00:00Previously on Canada's Drag Race...
00:02You will be designing a look for moi
00:04that I will be modeling on the Bane stage.
00:07I'm really proud of what I did.
00:09I don't think anyone could take away this joy.
00:12Your wardrobe malfunctioned, literally malfunctioned on that runway.
00:15You had one of the only ones that she did fumble just slightly on it.
00:19I'm so fucking done! I'm done!
00:21Fuck you!
00:23I'm not tearing her down. I am just enlightening the fact that happened.
00:27Let me tell you something. I am Mikayla motherfucking Couture.
00:31I'm done with you. Done!
00:33Mini Wang, congratulations!
00:35The Virgo Queen, Shantae you stay.
00:38Xana, sashay away.
00:51We're all gagged at what just happened.
00:54That was a fucking lot.
00:57This is tense.
00:59Can I have a cigarette?
01:00I had so much fun antagonizing you.
01:03It was an honor.
01:05Season 5 sisters for life.
01:07Bye slurs!
01:09Xana, you did so well.
01:11She really antagonized all of us.
01:13I mean she really like came in unapologetically herself.
01:17And clearly she ticked off some people's nerves.
01:20But I do respect her for just being a bold bitch.
01:24You know?
01:25I'm sad.
01:26I loved her feisty energy.
01:28I never take it personally.
01:30Bye, Xana!
01:32Xana, do!
01:33I feel the most sad because she's leaving with this unfinished business with Mikayla.
01:39Peace and hair grease.
01:41Let's sit the fuck down.
01:43All right, divas.
01:47First of all, congratulations, Virgo!
01:50Yes!
01:51She's like, I'm gonna slay the dancing lip syncs.
01:53I'm gonna slay the ballad, sis.
01:55I bet you didn't know how to ballad in me.
01:57Exactly.
01:58That song started and you went, shall we go far east?
02:01Literally.
02:02I feel good.
02:03I think like being in the bottom the past two weeks has really like changed my perspective of things.
02:11I'm here to fucking show up every single day and I just wanna make sure like moving forward,
02:16I'm gonna put my best effort and like make sure that I'm in a top position.
02:22So, y'all better beware.
02:24Better watch out.
02:25Cause I'm ready for my third win.
02:27Oh!
02:28Ooh!
02:29Also, I feel like we need to give a big congratulations to my Putakana partner.
02:35I can't believe we're going together.
02:38Design challenge winner number two!
02:41But seriously, congratulations, Virgo.
02:43Yeah.
02:44Like you deserve that win.
02:45I guess I'm gonna just have to accept now that I am a designer.
02:48I am a seamstress.
02:49I am a sewer.
02:51I think like as the competition has gone on, my confidence has just grown.
02:55And I now, I know this sounds really dumb, but like I'm now starting to believe in myself more.
03:00Starting off my journey as a pit crew member to now top five on season five as a queen.
03:07Like that, like that doesn't compute.
03:12But I am just thrilled.
03:14I do want to check in with my sister Mikaela because we had a pretty severe moment in our untucked.
03:20You are a small, tiny ass human being.
03:23Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
03:24And that is exactly why you bring down everyone else in the room.
03:28First of all, I apologize to you guys cause you guys don't...
03:31Don't apologize.
03:32But regardless, y'all do not deserve to have to have witnessed that.
03:36That's great, but we don't apologize for your emotions.
03:39No.
03:40Not in a little bit.
03:41Don't apologize at all.
03:43I felt like I had never put down Xana.
03:46But somehow, Xana would always find a way to put down someone in the room.
03:52Literally, this has been a build up of like weeks upon weeks.
03:57I feel like I could have handled the situation with Xana a lot better.
04:00But I am human.
04:02I have feelings.
04:03I've informed Xana about how I felt, about the way she spoke to me.
04:08And she continued.
04:11And you know what?
04:13I love and respect her for everything she's done so far on this season.
04:16I honestly do not hate her.
04:19However, she is not my girl.
