- Previously on "Canada's Drag Race"...
- We're about to play... - Oh, my god
- The Snatch Game! [all cheering]
- Thoughts and prayer-er-er-ers.
- [laughs]
- Okay, I have the marker.
- Sorry. Um...tits.
- I feel so petty.
- Gisèle Lullaby, condragulations.
You are the winner of this week's maxi challenge.
- Kimmy Couture, shantay, you stay.
Lady Boom Boom, sashay away.
- [smooches]
[upbeat music]
[laughter]
- So Boom Boom have left, and I'm a little bit destroyed inside.
But I love her so much. I wish her the best.
And for me, she was one of the best drag queens in the world.
So, my little sister, I'm gonna miss her, but I know she'll be all right.
- "Book me." [laughs]
- A cucumber, always.
- So fresh.
- I think that's a penis. Is it?
- It's a cucumber, girl.
all: Bye, Boom Boom!
- Give it up for Boom Boom. Whoo! - Boom Boom!
- All right, girls. Let's have a seat.
- Yep. [sighs]
[balloon hissing]
- Give it up for Kimmy, bitch. I'm so proud of you.
- Thank you. - You killed the lip sync.
- Did I really? - You did.
- Kimmy, girl. - Both of you did.
That was a show. - That was really a good show.
- It was like a puzzle watching the bones come off.
- Those bones onstage, bitch.
You were just like... [imitates bones clacking]
- Girl, this competition is fucking tough,
and I'm a tough bitch.
I grew up in a Third World country.
I survived, so this thing is...
Harder. Ah!
Trust and believe, I am coming back,
and I'm not gonna land in the bottom again.
- We all survived Snatch Game. We're still here.
[all speaking at once]
What a ride?
- I feel on top of the moon that I'm still here,
honest to God. - Top of the moon?
Top of the world. - You look like you're on top of the moon.
[laughter]
- I wanted to win so frickin' bad.
I feel like I was so close, I could taste it.
It could have just been the salt from your costume.
- You were close, though.
- You know, there's no place to go but up.
Right? - Uh-oh.
- Right?
I am so bummed that I didn't win.
I just felt, like, so up here,
and I'm in the top.
I should be happy with that.
I'm so happy for Gisèle,
but I just wanted it so bad.
- Congratulations, you fucking bitch.
[all speaking at once]
- Give it up for Queen Gisèle. - Oh, my God.
- Snatch Game, are you kidding me? - I know.
- I know, as the first French Canadian to win the Snatch Game,
this is something.
But I want to win the full competition,
not just the most important challenge.
[balloon hissing] - Bombae, you're deflating.
- I know. - It's time to get out of drag maybe?
- Let's go! [all speaking at once]
- Ugh. - Get this corset off of me!
- I have fought my way through Snatch Game.
I am here to fight.
I'm not falling like Humpty-Dumpty.
I am the Mother Goose of the season.
Who's Jack and who's Jill climbing up the hill
to get to the top?
Who's Rumpelstiltskin?
Who's the Princess and the Pea?
And that's on Mary Had a Little Lamb.
Period!
- Whoo! [gasps]
[car engine starts]
- [singing] Drag, drag, drag race
- The winner of "Canada's Drag Race"
receives a sickening supply of beauty products
from Shoppers Drug Mart
and the pleasure of $100.000, thanks to Trojan.
With Traci Melchor, Brad Goreski,
and Brooke Lynn Hytes,
with tonight's extra-special guest judge,
Mei Pang.
- [singing] May the best drag queen, best drag queen win
[tires screeching]
[engine revving, upbeat music]
- [imitates tires screeching]
- It's a new day in the workroom, and, girl, the competition
is getting really intense right now.
both: [singing] We got the jean
- We are down to seven girls left.
All the eyes are on you, girl.
It's like, "Mm-hmm, I can see you now
because there's not much of you left, so you got to deliver."
- I'm happy that I'm still here. - Yes, you are.
- We're happy that you're still here.
- Are you really? - Yeah.
- Okay. - What? What--
You think we're not happy that you're still here?
- I mean, I don't know. - Of course we are, Kimmy.
You kicked out the best runner in the competition.
- You kicked out the frontrunner in the competition.
- I did. I fully did.
Wait, everyone thought that Lady Boom Boom
was the frontrunner? Everyone?
- One of them. - Or one of them.
- Okay, okay, okay.
I feel the girls don't see me as a threat.
Like, is that a good thing for you, Jada, though,
or is it a bad thing?
Like, I'm competition, though, bitches.
I'm just getting started.
- What about you, Irma?
- Last week I did a great job at the Snatch Game,
and I'm proud of that.
I am gunning for my first win,
so I've really got to step into third gear.
Third? I don't know cars.
If you cared about cars, you'd be watching the other drag race.
- I think, like, I've missed the mark a few times in the competition.
Do you think I should do something different?
- Don't try to impress them with something they want.
- Mm-hmm. - I think that's the model here.
You just show who you are. Who's Bombae?
Show them Bombae.
- I'm not gonna help you 'cause you're gonna win.
- I've gotten some really good feedback from the judges,
so I'm ready to put that in and show them that I'm listening,
I'm here, and I'm going to win.
- Gisele, I want to say to you, like, you really surprised me--
[siren wailing, all screaming]
[all speaking at once]
- That's the best way to strut for yourself.
- Oh, Canada!
She done already done had herses.
Hey, Glamazons. - Hi, RuPaul.
- Canada's next drag superstar cannot afford to blend in,
so think pink,
be it blush or bashful.
And if you start feeling blue,
just brush it off.
- A wedding?
- Gender binaries? - Pink and blue?
- Pink-- - A baby reveal?
- Hello, queens! [all cheering]
[wolf whistle]
- Ooh.
- I hope you're all feeling fabulous
because today is Picture Day. all: Oh.
- Families come in all forms,
so for this week's mini challenge,
we're honoring those special bonds
with drag family portraits. - Yay!
- In groups, you'll have 25 minutes to create your family unit,
get into quick drag, and meet up with your department store photographer...
me.
[laughter]
Vivian Vanderpuss, Kimmy Couture, Miss Fiercalicious,
you will shoot a season's greetings holiday card.
- Deck the halls. - Ho, ho, ho.
- Bombae, Irma Gerd, you will be posing for a postcard
from your tropical destination vacation.
And, lastly, Gisèle Lullaby, Jada Shada Hudson,
you'll be taking a photograph celebrating your growing family.
[laughter] - A baby.
[gasps] - She's expecting.
- Be ready to pose like a pro,
and make sure your shot tells me everything I need to know
about your family.
Are you ready, my children?
- Yes! - Let's go!
- Go. [all shout]
- Do you want to all be blonde? - Yeah, yeah.
- I got a mullet here.
- This mini challenge is chaos.
It's like a family reunion gone wrong.
- Oh, I look like the creep.
