Canada's Drag Race 5x1

1. Oh, pit crew!

2. Hi, I'm Minhi Wang. I'm 39.

3. I'm originally from Perth, western Australia,

4. and I am firm, I'm fit,

5. and fabulous.

6. You may know me from Canada's Drag Race already.

7. I was one of the original pit crew members.

8. So this was always in the blood.

9. It just had to be released.

10. At a Minhi Wang show, you're just gonna have fun.

11. If you're at brunch, you're gonna be well fed.

12. Minhi Wang is a little bit of everything.

13. Jack of all trades.

14. Master of none. Ha-ha-ha-ha!

15. What are y'at, b'y!

16. Hey-a, my name is Tara Nova,

17. and I am from the bustling city of

18. St. John's, Newfoundland.

19. I know, it's hard to believe that all of this

20. can come from Newfoundland.

21. Tara Nova is the

22. cunty look queen of the island.

23. She is going to sew all of her looks.

24. I wanted to come in, in something that really,

25. truly represented me.

26. You have to look at the horns on top of my head

27. because horny is what?

28. The brand.

29. My best quality is my charisma.

30. I have that Newfie charm.

31. And, as you can obviously see,

32. she is a makeup queen.

33. So I'll be the second Newfoundlander on

34. Canada's Drag Race,

35. but I'll be the first to take the crown.

36. The Bollyhood queen

37. is in the motherfucking house!

38. What's popping?

39. It's your girl, Sanjina Dabish Queen.

40. Ey-oh! Ha-ha!

41. I am your trans Fijian Bollyhood

42. motherfucking remix, bitch.

43. Sanjina is magical and banji.

44. Together that is banjical.

45. My energy is very infectious.

46. Also, obnoxious.

47. But I don't give a fuck. Ha-ha-ha-ha!

48. Drama loves me. Oh, it loves me.

49. If you have a problem with me,

50. there's the exit. Bye.

51. I'm going for a very lehenga saree look.

52. It's the Bollyhood queen. Crown it right now.

53. Crown this pussy. Ha-ha-ha-ha.

54. Well, I'm just happy to be here.

55. My name is Perla. I live in Toronto, Ontario.

56. I'm originally from Calgary, and I'm a dirty slut.

57. If I can roll around and look like a dirty slut

58. on the ground, I'm gonna do it.

59. I'm just like a fashion illustration come to life.

60. If you're at a Perla show, you would see

61. a rhinestone on literally everything.

62. I'm sweet, petite, and ready to eat.

63. The other queens should fear me because

64. I'm gonna be shorter than all of them,

65. so it's really easy to kick at the back of a knee.

66. I promise I won't do violence.

67. Probably should have mentioned this earlier.

68. I'm Poison. Sh!

69. What's up, Canada? My name is Helena Poison,

70. and I'm your 32-year-old teenage dirt bag

71. from Toronto, Ontario.

72. I've been doing drag for 10 years.

73. I'm more of a seasoned queen.

74. If seasoned means old and tired.

75. Helena Poison is definitely known for...

76. being a little unhinged.

77. I've been described as Wednesday Adams

78. turned to sex work.

79. If you were to come to a Helena Poison show,

80. you would see lots of beautiful outfits

81. that I made myself.

82. I've designed for lots of queens over the years.

83. My entrance look is my homage to

84. scene queens and emo girls.

85. If Helena Poison was in high school in 2006,

86. this is exactly how she would dress.

87. I'm going to win Canada's Drag Race

88. by being unapologetically myself.

89. I'm ready to get weird. Let's do it.

90. Icon, legend, star.

91. It's Tyme.

92. My name is Jaylene Tyme.

93. I'm 52 years young, and I am an Indigenous,

94. two-spirit, transgendered human being.

95. Jaylene Tyme is a superstar.

96. I am a celebrity impersonator.

97. I do Dolly, Cher, Tina.

98. You know, all the divas.

99. I've been doing drag for almost 32 years,

100. so over those years I've been able to

101. foster my own drag family,

102. and you may know some of them.

103. Gia Metric is a daughter of mine.

104. Chelazon Leroux

105. My grandchildren are Kendall Gender,

106. and Venus, the first Indigenous winner ever.

107. I'm walking in bold wearing red to signify

108. the missing murdered Indigenous women,

109. girls and two-spirits.

110. It's taken me a long time to get here so,

111. my first impression is really important.

112. Buckle up, bitches. It's Virgo season.

113. Hi, I'm the Virgo Queen,

114. born and raised in Toronto, Canada, baby.

115. Ahhh!

116. The Virgo Queen is known for giving

117. Y2K, Bratz doll,

118. and for giving good head.

119. Um, no.

120. The Virgo Queen is giving tricks, flips,

121. splits down on the stage,

122. but she's also a well - rounded entertainer.

123. I can sing, I can dance.

124. I can act, I can sew.

125. I stomp on these hoes.

126. Just running circles around these bitches.

127. Like this, woo.

128. I'm just that diva, but I'm not like—

129. Ha-ha!

130. I was gonna say it hasn't gone to my head.

131. I'm Uma Gahd and-

132. Oh, hang on.

133. I'm Uma Gahd, and I'm here to take you to church.

134. Hi, everyone. I'm Uma Gahd.

135. I am 36 years old and I'm from Montreal, Quebec.

136. Uma is a woman of a certain age.

137. I am inspired by a lot of the women in my life.

138. I have a gap tooth like one of my grandmothers.

139. I have no eyebrows like my other grandmother.

140. Sorry, Mémé.

141. I'm known for hosting.

142. I have done underground raves.

143. And then, I have done story time at libraries.

144. This is basically a birthday clown made of couch cushions.

145. At an Uma Gahd show, you're going to experience

146. comedy and a lot of heart.