04:22People are entitled to their feelings.
04:25And what I had said after the blow up, it wasn't to like silence you or anything.
04:30I was just trying to say like, the fire can sometimes like you say things and then it just means that the door is shut.
04:37And sometimes you don't want to regret it and make things worse if there is ever the chance of like wanting to be friends.
04:46That's all.
04:47At the end of the day, I do have to watch this back and I do have to take ownership of what I said.
04:51Personally, I feel like what I said was absolutely fucking correct.
04:56So I feel no ways.
04:58I'm going to watch this back and smile, bitch.
05:00Oh, my God.
05:01You're going to crack the fuck up.
05:02It was so funny.
05:03Just you in this yellow wig.
05:05In the yellow outfit.
05:06Looking like a damn Oompa Loompa.
05:08I have Oompa Loompa.
05:09You stormed off in your ass just hanging out.
05:12Girl.
05:13All right, Miss Oompa Loompa.
05:15I think we should all get out of the truck.
05:20Let's go, girl.
05:21Going into the next week, I am feeling confident.
05:25Like, take a look at her track record.
05:27Look at the receipts.
05:29An Asian parent would be proud.
05:31I live.
05:32Minnie has two wins.
05:34Virgo has two wins.
05:35Michaela has one.
05:36I have one.
05:37Helena has none.
05:38Work.
05:39Get your pearl necklaces on, bitches.
05:41It's my time to get another win.
05:44Oh.
05:45The top six from the fucking six.
05:48The top five?
05:49Top five from the six.
05:50It was bad.
05:51It's okay.
05:52The winner of Canada's Drag Race receives the pleasure of $100,000,
05:58thanks to Trojan, with Tracy Melshore, Brad Gareski, and Brooklyn Heights.

18:02I'm sorry I didn't go with you, though.
18:04Oh, my God!
18:05That's fine. We also told you you had the least taste.
18:11Thank you so much for playing.
18:13Let's get to some viewer questions.
18:15People have been watching and loving you all.
18:18Oh, of course.
18:20So, Perla, hello.
18:22You've brought your love for fashion to every runway.
18:24Where does that come from?
18:25Honestly, I think it kind of comes from my grandma.
18:28She always taught me always get dressed up
18:31because you never know who's gonna knock at your door,
18:33and that has stuck in my head.
18:35That's sweet, but she never told you to put blush on, huh?
18:40Virgo, what was it like being in the competition
18:43with your drag daughter, Sangina?
18:45Oh, my goodness. Honestly,
18:48it was such a surreal experience
18:50to get to be on this platform with my drag daughter.
18:54Like, I'm so proud of everything she accomplished,
18:57and, of course, it's bittersweet.
19:00It's sad that she left.
19:01I wanted her here. I say it all the time.
19:03I'm like, oh, I wish Sangina was here for this,
19:05and, like, I feel guilty experiencing it without her,
19:07but she showed who she is,
19:09and I know that this is gonna benefit her so much in the future.
19:12Like, what a blessing.
19:13Minnie, you said you felt underestimated in this competition.
19:18Yeah.
19:19Which of your sisters made you feel that way the most?
19:24Honestly, I think it's that inner saboteur,
19:26it really is just all in my head,
19:28but I really am very proud of, like, where I've come.
19:32You should be. You're an icon.
19:33Absolutely. Thank you.
19:34Mikaela.
19:35Hi.
19:36Do you feel like you are in your drag mother Isis's shadow?
19:40I made a name for myself the second I started drag.
19:43We are two very different people,
19:46so we can shine in our own light.
19:48Love, love that.
19:49Amen.
19:50Helena, you are an incredible designer.
19:53Were you surprised to fall short of a win
19:55in both of this season's design challenges?
19:58I expected to be in the top for both design challenges,
20:01but I'm not surprised that Minnie beat me out
20:03for both of them.
20:04I'm not mad about it, either.
20:06I designed two beautiful garments.
20:08You did.
