00:00You will be designing a look for moi
00:02that I will be modeling on the Bain stage.
00:05I'm really proud of what I did.
00:07I don't think anyone could take away this joy.
00:10Your wardrobe malfunction literally malfunctioned
00:12on that runway.
00:13You had one of the only ones that she did
00:15fumble just slightly on it.
00:16I'm so fucking done!
00:18I'm done!
00:19Fuck you!
00:20I'm not tearing her down.
00:21I am just going to do my best.
00:23I'm going to do my best.
00:24I'm going to do my best.
00:25I'm going to do my best.
00:26I'm going to do my best.
00:27Fuck you!
00:28I'm not tearing her down.
00:29I am just enlightening the facts that happened.
00:32Let me tell you something.
00:34I am Michaela motherfucking Couture.
00:36I'm done with you.
00:37Done!
00:38Mini Wang, congratulations.
00:40The Virgo Queen.
00:41Shante, you stay.
00:43Xana, sashay away.
00:46We're all gagged at what just happened.
00:49That was a fucking lot.
00:51This is tense.
00:53Can I have a cigarette?
00:55Had so much fun antagonizing you.
00:58It was an honor.
01:00Season 5, Sisters for Life.
01:02Bye, slurs!
01:04Xana, you're the best.
01:05You're the best.
01:06You're the best.
01:07You're the best.
01:08You're the best.
01:09You're the best.
01:10You're the best.
01:11You're the best.
01:12You're the best.
01:13You're the best.
01:14Xana, you did so well.
01:16She really antagonized all of us.
01:19I mean, she really came in unapologetically herself.
01:23And clearly, she ticked off some people's nerves.
01:26But I do respect her for just being a bold bitch, you know?
01:30I'm sad.
01:31I loved her feisty energy.
01:33I never take it personally.
01:35Bye, Xana.
01:37Bye.
01:38Xana-doo.
01:39I feel the most sad because she's leaving with this unfinished business with Mikaela.
01:45Teeth and hair greased.
01:47Let's sit the fuck down.
01:51All right, divas.
01:52First of all, congratulations, Virgo.
01:56Yes!
01:57She's like, I'm going to slay the dancing lip syncs.
01:59I'm going to slay the ballads, bitch.
02:01I bet you didn't know I had a ballad in me.
02:03Exactly.
02:04That song started and you went, shall we go for it?
02:07Literally.
02:08I feel good.
02:09I think, like, being in the bottom the past two weeks has really, like, changed my perspective of things.
02:17I'm here to fucking show up every single day.
02:19And I just want to make sure, like, moving forward, I'm going to put my best effort and, like, make sure that I'm in a top position.
02:27So y'all better beware.
02:30Better watch out.
02:31Because I'm ready for my third win.
02:33Also, I feel like we need to give a big congratulations to my Putakana partner.
02:40I can't believe we're going together.
02:43Design challenge winner number two.
02:46But seriously, congratulations, dude.
02:48Like, you deserve that win.
02:49I guess I'm going to just have to accept now that I am a designer.
02:53I am a seamstress.
02:54I am a sewer.
02:56I think, like, as the competition has gone on, my confidence has just grown.
03:00And now, I know it sounds really dumb, but, like, I'm now starting to believe in myself more.
03:05Starting off my journey as a pit crew member to now top five on season five as a queen, like, that doesn't compute.
03:17But I am just thrilled.
03:19I do want to check in with my sister, Mikaela, because we had a pretty severe moment in our untucked.
03:25You are a small, tiny-ass human being.
03:29And that is exactly why you bring down everyone else in the room.
03:33First of all, I apologize to you guys because you guys don't.
03:36Don't apologize.
03:37But regardless, y'all do not deserve to have to have witnessed that.
03:41That's great, but we don't apologize for your emotions.
03:44No.
03:45Don't apologize at all.
03:48I felt like I had never put down Zana.
03:51But somehow, Zana would always find a way to put down someone in the room.
03:57Literally, this has been a buildup of, like, weeks upon weeks.
04:02I feel like I could have handled the situation with Zana a lot better.
04:05But I am human.
04:07I have feelings.
04:08I've informed Zana about how I felt, about the way she spoke to me.
04:13And she continued, so.
04:17And you know what?
04:18I love and respect her for everything she's done so far on this season.
04:22I honestly do not hate her.
04:25However, she is not my girl.
04:28People are entitled to their feelings.
04:30And what I had said after the blowup, it wasn't to, like, silence you or anything.
04:35I was just trying to say, like, the fire can sometimes, like, you say things and then it just means that the door is shut.
04:43And sometimes you don't want to regret it and make things worse if there is ever the chance of, like, wanting to be friends.
04:51That's all.
04:52At the end of the day, I do have to watch this back.
04:54And I do have to take ownership of what I said.
04:57Personally, I feel like what I said was absolutely fucking correct.
05:02So I feel no ways I'm going to watch this back and smile, bitch.
05:06Oh, my God.
05:07You're going to crack the fuck up.
05:08It was so funny.
05:09Just you in this yellow wig.
05:11In the yellow outfit.
05:12Looking like a damn Oompa Loompa.
05:14You stormed off in your hat just hanging out.
05:18Girl.
05:19All right, Miss Oompa Loompa.
05:21I think we should all get out of drugs.
05:25Let's go, girl.
05:27Going into the next week, I am feeling confident.
05:31Like, take a look at her track record.
05:33Look at the receipts.
05:35An Asian parent would be proud.
05:37I live.
05:38Minnie has two wins.
05:40Virgo has two wins.
05:41Michaela has one.
05:42I have one.
05:43Helena has none.
05:44Work.
05:45Get your pearl necklaces on, bitches.
05:47It's my time to get another win.
05:51Top six from the fucking six.
05:53But we won.
05:54Top five from the six.
05:55It was better, bitch.
05:58The winner of Canada's Drag Race

06:37throughout this competition that, like...
06:39Yeah.
06:40Yeah, it's truly, it's anyone's game.
06:42And like I said last week,
06:43every single day is a brand new day.
06:46Yes, and it's a new day in the workroom.
06:48It is a new day.
06:49And we all have a win.
06:51Oh, wait.
06:52Bitch!
06:55I am currently the only one without a win.
06:57My sisters love to remind me.
07:00It's all really settling in
07:02how real this next week is going to be.
