09:01in their authentic self and like yes this takes a lot of fucking work but it's worth it i'm so proud
09:07of you thank you do you have any questions for me yeah where'd you get your work done
09:11i mean how has this year been like raining first of all grateful getting to work with like

09:25building up these these communities and like showing queer joy so i've watched venus

10:29hardest part for me was really getting out of my own way while my i don't give a fuck attitude helped
10:33get me here it's something i've had to overcome while i'm here because not giving a fuck is just an
10:40easy way of being like i'm too scared who are you doing this for all of the people that maybe believe

11:54put your spin on it and like you are authentically yourself i'm going to perform in like the way that
12:00i want to perform nobody can replicate that do you have any questions for me is there anything that you
12:06wish someone had warned you about ooh there's so many people that will love you and there's a lot
12:12of people that maybe just won't at the end of the day pay them no mind because as long as you can go

12:24love is so much stronger i love that can we get naked that's so funny you shouldn't mention that

12:57yeah we did it hi baby hello mikaela top four top motherfucking four how has this been for you i learned
13:09that i i can be very uptight with myself i grew up with a single black mother and you know the typical
13:17story of the single black mother is you work hard you have to be you know perfect perfect perfect
13:23and that's kind of how i carried my own life if i wasn't perfect then i'm not making the people
13:29that you know love me proud i had a moment where i was just like enough's enough like i deserve to
13:35just be happy i deserve to have that grace yes girl i am breathing
13:40just think of younger me and like what would they say seeing me like where i am and not just
13:52in this competition but like as an adult i thought i was just gonna grow old and look like a man
14:02i want to do it for literally just any black queer youth out there and let them know that like
14:08this is possible i would tell younger me you are doing everything right you are doing everything
14:14right there we go beautiful gorgeous expression baby it's so surreal watching venus divine divine

14:43arville peck we're all about to be masked for masks today can't wait to work with all of you i'm so
14:49excited to see what everyone's written all right first up we have helena poison i'm up first i'm not
14:54feeling that nervous because i know i'm gonna kill this and show these girls how it's done tell me about
15:00your song what's the inspiration behind these lyrics my song's called poison kind of about my
15:05journey here being really stuck in my head and hard on myself reminding myself to just like do what
15:10you do because that's what they like best do you want to do like a take been a weirdo from the start
15:16freaky style concept art out of my mind doesn't make you nervous poison control is out of service
15:22just think about like a little bit of dynamic between each line so that we don't end up just getting
15:26like a little bit monotone throughout the whole thing like give like dark and shade to it between
15:30orville and my sisters i feel very encouraged and comfortable to just be a full idiot bottomed ones
15:36but mostly topped spitters are quitters i can't be stopped what does the line spitters are quitters i
15:42can't be stopped it's like don't spit out the poison oh god also a joke about blowjobs yeah yeah totally
15:48got it because he's not a spitter that's why or a quitter poison don't think too much just sip some
15:58poison the poison i think make it like breathier like poison yeah exactly poison okay poison poison poison
16:18i love it i think we got it tell me about your song i'm a virgo i wanted to add a lot of branding
16:25that had to do with like the stars and me being a star kind of just like an anthem to like inspire
16:31people i love that virgo's back with a brand new track quiet confidence to run a zodiac
16:36they can't stop thinking about how she looks like a gay inspector gadget

20:51sincere goal is to stretch all of you as performers this is the finale we've got to give the kids
20:58a show this is something i'm not the strongest at so i just have to work twice as hard one visual i
21:04have is some like like something very grand and like hello like we're serving poison because i'm doing