20:09Were they finished?
20:10Jury's out, but...
20:12If there's one thing I love about these drag queens,
20:15it's that they are willing to take risks,
20:18whether it be in a challenge or on the runway.
20:20It is now time to play Defend Your Drag.
20:25Ooh!
20:27You all have some splainin' to do.
20:29Oh, my God. That's so exciting.
20:30Mikaela, here is your moment.
20:32You know what, actually?
20:35This is not hard to defend.
20:37The body is giving.
20:39See that hip?
20:40The outfit might not be the best,
20:42but that color, it is everything.
20:44Thank you, Mikaela.
20:46Helena.
20:47Yes.
20:48You're up next.
20:49Oh, my God.
20:51You know what?
20:53I'm not gonna defend this.
20:54Look at her.
20:55What is that?
20:56I will defend bringing up Brooklyn's lace front eyebrows, though.
20:59Oh, my God.
21:01Minnie, here is your moment.
21:04Here we go.
21:06Oh, my God.
21:08Wouldn't you want to receive a showcase from this woman?
21:11No.
21:12No.
21:13Where's the lip gone?
21:14Where?
21:15You tell us.
21:16Virgo, here's your moment.
21:19What do we got?
21:20Oh, no.
21:22Not Miss Judge Lynn Toler, honey.
21:25Honestly, I looked the part.
21:26You look great.
21:27I looked the part down.
21:28The cross-eyed is getting you, right?
21:30Perla.
21:31Oh, I'm so ready.
21:32Here is your moment.
21:33I hope it's horrible.
21:34Oh, you know what?
21:37This was art.
21:39I'm quite pale, but that was the look.
21:42That was the look.
21:43I stand corrected.
21:45All your drag is untouchable.
21:47Stop art.
21:49You've all inspired fans around the world,
21:52and I want to keep the ball rolling with some more thought-provoking questions for the group.
21:56Mm-hmm.
21:57What advice would you give someone wanting to get into drag?
22:01I would say just do it.
22:03Just take the step of courage and just give it a try.
22:06Don't be afraid to be a mess.
22:09Makeup takes time.
22:10Hair takes time.
22:11But it'll come together.
22:12Charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent.
22:15Baby, that's all it takes.
22:16Yeah.
22:17You got a little sparkle, let it shine.
22:19What is the biggest misconception about drag queens?
22:22I would say that we're, like, all stupid.
22:25This is our last resort.
22:27Like, we didn't have a career.
22:29It's like, no, I chose to do this, and I'm so glad that I did.
22:32Yeah.
22:33That part.
22:34And that we're all doing it for a drink ticket.
22:37I'm here for a paycheck and maybe three Red Bulls, but, like, keep the drink ticket.
22:42Not everyone wants your shot as a tip, but we all want your money.
22:45That part.
22:46Yes.
22:47What would you say to someone who doesn't believe drag is appropriate for children?
22:51This is play.
22:53This is fun.
22:54What you see here is sparkle and bright colors.
22:57Me, as a kid, I would have loved some drag.
23:00I'd also add that, uh, not all drag is for children, but the same way that not all movies are for children, not all television shows are for children.
23:08There are drag artists who do drag to cater to children, and there are drag artists who do drag that caters to adults and nightlife.
23:15And I don't think that we should all be grouped together in one group.
23:18Thank you for your thoughtful answers.
23:20You've just proven that you have tact, but now it's time to see if you can act.
23:26I'm going to hand out some scripts that depict an iconic moment that went down in our very own workroom.
23:31Oh, snap.
23:35Take a scrap.
23:36Take this one.
23:39Let's do this one.
23:41Okay.
23:43Oh, shit.
23:44Everyone ready?
23:46Let's start.
23:47When they asked us this question of who should go home, everyone except me said Jada, and I would never say Jada.
23:53Who did you say?
23:55Me.
23:56I'm most pissed off at that.
23:57I'm not going to lie.
23:58That I said you?