147. I am also known as someone

148. who doesn't shut the fuck up.

149. The word of Gahd is joy,

150. and I am here to spread that word.

151. They say diamonds are a girl's best friend,

152. especially when they're Tiffany.

153. Hi, Canada. It's Tiffany Ann Co.

154. I'm 32 years old, and I am from beautiful...

155. Vancouver, BC.

156. Tiffany Ann Co is your typical ABG,

157. or Asian Baby Girl.

158. Her nails are always done. Hair is correct.

159. She gets the best things in life and

160. it's what she deserves.

161. Tiffany is known for giving you the concert experience-

162. mega mixes, choreography.

163. I'm here to serve you the pop star fantasy.

164. Prepare to be obsessed.

165. I'm 5'4" with 6'5" attitude problem.

166. I'm just gonna bring a lot of bitch.

167. Let's be real.

168. I'm about to steal all of your hearts and

169. maybe a couple of your husbands too.

170. Hi, slurs.

171. Hello, I'm Xana, and I'm a dominatrix doll

172. from Vancouver, British Columbia.

173. My drag is known for being super sexy,

174. super empowering, and just the best.

175. My best quality is my body,

176. but secondary to that is my warm personality.

177. I look the most beautiful

178. when I'm pissed off and angry so,

179. I'm going to let these girls have it the entire season.

180. I'm a girl who loves belts,

181. which is why my entrance look is just that.

182. So, strap in, Canada.

183. I'm gonna win $100,000 by clawing my way to the top.

184. Season 5, are you ready to get whipped?

185. "Whashoo!"

186. Why settle with prom queen

187. when you could be a Couture?

188. My name is Makayla Couture.

189. I'm from Toronto, Ontario, and you might know me

190. from Season 2 of Canada's Drag Race.

191. I was one of the makeover guests on the prom episode.

192. Being the daughter of a winner is only going to

193. inspire me to work harder.

194. Mother, I'm home!

195. Since appearing on Season 2,

196. I've really felt like I could embrace my trans identity.

197. It took a lot of self-love to...

198. become who I am now, with a splash of hormones.

199. My look looks expensive.

200. It's giving body.

201. It's giving goddess.

202. This is Canada's Drag Race Season 5.

203. First impressions matter.

204. The look: brought it.

205. The performances: they will eat.

206. I'm here to win.

207. The winner of Canada's Drag Race receives

208. the pleasure of $100,000,

209. thanks to Trojan.

210. With Traci Melchor, Brad Goreski,

211. and Brooke Lynn Hytes!

212. With tonight's extra special guest judge, Lu Kala.

213. - Oh my god! - Ah!

214. What?

215. Oh my god, we are here in

216. Canada's Drag Race Season 5.

217. What the fuck?

218. Bitch, hi! Nice to see you.

219. Oh, oh, we're bringing trans magic.

220. That's right, that's right.

221. This is all so surreal,

222. just knowing that I'm part of this legacy.

223. It's a big deal.

224. What the fuck! Ah!

225. The first girl I recognize is

226. my drag daughter, Sanjina.

227. Oh, I love you. Love you.

228. My drag mother, what?

229. Ah-ha-ha-ha!

230. Y'all not ready for her.

231. You are not ready.

232. My baby!

233. The energy is definitely chaotic right now.

234. You know, drag queens.

235. We're all running around...

236. and making weird noises.

237. Hi, baby! Stop the whistle note!

238. I know.

239. When I first see Makayla Couture, I'm like...

240. Are you fucking serious?

241. You're beautiful.

242. But, in order for you to be the best,

243. you need to beat the best,

244. so I'm ready to go toe to toe with her.

245. Lot of girls up in this, bitch. Okay.

246. Three queens per alcove.

247. Where are we going, girl?

248. Over here, over here, over here.

249. I don't know Tara that well...

250. Argh!

251. but we take an alcove together.

252. I'm gagged at how many Toronto girls are here.

253. There are six of us. There's six?

254. My God, that cuts the competition in half

255. when you guys are all gone. But like-

256. I think that the other queens will

257. definitely underestimate me just purely because

258. I'm from Newfoundland.

259. But I have my Newfie charm,

260. and I have some tricks up my sleeve.

261. I cannot believe Minhi Wang is here.

262. Could she trade the Minhi Wang for

263. some mini shoulders?

264. Oh! Oh, oh, oh. Let me, let me unpack.

265. Tara is just being a shady ass bitch.

266. I think we have a good possibility of

267. Miss Uma landing in the bottom first.

268. She is looking for the booger,

269. but her outfit wasn't good.

270. Bitch, good luck to her.

271. Oh, thank you.

272. Teamwork makes the dream work.

273. Immediately, I was so happy to see Jaylene.

274. I don't know if it was the auntie vibes

275. that were just like calling out.

276. But right away, we gravitated towards each other.

277. We're making it official, we're moving in?

278. There's a lot of young ones here.

279. Loud.

280. Cackety-cack.

281. Cunty-cunty.

282. Attache ta tuque. Like, let's go.

283. Where is Xana?

284. I see my best Judy, Tiffany.

285. Ah! My heel broke.

286. We're sisters.

287. Of course, we're gonna bunk together.

288. Hello, girl.

289. Okay, where do I even like start?

290. Favourite entrance look, whose was yours?

291. Jaylene is so stunning.

292. She's gonna be a heavy hitter in this competition.

293. Absolute icon.

294. I know of Jaylene, so I was kind of

295. hoping to like share with her,

296. but then her alcove was full.