07:05What is going on with you today?

10:01Or maybe she's crying.
10:02We're not too sure,
10:03but a lot of emotions are happening.
10:05I felt like I was right there with you.
10:07Oh, thank you.
10:09Here is your next location.
10:12Today, we are at the racetrack,
10:14and we have some amazing Olympians.
10:17Lots of running young men here.

10:26prepared to grab the bouton.
10:29There he goes.

10:31I'm rooting for Jamaica.
10:33It's actually passing a message on.
10:35This is before the Internet,
10:36before television.
10:37It's a message race.
10:38Oh, my goodness.
10:39We are winning number 625.
10:41Come on, 625!
10:43Look at those arms go.
10:44They're almost as big as mine.
10:46Oh!
10:47Oh!

10:51going up to the moon,
10:54as RuPaul once said.
10:56Lift off!
10:58Oh, that's really hot.
11:01First drag queen in space.
11:03There she is.
11:04Look at her go.
11:05She lost her lashes, but that's okay.
11:07In space, no one can see your lashes.
11:09All right.
11:11And here is your last location.
11:14Where are we heading today?
11:16Oh, gosh.
11:18We are in the workroom of season 4.
11:22Melinda Verga is very, very excited
11:26and passionate about wearing
11:27a Vivienne Westwood-inspired outfit.
11:30Oh, things are about to take
11:32a very, very hard turn.
11:34She is saying,
11:35look into my pretty blue contact eyes
11:38and tell me that I don't look beautiful.
11:40Venus says,
11:41you don't look beautiful, bitch.
11:43You don't.
11:44Will she exit the room?
11:45Well, stay tuned to find out.
11:47All we know is those chompers
11:49are chomping today.
11:50Rawr, rawr, rawr, rawr, rawr.
11:53Oh, Melinda is storming out of the room.
11:55Melinda is storming out of the room.
11:56Cameras, are we following Melinda?
11:58Very well done.
12:01That was weird.
12:03Do you want to sign off?
12:05This has been Perla reporting live

12:33courtesy of Swish Embassy.
12:36Cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching.
12:39Now that you've seized the day,
12:41it's time to take the night.
12:44Oh.
12:45For this week's maxi challenge,
12:46the five of you will be guests

12:51What Just Happened,
12:53hosted by yours truly.
12:55Oh my God, yes!
12:57Come on, the after show.
12:59Okay, this challenge sounds really fun.
13:01I love an interview setting,
13:03so I'm feeling comfy.
13:05You've been booked to promote
13:06the sizzling new season
13:08of Canada's Drag Race.
13:10So I want you to give your best talking head.
13:14You'll spill the tea on this season,
13:17throw some shade at your sisters,
13:19and play some gag-worthy games.
13:21Love, love, love.
13:23And you'll really want to bring it,
13:24because your guest judge this week
13:26is the one, the only...
13:29T.S. Madison!
13:31Oh my God!
13:32Are you kidding me?
13:34Yes!
13:35This is literally a dream.
13:38T.S. Madison is that bitch,
13:40so she's going to meet the other bad bitch.
13:43Racers, start your engines,
13:46and may the best drag queen spill!
13:49Ooh!
13:52All right, and the girls are off.
13:56For this week's Maxi Challenge,
13:58we are going to show off our star power
14:00while we get interviewed by Brad.
14:02We're going to be just like those celebrities
14:04working on their new projects.
14:06I'm feeling excited about this challenge.
14:08It's like the most practical real-world challenge
14:12with things that we're actually going to be doing
14:15following this competition.
14:17Do any of you guys, like, enjoy hosting?
14:21Since we're about to do our little talk show moment.
14:23I never really did too much hosting before,
14:27and then so coming to Toronto,
14:29where they're like,
14:30okay, to the wolves with you, have fun.
14:33Where you actually have to, like,
14:34figure out things to say on the mic
14:36and how to, like, be engaging.
14:38It took a hot minute to kind of, like,
14:40figure out my footing.
14:42I like to plan things.
14:43Even if when it comes to improv,
14:44I want to have, like, my cues that I want to hit,
14:47I want to know what my character is,
14:49and I normally take, like,
14:50way too long to plan that shit out,
14:52so that when you're like,
14:53no, just go, I'm like, ah.
14:55As drag queens do,
14:56like, you just figure it out.
14:57Yeah, make it work.
14:58Hosting is what I do, girl.
15:00Y'all know you've been to my show.
15:01Yeah.
15:02Y'all know that I host down,
15:04so I really, like, love talking to people
15:07and, like, being a full fucking mess
15:09because, like, when I perform,
15:10I'm, like, sexy and hot,
15:12and then, you know, I talk on the mic,
15:13and that's really how you get people
15:14to connect with you.
15:16Yeah.
15:17And, like, get to know you, right?
15:19Totally.
15:20I would not consider myself
15:21someone who likes hosting at all.
15:23I'm very much that girl
15:24who kind of, like, speeds through my hosting
15:27just to get to perform.
15:29I know. Well, it's actually funny
15:30because you can be very shy, right?
15:32I can. I can.
15:34This challenge is literally asking for just you
15:39and to be engaging
15:41but also allow everyone else around you
15:44to feel like they're a part of the conversation.
15:47Do you have that personality
15:49that can bring people in?
15:51Like, whoa, chow.
15:54Like, if you don't win this one,
15:55it's like, damn.
16:05Welcome, everyone, to What Just Happened.
16:08I'm your host, Brad Goreski,
16:09and joining me is the dynamic final five
16:13of Canada's Drag Race.
16:15Hi, ladies.
16:16Hi.
16:17Wow, you all look so gorgeous.
16:21All right, now I'm going to critique your looks.
16:23Just kidding.
16:25Hey, Virgo.
16:26Hey, boo-boo.
16:27So, are you actually a Virgo?
16:29No, I'm not. I'm a Scorpio.
16:31Lies. Really?
16:32Yes, this is not my real hair, either.
16:34Oh, my God.
16:36Good day, Minnie.
16:37Good day, Brad.
16:38Did you hit the gym today?
16:39No time. This took all of my time off.
16:41Oh, really?
16:42Yeah.
16:43Okay, well, the pump is good.
16:44Oh, thanks.
16:45Yeah.
16:46No, I mean the pump.
16:47Oh, shit.