24:00Yeah, because I talked to you and asked you about my look, and you were like, it's pretty.
24:04It looks really good.
24:05Don't worry about it.
24:07Bob, the first week you also told me that you thought I looked really good.
24:11And then when we were talking in Untucked, you told me that I should be in the bottom.
24:15So, like, this is, like, a common occurrence.
24:19You should have been straight up and been like, no.
24:23Wait one second.
24:24Hold on, Chaos.
24:26If I didn't want to see you do well, I wouldn't have given you that wig you're wearing right now.
24:31That's true.
24:32You're right.
24:33Second, when Fierce is freaking out, is she a fun person to be around?
24:38No.
24:39Well, I just want to say something, and it's really hurting me and fucking me all the way up.
24:44Because, Kimmy, I thought you and me was cute, okay?
24:48We know each other from a long fucking time, and you called my name on stage.
24:53If I were to compare the two outfits, this was, like, constructed, like, properly, like...
24:59The hot glue gun girls are fighting!
25:02Girl, that's not even funny.
25:04Sorry.
25:05Turn up.
25:06Turn up!
25:08And scene!
25:09That was really well done.
25:11That actually made up for Snatch Game.
25:13Oh.
25:14Thank God.
25:16Well, on that note, it's time to say goodbye.
25:21Aww.
25:22Aww.
25:23But first, we have a few special fans that want to give their love to you.
25:27Aww.
25:28Oh, my God.
25:29Surprise, Matt!
25:30Congratulations on making it this far in the competition.
25:34I am absolutely amazed with your talent and your imagination.
25:39I can't wait to see what comes next.
25:42I am so proud of you.
25:44I love you.
25:45Bring home that crown.
25:47Bye.
25:48Mom!
25:49That meant everything to me.
25:52Um, I'm here for myself, but a big part of me is here for my mom.
25:56When I wanted to give up auditioning for this show, because it was just getting too much,
26:00she said, I want the world to see how amazing you are and what I see.
26:05So, I have to do it for her.
26:07I want to be able to give that to her.
26:09And also, Mom, you did a really good job on your makeup.
26:12The mom stuff always makes me.
26:15Oh, my God, my baby!
26:18Hey, my honey bunches of gold.
26:20I miss you so much.
26:22Everybody here at home is cheering you on, and we're all so proud of you for making it this far.
26:26It's always been your dream to be doing this.
26:28And so we're all asking you to push yourself even further, all the way to the end.
26:32I love you, and I can't wait to have you back at home, babe.
26:35Oh, my God!
26:36I can't wait to be home, too!
26:39Michaela, what did it mean to you to see your partner?
26:42I really fought to fucking be here.
26:47And just to know that, like, he's still, you know, cheering me on.
26:51And then she's holding down the fort because the apartment looks clean.
26:56Oh, my God, my little white man.
27:00He always centers me.
27:02While I was looking at him, I could just hear, like, breeze, relax.
27:08You're living your dream, and yeah, I am. I am.
27:11Wei, Mini, it's me, your favorite brother, calling from Australia.
27:17I'm so excited to be able to send you this message,
27:20because it must mean that you haven't been juice boxed out of the competition as yet.
27:23We are so proud of you.
27:26But a word of warning to the remaining queens.
27:28You may have been giving this wang some cis competition.
27:31But she always comes first.
27:37Love you.
27:38It's just so typical him to be so quick-witted.
27:41He's also gay.
27:43We actually weren't close as siblings.
27:46It was only really until we came out to each other that we got a lot closer.
27:50Just to, like, hear how proud he is of me, like, I can't ask for more.
27:55Hey, P, it's me and Bubz cheering you on from home.
27:58Aww.
27:59We love you. We miss you so, so much.
28:02We know how far you've made in this competition.
28:04And you're so close to the end.
28:06Keep fighting. Keep pushing.
28:08Bring us home that crown.
28:09It just means so much to see his face again and just hear his voice.