297. So then I found myself kind of like...

298. Mary and Joseph.

299. Like, is there room at your inn?

300. Can I join you?

301. I don't know. Can you?

302. You guys obviously know each other.

303. No. Lies.

304. I don't know who she is. What's your name?

305. Um, none of your business.

306. I'm feeling a little bit intimidated,

307. and the vibe is a little bit frosty.

308. So Minhi, where did you get your name?

309. Um, I just thought it was gonna be like a joke.

310. The first time you get in drag,

311. I aways thought the jokes were gonna be like-

312. So you think drag's a joke.

313. Chilly.

314. I'm just gonna come out and say it.

315. I don't really like Perla.

316. A little bit mean girly.

317. You do have like five more minute to go check on

318. somebody else, if you want to swap places.

319. We're scary over here.

320. I don't think there's room for another alcove.

321. - You guys are scary. - Well, there's outside.

322. We're gonna stick it out.

323. Day one!

324. Ah!

325. Hands up, don't shoot. Hands up, don't shoot!

326. O Canada!

327. She done already done had herses.

328. Bonjour, Canuckleheads.

329. Ah!

330. Welcome to Season 5.

331. Now, you only get one chance to make

332. a damn good first impression,

333. so let your charisma, uniqueness,

334. nerve and talent blossom...

335. and you'll make the whole world want some.

336. Yeah!

337. Let's go!

338. Honies, I'm home!

339. Ah!

340. Mama, yes!

341. Doing it to us again.

342. All laced up and hot.

343. Condragulations, queens! You did the thing!

344. Are you ready for a wild ride?

345. Yes!

346. Now it looks like my Judys

347. have fallen behind.

348. Oh!

349. Daddy!

350. You thought you could leave me in the dust?

351. My God, look at daddy fucking Brad!

352. Come through, Tinman.

353. Back off, he's all mine.

354. Ah!

355. Let's get this race a'vrooming.

356. Mama's here!

357. Wow!

358. Traci Melchor, you need to put that hair in my alcove.

359. We've been blessed.

360. Welcome home, everyone.

361. It's so good to be back amongst family.

362. Remember this moment because soon enough,

363. one of you will be crowned Canada's next drag superstar.

364. Ooh!

365. And win, from Trojan,

366. the pleasure of $100,000!

367. $100,000.

368. I feel like it would look really good in my pockets.

369. And in my cheeks, and my lips...

370. And maybe my butthole.

371. You can get Botox down there.

372. Now, queens, the season may have just begun,

373. but the first challenge is already in full bloom.

374. - Oh.

375. That's right.

376. Our rosebuds are back, back, back again.

377. This year, there are three rosebuds up for grabs.

378. If you earn one, it'll secure your spot

379. in the top this week.

380. Ooh. Oh! Okay.

381. Wow!

382. I hate to be a pain in the bud,

383. but we'll also be handing out thorns to the

384. three queens who left us wanting more.

385. If you receive one,

386. you are automatically in the bottom,

387. and possibly up for elimination.

388. Okay.

389. Girl, not the thorns.

390. Based solely on your entrance looks,

391. the first rosebud and thorn have been decided.

392. But you'll have to wait for the results.

393. - Oh. - Of course.

394. Oh, my god.

395. In the meantime, you still have

396. two chances to blossom and earn a rose...

397. or be pricked by a thorn.

398. That's an insane twist. Your first impression

399. could land you immediately in the bottom.

400. For your next shot, you'll be serving star...

401. music video star.

402. - Ooh! - Okay.

403. It's time for you to debut your drag to the world

404. in a music video for our new bop, "Go Off, Queen".

405. Yeah!

406. And for your final chance on the runway,

407. category is "You Oughta Know...

408. Me", your very best drag.

409. Ooh!

410. You'll find out your fate on the main stage, so...

411. make your mark or be uprooted.

412. - Oh. - Oh...

413. Y'all ready? Yes!

414. Racers, start your engines...

415. and may the best drag queen...

416. bloom!

417. Ooh, ah!

418. Oh my god. Ah.

419. I need these nails off.

420. Every time I do anything with a corset,

421. I think of Titanic.

422. "You're not to see that boy again, Rose."

423. Ha-ha-ha!

424. Now we have to redrag,

425. switch up the mug a little bit, and...

426. get ready to perform in a music video.

427. Oh, pit crew!

428. Oh-hoo-hoo.

429. Come on, boy!

430. Minhi Wang, ha-ha-ha!

431. She's definitely trade of the season.

432. If she was straight...

433. That's all I gotta to say.

434. The twist really got me because I was like...

435. so you're not gonna tell us who is in

436. the bottom right now. We just have to assume.

437. I kind of like this idea that now all of us

438. are like living in fear a little bit.

439. The thorn twist definitely has everyone

440. a little shook.

441. Do you think that's fair to put someone

442. in the bottom for their entrance look?

443. I think so because it's like if you came

444. looking like shit, why should you...

445. You know. Why should you be here? Go home.

446. Do any of you feel that we are

447. thorning or are we rose-budding?

448. I don't think there's thorns here.

449. There's no thorns on this side.

450. All three of us are getting rosebuds

451. in this little alcove. It's the top three, baby,

452. so welcome to the rose garden.

453. Ah, smells like $100,000.

454. How's everybody feeling about

455. going into the challenge?

456. I'm so excited for it.

457. I'm so fucking excited.

458. I know my verse eats down,

459. and performing is what I do, baby.

460. So, ah, yeah.

461. I think that now my ass is really on fire 'cause

462. I'm like I really want to get a rose so fucking bad,

463. and I know that now there's two more attempts

464. for me to be able to get it.

465. I love you, but I feel like

466. you might have a thorn.

467. No, girl!

468. How could you literally say that to me when you had

469. that frumpy pillow on the back of your neck?

