FunTranscript
00:00Our fierce final four.
00:07One of you will be Canada's next drag superstar.
00:11Helena Poison, the spooky pop punk princess from Toronto.
00:17You're a little vamp.
00:19You've always given us exactly who you are,
00:24but different variations of it.
00:26It is drag race excellence.
00:29Nini Wang.
00:30High comedy, high camp.
00:33Everything's bigger down under.
00:34Oh.
00:35Your drag persona is authentically you.
00:38Help.
00:39I was just mesmerized.
00:43Michaela Couture.
00:45The prom queen is all grown up.
00:47The makeover is complete.
00:50You are absolute fire out there on that stage.
00:53This is where you shine.
00:54This is where you come alive.
00:57The Virgo queen.
00:59You have this swag about you.
01:01You have star quality.
01:03You got a little sparkle, let it shine.
01:05You're really showing us different sides of you.
01:07The fire is just like burning very bright right now.
01:11Who gonna help me up?
01:12I'm not just a one trick pony.
01:14I've showed you versatility.
01:17I worked hard and I'm a bad bitch.
01:19No one does what I do.
01:21There isn't really anything that I can't do.
01:23I'm here to win.
01:25It's time to leave it all on the floor.
01:34Come on.
01:37I just sent home Miss Perla.
01:40I love you so much Perla.
01:42Bye cunt.
01:43JK, I love you all so much.
01:46She is an absolute icon, legend, star.
01:50I think she absolutely annihilated this competition.
01:53Bye Perla.
01:54I'm just so proud of her
01:56and honored to be her friend and sister.
01:59Yay us, top four.
02:03Hello, hello.
02:05Hey sisters.
02:07Oh wow.
02:08Hi.
02:09It's so pretty in here.
02:11Brooklyn renovated.
02:13Congratulations on your win.
02:14Thank you for the box of titties.
02:16Oh, it's my pleasure.
02:18Jimbo really is a Canadian drag success story.
02:22It's such a dream to be able to come on the show,
02:25to leave, to be able to tour the world,
02:27to gift, to be able to come back
02:29and to support my sisters.
02:31Jimbo is like the OG weirdo from Canada
02:34to have won prize money from an artist like that.
02:38It aligns so much with how I do my drag
02:41that it just feels very special and very correct.
02:44How are you guys feeling going into top four?
02:47So happy and like overjoyed.
02:49Surprised it's actually a top five.
02:52You already got your baby.
02:53Bitch, get the fuck out.
02:54You have a crown on your head.
02:56I guess if there's any proof that it doesn't end
02:58when you're eliminated, it's me.
03:01I still remember you episode one.
03:03You were like giving me the eye because I was pit crew.
03:06Oh yes.
03:07And you were licking your lips the whole time.
03:10It's my wild.
03:11I do remember that.
03:13Do you have any questions for me going into the top four?
03:17Having done Drag Race three times,
03:19is there anything that you would say to someone
03:21who's coming into the franchise?
03:22I would just say don't spend too much time
03:25looking at what other people are doing.
03:27Really stay focused and true to your own heart
03:30and follow your own dreams.
03:31My mom always said have the best time
03:33and other people will follow.
03:34I'm absorbing everything that Jimbo's saying in this moment.
03:38Great energy, great vibes, great advice,
03:42and great top tops.
03:44Oh my God, the babies.
03:46I have a crown and one of you gorgeous girls
03:49is going to get a crown.
03:50Who's it going to be?
03:51Please me.
03:52It's going to be me, baby.
03:55I think I hear my jet calling.
03:57I guess I've got to go.
03:58You better get out of drag.
03:59You should get out of drag too.
04:00But I'm not in drag.
04:02She's a woman.
04:05I just want to take her crown off and put it on my own head.
04:08Like let's see if it fits.
04:10I think it will.
04:13I'm just feeling on top of the world
04:15and I'm ready to fight these girls tooth and nail
04:18for that crown.
04:19$4,000 in titties.
04:22The girls need to move out the way and shout
04:24because the queen of the north is pumping through.
04:27Tucker.
04:28Tucker.
04:30My eyes on the prize and there's no way anyone
04:33is going to come between me and my title.
04:37Bring it on.
04:39I am craving that crown.
04:42I am craving that crown as much as I want that dim sum train,
04:45baby.
04:48The winner of Canada's Drag Race receives the pleasure
04:51of $100,000 thanks to Trojan.
04:55With Tracy Melshore, Brad Goreski, and Brooklyn Heights.
05:00With tonight's extra special guest judge, Oracle Pack.
05:10Yeah.
05:12It's a new day in the work room and I'm feeling like a winner,
05:15baby.
05:17Everything that I've worked for is paying off.
05:20This is literally a dream.
05:22Elena, welcome to the winner's circle.
05:25I'm finally a winner.
05:27You deserve it.
05:28Just in the nick of time.
05:30I've never had to lip sync.
05:31Mikaela has a win, Virgo has two wins,
05:33but they've both also been on the bottom and had to lip sync.
05:36Who would you all say individually is your biggest competition?
05:39I would say Virgo is my biggest competition
05:41because you're a singer, you're a writer,
05:43you throw down on the stage.
05:46I would have to say you as well,
05:48just because I've come very close to winning
05:51every challenge you've won.
05:53I'm going to say you two.
05:54Oh my God.
05:56Who's your biggest competition?
05:57Minnie has never been in the bottom and has two wins.
06:02So I would say you're the biggest competition.
06:04Fair. I take that.
06:06Minnie's competition because she's funny.
06:09Helena's competition because she's very unique.
06:12And Mikaela's competition because she is a diva.
06:16I'm competition because I'm the number one
06:18it girl, most talented professional,
06:20and the best drag queen here.
06:26All right.
06:27All right, let's do this.
06:29Canada.
06:34My fierce finalists,
06:36Mikaela Couture,
06:37Helena Poison,
06:39Minnie Wang,
06:40and the Virgo Queen.
06:42You've reached the glitter end,
06:45but to claw your way to the win,
06:48a pussycat has to leave the dolls behind.
06:52If you scratch my drift.
06:56Ay.
06:58Greetings, Glampions.
