And then there were four!
One of you will be Canada's next drag superstar.
Aurora Matrix.
Oh my God, you are just lighting up the stage.
You're making my heart beat fast.
I have different sides of me when I perform.
-Oh! -It's giving full package.
Denim. Ooh!
You are doing this avant garde drag,
but it has this extreme polish to it.
Yah.
I had no idea you had all those tricks up your sleeve!
-[Gasping] -Move over, bitches.
I'm coming to steal the competition.
Venus.
When you're in something, you're in it,
and you commit 100%.
Meow!
Girl, you are shimmering. You are sexy.
Your look tonight is like a fashion boner.
I am here to terminate these bitches.
Bam!
Nearah Nuff.
The way you move your body is just so seductive.
I love watching you perform.
I'm here to prove that Calgary can go
all the way to the end.
It's incredible seeing you from week one to
where you are right now. Girls better watch out.
[Aurora] The competition right now is
truly neck and neck.
[Nearah] I am a star, and I came here to win.
[Venus] I have the charisma, the uniqueness,
the nerve and talent. I have it all.
[Denim] These bitches better watch out.
Nothing's getting in between me and that crown.
-This is exciting. -This is very exciting.
Melinda, Melinda.

[Clapping] Melinda...
Girl, you put up a good fight.
"Even a small droplet creates ripples.
Don't be afraid to make waves."
Melinda's message is just so important.
Drag has never been needed more.
-To the couch! -To the couch!
-Woo-hoo!
[Laughing]
Okay, but top four.
[Cheering]
We went through a lot to get here.
I'm just like so happy to be sharing this with y'all.
We are all so different.
But we all have connected over the art of drag.
But only one of us can win.
We only have so much time to celebrate because...
the competition now...
is intense.
Let's say it all together.
I have never...
-...been in the bottom. -Been in the bottom.
-Right. -I'm the performer.
We all know that. I am a lip sync assassin.
I mean, we all know there's a lip sync for the crown, so...
-Oh! -Oh?
I feel like I've shown like a lot of fucking versatility
throughout this competition. Y'all should be scared.
I don't know, it could go either way with anyone.
And we still have to prove ourselves one last time.
I love you all, but I would love to get out of drag.
-Let's do it. -Top four!
Top four!
No one is ready for what I'm about to bring.
[Shrieking]
Venus, Denim, Nearah,
I love you all, but...
there can only be one winner.
[Screaming]
I am going to stop at nothing to get that crown.
Ah!
[Growling]
I want to win, I want to win. I have to win, I must win!

Do we think track record like matters at this point?
Selfishly, of course, I want track record to be part of it.
Being the only girl with two wins, I'm like okay,

This is just like an accumulation of

Gisèle Lullaby!
She is the winner from last season.
I'm trying to soak up all of her winning powers
right now, girl. Come to me!
-We're here! -Top four.
What surprised you the most about this competition?
That I can literally do anything.
The design challenges really, really got me shaking.
Oh, really?
But I was in the top for the design challenge last week,
so what up?
What else have you learned about yourself?
I'm not like the typical girl, I'm untucked.
I don't pluck my eyebrows, I'm like-
-That's your real ones? -Yeah.
-You bitch. -Thank you.
[Laughing]
Like I can leave here being like...
I did it, and like, I did it really fucking well.
With those eyebrows, I would guess so.
[Laughing]
What was something that you didn't expect from winning?
The best part of winning is the recognition everywhere.
Usually because we're underground as a drag queen
that we don't count as celebrities.
So, it was really nice to be appreciated this way.
You're doing that for who?
I'm doing it for my mom, for my family.
I'm doing it for my ancestors.
I'm doing it for my grandmother.
I'm doing it like for the Metis side of my family,
for like everyone who has ever believed in me,
and ultimately, for myself.
You have to believe in yourself too.
Do you believe you could win?
I do, absolutely.
Are you ready for the photo shoot?
Let's do it, born ready, baby.
Yeah, let's bring the crown.

