31:58That's good.
00:31:59What was you worried in the beginning?
00:32:00Living trans, like, has really affected my confidence
00:32:03in my, like, everyday life,
00:32:04just because of the negative response I've gotten.
00:32:06Right.
00:32:07Drag is my saving grace often,
00:32:09but it's still kind of hard to find my confidence there too,
00:32:11to be honest.
00:32:12But I feel better today than I did yesterday.
00:32:14I'm so excited about today.
00:32:16Like, how are you guys feeling?
00:32:17You know, I get, like, stressed out still.
00:32:19Are you feeling, like, because this is the first competition,
00:32:21are you feeling the pressure?
00:32:23If you're not stressed, you don't care.
00:32:25I'm so curious to find out what everybody's been up to
00:32:28since we last saw you on TV.
00:32:30Like, like, Hannah, we only saw you for one episode.
00:32:33What have you been up to?
00:32:34No, it's not shade.
00:32:36That is not shade.
00:32:37I'm just like...
00:32:38OK, Cheryl.
00:32:39No, I'm curious.
00:32:40I'm like, what have you been up to?
00:32:42I've done so many things.
00:32:44I've performed in a halftime show at a stadium.
00:32:47Oh, my God.
00:32:48That was, like, epic.
00:32:49We toured France with the cast of Drag Race
00:32:52and Belgium, which was amazing.
00:32:56Miss Kennedy, what have you been up to, Jesus?
00:32:59I just won another pageant.
00:33:01Period!
00:33:02And I just got into a relationship.
00:33:05Oh, congrats!
00:33:07He's a trans man.
00:33:08Congrats, that's hot.
00:33:10He's awesome and a great supporter,
00:33:12and us girls, that's all we really want in this lifetime.
00:33:18This is the first relationship
00:33:19where I haven't felt taken advantage of.
00:33:23I've had a shitty run of relationships,
00:33:26and I'm sure a lot of us drag entertainers
00:33:29have gone through that,
00:33:30and he's just determined not to be that dude.
00:33:33And he's expecting.
00:33:35Oh, my God.
00:33:36With your child?
00:33:37Yes.
00:33:39Oh, my God, Kennedy!
00:33:42Congratulations!
00:33:44I just got chills.
00:33:45It's just giving me motivation to win this $100,000,
00:33:49because I'll have an addition to my family.
00:33:53That little baby's gonna come out hot-kicking, bitch.
00:33:56I did not know that Kennedy's boyfriend was trans,
00:33:59so I love finding that out now,
00:34:01and the fact there's gonna be little Kennedys
00:34:03running around, yeah?
00:34:05Oh, my God, I hope I could be, like, a godmommy
00:34:07or an auntie or something.
00:34:08You know I'll babysit immediately, Kennedy.
00:34:10I'll babysit.
00:34:13I feel like after UK vs. The World,
00:34:16I was definitely in, like, a deep, dark depression,
00:34:18because it was just shitty,
00:34:21and it just made me rethink
00:34:23how I thought about myself for a bit.
00:34:26But then I realized life moves the fuck on,
00:34:30and I was like,
00:34:31am I going to consider myself a loser
00:34:33because of one thing that happened in my life,
00:34:35or am I going to put the work in,
00:34:38make myself undeniably iconic,
00:34:41and then they're gonna have to have me back.
00:34:43And so...
00:34:44Now look at you.
00:34:45And so I did the latter.
00:34:47I can definitely relate to what Lemon is saying.
00:34:49Being first out is not an easy experience,
00:34:52and it's one that few people can relate to.
00:34:57I think we can understand each other because of that.
00:35:00Well, let's do it.
00:35:01May the best bitch win.
00:35:03Come on, vs. The World Season 2,
00:35:05let's get sickening!
00:35:26Covergirl, put the bass in your walk

00:42:39You've been read.
00:42:40Literally sewn from my head to feet.
00:42:42I got the track on a plate, and I eat the beat.
00:42:44You know I ain't got beef because I don't eat meat.
00:42:46But still, I never let a fake bitch fuck with me.
00:42:48I said, just walked in, they already shook.
00:42:50Lemon got them on their tippies like Lynn Hikes Brooke.
00:42:52Playing chess, I'm the queen, and you're only a rook.
00:42:54I never miss, and I'm serving the look.