07:02Oh, this is Ova.
07:04Hey.
07:05Our fabulous four.
07:07For your final maxi challenge of the season,
07:10you'll launch your charisma, uniqueness,
07:12nerve, and talent into the stratosphere
07:15as you drop your own singles.
07:17Oh, yeah.
07:18All right.
07:19Okay.
07:20To dance your way to the top,
07:21you'll collab with our resident choreographer,
07:24Hollywood Jade.
07:25Yes.
07:26Here we go.
07:27And to help you show ponies, steal the spotlight,
07:30your vocal coach will be none other than
07:32country music trailblazer, Orville Peck.
07:35Whoa.
07:36Oh, my God.
07:37This is so wild.
07:39I love Orville Peck.
07:40He's so funny and such a huge fan and supporter of drag.
07:45But first, you'll unpack with a very special guest
07:48who's out of this world.
07:49Oh.
07:50Who could it be?
07:51What could it be?
07:53It's Venus, right?
07:54Racers, start your engines.
07:58And may the best drag queen win.
08:01Woo.
08:07I love Venus.
08:09Hi, baby.
08:10Hi.
08:11Venus with the penis.
08:13Look at your vajazzle.
08:15You look rich.
08:16Well, I am.
08:18Sorry, let me take in this room.
08:19Yeah, girl.
08:20Is that her?
08:21It's huge.
08:22I'll have to take that in for my little peanut head.
08:25Girl.
08:26Congratulations.
08:28Girl, top four.
08:30This has been a fucking journey.
08:32How has the journey been?
08:33It was a strong start,
08:35and then it went whoop-de-whoop-whoa.
08:37Double check.
08:38It just is a testament to sometimes you fall.
08:40You gotta get back up.
08:41You never give up.
08:42Who are we doing this for?
08:43Honestly, I think about myself.
08:45Like, myself as a young child,
08:47living through poverty, being biracial.
08:51I'm an indigenous girl.
08:52They don't get to see people living their authentic self,
08:56being powerful in their authentic self,
08:58and like, yes, this takes a lot of fucking work,
09:01but it's worth it.
09:02I'm so proud of you.
09:04Do you have any questions for me?
09:06Yeah, where'd you get your work done?
09:08I mean, how has this year been, like, raining?
09:11First of all, great fall.
09:13Getting to work with, like, you know, two-spirit kids
09:16and going to indigenous communities,
09:18that is worth everything.
09:20Drag is about building up these communities
09:23and, like, showing queer joy, so.
09:25I've watched Venus.
09:27I've seen what she does,
09:29and I just, like, want to continue that legacy.
09:32Do you want to do a little photo shoot with me?
09:34Oh, my God, right now?
09:35I want to get naked.
09:36Okay.
09:37I'm feeling pumped.
09:38I'm feeling ready.
09:40Oh, my God.
09:41Hi, Alex.
09:42Hi, fashion.
09:43Hi, fashion.
09:44Gorgeous.
09:45I'm going to, like, touch you.
09:46I want you to touch me.
09:47Okay.
09:48I'm trying to touch Venus.
09:49I'm trying to absorb her winter juju.
09:52I want some of that winning energy on me.
09:55Wrap me up in it.
09:56Beautiful.
09:57We got it.
09:58Hi.
09:59Our reigning queen, it's Venus,
10:01and she got some tickle bitties.
10:03Nice to meet you.
10:04Tatted up, bad girl.
10:06Yeah, just a little.
10:07Happy to see a punk bitch in the finale.
10:10Yeah.
10:11How does it feel?
10:12It feels correct.
10:13You knew you were going to be here.
10:14Yeah, yeah.
10:15There was a moment there where I thought, like,
10:16hmm, well, shit.
10:17But I bounced back, found my confidence again,
10:20and here we are.
10:21And here you are.
10:22Here we are.
10:23What was, like, the hardest part for you?
10:24The hardest part for me was really getting out of my own way.
10:27While my I don't give a fuck attitude helped get me here,
10:30it's something I've had to overcome while I'm here,
10:33because not giving a fuck is just an easy way of being like,
10:37I'm too scared.
10:39Who are you doing this for?
10:40All of the people that maybe believe in me more than I do sometimes.
10:44Everyone who's supported me and lifted me up
10:46throughout these past 10 years, I'm doing it for them.
10:49Well, they believe in you.
10:50Yeah.
10:51Do you believe you can win?
10:52Look at the material, honey.
10:54We got the material.
10:55We got a lot of tools, girl.
10:56Do you want to do a photo shoot?
10:57Yeah, are we going to get naked?
10:58Do you want to get naked?
11:00I'm really good at lying down and looking sexy.
11:06Eyes to the camera.
11:07Lots of, yes.
11:08This is definitely one way to get to know each other.
11:10Right.
11:13Hi, baby.
11:14Holy fuck.
11:16You were Picru, right?
11:17Yeah.
11:18Okay.
11:19From Picru to drag queen.
11:20It's been a journey of, like, confidence building for me in drag.
11:23Never been in the bottom.
11:25Oh.
11:26She's never had to lip sync for her life.
11:28When I said I was on top, I never lied.
11:29I did.
11:30I'm fine.
11:31She's won two maxis.
11:32Work.
11:33And a mini.
11:34Check, check, check.
11:35Mini.
11:36Mini for mini.
11:37What's the biggest, like, learning moment?
11:39Like, when you're like, oh, wow.
11:40I didn't know this about myself.
11:42I can just, like, minify anything.
11:44Minify.
11:45I love that.
11:46You can really do anything as long as you, like, put your spin on it
11:51and, like, you are authentically yourself.
11:53I'm going to perform in, like, the way that I want to perform.
11:56Nobody can replicate that.
11:58Do you have any questions for me?
12:00Is there anything that you wish someone had warned you about?
12:04Ooh.
12:05There's so many people that will love you,
12:07and there's a lot of people that maybe just won't.
12:10At the end of the day,
12:14pay them no mind,
12:15because as long as you can go to sleep at night
12:17and know that you tried your best,
12:18it doesn't matter what the haters say,
12:20because the love is so much stronger.
12:22I love that.