I mean, I'm not surprised.
Girl, we've been put through the wringer.
-I know. -And she made it on top.
What did you learn during the competition?
I learned that like I truly am my biggest competition.
Any time that I had any type of downfall,
it's because I got in my head,
but having to lip sync for my life...
something clicked, and I was like,
I need to be here, I need to fight.
I might as well just show off everything else
that I have, you know.

How was the competition with you?
Has it been hard?

We're both from the same drag scene.
I'm so excited to see her.
-This is crazy. -How do you feel?
I feel amazing, this is like a dream come true.
Did you picture yourself in the top four?
I came into this competition with like a lot of self-doubt.
But why do you think you doubt yourself?
I've had to really like fight for my place
in the drag community.
I've been told either like...
I don't deserve to take up space, as a trans man,
or like the only reason I get the opportunities I do
is because I'm trans, and...
I don't actually deserve them.
So, being in the top four has like proven
I deserve to be here.
-You need that validation. -Yeah, for sure.
What has been the most fun part of this competition?
Being able to put my like...
design skills to the test was really fun.
-It's like a boot camp. -Literally.
Girl, the trauma, like, we've been through it!
Perfect. Are you ready to do a photo shoot?

Now it is time for choreography
by Hollywood Jade.
Time to work, let's do this.
Good to see you again. I'm glad you're still here.
-How's it feeling? -It feels correct.
Alright.
Give me some insight into who Aurora Matrix...
is as an artist and as a performer.
I love to give a little comedy within the fierce vibes.
Now is not the time to like give like, like 50% energy.
Not when there's $100,000 on the line.
Come on. Let's get into some steps.
Here we go, you're gonna start.
You're stepping on your right foot.
You're going ta-ta, catch.
Hollywood is wasting no time.
He is jumping right in with this choreography,
and we are giving you the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
And a 1, and 2- and shoot this down.
Throw this over, look to the back.
These judges know how I perform.
I've won the performance challenges.
Try it again.
So, what else do I have in the tank to let the judges
know that I still got it, girl?
And a 1, and 2, and a 3, and switch, and head.
There we go.
Make eye contact, making sure you feel
like you're pulling people in.
There's no room for doubt. There's no room for fear.
Hello!
The cream rises to the top,
and here you are in the top four.
How do you envision your performance
happening for this finale?
I'm not really a choreo gal.
But I like campy, and like conceptual.
She's trying to sell me on less steps, more concept.
-Yeah! -Okay.
Let's just try some steps and see how this lands.
The last time Hollywood Jade taught us choreo-
-Hands on your hips. -It was a lot, girl.
1, 2, 3, 4.
He put us through it.
-Down, down, up, 1 and 2. -Ooh, sorry.
It's okay, I have all the faith in you.
You've got it, small steps.
I have a slow processing speed so,
it usually takes me a bit longer to get it.
But I'm not letting it psych me out because
I know I fully have it in me.
Here we go, 1, close.
2, close, go down...
Down, down, up, right, left.
Yes! Yes!
You've just got to commit and lean all the way in.
That's what makes a superstar.
And know that you've got it because if you don't know it,
how are they gonna know it?
-Uh, uh, uh! -Let's go.
Let's do it. Hi.
Hi. How do you want the world to receive Nearah Nuff?
I'm here for a reason.
Everybody already knows me as the tricks and
the dancing queen, so like- -Okay.
That's still what I want to give them.
Let's see how this fits into the world of Nearah Nuff.
Alright, here we go.
Buckle up...
'cause it's gonna be a show.
Ba-ah, ooh.
Smack, smack, roll and pop.
Got it.
This is the finale.
If you slip or fall, or fuck it up,
right now, it's a $100,000 mistake.
It's a little tricky 'cause you're going...
-Whip and land. -Got it.
Yeah, take it back, here we go.
And 1, 2, around, hip, hip, rolling down,
popping, popping, popping, and kick ball change,
hit and hit, ha! Yes.
Your job will be to remain as cool, calm,
and collected as you can.
That'll really help sell that you are that bitch.
Yes.
[Singing] Crown and sceptre.
Crown, crown, and sceptre.
Crown and sceptre.
So how are we gonna lay it all out for the finale,
like what are we giving?
My verses are very rap heavy.
-Okay. -I want like uh-uh-uh-uh.
Okay. Here we go.
Start with your left foot in front.
I am scared. I do have two left feet.
So, I'm going 1, 2, and 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
And then step out right, left.
1- uh-uh. 1, 2 and 3, 4.
So you've got to pick up on 4.
Okay, okay. Yes, got it, got it, yup.
1, pause. What's happening with this upper hand?
Uh-uh.
[Gasping] Help me.
-How tall are you? -6' 6" in heels.
Move like you're 6"6 in heels.
-Okay. -Don't move like you're 4"4.
-Okay. -Take up space.
-Nobody wants this. -Right.
This works for nobody.
5, 6, 7, 8. Uh-uh.
In my song, I say, "Looking back, no regrets".
-Try it from the top. -Okay.
So, I need to leave it all out on the stage.
I need to drill this into my brain,
and fucking put on a show.
So just keep pushing yourself forward.