470. No, fully. I was expecting more.

471. Are the girls fighting already?

472. These girls are going to find out that they are not

473. gonna be able to put this bitch down because guess what?

474. She is... sickening!

475. And bitch, she's ready.

476. It's Season 5.

477. And we're looking to be gagged.

478. A word of advice from your Auntie Brooke,

479. never waste a chance to make a first impression.

480. Nm-mm.

481. - Ha-ha! Ya! - Watch out, watch out.

482. The music video challenge is now done.

483. Ahh!

484. So we're taking off our faces and

485. we're getting comfortable.

486. Get it all the way off, queen.

487. - What? - Oh, yeah.

488. Oh my god!

489. Hey, dad!

490. Uma out of drag, my nipples went...

491. They did.

492. You're my white man dream.

493. I'm already taken, but... Me too.

494. - It can be a- - Sharing is caring.

495. There you go. You're beautiful.

496. Oh my gosh, thank you.

497. What? What's happening?

498. Do I need to move to Toronto? Am I like a Toronto 10?

499. Listen, I don't know what's in the water.

500. Is Uma trade of the season?

501. I didn't see it. Uma out of drag...

502. kind of looks like Mr. Potato Head and

503. Kasha Davis had a baby.

504. Oh my god, look at my, my three trans babies.

505. Ah!

506. I love you guys. I love you too.

507. For me to be able to be here and to

508. have this opportunity on Canada's Drag Race,

509. it truly is a dream come true.

510. I've applied every season.

511. When I saw the Girlfriend Experience and

512. when I saw Kitten, I was like okay, trans people,

513. okay, there's, there's generations of drag,

514. I'm like I put my quarter back in that machine and,

515. you know, here I am.

516. The fact that I'm here,

517. it's iconic because I think about what my presence means

518. to not only myself, but also a lot of young,

519. two-spirit people that are looking

520. to see where they fit in the world.

521. Everyone really, really brought it today.

522. I really wish that not so many people had.

523. Right?

524. Honestly, I'm not gonna lie to you.

525. I felt like I delivered.

526. I popped the motherfucking fuck off,

527. but thing is when I popped off,

528. everything else popped with me.

529. My fucking hair was running to Scarborough.

530. Go off, queen. I sure motherfucking did.

531. I'm actually like really gagged after like

532. listening to everyone's verses.

533. When I was fucking writing that thing,

534. I was like oh yeah, I think I know what I'm doing.

535. I didn't do that bad.

536. Heard everyone else's, and I was like oh, fuck.

537. What I was able to put together for a verse...

538. was a verse.

539. But, I am in a competition with a lot of talented

540. rappers and singers,

541. and I didn't expect that.

542. I'm scared.

543. - Ah! - Hello, hello, hello!

544. It's elimination day.

545. Woo!

546. It's our first elimination...

547. and I have a funny feeling in my tummy,

548. and I don't know if that's gas or excitement.

549. This is a really strong cast.

550. I think that this is probably one of the

551. strongest casts I've seen.

552. Obviously, there's gonna be people that land

553. in the bottom, there'll be people in the top,

554. but I think collectively, as a group,

555. we did really, really well.

556. Truly.

557. I think like that's what's hard is that like

558. everyone did well, so then who's thorny?

559. - Exactly! - Exactly.

560. Nobody's been answering that.

561. Who's Thornisha? I've been asking that.

562. Frankly, Miss Ma'am,

563. I feel like you got a thorn for your entrance.

564. I think our good sister, Sanjina,

565. might be in trouble.

566. Her look wasn't...

567. good.

568. Yes, it represented you but was it your best drag?

569. Yeah, that's my entrance.

570. That's who I am, that's truly my aesthetic, right?

571. It's Bollyhood.

572. Xana do, Xana don't.

573. Xana better not motherfucking try me, bitch.

574. She needs to stay in her motherfucking lane.

575. I think I came true to...

576. who I am, so yeah.

577. Yeah. Yeah.

578. That's, that's fierce for you.

579. Girl, like shut up.

580. There's only one plain Jane...

581. And that's not you, girl.

582. Well, on that note.

583. It's time to get that rosebud...

584. - Or... that thorn. - What?

585. Let's get into makeup!

586. Two chances have passed us by to get a rose

587. or a thorn, but we've still got the runway.

588. My runway is like game over.

589. I'm so excited to get ready with other people.

590. I know.

591. I always get ready alone.

592. I used to take around 2 hours.

593. And then I really started to think about it,

594. and I was like we get paid such trash.

595. How can you spend more time...

596. Than you are performing?

597. Exactly.

598. In Newfoundland, we do six numbers and

599. we're each only paid 37.50.

600. Wait, wait. What? Shut the fuck up!

601. 37.50.

602. 37...

603. It's the 50 cents.

604. What are you doing with that 50 cents?

605. It almost feels like a...

606. fuck you.

607. Being a seamstress and always paying for

608. a new look every single weekend,

609. I don't always see the payoff,

610. but the thing is that I love drag so fucking much.

611. The payoff is here, bitch.

612. Exactly! You're here.

613. My rate for my performers is like flat out

614. $200, no matter what gig, where it is.

615. What?

616. I don't think that Newfoundland bar is owned by

617. a drag performer. They don't know what you're going through.

618. No, it's a straight man.

619. I know what you're going through.

620. I'm gonna pay you for what you're worth.

621. Drag is so magical.

622. We fill bars, we sell alcohol.

623. We are entertainment. We're promoters.

624. We're doing all of these things.

625. To get paid $30 to do

626. all of that work to fill your space and

627. make you money tells us that you don't care about us.