12:23Can we get naked?
12:24That's so funny you should mention that.
12:27Ooh.
12:28Oh, it's not so many under there.
12:30I didn't have enough budget to make another nude illusion,
12:33so I just thought, tuck it back, let's go.
12:36Beautiful. We're just going to give you...
12:37Oh, that's gorgeous.
12:39We have the same vibe going on.
12:40I know, we do.
12:41Okay, this is great.
12:43This competition is allowing me to take my love and passion for drag,
12:48bringing it center stage.
12:49Oh, my God, this is such a dream.
12:52Thank you so much, Minnie.
12:53Yay, we did it.
12:56Hi, baby.
12:58Hello, Mikaela.
13:00Top four.
13:01Top motherfucking four.
13:02So how has this been for you?
13:04I learned that I can be very uptight with myself.
13:08I grew up with a single Black mother,
13:11and the typical story of the single Black mother is,
13:15you work hard, you have to be perfect, perfect, perfect,
13:19and that's kind of how I carried my own life.
13:21If I wasn't perfect, then I'm not making the people that love me proud.
13:26I had a moment where I was just like, enough's enough.
13:29I deserve to just be happy.
13:31I deserve to...
13:32Have that grace.
13:33Yes, girl, I am breathing.
13:38Just think of younger me, and what would they say,
13:42seeing me where I am now,
13:46and not just in this competition,
13:49but as an adult.
13:51I thought I was just going to grow old and look like a man.
13:58I want to do it for literally just any Black queer youth out there
14:02and let them know that this is possible.
14:05I would tell younger me, you are doing everything right.
14:08You are doing everything right.
14:11There we go. Beautiful.
14:14Gorgeous expression, baby.
14:17It's so surreal.
14:18Watching Venus.
14:19Divine, divine.
14:20Bitch, this is fab.
14:22I could be in that spot next year.
14:25Potentially.
14:30Oh my God!
14:32For this final Maxi Challenge,
14:35we are writing a whole ass song.
14:37We are recording it with Arvo Peck.
14:40We're all about to be masked for masks today.
14:43Can't wait to work with all of you.
14:44I'm so excited to see what everyone's written.
14:46First up, we have Helena Poison.
14:48I'm up first.
14:49I'm not feeling that nervous
14:50because I know I'm going to kill this
14:52and show these girls how it's done.
14:54Tell me about your song.
14:55What's the inspiration behind these lyrics?
14:57My song's called Poison.
14:59Kind of about my journey here,
15:00being really stuck in my head and heart on myself.
15:03Reminding myself to just do what you do
15:05because that's what they like best.
15:07Do you want to do a take?
15:09Been a weirdo from the start.
15:11Freaky style concept art.
15:13Out of my mind, doesn't make you nervous.
15:15Poison control is out of service.
15:17Just think about a little bit of dynamic
15:19between each line so that we don't end up
15:21just getting a little bit monotone
15:23throughout the whole thing.
15:24Give dark and shade to it.
15:26Between Orville and my sisters,
15:27I feel very encouraged and comfortable
15:29to just be a full idiot.
15:31Bottomed ones, but mostly topped.
15:33Spitters are quitters, I can't be stopped.
15:35What does the line
15:36spitters are quitters, I can't be stopped?
15:38It's like, don't spit out the poison.
15:40Oh, got it.
15:41Also a joke about blowjobs.
15:42Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.
15:44Got it.
15:46It's because he's not a spitter, that's why.
15:49Or a quitter.
15:50Poison.
15:52Don't think too much, just sip some poison.
15:55The poison, I think make it like breathier.
15:57Like poison.
15:58Yeah, exactly.
15:59Poison.
16:00Okay.
16:01Poison.
16:03Poison.
16:05Poison.
16:06Poison.
16:08Poison.
16:10Poison.
16:14I love it.
16:15I think we got it.
16:16Tell me about your song.
16:18I'm a Virgo.
16:19I wanted to add a lot of branding
16:21that had to do with like the stars.
16:23Love it.
16:24And me being a star.
16:25Kind of just like an anthem to like inspire people.
16:28I love that.
16:29Virgo's back with a brand new track.
16:31Quiet confidence to run a Zodiac.
16:33I can't stop thinking about how she looks
16:34like a gay inspector gadget.
16:37Free your mind.
16:40You're one of a kind.
16:44I want to show off a little bit.
16:45This is the time to show off.
16:49Shut the fuck up.
16:51That was incredible.
16:52You're hitting every note.
16:53It sounds great.
16:54Like really cast the spell there.
16:56You know what I mean?
16:57Like give us the whole like stars of the line.
16:59Give it some drama.
17:00Cast a spell right now.
17:01What do you mean?
17:04It helps like close your eyes
17:05and just like perform it for us.
17:07Have you ever been in drag before?
17:09Yeah.
17:10It's very uncomfortable.
17:11All right.
17:12That's the right answer.
17:15Free your mind.
17:18You're one of a kind.
17:21I'm letting go.
17:22I'm letting go of my fears.
17:24I'm singing.
17:26The stars have aligned.
17:33Yes.
17:35That was so good.
17:37Next up, Mini Wang.
17:38Hi.
17:39Tell me about your song.
17:41It's dumb.
17:42It's stupid.
17:43It's silly.
17:44There's no hidden message.
17:46It's camp, right?
17:47Yeah, it's camp.
17:48Okay.
17:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:50We love it.
17:51Everyone is doing,
17:52my journey is inspirational.
17:53I'm talking to like you,
17:55downtrodden person.
17:57I'm like, no, fuck that.
17:59This is a story about a pit crew member
18:01turned drag queen.
18:03Came into the comp in blue.
18:05Waving that flag, I yelled, oh, pit crew.
18:07Looking around, not a friend to be found.
18:09Xanem, she said, you're a mean girl now.
18:11Mini Wang is a total idiot,
18:14and I'm obsessed with her.
18:16All aboard Wang Express train.
18:18She does us great.
18:20It's a wang-derful world.
18:23I have a few thoughts.
18:25Give us even more contrast.
18:26You know, maybe start off really like,
18:28this is the story about a pit crew member
18:29turned drag queen.