21:10like a lot of just like saying my name like poison up throw it to the side up throw it to the side

21:24choreo work with how i perform work with my song and present it the best way possible to the judges
21:31i have to kill this challenge like i'm not losing this challenge tell me about your track it's very soulful
21:39mm-hmm a testimony to me and black women everywhere stand in your power you are that girl i can get
21:46behind this okay and i think i've got something that feels like that talking about standing in your
21:51power i think we're gonna start with this open one open now i've worked with miss hollywood jade
21:59and she likes to make me sweat push it over and push it over she believes in my capabilities and what
22:07i can do and always pushes me to go that one extra step further and land four yeah and you want
22:13to land down in a good old come on deep plie put that thing on the floor on the floor two and three
22:20four five six i got some of it channel all of that black girl magic into a hundred thousand dollar victory
22:28period who's ready to step i work with hollywood outside of here and he don't play not even for
22:40one minute give it to me miss jade tell me about your song it's like has a little bit of virgo astrology
22:47in there okay a little witchiness but of course it's like bad energy all right well back it up let's go i
22:53don't want him to hold back i want to be doing everything the dancers are doing and more three
22:58and four five six seven eight you've got length okay use it yeah like push through all of it someone's
23:06going home with a hundred thousand dollars in my experience the person who is the most detailed
23:11takes the prize yeah so let's be detailed pull this back up and down uh-huh up stretch your arms
23:18i'm a known dancer i'm known for performing so i don't want to just reach that level of expectation
23:25i want to surpass it in terms of movement where on the spectrum do you fall she's a solid six six
23:34six is good six is a pass and by the time i'm done with you it'll be like a 7.5 or an eight
23:40now those extra two points to the 10 it's what you bring to it it's how you feel it i'm willing to push
23:45myself like if you give me an eight count like let's see how we go think about what you're saying
23:50lyrically and how we can mesh these two together okay like i want this to feel like an extension
23:55of what you've written one two three four even though it's like eight counts it feels like 800
24:02counts think about making everything as crisp as possible ta-ta-tiki-ta-tiki-ta-ti-ta-ti-ta-ti-ta-ti-ta
24:09i miss this bit he's showing me the titi-ti-ta-ta-ta-ta-ka-ka-ka-kees and i'm probably getting

28:16Xanatist said you're mean girl now.

29:23Performing her deadly single,
29:25Poison, is Helena.
29:31Been a weirdo from the start.
29:33Freaky style concept art.
29:35Out of my mind doesn't make you nervous.
29:37Poison control is out of service.
29:39Hard on myself but took the note.
29:41I'm the venom in the antidote.
29:43Too many voices in my head.
29:45Put them all to bed and serve them.
29:47Poison.
29:49Don't drink too much, just sip some.
29:51Moison.
29:53From now on we're serving.
29:55Poison.
29:57Check the label, I think she's.
29:59Poison.
30:01Elevated, caffeinated.
30:03Not sketched out but illustrated.
30:05Sweep approved, I'm literate.
30:07Like cookies laced with arsenic.
30:09Bottomed once but mostly topped.
30:11Spitters are quitters, I can't be stopped.
30:13The best mug of the season.
30:15When I take that crown, you'll know the reason I'm.
30:17I, uh, probably should have remembered this earlier.
30:21I am poison.
30:25Don't think too much, just sip some poison.
30:29From now on we're serving poison.
30:33Check the label, I think she's poison.
30:35Poison.
30:37Poison.
30:39Poison.
30:41Killed it.
30:43Poison!
30:45She's about to eclipse the competition.
30:49Here's the Virgo Queen performing her single,
30:51The Stars Have Aligned.
30:53Virgo, Virgo, Virgo.
30:57Virgo's back with a brand new track.
30:59Quiet, covenistio, zodiac.
31:01Rosebud on lock, runway walking.
31:03No time for shade, talent, there's the talking.
31:05From the start, I made my mark.
31:09The stars have a line.
31:13Oh, free your mind.
31:19You're one of a kind.
31:23The stars have a line.
31:27Through the petty petty short-lived for enemies.
31:29On top and they couldn't get rid of me.
31:31Ancestor, my witness, this afro-indigenous.
31:33My Fijian daughter, yeah, this is our mission.