- Everyone is running around the room,
planning their little storylines, putting looks together.
Some of them are looking a little busted, but...
- Sunburned? - Yeah, I think so.
- Okay.
- It is what it is.
- Mom, I'm pregnant for a white guy.
- Ooh!
[upbeat music]
- Welcome to my portrait studio.
- Hello, Traci! - Thank you, Traci.
- Don't you look festive?
- I'm Barbara Barbara Bovine, name so good you have to say it twice.
- Love that. - I'm Ashley Bovine with a Y.
- Hi, Ashley, how old are you?
- Old. - Okay.
- She's 37, but doesn't her skin look nice?
- Fresh and dewy.
- I'm Trashley with a T-R.
- What an original name. - Yes.
- Let's take some photos.
- Jazz, jazz. - Oh, yes.
- Fosse, Fosse, Fosse, Fosse! - Oh, I love a little jazz hands.
- Well, I used to be a child star.
Can you tell? - I can see that.
[record scratches]
Love it.
- My mom wants me to be a dancer, but I want to be a rapper.
- And this one's gonna be an actress.
- You know, it's called porn. Ha! - [laughs]
- Let's give you some levels. I'll squat.
- Oh, yes, okay. There you go.
Gorge.
- Come on, let Mommy shine still. Mommy's still a star, though, right?
And then we're gonna bring it down low. - Okay.
- Come on, bring it up high, kids. Come on.
- Last shot. - Ready.
- Fabulous!
- Stardom, kids, we're on our way.
- Wow. - Bye!
- Bye. Oh, look at that love in that family.
- Oh, hello. - Oh, my God. Hi.
- We're here. We made it. - How are you?
- It's getting pretty hot in here, eh?
- It is, Shelley.
- We need to send a picture to our ex-husbands.
- Husbands?
- We're showing them that we're still hot.
- Oh, are you the photographer? - Did the camera give it away?
- It's really getting burning up in here.
- Yeah, okay. - Ooh! Oh, yeah.
Reminds me of those college videos.
- Oh-- [laughs]
You're hydrated. You're moisturized. Let's get some shots.
- I don't get shots. I'm a Republican.
- Okay, your strap is a little bit low.
- I got it, I got it. - Ow! Ow! Ow!
- Your ex-husband is seeing this.
Give me sensuous. Give me angry.
- Who's paying for this?
- Oh, okay. [chuckles]
With moves like that, you're not gonna be single for long.
Last shot. Let's make this the money shot.
Oh, there you go.
Cha-ching!
And we're wrapped. - See you later.
- Honey, just go there. Just go there. Okay.
- Oh, wow.
- How far along are you? - Nine and a half.
- Oh. - And we met eight months ago.
- Wow, hang on. - Soon times.
- That's my wife, Cola. - Cola, baby.
- Okay, hi, Cola. - What, what?
- I'm Matei de Jarme.
That's our daughter, Megan and Guillemette.
- Twins, mi ami.
- Can we get a little smile, Cola?
- Yes, my love. - Sorry, you were smiling.
Okay. - Is that it?
- Actually, I liked that shot when you were looking at the baby.
- The white one or the Brown one? Which one?
- So precious.
- [groaning awkwardly] - Yes.
- [gasps] - It's moving.
- [panting] - Yes.
- Oh, oh. Raise your legs.
- Let me have your hand.
- Oh! - Take it out.
- Let me have your hand, please. Call a doctor.
- I see the head! - Take it out of me!
- Oh... - That baby have a leg.
[both screaming]
- I think we've got the shot.
Best of luck on your expanding family.
- Hold my hand, please.
- I just cleaned those floors.
Queens, you all make such beautiful families,
but one of you had this mama bear saying,
"That performance was just right."
Jada Shada Hudson, condragulations!
- [squeals] [all cheering]
You're the winner of this week's mini challenge.
You've won $2.500
from our friends at Dirt Squirrel Apparel.
- Daddy.
- Now that we know you can all serve face,
it's time to take things to the next level.
- Okay.
- In this week's maxi challenge,
it's your job to become merchandizing moguls,
as you design your own eyeshadow palettes.
- Yes. - Ooh.
- I like money.
- You'll first pick six colors that reflect your drag aesthetic.
Then you'll meet me on set to produce an eye-catching campaign.
This includes a photo shoot and a commercial
for your new line. - Yes.
- Your ads will debut tomorrow on the main stage.
And just so you know,
you'll be judged not only on the quality of your campaign,
but your skills as a makeup artist,
so I want to see you painted for the gods.
- I love makeup. And you know me, bitch.
I never look the same on the runway. My makeup is always different.
- Queens, are you ready to launch your brands?
- Yes! - Yes!
- Racers, start your engines, and may the best drag queen win.
[all cheer]
- Oh, wow.
- Oh, Miss Honey, a lot is going on.
- Ooh. - Ooh!
- Slippery fing-gees.
- We have to name our palettes.
So much to choose.
We have to shoot a 20-second commercial,
do a photo shoot.
We got to, we got to, we got to, we got to.
[laughter]
- All right.
What's your palette called?
- So I was thinking of, like, "Transcending"...
- Cool. - Or "Trans-snatch."
- I like Transcending.
I like it's like...
[whispers] Transcending.
- I'm choosing the trans flag color, which is white, blue, and pink.
We got to be proud, being trans.
Yeah, what about you?
- I'm doing "Bombae" because I'm desperate.
- [laughs] Oh, my God.
- In this competition, I haven't been able to stand out,
and so my makeup reflects that.
It's an eyeshadow palette that anyone who wants to stand out can use.
Plus a little bit of glitter 'cause you know you need it.
- Are you going comedic? - I'm going comedic.
- Okay, what would you say, like, your brand is?
- It's to stand out. It's gonna look like '90s supermodel--
like, I'm hot, I'm sexy, and I'm desperate.
- Well, '90s supermodel is not you, but...
- [laughs] - Jada.
- Girl. - What?
- You know, it's a branding challenge,
not like a "hee-hee ha-ha," like, comedy challenge.
- We've had enough of those.
- But if you make them laugh, they're already on your side.
- What is your brand? - The turn-up girl.
The clubs, the party.
The turn-up, the palette.
Turn up the palette, for the nightlife girl.
[giggles]
- Oh, work.
- Commercial, there done.
- I'm, like, really excited about this challenge,
'cause, like, I am a social media girl. - Yeah.
- And I've also been in a commercial before.
I'm just gonna apply my knowledge and... - Uh-huh.
- Give them a product they want to sell.
- Right. - So, obviously, I'm fierce.
So I'm calling my product Fierce by Fiercalicious.
- Yeah, for sure.
- My strategy for this commercial is to be myself.
That's the point of the challenge-- brand yourself.
And I'm gonna make this a palette that people want to buy.
And I want to have, like, some subtle shades
that you can use for daywear,
but then add a little drama, make it more fierce,
and add little pops of color.