00:42:56New year, but I'm still the same bitch.
00:42:58New fit, but you know I'm still rich.
00:43:00New sober, new real drip.
00:43:01Stealing from a poofy puppet quite like this.
00:43:04Tongue, tongue.
00:43:06Tongue, tongue.
00:43:07Why you mad, mad?

00:43:25Hey!
00:43:28Y'all ain't that hot, honey.
00:43:31Commence shakedown.
00:43:34Category is Wonders of the World.
00:43:37My very best drag.
00:43:39First up, Alexis Mateo.
00:43:42Oh, wow.
00:43:45I am the showgirl.
00:43:47I give it to you Vega style.
00:43:49That is Alexis Mateo one-on-one drag, baby.
00:43:53For the judges, I got the ultimate surprise.
00:43:56Ooh.
00:43:58Here are more feathers for you, bitches.
00:44:00Okay, she's feeling plucky.
00:44:02I am literally the biggest queer peacock you have ever seen.
00:44:07You're welcome, world.
00:44:09Stunning.
00:44:10Next, La Cahena.
00:44:12Ooh.
00:44:14I'm wearing the look that is dear to my heart.
00:44:16It's who Cahena is.
00:44:18The queen of the desert coming back for vengeance.
00:44:21I'm wearing my stones for pure around my neck.
00:44:24I call him Charles because he's my king.
00:44:27Touch this thing.
00:44:29Touch all of this thing.
00:44:31My turban gives a nod to my heritage,
00:44:34my homage to the women of North Africa,
00:44:37and I'm very proud to wear it.
00:44:39Eureka.
00:44:41Oh.
00:44:43The fantasy is hot on your sleeve,
00:44:45elephant queen eleganza.
00:44:47And what better way than, like, these giant sleeves
00:44:50that make a giant heart elephant.
00:44:52Talk about an elephant in the room.
00:44:54This is my no hips and no tits drive.
00:44:57This is, like, me celebrating my body as a trans woman,
00:45:01trying to be girly, give nude leg.
00:45:04Gotta know Mama had more legs than three buckets of chicken, girl.
00:45:09Love it.
00:45:10Ooh.
00:45:12Who am I?
00:45:14Oh, I'm the princess of the North,
00:45:17and I am here to claim my tiara.
00:45:20With great sour comes great responsibility.
00:45:23Yes!
00:45:25The hair is rhinestone, the glove is rhinestone,
00:45:28the dress is rhinestone, and my pussy...
00:45:31She's big on rinder.
00:45:35Kennedy Davenport.
00:45:38Wow.
00:45:39Kennedy has a shrug,
00:45:41especially what she has on the evening gown.
00:45:43It's the sway in my hips,
00:45:45the arch in my back, baby.
00:45:48I want to show the judges classic Kennedy Davenport,
00:45:52but an elevated Kennedy Davenport.
00:45:55I can see her Vegas strip.
00:45:58Very best drag.
00:46:00You know I got that.
00:46:02What's in the clutch, Kennedy?
00:46:04Puss.
00:46:06Cheryl.
00:46:07Ooh.
00:46:09Welcome to heaven. It's me, your Essex angel.
00:46:13I know these girls were not expecting me to pull this out.
00:46:16But here I am, shizzy, delivering.
00:46:19I know those are real pearls because I can see her clam.
00:46:24I am giving you 1920s glamour in a gorgeous white,
00:46:29which is very brave for an Essex girl.
00:46:31So pretty.
00:46:33Tynomi Banks.
00:46:36I want to show the judges how elevated my drag...
00:46:39I just want to be, you know, excellence, black excellence.
00:46:42I want to look chocolate dip.
00:46:44You dirty bird.
00:46:46I'm working this runway very slow, and it's not my fault.
00:46:50It's this mermaid piece of dress.
00:46:52Lock her on my knee.
00:46:54Move aside, pheasants.
00:46:57I'm just serving dip chicken chocolate.
00:47:02I just look fucking good, okay?
00:47:05LaFille.
00:47:06Ooh.
00:47:08For very best drag, I'm bringing you my very best dragon.
00:47:13I've got giant eyes on my shoulders
00:47:15with these gorgeous feather lashes.
00:47:17You've got something in your eye.
00:47:19Chinese people are so underrepresented,
00:47:21so it is so good to be able to come here
00:47:23and show off my culture in my most iconic fashion sculptural form.
