I want to be her.

She was so true.
I'm so happy to have crossed her here.

Honestly, I love Vivian though.

This is unreal!
Top four. Top four.

"Canada's Drag Race" has ever had.

In my neon orange baklava.

- So girls. - Girl.
- What's the stats?
- Oh. - Let's start with Jada.
- She won a challenge.
- And the bottoms?
- I mean-- - You forgot those.
[laughter]
I had a bit of a rocky start at the beginning,
but two wins, baby.
- Work. Work.
- Same thing, one bottom, two wins.
You, Kimmy? - Like, one win.
This competition is very tight.
Like, all the top four is literally some fierce bitches.

You've stolen hearts from coast to coast to coast,
but now is not the time to boast.
Before you snatch that crown, my dear,
you'll have to prove you're
true, North, strong, and fierce.
[engine revving]
- [gasps] - Ooh.
- What's up, queens?
[cheers]
My fab final four!
- Yes! - Period.
- Who's ready to be crowned Canada's next drag superstar?
For your last Maxi Challenge of the season,
you will write and record your own verse
on the "Canada's Drag Race" original track,
"True, North, Strong..." and what?
all: Fierce!
- Don't worry. I will help you lay down your vocals.
[cheers]
Then lace up those thigh highs and get ready to sweat,
'cause you'll be choreographed, yet again,
by the fabulous Hollywood Jade.
- Ooh.
- And tomorrow you'll walk down the runway
for the final time.
Category is Coronation Eleganza.
But first, get ready for a high tea photo shoot
with an extra frosty special guest.
Racers, start your engines...
all: And made the best drag queen win!
[cheers]
- Ugh, love.
There we go. That's fabulous.
- Oh! - Hello--oh, my God!
Hi! - Ah!
How are you?
It's Icesis, the reigning queen.
[mimics trumpet]
Oh, my God, it's Julie Andrews and Cruella de Vil.
- It's something. I'm so proud of you,
and congratulations. - Thank you so much.
It's an amazing trip, and it was honestly
a fucking adventure that was so hard.
- Tell me about it. Do you feel validated?
- Oh, now I am. Now I am. - Tell me about the experience.
- I won sewing challenge.
- You won a sewing challenge?
- I won the Snatch Game. - Ooh, I love a girl
that can sew. You won the Snatch Game?
Oh, wow.
- A French Canadian wins Snatch Game.
- What character did you play?
- I play Marie Curie.
[laughs]
- I don't know what that means.
- She invented radium.
- I still don't know what that means.
What would winning the crown mean to you?
And the crown is right over there,
so make the answer very good. - Oh, my God, hi, crown.
See you later.
I always say I'm the born-to-be drag queen
because when I was very young, my mom was a seamstress.
She showed me everything how to do.
So since the start, I knew how to sew.
I knew how to do makeup. I knew how to do hair.
For me, drag has always been part of my life.
It is who I am.
So I always been so proud of doing it.
And I can be a really good ambassador for it.
- Do you want to do a photo shoot?
- Are we doing a photoshoot?
- We're gonna do a photoshoot.
- I love photoshoot!
- Ugh, love.
- Let's arch the back.
- Decadent.
- Put your legs up.
- Ooh--ooh, the knees. Remember the knees.
- Icesis is an old bitch like me.
But you know what? I feel perfectly healthy.
[groans]
Hold this in your hand like I'm going
to serve you a piece of the crown.
- Oh, that's so smart.
- I want to taste the crown.
- You want to taste it? Now you're tasting it.
- So now you're afraid, but I'm gonna do that.
- Fabulous. Thank you so much.
- Yay! - You're welcome.
- Oh, so good to see you.
I'm so proud of you. - So nice to see you. Me too.
- Good luck.
- Ooh, hello, Miss Icesis. - Hi. Hello.
Hi, Fiercalicious.
How are you? - Hi. I'm good.
Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.
- Icesis and I have both had similar journeys
in this competition.
We started off a little bit rocky.
But after getting out of our heads
and believing in ourselves,
we shot straight for the stars.
- Oh, my God, she's so cute.
Did you expect to make it this far in the competition?
- Coming into the competition, I was like, yes,
I'm definitely gonna be in the top.
But then the first week, girl,
the first design challenge got me good.
- Are you a designer?
- I'm a hot glue gun girl.
I sewed a gown. I won the ball. - Did you?
- Yes. - You won the ball?
- Yes, I did. - Oh, my God. Congratulations!
- Thank you. Thank you.
- What would winning the crown mean to you?
- I learned about drag because of "Drag Race,"
and it changed my life.
Seeing queens that were similar to me
gave me the confidence to start drag for myself.
- Did you make any friends while you were here?
- No. - That's OK.
- No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
Let's do, like, a little cheers moment.
- Cheers. - Where's the camera?
Maybe let's do back-to-back.
- Bitch, you better stop pushing me.
[laughs] - I'm posing with my leg.
I'm trying to pose. - I felt all the ass
on my back.
Where do you want me to stand?
- Let me grab the crown first.
- No, don't touch my crown, girl.
[laughs]
- That's fabulous, ladies.
- Thank you. - Good luck.
- Love you. - Bye.
- Bitch, I can't-- - Hey!
- Girl.
It's my girl, Miss Icesis Couture.
And let me tell you something.
She looks like money.
It has been a roller coaster.
I cry every week.
- Do you? - On the top, crying.
Bottom, crying.
Winner, crying. - Why is that?
- From season one, I was always the name
that was, like, thrown around-- oh, my God,
Jada for "Drag Race," duh, duh, duh, duh.
It has put so much pressure on me.
- You don't want to disappoint yourself,
the people around you who have supported you.
- That part. - What would it mean to you
if you won this beautiful crown--
- Wait, is that real? - It's right there.
- Ooh.
My family's back home in Barbados.
My mom loves me dearly.
I'm still a little shy to take her to--
to Jada Hudson's show.
- She hasn't seen it in person yet?
- She hasn't seen it in person.
If I was to win, I feel like she would see
that is actually, like, my son really going for his dreams.
- Aw, you're gonna make me cry.
- Aw, don't cry, girl.
This is one day I don't want to cry, girl.
Icesis poured me some tea.
You know what? No.
Just feed me a macaroon, honey,
'cause Mama is hungry.
Mm. - Let go!
[laughs]
Bitch, you almost ate my finger.
[laughs]
- [gasps] - Ugh, beautiful.
Turn up?
- Turn up. - Turn up for Jada!
- [screams] - Oh, my God!
- Girl, it's Icesis!
It's my mother.
- I'm dead. Ooh.
- I miss my mama bear so much.
- You look like you're withering away.
Let mother feed you.
- [laughs] - Cheers.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you. - I'm so proud of you.
- The minute that I came in, I was like,
I'm gonna fuck shit up, bitch.
Let's go.
House of Couture, baby.
- [yells] Ay!
This my daughter! She came here to win!
[laughing] I'm so excited.
[laughs]
Did you end up in the bottom?
- I did twice.
- So you are my daughter.
- Yes! - [laughs]
What would winning mean to you?
- It would mean a lot to me because it would represent,
you know, the underrepresented community.
It feels great to be the first trans woman
to make it to the finale of "Canada's Drag Race."
And girl, I'm making herstory right now, honestly.
- Knowing you, I was a little bit worried
because this competition was so hard for me mentally,
and I'm also shy like you are.
So the fact that you're here--
I know how much strength it takes to get here,
and I can't believe you did it.
- Let's do a family photo.
- Yes.
Mother-daughter power duo. Ugh.