We all love you so much, and...
I hope you trip and fall.
[Laughing]
-Miss Aurora? -Yes, Venus?
I think we have all got lost in your matrix.
Your poise, just hearing you speak,
and the way that you know yourself.
She's got that grace.
I fully knew what you were capable of.
I knew you were that bitch.
But like I'm really happy about the connection
that we've built, like throughout this competition.
Well, thank you, girlie.
Us short girls, we've got to stick together.
We do!
Denim, I'm just so excited to see even more looks from you.
Your looks are the most conceptual,
and you're really fucking good at what you do, girl.
Like Brooke Lynn said,
when we go right, Denim goes left,
and the judges are looking for that shock factor,
and Denim is always able to give it every single time.
I love all of you so much.
What's everybody's impression of Denim?
-"I'm scared." -[Laughing]
"They're trying to send me home."
"I'm nervous." Ends up in the top.

First up, Denim.
-Oh! -Gorgeous!
[Denim] I'm walking onto the stage in these giant,
bimbo titties, and I rip them off.
-Ooh! -And they turn into a purse.
I wish my top surgery was that easy.
My scars are encrusted in rhinestones because
they've become a sacred part of my body.
I want to show the judges everything that I've talked
about representing, and put it into this final look.
Absolutely abulous!
[Denim] I wanted to flex on these hoes.
[Laughing]
[Brooke Lynn] Venus.
Oh my God!
[Venus] I really feel like the belle of the ball
in this moment.
[Traci] Hollywood!
[Venus] This is my final look on this runway, and...
this really represents what I've been through,
the light is shining through this gown over the darkness.
Oh!
[Venus] I'm thinking about my ancestors.
I'm thinking about creator. I look like a queen.
The queen of the mothertucking world!
[Traci] The gold and the beautiful, baby.
[Brooke Lynn] Nearah Nuff.
-Woo! -Oh!
[Nearah] Walking down this runway,
I am giving coronation eleganza.
I am in royal blue with a tiny waist,
a huge bustle because she has got that hustle.
And, a little bit of chiffon, darling.
-Stunning! -Whoa!
[Nearah] I look expensive.
I look regal.
This girl is going for the crown.
She really bustled her ass to get to the finale!
[Laughing]
[Brooke Lynn] And finally, Aurora Matrix.
-Yes. -Oh, stunning!
[Aurora] This look represents not only myself,
but my family and my culture.
It's giving ancient Chinese empress,
and baby, this look is not ready to wear.
It's ready to rule.
I have these huge sleeves covered in rhinestones,
jewels, phoenixes, dragons.
You name it, I've got it.
Yeah!
I'm looking gorgeous, and baby, it's giving winner.
Slay it right...
-Slay it all. -Ah!
Welcome, Queens.
Our fab four.
Yesterday, you all did a photo shoot with our
Season 3 winner, GGisèle Lullaby.
Denim, here is your best shot.
[Laughing]
Oh, thank God.
[Laughing]
Tell me about your drag journey to get here.
To stand here as the first trans man
on Canada's Drag Race,
and being able to represent that,
be an advocate and,
still like bring joy to the world with my art is
all I could ever hope and dream to do.
I know everyone back home is so proud of me,
and like saw me getting to this point.
But like, I needed to prove that to myself,
and I needed to be able to finally like
feel proud of myself, and...
I think I've accomplished that.
Denim, I know you've spoken about your challenges,
being shy and on the spectrum,
but what you may perceive as traits to hold you back,
we see as gifts to not only us, but the world.
Thank you.
Venus, here is your best picture with Gisèle Lullaby.
Tell me what it took to get you here.
A year ago, I...
didn't know if I was still gonna be here.
I almost took away the most precious thing from myself,
which is this life.
So, just standing here in front of all of you just
proves that I can pull myself out of that darkness.
And, what was once a dream is now my reality.
And, to be here in this moment as the first
Indigenous queen in this finale is like...
an incredible honour, and something that
I do not take lightly.
I can totally relate to where you were.
I've been in that spot before.
I tried to do the same thing when I was 23 years old.
I'm so glad that the world is getting to see you.
It's been an absolute joy.
Thank you, Brad.
Nearah Nuff.
Here is your best shot with Gisèle.
[Laughing]