00:47:27It is the year of the dragon,
00:47:29and I think it's going to be a very good one.
00:47:32And finally, Miss Fiercealicious.
00:47:35Ooh.
00:47:36This is not a prolapsed dress anymore.
00:47:38It's now a prolapsed gown.
00:47:40The prolapses have now blossomed and evolved to their final form.
00:47:44She's glooming just for you, Brad.
00:47:46Oh.
00:47:47I feel so ethereal in this outfit.
00:47:51I am floating down this runway.
00:47:54I feel like a bad bitch, and I look like one too.
00:47:56And hopefully this is the last time we'll have to see this reference.
00:47:59Sorry about it.
00:48:01Welcome to Canada, Queens.
00:48:03Ooh, yeah.
00:48:05We are so excited you are here.
00:48:08And let me tell you, right out the gate,
00:48:10you are not making this easy for us.
00:48:13Tonight, you will be judged in groups.
00:48:18Based on your girl group performances
00:48:20and your runway presentations,
00:48:22the judges have made some decisions.
00:48:25When I call your name,
00:48:27please step forward.
00:48:30Tinomi Banks.
00:48:34LaFille.
00:48:36Miss Fiercealicious.
00:48:41You are safe.
00:48:43Thank you.
00:48:44Thank you so much.
00:48:45You may step to the back of the stage as quickly as you can.
00:48:49Queens, you represent the top and the bottom groups of the week.
00:48:53Now, it is time for the judges' critiques.
00:48:56First up, Alexis Mateo.
00:48:58Starting off, this is the definition of opulence for me.
00:49:04I mean, head to toe, you look incredible, sensational.
00:49:08Thank you so much.
00:49:09And I feel so fucked up right now.
00:49:11I feel so fucked up.
00:49:13I feel so fucked up.
00:49:15Incredible, sensational.
00:49:16Thank you so much.
00:49:17And I feel so fucking pretty.
00:49:19You look so fucking pretty.
00:49:22Your song was Bopulence.
00:49:24Yes.
00:49:25But I didn't quite get that from your girl group.
00:49:28Your lyrics had elements of it in,
00:49:32but it didn't quite come through as Bopulence for me.
00:49:36It was very much an introduction, get to know you.
00:49:39Bitch, we know who you are.
00:49:41I wanted to hear about the opulence of drag.
00:49:43So I feel like the nail wasn't hit on the head with the assignment.
00:49:46I really, really appreciated the performance.
00:49:48Loved that you added a little Spanish to your verse.
00:49:50I thought it was super interesting.
00:49:52Very entertaining.
00:49:53You were the standout in the group.
00:49:56Especially when you leaned into that caliente.
00:49:59Together, I felt like the dots were not connecting.
00:50:02And there were moments that went a little bit flat for me.
00:50:06It's a girl group, so what we're looking for is cohesion.
00:50:09All of your energy was mismatched.
00:50:12I felt like you had the most of the girl group energy,
00:50:16but I was not getting an overall cohesive unit.
00:50:19Thank you, judges.
00:50:21Up next, La Shahana.
00:50:23Bonjour, judges.
00:50:24Hello, Habibi.
00:50:25Hello.
00:50:26Your verse, three languages.
00:50:29Somebody's showing off.
00:50:30A little.
00:50:31The biggest issue with your performance was the choreography,
00:50:34and you always seemed to step behind everyone else.
00:50:36I felt like maybe there was a little trepidation.
00:50:39It came across as not owning the stage.
00:50:42Bonsoir, La Shahana.
00:50:43Bonsoir.
00:50:44I kind of liked that laid-back side to the performance.
00:50:47Each girl group needs their posh spice,
00:50:50and, you know, that's as iconic to me.
00:50:53Tell me about your look tonight.
00:50:54My look is inspired by my Tunisian roots.
00:50:57I'm a Berber queen, and it's very important to me to show that.
00:51:01Très jolie, très belle.
00:51:02Merci beaucoup.
00:51:04Next up, Eureka.
00:51:06Eureka, when you had your verse,
00:51:09the volume was turned up the way I like it,
00:51:12but then when it was the chorus,
00:51:14I felt you turned the needle down,
00:51:16and I was surprised by that.