- Obviously, I have a Caribbean background.
You know, you think about colors--
with that, it's always red, gold, and green.
Are you going to lean more into being, like...
the comedy girl? - The comedy?
Yeah, well, I think the challenge
is to be yourself. - Yes.
- I don't see myself as this comedy queen,
so I don't want my commercial to be too funny.
It's not a comedy challenge.
- "Comedy queens"--
I hope they understand that. - Yeah.
- I am so excited for this challenge. - Me too.
- It's so fun and different. - Yeah.
- We also only have 20 seconds of air time.
- So short.
- You know, it's one thing to be, like, I don't know, fashion about it.
But, like, at the end of the day, like, people have to be entertained.
- We're not really selling the makeup.
- Exactly.
- I am Victoria's premier cat mother,
and I love the dedication to cats that cat people have,
so I figured, if you made a palette called Cat Mom,
that would be enough to sell it to cat moms everywhere.
Cat moms, cat dads, cat they/thems,
nonbinary cat parents. [cat meows]
Six eclectic eyeshadows that say, "I'm not lonely. I'm a cat mom."
- [laughs]
You are.
- [singing] Marketing genius
- I think I'm gonna go stupid.
Yeah, I know, it's a surprise.
- So, instead of taking the intellectual route...
- Like Vivian.
I will go in the stupid way.
I'm gonna make my product stand out from the others
just because I'm me,
and I'm really rooting for my French Canadian roots.
Show international people how to swear in French Canadian.
It's called--
"Was that French?" [light laughter]
Simple. - I love that.
- Simple. - Simple.
- My funny part is, since they're all curses,
I just want to "beep."
I just wonder, how can I say that in 20 seconds?
- And if you do, that's going to be your entire ad.
- I think I can just say four and just say,
"And that all mean the same thing--beep."
Enjoy.
- And you, Irma?
- I wanted to go, like, classic Irma colors.
Like, this is the beat.
If I crushed up Irma Gerd with a mortar and pestle,
what colors would come out?
The bright purple, the bright yellow, the bright green.
I feel very good about my selection.
I'm either gonna go with "Snot Rocket" or "Gers-bermps"
- Gers-bermps?
That's incredible.
- Yeah. [laughter]
- When I look across the room, I see the other queens are doing something
that's very specific to their brand.
Can I run something by you...
- Mm-hmm. - Really quickly?
So my palette is called Bombae... - Mm-hmm.
- Because I'm desperate.
The whole thing is like, desperate to stand out.
- Mm, it's funny 'cause it's true.
- That's the thing. - [laughs]
- I'm here, and who do I have to kill to win a motherfucking challenge?
- I love that.
- No, I think you need a more unique twist
than "I want to win."
I've seen people do that before. It never really lands.
And she's in her head right now,
and she has to remember who Bombae is.
'Cause I want her to do good. Not better than me, but good.
I think you're funnier than that. - Cool.
- For me, Bombae has so much flavor before being desperate.
- Got it. - Remember who you are.
- Exactly. International.
- Ooh, I guess I'm changing everything.
- Why? - [sighs]
I'm changing my idea, and I don't have that much time to spare.
I don't know what I'm going to do.
[upbeat music]
- It's time for my... [singing] Close up
[engine revs]
- Hi. - Hi, Traci.
- Vivian Vanderpuss, how are you doing?
- Between scriptwriting, storyboarding,
painting our faces, and getting into the drags,
we almost have no time, but I feel so stunning.
- Love this whole vibe. - I feel like Soviet-era Barbie.
- Yes. What's the name of your palette?
- Cat Mom by Vanderpuss.
- I do love that.
- This looks like a cat, yeah?
- Yeah, for sure, for sure.
- So a nice tight shot of this.
- Uh-huh, and you don't want to cover the eyeshadows.
- Okay. - Vanna White, right?
- Vanna White, yes. - She kind of frames it.
- Of course, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I'll try not to shake like a leaf.
My mind and my words and my body are, like, jazz.
It's, like, just chaos.
I've got a jazz festival in my body.
- Take a breath. Shake it out. - [exhales deeply]
- This is your moment. It's all for you. - Love that.
[speaking gibberish, laughs]
Let's go to set two. To set two! - Okay.
Seven more minutes, okay.
- Okeydokey, let's power through it. - Okay.
- The judges have asked for a bigger, brighter Vivian,
and I am giving it to them...
- We got it. Go get your shot.
- Let's do this more often.
And I hope it was enough.
- Gisèle Lullaby.
- Hi, Traci, beautiful.
This is so much to do in such a short time,
but let's make it happen.
- Your 15 minutes start now.
- As a proud Quebecer, people ask me all the time,
"How do you do it, to be so pretty?"
- And one more. Let's get a big close-up.
- Perfect. - Camera one.
Keep going.
- Camera one, camera two,
camera one, camera two, camera one, camera two.
[clicks tongue]
And I'll walk the other way, okay? - Yes.
Cute. - And the other way.
- Okay.
Sexy.
- I'm directing. This is so much fun. - [laughs]
Do you have any voiceovers? - Yes.
A fabulous collection of color
inspired by all the famous nonsense swear words of Quebec.
[speaking French]
- Slow it down a little bit.
- [speaking French]
- Okay, because they're curse words, they're probably gonna get beeped.
Are you okay with that? - Yeah.
Mainly everything will be beeped.
- Do you think this represents your brand?
- Yes, because I'm French Canadian, and I swear a lot.
Merci, Traci. - [speaking French]
- Oh, my God, I got the memo.
- We got the blue memo. - Whoo!
What's your eyeshadow palette?
- It's called Butter Chicken by Bombae.
I just changed my idea.
It is my brand.
It talks about immigration, casual racism, but it's served with a side of humor.
Basically, it's me in a palette--
brown, delicious, and not good if you're lactose intolerant.
- Okay. You have 15 minutes, and time is ticking.
- [groans]
- So tell me what we're gonna do first.
- It's just me talking to the camera.
- Okay, and what kind of shot would you like?
- You can just slowly pan in, 'cause now I'm, like, making love to people.
- Okay, so then if you're on camera,
you don't want your-- - Yeah.
- And just take it off the set altogether, just so we don't catch any of it.
Three, two, action.
- I stand out from everyone, and now you can, too.
- One more time, and just make sure you don't cover your face when you point.
- This commercial is crazy. I'm running from one place to the other.
Move that there.
The colors are falling off my palette.
Uh-oh. - Uh-oh. Time's ticking.
- I know, I know, I know, I know. - Settle yourself.
- I thrive on chaos, so when the going gets tough,
Bombae gets shit done.
Can we just get a close-up of me just applying the shadow?
- Yes, yes, yes.
- Ten seconds to spare? Let's sha-blam.
- Ahh.
- Butter Chicken by Bombae. [clicks tongue]
- That's a wrap. - Thank you so much.