31:35Soul exposed, about to explode.
31:39The stars have a...
31:41I ain't never been stained, so put the money in the bank.
31:43Cards, information.
31:49Virgo constellation.
31:53Free your mind.
31:57You're one of a kind.
32:01The stars have a line.
32:14Commence, shake, down.
32:17Category is Coronation Eleganza.
32:20Let's welcome back our eliminated queens.
32:23First up, Terra Nova.
32:25Woo!

33:28Hot!
33:29And finally, Perla!
33:30Wow!
33:32Fail her!
33:33I hardly know her!
33:34Stunning, Perla!
33:35Stunning!
33:36Yay, Perla!
33:37Woo!
33:40And now, our top four.
33:43The Virgo Queen.
33:45Yes!
33:46I'm wearing this beautiful ball gown princess fairytale fantasy vibe.
33:53She's going to the ball.
33:54She's the belle of the ball.
33:56Silver linings gay look.
33:59It represents, like, black excellence.
34:01It's giving pageantry.
34:04It's giving regal, expensive bling bling bling everywhere.
34:09The fantasy is...
34:11Fuck the fantasy.
34:12Crown me, bitch.
34:13Helena poison.
34:15Ooh.
34:17Beautiful.
34:18I am wearing custom kink engineering.
34:21I'm wearing a latex one-armed mermaid gown.
34:25She is sweaty and slimy and absolutely stunning.
34:30This look is tight.
34:31Skin tight.
34:33I'm slithering down the runway,
34:35giving them a little alien, a little monster,
34:37a little glamour queen.
34:39I'm just giving them pure poison.
34:42I got a lethal dose of her eleganza.
34:46Mini Wang.
34:47She's serving imperial Asian goddess.
34:52It is brand.
34:54It's drama mama.
34:56She's Melbourne-ing up the stage.
34:58Oh, no.
34:59Oh, no!
35:00Oh, no!
35:01Oh, no!
35:02Throughout this whole competition,
35:03I've brought my culture from both Australia and also my Chinese culture.
35:09It's something that is uniquely me.
35:11I couldn't be more proud to show what the term Asian excellence means.
35:16And finally,
35:17Mikayla Couture.
35:19Wow!
35:20Ooh!
35:21Yes!
35:22I'm in this head-to-toe white wedding gown.
35:26This is giving opulence.
35:29This is giving ethereal goddess.
35:31Ebony in ivory.
35:33I want to bring my version of a wedding gown to the runway.
35:37I'm all grown up looking like my higher, true artistic self.
35:43So pretty.
35:44Gorgeous.
35:47Welcome, queens.
35:49Our final four.
35:50Yesterday, you all did a photo shoot with our season four winner, Venus.
35:54Virgo, here is your best shot.
35:57Aww, so sexy.
36:02You look amazing.
36:03Tell me about your journey to get to this point.
36:06Life for me has not always been handed to me.
36:10Being from poverty, being black, coming up from the hood, you know,
36:17it's really just made me the person that I am.
36:20I used to close my eyes at night and just wish that I could wake up in a different place.
36:24But without all of that struggle, I wouldn't be the person I am.
36:29One thing this experience has taught me, if something happens and it strikes you down,
36:33you just gotta put your head up, keep pushing.
36:36That's me, Virgo out.
36:38Piece of hair grease.
36:41Okay?
36:42Helena Poison.
36:43Hello.
36:44Here is your best shot.
36:46Ooh, yes.
36:48Tell me about your journey to get to this moment.
36:51It's been an incredible, amazing journey of honestly just hustle and perseverance
36:58and unwavering, unapologetic self-expression.
37:01I fought really hard to get where I am being an alternative weirdo.
37:06I would mold myself to fit in, but I never change who I am.
37:09I think I have the seasoning and maturity to carry a title as big as Canada's next drag superstar.
37:18Ninny Wang.
37:21Hi.
37:22Here is your best shot with Venus.