00:51:18It was definitely like, da-da-da-da-da,
00:51:20okay, I'm on, I'm on, I'm on,
00:51:22and now I'm in the back again, I'm in the back again.
00:51:24I need to see that Eureka energy the whole time.
00:51:27And to me, when I think of opulence,
00:51:30I think of you.
00:51:31You're one of the first people I think of
00:51:32because your drag is so over the top,
00:51:34and I wish your lyrics had reflected that more.
00:51:36If you had stayed on that course about your drag
00:51:39and about it being high glam,
00:51:41that would have been more on course and more opulent.
00:51:44I couldn't take my eyes off of you the entire performance.
00:51:48As a group, maybe the lyrics weren't as close to the theme,
00:51:53but your runway look was a huge highlight for me,
00:51:56one of my favorite looks,
00:51:57absolutely gorgeous and very opulent.
00:52:00I love you so much.
00:52:01My one thing is that bra.
00:52:03Ah! You don't like my little lady bra?
00:52:06What are you doing with a little lady bra?
00:52:08I was still about...
00:52:09You're an elephant!
00:52:10Oh, that's true.
00:52:11That took me out of the fantasy a little bit
00:52:12because it was so camped over the top,
00:52:14and then you had this three-for-one Meg cliché.
00:52:17I was waiting for someone to clock it.
00:52:19Thank you.
00:52:20Up next, Lemon.
00:52:21Hi!
00:52:22So historically, you in first episodes
00:52:24don't have the best track record.
00:52:26You know what?
00:52:27Queen of the verse, but I always bottom first.
00:52:31Well, I think that streak has been broken.
00:52:33Your group was absolute fire.
00:52:35That was a clap-back track from start to finish.
00:52:39Your performance was totally on point,
00:52:42and it felt like every single line
00:52:44was directed towards the haters,
00:52:46and that's exactly what we were looking for from Tung Pop.
00:52:49Your lyrics had a flow.
00:52:51You were flowing like a river,
00:52:53and then you changed the flow in one song.
00:52:56I really appreciated that your verse
00:52:58was a little bit more complex than the other queens.
00:53:01You really did not take the easy way out with your verse,
00:53:05and you just 100% killed it.
00:53:0810 out of 10.
00:53:10Thank God.
00:53:11This look is a dream.
00:53:13The standout for me, I know there's a lot of stones,
00:53:16but thank you for that heel.
00:53:17I would never miss a rhinestone heel.
00:53:19Never.
00:53:20Thank you.
00:53:21Thank you.
00:53:22Up next, Kennedy Davenport.
00:53:24You look absolutely breathtaking.
00:53:26Absolutely breathtaking.
00:53:27You're giving me Texas drag.
00:53:29Even the pocketbook.
00:53:31This is just perfection,
00:53:33and I felt exactly the same way about your performance.
00:53:36My favorite part of your verse
00:53:38happened before your verse even started.
00:53:40It was your ad-lib.
00:53:41Girl, if somebody didn't like me,
00:53:43I wouldn't even know it.
00:53:46It set the tone for the whole thing,
00:53:48and it was perfect.
00:53:49And then you went on to do what Kennedy does best,
00:53:52which is entertain.
00:53:53All three of you had a trick,
00:53:55but one didn't overshadow the other.
00:53:57You were very engaged throughout the entire performance,
00:54:01even when the other queens were performing their verse.
00:54:04There's nothing that I love more
00:54:06than a synchronized pop girl group
00:54:09walk across the stage.
00:54:11Ooh!
00:54:12I mean...
00:54:13We made a great trio,
00:54:15and I couldn't have asked for better girls.
00:54:18Thank you.
00:54:20Cheryl.
00:54:21How you doing, Gorge?
00:54:22I mean, this is the best I've ever felt on Drag Race so far.
00:54:25Well, yeah.
00:54:26One of your lyrics was,
00:54:28flew across the pond to attack.
00:54:31And that's exactly what you did.
00:54:33You attacked your performance,
00:54:34you attacked your choreo,
00:54:36you're attacking this look tonight.
00:54:38You were dropping solid bars there.
00:54:41I just feel like you completely embodied
00:54:43telling off the haters
00:54:45and just really gave a very empowering performance.
00:54:48And this look, to me,
00:54:49it's just like old Hollywood.
00:54:51Rita Hayworth, Jean Harlow.
