RUPAUL: Previously, on Canada's Drag Race...
JEFFREY: You'll each be paired with one of
our Rainbow Railroad newcomers, and make them over
into the newest members of your drag family.
LEMON: The secret is to just believe in yourself.
Delusional self-confidence is the Lemon brand.
SCARLETT: [gasps] RAINER: Holy shit! [laughs]
PRIYANKA: That's a man, Morey!
JEFFREY: I could tell that you both were having so much fun.
STACEY: Your runway presentation was underwhelming.
I was expecting more.
JEFFREY: I think they're the least cohesive of the night.
BROOKE LYNN: Priyanka, con-drag-ulations.
You are the winner of this week's challenge.
PRIYANKA: Oh-ho-ho!
BROOKE LYNN: Rita Baga, chante, you stay.
For a Lemon, you're pretty sweet.
Now sashay away.

RITA BAGA: Top four! SCARLETT: Top four!
PRIYANKA: Jesus!
Let's see what your boyfriend wrote.
JIMBO: Oh my god.
RITA: Lemon is gone,
and we had so, so, so many good moments together.
RITA: "To my top four, I love you, I'm proud of you."
RITA: And I'll probably be sad for about...
two minutes.
RITA: "And you're all dumb and ugly.
"XOXO, Lemon."
JIMBO: What a sweetheart. PRIYANKA: [laughs]
JIMBO: We'll see you in the fruit drawer.
SCARLETT: [chuckles]
PRIYANKA: Lemon was not only one of my best friends here,
but she was my fiercest competition.
So it's like now that Lemon's gone...
Bye, bitch! [laughs]
SCARLETT: There's so much room on these couches!
[laughter]
SCARLETT: Jimbo and I wouldn't know,
and I hope that we don't ever have to find out,
but what was it like to lip synch
for the first time in the competition?
RITA: Well, just to state the fact,
you don't know about winning either, so okay,
let's continue this conversation.
PRIYANKA: Pardon me?!
[laughter]
SCARLETT: We are on week nine, and I haven't won anything,
but I haven't been in the bottom,
haven't been in the bottom team,
and I haven't had to lip synch yet.
So...
hmm.
PRIYANKA: Well, guess what?
I got my Pri-demption!
SCARLETT: Yeah, Pri-demption!
PRIYANKA: Oh my god, my second wind!
You have 3, 2, 1...
SCARLETT & PRIYANKA: None!
SCARLETT: I get it. I'm the underdog.
I'm nobody's threat.
But I haven't been in the bottom twice!
PRIYANKA: We've gotta get out of drag, then.
RITA: It's top four right now, which means that we have
one chance out of four to win the grand prize.
And now I'm feeling the pressure.
There's no room for mistakes.
RITA: This is my moment.

STACEY: Very soon, one of you queens will become
Canada's first ever drag superstar.
PRIYANKA: It feels amazing! JIMBO: I'm so excited.
STACEY: Your goal is to be the last queen standing,
and if you want to go the distance,
you have to pull out all the stops.
Today's mini challenge will test you.
No, it will screentest you.
PRIYANKA: What's she mean?
JIMBO: She talkin' 'bout a screen test.
PRIYANKA: Who's talkin' 'bout a screen test?!
STACEY: And to run this screen test, we've called in
writer, producer, and comedian, Sabrina Jalees.

SABRINA: Hello, queens! QUEENS: Hi!
PRIYANKA: Sabrina Jalees!
Comedy writer extraordinaire!
SABRINA: It's me, Rosario Dawson!