- Go get your photo. - Whoo!
- We'll fix it in post, right? - Yeah.
- Kimmy Couture. - Hello, Traci.
Bitch, I can be the actor, the director, the producer, everything,
I mean, hey, I get paid three ways.
So it's called Transcending,
because, you know, the journey of transition.
I feel like the trans community is very underrepresented.
I'm here to represent and make them proud.
I'm playing with my strength, and it just feels correct.
Girl, this couch is comfy, though. Let's go.
- In three, two, action.
- Have you been questioning yourself?
- Your line is, "Have you been questioning your gender?"
- Oh, that's true.
- Really get that question across. Like, ask the question.
- Okay. - Action.
- Have you been questioning your gender?
- Great. Let's move on.
- With six different shades,
feminine, masculine, in between--
[laughing] Sorry, that made me laugh.
You want me to go deeper more into "masculine"?
- I think it's deep enough.
- Okay. - But you can make that choice.
Okay? - Okay.
- Action.
- With six different shades, feminine...
[deep voice] Masculine... - We got it.
And then look to yourself and, you know, smile.
You're living your trans fantasy.
- I hope this pays off, because I put my whole heart in it.
- One minute left. Anything else you want to get?
- I'm good now.
- All your B roll? - Yes, I did.
- Okay. - Yes.
Cross my fingers.
- Irma Gerd. - Hi, Traci.
- What's the name of your palette? - Snot Rocket.
- Hence the hair.
- I'm excited, and I'm ready to blast off.
- Okay, so let's get shooting. Tell me what you're doing.
- I'm going to be walking just here, and take me to the moon.
- Okay, action. - Yeah.
- Take me to the moon.
- "And take me to the moon!"
- Take me to the moon! - Great, we got it.
- Introducing Snot Rocket.
- "Introducing!" - Introducing Snot Rocket!
- We got that. - Good.
It's going smoothly. I feel great.
- Can you lift your left leg?
Cross your legs maybe, 'cause... - You can see my...
- Snot rocket. - My snot rocket?
[both laughing]
I feel like she's laughing at what I'm putting out...
so it's going well for me.
- Since we have time, do you want some B roll?
Hold your palette up.
Nice. - Any other shots?
- Would you like some Snot Rocket, Traci?
- Oh, always.
Thanks, Irma. - Thank you, everybody.
- Miss Fiercalicious. - Hello, Traci.
I know exactly what I need to put into this commercial.
You have to captivate people's attention
and make them want to buy this product.
Fierce by Fiercalicious.
- Very on brand. - Yeah.
- What is your brand? - Being fierce.
[both laughing]
I'm gonna start with my voiceovers first just to get that out of the way.
Wondering how I always serve such fierce looks?
- Really deliver it. Like, people are wondering.
- Yes, they're wondering. - They're wondering.
- I'm gonna let them know. - Inquiring minds want to know.
- Traci is helping me deliver my lines with more confidence
and make them sound more fierce.
- Be fun, be flirty, be fierce.
- I felt that.
- I've got a secret-- - Oh, I'm gonna count you in.
- Oh, sorry, sorry. - That's okay, that's okay.
- [gasps] Uh-oh.
I accidentally opened my palette wrong, and all the eye shadows fell out.
I can't get them back in with my long nails.
Someone help me.
- Your time is ticking.
- Fierce. - Keep going.
- Oh, my nail. Oops.
My nail flies off, but the show must go on.
I need to finish this commercial.
- Great work, Fierce. - Thank you, Traci.
- Okay, go do your photo. - I'm off to my photo shoot.
- Jada Shada Hudson. - Hi, Traci.
- What's the name of your palette?
- My palette is called the Turn Up.
- Well, you only have 15 minutes, and your time starts now.
- The first one is me by the mirror getting ready for the party.
- So let's go to the mirror.
- They're not gonna see the papers, right, in the camera?
- Tuck them on the floor.
Action.
- Ooh, damn, I look good.
- Do your makeup for a couple seconds and then give the line.
- Damn, I look good. - Great, we got it.
This is the Olympics because I am running from one set to the other...
Girl, can this hold me up? Okay.
- To camera one. - Girl.
Delivering the lines...
Leaving your baby daddy at home with the twins?
- Okay, we got it. - [exhales deeply]
- What's next?
- Trying to not look like a sweaty mess
because I am hot in this outfit.
- Jada, you good? - Uh-huh.
She's a professional. - Yeah, you are.
- I'm hot, but I'm having a good time.
- Let's get dancing. - Yeah.
- [chuckles]
Twerking for the gods.
I hope my booty looks really good, though.
Unh, unh, twerk, twerk, twerk, twerk, twerk.
- All right, Jada, we got it.
- Ooh, girl.
- How you feel? - Good.
- I can't wait to see how Turn Up turns out.
- Hopefully Jada has created magic,
TV magic,
commercial magic,
a shoot...
for the gods.
- New day, new day. - New day!
- It's elimination day, and I'm hoping my ideas
for my eyeshadow palette really came through.
This is my chance to show the judges that I'm listening to what they're saying
and I'm applying it to the challenge.
- I didn't understand your concept yesterday,
but I just laughed 'cause I love you. [both laugh]
- Right back at you. - Good, good, good, good, good.
- I'm feeling good about my video campaign,
and I think that branding is very Irma Gerd.
[hair dryer whirring]
- Did y'all experiment with makeup prior to drag?
Like, when was the first time that you experimented with makeup?
- I was probably seven or eight, and my sisters put me in a dress...
- Mm-hmm. - Put makeup on my face.
They were trying to, like, make fun of me, but I looked so good.
- [laughs] I love that.
- I was like, "Wow! Like, this can be like a thing boys do as well?"
- Mm-hmm. - After that, every time my mother
would get ready for, like, church, she would, like--
You know, it's the whole process. You feel like you're pampering yourself.
- It's the fantasy. - Yeah.
And so now when I get into drag, I feel the same way.
And you don't have to leave your house to do it.
You can do it at home in front of a mirror.
You don't need anyone else to feel beautiful.
- Mine was a form of expression.
- How old were you? - I was, like, six when I came out.
- Six? - Yeah.
- You came out as gay first? - No, as trans right away.
all: Wow.
- I was like, "Mom, I feel like having a long hair,
wearing, like, a skirt."
I didn't even know what trans was,
but I knew deep down that I was a woman.
She handed me makeup.
She was like, "Keep it a secret for now."
So, like, every time I touched makeup on,
like, it was a way for me to live my woman fantasy.
- That's good. Good job. - Moms are the best.
Give it up for our moms.
- It's just great to have that one person at least
to support you and be your cheerleader.
I love my mom so much.
- For me, makeup was the first thing that I gravitated towards with drag,
because, like, that's, like, the transformation process.
That's the first thing people see when they look at you.
I've just, like, grown so much with my makeup journey.