00:54:54Very gorgeous and elegant and sophisticated.
00:54:57I will give you one note.
00:54:58I wish that feathers were down just a little bit more
00:55:02so I could see your...
00:55:03Can you do that?
00:55:04Oh!
00:55:05You want some tits, Brooke?
00:55:06Oh, there we go.
00:55:07Yes, much better.
00:55:09Queens, based on the judges' critiques,
00:55:12we have made some decisions.
00:55:14Lemon, you made that performance look easy-peasy.
00:55:18Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy.
00:55:21Kennedy, tonight you showed us
00:55:23what slays in Vegas slays the world.
00:55:27Cheryl, in the girl group performance,
00:55:29you made us girls a-proud.
00:55:34Lemon, congratulations.
00:55:36You are the winner of this week's Maxi Challenge!
00:55:39Yay!
00:55:41You have won $10,000.
00:55:44Bitch.
00:55:46Made possible by our Versus partner,
00:55:48Gilead Sciences Canada.
00:55:52Thank you.
00:55:55Kennedy and Cheryl, excellent job this week.
00:55:58You are both safe.
00:56:00Alexis Mateo, La Cajena, Eureka.
00:56:04That means you are the bottom three queens this week.
00:56:07Lemon, you have earned the power of the golden beaver,
00:56:11granting you the ability to save one of the bottom queens
00:56:14from lip-syncing for their lives.
00:56:16You hold the fate of your sisters in your hands.
00:56:24As you untuck, the bottom three may plead their case.
00:56:28You may leave the stage.
00:56:32Ooh, girl.
00:56:34Oh, ooh, okay, okay, bitch.
00:56:36I want to be where all the tea is spilling.
00:56:40Can I just say congratulations?
00:56:42I won!
00:56:44Oh, I'm so fucking happy.
00:56:46I'm very thankful for the win,
00:56:48and so thankful for my teammates.
00:56:50I feel like we ate that.
00:56:51Y'all ate it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, honey.
00:56:53Thank you so much.
00:56:54Well deserved.
00:56:55Thank you.
00:56:56Let's give her a round of applause.
00:56:57Come on.
00:56:58Thank you.
00:56:59She's not only the winner, but passed the first episode.
00:57:01Passed the first episode.
00:57:02The three of us broke the Canadian curse.
00:57:04Oh, the Canadian curse is no more.
00:57:07There was no weak link tonight.
00:57:09No.
00:57:10How are you girls feeling?
00:57:11It was hard the first time,
00:57:13and going back into that same place
00:57:15of being in the bottom on episode one,
00:57:17it's a bit triggering.
00:57:20I was the girl who went home first
00:57:22on UK vs. the World,
00:57:24and, like, I know how that feels.
00:57:28Yeah.
00:57:29Make sure you give yourself some credit,
00:57:31because you were good.
00:57:33Thank you.
00:57:35So I have the golden beaver.
00:57:38Oh, my God.
00:57:40Why do you think you should be saved?
00:57:42I have so much more to show,
00:57:44and I really wish I could show it.
00:57:46I know I can fucking slay.
00:57:49I know I do slay.
00:57:51But just landing in the bottom episode one again,
00:57:54that's the only thing I didn't want to happen,
00:57:56and it's happening.
00:57:57I'm actually very thankful for the golden beaver.
00:58:01Now, if you are in the bottom,
00:58:02you get the opportunity to fight for your place.
00:58:06Yeah.
00:58:07I don't want to lip sync.
00:58:10I really don't, Lemon.
00:58:12I just don't.
00:58:13And I appreciate the position that you're in.
00:58:16I appreciate these two lovely entertainers,
00:58:19and I can't wait to see them hopefully fight it out out there,
00:58:22because I just don't want to lip sync tonight.
00:58:26What the hell are you talking about, Eureka?
00:58:28I'm just being honest, you know.
00:58:30I just don't want to lip sync.
00:58:31This is so disrespectful.
00:58:33I feel like she's literally just making fun of the moment.
00:58:36I think my critiques were really positive,
00:58:39and personally I saw them as the best from the group.
00:58:43I'm also coming into this not wanting to be that girl.
00:58:46It's like it's all about me all the time,
00:58:48because that is the kind of Eureka that I used to be,
00:58:51and I'm not that person.