STACEY: Welcome to Canada's Drag Race, Sabrina girl.
SABRINA: Welcome to being in love with me, Stacey.
STACEY: Oh my gosh! JIMBO: Ooh!
SABRINA: I read energy. [laughter]
STACEY: I know you're a busy beaver in LA.
SABRINA: Okay.
STACEY: What could you tell the ladies about the screen test?
SABRINA: First of all, living and working in Los Angeles
is dope. I am swimming with Rhianna.
I'm shopping with Beyonce.
I'm flossing with Timothee Chalamet. [laughter]
SABRINA: But my heart belongs to Canada,
and nothing gets me going like a powerful rendition...
PRIYANKA: No.
SABRINA: ...of the national anthem.
SCARLETT: Yes! Yes!
SABRINA: So today I'm putting on my producer's hat,
and casting for the role of local singer
in a fictional project I'm calling
"Oh, She Better, Canada."
SCARLETT: Okay. PRIYANKA: [laughs] Oh, no.
SABRINA: Queens, I'm looking for a scene-stealer,
a lady who can bring down the house
while making the country rise to its feet,
then fall to its knees. PRIYANKA: Oh, shit.
SABRINA: Do you know anyone like that?
PRIYANKA: Ooh!
STACEY: Listen, you better stand on guard for she,
because the queen who has the best and funniest audition wins.
You have 20 minutes to get into local chanteuse quick drag.
RITA: That's a French word.
STACEY: And we'll meet you on set.
Ready? Go!
PRIYANKA: [laughs] Alright!
RITA: It's time for natural beauty.
RITA: We have 20 minutes to get into quick drag.
SCARLETT: Can I borrow a pair of your tits, Jimbo?
JIMBO: [laughs]
RITA: We have to sing the national anthem.
It's chaotic.
SCARLETT: Oh, I just did my hair today,
and now I gotta wear a hairnet.
RITA: The result is always the same.
I look like, you know, my third time in drag.
But maybe I'll do good.
We'll see about it.
Aah!
SABRINA: Oh, wow!
Hello, young lady!
JIMBO: I'm applying for your song truce,
or whatever it's called.
SCARLETT: Wow, it's so nice in here!
SABRINA: And who do we have here?
SCARLETT: Hi, I'm Scarlett BoBo.
SABRINA: Your dress has a bit of a built-in wardrobe malfunction.
JIMBO: Oh, there's no malfunction in this wardrobe.
PRIYANKA: Hi!
SABRINA: Hi, tell us your name. PRIYANKA: My name is Priyanka.
SABRINA: I'm so glad you were able to come here and audition.
You really dressed up for it.
PRIYANKA: I feel Canadian.
SABRINA: You must be cold.
PRIYANKA: Freezing. RITA: My name is Rita Baga.
I'm a famous singer from Boucherville.
SABRINA: I love Boucherville, yeah.
Just, in the dead winter, I love Boucherville.
RITA: Mm-hm. SABRINA: Alright.
I'm gonna let you sing in a moment,
but when I raise my hand, it just means
that I have a note... JIMBO: Okay.
SABRINA: So please stop, hear my direction, incorporate it,
and take it away.
JIMBO: O Canada...
SCARLETT: Our home and native land...
PRIYANKA: True patriot love...
ALL FOUR: In all of us command...
RITA: Aa-aa-aa!
What?
SABRINA: It's obvious that you have gorgeous vocal range,
but for the purpose of this audition,
could you sing it as flat as possible?
RITA: Fine.
SABRINA: Thanks for being such a good sport.
RITA: O Canada,
terre de nos aieux...
SABRINA: I'd like a little more fear.
You're in a huge stadium.
You're scared. You're scared for your life.
SABRINA: That's the vibe, and I want you to start again.
JIMBO: O Canada, we see thee rise...
[laughter]
SCARLETT: O Canada,
our home and native land...
PRIYANKA: O!
Ca-na-daaaa!
You have a question?
SABRINA: What I'd really like to see from you
is an angry version.
RITA: Like right now,
I'm really mad because you can't stop interrupting me.
STACEY: Oh!
RITA: [deep voice] Car ton bras sait porter l'epée...
PRIYANKA: [harsh voice] O! Ca-na-da!
SABRINA: Yeah, girl!
SCARLETT: [deep voice] Glorious and free...
RITA: [deep voice] De fleurons Glorieux...
SABRINA: I'm just stopping you mostly because I feel like
you're putting a hex on us.
I'd like you to go back to the patriot love
and the sons command, knowing that
the patriot is your ex-husband,
and your son's not talking to you.
JIMBO: True patriot love,
in all my son's command.
[Southern accent] You're just like your goddamn daddy!
SABRINA: A version with some tongue pops.
SCARLETT: O Canada... [pops tongue]
Our home and native land... [pops tongue]
SABRINA: Give me a version where
it sounds like you're underwater.
RITA: [singing like she's underwater]

SABRINA: I'd love to see some vocal range.
JIMBO: Tru-u-e patriot lo-o-ove...
Sons command, oooh-ooh-ooh...
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, oh... [voice getting lower]
SABRINA: And a little bit lower.
JIMBO: [very low] Oh... oh...
SABRINA: The fastest version possible.

SABRINA: Straight into the slowest version.
Just cheese... on a poutine.

PRIYANKA: We love a ball!
RITA: We're having a ball!
SCARLETT: We made it to the ball, girls!
STACEY: For this semi-final maxi challenge,
you have to harness all your charisma, uniqueness,
nerve, and talent, and bring it to the Snow Ball.
SCARLETT: Yes!
STACEY: We want to see three different looks
hot enough to melt a deep freeze.
STACEY: #CanadasDragRace.

Oh, pit crew!

Damn.
STACEY: Oh, I love my job.

STACEY: For your final look, you'll be serving your best
Ice Queen Eleganza...
SCARLETT: Oh, hm...
SCARLETT: Please don't make this a sewing challenge.
Please, please, please, please, please.
STACEY: ...which you'll have to make from scratch.
SCARLETT: Argh!
STACEY: For this challenge, you could use your own
heels and wigs, fabric from the Fabricland wall,
plus jewels from LAG Concepts,
and any of these wintery items that the pit crew brought in.
Speaking of pit crew, you may go.
SCARLETT: Byeee!
STACEY: Gentlemen, start your engines,