16:49So, I have lots of questions for you all,
16:52but before we get to those,
16:54let's get to our first game of the night.
16:57Oh, work.
16:58It's called the Chomping Block.
17:01Oh.
17:02Munch, munch.
17:03Everyone pick up their block.
17:05Work.
17:06I'm going to ask some questions,
17:07and you tell me which queen comes to mind.
17:11Honest answers, please.
17:13Always.
17:14Who is the most fashionable?
17:17Oh, wow.
17:18Hello.
17:21Oh, unanimous.
17:23Is it?
17:24Yeah.
17:25Except for Michaela put herself.
17:27What?
17:30Now, this is way more interesting to me.
17:32Who?
17:33Who is the least fashionable?
17:35Oh.
17:38Oh, fuck.
17:39Oh, shit.
17:41That is some shady question.
17:44You said me?
17:45Yeah.
17:46You shady bitch.
17:47I'm sorry.
17:48I'm sorry.
17:49No, it's okay.
17:50Well, so did Perla.
17:52Oh, well, she's shady as hell, too.
17:54Let's freeze the hat.
17:57Who paints the best mug?
17:59Oh.
18:00Oh.
18:01Oh.
18:02Oh.
18:03Oh.
18:04Baby, don't act like it's hard.
18:06Just pick my face.
18:07Here we go.
18:08Just pick my face.
18:09I'm sorry.
18:10I didn't go with you, though.
18:11Oh, my God.
18:12That's fine.
18:13We also told you who had the least taste.
18:14Yeah.
18:15Thank you so much for playing.
18:19Let's get to some viewer questions.
18:21People have been watching and loving you all.
18:24Oh, of course.
18:26So, Perla.
18:27Hello.
18:28You've brought your love for fashion to every runway.
18:30Where does that come from?
18:32Honestly, I think it kind of comes from my grandma.
18:35She always taught me, always get dressed up,
18:37because you never know who's going to knock at your door.
18:39And that has stuck in my head.
18:41That's sweet.
18:42But she never told you to put blush on, huh?
18:45Virgo, what was it like being in the competition
18:49with your drag daughter, Sangina?
18:51Oh, my goodness.
18:52Honestly, it was such a surreal experience
18:56to get to be on this platform with my drag daughter.
19:00Like, I'm so proud of everything she accomplished.
19:03And, of course, it's bittersweet.
19:06It's sad that she left.
19:07I wanted her here.
19:08I say it all the time.
19:09I'm like, oh, I wish Sangina was here for this.
19:11And, like, I feel guilty experiencing it without her.
19:14But she showed who she is.
19:16And I know that this is going to benefit her
19:18so much in the future.
19:19Like, oh, what a blessing.
19:21Minnie, you said you felt underestimated
19:24in this competition.
19:25Yeah.
19:26Which of your sisters made you feel that way the most?
19:30Honestly, I think it's that Intercepteur.
19:33It really is just all in my head.
19:35But I really am very proud of, like, where I've come.
19:39You should be.
19:40You're an icon.
19:42Mikaela.
19:43Hi.
19:44Do you feel like you are in your drag mother Isis' shadow?
19:47I made a name for myself the second I started drag.
19:50We are two very different people.
19:53So we can shine in our own light.
19:55Love, love that.
19:56Amen.
19:57Helena, you are an incredible designer.
19:59Were you surprised to fall short of a win
20:01in both of this season's design challenges?
20:04I expected to be in the top for both design challenges,
20:07but I'm not surprised that Minnie beat me out
20:09for both of them.
20:10I'm not mad about it, either.
20:12I designed two beautiful garments.
20:14You did.
20:15Were they finished?
20:16Jury's out, but...
20:18If there's one thing I love about these drag queens,
20:21it's that they are willing to take risks,
20:23whether it be in a challenge or on the runway.
20:26It is now time to play Defend Your Drag.
20:31Ooh!
20:33You all have some splainin' to do.
20:35Oh, my God, I'm so excited.
20:37Mikaela, here is your moment.
20:40You know what, actually?
20:41This is not hard to defend.
20:43The body is giving.
20:45See that hip?
20:46The outfit might not be the best,
20:48but that color, it is everything.
20:50Thank you, Mikaela.
20:52Helena.
20:53Yes.
20:54You're up next.
20:55Oh, my God.
20:57You know what?
20:59I'm not gonna defend this.
21:00Look at her.
21:01What is that?
21:02I will defend bringing up Brooklyn's lace front eyebrows, though.
21:05Oh, my God.
21:07Minnie, here is your moment.
21:10Here we go.
21:12Oh, my God.
21:14Wouldn't you want to receive a showcase from this woman?
21:17No, no.
21:18Where's the lip gone?
21:20You tell us.
21:22Virgo, here's your moment.
21:24What do we got?
21:26Oh, no, not Miss Judge Lynn Toler, honey.
21:31Honestly, I looked the part.
21:33I looked the part down.
21:35The cross-eyed is getting me right.
21:37Perla, here is your moment.
21:40I hope it's horrible.
21:42Oh, you know what?
21:44This was art.
21:46I'm quite pale, but that was the look.
21:48That was the look.
21:50I stand corrected.
21:52All your drag is untouchable.
21:54Stop, heart.
21:56You've all inspired fans around the world,
21:58and I want to keep the ball rolling
22:00with some more thought-provoking questions for the group.
22:02Mm-hmm.
22:04What advice would you give someone wanting to get into drag?
22:08I would say just do it.
22:10Just take the step of courage and just give it a try.
22:13Don't be afraid to be a mess.
22:15Makeup takes time, hair takes time,
22:17but it'll come together.
22:19Charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent.
22:21Baby, that's all it takes.
22:23You got a little sparkle, let it shine.
22:25What is the biggest misconception about drag queens?
22:28I would say that we're, like, all stupid,
22:31and this is our last resort.
22:33Like, we didn't have a career.
22:35It's like, no, I chose to do this,
22:37and I'm so glad that I did.
22:39Yeah, that part.
22:41And that we're all doing it for a drink ticket.
22:43I'm here for a paycheck
22:45and maybe three Red Bulls, but, like...
22:47Keep the drink ticket.
22:49Not everyone wants your shot as a tip,
22:51but we all want your money.
22:53What would you say to someone who doesn't believe
22:55drag is appropriate for children?
22:57This is play. This is fun.
23:00What you see here is sparkle and bright colors.