- You're good. You're good.
- I learned everything from social media, like, watching tutorials and practicing.
And now I can help teach other people do to makeup.
- Cool.
- So my first makeup story, truthfully, was when I moved here.
I did a talent show
at a club as a male entertainer,
and the club owners were the ones that were like,
"Oh, well, you should do this next week for the talent show in drag."
I was like, "In drag? What are you talking about?"
"Yeah, like, you know, a wig, a dress."
I'm like, "Hell, no. Not me. Mm-mm."
- Your inner homophobia cames in. - Yeah. It was up to me, girl.
I didn't have thoughts to, like, be a drag queen.
I want to be the Lion King, girl. [chuckles]
A drag queen did my makeup for the first time,
and I was, like...
I was so scared first.
- And then hitting the stage, like, right away?
- Yeah, like, literally. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- That's so cool.
- Drag chose me.
God just placed this entity, which is Jada Shada Hudson, on me,
and that's why I'm so proud to be a drag queen today.
It was a gift.
- I think the first time I did drag makeup,
it was with, like, four eyeshadow colors.
End of list. - And nothing's changed.
[laughter]
[upbeat music]
[engine revs]
[RuPaul's "Cover Girl"]
- [singing] Cover girl, put the bass in your walk
Head to toe, let your whole body talk
And what?
[cheers and applause]
- Welcome to the main stage of "Canada's Drag Race."
It's noted social-media thot Brad Goreski.
- Hi, Brooke Lynn. - Hi, Bradley.
Tell me, are you buying what I'm selling?
- Ooh, yeah.
But only if it's free shipping and totally refundable.
[laughter] - Oh, no, honey.
This pussy is exchange only.
[laughter]
And she's not a businesswoman.
She's a business woman! Oh!
It's our very own Traci Melchor.
- Hey, Brookie. - Hey, Trace.
Real talk, what does an NFT stand for?
- Easy. Nonfungible tuck.
- Oh, thank God I just bleached mine.
- Same. - Mm!
And it's makeup artist Mei Pang.
- Hello, hello, Brooke Lynn. - Hey, Mei.
Tell me, what's the difference between a drag queen and a makeup artist?
- About six inches... - Oh.
- Of lashes. - Oh! Just six?
Who you hanging out with?
[laughter]
This week we challenged our queens to create a campaign
for their signature eyeshadow palette.
Racers, start your engines,
and may the best drag queen...
like, comment, subscribe, win!
- [singing] I know you want to work
- Category is paint.
First up, Vivian Vanderpuss.
- Why bring a canvas when you can wear a canvas?
This runway is a marriage
of my visual arts and who I am as a drag performer.
- Vincent van Ho.
- And when I wield my tools... [cheering]
A beautiful waterfall of colors cascade down my garment.
- This look is a little...sketchy.
- I am the canvas. I am the paint.
I am the process.
I'm plein air, and I just don't care.
- Irma Gerd! - Oh!
- I'm giving you paint-by-numbers realness.
Oh, my gosh, wait, I haven't finished my face yet.
- She is painted for the gods--
should I say, "the gerds."
- I feel the most beautiful that I've ever felt,
and I don't care if I got it at the craft store.
It's going on the refrigerator.
There's a spot on my back that I can't reach.
Brad, can you help me out?
- She's really counting on this look.
- Oh, that was good. - Thank you.
- Toronto, London, Bombae.
[all cheering]
- We're celebrating Holi, the Indian festival of color and spring.
There's paint on my hair, there's paint on my face,
but nothing on these eyes...
'cause that would be dangerous.
I'm walking down the runway in a fashion silhouette,
giving you color, rhinestones, glamour.
- Brooke Lynn, she's been splattered more times than you.
- I know. [laughter]
Jada Shada Hudson. - Wow.
- This amazing piece has molds of dark features
running black paint through all of them.
This is not a runway to me. This is a work of art.
- Black is beautiful, baby.
- My mom always said to me,
the darker the berry, the sweeter the juice.
Be powerful in your Blackness.
I feel so powerful right now.
I am embracing my Blackness.
No matter how dark you are, all Black is beautiful.
[music continues]
- Gisèle Lullaby.
Paint me like one of your French Canadians girls, Jack.
[laughter]
- I'm serving you Picasso realness.
Don't check your TV. This is right.
Oh, my God, she's so artistic.
I'm giving you a big nose on one side.
I'm giving you two arm on one side.
I have one flower that's coming out and saying, "Hi-lo!"
[laughter]
- Aw, Brooke Lynn, it's your old faces. - Which one?
- Well, there's season one... - Uh-huh.
- Season two, season three.
Yeah, they're all there. - I love a retrospective.
[laughter]
Miss Fiercalicious.
Oh! [cheers and applause]
- My look is a Rococo painting brought to life.
The gorgeous Victorian damsel
is swinging out of the gorgeous painting.
I'm having such a great time on my swing
that my shoe just flies off and lands in the bushes.
This is one of my most proudest looks.
I'm showing the judges that I can be creative
and bring a concept to life.
- I never took her for a swinger. It's always the quiet ones.
Kimmy Couture.
- She's painting the town red
and orange and blue.
[laughter]
- I am serving you painter-going madness.
I look like a ghost but a beautiful ghost,
a sweet ghost...
a charming ghost.
I have a palette in my head that is dripping all over her body
and her garment.
- Ooh, I think she's making Monet moves.
- I'm selling it, bitch.
Ha ha!
- Welcome, queens.
all: Hi.
- I just want to say, what an incredible runway.
Let's take a look at your commercials.
First up, Vivian Vanderpuss.
- New from Vanderpuss Cosmetics...
Cat Mom. [cat meows]
Six eclectic eye shadows that say,
"I'm not lonely. I'm a cat mom."
Pull focus with shades like,
Pss! Pss! Laser Pointer,
and Not on the Shag! [cat meows]
Your friends say it. Your clothes say it.
Let your eyes sat, "I'm a cat mom."
[cat meows]
[applause]
Work.
- Now let's look at your photo.
- [gasps]
I'm so beautiful!
- She's a gorgeous, gorgeous girl.
- Yes, she is. - Oh, my God.
- You had me at, "I'm not lonely. I'm a cat mom."
- Oh, thank you! - You had a vision.
Your storyboard was well thought out.
Meow. Well played.
- The whole idea behind this challenge
is for us to also get an idea of who you are
and see that in your branding.
And I know who this is right away.
- I absolutely adore your campaign photo.
I love the little detail of the nose highlight.
The one thing I would've done-- that classic cat eye.
I would have just made the eyeliner bigger...
- Okay. - Bolder,
just to bring some balance to the nose and eyes,
but beyond that, love it.
- It was so nice to see you coming more into your own.
It was campy. It was fun. It was so you.
- This also brought so much joy.
Just a beautiful interpretation.
The reveal was a total surprise, which is very hard to do.