28:14This is literally, like, the longest we've ever been apart since we started dating.
28:18If you would have told me three and a half years ago that I would find someone that I love so much, I would never have believed you.
28:26Never in a million years.
28:28I know he's my biggest cheerleader and I'm his.
28:32You know, I love him so much.
28:35Congratulations, Virgo queens.
28:37Oh, my gosh.
28:38Your big sis Jenna here.
28:40And your loving mother.
28:41We just wanted to say we miss you so much and we're so proud of you.
28:45You got this.
28:46You were born a star.
28:47Show these queens how you slay.
28:50One love.
28:52One love.
28:54Now you come from a long line of bad bitches.
28:56Oh, my God.
28:57I know.
28:58I'm finally the prettiest one.
29:00Virgo, what does that mean to you?
29:08Oh, shit.
29:09It means so much to me to see my mom and my sister proud of me.
29:18I know it has not been easy raising a child like me.
29:23And, like, just from where we come from, like, these types of things don't exist.
29:29Because, like, it's beyond words.
29:33To be here in this experience, to be so appreciated and so loved,
29:38it's, like, overwhelming.
29:40So I'm crying with, like, joy.
29:42And I'm crying with pride.
29:44And I'm crying with excitement.
29:46Thank you so much for that.
29:50Well, this has been...
29:52What Just Happened?
29:53I'm your host, Brad Goreski.
29:55Good night.
29:56Yeah, what just happened?
29:57Now we're all crying.
30:00What a messy ending.
30:05All right, y'all.
30:06This way.
30:07Keep it stepping.
30:08Keep it all walking, girl.
30:10It's elimination day, and that's the last time I'm gonna be saying that.
30:15Because this is the last elimination before our finale and the top four.
30:20Y'all aren't ready for this runway, honey.
30:23You better turn on.
30:24You better turn on.
30:25Yesterday was really fun.
30:28It meant everything to see my mom and my sister.
30:31You know, you can get caught up in the moment of being here and being sassy and being the only person to boost yourself up.
30:37So I felt like a moment of like, oh my God, it's okay.
30:41You know, like you've made them proud.
30:43And that's like the most important thing.
30:46I went back to the hotel.
30:47I fucking bawled my eyes out.
30:49Me too.
30:50It just, it all hit me, you know?
30:53Yeah.
30:54Moms really are like a fucking rock.
30:57Like, my mom is literally my biggest supporter, my biggest fan.
31:02And we've had rough patches and always came through.
31:07And she's always been really on my side to like follow my dreams and do what I love.
31:14My, my like big issues really came with like my dad.
31:18My dad is a fucking hard ass.
31:20He's a piece of shit.
31:22And, um, when I was 12, my dad was actually arrested for child abuse.
31:29Oh my God.
31:30Yeah.
31:31Um, I had a like restraining order against my father.
31:35Uh, we couldn't even like be in the same city together.
31:39And, uh, that was when my mom filed for divorce.
31:42Wow.
31:43And like, I have like memories of like my father pushing me down a flight of stairs.
31:47And my sister covering my mouth while I'm on the floor, crying my eyes out,
31:51but trying not to let my father hear that I'm crying.
31:55It's extremely hard for me to be vulnerable.
31:58I was never raised in an environment where my emotions were safe.
32:02I was always told to stop crying.
32:06And if you cried harder, you got hit harder.
32:09It was, it was really tough.
32:10That was a huge catalyst for me in actually getting sober because I was so afraid that I was turning into my father.
32:17Thank you for sharing Perla.
32:18Yeah.
32:19That's like, takes a lot of bravery, you know, to bring up something like that and to be so open.
32:24I totally can connect and relate to that.
32:27I know how it feels to be closed off and then to be judged when people don't understand why you are the way you are.
32:35I feel like my whole life has always been like a struggle to get something or get somewhere.
32:44And then something like just knocks me down.
32:47At the beginning of the pandemic, like I kind of was starting my career and I worked really, really hard to get, to get some gigs in the, in the village.