628. Do better.

629. That table chat was interesting.

630. I don't know, I just felt like my-

631. I just felt very...

632. Like what?

633. I just felt like everything like

634. I just brought doesn't fit my body well.

635. I came in here looking like what people

636. fucking say all the time, that I'm busted.

637. I just feel like I let down my own people.

638. No, you did not though.

639. Sanjina, you wouldn't let down anybody

640. unless you've given up. Right?

641. I'm not giving up, I'm not.

642. I'm gonna fight.

643. And if I'm in the bottom, whoever's in the bottom with me.

644. I swear to fucking God.

645. What if you got the rosebud?

646. What if you are in the top?

647. You don't know what's happening today.

648. You're right, you're right.

649. Right? Your personality shines bright.

650. It outweighs other people's beautiful garments.

651. Do you understand that?

652. Okay? I'm so proud of you.

653. Thank you, I love you.

654. I'm so, so happy that you're here.

655. Let me get you some tights and some pads,

656. or whatever you need to do to get,

657. you know, get stuff together.

658. Body dysmorphia is not...

659. it's not a fun thing.

660. I'm not comfortable with my body.

661. I always feel like I look like a man...

662. And Virgo feels my pain.

663. She sees it on a daily basis.

664. I have like really bad body dysmorphia.

665. And yesterday, standing next to like...

666. Makayla and like Jaylene, I felt so ugly.

667. It's just I realized yesterday that it was one of

668. my weaknesses that I was just going through.

669. I don't know, it's just really been fucking me up.

670. You are beautiful. Thank you.

671. Like there's no one way of being trans, you know.

672. All three of us here, we're all different.

673. You don't need to look like me

674. to be trans.

675. You don't need to look like another trans girl

676. just to feel your cunt.

677. You know, I have to say too,

678. when I, when I saw that you were here,

679. when I saw that you were here, I'm like...

680. it's happening.

681. Yeah, yeah. We're being seen.

682. We're taking over. We're being seen.

683. And our drag culture would not be representative

684. if it didn't include the trans women.

685. It took me a long time to get to the space to

686. where I could feel confident.

687. And I'm still walking through that day to day.

688. And it, it's so hard. You feel so alone.

689. So, if you have the courage to stand in your truth,

690. that is power.

691. Thank you for being an icon and a legend.

692. Just so you know, it costs about

693. 10 grand for these.

694. Well, if I win that $100,000...

695. Wow! Woo! Yay!

696. Welcome to the main stage of

697. Canada's Drag Race.

698. He's my number one rose-buddy,

699. it's celebrity stylist, Brad Goreski.

702. I shave it.

703. Ooh, with a weed whacker?

704. Bald.

705. And she's always got the dirt,

706. it's Traci Melchor.

707. Hey, soil sister. Hey, Traci.

708. What's the key to being a video star?

709. I could teach you, but I'd have to charge.

710. And she's always in her pretty girl era.

711. It's Lu Kala! Hi, Brooke.

712. Hi, Lu Kala.

713. Do you have any advice on how to get a hit single?

714. If you stay single, you don't got to get single.

715. It's time for the queens to make

716. their premiere on the main stage.

717. Racers, start your engines,

718. and may the best drag queen win.

719. Category is "You Oughta Know... Me",

720. your very best drag. First up, Minhi Wang.

721. Ooh.

722. This is Minhi Wang

723. boss level glamour.

724. She is a madame of a very high-class brothel,

725. and she is looking like she owns everything.

726. You've got scales.

727. The whole gown is a design masterpiece.

728. The dragon itself is actually 3D printed,

729. and this dragon is going to bring me good luck.

730. This runway is dragon. Oh.

731. She walked off the wrong-

732. That way.

733. Next, Jaylene Tyme.

734. The inspiration for my runway tonight is

735. old Hollywood glamour at its finest.

736. Diamonds are a girl's breast friend.

737. I want to show the judges that

738. I am a drag superstar...

739. that I pay attention to the details.

740. Embroider? I hardly know her.

741. So gorgeous, so fabulous,

742. so "Mm!"

743. Next, Tara Nova.

744. The fantasy is dripping...

745. wet gawd-dess.

746. She's making waves in this competition.

747. Yes, she is. This is the water.

748. This is the ocean, right where I came from,

749. where I grew up.

750. Water is life and, baby, I'm the life of the party.

751. I heard she's a fisherman's friend.

752. Makayla Couture.

753. Ooh, it's our Supreme.

754. Can all the divas stand up with me?

755. I am pumping down the stage

756. wearing this beautiful yellow gown

757. encrusted with stones, baby.

758. She's our dream girl.

759. Oh, girl, you can put me on

760. the cover of Essence.

761. This is not just that little girl you met on Season 2.

762. She's in her pretty girl "hair-a".

763. You see what I did there? You see what I did there?

764. Next, Xana.

765. So this is a demon twink!

766. I'm wearing a quilted,

767. genuine leather suit with tiger print.

768. I've earned these stripes,

769. and I'm gonna show you exactly why.

770. Easy, tiger.

771. This look is authentic to me.

772. It's very pretty, very pussy.

773. I am the CEO.

774. I am the mogul and I want to represent that.

775. I want to look powerful.

776. Oh, Xana do me.

777. The Virgo Queen.

778. The fantasy is disco queen, honey.

779. Ooh.

780. Someone call a doctor.

781. She's got Saturday night fever.

782. I am going for a 70s style.

783. It's a different silhouette that I've never worn before.

784. I heard she's a total bell bottom.

785. Come on, winner.

786. It's like I'm rich in these motherfucking

787. ostrich feathers, honey.