SCARLETT: Yes, girl. Aah!
PRIYANKA: Ding, ding, ding!
PRIYANKA: Do you want icicles?
Take me some of those.
SCARLETT: The theme for this ball is the Snow Ball.
SCARLETT: Oh, this is cute.
PRIYANKA: First category is Holiday C-E-Ho!
SCARLETT: The second look is Apres the Apres Ski,
the Icy Walk of Shame. PRIYANKA: Ooh!
PRIYANKA: And the final category is Ice Queen Eleganza.
PRIYANKA: Y'all want a hat?
PRIYANKA: This category is very important
because it's the look that you're gonna be in
when the judges decide if you have what it takes
to make it to the finale.
And guess what? We have to make it from scratch.
I could cut this tension with a knife!
SCARLETT: Can I steal some of that?
JIMBO: No, sorry.
I love you, but I need $100,000.
SCARLETT: [evil laugh]
RITA: My sisters, they are fierce competition.
BoBo is really punk rock, gothy.
SCARLETT: Look at these.
RITA: Priyanka is glamour, you know, a pop star.
PRIYANKA: Look, I made a panty!
RITA: Jimbo, he's extravagant and fashion-forward.
My look is not subtle, it's not discreet, and very loud.
So we are four different people with four different styles,
so I have to bring my best to, you know,
put this crown on top of my head.
PRIYANKA: I'm working on my final look,
which is Beyonce-inspired.
My designing abilities,
I'm okay, but when it comes to sewing, sewing is really hard,
so I'm literally gonna glue anything
I can find to this corset, because...
I gotta hide the fact that I'm just wearing a corset.
PRIYANKA: I need more snowflakes.
Oh, I could use some of this for some texture.
Oh my god, and these too.
SCARLETT: Priyanka is like just gluing shit to a corset.
Ha.
That's not gonna get you into this finale, honey.
PRIYANKA: Tropical Christmas.
PRIYANKA: I'm just gonna embellish the * * out of it,
and sell it.
PRIYANKA: Merry Christmas.

So Jimbo... JIMBO: Yeah?
SCARLETT: It I wanted to just make this into a shawl,
could I potentially just like...
and cut a hole here?
JIMBO: You're not gonna have your shoulder.
You'll just have a big bag.
SCARLETT: Huh?
JIMBO: BoBo doesn't know much about costume design,
and I know that she gets stressed out,
and I don't want her to flip out.
SCARLETT: I don't know what the * * I'm doing.
Oh!
JIMBO: It's gonna be worse for me not to help, at this point.
JIMBO: The cape is made out of four pieces.
SCARLETT: But there's only one piece of fur.
JIMBO: Yeah, but you cut the one piece into four pieces.
SCARLETT: There is no four pieces.
JIMBO: This is four pieces.
It's your two centre back, and the front is cut here.
Four pieces.
SCARLETT: And if I only have one piece of fur?
JIMBO: No, if you have one piece of fur,
you cut your one piece of fur into four pieces.

I'm sure you're feeling the pressure even more now.
RITA: I'm still heading to the crown,

I go week by week.
STACEY: Has it surprised you being in the final four?
RITA: I'm very humble, but I'm not surprised
because I've been... STACEY: What?
RITA: ...very focused since the beginning.
It might be seen as, you know, being quiet,
but at the same time, it helps me to really focus on the goal
and to respect the challenges.
STACEY: Tell me about this ice queen eleganza you're making.
RITA: I'm going for a high fashion punk look,
but still queen-esque.
STACEY: Why the punk look?
RITA: It suits me well, I think, so I'm trying to respect
the objective and the goals of this challenge,
but make it my own.
STACEY: So, what would winning mean to you?
RITA: I'll be the very first French-speaking to win.
It's also the result of 13 years of hard work.
You know, I really do appreciate all the different things
you told me that I should work on, you know,
not standing like this, and try to focus,
and think about hotdogs when I walk,
so it makes me look happy.
STACEY: Think about the hotdogs. [laughs]
RITA: Yeah. I'm a hotdog lover.
STACEY: Anyways, that's another story, alright?
RITA: Thank you. STACEY: Get back to work.
RITA: Thank you, thank you, thank you.
STACEY: Hi, Priyanka. How are you feeling?
PRIYANKA: To be a part of a ball is an honour.
We all want to be a part of the ball.
STACEY: True, true. Are you surprised to be here?
PRIYANKA: It was a little rocky.
I had really high highs, really low lows.