37:24Oh, yes.
37:25Tell me about your journey to get to this moment.
37:27I grew up an ABC, as we call them, an Australian-born Chinese.
37:31So from the get-go, I knew that I was different because in a Western culture,
37:35as a Chinese family, we just did everything differently.
37:38Arts was never seen as, like, a viable career path.
37:43Cut to me moving here to Canada.
37:45Drag allowed me to explore who I am as a person.
37:49In all of us lives a femme and a mask and everything in between.
37:53To truly love yourself and know who you are,
37:56you need to pay attention to both ends of the spectrum and everything in between.
38:01And finally, I am not hiding these shoulders today.
38:06Because if you do not crown me, I'm going to fucking beat you up!
38:13Michaela Couture, here is your best shot with Venus.
38:17Oh, my God. We're so beautiful.
38:19Tell me about your journey to get to this moment.
38:22Growing up on our family home wall,
38:26we had a little poster that said my dead name,
38:30and under it said,
38:31a boy whose name will be in lights.
38:34Now, my mom was wrong.
38:36She didn't have a boy,
38:38but this girl's name has been in lights,
38:41and it will continue to be in lights.
38:43And three years ago, you met me,
38:45all of y'all met me at 18 years old,
38:48and I stand here in front of you,
38:5021 years old, a beautiful black trans woman
38:54who could stand in her power and say
38:57that I fucking did it.
38:59I am forever grateful.
39:01Thank you, Michaela.
39:03Queens, it's now time for your final critiques,
39:06starting with the Virgo Queen.
39:08What to do, what to do.
39:10I really enjoyed your performance today of your single.
39:12You gave Popstar.
39:13It didn't sound like a drag queen song.
39:15It sounded like a song I would hear on the radio.
39:17You were such an absolute pleasure to work with.
39:20You have a beautiful voice.
39:22You took notes so elegantly and so seamlessly,
39:25and that's like a whole talent all in itself.
39:28I was very proud of you tonight.
39:29You did a really beautiful job.
39:31Your look tonight is just breathtaking.
39:35You have given us so many different sides of your drag.
39:39You have shown us so much versatility,
39:42and then you saved this beautiful fairy tale
39:45for the last look.
39:47You look like a queen, you act like a queen,
39:50you are a queen.
39:51You have this unbothered, elegant aura
39:56that just screams superstar.
39:58From your runway presentation to your performances,
40:02you really seize the day.
40:05Up next, Helena Poison.
40:08I really enjoyed your single.
40:10You're a wonderful performer.
40:12Your lyricism is amazing.
40:13I thought you did a really great job.
40:15Hard on myself, but took the note,
40:17I am the venom and the antidote.
40:19So smart.
40:20You've shown us really who you are,
40:22and you've really done it your way,
40:24which I think is so special.
40:25I love this look.
40:27Simple, yet effective.
40:29And not very easy to cut, sew, make this silhouette,
40:34make it smooth, keep it shiny,
40:37and walk the way that you did in it.
40:39You know, it took me over 20 years as a performer
40:43to realize that being myself
40:45is the best thing you can do as a performer
40:48and a human,
40:49and sadly the hardest thing to do.
40:51If you can authentically perform like you did today
40:54and be true to that outsider,
40:56I think you'll find how many other outsiders you'll touch.
41:00Thanks so much.
41:01Up next, Minnie Wang.
41:03Hi.
41:04Minnie, it's been wang-derful having you here.
41:07I so enjoyed your performance.
41:09I loved your lyrics.
41:10It was really great to see you out there
41:12having a good time,
41:13and it was just very camp.
41:14It has been an immense joy
41:16to watch you come into this competition
41:18and just week after week
41:20bring your own version of your drag
41:23and yourself to the runway.
41:25I love the surprises that you give us.
41:27I never know what to expect.
41:28I never know what we're gonna see on the runway.