-Oh, I love that look. -Yes!
Tell me about your journey to get to here.
Looking back at me in my small town,
where I didn't know what I was gonna do...
I went to Calgary.
I started the world of drag,
and I knew that I was fucking good at it.
Little me, looking at where I am now,
is the most surreal thing ever because
I've gotten everything I've wanted.
Nearah, you really have...
clawed your way up here.
I think you were the definition of a fighter
in this competition.
So, you should be so proud of yourself.
Yes, you are a lip sync assassin of the season,
but I would also venture to say that you're
the lip sync assassin of the series.
And I would absolutely buy a ticket to see you perform.
Thank you.
Aurora Matrix.
Here is your best photo with Gisèle.
Ooh, come on, gown.
Tell me about your journey to get to here.
Growing up in a traditional Chinese
and religious family,
I was just a scared little kid...
who was afraid to be gay and proud.
But seeing myself in that picture,
I can see how far I've come,
and how much that little kid has grown.
And I want all the little gay-sian little kids
out there...
to see that and to know that they can do that too.
Drag and Drag Race has brought me and
my parents back together.
[Crying]
And to know that they love me and support me,
what I represent, what I did on this show,
and what I have achieved,
I never would have imagined that.
Thank you.
You're going to be that role model for
some little kid out there. What could be more perfect?
What could be more full circle than that for you?
How could your family not be proud of you?
♪
It is now time for your final critique,
starting with Denim.
Seeing you standing here before us right now,
it feels like you've finally broken in those jeans.
[Laughing]
I loved your song. Really fun and flirty.
To me, you're trans excellence.
You are bringing joy and a childlike spirit and energy
to what you do that makes you so you.
That's how you build a legacy is by being yourself.
And this look tonight,
it's just so beautifully crafted.
And the wig is just breathtaking.
You are a true artist, through and through.
[Singing] It's Venus!
[Laughing]
Literally me while I was eating my chicken at lunch.
[Laughing]
Your song had such an addictive hook.
You branded yourself, you gave us an earworm.
Your performance was everything Venus.
It was a lot of, you know,
hard posing and giving us body.
I'm so inspired by you today.
It's your energy and your personality.
And, I'm proud of you.
♪
This look tonight has...
layers, it has glitter,
it has old Hollywood glamour.
And the hair, it's giving me Rita Hayworth.
From winning the ball, week one,
all the way through,
your fashion has just been gorgeous.
You're beautiful because your heart is beautiful.
You're like learning how to embrace the light and
the dark, and that's the ticket.
Thank you.
Nearah Nuff.
Your track, "Stampede Drag Queen",
was more than enough.
You had me wanting to go back to the Stampede
with the lasso choreography.
Your song had a lot of words.
-Oh yeah. -I was like, oh, girl...
I don't know if I've spoken that many words in this month.
But we got such a good idea of who you are,
who you are as a performer, who you are as a person.
The choreography was spot on.
I've never seen a queen dominate choreo that
ferociously and that precisely.
The gigs are going to be gigging.
It is going to be very busy for you 'cause everybody's
gonna want to have the Nearah Nuff experience.
You're an elite performer, who is going to be
performing for your entire life.
And your look tonight, you are just stunning
in this sapphire blue,
the off the shoulder, like,
this whole Grecian Goddess look.
You look like a cowboy's dream tonight.
Thank you.
-Aurora Matrix. -Hello, judges.
Your song was fantastic.
Your song had one of my favourite hooks-
Hot! It was so catchy.
I've never had so many people yell "top" at me before.
[Laughing]
Dreams do come true.
[Laughing]
It told us who Aurora Matrix is.
Your choreography was engaging and electric.
You have been just this amazing...
bright light in this competition.
So, let's talk about your look this evening
with this spectacular Phoenix rising.
Top to tail, it is magnificent.
I love the fact that you are always paying homage
to your Asian heritage.
What a beautiful, rich culture to pull from,
and I love how proud you are of that.