Having low moments in this competition, it messes with you.
I came from a background of like improv, so imagine,
to my surprise, when I bombed both of the improv challenges
in this competition.
STACEY: That must have messed with your head big-time.
PRIYANKA: Luckily, this competition is a playground
to grow, because from that, I grew so much.
STACEY: Pat yourself on the back for that.
PRIYANKA: A-a-a-a-a... STACEY: And the front.
PRIYANKA: And the front! [both laugh]
STACEY: What would winning mean to you?
PRIYANKA: It would be everything, you know?
I worked two jobs for a long time.
I was like hosting kids TV during the day and that,
and then at night, I'd be turning up
at the clubs as Priyanka.
STACEY: What? [laughs] Whoa.
PRIYANKA: I left my kids TV job to do drag full-time,
so it would be life-changing.
It really, really would.
But also, representing, you know, our queer POCs.
I want to take all that money and put on great shows
for them too, you know? STACEY: Yeah.
PRIYANKA: So that's why making it for the final four
and that much closer to the finale is like...
Oh... Ooh, I can just feel it. I can taste it.
STACEY: Your hard work is paying off.
PRIYANKA: Yes, it is.
STACEY: Tell me about your ice queen eleganza outfit.
PRIYANKA: This is gonna be covered,
and then we're gonna have a giant skirt, and a jewel,
but I don't want to tell you everything
'cause I want you to be surprised.
STACEY: Yeah, yeah, don't tell me anything.
Alright, I'll leave you to it.
I look forward to seeing you on the runway.
STACEY: Hi, BoBo. How are you feeling?
STACEY: It's been a really weird experience.
I came with a solid plan and, you know,
walking through those doors, everything kind of like
switched around on me because, you know,
you don't know what to expect.
STACEY: Well, listen, you're here in the final four.
That fire that got lit under you, you really ran with it,
so whatever you're doing, you're doing it well, but you know,
it's still a competition, and there still has to be
one winner, so what are you gonna do different
this time around?
SCARLETT: I'm not gonna hold back anything.
There were times when I was like,
"Oh, maybe I shouldn't put that on,"
or "Maybe I should take that off,"
and I'm just going with my gut this time,
because at this point, there's no other option.
STACEY: I want to ask you something.
What kind of work have you done in the community?
SCARLETT: I try to use my platform as much as I can,
and I've always made sure to give not just drag queens,
non-binary performers, alternative queens, drag kings,
I've just been trying to give more back
because when I started, I didn't have that kind of chance.
STACEY: It's really good that you're helping your community
and helping others so early because
it will truly make a difference.
SCARLETT: I had a really shitty childhood growing up,
and you know, drag was the only thing that made me feel
like I took up space, and I was important.
There's no rules. There's no walls.
There's no limits. You can be who you are.
You can be as weird as you want, as glamourous as you want,
as freaky as you want.
And you can do that all in the same night,
if you really wanted to. [laughter]
SCARLETT: Drag is just beautiful.
STACEY: All the best, and see you on the stage.
SCARLETT: I love you. STACEY: Aw.
SCARLETT: I'll see you tomorrow! STACEY: Alrighty.
STACEY: Hi, Jimbo! JIMBO: Stacey, how are you?
STACEY: So how are you feeling?
JIMBO: Great, yeah. I'm really excited.
I have some really good looks that you are going to love.
STACEY: Really? Oh, nice.
JIMBO: I'm gonna make a gown that hugs my body,
and hugs your mind.
STACEY: Has it surprised you being in the top four?
JIMBO: No.
Did I hope to be in the top four?
Yes. And do I hope to win?
Definitely.
Yeah, I hope to win this entire competition.
STACEY: What are you goals with your drag?
JIMBO: I'm a clown at my root.
I don't really do a lot of rehearsing.
It's all about surprise.
Jimbo is who I am in the world, so really, for me,
it's mostly about characterization
and pushing the boundaries
through storytelling and costuming.
STACEY: I'm gonna leave you to continue.
JIMBO: You don't want to help?
STACEY: I'm a model. I wear the clothes.
I don't make it. [laughter]
STACEY: Ladies, gather 'round!