23:03Me as a kid, I would have loved some drag.
23:06I'd also add that not all drag is for children,
23:09but the same way that not all movies are for children,
23:12not all television shows are for children.
23:15There are drag artists who do drag to cater to children,
23:17and there are drag artists who do drag
23:19that caters to adults and nightlife,
23:21and I don't think that we should all be grouped together
23:23in one group.
23:24Thank you for your thoughtful answers.
23:26You've just proven that you have tact,
23:29but now it's time to see if you can act.
23:31I'm going to hand out some scripts
23:33that depict an iconic moment
23:35that went down in our very own workroom.
23:37Oh, snap.
23:40Pick a script.
23:41This one? Thank you.
23:45Let's do this one.
23:48Oh, shit.
23:49Everyone ready?
23:51Let's start.
23:52When they asked us this question of who should go home,
23:55everyone except me said Jada,
23:57and I would never say Jada.
23:59Who did you say?
24:00Me.
24:01I'm most pissed off at that.
24:03I'm not going to lie.
24:04That I said you?
24:05Yeah, because I talked to you and asked you about my look,
24:08and you were like,
24:09it's pretty, it looks really good,
24:11don't worry about it.
24:12Bomb, the first week you also told me
24:14that you thought I looked really good,
24:16and then when we were talking in Untucked,
24:18you told me that I should be in the bottom,
24:20so, like, this is, like, a common occurrence.
24:24You should have been straight up and been like, no.
24:28Wait one second, hold on, chaos.
24:31If I didn't want to see you do well,
24:33I wouldn't have given you that wig you're wearing right now.
24:37That's true, you're right.
24:38Second, when Fierce is freaking out,
24:41is she a fun person to be around?
24:43No!
24:44Well, I just want to say something,
24:46and it's really hurting me,
24:47and fucking me all the way up,
24:49because Kimmy, I thought you and me was cute, okay?
24:52We know each other from a long fucking time,
24:55and you called my name on stage.
24:58If I were to compare the two outfits,
25:00this was, like, constructed, like, properly, like.
25:04The hot glue gun girls are fighting!
25:07Girl, that's not even funny.
25:09Sorry.
25:10Turn up.
25:12Turn up.
25:13Turn up!
25:14And scene!
25:16That was really well done.
25:18That actually made up for Snatch Game.
25:20Oh, thank God.
25:23Well, on that note, it's time to say goodbye.
25:27Aww.
25:29But first, we have a few special fans
25:31that want to give their love to you.
25:33Aww.
25:34Oh, my God.
25:35Surprise, Matt.
25:36Congratulations on making it this far in the competition.
25:40I'm absolutely amazed with your talent and your imagination.
25:44I can't wait to see what comes next.
25:47I am so proud of you.
25:49I love you.
25:51Bring home that crown.
25:53Bye.
25:54Mom!
25:55That meant everything to me.
25:58I'm here for myself,
25:59but a big part of me is here for my mom.
26:01When I wanted to give up auditioning for this show
26:04because it was just getting too much,
26:06she said,
26:07I want the world to see how amazing you are and what I see,
26:11so I have to do it for her.
26:13I want to be able to give that to her.
26:15And also, Mom, you did a really good job on your makeup.
26:19The mom stuff always makes me.
26:23Oh, my God, my baby!
26:25Hey, my honey bunch, this is Gold.
26:27I miss you so much.
26:28Everybody here at home is cheering you on,
26:30and we're all so proud of you for making it this far.
26:33It's always been your dream to be doing this,
26:35so we're all asking you to push yourself even further
26:37all the way to the end.
26:39I love you, and I can't wait to have you back at home, babe.
26:42Oh, my God, I can't wait to be home, too.
26:45Mikaela, what did it mean to you to see your partner?
26:51I really fought to fucking be here
26:54and just to know that, like, he's still, you know, cheering me on
26:58and that she's holding down the fort
27:00because the apartment looks clean.
27:03Oh, my God, my little white man.
27:06He always centers me.
27:08While I was looking at him, I could just hear, like,
27:11breathe, relax.
27:14You're living your dream, and, yeah, I am. I am.
27:17Wei, Minnie, it's me, your favorite brother,
27:21calling from Australia.
27:23I'm so excited to be able to send you this message
27:26because it must mean that you haven't been juiceboxed
27:28out of the competition as yet.
27:30We are so proud of you,
27:32but a word of warning to the remaining queens.
27:35You may have been giving this wang some stiff competition,
27:38but she always comes first.
27:43Love you.
27:44It's just so typical of him to be so quick-witted.
27:48He's also gay.
27:50We actually weren't close as siblings.
27:52It was only really until we came out to each other
27:55that we got a lot closer.
27:57Just to, like, hear how proud he is of me,
28:00like, I can't ask for more.
28:02Hey, P, it's me and Bubz cheering you on from home.
28:04Aw!
28:06We love you. We miss you so, so much.
28:08We know how far you've made in this competition,
28:10and you're so close to the end.
28:12Keep fighting. Keep pushing.
28:14Bring us home that crown.
28:16It just means so much to see his face again
28:18and just hear his voice.
28:20This is literally, like, the longest we've ever been apart
28:23since we started dating.
28:24If you would have told me 3 1⁄2 years ago
28:27that I would find someone that I love so much,
28:31I would never have believed you.
28:33Never in a million years.
28:35I know he's my biggest cheerleader, and I'm his.
28:38You know, I love him so much.
28:41Congratulations, Virgo queen.
28:43Oh, my gosh!
28:45To your big sis, Jennihan.
28:46And your loving mother.
28:48We just wanted to say we miss you so much,
28:50and we're so proud of you.
28:51You got this. You were born a star.
28:53Show these queens how you slay.
28:56One love.
28:58One love.
29:00You know, you come from a long line of bad bitches.
29:03I know.
29:04Oh, my God.
29:05And finally the prettiest one.
29:08Virgo, what does that mean to you?
29:10Uh...
29:14Oh, shit.
29:16It means so much to me
29:20to see my mom and my sister proud of me.
29:25I know it has not been easy raising a child like me.
29:30And, like, just from where we come from,
29:33like, these types of things don't exist,
29:36because, like, it's beyond words.
29:40To be here in this experience,
29:42to be so appreciated and so loved,
29:45it's, like, overwhelming.