- A palette with the bangs--mmm. Chef's kiss.
- I feel like I'm having more and more fun each week,
and I feel like it's just becoming more comfortable.
I feel amazing, so thank you.
- Next up, Irma Gerd.
Let's take a look at your commercial.
- Take me to the moon.
Introducing Snot Rocket!
Six stellar shades that'll take you to infinity...
and past infinity.
Other leading eyeshadows can cause irritation, fatigue,
or even unsaturated colors.
Your face is a work of art.
Be weird, wild, and wonderful,
and you'll be screaming Irma Gerd!
All aboard the Snot Rocket!
- Now let's take a look at your photo.
- Ooh. - Oh.
What's she thinking? - Not much.
[laughter]
- I just want to start off by saying this look is...
I've never seen anything like it.
The details are insane.
Everything, to the numbers in the wig,
you look unbelievable.
- This is the best you've ever looked on the stage.
So conceptual. More of this from Irma.
- For you commercial,
there were so many different ideas in 20 seconds.
I'm not quite sure what Snot Rocket is yet.
I don't know how it fits into the branding.
I need to know what I am buying.
- I really wish you spent more of your time
talking about the eyeshadow palette.
It didn't really all connect to say, "Am I gonna buy that palette?"
- Your picture-- I think you look beautiful.
I think the lashes are a little bit too big
'cause we kind of lose the actual eyeshadow of it.
- Personally, would love to see more colors
from your eye shadow palette, but I absolutely love your profile.
The contour is just right. - Thank you.
Stay tuned for Snot Rocket 2: Electric Boogaloo.
[laughter]
- Next up, Bombae.
- I'm tall. I'm skinny.
I'm trying.
And I'm Brown.
I stand out from everyone, and you can, too,
with the Butter Chicken by Bombae eyeshadow palette.
With shades like Taxi Driver... [car horn honks]
And Go Back to Your Country,
you'll be ready to immigrate and take someone's job in no time.
It's made with spices white people can't pronounce,
so you know it's good.
Butter Chicken by Bombae. It's spicy, POC spicy.
[clicks tongue]
- And let's take a look at your picture.
- She said "drama."
- It was so fun to watch you on the runway in this look.
Can you tell us a little bit about the inspiration behind it?
- I'm celebrating Holi, the Indian Festival of Color
that celebrates spring.
I haven't been able to celebrate it for four years,
so I thought might as well celebrate it on "Drag Race."
- It's whimsical. It's beautiful.
- Thank you. - Such a treat.
So thank you for sharing that with us.
- Happy Holi. - Happy Holi.
- I always love your enthusiasm, Bombae.
And that sometimes can lead to being overprepared
and not being in the moment.
When we were doing your commercial,
I think you had almost five pages of storyboard.
With that, I feel like you almost have set yourself up
to be frantic and frenetic.
- It just did not feel like a cohesive commercial.
- I adore the colors you use,
but instead of putting the lash glue on the band itself,
I put it on top of the band, stick it on like this.
You get that lifted look,
'cause we want to see your beautiful eyes.
- I keep saying go smaller. Go smaller.
And you did the exact opposite of that. You went bigger.
I think you need a softer glam.
When you figure that out, it is over for these hos.
- [laughs] - Over.
'Cause your ass belongs on a runway, period.
Yes. - Thank you.
- Next up, Jada Shada Hudson.
But your glasses on. [laughter]
You need to see yourself, girl.
- Ooh, damn, I look good.
Don't mind leaving your baby daddy at home with the twins, Candy and Cane?
Well, it's time to work and twerk.
Let's turn up with the new Turn Up palette by Jada Shada Hudson.
Six sexy, sassy, seductive shades for the nightlife girl
on the dance floor.
[applause] - Let's take a look at your picture.
- [gasps] - Gorgeous.
- So beautiful.
- Like, they should just hang this in the front of some department store
because people will be lining up to meet this girl and to buy this product.
You look gorgeous.
- When you came out on the runway tonight, I was just choked up,
'cause I understood.
- I automatically knew that I wanted to do a look
to showcase my culture and my Blackness.
One thing I know is that the darker your skin color,
the harder it is.
Why is it that I can go to a mall with, like, Fierce
and no one follows her in a store?
But because I'm really dark, you know, the security's following me.
I just want to tell myself and tell other people that, you know what?
Black is beautiful.
- There's so much strength in you.
Talking about colorism is something
that we only used to speak about--
Black people to each other.
But you sharing that with all of us
just brings another beautiful dynamic to Jada Shada Hudson.
Your dress tonight is just unspeakably beautiful.
I love the Bantu knots and the braids.
For you to represent Black women so beautifully,
and Black people so beautifully, I thank you.
And I thank you for my daughter. And I thank you for my son.
And I thank you for the community.
This commercial was on brand.
This eyeshadow palette--
the colors that you picked are beautiful and on brand with you.
And this is aspirational.
Like, I want to be her.
- [voice breaking] Hearing all this tonight feels really good.
- You should feel good.
- You see what happens when you just be yourself?
Great job this week.
Up next, Gisèle Lullaby.
- As a proud Quebecer, people ask me all the time,
"How do you do it to be so pretty?"
Easy. This is my new palette, Was That French?
A fabulous collection of color
inspired by all the famous nonsense swear words of Quebec, like...
[speaking French]
And all those words mean [bleep].
And that make your friends say...
[speaking French]
But Was That French?
- And now let's take a look at your picture.
- Ooh. - Whoo!
- Damn, daddy.
- Like, it's breathtaking beauty. - Oh, my God, thank you so much.
- Your commercial, it was all dessert and no main course.
- I know. - We skipped right to the funny stuff.
And we didn't learn really anything about your palette
or anything really about you
besides the fact that you're French Canadian.
- The content of the commercial,
when you show the palette, I got it.
And then I got confused in the second half of it
'cause I was like, "Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh, it's swear words."
- There was a disconnect with it being an actual commercial for this palette.
- When you write for 20 seconds,
this is not long,
so I had to scrap a lot of things,
and I think I maybe scrapped the main stuff.
I keep the joke and not the content, so...
- But this...
this is on point, on target.
- Your outfit right now is just giving me the fever dream
that I do not want to wake up from.
This is happiness.
- Next up, Miss Fiercalicious.
- I've got a secret.
Wondering how I always serve such fierce looks?
Well, that's my answer.
Introducing my brand-new eyeshadow palette,
Fierce by Fiercalicious.
Three delicious shades, perfect for a subtle look.
Or add a little drama with the three fierce shades.
A versatile palette visible on your eyes, cheeks, or lips.
Be fun, be flirty, be fierce
because who doesn't love a little drama?
- And now let's take a look at your picture.
- Yes. - Fierce.
- What I really love about this is that I can see your eyeshadow.
You're selling it to me in that photo, and you obviously look stunning.