PRIYANKA: Michelle Visage, she sits on the panel beside RuPaul.
She knows what it takes to win this competition.
MICHELLE: Do you know what I'm gonna say?
DRAG QUEEN: I know. Sorry.
MICHELLE: It's either a leotard or a corset and a panty,
and I'm getting bored.
PRIYANKA: If she doesn't like something...

so I'm really feeling the pressure.
The stakes are high.
RITA: Are you stressing out?
PRIYANKA: If I lip synch tonight, it's my third time,
which means...
RITA: Yeah, you should do it. SCARLETT: Oh!
PRIYANKA: No.
I don't plan on being in the bottom.
I think you two, it's your moment.
Rita and I... RITA: It's your time to shine!
SCARLETT: No, no, no, no!
JIMBO: Shut up!
RITA: Less talking, more working.
PRIYANKA: Let's have a ball!
ALL: Let's have a ball!
♪
PRIYANKA: Woo!
RITA: Can you tell me if it's okay?
JIMBO: Yeah, you're done. RITA: Yes?
JIMBO: I'm being a shady ho. You're not done.
There you go.
You want me to do your ass too for you?
RITA: No. I have spider webs.
JIMBO: She's freaky.
♪
RITA: Do you have anyone like really rooting for you at home?
PRIYANKA: For me, my mom.
How about you? Who's rooting for you?
RITA: My dad is really my number one fan.
PRIYANKA: No way! RITA: Yeah.
When he talks to another person about me,
I can see that he's really proud.
RITA: My dad has always been there for me,
and he's my number one fan,
so every time I have a big show, he's there.
PRIYANKA: Does he tell you he loves you and stuff?
RITA: Yeah. PRIYANKA: Aw.
RITA: And a really deep hug. [laughs]
And he speaks so slowly.
PRIYANKA: That's amazing.
RITA: But that's funny because he's the CEO
of a construction company, so you don't expect him
to be this much open, you know,
so I'm very happy and proud to have him as my dad.
PRIYANKA: That's so cool.
BoBo, how about you?
SCARLETT: Um, I think my mom.
SCARLETT: My mom is my best friend.
SCARLETT: Yeah, she had to be like my mom and my dad,
and everything in between, when I was younger.
SCARLETT: Growing up, my stepdad was a raging alcoholic.
I would watch him, you know,
beat my mom on a daily basis.
That was really hard for me because I was the oldest,
and I wanted to, you know, protect her, and I couldn't.
♪
SCARLETT: Hm... Hm.
[sniffs] [sighs]
SCARLETT: She is like the strongest person I know.
SCARLETT: She put herself through hell and back,
just so we could have a good life,
and made me feel important and like I mattered.
SCARLETT: I just literally want to win this so I can
take care of her for the rest of my life.
PRIYANKA: Jimbo, how about you?
JIMBO: Who do I have rooting for me?
I have the people of Vancouver Island,
I hope, are all rooting for me.
Everyone in BC, and then Kitchener-Waterloo,
and all the people of London, probably fans across Canada,
so probably just a few thousand people or so.
[laughter]
RITA: I don't think you got the question right.
PRIYANKA: Yeah.
Can we get a rewrite on the question, please, for Jimbo?
JIMBO: Have any of you guys walked in a ball before?
RITA: I walked in a ball once.
Do you know what was the theme of the ball?
SCARLETT: What?
RITA: Winter Ball. SCARLETT: Shut up.
RITA: And I won best-dressed.
PRIYANKA: Hey!
PRIYANKA: The ballroom scene celebrates
all types of gender expressions, all types of bodies,
all types of skin colours.
JIMBO: Do you think you're gonna do it again, Rita?
RITA: Tonight? JIMBO: Yeah.
RITA: We'll see.
RITA: These balls were a place where queer people of colour
could reclaim signifiers of white privileges, in general,
and could feel safe.
PRIYANKA: Categories like Executive Realness
gave queer people of colour space to play
the part of what white people were doing
because they couldn't get those jobs back then.
RITA: These were job positions that were not allowed
for people of colour, in general.
RITA: All the terms that we are using in this show,
and just in our common language,
drag terms like shade.
PRIYANKA: Serve. JIMBO: Eleganza.
SCARLETT: Sickening!
RITA: It all comes from the ballroom culture.
SCARLETT: Ball culture is about community, diversity,
and togetherness, so it's just really beautiful.
SCARLETT: It's just fierce.
Like, everyone's just like so full of love.
PRIYANKA: I'm excited for this ball.
Jimbo, how about you?
JIMBO: I like my looks, but I'm nervous about my makeup.
It's not what I had in mind, and I don't like how I look,
and there's nothing I can do at this point.
I don't know what to do. I look hideous.
PRIYANKA: Oh, no.
You can run but you can't hide from Michelle Visage.
JIMBO: Okay, stay calm. Everything is fine.
PRIYANKA: It's literally the road to the finale,
so whatever we throw on ourselves,
you need to look like you have what it takes
to be the winner of this entire competition.