29:47So I'm crying with, like, joy,
29:49and I'm crying with pride,
29:51and I'm crying with excitement.
29:54Thank you so much for that.
29:56Aw.
29:57Well, this has been...
29:59What Just Happened?
30:00I'm your host, Brad Goreski.
30:02Good night.
30:03Yeah, what just happened?
30:06Now we're all crying.
30:08What a messy ending.
30:13All right, y'all, this way.
30:15Keep it steppin'.
30:16Keep on walkin', girl.
30:18It's elimination day,
30:19and that's the last time I'm gonna be saying that,
30:22because this is the last elimination
30:24before our finale and the top four.
30:28Y'all are ready for this runway, honey.
30:31You better turn up.
30:32You better turn up.
30:34Yesterday was really fun.
30:35It meant everything to see my mom and my sister.
30:38You know, you can get caught up in the moment
30:40of being here and being sassy
30:42and being the only person to boost yourself up.
30:45So I felt like a moment of, like,
30:47okay, you know, like, you've made them proud,
30:49and that's, like, the most important thing.
30:52I went back to the hotel.
30:53I fucking bawled my eyes out.
30:55Me too.
30:56It just, it all hit me, you know?
30:59Yeah.
31:00Moms really are, like, a fucking rock.
31:03Like, my mom is literally my biggest supporter,
31:07my biggest fan, and we've had rough patches
31:11and always came through,
31:13and she's always been really on my side
31:16to, like, follow my dreams and do what I love.
31:20My, like, big issues really came with, like, my dad.
31:24My dad is a fucking hard-ass.
31:26He's a piece of shit,
31:28and when I was 12,
31:32my dad was actually arrested for child abuse.
31:35Oh, my God.
31:36Yeah.
31:37I had a, like, restraining order against my father.
31:41We couldn't even, like, be in the same city together,
31:45and that was when my mom filed for divorce.
31:48Wow.
31:49And, like, I have, like, memories of, like,
31:51my father pushing me down a flight of stairs
31:53and my sister covering my mouth while I'm on the floor
31:56crying my eyes out
31:57but trying not to let my father hear that I'm crying.
32:01It's extremely hard for me to be vulnerable.
32:04I was never raised in an environment
32:06where my emotions were safe.
32:08I was always told to stop crying,
32:12and if you cried harder, you got hit harder.
32:15It was really tough.
32:17That was a huge catalyst for me in actually getting sober
32:20because I was so afraid that I was turning into my father.
32:23Thank you for sharing, Perla.
32:25That, like, takes a lot of bravery, you know,
32:28to bring up something like that and to be so open.
32:31I totally can connect and relate to that.
32:34I know how it feels to be closed off
32:37and then to be judged
32:39when people don't understand why you are the way you are.
32:42I feel like my whole life has always been, like,
32:46a struggle to get something or get somewhere,
32:50and then something, like, just knocks me down.
32:53At the beginning of the pandemic, like,
32:55I kind of was starting my career,
32:57and I worked really, really hard to get...
33:01to get some gigs in the village.
33:05Yeah.
33:06And I was, like, drugged at one of the bars.
33:11What?
33:13Like, it was, like, a group of people.
33:15They, like, brought me to this room
33:18that they rented in a condo or I don't know.
33:21And, like, I just woke up,
33:24and I, like, have just, like, visions of, like,
33:27maybe have, like, someone on top of me.
33:31And it's just really fucked me up
33:34because I was, like, well, maybe drag isn't for me.
33:36Maybe I should just give up on that dream
33:38because, you know, it feels like the universe
33:40is just telling you, like, no.
33:42And I blame myself so many times for drinking
33:45and making the wrong decisions.
33:47I try so hard to be, like, positive
33:50and to, like, love on people,
33:52but I've just been kicked down so many times.
33:56You're so strong, Virgo.
33:58You're so fucking strong.
33:59You've come through it all and still persist.
34:01You have to take that as, like, a testament
34:03to also your strength.
34:04I mean, therapy.
34:05Therapy is also magical,
34:07so please go to therapy, people.
34:09People are often misunderstood,
34:14and people are often struggling.
34:17Everyone is going through something,
34:19every single one of us.
34:21You guys are fucking phenomenal, like, truly.
34:24Growing up in the church, we did this thing
34:26where if you didn't get a hug from anyone that day,
34:29my aunt would tell us to just, like,
34:31squeeze yourself and remind yourself
34:33that, like, you are so loved.
34:35Should we all do that?
34:36Can we please?
34:37Can we all just squeeze ourselves right now?
34:39Feels good.
34:40Remind yourself that, like, you are so loved.
34:43Please, remember that you're a superstar
34:45and that, like, no matter what happens,
34:47we always got each other's backs.
34:49That part.
34:50Yeah.
34:51Ah, so beautiful.
34:52Okay, y'all, I think I finally figured out.
34:55This is a family.
34:58Yes!
34:59Yes!
35:18Cover girl
35:19Put the bass in your walk
35:21Head to toe
35:23Let your whole body talk
35:28Oh, my gosh, she's gorgeous!
35:31Welcome to the main stage of Canada's Drag Race.
35:34He's editor and queef of whom magazine?
35:37It's Brad Goreski.
35:39Hey, Brooke.
35:40Hey, Bradley.
35:41Hear any good tea lately?
35:42Oh, yeah.
35:43I heard Brooklyn Heights is a real bitch.
35:46Who said that?
35:47I never reveal my sources.
35:50And she's the queen of Canadian media.
35:52It's Tracey Belshor.
35:54Hi, Brooke.
35:55Hi, Tracey.
35:56How's your headline?
35:57No complaints.
35:58Me neither.
36:00And she's the talk of the town,
36:02the host of Bring Back My Girls.
36:04It's T.S. Madison!
36:06Hi, Brooklyn!
36:07What's the key to a riveting interview?
36:09A riveting interview has to go deep.
36:11You know I like to go real deep.
36:14How deep?
36:15Honey, you ain't heard?
36:1622 inches deep!
36:18Yeah!
36:21This week, our queens make their late night debut
36:23on What Just Happened?
36:25Racers, start your engines,
36:27and may the best drag queen win!
36:30Commence shake down.
36:33Category is statuesque.
36:37First up, Helena Poison.
36:39Wow.
36:40For the statuesque runway,
36:42I decided to take it very literally
36:44and become a statue of Medusa.