- I'm about to throw away all my makeup,
because looking at this,
there's genuinely not a single flaw-- perfection.
- And you were so smart not to stray too far away from your name,
because had you not gone with the Fierce palette,
we all would've said, like, "Why didn't you do the Fierce palette?"
You've got a very good business sensibility.
- You came into the set
with a vision, with a focus.
You're the only one that had two different rows of shadow.
You know, the subtle and the amped up for night.
Who doesn't like a two for one?
- It seemed like a professional commercial.
You got right to it. You told us about the palette.
You did it in a fun, flirty way. - Thank you.
- This will go down in "Drag Race" history
as one of the great looks.
- I love the details in the hair, the whisps,
like you're swinging and your hair's just flying.
But my favorite thing as a dancer, that foot.
- It's pointed, baby. - Oh!
[laughter] Oh!
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
Well done. - Thank you.
- Last but certainly not least,
Kimberly Couture.
- Have you been questioning your gender?
Hello, my name is Miss Kimmy Couture,
singer, dancer, actress, scientist,
and I came up with Transcending palette.
With six different shades-- Feminine...
[deep voice] Masculine...
[normal voice] In Between,
white, brown, and black.
You can transition instantly
and live your trans fantasy.
[applause]
- Now let's take a look at your picture.
- Oh! - Beautiful.
- I loved your commercial.
I knew exactly who she was.
You stuck to the palette. You had funnies in there.
You look stunning.
You got your message straight across.
- The inspiration for the palette is very near and dear to your heart,
and I felt that.
But at the same time, you managed to produce a commercial
that will have mass appeal.
- Your campaign photo is super amazing.
I love how you incorporated a bunch of the colors
on the eyes just to show it all off.
Gorgeous. - Thank you so much.
- This runway look...
- [chuckles] It's gonna run me, girl.
- If you look, comparatively speaking,
what you're standing next to, it just doesn't quite add up.
This was the wrong week to not have a good runway.
- Yeah, I know.
- Thank you, queens.
While you untuck in the workroom, the judges will deliberate.
You may leave the stage. - Thank you.
[engine revs]
- Just swinging in.
- I honestly don't even know who's in the bottom this week.
Everyone did either great in their commercial
but not great on the runway, or vice versa,
so it's kind of, like, anyone's game at this point.
- Well, girls, how we feeling?
That critique was all, like, a roller coaster.
- This is your best look ever. - Thank you so much.
- For real, this is groundbreaking and so smart.
- I still think Snot Rocket's gonna sell off the shelves,
but I need to come up with a better campaign for it to do so.
- Looking around at everyone's outfit, I literally was doubting mine.
In that commercial, I felt like I was a sweaty mess.
Like, I'm a big girl.
I'm never told I'm the pretty girl,
and everything is always like the Turn Up queen,
the dancer, this and that.
- You're not a beauty queen-- like, that narrative,
can we just get rid of that forever now?
- Girl, you're beautiful. - Because I am in love
with your B tonight, and your outfit is so amazing.
- Oh, thank you. - Can I say something?
- Speaking of the video, they hated mine.
I'm just gonna flat-out say, like, my makeup sucked.
I'm a little scared that when people watch this
they're gonna look at me and be like, "Oh, what a shitty drag queen."
- Girl, no. - What?
- Look at this look, bitch.
How are people gonna say you're not amazing?
- Girl, you're talented.
- For the first time in the competition, I'm doubting myself.
I rely on my drag to lift me up,
but for some reason, it's not happening.
It's not working anymore.
I feel scared.
Who do we think is in the bottom except this one?
- So you got negative critiques in the runway.
You got negative critiques in the challenge.
You got negative in the challenge. I got negative in the challenge.
I feel like Kimmy might, based on the runway.
- You think Kimmy's lip synching?
- Did we watch the same commercial? The judges loved her commercial.
- Are you for real?
Nope.
And I thought Miss Fiercalicious won the delusional title,
but Irma over here,
you in danger, girl.
You know, if you're gonna land in the bottom with me, bitch,
you'd be packing your things right now
because your flight to St. John is in 30 fucking minutes.
- The makeup, girl.
- I know. Miss Thang.
- Jada! - She looked brown.
I was like, ooh!
Girl, ooky-dooky-spooky.
What's going on?
[laughs]
- But, like, for real, it is ugly.
But, like, for my video, I felt really confident about it.
- I don't think Kimmy's in the bottom.
I think it's Bomb, Gisèle, or Irma.
- I'm just feeling a little bit disappointed,
but if I have to lip sync,
I will give you the show of your life because that's my job.
This is what I love to do.
I will give you a fucking show.
I'm glad I'm pretty. - And your look is delicious.
- Yes, this look. - I'm obsessed.
- Thank you.
I think Jada's gonna have another win.
- I think it's Vivian and Jada. Yeah, they're taking--
- I want it for you, but I really want it for me.
- Yeah. - You know?
- I love that for you. - Thank you.
- I think a lot of the girls are really doubting me
in this competition.
We're going around and asking who everything thinks
is gonna win this challenge,
and nobody's saying my name.
Brad did tell me I had one of the best runways
in "Drag Race" history, so I'm glad the judges loved it.
- I feel like you really went out on a limb on this.
- Hey! - [laughs]
- A lot of you girls might think that I'm fake,
but the only thing fake about me...
is this! - Aah!
- All right, just between us angel investors,
what do we think?
Our Cat Mom, Vivian Vanderpuss.
- She created a fabulous palette.
I feel it has mass-market appeal.
- She showed us her campiness. She showed us who she was.
But she was also able to sell her product.
- She looked so beautiful on the runway tonight.
- Mm-hmm. - And to pull off a reveal like that,
she's an exciting queen to watch.
It was cat-ivating. - Oh. [giggles]
- Up next, our Snot Rocket, Irma Gerd.
I liked kind of where she was going with it,
but it just never quite got there.
- The rocket never landed?
- That's happened to me a few times.
- There is a pill for that. [laughter]
- She has a lot of really good ideas,
and we could see that she can execute them well,
as we saw with her runway look,
which was outstanding. - Oh! So good!
- But in the commercial, there were just
so many things happening, I was like, "Are you gonna sell the palette?"
- There's a market for that alternative, edgier brand.
- Totally.
- The only thing edgy about her commercial,
her brand, was the name Snot Rocket.
- Correct.
- The eyelashes were too distracting to me.
- The runway look, though, outstanding.
- Incredible.
We have our Butter Chicken bae, Bombae.
- On the runway, she really comes alive,
but it doesn't translate all the way through
in the challenges, as we've seen with Snatch Game
and then also with this challenge.
- It seemed like a lot of jokes, jokes, jokes, jokes, jokes,
and then, oh, yeah, by the way, this is a palette
and there's a butter chicken shape.
- And then we get to the final photo, and it felt a little messy to me.
- It needs to be spotless.
It needs to be symmetrical, even.