32:58Yeah.
32:59Yeah.
33:00And I was like drugged at one of the bars.
33:06What?
33:07Like it was like a group of people.
33:09They like brought me to this room that they rented in a condo or I don't know.
33:15And like, I just woke up and I like have just like visions of like, have like someone on top of me.
33:25And it's just really fucked me up because I was like, well, maybe drag isn't for me.
33:30Maybe I should just give up on that dream because, you know, it feels like the universe is just telling you like, no, like, and I blame myself so many times for drinking and making the wrong decisions.
33:41I try so hard to be like positive and to like love on people, but I've just been kicked down so many times.
33:50You're so strong.
33:51You're so strong.
33:52Virgo just come through it all and still persist.
33:55You had to take that as like a testament to also your strength.
33:57Yeah.
33:58Therapy.
33:59Therapy is also magical.
34:00So please go to therapy.
34:01Therapy is great.
34:02People are often misunderstood and people are often struggling.
34:10Everyone is going through something.
34:13Every single one of us.
34:14You guys are fucking phenomenal.
34:16Like truly growing up in the church, we did this thing where if you didn't get a hug from anyone that day, my aunt would tell us to just like squeeze yourself and remind yourself that like you are so loved.
34:28Should we all do that?
34:29Can we please?
34:30Can we all just squeeze ourselves right now?
34:33That's good.
34:34Remind yourself that like you are so loved.
34:36Please remember that you're a superstar and that like no matter what happens, we always got each other's backs.
34:42That part.
34:43Yeah.
34:44That's so beautiful.
34:45Okay, y'all.
34:46I think I finally figured out.
34:49This is a family.
34:51Yes!
34:52Yes!
34:53Yes!
34:54Oh my gosh!
34:56She's gorgeous!
34:58Yeah!
35:01That's so powerful.
35:02Yeah, that's so wonderful.
35:04That's so beautiful.
35:05I think the beauty is.
35:06The beauty of the beauty is my beauty is my beauty.
35:09That's my beauty is my beauty.
35:10That's so beautiful.
35:11It's my beauty, I'm gonna be my beauty.
35:12Oh my gosh, she's gorgeous!
35:15Oh my gosh!
35:16Oh my gosh!
35:17Yeah!
35:18Oh my gosh!
35:20Oh my gosh, she's gorgeous!
35:25Welcome to the main stage of Canada's Drag Race.
35:28He's editor and queef of whom magazine?
35:31It's Brad Goreski.
35:33Hey, Brooke.
35:34Hey, Bradley. Hearing a good tea lately?
35:36Oh, yeah. I heard Brooklyn Heights is a real bitch.
35:39Who said that?
35:41I never reveal my sources.
35:43And she's the queen of Canadian media.
35:46It's Tracy Belshore.
35:48Hi, Brooke.
35:49Hi, Tracy. How's your headline?
35:51No complaints.
35:52Me neither.
35:54And she's the talk of the town,
35:56the host of Bring Back by Girls.
35:58It's T.S. Madison!
35:59Hi, Brooklyn!
36:01What's the key to a riveting interview?
36:03A riveting interview has to go deep.
36:05You know I like to go real deep.
36:08How deep?
36:09Honey, you ain't heard?
36:1022 inches deep!
36:12Yeah!
36:14This week, our queens make their late-night debut
36:17on What Just Happened.
36:19Racers, start your engines.
36:21And may the best drag queen win!
36:24Commence.
36:25Shake.
36:26Down.
36:27Category is Statuesque.
36:30First up, Helena Poison.
36:32For the Statuesque Runway, I decided to take it very literally
36:38and become a statue of Medusa.
36:41Get these motherfucking snakes out of my motherfucking hair!
36:45Medusa turns people to stone with her gaze,
36:49so did she accidentally look in a mirror?
36:51Or did she do it on purpose?
36:54Either way, she's sad and stoned, just like me.
36:57Next, Perla.