18:31This is the story about a pit crew member
18:32turned drag queen.
18:35That's the one.
18:36The underdog who's built like a god.
18:38All aboard Wang Express train.
18:41It's a wang-derful world.
18:43Yeah.
18:45That was wang-derful.
18:46I'm a fan of the wang.
18:47Come on, girly.
18:49Oh my God, you're so dumb.
18:50Mikaela Couture.
18:52Hi.
18:53Do you want to tell me about your song?
18:54This song essentially is just a testament
18:56to like the black women
18:57that have always supported me.
18:58It is a bad bitch anthem.
19:00I haven't really sang in like years.
19:04I am trans and once I hit puberty,
19:07I was like, oop, let me not sing anymore.
19:09The voice got deeper.
19:11I didn't feel like myself anymore.
19:13I stopped singing and that's unfortunate.
19:15I'm a little nervous.
19:16This is going to be like the first time
19:17anyone's heard me sing in a while.
19:19You're going to shine through.
19:20I can feel it.
19:21She gon' never stop.
19:22She let that booty pop.
19:24The goddess of your dreams,
19:27she turns it out.
19:30You sound incredible.
19:31Oh, thank you.
19:32And you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
19:34She's black and powerful,
19:37so step aside and make some.
19:41Oh, fuck.
19:42I am missing this note.
19:45I can tell you've got it.
19:46Like, it's not too high for you.
19:48I think it's more of a like,
19:49you're getting nervous
19:50and you think it's going to be too high.
19:51You need to do the complete opposite
19:53and just like go for it.
19:54And if you fuck it up a couple times,
19:55that's what we're here to do.
19:56We're going to get it.
19:57But it's not too high for you.
19:58Okay.
19:59You can definitely get it.
20:00And make some way.
20:02Make some way.
20:05Just go for it.
20:06You have it.
20:07Okay.
20:08You so have it.
20:09Just fucking give it.
20:10Can I cuss?
20:11Make some way.
20:13What?
20:14You had it before.
20:15Don't overthink it.
20:16The only thing standing between me
20:19and that motherfucking crown
20:21is this damn high note.
20:23Y'all did so good.
20:25I'm so excited.
20:26I'm going to see you on the main stage tomorrow.
20:28Thank you for today.
20:29Thank you so much.
20:32And now it is time for choreography
20:35with Hollywood Jade.
20:36Come on, hair.
20:37You know, what type of performer
20:40would you classify Helena Poison as?
20:42A walk back and forth seductively to the beat
20:45kind of girl.
20:46My sincere goal is to stretch all of you
20:50as performers.
20:51This is the finale.
20:52We've got to give the kids a show.
20:54This is something I'm not this strong at,
20:56so I just have to work twice as hard.
20:58One visual I have is some like,
21:00like something very grand and like,
21:03hello, like we're serving poison
21:05because I'm doing like a lot of just like
21:07saying my name like poison.
21:09Up, throw it to the side.
21:11Up, throw it to the side.
21:13Five, six, seven, and eight.
21:14Uh-huh.
21:15It'll go.
21:16That's fast.
21:17It goes.
21:18I've got to figure out a way to make this choreo
21:20work with how I perform,
21:22work with my song,
21:23and present it the best way possible
21:25to the judges.
21:27I have to kill this challenge.
21:29Like I'm not losing this challenge.
21:33Tell me about your track.
21:34It's very soulful.
21:35Uh-huh.
21:36A testimony to me and black women everywhere.
21:39Stand in your power.
21:40You are that girl.
21:41I can get behind this.
21:42Okay.
21:43And I think I've got something that feels like that.
21:46Talking about standing in your power,
21:47I think we're going to start with this open one.
21:51Open one.
21:52Now I've worked with Miss Hollywood too,
21:55and she likes to make me sweat.
21:57Push it over and push it over.
22:00She believes in my capabilities and what I can do
22:03and always pushes me to go that one extra step further.
22:07And land four.
22:08Yeah, and you want to land down in a good old...
22:10Come on, deep plie.
22:12Put that thing on the floor.
22:13On the floor.
22:15Two and three, four, five, six.
22:18I got some of it.
22:21Channel all of that black girl magic
22:23into a $100,000 victory.
22:24Period.
22:25Yes.
22:29Who's ready to step?
22:30I work with Hollywood outside of here,
22:33and he don't play.
22:35Not even for one minute.
22:37Give it to me, Miss Jade.
22:39Tell me about your song.
22:40It's got a little bit of Virgo astrology in there.
22:43Okay.
22:44A little witchiness,
22:45but of course it's like bad bitch energy.
22:47All right, well back it up. Let's go.
22:49I don't want him to hold back.
22:50I want to be doing everything the dancers are doing
22:52and more.
22:53Three and four, five, six, seven, eight.
22:58You've got length.
22:59Okay.
23:00Use it.
23:01Yeah, like push through all of it.
23:02Someone's going home with $100,000.
23:04In my experience,
23:05the person who is the most detailed
23:07takes the prize.
23:08Yeah.
23:09So let's be detailed.
23:10Pull this back.
23:11Up and down.
23:12Uh-huh.
23:13Up.
23:14Stretch your arms.
23:15I'm a known dancer.
23:16I'm known for performing,
23:17so I don't want to just reach that level of expectation.
23:21I want to surpass it.
23:25In terms of movement,
23:26where on the spectrum do you fall?
23:29She's a solid six.
23:31Six is good.
23:32Six is a pass.
23:33And by the time I'm done with you,
23:34it'll be like a 7.5 or an 8.
23:36Now those extra two points to the 10,
23:38it's what you bring to it.
23:39It's how you feel it.
23:41I'm willing to push myself.
23:42If you give me an 8 count,
23:43let's see how we go.
23:44Think about what you're saying lyrically
23:47and how we can mesh these two together.
23:49Okay.
23:50I want it to feel like an extension of what you've written.
23:53One, two, three, four.
23:55Even though it's like 8 counts,
23:57it feels like 800 counts.
23:59Think about making everything as crisp as possible.
24:02Ta-ta-ti-ki-ta-ti-ki-ta-ti-ta-ti-ta.