788. And now, Perla.

789. I am serving graffiti wall, street art.

790. She's going to say it and spray it.

791. I want to showcase my love of fashion in this

792. beautiful recreation of a very famous dress,

793. but we decided to spray paint it with my name

794. because, branding.

795. What a name dropper.

796. Next, Sanjina Dabish Queen.

797. Come through, royal blue and silver.

798. Look at those hips.

799. Look at the cinched waist.

800. My Brown girl hair and those sleeves.

801. Sorry, not motherfucking sorry.

802. Bollywood baddie!

803. I stomped that fucking runway,

804. and I'm going to be stomping this fucking runway

805. all the motherfucking time.

806. You can achieve anything

807. if you just be-sleeve in yourself.

808. Now, Helena Poison.

809. I'm serving vagina dentata.

810. I don't even know what to call it.

811. I just wanted monster cuts on me

812. in the shape of lingerie.

813. Nailed it.

814. It's giving mother...

815. monster.

816. My drag is made by me, and honestly,

817. there's something funny to be said about

818. my very best drag being foam and hot glue.

819. Edward Scissorhands ain't got nothing on her.

820. Meow.

821. Tiffany Ann Co.

822. Well, isn't she just tickled pink?

823. I'm giving you the full Britney fantasy.

824. I'm ready for the Tiffany tour,

825. and I'm here to work, bitch.

826. Who the fuck is this gorgeous whore?

827. It's everything that I was told I wasn't

828. allowed to wear when I was younger.

829. Baby Spice with the pigtails

830. with a little bit of Sailor Moon.

831. She's got me seeing pop stars.

832. I was told, "No, no, no,"

833. and I'm saying, "Yeah."

834. And finally, Uma Gahd.

835. Look up and there she is,

836. Gahd, herself.

837. She is here to bless you and

838. bless everyone around you.

839. Hail, Mary!

840. There is a spiritual element to my drag,

841. a political element to my drag,

842. and I could not be prouder

843. to show the judges who Uma Gahd is.

844. She's serving Gahdy-ody-ody.

845. Welcome, queens.

846. Based on your entrance looks,

847. your performance in the music video,

848. and your best drag runway,

849. the judges have made some decisions.

850. If you earn a rosebud, you are in the top three.

851. If you are pricked by a thorn,

852. you are in the bottom.

853. When I call your name, please step forward.

854. Xana...

855. - You are safe. - Thank you.

856. You may exit the stage.

857. Jaylene Tyme...

858. Your first impression was...

859. everything.

860. Condragulations, you have earned yourself a rosebud.

861. Oh my God.

862. Uma Gahd...

863. You are safe.

864. Thank you.

865. Tara Nova...

866. You're ground-breaking...

867. but your entrance look needed to dig a little deeper.

868. I'm sorry, but you have earned yourself a thorn.

869. Ouch.

870. Makayla Couture...

871. Ooh, girl.

872. Your music video performance

873. made us want to hit repeat.

874. Condragulations.

875. Shut the fuck up!

876. You've earned yourself a rosebud.

877. Thank you! Yes!

878. Perla...

879. You're a rising star, but your performance in

880. the music video just missed the charts.

881. I'm sorry, but you have earned yourself a thorn.

882. That is A-okay. It looks cute with my outfit.

883. - That's the spirit.

884. Sanjina Dabish Queen.

885. Ah, you said my name!

886. - You can step, step forward. - I've waited so long.

887. - Oh yes.

888. - You are safe. - Ah! What the fuck!

889. - You may exit the stage.

890. Oh my god. I need to get out of here

891. before she changes her mind.

892. You better run out of here.

893. Tiffany Ann Co...

894. On the runway, you showed us your very best,

895. but it left us wanting more.

896. I'm sorry, but you have earned yourself a thorn.

897. Okay.

898. That leaves us with three queens

899. and one rosebud.

900. The Virgo Queen...

901. Your very best drag

902. made us want to stop and smell the roses.

903. Cool, take a sniff.

904. Condragulations, you've earned yourself a rosebud.

905. Thank you.

906. Minhi Wang, Helena Poison,

907. you are both safe.

908. I'm okay with that.

909. Queens, you represent the tops

910. and the bottoms of the week.

911. It's now time for the judges' critiques.

912. First up, Jaylene Tyme.

913. Hi, Brooke.

914. Right in the nick of time, here you are.

915. It's so wonderful to have you here and

916. what a great start to the competition for you.

917. Your entrance look was beautiful.

918. It was a wonderful combination of all those

919. things that kind of encompass you and your drag.

920. The second you walked into the werkroom,

921. I was like, damn, so well put together,

922. but there was also a very...

923. personal, really important message behind it as well.

924. I think it's really important for myself as

925. an Indigenous, two-spirit, transgender human being

926. to really rise up and bring along my culture,

927. and also remember the missing murdered Indigenous women,

928. two-spirits and girls that we've lost.

929. And for myself, I'm a 60s Scoop adoptee,

930. so I'm in a reconciliation, a personal one for myself.

931. The way you combined both your cultural identity

932. and who you are as a performer,

933. it was powerful and it was glamourous.

934. I loved your video.

935. Your video shared that 70s realness.

936. I loved your song as well.

937. It was different than everybody else's song.

938. Everybody else more so rapped, but you sang.

939. And on the runway tonight,

940. you look absolutely sensational.

941. Oh, thank you. It's my pretty girl era.

942. Next up, Tara Nova.

943. Good day, b'y.

944. What are y'at?

945. I have to say I think your makeup is beautiful.

946. The entrance makeup, stunning.

947. Right now, just sensational.

948. 10 years, baby, 10 years of makeup.

949. Well, it shows, it's beautiful.

950. Your entrance look, for me, was a little...

951. messy.