- Where would you like to put me?
This is the one time you can be in charge of me.
- How about I'll lean on the table,
and then, like, I'll hold some tea like this?
- Aw.
- Fabulous. Thank you, ladies.
- Oh, my God.
I'm so proud of you.
- I'm the only one who got a family visit, bitch.
- Bye, love you. - Bye.
- [fake cries] Guys.
- Now it's time to write the lyrics to what?
"True, North, Strong, and Fierce."
I'm excited. Let's turn it out.
- Oh, bitch.
- So what are you, like, writing about?
What is your verse gonna be, you know?
- Well, I'm gonna talk about my drag family.
- House of Couture. - The House of Couture.
And then maybe I'll talk about me being trans.
- I want to write about, like, you know--
you know, I'm a city girl.
I'm a lyricist.
It will be a little bit of, like, you know,
migrating to the big city and, like,
make your dreams come true...
- Aww. - That kind of thing.
I've been doing this for 13 years.
I have written a lot of my lyrics
to my own music before.
And this is what this challenge is about--
bringing out your personality
and dancing the hell down boots.
- What about you, Gisèle?
- I'm writing about me.
I put some French in there.
Just a little-- just a little sprinkle.
Even if I've never written lyrics before,
you know, it's still a performance,
so I'm good at that.
I talk about me mainly,
about the good quality I have,
and I want people to have, too--
so being kind, being sweet. - Aw.
- Yeah.
- Well, I'm writing about my journey
throughout this competition--
being confident and being fierce.
I have to kill the song,
kill this performance,
and snatch that crown.
We all better turn it out
'cause one of us is gonna win.
- Ooh. - Hi.
Look at my nieces.
- We are recording a track for an original "Drag Race" song!
What?
- All right, are you ready to lay some tracks?
- Oh, yeah. - Let's do it.
- Let's get going. Fierce, you're up first.
- Yay. - So come join me.
- The last time I recorded a song
for the Rusical, it went very well.
I'm sure it's gonna go just as amazing.
- All right, are you ready? - I'm ready.
[rapping] Serving looks so icy, icy.
Personality spicy, spicy.
Rags to riches. She's slayin' bitches.
I'm True, North, Strong, and Fiercalicious.
- [laughs] - [speaking] Like out of breath
on the last one. - Right?
That's a lot of words.
- Yeah, she's mouthy.
- We're gonna do that first paragraph again.
Punch the rhymes. - OK.
- And give me the attitude. Give me
that Fiercalicious attitude. - OK. I will.
[rapping] True to who I am.
Don't like me? Don't give a damn.
[speaking] Sorry, "forget your man."
- I think you're going too fast.
You're going, "True, true to who I am.
Don't like me? Don't give a damn."
- Girl, I'm really excited. - Like, you have a little bit
more time than you think, OK? - OK.
- And give me personality, girl.
- [rapping] Little bit bratty, little bit catty.
Forget your man. I'm leaving with your daddy.
- There you go. That was good.
Good job, Fierce. - Thank you.
- All right, up next we have Kimberly Couture.
- [rhythmically] House of Couture,
the next generation.
I'll ax these bitches with no hesitation.
- Cute. - Was that good?
- I love that. - OK.
- We need to talk about the word "ax."
- Ax? - Yeah, you're saying "ass."
- Oh, sorry.
- Just really give me that X, that ax.
- Ax.
[rhythmically] I'll ax these bitches with no hesitation.
[speaking] Working with Brooke Lynn,
she knows what she's doing.
- Give me all of the Kimmy in this, OK?
- I'm just gonna trust her and follow her instructions.
- Now, you know, just have fun.
You know, like, dance around.
Do whatever you got to do to get, like,
the personality and shit to flow out of you, OK?
- All right.
- We want your personality on this track.
- [rhythmically] Charisma, check.
Uniqueness, check.
Nerve and talent, it feels correct.
- I don't want, "It feels correct."
- OK. - I want, "It feels correct!"
- It feels correct! - Personality.
- Exactly, that.
- [rhythmically] Charisma, check.
Uniqueness, check.
Nerve and talent, it feels correct.
- Whoo! - Yes.
- Thank you so much. - Thank you, Kimberly.
- So Jada, I'm very excited for this
'cause you're a little bit of a singer, aren't you?
- Well, yeah. - Are you gonna be
singing a little bit in this verse?
- I'm more rapping. - You're rapping?
- Right? Let's go.
[rapping] Strong, that's on me.
I came with a plan. I'm the real queen bee.
[singing] You can't fuck with me.
- Yes, bitch.
- Jada got the groove, girl.
She can sing for real.
- [rapping] Island gal, Barbados to the city.
Canadian queen, immigrated, kitty, kitty.
[speaking] The "girl" on the "purr" is supposed to be, like,
a little--not like-- like, a background.
- Yeah, OK, we're gonna do the "purr" pickup.
- So I'll do some-- [rolls tongue]
And I'll do some "purr."
- Let's get this so we can move on.
[laughter]
- [indistinct] girl.
[rolls tongue]
Purr.
- These are way too long.
- [rolls tongue]
- Purr. - [rolls tongue]
- Purr.
- Too long. - Purr.
- Purr.
- Girl, it's "purr!" Purr!
- Jada, do not understand short?
Purr. - Purr.
- [laughs]
- Wait, is it long?
- You're like, purr.
- 'Cause I'm supposed to sound like a cat.
- You don't have time to sound like a cat.
- Oh, God, really? - But still give it attitude.
Purr.
- Purr!
- Yes. - Perfect. Thank you.
- Purr!
- Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty. Purr, purr, purr.
- Thank you, Jada. [laughs]
- Thank you so much.
- All right, Gisèle.
- [vocalizes] [coughs]
My biggest challenge in this competition
always been the singing part.
You know, I hate singing.
- [arrhythmic] Looking where to put the crown.
Just here. I am Gisèle Lullaby.
Be funny, be kind, be proud of who you are.
But remember, I am the superstar.
- OK. [laughs]
We might have to rework this a little bit...
- No problem. - 'Cause it's not giving me--
giving me rap. - OK.
- [speaking] From Montréal to on the throne...
- "To on the throne."
- This francophone will bring it home.
- Oh, my God.
Yeah, I love that.
Brooke Lynn is so helpful.
She's really good at helping,
and she has rhythm, and it's really fun.
[rapping] From Montréal to on the throne,
this francophone will bring it home!
- Yes. - OK, that was it.
We got that. That was perfect.
Thank you. - This was so fun, my God.
- I can't. - Whoo!
[laughter]
- Top four.
- Bitch! - Yes!
- I hope you're ready.
This choreography is no joke.
- Real talk, listen, I'm not ready.
My back has never been the same since the Rusical.
- We're gonna start with you, Fierce.
- Uh-oh.
- Eight, and a-one and two.
Ta, ta, ta, and right and left, right, left.
- Girl, she's putting me through it today.
- Five, six, seven, eight.
Uh-uh.
And a-one.
Uh-uh.
- My hands are doing this.
My feet are doing this.
Girl, I don't know what is going on here.
- One.
Mm-hmm.
It's just way faster than that. - Yeah.
- Miss Fiercalicious, girl,
she says she's a choreo girl.
She says she took dance classes.
I don't know.
- And one, two, three, and four.
And five, six.
OK, there's a lot of gray area right now.
And what I need you to be is live and in living color.
- I really need to nail these moves
because this performance is the last thing
standing in between me and that crown.
- All right. You're like, put me in, Coach.
- Yeah.
- All right, well, I'm putting you in.
Here we go.
- Kimmy's a dancing queen.
I know Kimmy's gonna get the choreo down pat.
Easy for Kimmy.
- And a-one, two, three, four.
Five, six, seven, and eight.
And a-one and two, three, four.
Five, turn six, seven, eight.