24:05I missed this bit.
24:06He's showing me the ti-ti-ti-ta-ta-ka-ka-ka-ka keys,
24:10and I'm probably getting the ti-ka-ki-ka.
24:13It's fast.
24:14She's quick.
24:15She is quick.
24:16Where's she running from?
24:17We're running towards $100,000.
24:19Yes.
24:26Brooklyn?
24:27Tracy?
24:28Brad?
24:29Old Bill?
24:32It's coronation day,
24:33and I feel like I'm crowning.
24:37All right.
24:39The last one.
24:40We need this performance to be the best we've ever done.
24:43This is the last thing standing between me and that crown.
24:48So, Virgo, you better bring it.
24:51Somebody's about to get a crown tonight.
24:54This is the biggest challenge of the fucking competition,
24:58and there is $100,000 on the line.
25:01So, we need to get in drag rules.
25:19Yes!
25:20So pretty!
25:23Welcome to the main stage of Canada's drag race.
25:26He's my rose.
25:27And thorn.
25:28It's superstar stylist Brad Goreski.
25:31Hi, Brooke.
25:32Hey, Bradley.
25:33Can you believe this is the end?
25:35Stick a fork in me, and I'll get it.
25:37I'm going to get it.
25:38I'm going to get it.
25:39I'm going to get it.
25:40I'm going to get it.
25:41I'm going to get it.
25:42I'm going to get it.
25:43I'm going to get it.
25:44I'm going to get it.
25:45I'm going to get it.
25:46I'm going to get it.
25:47Stick a fork in me.
25:48We're done.
25:49Ooh, which end?
25:50Maybe it's not a fork I want.
25:53And she's my number one.
25:54It's Tracy Melchor.
25:56Hey, boo.
25:57Hey, baby.
25:58Tracy, what are we going to do if you ever go solo?
26:00I guess you'd be lost without a Tracy.
26:05And it's country music icon Mr. Show Pony himself, Orville Peck.
26:09Howdy, Brooke.
26:10Howdy, Orville.
26:12When do you find the most inspiration to write music?
26:15In the dead of night.
26:16Ooh, sign me up.
26:18This week, we challenge our final four to become pop sensations
26:22as they drop their debut singles.
26:25Racers, start your engines.
26:27And may the best drag queen reign.
26:31She's about to take flight.
26:33It's Mikaela Couture performing To The Sky, Limitless.
26:38Baby, the name is Mikaela Couture.
26:41She gon' shake it to the top.
26:43They're watching how that booty drop.
26:45It's never too late to seize the day.
26:47Just get yourself up and put your head in the game.
26:49Cause she gon' make it.
26:50Ain't no backin' down.
26:56I'm gonna take this to the sky.
27:01I'm limitless.
27:04Can't tame me cause I shine so bright.
27:09We gon' make it to the end.
27:11You can't break me.
27:13I was born to be free.
27:15No checkin' me.
27:17I'm too zesty.
27:19She's black and powerful.
27:22So step aside and make some way.
27:27Angels, the world is gonna beat you down.
27:30But it's how you get back up that makes you a superstar.
27:34I'm gonna take this to the sky.
27:41Can't tame me cause I shine so bright.
27:47We gon' make it to the end.
27:55Big things come in mini packages.
27:58And she's about to top the charts with her new hit,
28:01Wangderful.
28:02This is the story about a pit crew member turned track line.
28:06Came into the comp in blue.
28:08Waving the flag, I yelled, oh, pit crew.
28:10Looking around, not a friend to be found.
28:12Xenotist said, you're a mean girl now.
28:14No one knew what I could do.
28:17But I had a clue.
28:19Do you sew or do you glue?
28:21Wangderful, mini Wang.
28:23Like assholes, you can have your opinion.
28:27If you're a fan of the Wang,
28:31I'll call you my minion.
28:33Is that an accent?
28:34Banana, banana, tomato, tomato.
28:37Time went on and the queens went home.
28:39But no ones that I say, oh, no.
28:42Like a chashu belt, I'm so hot right now.
28:44Minion to maxi whims.
28:48Honor to my family kin.
28:52The underdog who's built like a god.
28:54All aboard.
28:55One express train.
28:56She deserves to ride.
28:59Wangderful, mini Wang.
29:01I've changed your opinion.
29:03So you like Wangs now, do you?
29:05You're now a fan of the Wang.
29:07Big Wangs or small Wangs?
29:09You now are my minion.
29:13It's a Wangderful world.
29:15Yay!
29:17Wangderful!
29:19Performing her deadly single, Poison, is Helena.
29:27Been a weirdo from the start.
29:29Freaky style, concept art.
29:31Out of my mind, doesn't make you nervous.
29:33Poison control is out of service.
29:36I'm the venom and the antidote.
29:38Too many voices in my head.
29:40I'll put them all to bed and serve them.
29:42Poison.
29:44Don't think too much, just sip some.
29:46Poison.
29:48From now on we're serving.
29:50Poison.
29:52Check the label, I think she's.
29:54Poison.
29:55Poison.
29:57Elevated, caffeinated.
29:59Not sketched out, but illustrated.
30:01Sweet but proved I'm literate.
30:03He's laced with arsenic.
30:05Bottomed once, but mostly topped.
30:07Spitters are quitters, I can't be stopped.
30:09Voted best mug of the season.
30:11When I take that crown, you'll know the reason I'm.
30:13I probably should have remembered this earlier.
30:17I am.
30:19Poison.
30:21Don't think too much, just sip some.
30:23Poison.
30:25From now on we're serving.
30:27Poison.
30:29Check the label, I think she's.
30:31Poison.
30:33Poison.
30:37Killed it.
30:39Poison.
30:43She's about to eclipse the competition.
30:45Here's the Virgo Queen performing her single,

31:09Oh, free your mind.

34:11Ooh.
34:13Beautiful.
34:15I am wearing custom kink engineering.
34:17I'm wearing a latex
34:19one-armed mermaid gown.
34:21She is sweaty
34:23and slimy and absolutely
34:25stunning. This look is
34:27tight. Skin tight.