952. There were just so many parts happening

953. for such a small dress, so it was a little

954. hard for me to kind of go like, oh, that's who she is.

955. You have such a wonderful,

956. easy, fun energy about you.

957. But to me, the drag I've seen so far

958. has looked a little bit hodgepodge-y.

959. That's kind of what I got with the entrance look.

960. It looked like something you would wear after

961. your number to walk around the bar,

962. not to walk into the main stage of

963. Canada's Drag Race with.

964. I thought your music video was good.

965. It was also my favourite look of your three.

966. I saw pop star potential.

967. All the ingredients were there.

968. I just would have liked to have seen it baked longer.

969. I think sometimes when you're filming a

970. music video, you're trying to focus on like,

971. do I know the words and what am I wearing,

972. am I comfortable?

973. So sometimes it takes a little bit away

974. from who you are.

975. You see this face card right here?

976. I really wish I saw a little more of that in the video.

977. Thank you.

978. Next up, Makayla Couture.

979. Hi.

980. Well, the prom queen is all grown up.

981. It's so great to have you back.

982. With titties.

983. Congratulations. Thank you.

984. Your music video, oh, ate.

985. Capital A-T-E.

986. Ate it up. You fed the children.

987. It was like watching a pop star.

988. The part about gasp, gasp, gasp, asthma,

989. that's like Nicki Minaj stuff.

990. You are such a diva.

991. You are such a star.

992. I'm obsessed.

993. I'm sorry, I want the song right now.

994. I want the song right now because the way you ate

995. down on that song, you're in a league of your own.

996. Thank you, baby.

997. This look, as somebody who's seen way too many

998. Diana Ross concerts, you are embodying every diva

999. that we've idolized over the years.

1000. Yellow is absolutely your colour,

1001. and you know how to work a stage.

1002. So, keep up the good work.

1003. Thank you.

1004. Next up, the Virgo Queen.

1005. Hey, girl, hey.

1006. You may be an earth sign,

1007. but tonight you are straight fire.

1008. So I was the Virgo Queen before you entered.

1009. This look is just, for me, drag dreams.

1010. It's sequins, it's feathers.

1011. It's an interesting silhouette.

1012. I LOVE the hair.

1013. And your presentation was to die for.

1014. I love that you are able to bring in a sense of humour

1015. and fun into all of this beautiful package.

1016. From the time you hit us with your entrance look,

1017. giving us all kinds of Y2K princess,

1018. you're really shining and showing us

1019. different sides of you.

1020. I loved your verse.

1021. You were so dynamic.

1022. I love that you switched up your flow.

1023. You went from like singing a little bit to rapping.

1024. You're right at home on stage.

1025. You were just having a good time and

1026. we're having a good time with you.

1027. Thank you so much.

1028. Next up, Perla.

1029. Sup?

1030. For your verse, you had some really good lines.

1031. You don't have to say it was good.

1032. I'm about to switch, don't worry.

1033. Beautiful, I'm ready.

1034. You had some good lines,

1035. but you didn't bring them to life.

1036. It fell flat for me.

1037. You said, "whip my hair while I cash my cheque."

1038. And it was a... Yeah!

1039. I personally was a massive fan of the cowboy glam,

1040. but I felt like some of your personality was missing.

1041. Let's talk your entrance look.

1042. As soon as I saw you, I said,

1043. "Oh, yeah, she a fashion queen."

1044. And I like this look also because it is serving a

1045. different colour story than the first two looks.

1046. Is this an homage to Alexander McQueen?

1047. This is, but then mixing a little bit of that

1048. Richard Quinn kind of vibe, minus the Latex

1049. 'cause I would like to breathe.

1050. Well, it all works. It looks great on you.

1051. Thank you.

1052. I think it's really interesting that

1053. we're getting more personality from you

1054. right now than we have in the last three rounds.

1055. I feel like I'm getting to know you as a person,

1056. but I want to get to know you through your drag as well.

1057. This is the place, and this is the time,

1058. so let it all hang out.

1059. Tiffany Ann Co.

1060. I thought your entrance look was so cute.

1061. It was the perfect introduction to you.

1062. I kind of got who you were immediately.

1063. Your music video, I mean, it's Tiffany, bitch.

1064. I didn't come to play.

1065. And I felt like it had that energy

1066. when I was watching you perform.

1067. I really liked your song.

1068. And the flow and the lyrics I thought were good.

1069. Are you trying to give me a run for my money?

1070. Like what's going on right now?

1071. I've been walking around backstage, going,

1072. "Who the fuck is this gorgeous whore?"

1073. It's Tiffany, bitch.

1074. Like, it's very memorable.

1075. The whole pop princess thing suits you really, really well.

1076. I think the problem is this look gives me

1077. pop princess onstage, not pop princess best drag.

1078. I could have seen you wear this in the music video,

1079. not here on the main stage.

1080. This is your opportunity to show us,

1081. and also show the audience, who they're dealing with,

1082. and right now, we're dealing with a lot of bodysuits.

1083. Thank you, queens.

1084. You may leave the stage.

1085. Bye.

1086. Oh my god, here they are!

1087. Hi, my angels!

1088. It's wild up there. It really is.

1089. What did we miss? How are we all feeling?

1090. I'm a little prickly. I'm just as prickly.

1091. I just thought I was horny, but I'm also thorny.

1092. The vibe in untucked is a little intense.

1093. We don't know what's gonna happen.

1094. Is someone going home today?

1095. Is someone winning $5000 today?

1096. Are they gonna share that prize money with me

1097. because they think I should have been there?

1098. I'm...

1099. a little perturbed...

1100. to not be in the top...