36:48Get these motherfucking snakes
36:50out of my motherfucking hair.
36:53Medusa turns people to stone with her gaze,
36:55so did she accidentally look in a mirror,
36:58or did she do it on purpose?
37:00Either way, she's sad and stoned,
37:02just like me.
37:04Next, Perla.
37:06I'm wearing this beautiful Schiaparelli-inspired look.
37:09Ga-orge.
37:11With a mixture of Chanel tweed
37:14and the classic Dior silhouette,
37:16I'm literally a giant bust of Rapunzel.
37:20Someday her prince will come.
37:22This is heavy as shit, and I look great.
37:25I'm serving locked in a tower.
37:27I'm serving mommy issues.
37:29Funny I'd climb her tower.
37:32The Virgo Queen.
37:34Yeah!
37:35I am the Virgo symbol Greek goddess,
37:39Athena, head to toe, dripped in gold, baby.
37:43I am pumping down this runway,
37:45giving a little bit of Brooklyn Heights.
37:47I got my toes on point,
37:49swishing my little cape around,
37:52posing, smile, posing,
37:55smile with your teeth.
37:57She's a lady in the streets
37:59and a Greek in the sheets.
38:01Michaela Couture.
38:03Hieroglyphic.
38:05Tonight on this runway,
38:07I am wearing a Nefertiti-inspired look.
38:10I can see her Nefertitties.
38:12We have beautiful, big-ass shoulders,
38:16and this hat, Miss Mama.
38:18There is no church lady around
38:20who can say they have a hat like me.
38:22Can someone say amen?
38:24If you're good to mommy,
38:26mommy's good to you.
38:29And finally, Minnie Wang.
38:31My inspiration is the giant prawn in Australia.
38:35It is an actual statue of a prawn.
38:38Oh my God, it's literally shrimp on the barbie.
38:41Literally.
38:42I'm giving you crustacean realness.
38:45This wig, look at all of the stones on it.
38:48Look at the ombre, look at the texture.
38:50It's delicious.
38:51So grab some Thousand Island sauce and dip away.
38:55From executive producer, Pranda Rimes.
38:58Jesus Christ.
39:02Welcome, queens.
39:03Hi.
39:04Hello.
39:05It's now time for the judges' critiques.
39:08First up, Helena Poison.
39:10Hello.
39:11I really enjoyed interviewing you.
39:14You were the perfect mix of shady, real, and just present.
39:20Your fierce, malicious was hilarious.
39:23The hot glue gun girls are fighting.
39:26I thought you got so many good little zingers in there.
39:28You even managed to read me for my lace front eyebrows,
39:31which is a very, very dark period in my life
39:33that we don't talk about anymore.
39:35You gave it your all, and I saw a star.
39:39Now your look, this is definitely a memorable moment.
39:43Honey, I'm sitting here hard as a rock right now,
39:46and you wouldn't even know it.
39:48This runway is sensational.
39:52I can't tell when the sleeve ends and your neck starts.
39:56Details like that also make me hard.
40:00From your makeup to the way you performed it,
40:03it is drag race excellence.
40:05You've always given us exactly who you are
40:09and what your drag style is, but different variations of it.
40:12And this, you saved the best for last.
40:15Thank you so much. That means a lot.
40:17Up next, Perla.
40:18Hi.
40:19Hello.
40:20Perla, you're known as the girly with the gift for fashion,
40:24but you're also known as the girly with the gift for chatting,
40:27which makes a great talk show guest.
40:30Editing is key, and you really edited yourself.
40:35I appreciated the fact that you kept your answers concise,
40:39but I did think that there were opportunities
40:42for you to go a little bit deeper
40:44and to, like, reveal a little bit more of yourself.
40:47I think you were almost there a few instances,
40:50but then you would try to cover it up with a joke,
40:52which I also understand, but allow yourself those moments, too,
40:56to, like, really let us in.
40:58You know, you gave me very soft pussy-cut queen in the challenge,
41:02and I really enjoyed that.
41:04Now, this look, I leaned over to Bret.
41:06I said, honey, that's runway.
41:08It just blew me away.
41:10And I may not be a fashion mogul,
41:12because I'm a girl from the hood, honey,
41:14but, baby, this right here gave me everything that I needed.
41:19You look beautiful, and this look is very cool,
41:22but I did not understand it.
41:24You didn't like it?
41:26I liked it. I just didn't read the statuette.
41:28Okay.
41:29She doesn't look like a statue?
41:31No.
41:32Oh.
41:33She's a bust.
41:34You're a bust. Look at those. That's a bust.
41:37These are boobs.
41:40They're busting out.
41:44Next up, the Virgo queen.
41:46You were just a delight to be on set with.
41:50I loved your answer about the misconception of drag queens
41:54and that people think we do this because we have to.
41:56We do it because we love it and because it's our passion,
41:59and I thought that was such a beautiful, soulful thing
42:01for you to be able to say.
42:03There was also that heartfelt moment
42:05when you talked about Stangina.
42:07That felt real, which was really great to see.
42:10As a viewer at home, if you can pull on my heartstring,
42:13honey, I don't remember any other thing that you've said
42:16but how you made my heart feel.
42:18We have not seen you like this,
42:20and you absolutely give statuesque.
42:22You give goddess. You give supermodel.
42:25You were just so regal and elegant,
42:28and I feel the fire is just, like, burning very bright right now.
42:33Thank you so much. Thank you all, judges.
42:37Up next, Michaela Couture.
42:39You were energized yesterday.
42:42Your energy was just, like, palpable
42:45from the minute you came on.
42:47What I really appreciated about you
42:49was the fact that you were seated down in the corner,
42:53but you still managed to turn around
42:56and engage your sisters behind you.
42:59Let me talk about how proud I am of you,
43:03especially being a trans woman,
43:05to occupy national television
43:08and just to be present in your presence.
43:10I would have wanted just a little bit more.
43:13I think it's the trans in me that was like, oh, just...
43:16But, you know, I always want you,
43:18in any position that you occupy,
43:20to let it be known that, yes, I'm trans,
43:23I'm smart, I'm beautiful, I'm witty,
43:25and I am that girl.
43:27Now, this look...
43:29Oh, honey, you took it to the motherland, girl.
43:31Yes, daughter of Isis, okay?