34:29I'm slithering down the runway
34:31giving them a little alien,
34:33a little monster, a little glamour
34:35queen. I'm just giving them
34:37pure poison. I got a lethal
34:39dose of her eleganza.
34:41Mini Wang.
34:43She's serving
34:45imperial Asian
34:47goddess.
34:49It is grand.
34:51It's drama mama.
34:53She's Mel burning up the stage.
34:55Oh no.
34:57Oh no.
34:59Throughout this whole competition, I've brought
35:01my culture from both Australia
35:03and also my Chinese
35:05culture. It's something that is uniquely
35:07me. I couldn't be more proud
35:09to show what the term
35:11Asian excellence means. And
35:13finally, Michaela Couture.
35:15Wow.
35:17Yes. I'm in
35:19this head-to-toe white
35:21wedding gown. This
35:23is giving opulence.
35:25This is giving ethereal goddess.
35:27Ebony in ivory.
35:29I want to bring my version of
35:31a wedding gown to the runway.
35:33I'm all grown up looking
35:35like my higher
35:37true artistic self.
35:39So pretty. Gorgeous.
35:43Welcome queens.
35:45Our final four.
35:47Yesterday, you all did a photo shoot
35:49with our season four winner Venus.
35:51Virgo, here is your best
35:53shot.
35:55Aww.
35:57So sexy.
35:59You look amazing. Tell me about your journey
36:01to get to this point. Life for
36:03me has not always been
36:05handed to me.
36:07Being from poverty,
36:09being Black, coming
36:11up from the hood,
36:13you know, it's really just made me the
36:15person that I am. I used to close my
36:17eyes at night and just wish that I could wake
36:19up in a different place.
36:21But without all of that struggle,
36:23I wouldn't be the person I am.
36:25One thing this experience has taught me,
36:27if something happens and it
36:29strikes you down, you just gotta put your head up,
36:31keep pushing.
36:33That's me, Virgo out.
36:35Peace and hair green.
36:37Okay.
36:39Helena Poison. Hello.
36:41Here is your best shot.
36:43Ooh, yes.
36:45Tell me about your journey to get to this moment.
36:47It's been an incredible, amazing
36:49journey of
36:51honestly just hustle
36:53and perseverance and
36:55unwavering, unapologetic self-expression.
36:57I fought really hard
36:59to get where I am. Being an
37:01alternative weirdo, I would mold myself
37:03to fit in, but I never change who
37:05I am. I think I have the
37:07seasoning and
37:09maturity to carry
37:11a title as big as
37:13Canada's Next Drag Superstar.
37:15Mini Wang.
37:17Hi. Here is your best shot with
37:19Venus. Oh, yes.
37:21Tell me about your journey to get to this moment.
37:23I grew up an ABC,
37:25as we call them, an Australian-born Chinese.
37:27So from the get-go, I knew that
37:29I was different because in a Western culture,
37:31as a Chinese family,
37:33we just did everything differently.
37:35Arts was never seen as
37:37a viable career path.
37:39Cut to me moving here to Canada.
37:41Drag allowed me to explore
37:43who I am as a person.
37:45In all of us lives a
37:47feminine mask and everything in between.
37:49To truly love yourself
37:51and know who you are, you need
37:53to pay attention to both
37:55ends of the spectrum and everything
37:57in between. And finally,
37:59I am not hiding these
38:01shoulders today, because if
38:03you do not crown me, I'm going to
38:05fucking beat you up!
38:09Michaela Couture.
38:11Here is your best shot with Venus.
38:13Oh, my God. We're so
38:15beautiful. Tell me about your journey
38:17to get to this moment. Growing up
38:19on our family
38:21home wall, we
38:23had a little poster
38:25that said my dead name, and under it
38:27it said, a boy whose name
38:29will be in lights. Now,
38:31my mom was wrong.
38:33She didn't have a boy, but
38:35this girl's name has been in lights
38:37and it will continue to be in lights.
38:39And three years ago,
38:41you met me, all of y'all met me
38:43at 18 years old, and
38:45I stand here in front of you,
38:4721 years old, a beautiful
38:49black trans woman
38:51who can stand in her power
38:53and say that I
38:55fucking did it. I'm
38:57forever grateful. Thank you, Michaela.
38:59Queens, it's now
39:01time for your final critiques.
39:03Starting with the Virgo Queen.
39:05What it do, what it do?
39:07I really enjoyed your performance today of your single.
39:09You gave Popstar. It didn't sound like
39:11a drag queen song. It sounded like a song
39:13I would hear on the radio. You were such
39:15an absolute pleasure to work with.
39:17You have a beautiful voice. You took
39:19notes so elegantly
39:21so seamlessly, and that's like a whole
39:23talent all in itself. I was very
39:25proud of you tonight. You did a really beautiful job.
39:27Your look tonight is
39:29just breathtaking.
39:31You have given us so many different
39:33sides of your drag.
39:35You have shown us so much
39:37versatility, and then you saved
39:39this beautiful fairy tale
39:41for the last
39:43look. You look like a queen.
39:45You act like a queen. You are a queen.
39:47You have this
39:49unbothered,
39:51elegant aura that just screams
39:53superstar. From your
39:55runway presentation
39:57to your performances, you really
39:59seize the day.
40:01Up next, Helena
40:03Poison. I really enjoyed
40:05your single. You're a wonderful performer.
40:07Thank you. Your lyricism is amazing.
40:09I thought you did a really great job.
40:11Hard on myself, but took the note.
40:13I am the venom and the antidote.
40:15So smart. You've shown
40:17us really who you are, and
40:19you've really done it your way, which I think is so
40:21special. I love
40:23this look. Simple, yet
40:25effective, and not very easy
40:27to cut, sew,
40:29make this silhouette,
40:31make it smooth, keep it
40:33shiny, and walk the way that you did
40:35in it. You know, it took me
40:37over 20 years as a performer
40:39to realize that being myself
40:41is the best thing
40:43you can do as a performer and a human,
40:45and sadly, the hardest thing to do.
40:47If you can authentically
40:49perform like you did today and be
40:51true to that outsider, I think
40:53you'll find how many other outsiders
40:55you'll touch. Thanks so much.
40:57Up next, Mini Wang.