00:58:53So I'm happy with what I did.
00:58:56It kind of sounds to me like it is about Eureka,
00:59:00because you just said you got the best critiques in the group.
00:59:03I'm actually furious about this.
00:59:06The judges said to me that I was the standout in the group
00:59:09with my performance and also my runway.
00:59:13So how do you come out to that conclusion?
00:59:15You designated me as the choreographer of the group.
00:59:18I have to take charge of the entire group,
00:59:21help you guys actually go down on my level
00:59:24for you and you to shine,
00:59:28because I didn't want to be over the top with you guys.
00:59:32So the fact that you just sit here and said,
00:59:34well, I just don't want to lip-sync,
00:59:36it's kind of like hurting me.
00:59:38There's a lot of things in life I don't want to do,
00:59:40and I still do them, like hanging out with you.
00:59:44So please, can we just go ahead and send this girl home?
00:59:48I don't mean to hurt you. I think you're fabulous.
00:59:51You can please your case without throwing somebody under the bus.
00:59:54I didn't throw anyone under the bus.
00:59:56It kind of sounds like you should just not lip-sync,
01:00:00because you just wanted us to better it out,
01:00:02and you want it wild.
01:00:03I was just trying to be funny, to be honest.
01:00:05I don't think this is funny.
01:00:07I don't know what Miss Alexa...
01:00:09Who Miss Alexa's trying to come for?
01:00:12I want everybody to know that this is not a comedy show for me.
01:00:16This is a serious competition.
01:00:18This is how I pay my life. This is how I feed myself.
01:00:22I don't have no one else than myself.
01:00:25This is serious business for me.
01:00:27I respect all of you, but at the end of the day,
01:00:29this is how I get my living, you know?
01:00:33Girl, we all do this for a living.
01:00:35Shut the hell up.
01:00:37Girl, stop. No.
01:00:39I feel, in my personal opinion,
01:00:41that I did the best I can do with everything that it was given to me.
01:00:46It's hard to take a side,
01:00:49but in this situation, it's kind of easy to take a side.
01:00:53I definitely feel like Alexis did better.
01:00:57Ray Charles conceded, and he's blind and he's dead.
01:01:02But...
01:01:04You got the power of the golden beaver.
01:01:07If you want to put us to lipsync, put us to lipsync.
01:01:10You should do whatever you want to.
01:01:12I would love to be saved by you,
01:01:15but it's also...
01:01:18It's destiny.
01:01:20I mean, there's also the fact that some of the queens on the bottom,
01:01:23it's not their first time returning.
01:01:25They've had more opportunities to show what they can do,
01:01:28and they've landed in the bottom.
01:01:33Why does it sound so shady when you say it like that?
01:01:36It's starting now. The drama is officially starting.
01:01:39I'm trying to be the devil on Lemon's shoulder.
01:01:42Saved like a henna, she can go home later.
01:01:44But let's get out one of the strong American girls now.
01:01:47We all want to see Alexis and Eureka battling it out,
01:01:50because they're massive competition.
01:01:52This is a very, very difficult job,
01:01:55but, you know, this is sadly the way the lemon cookie crumbles.
01:01:59There is so much pressure on me to make the right decision,
01:02:02and I feel like I'm holding all the girls' hearts in my hands,
01:02:05and I have to drop one to the floor.
01:02:11It's time for me to make my decision,
01:02:13and I have literally no idea what to do.
01:02:15I could make my decision based on performance.
01:02:17I could make it based on strategy.
01:02:19I could save like a henna and give her another chance.
01:02:22I have been in like a henna's shoes, so that's weighing on me.
01:02:26Help me make the right decision,
01:02:30because this is not easy.
01:02:31If I pick a henna, that means one of the tough competition Americans
01:02:35is definitely going home.
01:02:37Very tempting.
01:02:40I'm making a decision,
01:02:41and I'm really hoping that it does not come back to bite me in the ass.
01:02:50Welcome back, queens.
01:02:52Lemon, heavy is the hand that holds the beaver.
01:02:57Who are you saving from the chomping block?
01:03:00This was a very, very hard decision.
01:03:03I love all three of you so much,
01:03:06and it's been so fun getting to know you all better,
01:03:09but I had to go with the person that I felt did the best this week,
01:03:14and it's been me.