I'm your guest host, Michelle Visage,
and I am so excited to be here!
[applause]
MICHELLE: Angel Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman,
this jacket is gorgeous.
JEFFREY: Thank you, my love!
This is the front, and this is the back!
MICHELLE: Yes!
And supermodel Stacey McKenzie, how do you like the snow?
STACEY: Michelle, girl, just like how I like my men:
freshly powdered and machine groomed.
MICHELLE: Ooh, yes, we like a groomed man.
Miss Brooke Lynn Hytes, looking fantastic
on that side of the runway.
Are you ready for this snow?
BROOKE LYNN: Absolutely! I got 9 inches last night.
MICHELLE: [laughs]
This week, the queens were challenged to serve
three looks on the runway in the Snow Ball.
I've been waiting a long time to do this.
Gentlemen, start your engines,
and may the best woman win!
Category is: Executive Holiday Party Realness.
First up, Jimbo.
JIMBO: This CEO means business.
I am ready to party,
and ready to share my goods with all the employees.
Everyone's lining up for this pink slip.
MICHELLE: She should try a shoulder pad next time.
[laughter]
BROOKE LYNN: The '80s look like a really good time.
MICHELLE: They were. [laughter]
MICHELLE: Next is Rita Baga.
RITA: It's the end of the fiscal year realness.
BROOKE LYNN: She has perfect hunty-hunty vision.
RITA: She has bills to pay, so let's strut the runway
and get the * * out!
BROOKE LYNN: Aw! May she rest.
MICHELLE: When life gives you lemons, throw shade!
[laughter]
MICHELLE: And now, Priyanka.
PRIYANKA: She is Brenda from Ajax, Ontario,
and she runs the building.
This bitch still believes in Santa Claus.
JEFFREY: I'd like to deck her halls.
MICHELLE: She's already been decked, kiddo.
[laughter]
BROOKE LYNN: Deep breaths, keep it in.
MICHELLE: I can smell that outfit from here.
BROOKE LYNN: I don't know. It's a little ornamental for me.
MICHELLE: And finally, Scarlett BoBo.
JEFFREY: Walk in the club, gift first.
Bam!
SCARLETT: I am working the runway.
I've had way too many cocktails at this stupid party,
and I was about to give everybody their bonuses,
but instead, I decided to burn all the money.
I love being rich!
MICHELLE: Do you have some sort of business woman special?
MICHELLE: Next category, Apres the Apres Ski,
the Icy Walk of Shame.
Jimbo.
JEFFREY: Ooh, y'all a yeti!
MICHELLE: Ooh!
JIMBO: The fantasy is Apres the Apres Ski.
I have partied so hard, I've wet myself.
I've got toilet paper on my shoe, and a condom in my hair.
I have left five parties, and I'm headed to five more.
STACEY: Check out that ski booty.
MICHELLE: Punky Brewster, the slutty years.
BROOKE LYNN: Oh, that's where my pizza went.
MICHELLE: Rita Baga.
RITA: Tonight she's serving a mullet fantasy.
STACEY: The patchouli smell must be making her nauseous.
BROOKE LYNN: I don't need to see that!
MICHELLE: Give her another take!
RITA: She had too many beers.
She fell asleep on the couch, and she woke up like this.
BROOKE LYNN: Somebody get this lesbian a kombucha, stat!
And I... [gags]
MICHELLE: And now, Priyanka.
JEFFREY: Oh, quilted for her pleasure.
PRIYANKA: She's in shambles.
She's still drunk, but she's looking at
Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman being like,
"I have one more round in me. Are you in?"
BROOKE LYNN: I wonder how many dead babies are in her hair?
MICHELLE: Guys, is this Canadian fashion or...?
[laughter]
MICHELLE: Scarlett BoBo.
SCARLETT: I've got icicles hanging from my hair.
I am giving you snow bunny,
just got pounded and left out in the cold realness.
STACEY: It's Frosty, the Snow Ho.
MICHELLE: This is what happens when Elsa drinks
too much Patrone.
Just let it go, girl.
JEFFREY: Just let it go.
MICHELLE: Final category is Ice Queen Eleganza.
First up, Jimbo.
JIMBO: I'm feeling like Glenda, the good bitch,
in this regal royal realness.
STACEY: Oh look, it's the ice vampire.
JEFFREY: How the cinch stole Christmas.
JIMBO: My crown is totally cumbersome and made of crap,
and I feel like a real queen.
MICHELLE: Get her to a hospital. She's crowning.
Next is Rita Baga.
BROOKE LYNN: Oh, that's where I left my menorah.
RITA: This dress is not easy to walk with, but...
she's selling it, one little step at a time.
JEFFREY: The speed limits are slower in Quebec.
MICHELLE: Priyanka.
PRIYANKA: I am giving you
iceberg Titanic sinking fantasy.
JEFFREY: Ooh, she went for a polar bear dip.
PRIYANKA: Look at me, covered in bullshit,
and this beautiful paper skirt
that you can't even tell it's paper, it's so beautiful.
STACEY: Is she giving us a cold shoulder?
MICHELLE: Snowflake!
And finally, Scarlett BoBo.
SCARLETT: I'm giving you slut punk rock
Viking princess.
BROOKE LYNN: Wake up, pearls! Wake up.
SCARLETT: I have conquered this competition, bitch,
and I am ready to prove to everybody
that I'm winning material.
♪
MICHELLE: Hello, my Canadian queens.
SCARLETT: Hi. JIMBO: Hello, Michelle.
MICHELLE: Now it's time for the judges' critiques.
♪
JEFFREY: Michelle Visage,
what are your thoughts on Jimbo?
MICHELLE: That gold jacket was magical.
The fit was beautiful.
The shoulders were ridiculous.
It was beautifully drag.
A CEO of what company, I don't know.
Maybe a brothel. [laughter]
MICHELLE: But I had fun with it. JIMBO: Thank you.
STACEY: Your second outfit, I really loved the bodice.
I loved that you actually went different
with the shoes this time.
It wasn't a stiletto heel. It was a chunky heel.
MICHELLE: And you did it over the top,
which again is very draggy.
JIMBO: Thank you.
BROOKE LYNN: Ice queen eleganza,
it would have been nice if you could have walked in it.
It was awkward on the runway.
Also, your headpiece kept almost falling off,
so it seemed like you kept fiddling with things
the entire time you were on the runway,
and you couldn't really properly be there and model the garment.