40:59Hi. Mini, it's been
41:01wangderful having you here.
41:03I so enjoyed your performance.
41:05I loved your lyrics. It was really great
41:07to see you out there having a good time, and it was
41:09just very camp. It has been
41:11an immense joy to watch you
41:13come into this competition and just week
41:15after week, bring your own version
41:17of your
41:19drag and yourself to the runway. I love
41:21the surprises that you give us.
41:23I never know what to expect. I never know
41:25what we're going to see on the runway.
41:27Every single look, the details,
41:29like, even just on this look here,
41:31there's always some little flourish
41:33in your drag. Having
41:35such a muscular body, you've also done
41:37such a great job of
41:39never hiding it, but always
41:41kind of showing it in a
41:43different way so that we're seeing
41:45you. You've become the fashion
41:47queen of the season. You've just served
41:49us look after look after look,
41:51and I think we've all become a fan of the Wangs.
41:53Yes.
41:55Mikaela Couture.
41:57Well, I guess the makeover is complete.
41:59It really is.
42:01She's all grown up. And we've
42:03had the pleasure of watching your journey.
42:05You've had some falters,
42:07but you've always managed to pick yourself
42:09back up and fight. You are
42:11a fighter. That's why I love your lyrics so much.
42:13Angels, the world is going to beat you down,
42:15but it's how you get back up that makes you
42:17a superstar. You have
42:19done the house of Couture
42:21very proud. I mean,
42:23you can see the DNA in this design.
42:25It's just
42:27exceptional. You are a superstar,
42:29and tonight you were on fire.
42:31Just electric watching
42:33you perform. It was a music
42:35award show worthy performance.
42:37I was really, really
42:39especially proud of you tonight
42:41because you shared with me that
42:43you faced some insecurity
42:45around your voice after your
42:47journey and transitioning, and that you hadn't
42:49really sang much ever since then.
42:51I'm just so proud because you killed it.
42:53And I just want to tell you
42:55never stop singing because you have a gorgeous
42:57voice. Stop it. You're going to make me cry.
42:59You made me very proud tonight,
43:01and your performance was incredible.
43:03You have a fan in me for life, and
43:05now I'm sure many, many fans out
43:07there in the world, so congratulations.
43:09Queens, we have a
43:11big decision to make,
43:13and so do you.
43:17Well, you untuck, you will
43:19choose who deserves the title of
43:21Miss Congeniality.
43:23And $10,000
43:25made possible
43:27by our partner, Gilead Sciences
43:29Canada. Yes!
43:31You may leave the stage. Thank you.
43:37This is familiar.
43:39Now we are catching up
43:41with the girls.
43:43The queens are back.
43:49Uma down, Uma down.
43:51I got you.
43:53Girls,
43:55you just have to tell me everything
43:57that happened this season.
43:59Who was giving us the drama?
44:03Context is
44:05we had to design for Brooklyn.
44:07She modeled our looks on the runway.
44:09Zan decided to say that
44:11Brooklyn's struggled a bit with
44:13Mikaela's dress.
44:15We had some words, and then
44:17we kind of just like cut it off
44:19and we moved on, but I feel like there is
44:21some things that have been left unsaid.
44:23That was like a nice way of putting it. Bitch, I cussed her out.
44:25I have never
44:27tried to make you feel fucking low,
44:29and this is the shit you pull?
44:31I'm so fucking done.
44:33I'm done. Fuck you.
44:35I definitely
44:37could have handled that a lot better.
44:39I have unconditional love
44:41for you, Mikaela. I do still feel
44:43a certain way. I love you down
44:45because you are that girl, but
44:47right now, I don't know.
44:49A year from now, me and Zan are going to be good girls.
44:51We're going to be totally fine.
44:53I think I just need my space,
44:55and I'm happy that she's respecting that.
44:57Does anyone else have anything
44:59they want to air out?
45:01Oh yeah, I do.
45:03I motherfucking do, and I'm going to give it. Here it goes.
45:05The way I left
45:07was not right. Minnie,
45:09I'm just really hurt by you.
45:11The queen I have chosen to save
45:13is Mikaela Couture.
45:17Okay, don't forget that your ass would have gone home
45:19if I didn't win that lipstick.
45:21No one took that consideration of thinking,
45:23okay, she's been
45:25doing well. I forgive, but I don't forget.
45:27Those decisions aren't easy to make.
45:29I'm sorry that your feelings were hurt in that moment.
45:31It has nothing to do with you as a person
45:33or even your talent. I have no
45:35doubt that you are a star,
45:37but we can only save one person.
45:39Can I just add two cents to this?
45:41As the resident bottom of season five,
45:43I got a lot
45:45of good critiques on that runway as well,
45:47but I don't feel any type
45:49of way of this. I should be
45:51upset because nobody saved the beaver
45:53on me. I never left the competition
45:55with any sore
45:57feelings, really. Perla,
45:59you never saved me, but I love
46:01you so much. I love you.
46:03I know that you didn't get to
46:05stick around as long as
46:07anybody would have liked,
46:09but it was really special to get
46:11to spend that time with you. Thank you. I really got
46:13to see in you someone that I recognize coming from a
46:15really small place and dreaming big dreams.
46:17I want you to just remember that
46:19doing well on this show is great,
46:21but getting on this show is the mark of the
46:23end, and it's the start of everything.
46:25Can I just address the elephant in the room?
46:27Oh.
46:31I look amazing.
46:35Thank you so much. I've had a great time.
46:37I need to hear everything about it
46:39because the details, we need to know.
46:41This specific design is
46:43the Every Child Matters, and
46:45I have the blessing of the artist,
46:47Andy Everson, to be
46:49able to wear this on the main
46:51stage. I just feel really honored
46:53to be able to recognize it as
46:55an indigenous trans person.
46:57This says to the world,
46:59this is me. Here I am
47:01standing in my power. Yes.
47:03Absolutely, Miss Jaylene.
47:05That dress is
47:07so important. I'm so
47:09proud of her.
47:11There's still $10,000 up for grabs.
47:13Miss Congeniality.
47:15Top four out.
47:17So who wants Miss Congeniality? I do.