37:00I'm wearing this beautiful Schiaparelli-inspired look.
37:03G-orgia.
37:05With a mixture of Chanel tweed and the classic Dior silhouette.
37:10I'm literally a giant bust of Rapunzel.
37:14Someday her prince will come.
37:16This is heavy as shit, and I look great.
37:19I'm serving locked in a tower.
37:21I'm serving mommy issues.
37:23Honey, I'd climb her tower.
37:26The Virgo queen.
37:28Yeah!
37:29I am the Virgo symbol Greek goddess.
37:33Athena.
37:34Head to toe dripped in gold, baby.
37:38I am pumping down this runway,
37:40giving a little bit of Brooklyn Heights.
37:42I got my toes on point,
37:44swishing my little cape around.
37:47Pose and smile.
37:49Pose and smile with your teeth.
37:51She's a lady in the streets
37:53and a Greek in the sheets.
37:55Mikaela Couture.
37:57Hyroglyphic!
38:00Tonight on this runway,
38:02I am wearing a Nefertiti-inspired look.
38:05I can see her Nefertiti's.
38:07We have beautiful, big-ass shoulders.
38:10And this hat, Miss Mama.
38:12There is no church lady around.
38:15You can say they have a hat like me.
38:17Can someone say amen?
38:18If you're good to mommy,
38:20mommy's good to you.
38:23And finally, Mini Wang.
38:25My inspiration is the giant prawn in Australia.
38:29It is an actual statue of a prawn.
38:32Oh, my God.
38:33It's literally shrimp on the Barbie.
38:35Literally.
38:36I'm giving you crustacean realness.
38:39This wig.
38:40Look at all of the stones on it.
38:42Look at the ombre.
38:43Look at the texture.
38:44It's delicious.
38:45So grab some Thousand Island sauce
38:47and dip away.
38:49From executive producer,
38:50Pranda Rhimes.
38:52Jesus Christ.
38:56Welcome, Queens.
38:57Hi.
38:58Hello.
38:59It's now time for the judges' critiques.
39:02First up, Helena Poison.
39:04Hello.
39:05I really enjoyed interviewing you.
39:08You were the perfect mix of shady, real, and just present.
39:14Your fierce-licious was hilarious.
39:17The hot glue gun girls are fighting!
39:20I thought you got so many good little zingers in there.
39:22You even managed to read me for my lace front eyebrows,
39:25which was a very, very dark period in my life
39:27that we don't talk about anymore.
39:29You gave it your all, and I saw a star.
39:32Now, your look, this is definitely a memorable moment.
39:37Honey, I'm sitting here hard as a rock right now,
39:39and you wouldn't even know it.
39:42This runway is sensational.
39:46I can't tell when the sleeve ends and your neck starts.
39:50Details like that also make me hard.
39:54From your makeup to the way you performed it,
39:56it is drag race excellence.
39:59You've always given us exactly who you are
40:03and what your drag style is, but different variations of it.
40:06And this, you saved the best for last.
40:09Thank you so much. That means a lot.
40:11Up next, Perla.
40:12Hi.
40:13Hello.
40:14Perla, you're known as the girlie with the gift for fashion,
40:18but you're also known as the girlie with the gift for chatting,
40:21which makes a great talk show guest.
40:24Editing is key, and you really edited yourself.
40:28I appreciated the fact that you kept your answers concise,
40:33but I did think that there were opportunities for you
40:36to go a little bit deeper and to, like, reveal a little bit more of yourself.
40:41I think you were almost there a few instances,
40:44but then you would try to cover it up with a joke,
40:46which I also understand, but allow yourself those moments, too,
40:50to, like, really let us in.
40:52You know, you gave me very soft, pussy-cut queen in the challenge,
40:56and I really enjoyed that.
40:58Now, this look, I leaned over to Brad.
41:00I said, honey, that's runway.
41:02It just blew me away.