01:03:16That I felt did the best this week,
01:03:19and that's why the person that I have decided to save
01:03:24is Alexis.
01:03:28We'll all be damned.
01:03:31I love you.
01:03:32I love you too.
01:03:33Alexis Mateo, you are out of the woods this week.
01:03:36Thank you.
01:03:37You may join the others at the back.
01:03:39Thank you.
01:03:41Laka Henna, Eureka,
01:03:44I'm sorry, but this means that you are both up for elimination.
01:03:50Two internationally acclaimed queens stand before us.
01:03:56Prior to tonight,
01:03:57you were asked to prepare a lip-sync performance of Meaningless
01:04:01by Charlotte Cardin.
01:04:02This is your last chance to impress us
01:04:05and save yourselves from elimination.
01:04:08The time has come for you to lip-sync for your life.
01:04:18Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
01:04:38Oh, good.
01:04:40But love is never like it should.
01:04:44I can't arrange meeting a stranger, forget you a day.
01:04:51But I can't imagine what even happens beyond the pain.
01:05:01See the sun leading us to the land of the lost
01:05:06and the reason lies.
01:05:08Hear the drum beating us.
01:05:12I'll forever surrender.
01:05:16I don't wanna live a meaningless.
01:05:24I don't wanna live a meaningless.
01:05:32I don't wanna waste in my twenties.
01:05:36Your glasses have emptied.
01:05:40I don't wanna live a meaningless life with you.
01:05:49You've seen me down.
01:05:51You've seen me high.
01:05:53You've seen me dancing in the night.
01:05:56Now that you're gone, you leave me crying.
01:06:00Alone in this meaningless life.
01:06:04You've seen me down.
01:06:06You've seen me high.
01:06:08You've seen me dancing in the night.
01:06:12Now that you're gone, you leave me crying.
01:06:16Alone in this meaningless life.
01:06:20See the sun leading us to the land of the lost
01:06:26and the reason lies.
01:06:28Hear the drum beating us.
01:06:32I'll forever surrender.
01:06:34The rest is meaningless.
01:06:52Queens, we have made our decision.
01:06:55You both did a beautiful job.
01:06:57You gave me full body chills.
01:07:00I had tears in my eyes.
01:07:02You embodied the song so perfectly.
01:07:05So thank you so much for that.
01:07:09Eureka, Shantae, you stay.
01:07:14Thank you.
01:07:16I love you so much.
01:07:18You may join the others.
01:07:21Love y'all.
01:07:26La Cahenna, it was love at first sting.
01:07:30You will forever be the world's scorpion queen.
01:07:34Thank you so much for having me.
01:07:36It was a real pleasure to be in Canada.
01:07:38I'm very grateful.
01:07:40And very grateful to be the first double porkchop ever.
01:07:44Thank you so much.
01:07:46Now sashay away.
01:07:48Yes, bitch!
01:07:50Oh, drag race Abu Dhabi?
01:07:52Call me.
01:07:58What I'm going to take away from this experience
01:08:00is that I'm really bad at drag race,
01:08:02but I'm still an amazing drag queen.
01:08:04I'm the new legend of the porkchop.
01:08:06I'm the only double porkchop ever.
01:08:09I'm not yet proud of it.
01:08:11But it's a title, bitch. I'll keep it.
01:08:13And this is not the last time you'll see me.
01:08:18Congratulations, queens.
01:08:20You live to slay another day.
01:08:23The world has never needed the magic of drag more.
01:08:26So say true, north, strong, and fierce!
01:08:31Now let the music play!
01:08:33Yay!
01:08:49Next time on Canada's Drag Race.
01:08:51Canada versus the world.
01:08:53You're being extra.
01:08:54You're making things worse.
01:08:55No, no, you're being stupid.
01:08:56You've all been cast on the new whodunit reality show,
01:09:00The Hole.
01:09:01Are you hoping to be The Hole?
01:09:03If I'm not, this will be the first time.
01:09:05She just don't look right.
01:09:06Something's wrong with her.
01:09:07It's like I've stepped into my TV.
01:09:09Oh, I'm in the box.
01:09:10Hello, Mom!
01:09:11It sounds as if there's one more sleuth.
01:09:13Lisa!
01:09:14Linda!
01:09:15I'm in heaven!
01:09:17What am I doing here?
01:09:18That is a very good question.