47:19I have it. I wouldn't mind winning something
47:21sometime. I have all hands up
47:23once I get it.
47:25Well, just between
47:27us golden beavers,
47:29what do we think? Starting with
47:31the Virgo Queen. Superstar.
47:33Superstar. She just has that
47:35it quality to me. I mean, that kind of confidence,
47:37it's just something you can't really fake
47:39as a performer, and she just feels like a professional.
47:41From the second she walked in the
47:43workroom, we were all kind of like,
47:45whoa. She is one of those
47:47people that comes around once in a lifetime.
47:49And I will be buying her single.
47:51I think she might be probably one of the
47:53most gifted lyricists we've ever had on
47:55this show. And performer. She's lip synced
47:57four times in this competition. Two times
47:59in the bottom, two times in the top, and she
48:01slayed every single time.
48:03Let's talk about Helena
48:05Poison. Our goth queen with
48:07a heart of gold. There's like
48:09two million drag queens in the world
48:11now, and sometimes
48:13what's missing is a point of view
48:15as an artist, and I think it's really cool
48:17when you find someone who has a unique point of
48:19view that feels authentic to who they are.
48:21Who also has a fantastic drag
48:23mug. Yeah. That bitch is stamped
48:25and has given us some of the most iconic
48:27looks this season. I don't know if I see
48:29the same fire in her as I see in
48:31some of our other final four. I liked her
48:33performance, and I really liked her single,
48:35but in comparison,
48:37was it as dynamic?
48:39Was it as electrifying?
48:41Mini Wang.
48:43Our little Wang. So sweet to see how
48:45all the other queens have really embraced her
48:47and been surprised by her, because they didn't think
48:49she was a threat at the beginning. No way. That's the
48:51best thing ever, to exceed people's expectations.
48:53Everything she brought out
48:55onto the runway, she was so confident
48:57in, because it was so
48:59authentically her. I just
49:01think it's so great that she brought
49:03such a unique set
49:05of lyrics. I mean, no one could have written that
49:07but her. She had a beautiful
49:09runway, as always, but based on
49:11the performance, this is the finale,
49:13it didn't really measure up compared to some of the
49:15other performances we saw tonight.
49:17Michaela Couture. Michaela has been such a bright
49:19light all season. She's had her
49:21share of highs
49:23and a few little lows, but she manages to
49:25just pivot beautifully and come back.
49:27And what a performer.
49:29Oh my goodness.
49:31A powerhouse performer. The dancing
49:33and the choreography, I mean, that was
49:35truly at a professional level.
49:37That was her all season long, too.
49:39Like, even when she was in the bottom and lip syncing,
49:41it was like anybody coming up against
49:43her to lip sync for their life
49:45was like, oh no, oh my god.
49:47She's had some great fashion moments, too,
49:49don't you think? Tonight was
49:51the epitome of the house of Couture.
49:53Are you buying a ticket to see her concert?
49:55100% I am.
49:57I think we've made our decisions.
49:59Bring back
50:01our final four.
50:03Welcome back, queens.
50:05It's time to crown our Miss
50:07Congeniality.
50:09I'm sure you're all itching
50:11to find out, so to help me let the cat
50:13out of the bag, please welcome back
50:15season four's Miss Congeniality,
50:17Kitten Kabuto!
50:19Oh my god!
50:31Well, hi, Kitten. Hi, Brooke.
50:33You look fabulous.
50:35I look like everybody's favourite
50:37toilet roll cover.
50:39Now, Kitten,
50:41what is the key to being congenial?
50:43Don't join any alliances
50:45and never let them hear
50:47what you say behind their back.
50:49Alright, the winner
50:51of season five's Miss Congeniality
50:53and $10,000
50:55made possible by our partner,
50:57Gilead Sciences Canada
50:59is...
51:03Jaylene Todd!
51:05Oh my god!
51:09Thank you, thank you, thank you.
51:11Thank you so much, thank you.
51:13I'm fangirling right now. It's so good to meet you.
51:15Congratulations. Thank you so much.
51:17Is there anything you'd like to say?
51:19I just want to say thank you so much for this opportunity
51:21to be part of such a stellar
51:23cast of humans. It's really
51:25important to make sure we create these stages
51:27where people can feel free to express
51:29themselves. That's our power.
51:31And to have it from my sisters,
51:33it just makes it so much sweeter.
51:35Thank you so much. I love you all so much.
51:37Yes, Jaylene!
51:39Love you, mama!
51:41And world peace.
51:45Queens, we have made some
51:47tough, tough decisions.
51:49You are all so
51:51incredible and so amazing.
51:53However, only
51:55two of you will be lip-syncing for the crown.
52:01The Virgo Queen,
52:03Michaela Couture.
52:07You will face off for the title
52:09of Canada's next drag
52:11superstar.
52:15Oh my god, shit!
52:17Helena,
52:19we have tasted your poison
52:21and we don't want the antidote.
52:23Miss Wang, you have
52:25proved there is nothing mini
52:27about your talent. Thanks for bringing
52:29your drag to the maximum.
52:31I'm sorry, my dears, but your journeys
52:33end here. But just know
52:35that you are both true North Stars.
52:37Truly an amazing experience.
52:39Thank you all so much. Honestly, the
52:41opportunity has been something I'll
52:43always cherish. Thank you.
52:45Thank you so much, and we'll always cherish it with you.
52:47Yay, Helena!
52:49Yay!
52:57The Virgo Queen,
52:59Michaela Couture.
53:01One of you will be crowned the winner
53:03of Canada's Drag Race.
53:05In addition to winning the title of
53:07Canada's next drag superstar,
53:09you will also walk away with a crown
53:11and scepter, courtesy of
53:13Amped Accessories, and from
53:15Trojan, the pleasure
53:17of $100,000.
53:23Two queens
53:25stand before us.
53:27Prior to tonight,
53:29you were asked to prepare a lip-sync
53:31performance of From This Moment
53:33On by Shania Twain.
53:35This is your last chance
53:37to impress us and prove
53:39that you are Canada's next
53:41drag superstar.
53:43The time has come
53:45for you to lip-sync

53:49crown!