- Ta. Thank you.
Ta, shimmy, ha, seven and eight.
Almost.
Close, close, close, close. - Yes, Kimmy.
- So really focus on detail.
- I'm gonna do this.
I'm gonna practice all night 'cause, girl,
I'm not playing around anymore.
It's the finale, girl.
- You're the turn up queen, right?
Turn up. - OK.
- Give it to me.
- I'm a dancer. I've been dancing for years.
But honey... - Five, six, seven, eight.
- Girl... - One, two--
- I got to try to keep up, honey, OK?
- Brilliant.
From the top.
- Girl.
- One and two.
Three and four.
- Jada is nailing her choreography.
She has got these moves down.
- Seven, eight.
One, two, three, four.
Five and six.
- Yeah! - All right.
- Yes, Jada. - Jada isn't playing around
when it comes to dance.
- This is the world stage, honey.
Right? Give it all to me.
So try to find a way to incorporate your personality
into the movement that I've just given you.
- Mm-hmm. I need to literally
give to you like I am at the Super Bowl, honey.
I need to, like, bring the bang.
- Gisèle.
- Yes, Gisèle.
- I love your theater outfit.
You said, I am a serious actor in my all black.
[laughter]
- Gisèle came to rehearsal in her turtleneck.
Girl, are you about to unveil the new iPhone?
- Game face on.
That's what I want to see.
Here we go.
Five, six, seven, eight.
- OK. - Up and up.
Six, seven, eight.