43:34This Nefertiti, the Egyptian queen of grace and beauty,
43:38and you personify that perfectly.
43:40As always, you gave us a beautiful presentation on the runway.
43:43So, great job.
43:45Thank you so much, hon.
43:46Last, but certainly not least, Mini Wang.
43:49Hi.
43:50I really enjoyed you in the talk show.
43:52You were just authentic and raw and charming,
43:55and it was really nice to see you come into your power.
43:58There's this amazing humility about you.
44:02It was so lovely and so engaging.
44:05I thought that you were really funny,
44:07but I did feel in some instances
44:09that you were giving a kind of democratic answer,
44:12and that is a skill.
44:13Give a very high-road answer,
44:15but you also have to know sometimes you have to balance that
44:17by giving the straight truth.
44:19This look is sensational,
44:21and the reference is so fun and so camp
44:24and so Australian.
44:26I love the story about the giant statues in Australia.
44:29I really have to go on Down Under.
44:31Everything's bigger Down Under.
44:33Oh.
44:34Where's my ticket?
44:37After I was told that you were a pit crew gone doll,
44:41I saw the way that you worked
44:43with all of the things that were stacked against you.
44:46I love the way that you did the big hair,
44:48hiding the shoulders.
44:49Big earrings, hiding the shoulders.
44:52You know, you...
44:53No, and I'm not reading you.
44:56Big hips, hiding the shoulders.
45:02Thank you, queens.
45:03While you untuck in the workroom,
45:05the judges will deliberate.
45:12Drinky drink.
45:13Look at that. I can pick it up.
45:14Ay.
45:15Getting to be critiqued by TS,
45:17who is drag race royalty,
45:20it's a crazy experience.
45:22She's an icon.
45:24Truly.
45:25To hear her say so many complimentary things
45:28about strengths, even about weaknesses,
45:30and how to, like, play off them both,
45:33that makes my heart sing.
45:35Nikkaila, how did it feel
45:36to have her sing your praises right to your face?
45:39I feel like my critiques were really good.
45:41Obviously, they wanted more,
45:43which does kind of scare me a little bit
45:45because we were all so good.
45:47Like they're splitting hair.
45:48Yeah.
45:49This is such an even across-the-board challenge.
45:53And also the runways were so good.
45:56They were all, like, top-tier runways.
45:59At this point in time,
46:01I'm kind of on cloud nine.
46:02Like, I really am starting to feel the power
46:05of, like, what I've achieved.
46:08At this point in time in the competition,
46:10I've come too far.
46:11I don't want to go home,
46:12and I'm not going to go home.
46:14Yesterday was, like,
46:15some of the most fun I've had.
46:17I feel like I was the most comfortable in myself
46:19I've been so far in this competition.
46:21And I'm so happy they loved this look.
46:24This is amazing.
46:26Did you make this?
46:27Yeah, it's all hand-painted, hand-sculpted.
46:30I feel on top of the world.
46:33And I'm realizing I could really take this thing.
46:37I think I probably have the weakest
46:40of the critiques out of everyone.
46:42I know in that challenge, I held back a lot.
46:46I definitely think that this might be
46:48my second lip-sync moment.
46:50Everyone loved the look.
46:52Mine is Brooke.
46:53She might not like this look,
46:55but I am obsessed with it.
46:57I feel regal. I feel beautiful.
47:00So I'm, like, I'm feeling nervous,
47:03like, that it really hurts
47:05to be put in this, like, mental place.
47:08I'm a little frustrated listening to Perla.
47:11She's doing what I was doing a few weeks ago,
47:13which is just hearing actual constructive criticism
47:17as negative.
47:18Brooke just said she didn't get statuesque from your look.
47:21She didn't say she didn't love it,
47:23because how could you not?
47:24You look like a fashion model.
47:26I think you might just be being hard on yourself.
47:28They did give you a lot of positive critiques.
47:30I think our conversation getting ready for the runway
47:34brought up a lot of feelings of insecurity in her again.
47:38Honestly, after hearing everyone's take on the critiques,
47:42I don't know who is going to be lip-syncing,
47:44but we all better learn the song or know the song.
47:47It's a five-way lip-sync.
47:49Everyone pick a square. Don't leave it.
47:53All right, just between us loons,
47:55what do we think?
47:56Let's start with Helena Poison.
47:58She really understood the assignment this week.
48:01She was sassy.
48:02She read the girls,
48:04and she got some beautiful heartfelt moments
48:07in there as well.
48:08She's been, like, sitting in the rocket ship
48:10just, like, waiting to take off.
48:12And tonight, she just went straight to the moon.
48:15Mm-hmm.
48:16Sitting in an ensemble cast,
48:18watching the girls all work together,
48:20and then looking for that one standout person,
48:23she did that for me.
48:25Baby, she is a fierce queen.
48:27And that runway, girl.
48:29Her runway look was so elevated.
48:31It was just an absolute chef's kiss for me.
48:34Let's talk about Perla, our little pocket rocket.
48:37She's been in the bottom.
48:38She's been in the top.
48:39She's won a challenge.
48:40So she's kind of been all over the place.
48:42I still don't know if I have a sense of who she is.
48:45In the talk show,
48:46I just needed her to go in a little bit more.
48:49When you're down to five,
48:51this is not the time to be shy.
48:53Right.
48:54This is time to bring the big guns.
48:56I liked her look from a fashion perspective,
48:58because I knew as soon as she walked out
49:00that it was Schiaparelli.
49:01It was all of those references she gave us.
49:04But it didn't give me statuesque.
49:07And compared to everything else on the runway that we saw,
49:11it was lackluster.
49:13Let's talk the Virgo queen.
49:15You know, Virgo's coming off a tough couple of weeks,
49:18but she's turned it around.
49:20She's always kind of like
49:21looking like she's got a secret.
49:23She's kind of like,
49:24I know something you don't know.
49:25But the thing about it, she does.
49:27She does.
49:28It's that it factor.
49:29It's that she knows she's got it all in her.
49:32She was funny.
49:33She was heartfelt.
49:34She was sweet.
49:35She was playful.
49:36She was so poised.
49:38I really like the way that she sat there in the middle
49:41and said, I'm the star of this whole show.
49:44And this runway tonight,
49:45this golden goddess,
49:47like, she really committed to this runway.
49:50What do we think about Miss Michaela Couture?
49:53Here's the thing.