JIMBO: Yeah, I apologize.
MICHELLE: I do have an issue with your makeup
being very white, as opposed to your body.
Is this a choice that you consciously make?
JIMBO: I just like the way it looks.
MICHELLE: Carry it down so it makes sense.
It's like when you tan, bring the tan down,
so just make it match.
JIMBO: Okay.
JEFFREY: Next up, Rita Baga.
RITA: Bonjour.
JEFFREY: Your first look, I love the character and the energy
that you brought to it,
but I 100% expected a reveal.
It was all just a little simple.
MICHELLE: Your Apres Ski Walk of Shame,
I thought it was hilarious.
It was performance art.
It belonged in a one-woman show.
I don't know about here on the main stage of Drag Race.
You know, we're bottom feeders.
It's just the way that we are. [laughter]
JEFFREY: As for this look tonight, it's so well done,
but the fact that you can't walk in it
really does take away from it.
I want to see you stomp this runway, and unfortunately,
in this garment, you were just unable to do so.
STACEY: I love the ice on the bodice.
One little tip I would give you, I would have loved if you
would have carried that ice look behind the bodice,
at the back as well, because when you were walking away,
you could see the sponge. RITA: Mm-hm.
BROOKE LYNN: I love the big shoulder.
I love your eye makeup.
I love the crown. I wish there was a waist.
You don't have an ass pad in, I take it.
RITA: Uh, I do have one. It's really small.
MICHELLE: A really easy way to take care of a self-structured
corset is to over-pad your hips
because if you give us more here,
it'll make that look smaller by default.
JEFFREY: Next up, Priyanka.
PRIYANKA: Hello!
STACEY: Okay, the CEO look, oh my gosh, jokes.
PRIYANKA: I love Christmas. [laughter]
STACEY: Yeah, you do love Christmas.
JEFFREY: I mean everything down to like the Christmas lights
around your neck, as the necklace,
I got exactly who that woman was,
and I wanted to party with her.
BROOKE LYNN: It was hysterical.
You were just bouncing all over the place,
making sure everyone was having a good time.
The second look, I loved the character switch.
You went from so over-the-top to "I'm still drunk
"and I'm going home," but make it fashion.
PRIYANKA: I've been both those people before.
JEFFREY: I must be seeing something different,
because it wasn't my favourite look, you know?
I get that you had a fun night last night.
You were still drunk, but I didn't quite know
who she was, if that makes sense.
MICHELLE: She was a whore, Jeffrey.
JEFFREY: She was a whore. Got it, got it, got it, okay.
BROOKE LYNN: A well-dressed whore.
JEFFREY: That makes so much more sense.
Thank you, Michelle. MICHELLE: You're welcome.
I've been a slut for many, many years.
I've done that walk of shame.
Loved the maple leaf on the belt and the tinsel in the hair.
You were fashion but funny,
and I loved that you were still in character.
That's so important to me. Especially as a drag queen,
you're selling a product, and the product is you.
Give them a show every time.
You know, that's what it's about.
BROOKE LYNN: The ice queen eleganza, um...
it's essentially a bodysuit covered in Christmas ornaments,
and you had trouble walking in that.
You kept stepping on it. PRIYANKA: Yes.
STACEY: I was hoping you would have come out
very couture-like. PRIYANKA: Okay.
STACEY: Like right now, put your hands on your waist.
Arch your back.
MICHELLE: No, doesn't make it better. [laughter]
MICHELLE: You know I have a pet peeve,
and my pet peeve is bodysuits with stuff stuck on it.
Every drag queen in the world, including myself,
has a spangly bodysuit because it's easy, you know it'll work,
it'll always be a showstopper, but this is Canada's Drag Race,
so we push a little bit further.
And when you came out, though,
you were really trying to sell it.
PRIYANKA: I was trying to sell fake DVDs on the corner.
MICHELLE: 100%.
But the hair, the makeup, carrying it down
to your shoulders, that's what you need, and you're doing it.
PRIYANKA: Thank you.
JEFFREY: And last, but not least, Scarlett BoBo.
STACEY: What I loved about all your looks, in general,
is that you brought that BoBo flair to it,
but we never lose you, so that was really good
and really refreshing.
SCARLETT: Thank you. STACEY: I loved your CEO outfit.
You're the only one that did a full-on suit,
and it was well made.
It fit you perfectly.
JEFFREY: I didn't necessarily get holiday from the CEO look,
but you looked spectacular.
Your makeup was beautiful.
I loved the hair. It was really well done.
BROOKE LYNN: You were just that bitch at the party.
You're like, "Drinks for everybody!"
SCARLETT: "No one gets their bonuses!"
BROOKE LYNN: Yeah. [laughter]
JEFFREY: You looked spectacular.
MICHELLE: Your Apres ski moment again was a bodysuit,
but your curves were ferocious in it.
The rubbery icicles were fun.
JEFFREY: Icicles, is that what we're calling it?
MICHELLE: Mm-hm, yeah. JEFFREY: The "icicles."
BROOKE LYNN: It was like a bukkake gang bang,
and then you just got left out in the snow. [laughter]
MICHELLE: That'll get edited out.
BROOKE LYNN: Yeah. Your third look, I love this.
You're like a rocker white walker.
MICHELLE: It's very different to everybody else,
where you kind of went the rock and roll route,
and everybody else went more for glamour.
And this is glamourous... SCARLETT: Yeah.
MICHELLE: ...but in a punk rock type of way.
I enjoyed it. SCARLETT: Thank you very much.
BROOKE LYNN: I'm really proud of you tonight.
It's been a slow trajectory for you, but you've kept climbing,
and you should be very proud of yourself.
SCARLETT: I am. I've never even looked
at a sewing machine, so I was like really proud
of myself tonight, so thank you.
JEFFREY: Before we begin our deliberation,
let's take a moment to look back.