- This is fast, people.
- One, two, three, four.
Five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four.
Five and six, seven, eight.
- [groans]
- She's a ditty.
- Yeah.
- Gisèle is doing pretty good.
Right now, she's my biggest competition
because she's a dancer, and that girl works.
- The more consistent you are in your repetition
of where everything is placed, the easier it will become.
Yeah? - Yeah.
The show is tomorrow.
I'm just gonna have to focus and make it happen.
True!
- North!
- Strong!
- And fierce!
- Ugh! - Period.
[cheers]
- It's Coronation Day.
Any one of us is gonna be the winner
of "Canada's Drag Race" season three.
Our last time getting ready here.
- It's all thinking in now, that it's, like--
- Yeah, this is the last time.
What was your favorite moment in this season?
- Seeing you in the bottom.
[laughter]
- I know.
I could see everyone happy about it.
- Honestly, that was a good moment, girl.
I was like, yes, bitch.
She's not that perfect.
[laughter]
- Seriously, girls, what did you learn here?
- I learned to, like, just be more cautious of,
like, the things that I'm saying
and how I'm coming across to people.
- I'm proud of you. You have changed.
You became a better person, and you realize when you're wrong.
And that's the biggest step in the world.
So congrats on this, bitch.
- Thank you. - Mine is definitely
pushing the boundaries of my comfort zone.
I'm actually a really, really shy person.
Like, when I say funny things or I'm talking like,
"bitch, you know--"
like, deep inside I'm actually very shy at that moment.
And I'm trying to compensate, you know what I mean?
I've grown in this competition.
If you get into your head, visit, but don't stay in it.
- I learned to push myself.
Like, I've been complacent, I feel like,
for 13 years doing drag derby.
Like, being in this competition,
it has learned me to, like, you know, try different things
and just to, like, have fun and be myself.
- I've learned that I can do a full-on TV show in English.
- Yes. - Ah! I live.
- Gisèle, oh, my God. I loved the way that, like,
you have learned to love me.
You've always been really helpful to me, and you always,
like, every time I feel like, you know, I'm doubting myself,
you're always there like, you're a fucking superstar.
- Yeah. - But it's true, girls.
We're here for a reason because one of the best,
and I won't stop saying it
because we're in a fucking competition.
And Jada... - Uh-huh?
- You've really grown a lot, too.
- Yeah, especially, like, the last few weeks.
Like, girl, you've been, like, in such a good mood,
and it puts, like, all of us in such a good mood.
- Are you saying that I am the mother?
- I mean, you are the oldest.
[laughs]
[RuPaul's "Cover Girl"]
[cheers]
- OK.
- Whoo-whoo! - Work.
- Welcome to the grand finale of "Canada's Drag Race."
He's my sister from another mister.
It's Brad Goreski.
- Love you, Brooke. But I'd describe us
more as besties from other testes.
- [laughs]
And it's the stunning Traci Melchor.
Trace, are you ready to start crowning?
- I am. And I think I need an epidural.
- Ooh, that sounds fun. Make it two.
- Sharesies.
- And it's our extra special guest judge,

Heart of gold, but she gets a little feisty.
Nobody this fierce. Honey, that's the tea.
Hey! Don't stop.
Gotta get out of my head to make it to the top.
'Cause I'm fierce. Make it drop.
Hard work pays off, and I'm never gonna stop.
Serving looks so icy, icy.
Personality spicy, spicy.
Rags to riches, slayin' bitches.
I'm true, North, strong, and Fiercalicious.
- [on track] Stay true, North, strong, and fierce.
Stay true, North, strong, and fierce.

Put me in the bottom, bitch, I'm here to stay.
House of Couture, the next generation.
I'll ax these bitches with no hesitation, ha!
Bra and panties, yeah, that's right.
This body-ody is serving real tight.
Face, goddess. Body like thunder.
Pussy so fire makes straight boys want her.
Charisma, check. Uniqueness, check.
Nerve and talent, it feels correct!
- [on track] True, North, strong, and fierce.
True, North, strong, and fierce.

Playing the game and causing a scene.
Serving body and Black girl tea.
Forget the haters. Be who you want to be!
Island gal, Barbados to the city.
Canadian queen, immigrated, kitty, kitty.
The crown is mine, queen, step aside.
Get in the car. Back seat, girls.

Time to turn up in this place.