49:54Michaela is beautiful.
49:56She's witty.
49:57She's smart.
49:58I think she has surface-level confidence,
50:00but I don't think that she has an understanding
50:02of her presence yet.
50:04We see it for her.
50:05Mm-hmm.
50:06But she needs to believe it.
50:07Sometimes when people feel like
50:09they have so much to live up to,
50:11they're too busy trying to get to that point
50:13instead of living in the moment.
50:15Yeah.
50:16But her runway?
50:18Oh, about to degrade.
50:20Yes.
50:21She came out.
50:22She ate that up.
50:23Next up, Minnie Wang.
50:25Is it really Minnie?
50:27Minnie's not coming to play, you know?
50:30She's like this quiet, fabulous storm
50:33that's just brewing.
50:34It's interesting that she is not a working queen,
50:36so this is not how she makes her money.
50:38Right.
50:39She's literally here for the art.
50:41Right, right, right.
50:42I think it's kind of served her
50:44to not be deep into the drag world, you know?
50:48She's such a smart queen in so many ways
50:52that we've seen so many different sides of her drag,
50:56but there's still always this core authenticity
50:59of who she is.
51:02All right, I think we've made our decision.
51:05Bring back our girls.
51:07Hold up, honey.
51:08That's my line.
51:10Bring back our girls.
51:13Welcome back, queens.
51:15Based on your performance in the challenge
51:17and your runway presentations,
51:19we have made some decisions.
51:21The Virgo Queen,
51:23your goddess look was heavenly,
51:25and in the talk show,
51:27you really did yourself justice.
51:30Helena Poison,
51:31in the challenge,
51:32you served talking head,
51:34and on the runway,
51:35you were stone-cold stunning.
51:39Helena Poison,
51:40con-drag-ulations,
51:42you are the winner of this week's Maxi Challenge.
51:44Oh, finally!
51:46I'm proud of you!
51:48I got a win,
51:49but I've also secured my spot in the final four.
51:52Feels correct.
51:53It feels very correct.
51:54You have won.
51:56Actually, to tell you what you've won...
52:00Oh, my God!
52:02Oh, wow!
52:04Jimbo!
52:05Hey, everybody.
52:06Oh, wow!
52:08Jimbo!
52:09What the fuck is Jimbo doing here?
52:12I'm late for work.
52:14You've won...
52:16a cash prize of $5,000!
52:19Oh, my God!
52:21Sponsored by House of Jimbo
52:23and, of course, my golden boobies.
52:25I was gonna say golden boobies. Yay!
52:27They're priceless.
52:30Oh, wow!
52:31I have $5,000 and a box of titties from Jimbo.
52:35You're rich now.
52:36Yay!
52:38You look gorgeous, Jimbo.
52:40Oh, so do you.
52:41We could be twins.
52:42We could be.
52:43You wanna try on this crown?
52:47Thank you, Jimbo.
52:48We are so proud of you.
52:51Thank you so much for eliminating me.
52:53Anytime.
52:54Speaking of which,
52:55Sashay away.
52:57Why?!
53:00All right, I guess I'll go.
53:02Bye, Jimbo.
53:07I'm a winner, baby!
53:08Yay!
53:11See you later.
53:13Congrats, Helena.
53:14You may move to the back of the stage.
53:16Thank you all so much.
53:20Take my bin of money and titties.
53:26Virgo Queen, you are safe.
53:30Congrats, babe.
53:35Mini Wang, you are safe.
53:42That means Perla, Michaela Couture,
53:45you are both up for elimination.
53:48Two queens stand before us.
53:52Prior to tonight,
53:53you were asked to prepare a lip-sync performance
53:56of Desperate Measures by Mariana's Trench.
53:59This is your last chance to impress us
54:01and save yourself from elimination.
54:07The time has come
54:09for you to lip-sync
54:11for your life.
54:17Good luck.
54:18And don't fuck it up.
54:25Gonna make a heartthrob out of me
54:29Just a bit of minor surgery
54:33These desperate times call for desperate measures
54:40Have a piece of American dream
54:44Open up and swallow on your knees
54:48And say thank you
54:49I'd like some desperate measures, please
54:55For a first-ever
54:57This feels kinda last-ditch
54:59I get this just got kinda drastic
55:03Trust us, you just fell off the bus, suckers
55:07Yeah, well, payback is a motherfucker
55:14Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

55:39I can't let this, I can't let this go
55:42Go forever, for worse or better
55:45My poor heart will only surrender
55:49Go forever, for worse or better

56:34Kiss me just once for luck

56:40I can't let this, I can't let this go
56:43Yeah!
56:45All right!
56:47Word!
56:49Word!
56:51Queens, we have made our decision.
56:58Michaela Couture, shantay you stay.
57:04You may join the others.
57:13Perla, the world is your oyster,
57:17and we can't wait to see how you make it shine.
57:20I love you all. You're a fucking icon.
57:23Thank you, baby.
57:24Just everything you say is so good.
57:26Now sashay away.
57:30I love you, Perla.
57:32I love you all.
57:34Now why be a diamond
57:36when you can be a motherfucking pearl?
57:47Top five, bitch.
57:49I fucking made it all the way to top five.
57:52I may have doubted myself at some points.
57:54I may have gotten in my head,
57:56but I'm so fucking proud of myself.
57:58Ah, this was just such an amazing experience.
58:01And now I'm going to go through everyone's alcove
58:04and cut up their wigs.
58:06Bye.
58:10Our fierce final four.
58:13Congratulations, you live to slay another day.
58:18The world has never needed the magic of drag more.
58:21Remember, stay true, north, strong, and fierce.
58:27Yes, now let the music play.
58:30You wear it well.
58:31Lipstick, lipstick, paint it on.
58:34You wear it well.
58:35You sure suits you.
58:39Work it for me.
58:40Work it for me, me.
58:42You wear it.
58:43You wear it.
58:44You wear it well.
58:46Next time on Canada's Drag Race.
58:48Surprise, it's actually a top five.
58:51For your final maxi challenge,
58:53you'll drop your own singles.
58:55Oh, my God.
58:56I love Orville Peck.
58:57I'm so excited to see what everyone's written.
58:59I want to show off a little bit.
59:03That was so good.
59:05We've got to give the kids a show.
59:07This is a great time to stand out.
59:09There is 100,000 doulas on the line.