SCARLETT: How is it to talk to little Mark?
You were such a cute little kid.
PRIYANKA: My mom gave us all like white boy names

Like, my brothers are Steve, Mike, and Chris.

Absolutely.

getting critiqued by Michelle Visage.
JIMBO: I was waiting for her to say,
"Excuse me, Miss, I think you're in the wrong competition.
"Canada's Most Beautiful Whore is being filmed
"in the other warehouse."
PRIYANKA: Meanwhile, Michelle Visage is like,
"What's wrong with your makeup?" [laughs]
PRIYANKA: Jimbo, like, I don't understand this makeup journey
because usually makeup gets better.
Why do you look worse
than the first day you walked in the workroom?
But I'm in a paper skirt, so who am I to talk?
JIMBO: I think this is hideous.
Top four, you show up in this paper-ass piece of shit
with some bullshit glued all up on the side,
and all around the back.
It's some piece of trash, piece of bullshit, * * * * * * * !
PRIYANKA: Hold this. Hold my shit, hold my shit.
JIMBO: Oh my god, I'm so sorry.

I don't know what came over me!
PRIYANKA: I never said I was a good design queen.
SCARLETT: Are you drunk? Did you eat today?
JIMBO: She's wasted.
She just drank two of those at once, and we haven't eaten.
PRIYANKA: Were they double?
[burps] Oh gosh, I just threw up.
JIMBO: Can you believe it?
This is our last moment together as top four.
RITA: It's amazing. How do you feel about it?
SCARLETT: It's just weird. Just like after this,
it's top three, and that's like the end.
PRIYANKA: Is there more vodka?
Can I get a refill?
PRIYANKA: Michelle Visage says I'm pretty.
JIMBO: Up here.
PRIYANKA: [laughs]
JEFFREY: Just between us snow angels, what do you think,
starting with Jimbo?
BROOKE LYNN: I was really disappointed in Jimbo this week,
especially because we've gotten such wonderful,
iconic runway looks from her this season, so far.
STACEY: The looks that she's come with before
were very haute couture, and these three looks
for me were just very bland,
and I feel like Jimbo has gotten comfortable,
and this is not a time for her to get comfortable,
being in the top four.
JEFFREY: Every look was just missing some element of polish,
and that's been a constant critique for Jimbo
throughout the course of the season.
STACEY: She messed up.
JEFFREY: Moving on to Rita Baga.
BROOKE LYNN: There was nothing about that first look
that I liked. MICHELLE: Mm.
I didn't even understand.
I felt like she worked at Costco or something,
and it just, it didn't open. It was very closed off.
BROOKE LYNN: It was so dowdy, and with the pink glasses
it was completely mismatched.
She should have gone camp, or she should have gone serious.
STACEY: Yes, she has her character down,
but then she's not bringing the looks.
It's just too much.
It's just too messy.
And at the end of the day, this is a drag competition.
She's doing drag so she has to come fully equipped and ready.
MICHELLE: When she came out apres ski,
I thought it was really funny and really smart.
Is it Drag Race? No.
JEFFREY: And yet, I would still by a ticket to go see that show.
MICHELLE: I would buy two.
BROOKE LYNN: And then the third look,
I don't know how many times I've said it to girls,
they need to cinch their waist in
or wear bigger hip pads
or something to just create that illusion.
MICHELLE: Now, as we get further in the world,
padding has become a topic of conversation,
but what it does do is takes us, as viewers,
further into the illusion.
Do you have to do it? No.
Does it help? On Drag Race, yeah.
JEFFREY: Priyanka.
BROOKE LYNN: Well, the first look so funny and enjoyable,
and I just love watching her, that smile.
MICHELLE: Beautiful.
BROOKE LYNN: She connects with you.
STACEY: Oh, yeah.
BROOKE LYNN: And she's not afraid to look at you.
MICHELLE: Her apres ski was my favourite.
She was drunk as a skunk.
She somehow made a parka into a dress,
and you'd only see that here on Canada's Drag Race.
I bought it hook, line, and sinker.
Ice Queen Eleganza, the fact that she put paper on a bodysuit
and tried to pull it off for an eleganza
is a little bit concerning to me.
BROOKE LYNN: The ball is one of the biggest challenges
in Drag Race, and then she comes out in that?
MICHELLE: I really can't forgive that outfit.
JEFFREY: Scarlett BoBo.
BROOKE LYNN: I thought her looks tonight were wonderful.
I loved the power suit.
She was a bitchy boss, and I bought it 100%.
MICHELLE: Her apres ski was so fun,
and so comedic the way she delivered it.
STACEY: What I really love about Scarlett BoBo
is that she stays true to herself.
She owns who she is. She loves who she is.
And she is not afraid to be who she is.
JEFFREY: I think she's peaking at just the right time.
MICHELLE: It's a great time to peak.
For her ice queen eleganza, everybody else,
when they hear "eleganza," they think,
"Oh, gown. I need to be regal."
And she came out the way she came out.
BROOKE LYNN: Yeah, she took a completely different direction
than everyone else did, and did more of a punk rock
ice princess, which is so Scarlett BoBo.
STACEY: She killed it tonight on the runway.
BROOKE LYNN: Yup.
JEFFREY: Alright, I think we've made a decision.
Bring back our snowflakes.
BROOKE LYNN: [loon call]
MICHELLE: Definitely the sound of a loon.
[laughter]
MICHELLE: Welcome back, ladies.

courtesy of our friends at Air Canada Vacations.
SCARLETT: Oh my god!
SCARLETT: Not only did I win the Snow Ball,
I won a spot in the top three!
This is a huge deal!
PRIYANKA: Congratulations! SCARLETT: Thank you.
SCARLETT: Because the only lip synch this bitch is gonna do
is a lip synch for the crown.
JEFFREY: You may leave the stage.
We will see you in the finale.
JEFFREY: Priyanka, tonight you wanted to be
the silver belle of the ball,
but did you use enough paper to wrap your presents?
Jimbo, you hit us like a blizzard on the runway,
but did going so over the top
leave you snowed under?
Rita Baga, tonight you served chill vibes
with your cold front,
but did you do enough to warm our hearts?
Priyanka...
You're safe. PRIYANKA: [gasps]
I made it to the finale?
JEFFREY: You did, girl.
You may leave the stage.
PRIYANKA: I'll never wear paper again, I promise.
[whispered] Oh my god!
SCARLETT: [whispered] We * * * * did it.
We * * * * did it, bitch.
We * * * * did it.
JEFFREY: That means, Rita Baga and Jimbo,
I'm sorry, my dears, but you are both up for elimination tonight.

JEFFREY: Two queens stand before us.
Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare
a lip synch performance of Tegan and Sara's "Closer."
Ladies, this is your last chance to impress us
and save yourself from elimination.

for you to lip synch for your life!

JIMBO: Rita's great. She's awesome, but I don't care.
I will stomp on a bitch.
RITA: Jimbo, you are my sister, and I love you,
but this is not your show anymore.
I'm going to be in the top three.
Buh-bye.