You need to complement your features.
- If Bombae just kind of listened to the critiques
and just kind of gave herself room to play...
- There's gonna be no stopping her.
- Jada Shada Hudson.
I thought her commercial was wonderful.
It was so spot-on.
- The colors make sense to the whole "turn up."
It's bright, it's bold,
and it's unequivocally Jada.
- My heart has been full
watching the evolution of Jada Shada Hudson,
seeing the evolution of her makeup, seeing the evolution of her drag,
seeing the evolution of her runway.
I mean, she believes it now.
And her runway tonight was very moving.
I think she took the category of paint,
and she really interpreted it in a beautiful way.
- Jada is so authentic.
- That's her superpower. - It is her superpower.
- Was That French by Gisèle Lullaby.
I have no idea. [laughter]
- She knew, once she saw the commercial,
exactly where she had gone wrong.
The funny could have taken the backburner,
and, like, the smart business sensibility should have come more forward.
- With a sprinkle of funny in there.
- She didn't hit the marks, but her runway tonight...
- Oh! - I loved that campaign photo.
That photo was so timeless.
It can go from decade to decade and still sell palettes.
- Absolutely. - Yeah.
- And that photo was my favorite photo out of all of them.
- Oh.
- And to go from that photo to that runway look,
just showing her range and versatility. - Yeah.
- Up next, Fierce by Miss Fiercalicious.
Talk about a queen who understood the assignment this week.
- No kidding.
- She came in, and she had her storyboard set up.
She was very confident. She was very focused.
- There are people out there
that want to start doing makeup but don't know how to,
and so when you see that two for one, it speaks to everybody.
- And her runway tonight...
- And her runway--ugh! - And her runway tonight...
- Oh! Literally remember seeing that painting
when I was, like, ten years old and being like,
"Oh, I'm a homosexual." [laughter]
Last but certainly not least,
Transcending by Kimberly Couture.
- We talk about authenticity,
and you use that to create art
or to create commercials, you see what happens.
- She's so entertaining.
She's so, so fun to watch.
And she looked beautiful.
- For her runway,
I felt that, unfortunately, because of that palette,
I couldn't see her makeup.
- And what I could see, I don't think I loved.
- Not the cutest.
- Okay, have we made our decision?
Bring back our super moguls of the world.
[dramatic music]
Welcome back, queens.
We've made some decisions.
Kimmy Couture...
You are safe. - Thank you so much.
- You may move to the back of the stage.
- Thank you.
- Miss Fiercalicious.
Your runway was a walk in the park,
and your commercial had us running to the stores.
Jada Shada Hudson, this week you turned it up,
and we were so down with your commercial.
Vivian Vanderpuss, in your campaign, you gave us Cat Mom.
And, kitty girl, this week you really stepped up your Vanderpussy.
[laughter]
Miss Fiercalicious...
condragulations!
You are the winner of this week's maxi challenge.
- Oh, my God, thank you.
I'm a winner!
Oh, my God, I cannot believe it!
I've never won anything in my life. [laughs]
- You have won $5.000,
thanks to our friends at Neutrogena.
- I'm rich! [laughter]
- Neutrogena will also be making a $5.000 donation
to the 519,
a Toronto-based collective working to promote inclusion,
understanding, and respect
of the LGBTQ2S community. - Yes.
- Condragulations.
You may move to the back of the stage. - Thank you. Ah!
Winner's circle.
- Jada Shada Hudson, Vivian Vanderpuss,
great job this week.
You are both safe. - Thank you.
- You may move to the back of the stage.
- Thank you, thank you.
[music continues]
- Bombae, your runway was delicious,
but your palette was missing some ingredients.
Gisèle Lullaby,
your runway was FTW,
but your commercial was WTF.
Irma Gerd,
on the runway, you had strength in numbers,
but your commercial didn't add up.
[music continues]
Gisèle Lullaby...
You are safe.
You may move to the back of the stage.
- Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
I love you. - Love you.
[music continues]
- Bombae, Irma Gerd,
this means that you are sadly both up for elimination.
Two queens stand before us.
[music continues]
Prior to tonight,
you were asked to prepare a lip-sync performance
of "Table Dancer" by Keshia Chanté.
This is your last chance to impress us
and save yourself from elimination.
[music continues]
The time has come... [thunder booms]
For you to lip sync
for your life!
[music continues]
Good luck,
and don't fuck...it...up.
- [singing] Thank you, DJ
For playing my song
Put that [...] on replay
All night long
Hey, bartender
Better move those bottles
Better clear those tables 'cause they about to be filled with eyes
DJ, DJ
Put that [...] on replay, replay
'Cause I'll be table dancing
This is your chance, yeah
To be with me
And you will see
I'm on the table dancing
That's where romance is
If you're with me
Say oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh.
DJ, DJ
Come on closer
Into my world
Show you all the reasons why I'm your favorite girl
With a beat beside me
Don't let me fall
Just hold me close and don't let go until last call
DJ, DJ
Put that [...] on replay, replay [laughter]
'Cause I'll be table dancing
Dancing, it's your chance, yeah
To be with me
And you will see
I'm on the table dancing
Dancing
If you're with me
Say oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh
DJ, DJ
[cheers and applause]
[music continues]
[cheers and applause] - Oh, no!
[dramatic music]
- Queens, we've made our decision.
[music continues]
Irma Gerd...
shantay, you stay.
- Thank you. Thank you so much.
I love you.
[music continues]
- Bombae, you may be new to the spotlight,
but you will forever shine on.
This is just the beginning for you.
Now sashay away.
- Thank you so much for this opportunity,
and thank you for all the feedback.
I will take it and grow.
So thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
- We love you, Bombae. - Love you, Bombae!
- Bom-bye! [laughter]
- I feel sad that I left the competition so soon,
but I also got to show the world who I am.
I want immigrants and people who are thinking of immigrating to this country
to know that your dreams can come true.
You just need to dream it and work hard.
If I could make it here, so can you.
I'm taking this with me.
- Condragulations, queens.
You live to slay another day.
Now, remember, stay true north strong, and what?
all: Fierce! - Yes!
Now let the music play!
- [singing] You wear it well
French tip, lipstick, painted on
You wear it well
Value sure suits you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Work it for me, work it for me, me
You wear it, you wear it
You wear it well
Next time on "Canada's Drag Race"...
- You'll star in "Squirrel's Trip: The Rusical."
[all cheering]
- Are we gonna have to sing?
Yay.
- I was kind of pushing her to take that role
'cause I know she's not, like, a dancer.
- Lover, we're still in the first two lines of the song.
- Yes, we are.
- Sorry, Vivian, you can't sabotage me this week.
- This is giving me so much life.
- I'm terrified right now.
- This is head-to-toe drag.
- I wasn't even looking at the dancers. - They didn't have pants on.
- I was looking at the asses. - Oh, you were looking at the asses?