Stay true, North, strong, and fierce.
[cheers]
- [rapping] Looking where to put the crown.
Bonjour, c'est à moi, Gisèle Lullaby.
Funny, kind, proud of who I am.
I help those bitches. They're all my fans.
Shouldn't say I'm perfect. Je suis parfait.
[rapping in French]
She's what? A comedian.
She can walk the walk and talk the talk.
From Montréal to on the throne,
this francophone will bring it home.
- [on track] True, North, strong, and fierce.
True, North, strong, and fierce.
Bring back our girls.
[cheers]
- True. - [rapping] True to who I am.
Don't like me? Don't give a damn.
Little bit bratty, little bit catty.
Forget your man. I'm leaving with your daddy.
- North. - [rapping] North is the place
to be, and I'm the one to beat.
And if you come for the House of Ice,
then you better think twice.
- Strong. - [rapping] Strong.
That's on me. I came with a plan.
I'm the real queen bee.
[singing] You can't fuck with me.
[cheers]
- [rapping] Look how fierce you are.
That's your power. It's who you are.
Je ne sais quoi, queen of your bar.
Make it happen by working hard.
[cheers]
- [on track] May the best drag queen win!
Stay true, North, strong,
and fierce.
[cheers]
- Oh, my gosh. Kill it.
[RuPaul's "Just What They Want"]
- [rapping] I know you wanna work.
- Category is...
First up, Miss Fiercalicious.
- Ooh.
- I have never looked better than I do in this moment.
I'm wearing royal blue.
I'm draped in silk and jewels.
I'm showing off my gorgeous leg.
- This look is a little slutty.
- I think you mean a little slitty.
- Oh.
- This gown is fit for a queen.
It's Fiercalicious' world, and you're all just living in it.
- Gorgeous.
- Kimmy Couture.
- Ooh.
- I'm wearing a quintessential Kimmy Couture.
I'm working this runway as if it's the last runway
of a lifetime, bitch.
I feel like a glistening green goddess.
- She has me sea-foaming at the mouth.
- Yes. - Oh, girl, yeah, she does.
- I have a jewel in my chin because in the Asian culture,
we love everything so pointy.
Toes pointy, hands pointy,
and the chins pointy.
[cheers]
- Jada Shada Hudson.
- Oh!
- This is the moment I've been waiting for.
I am a vision in red.
Eat it up. Eat all of this melanin up.
- Turns out rubies are a girl's best friend.
- I feel beautiful.
I feel rich. I feel radiant.
I feel like this is a winner's gown.
- Jada Shada Hudson,
the rose of Barbados.
We have a floater. - Oh.
- Oh.
- [chuckles]
- Gisèle Lullaby.
- Ooh. - Oh!
- So I'm wearing a rose gold fantasy.
I look naked but elegant.
Everything matched perfectly.
You know what? Blonde have more fun.
- She's going for gold--
rose gold.
- Look at me. I'm the superstar.
- Ooh.
- So cold.
- Is that a famous actress?
Is that a superstar?
No, it's Gisèle Lullaby.
- Wow, that was amazing.
- Welcome, Queens.
This has been such an incredible season.
And no matter what happens tonight,
truly, this is just the beginning.
Yesterday, you all did a photoshoot
with season two winner, Icesis Couture.
Miss Fiercalicious, here is your best photo.
You look stunning here.
- Thank you. - Tell me a little bit
about your drag journey and how you got to this moment.
- I come from a small immigrant family
that moved to Canada to provide a better life
for myself and my siblings.
My family's very religious.
They wanted me to be a doctor and find a traditional job.
So when I started drag, they were very against it.
Drag has just changed my life.
It's allowed me to find so much beauty
and confidence in myself.
The happiness that drag brought me,
I want to share that with everybody.
- Fierce, watching your growth in this competition
has been nothing short of inspirational.
- You should be very proud of who you are
and how far you've come.
Diamonds are made under pressure.
- Yes.
- Kimmy Couture.
- Hello.
- Here is your best photo.
- [laughs]
- Tell me about your drag journey to get to here.
- First off, that's first ever official photo
with me and Icesis together, girl.
- Really? - We don't have a picture
together. - Wow.
- My drag journey here has been up and down.
As a trans Asian immigrant and a rape victim,
I represent myself so proudly in this competition.
I prove myself that I'm not a broken person.
I'm a strong person, and I'm standing here
in front of you all, and I'm so fucking proud of myself.
- Thank you for sharing your story
because there are so many people out there
with similar stories,
and they're seeing you more than standing.
You are shining. - Thank you.
- You have brought so much joy
and light into this competition.
Watching you on the stage has been such a treat.
You are electric, and never let anybody put that light out.
- Thank you.
- Jada Shada Hudson.
- Hi, Brooke Lynn.
- Here is your best photo from the photoshoot.
- Aww.
- It is a stunning picture. - Oh, thank you.
- I think it really captures your spirit.
- Without drag, I wouldn't be here.
And since I don't have my family even here with me,
drag has given me my chosen family.
You know, there's a lot of queens that
[choked up] I look up to,
like Michelle Ross.
She was a mother to me.
Rest in peace, Michelle.
And she would always tell me,
Jada, one day you're gonna be on that show.
And I remember, every Pride, she would always say,
oh, my God, Jada, they always book those "Drag Race" girls,
but, honey, I would rather watch you all day.
And, you know, here I am today,
and I hope that Michelle feels proud.
This is what I did drag for,
to be standing here on this platform.
- Well, Jada, I can guarantee without a shadow of a doubt
that Michelle Ross...
[choked up] May she rest in peace,
is smiling down on you right now.
- [sniffles] - She was a legend,
and now you are a legend.
And you are carrying on the legacy
with just such beauty and dignity and grace.
- Aw, thank you so much.
- Gisèle Lullaby.
- Bonjour, boo-boo.
[laughter] - Bonjour, boo-boo.
Let's look at your picture.
Here is your best shot with Icesis Couture.