41:30Every single look, the details,
41:33like even just on this look here,
41:35there's always some little flourish in your drag.
41:38Having such a muscular body,
41:40you've also done such a great job
41:42of never hiding it,
41:44but always kind of showing it in a different way
41:47so that we're seeing you.
41:49You've become the fashion queen of the season.
41:52You've just served us look after look after look.
41:55And I think we've all become a fan of the wang.
41:57Yes.
41:58Michaela Couture.
42:00Well, I guess the makeover is complete.
42:03It really is.
42:05She's all grown up.
42:06And we've had the pleasure of watching your journey.
42:09You've had some falters,
42:11but you've always managed to pick yourself back up and fight.
42:14You are a fighter.
42:15That's why I love your lyrics so much.
42:17Angels, the world is gonna beat you down,
42:19but it's how you get back up that makes you a superstar.
42:21You have done the house of couture very proud.
42:26I mean, you can see the DNA in this design.
42:29It's just exceptional.
42:32You are a superstar, and tonight you are on fire.
42:35Just electric watching you perform.
42:38It was a music award show worthy performance.
42:41I was really, really especially proud of you tonight
42:45because you shared with me that you faced some insecurity
42:49around your voice after your journey in transitioning
42:52and that you hadn't really sang much ever since then.
42:54I'm just so proud because you killed it,
42:57and I just want to tell you never stop singing
43:00because you have a gorgeous voice, and...
43:02Stop it. You're gonna make me cry.
43:03You may be very proud tonight,
43:05and your performance was incredible.
43:07You have a fan in me for life,
43:09and now I'm sure many, many fans out there in the world,
43:11so congratulations.
43:13Queens, we have a big decision to make,
43:17and so do you.
43:21While you untuck, you will choose
43:23who deserves the title of Miss Congeniality.
43:26Oh.
43:27Oh.
43:28And $10,000 made possible by our partner,
43:32Gilead Sciences Canada.
43:33Yes.
43:34Wow.
43:35You may leave the stage.
43:38This is familiar.
43:43Now we are catching up with the girls.
43:46Honey, the queens are back.
43:48Oh!
43:49Oh!
43:50Oh!
43:51Push out!
43:53Uma down. Uma down.
43:55I got you.
43:57Girls!
43:59You just have to tell me everything that happened this season.
44:03Yes!
44:04Who was giving us the drama?
44:06Oh!
44:07Oh!
44:08Pontex is built to design for Brooklyn.
44:10Oh!
44:11As she modeled our looks on the runway,
44:13Zan decided to say that Brooklyn's struggled a bit with Mikaela's dress.
44:18We had some words, and then we kind of just like cut it off,
44:23and we moved on,
44:24but I feel like there is some things that have been left unsaid.
44:26That was like a nice way of putting it.
44:28Bitch, I cussed her out.
44:29I have never tried to make you feel fucking low,
44:33and this is the shit you pull?
44:35I'm so fucking done.
44:37I'm done.
44:38Fuck you.
44:40I definitely could have handled that a lot better.
44:43I have unconditional love for you, Mikaela.
44:46I do still feel a certain way.
44:48I love you down because you are that girl,
44:51but, like, right now, I don't know.
44:53A year from now, me and Zana are gonna be good girls.
44:56We're gonna be totally fine.
44:58I think I just need my space,
45:00and I'm happy that she's respecting that.
45:02Does anyone else have anything they want to air out?
45:04Oh, yeah, I do.
45:05Okay.
45:06Oh, I do.
45:07I motherfucking do, and I'm gonna give it.
45:09Here it goes.
45:10The way I left was not right.
45:12Minnie, I'm just, like, really hurt by you.
45:15The queen I have chosen to save is Mikaela Couture.
45:21Okay, don't forget that your ass would have gone home
45:23if I didn't win that lipstick.
45:24Yeah, I know.
45:25Like, no one took that consideration of thinking,
45:27okay, she's been doing well.
45:29I forgive, but I don't forget.