Thank you, queens. You may all leave the stage.

-Ah! -[Giggling]
Ah!
Oh my God!
Ah!
Today was really like a celebration of
all of our different drag styles,
and hearing them give us all these critiques-
-I feel- -Anyone request an in-call?
Ah! [Cheering]
[Indistinct chatter]
Oh my God, my Girlfriend is home!
[Laughing]
By the way, I just want to say this,
everybody looks correct!
-Yes, Ma'am! -[Laughing]
Well, Sisi, you may have left first,
but we've been talking about you forever.
I don't know any other bitch who would walk down
the runway with no shoes on.
-Ah! -[Laughing]
But like, you made it iconic.
Thank you.
I think everyone who's here knows how much work
it takes to come here. And, you know what?
I still showed quite a lot in that
small amount of time that I was here.
-Definitely, yeah. -So, that I'm proud of.
Knowing Sisi, this look is the embodiment of her drag.
I'm so obsessed.
Walking into this workroom,
I thought I was gonna be the oldest queen,
until this one right here
shocked the whole world.
That's right, but not the oldest looking.
-Ah! -[Laughing]
When you reach a certain age, you don't just stop.
Drag is an art form, we just keep going.
Yeah, exactly.
Girlfriend, how are you? What's going on, girl?
I've been so good.
I just feel so rejuvenated.
I struggled in the last year with the blur between
drag and being trans.
And like, this competition like fully...
shook me in the best way.
And I feel like I know now, moving forward,
how to keep things separated and, ultimately,
I think it's just going to work better for me
and my mental health.
I don't want to, you know, stir the pot or anything,
but when I left it was pretty friendly.
The thing to know is how it went after I left.
-Oh! [Laughing] -Ah!
Girl, shit got wild.
[Laughing]
If you must know, Sisi, Aimee said I was
giving nothing in the girl group challenge.
-Hey, hey, I didn't say that. -And I was safe.
Well, you might as well have.
Let me just clear the water. I want to say I'm so sorry.
There is nothing for me to say like bad about your drag.
You look beautiful.
I would like you to paint my face once.
I'll let you know how much I charge, but yes.
[Laughing]
After that, it was then Aimee and Nearah.
[Laughing]
-Yup, yup. -Yeah!
-Okay, I'm leaving, bye. -[Laughing]
It was just a moment...
that led to us both being in the bottom.
Aimee going, "You think your outfit's better than mine?"
And I was like, "Yeah."
-[Laughing] -Yeah!
It was kind of rude.
Don't get me wrong, I was a bitch.
I want to say something right here.
I am one of your biggest fans.
You are so amazing performing.
It's so beautiful to watch you.
Oh-ho!
It's so nice that Aimee has given me
forgiveness and grace.
I love you, girl.
To my Alberta sister, Nearah, you know what?
I met you when you were still a baby queen,
and look at you now.
The way you've grown is just tremendous,
and I'm just so proud of you, and so,
congratulations, seriously.
-100% -Thank you so much.
Aurora, look at you right now.
It's giving crazy rich Asian.
-Like look at you. -It is! [Laughing]
From kicks, dips and everything,
you do it all, and you're funny.
You brought it, girl, you really did.
Thank you, babes.
By the way, I manifested Denim being in the top
so hard since the beginning.
-I wrote it on the mirror. -I know!