- Ooh.
- Tell me about your drag journey
and what it took to get here.
- Whew. I always say
I was born to be a drag queen.
I always been the gay boy, always been the little guy
that was too feminine.
And I've been raised in a really religious family
who quit the religion for me.
When I arrived in the drag world, I knew it was for me.
Everything that I was good at was there.
Everything that I always wanted to be was there.
It's a dream come true.
Young people need to understand that it's possible to be happy,
and you can be kind to everyone around
just to give that respect and receive it back.
- Well, Gisèle, I love your weirdness, your quirkiness.
You are so fabulously yourself.
- Thank you. Oh, my God.
[sniffles]
- You have this beautiful fearlessness
that I've talked about all season.
You are--whether it's--you're willing to give your time
to the other queens in the Werk Room,
to help give them a helping hand,
and not worry about whether or not you're going
to finish it 'cause you know you will.
But your soul is just so good.
- Thank you so much.
- It is now time for the judges' critiques.
First up is Fiercalicious.
- Miss Fiercalicious, I had so much fun
watching you in the performance.
Your verse, the lyrics were hilarious.
- With a little undertone of bratty.
You had us all in the palm of your hand.
- You had me at "gold." You had me at "ice."
So they spoke to me.
[laughter]
- Oh, I just got it. OK.
[laughter]
- This dress is blue magic.
Like, every detail, always on point.
- It's like Cinderella at the ball, just gorgeous.
And the hair tonight is--
I've never seen anything like it.
It's just gorgeous.
- You look absolutely stunning.
The lip on you in contrast
to the blue is absolutely beautiful.
And I can't take my eyes off of your leg.
- [laughs]
- And Fierce, your runway looks have been so beautiful
and so much fun to watch this season,
so I just want to say thank you for that.
Next up, Kimmy Couture.
- Kimmy, you give me that feeling--
I'm dating myself--when I used to go home from school
and watch videos and try to learn the choreography
of my favorite pop stars.
That's the energy you give me.
You make it smooth.
You make it effortless.
And you're always in it.
- In the recording, you had the least amount of trouble.
Your verse made sense. It was concise.
And it was really, really fun to watch you just kind of,
like, let your personality go.
- Start planning your tour, girl.
You are fire...
- Thank you. - On the stage.
You make it look so easy.
- This look tonight--
I'm a Virgo, I'm an Earth sign,
so green really speaks to me.
And of course, you presented it magnificently.
You know, when you come on the runway,
you strut, you stomp.
And we're here for all of it.
- Kimmy, your makeup is absolutely everything.
The glitter lip, you had me.
- I'm so excited to watch people fall in love with you.
- I can't wait, too.
[laughter]
- Jada Shada Hudson. - Turn up.
- That choreography, girl.
You were just on fire tonight.
Like, that was the quintessential
turn up queen moment.
- You were just in it to win it.
- You have this presence, and you have this It Factor,
and it was so much fun to watch.
- And your verse--
your verse gave us everything.
It gave us herstory about you--
"Island gal, Barbados to the city."
You know? - Period.
- You gave me, "Serving body and Black girl tea."
I want that on a T-shirt.
It was funny. It was entertaining.
And I'm just so damn proud of you.
- Literally, I felt like I was at the club,
and I was just performing for, like, a bunch of...
- Yes. - Friends and family.
All that was missing was a tequila shot, bitch, OK?
[laughter]
- You look magnificent.
- Thank you. - It's just--
fits your body perfectly.
The length is perfect.
- You're an absolute vision.
The crystals, the fabric, the silhouette--
it's all just divine.
It is the reason why I love drag.
You just serve.
- Thank you so much.
- Gisèle Lullaby.
- [moans]
- Gisèle, when you were out doing your verse,
I was only looking at Gisèle Lullaby.
You're always giving your all.
- Your performance, you came out in this neon,
mushroom-cut wig, and I was like, that's a fun girl.
I couldn't take my eyes off of you,
so you were absolutely incredible to watch.
- Thank you so much.
- You ooze this kind of confidence
with the way that you are so easy in your movements.
- Mm-hmm. - And it's star quality.
There's nothing "lullaby" about you.
You keep me awake, full throttle.
- I should change it to Gisèle Espresso.
[laughter]
- You look beautiful.
I love the silhouette. It's just the draping of it.
The shawl is amazing.
- I can't think of any other word than "orgasmic"
when you came down the runway.
I was just like-- [gasps]
The hair, it's a work of art on a work of art.
And the gown is--
I mean, you're better dressed than most people at the Oscars.
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you, queens.
We love you.
You may all head back to the Werk Room
and untuck while we deliberate.
all: Thank you.
[engine revving]
- Aww.
- Last "Untucked." - Ugh.
- I do not know how the judges are picking a winner
because all four of us in this group number--
killer.
I can't believe I'm sitting here right now.
Like, to win "Canada's Drag Race?"
Girl. Honey.
- Oh, no. - [screams]
- Call security!
- Not this.
- [screams] The eliminated girls are here!
- We're back!
[overlapping chatter]
- All of these fucking bitches are back.
- Bitch, you made it.
- Oh, my God, all my friends!
I'm gonna see my little Boom Boom sister.
- Cheers to season three!
[cheers]
- Halal, I just want to say, like, what you're wearing--
like, people haven't gotten to see everything
that you have to offer, but now they will.
- I mean, obviously, it's hard to go home first,
but I was here to open doors and to make space.
And that was the reason that I was here.
- And you know what? You definitely won