45:31Those decisions aren't easy to make.
45:32I know.
45:33I'm sorry that your feelings were hurt in that moment.
45:34It has nothing to do with you as a person,
45:36or even your talent.
45:38I have no doubt that you are a star,
45:40but we can only save one person.
45:42Can I just, like, add two cents to this?
45:44Like, as the resident bottom of season five,
45:46I got a lot of good critiques on that runway as well,
45:50but I don't feel any type of way of this.
45:53I should be upset because nobody saved the beaver on me.
45:57I never left the competition with any, like, sore feelings, really.
46:01Like, Pearl-A, you never saved me,
46:03but, like, I love you so much.
46:05I love you.
46:06I know that you didn't get to, you know,
46:09stick around as long as anybody would have liked,
46:12but it was really special to get to spend that time with you.
46:17I really got to see you someone that I recognize
46:18coming from a really small place and dreaming big dreams.
46:21I want you to just remember that, like,
46:23doing well on this show is great,
46:25but getting on this show is the mark of the talent,
46:27and it's the start of everything.
46:29Can I just address the elephant in the room?
46:31Oh.
46:35I look amazing.
46:39Thank you so much. I've had a great time.
46:41I need to hear everything about it,
46:43because, like, the details, we need to know.
46:45This specific design is the Every Child Matters,
46:48and I have the blessing of the artist, Andy Everson,
46:52to be able to wear this on the main stage.
46:55I just feel really honored to be able to recognize it
46:58as an indigenous trans person.
47:01This says to the world, this is me.
47:04Here I am standing in my power.
47:06Yes.
47:07Absolutely, Ms. Jaylene.
47:09I love you, Jaylene.
47:10That dress is so important.
47:12I'm so proud of her.
47:15There's still $10,000 off a dress.
47:17Ms. Congeniality!
47:18Whoa!
47:1912,4 out.
47:21So who wants Ms. Congeniality?
47:22I do. Can I have it?
47:24I wouldn't mind winning something sometime.
47:26I have all hands up once I get it.
47:30Well, just between us golden beavers, what do we think?
47:34Starting with the Virgo queen.
47:36Superstar.
47:37Superstar.
47:38She just has that it quality to me.
47:40I mean, that kind of confidence,
47:41it's just something you can't really fake as a performer,
47:43and she just feels like a professional.
47:45From the second she walked in the workroom,
47:47we were all kind of like, whoa.
47:49She is one of those people that comes around once in a lifetime,
47:53and I will be buying her single.
47:55I think she might be probably one of the most gifted lyricists
47:58we've ever had on this show, and performer.
48:00She's lip-synced four times in this competition,
48:02two times in the bottom, two times in the top,
48:04and she's slayed every single time.
48:07Let's talk about Helena Poison,
48:09our goth queen with a heart of gold.
48:12There's like two million drag queens in the world now,
48:15and sometimes what's missing is a point of view as an artist,
48:19and I think it's really cool when you find someone
48:21who has a unique point of view that feels authentic to who they are.
48:25Who also has a fantastic drag mug.
48:27Yeah.
48:28That bitch is stamped,
48:29and has given us some of the most iconic looks this season.
48:32I don't know if I see the same fire in her
48:34as I see in some of our other final four.
48:36I liked her performance, and I really liked her single,
48:39but in comparison, was it as dynamic?
48:43Was it as electrifying?
48:46Mini Wang.
48:48Our little Wang.
48:49So sweet to see how all the other queens have like really embraced her
48:52and been surprised by her,
48:53because they didn't think she was a threat at the beginning.
48:54No way.
48:55That's the best thing ever, to exceed people's expectations.
48:58Everything she brought out onto the runway,
49:00she was so confident in because it was so authentically her.
49:05I just think it's so great that she brought such a unique set of lyrics.
49:10I mean, no one could have written that but her.