1101. only because like I felt like I was giving,

1102. and I don't want to get in my head about it,

1103. but like it is a little...

1104. sad for me.

1105. Honestly, I'm waiting to see more.

1106. If you talk a big game, you have to deliver,

1107. and she didn't.

1108. When there's 11 people in the room,

1109. I'm very happy being safe because there's a lot of

1110. fucking talented people here.

1111. Congratulations to

1112. Jaylene, Makayla, Virgo.

1113. Thank you, thank you.

1114. I feel like I'm truly being seen,

1115. and it feels amazing.

1116. I really feel welcomed and a part of,

1117. and it's very special.

1118. I'm sorry, I'm that mom, right.

1119. Be that mom, be that mom.

1120. So Makayla, when's the album coming out?

1121. Oh my god!

1122. Honestly, I really didn't know how it was gonna go,

1123. and I'm so honoured to have...

1124. gotten this rose for the music video.

1125. I used to write lyrics in my bedroom by myself,

1126. and like, getting to do this reignited that light.

1127. I literally could cry right now.

1128. Being in the top of the first episode of Season 5,

1129. it's just so perfect.

1130. I feel so grateful to be here.

1131. Of course, I'm so glad that you're doing okay, and...

1132. I'm an emotional one,

1133. and it feels really validating.

1134. I feel appreciated, and I don't really

1135. have those experiences very often.

1136. So fashion girlies? Yeah?

1137. How are we feeling with the thorns?

1138. You know, y'all ate your verses,

1139. every single one of you ate your verses,

1140. and I was like, you know what?

1141. I tried, I tried.

1142. Hearing the judges' critiques, I agree completely.

1143. I honestly think I needed this.

1144. I need to not be afraid

1145. to show what's behind the curtain.

1146. Honestly, like I didn't fully agree

1147. that I should be in the bottom,

1148. but I also understand, because I think,

1149. looking around when I saw everyone getting ready,

1150. I was like...

1151. "Fuck!"

1152. Overall, the judges had very good critiques about me.

1153. The only thing, which I knew was gonna bite me in the ass

1154. a little bit, was that it was another bodysuit.

1155. I think that after my critiques, like...

1156. I'm sorry, guys, I don't mean to be that girl.

1157. I really don't.

1158. I am feeling so defeated right now

1159. because this is my art.

1160. I made these things that are on my body.

1161. To hear that something that I worked so hard for

1162. and on is hodgepodge, that...

1163. just struck a chord.

1164. In Newfoundland, we have no other choice

1165. but to work with what we have.

1166. In order to feed myself, maybe some of my stuff

1167. may be a little bit crafty,

1168. but I can tell you that I put

1169. so much heart into that.

1170. For a long time, I just have never been able to

1171. feel adequate in my life in anything that I've done,

1172. and coming from a rural community and

1173. these places where I was constantly...

1174. ridiculed for being the only queer person there,

1175. and then finally, I'm on a queer show

1176. where I can showcase what I can do

1177. and the talents that I do have,

1178. that I was made fun of for in the past...

1179. but I guess it's still not good enough.

1180. You are enough. Thank you.

1181. - You are enough. - You're fucking here.

1182. - Yeah, girl. - Exactly.

1183. That part. Am I Nearah Nuff?

1184. No!

1185. Welcome back, queens.

1186. We've made some decisions.

1187. Jaylene Tyme...

1188. You are safe.

1189. You may move to the back of the stage.

1190. Tiffany Ann Co...

1191. You are safe.

1192. You may move to the back of the stage.

1193. I'm just so pretty.

1194. Here at Canada's Drag Race,

1195. we believe in first impressions.

1196. But we also believe in second chances.

1197. So this week, everything's coming up roses

1198. because no one is going home.

1199. Oh, my god.

1200. Perla, Tara Nova,

1201. you are both safe.

1202. You may move to the back of the stage.

1206. Yes, baby.

1207. And you will lip sync for the win.

1208. - Yay! - Yes!

1209. Two queens stand before us.

1210. Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare

1211. a lip sync performance of

1212. "Pretty Girl Era" by Lu Kala.

1213. This is your chance to impress us and

1214. earn the first win of the season.

1215. The time has come...

1216. for you to lip sync...

1217. FOR! THE! WIN!

1218. Good luck...

1219. and don't fuck. It. up.

1220. Yeah!

1221. Yeah!

1222. Hey! Hey!

1223. I'm so gagged!

1224. I live!

1225. Now that's how you start a season.

1226. Queens, we've made our decision.

1227. The Virgo Queen...

1228. Condragulations!

1229. You are the winner of this week's maxi challenge.

1230. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

1231. How much money did I win?

1232. Oh, now you want to know?

1233. Well, you have won $5000!

1234. Made possible by our partner, Gilead Sciences Canada.

1235. Period!

1236. Makayla Couture, incredible work this week.

1237. Thank you.

1238. Condragulations, queens.

1239. You all live to slay another day.

1240. Now the world has never needed the

1241. magic of drag more, so remember...

1242. stay true, north, strong, and what?

1243. Fierce!

1244. Yes, now let the music play!

1245. Next time on Canada's Drag Race...

1246. Aliens have sashayed onto planet earth.

1247. It's time we give them a close encounter

1248. of the drag kind.

1249. Are we on page one still?

1250. Yes.

1251. Are you gonna label the page?

1252. Oh my god.

1253. I just don't want to get mixed up.

1254. Even if we, like... Are you okay?

1255. Maybe I'm overthinking.

1256. I'm probably overthinking.

1257. My name's Jenny Tramp. The HBC-

1258. You're just like eating your words.

1259. Okay.

1260. This is a car crash waiting to happen.

1261. Justice for Juice Boxx.