all of our hearts because you were so kind to work with.
- Thank you so much, y'all.
- I mean, I was only here two episodes,
but I felt like I got to know everyone quite quickly.
And I think that was the saddest part, was leaving,
although, I mean,
I'm not mad about not being here too long with this one--
Miss Fake-a-licious.
[all scream]
[laughter]
- Not Miss Moço calling me Miss Fake-a-licious.
I'm the realest bitch here.
- Miss Moço, you are the winner of this week's mini challenge.
- Yes, finally! - Condragulations.
- I am so glad to have met this cast of girls
because it reminds me of the relationship
with Canada and Indigenous peoples.
Finally, people are trying to do better in this country.
To all of you girls, you really do make me
so hopeful of the future of this country.
- I'm so grateful for you, bitch.
You totally made me more confident,
more comfortable with myself.
I've always been a proud Métis, but I just don't talk about it,
and you are helping me explore my family and my culture, too.
I love you. I don't think I would have
even made it far as I did without you here with me.
You remind me of my girlfriends from back home.
- Yeah. [laughs]
- Irma Gerd, hello, hi.
You are the very first East Coast queen.
- I was. And I made it all the way to top six.
- Yes, bitch. - Yes, baby!
[cheers]
- She said, coastal.
- Yes, I'm happy to represent.
I'm the beast from the East.
- [laughs] - [laughs]
Beast from the East!
- So it's no surprise for me that Gisèle is in the top four.
I am so happy you made it this far.
I know you made everyone back at home very proud.
[speaking French]
- [speaking French]
- Miss Fiercalicious,
I think throughout this competition,
you've shown us that you're not a bitch.
You are that bitch.
What a fucking roller coaster you've had
this entire competition.
But you did it.
You won two challenges. You lip-synched.
You were in the bottom. You were in the top.
At one point in time, you were feuding with everyone.
And look at you now.
I'm so proud of you.
- I love you, Bomb.
- Kimmy, I have to say that I was the most excited
to see you when I walked into the workroom.
And I was just, like, always been obsessed.
And, like, you it did not disappoint.
- Aw. - And you had the best
lip sync of the season.
Sorry, everyone else.
[laughter]
- I mean, it's no surprise
that this is my bitch in this group.
I'm so proud of you.
You are so incredibly talented.
Girl, you are my sister, my family,
my best friend, my everything.
I love you so much, and I'm so proud of you.
- I love you so much.
- No tears?
- I'm trying not to, girl.
I'm trying not to.
- All right, just between us loons,
what an incredible top four.
But we got to pick a winner.
What do you think about Miss Fiercalicious?
I'm so happy she's been in this competition
because she's just served us so many different amazing looks.
- When you watched her in the challenge,
she kind of gave you that look like,
you better be watching me.
- Do you think it was a gold medal performance?
- Yeah, she reminds me of that young rookie player
that you can tell is gonna be phenomenal.
- You know, she's a very beautiful queen,
but she also showed us so many different sides to her drag,
to who Miss Fiercalicious is. - Yes.
- And I really appreciated that because she could have
just gone with pretty...
- In the pretty lane. - All the way through.
- In the pretty, pretty lane. - Yeah.
- And that would have served her well, too.
- She definitely has a very sure idea of who she is.
- And she's smart.
- So smart. So intelligent.
- And I think what she really needs to do
is really run with everything that she's learned here,
and she will be a superstar.
- Kimmy Couture.
- Let's be real. She is the best dancer
that has ever hit that stage.
- Absolutely. - Oh, you know, the dancing,
her verse, it's full pop star vibes.
- Yeah, I almost fell off my chair
when she started dancing on that stage.
- Incredible. - Listen, I love a good look,
but I am a performance queen first.
I mean, I really do mean it when I say,
you can't buy talent like that.
You can't sew it. You can't do anything.
That is a God-given gift.
- Yes, agree. - And she has it.
- Great comedic timing.
She is really, really funny.
She's an incredible dancer, performer,
and she knows how to deliver.
- And I feel like the next step
of Kimmy Couture coming out of her comfort zone
will be the evolution of her look.
- Absolutely.
Up next, Jada Shada Hudson.
- That verse was exceptional.
- Fire. - I mean, Drake,
give Jada Shada Hudson a call,
because you've got a new feature.
- Oh, my God. - You've got a new feature.
Could you see it?
- Champagne Papi and the Turn Up Queen?
- [screams] - Absolutely.
- That was her stage tonight.
There was that It Factor that you could just see from her.
- And not only to see her looking beautiful
and doing well, but to see her believing it.
- Yes, that is the most beautiful thing
when you see a drag queen-- you see the light switch click
in their head and they are like, oh, my God, I'm good.
- I'm supposed to be here. - I'm supposed to be here.
- And she turned a look tonight.
- She did. - The best she's ever looked,
and starting from really good already.
- It's beautiful watching her develop into a superstar.
And I think that's exactly what we're going to see
from her once she leaves this competition.
- Well, last but certainly not least, Gisèle Lullaby.
- What a dream. - What a dream.
- She really is. - She really is.
- She just brought so much joy to the stage.
She lit up the stage.
And her lyrics were fun.
I thought she really brought out her personality
and also paid homage to her roots.
- Yeah. - No matter what,
she comes out onto the stage and she gives you all she has.
There's just something in the way that she moves
that has this ease to it.
- You know what that is? Finesse.
- Finesse. That's exactly the word I've been looking for.