49:12She had a beautiful runway as always,
49:15but based on the performance, this is the finale,
49:17it didn't really measure up compared to some of the other performances we saw tonight.
49:21Mikayla Couture.
49:22Mikayla has been such a bright light all season.
49:25She's had her share of highs and a few little lows,
49:28but she manages to just pivot beautifully and come back.
49:31And what a performer.
49:33Mm.
49:34Oh my God.
49:35Oh my goodness.
49:36A powerhouse performer.
49:37The dancing and the choreography,
49:39I mean, that was truly at a professional level.
49:42That was her all season long too.
49:44Like even when she was in the bottom and lip syncing,
49:46it was like anybody coming up against her to lip sync for their life was like,
49:50Oh no.
49:51Oh my God.
49:52She's had some great fashion moments too, don't you think?
49:55Tonight was the epitome of the house of couture.
49:58Are you buying a ticket to see your concert?
50:00A hundred percent I am.
50:02I think we've made our decisions.
50:05Bring back our final four.
50:08Welcome back queens.
50:10It's time to crown our Miss Congeniality.
50:13Hey.
50:14I'm sure you're all itching to find out.
50:17So to help me let the cat out of the bag,
50:19please welcome back season four's Miss Congeniality,
50:23Kitten Kabuto!
50:27Oh my God!
50:31Wow.
50:36Well, hi Kitten.
50:37Hi Brooke.
50:38You look fabulous.
50:40I look like everybody's favorite toilet roll cover.
50:44Now Kitten, what is the key to being congenial?
50:47Don't join any alliances and never let them hear what you say behind their back.
50:55Alright, the winner of season five's Miss Congeniality and $10,000 made possible by our partner,
51:01Gilead Sciences Canada, is...
51:08Jaylene Todd!
51:09Oh my God!
51:11Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
51:14Thank you so much.
51:16I'm fangirling right now.
51:18So good to meet you.
51:19Congratulations.
51:20Thank you so much.
51:21Is there anything you'd like to say?
51:22I just want to say thank you so much for this opportunity to be part of such a stellar cast of humans.
51:28It's really important to make sure we create these stages where people can feel free to express themselves.
51:34That's our power.
51:35And to have it from my sisters, it just makes it so much sweeter.
51:39Thank you so much.
51:40I love you all so much.
51:41Yes, Jaylene!
51:42Yay!
51:43Love you, my mom.
51:44And world peace.
51:49Queens, we have made some tough, tough decisions.
51:54You are all so incredible and so amazing.
51:58However, only two of you will be lip syncing for the crown.
52:02The Virgo Queen, Michaela Couture, you will face off for the title of Canada's next drag superstar.
52:20Oh my shit!
52:22Helena, we have tasted your poison and we don't want the antidote.
52:27Miss Wang, you have proved there is nothing mini about your talent.
52:32Thanks for bringing your drag to the maximum.
52:34I'm sorry, my dears, but your journeys end here.
52:37But just know that you are both true North Stars.
52:41Truly an amazing experience.
52:43Thank you all so much.
52:44Honestly, the opportunity has been something I'll always cherish.
52:49Thank you so much.
52:50And we'll always cherish it with you.
52:51Yay!
52:52Helena!
52:53The Virgo Queen, Michaela Couture.
53:05One of you will be crowned the winner of Canada's Drag Race.
53:09In addition to winning the title of Canada's next drag superstar,
53:13you will also walk away with a crown and scepter, courtesy of Amped Accessories.
53:18And from Trojan, the pleasure of $100,000.
53:24Two queens stand before us.
53:31Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare a lip sync performance of From This Moment On by Shania Twain.
53:39This is your last chance to impress us and prove that you are Canada's next drag superstar.
53:48The time has come for you to lip sync for the crown!
54:00Good luck!
54:01And don't fuck it up!
54:02Good luck!
54:03And don't fuck it up!
54:07More of you will love you.
54:08Come on!
54:09More music!
54:11From this moment, life has begun.
54:15From this moment...