Yeah, and I had to wipe it down, girl.
I'm so fucking proud of you.
You kept on growing and,
you're literally a fucking icon.
Thank you.
Venus, when I left...
I left you that little napkin note in your makeup bag.
"Bring it home, I'm going to be with you
all the way until the very end,"
and here you are sitting here.
And I'm just like, I'm not gonna cry again.
-Ah! -Don't cry, girl.
-I'm just so proud of you. -Thank you.
Oh yes, I brought someone with me.
Hello!
I brought my best friend!
Oh, well, cheers to the Golden Beaver and Season 4!
[All] Golden Beaver!
[Laughing]
Alright, well, just between us caribous,
what do we think?
Let's start with Denim.
Denim really has created her own lane.
Her song, "The Trantasy", the lyrics were personal
to her journey and her authenticity.
Her performance was great tonight.
I feel like every time we see her perform,
we see her come a little bit more and more alive and
a little bit out of her shell.
And that's what we've been trying to encourage her to do
all through this competition is,
to remove that layer of kind of fear and uncertainty
that we could see, and tonight
we had a confident star in front of us.
I don't know if the song was the most memorable for me.
But her story, her drag, her creativity is something
that's going to inspire a lot of people.
I know it's, it's touched all of us and
inspired us as well.
Her brand is quirky and
that sometimes takes more time to hone.
-Mm-hm. -But she's well on the path.
I feel like in a couple of years she's gonna be
ready to absolutely take over the world.
Alright, up next, Venus.
-[Singing] Venus! -Venus!
Venus!
She has delivered every single challenge.
She really has, she came in, week one,
she won the ball and...
literally has been crushing it ever since.
Nelly, did you like Venus' song?
Loved Venus' song.
Venus' song showed so many sides of her personality.
I love that she took it to the heart too,
talking about her inner child,
her Indigenous identity.
She's just a natural, like she really is a star.
She has that X factor.
She comes on the stage and you feel something.
She checks the boxes.
Look: check. Personality: check.
-Comedy... -Check.
-And finesse. -Check, check, check.
Nearah Nuff.
We've seen her grow.
We've seen her resilience.
She is so dynamic and engaging.
I love the way she moves, super sharp.
But I don't remember anything she said.
I remember something about her being from Calgary,
which is great.
If Nelly Furtado told me to take words out,
I would be like...
[Laughing]
I'm not sure how many words I'd have left.
-Is that better? -Yeah.
You know, like-
Alright, last but certainly not least, Aurora Matrix.
Her single, I mean,
she is a consummate performer.
-It was a great song. -Yeah.
I actually really liked it.
She had a call-back, you know.
-It was, "Top". -Top!
-Hot. -Hot!
She was hitting all the notes that she needed to.
Audience participation, fire choreography.
-She has the right attitude. -Right?
-100%. -She has a good attitude.
She was our safe queen in the beginning.
And, every single week, she's gone up another level.
And then tonight,
coming onto the runway in that gorgeous...
-Ah! -...coronation eleganza.
It was kind of enchanting.
Well, this has been a very tough decision,
but I think we've made it.