- Finesse and sparkle. - Finesse.
- There's a sparkle about her.
- Yeah, the finale look tonight was just--
- Ugh. - Beautiful.
- To die for. - Breathtaking.
- Didn't you love that look? - To die for.
- Like, she's not just a look queen.
She's also incredibly funny.
- And she's been somebody that I feel like the queens
this season have really depended on,
and she's been willing to give of herself.
- She's mother. - She is mother.
- It was funny, too. I was trying to figure out
what kind of queen she was. I was like, are you campy?
Are you funny? Are you elegant?
- All of it. - All of it.
- She's everything. - Yeah.
She's an all-dressed chip of drag.
- Oh. - Yes!
- [laughs]
- Come on, dressed chips!
- And it's been such a surprise all season.
It's been really thrilling to be
on this side of the table, watching.
- Totally. I wouldn't want to do it with anybody else.
- I feel the same. - Aww, likewise.
- But I think we've made our decision?
Bring back our final four.
And please welcome back Halal Bae.
- Whoo! - Beautiful.
- Whoo-whoo!
Get it, Halal.
- Miss Moço.
- Yes, queen! - Come on, Miss Moço!
- Ooh! - She's a pretty lady.
- Chelazon Leroux.
- Ohh. - A vision in nude!
Yes, bitch!
Kaos.
Ooh!
[cheers]
OK. - Hello.
- Lady Boom Boom.
Yes, bitch.
- Wow! - Yes.
- Gorgeous.
- Stunning.
Bombae.
- Wow.
- She said, I am the crown.
- Yes.
Irma Gerd.
- Irma Gerd! - Irma Gerd!
- Vivian Vanderpuss.
- Whoo-whoo!
- You've been a bad, bad bunny.
[laughter]
And finally, Miss Fiercalicious,
Kimmy Couture,
Jada Shada Hudson,
Gisèle Lullaby.
[applause]
- Stunning.
- Welcome back, queens.
We have made some very tough decisions.
You are all so incredible.
[dramatic music]
However, only two of you will be lip-synching for the crown.
[dramatic music]
Jada Shada Hudson,
Gisèle Lullaby...
You will face off...
- [gasps] - For the title
of Canada's next drag superstar.
- Jada. - [breathing shakily]
- Gisèle. - Oh, my God.
- Gisèle.
- Thank you.
[exhales deeply]
- Miss Fiercalicious, Kimmy Couture,
this is the end of your journey here.
But know and understand that this is just the beginning.
We are so proud of you both.
You are both incredible.
You both showed so much growth, so much passion,
so much incredible drag.
- Take all of the things that you've learned here,
and take it out into the world
because they're waiting for you.
- I can't wait to see your stars continue to rise
because you're both exceptional and talented.
- Now, sashay to the back of the stage.
- Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
- I called it!
[indistinct whispering]
- [exhales deeply]
Fuck.
- Jada Shada Hudson, Gisèle Lullaby,
one of you will be crowned the winner of "Canada's Drag Race."
In addition to winning the title
of Canada's next drag superstar,
tonight's winner will also walk away
with a crown and scepter provided by Amped Accessories,
a sickening supply of beauty products
from Shoppers Drug Mart,
and from Trojan,
the pleasure of $100.000.
Two queens stand before us.
Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare
a lip-sync performance
of "A New Day Has Come" by Céline Dion.
This is your last chance to impress us
and prove that you are Canada's next drag superstar.
The time has come...
for you to lip-synch for the crown!
Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
- [singing] I was waiting for so long
for a miracle to come.
Everyone told me to be strong.
Hold on and don't shed a tear.
Through the darkness and good times,
I knew I'd make it through.
And the world thought I had it all,
but I was waiting for you.
Hush, now.
I see a light in the sky.
Oh, it's almost blinding me.
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel
with love.
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears.
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears.
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun.
A new day has--
Let the rain come down... [cheers]
And wash away my tears.
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears.
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun.
A new day
has
come.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
[vocalizing]
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel
with love.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Hush, now.
[wild cheering]
- Wow!
[cheers]
- Bravo!
- Whoo!
- [laughs]
[dramatic music]
- Queens, this entire competition
has been so amazing.
Thank you so much.
We have reached our final decision.
The two of you have come from near and far
and shown us the charisma, uniqueness, nerve,
and talent it takes to become stars.
Jada Shada Hudson,
Gisèle Lullaby
in just a moment, one of you will be crowned
Canada's next drag superstar.
But first,
please welcome back our reigning queen,
La Pusetta herself,
Icesis Couture.
[cheers and applause]
- [laughs]
- Wow.
Bitch!
- Wow. - Oh, my God.
Incredible.
- Excuse me?
- That's how it's done.
[laughter]
[indistinct]
- Wow. - Right?
Right? Right? [laughter]
Let me hear it for the dress.
[cheers]
Hi, everybody.
- I'm, like, speechless.
- Hi, congratulations.
Oh, I'm so proud of you.
- All right, the moment we've all been waiting for.
[dramatic music]
The winner of "Canada's Drag Race"
season three is...
Gisèle Lullaby!
[cheers]
Yeah!
- Congratulations!
- I'm the winner of "Canada Drag Race!"
Merci, merci, merci, merci, merci, merci.
Oh, my God. Thank you so much.
This is really heavy.
This is a dream come true for me,
and it means so much to be the first French Canadian

Everything I did in my life is a buildup
for what drag superstar I can be.
Everything I did.
- Our Québécois queen.
You're whimsical.
You're witty.
And you're an all-around wonder.
We cannot wait to watch you take the world by storm.
Long live the queen!
[cheers]
Now take your walk.
True, North, strong, and fierce.

You wear it, you wear it, you wear it well.