41:04And I may not be a fashion mogul,
41:06because I'm a girl from the hood, honey,
41:07but, baby, this right here
41:10gave me everything that I needed.
41:13You look beautiful,
41:14and this look is very cool,
41:16but I did not understand it.
41:18You didn't like it?
41:20I liked it.
41:21I just didn't read statuesque.
41:22Okay.
41:23She doesn't look like a statue?
41:25No.
41:26Oh.
41:27She's a bust.
41:28You're a bust.
41:29Look at those.
41:30That's a bust.
41:31These are boobs.
41:33They're busting out.
41:38Next up, the Virgo queen.
41:40You were just a delight to be on set with.
41:44I loved your answer about the misconception of drag queens
41:48and that people think we do this because we have to.
41:50We do it because we love it and because it's our passion,
41:53and I thought that was such a beautiful, soulful thing
41:55for you to be able to say.
41:57There was also that heartfelt moment
41:59when you talked about Sangina.
42:01That felt real, which was really great to see.
42:04As a viewer at home,
42:05if you can pull on my heart string,
42:07honey, I don't remember any other thing that you said
42:10but how you made my heart feel.
42:12We have not seen you like this,
42:13and you absolutely give statuesque.
42:16You give goddess.
42:17You give supermodel.
42:19You were just so regal and elegant,
42:22and I feel the fire is just burning very bright right now.
42:26Thank you so much.
42:28Thank you, all judges.
42:31Up next, Michaela Couture.
42:33You were energized yesterday.
42:36Your energy was just palpable from the minute you came on.
42:40What I really appreciated about you was the fact that you were seated down in the corner,
42:47but you still managed to turn around and engage your sisters behind you.
42:52Let me talk about how proud I am of you, especially being a trans woman to occupy national television,
43:01and just to be present in your presence.
43:04I would have wanted just a little bit more.
43:06I think it's the trans in me that's like,
43:08oh, just...
43:10But, you know, I always want you in any position that you occupy
43:14to let it be known that, yes, I'm trans, I'm smart, I'm beautiful, I'm witty, and I am that girl.
43:21Now, this look, oh, honey, you took it to the motherland, girl.
43:25Yes, daughter of Isis, okay?
43:28This Nefertiti, the Egyptian queen of grace and beauty, and you personify that perfectly.
43:34As always, you give us a beautiful presentation on the runway.
43:37So, great job.
43:38Thank you so much, hon.
43:40Last but certainly not least, Minnie Wang.
43:43Hi.
43:44I really enjoyed you in the talk show.
43:46You were just authentic and raw and charming,
43:49and it was really nice to see you come into your power.
43:52There's this amazing humility about you.
43:56It was so lovely and so engaging.
43:58I thought that you were really funny,
44:00but I did feel in some instances that you were giving a kind of democratic answer,
44:05and that is a skill.
44:06Give a very high-road answer, but you also have to know
44:09sometimes you have to balance that by giving the straight truth.
44:13This look is sensational, and the reference is so fun,
44:17and so camp, and so Australian.
44:19I love the story about the giant statues in Australia.
44:23I really have to go on down under.
44:25Everything's bigger down under.
44:26Oh.
44:27Where's my ticket?
44:28After I was told that you were piku gone dull,
44:34I saw the way that you worked with all of the things
44:38that were stacked against you.
44:39Like, I love the way that you did the big hair.
44:41Yeah.
44:42Hiding the shoulders.
44:43Big earrings.
44:44Hiding the shoulders.
44:46You know, if you...
44:47No.
44:48And I'm not reading you.
44:50Big hips.
44:51Hiding the shoulders.
44:52Hiding the shoulders.
44:53Thank you, Queens.
44:56While you untuck in the work room,
44:59the judges will deliberate.
45:07Drinky drink. Look at that.
45:08I can pick it up.
45:09Getting to be critiqued by TS,
45:12who is drag race royalty.
45:14It's a crazy experience.
45:16She's an icon.
45:18Truly.
45:19To hear her say so many complimentary things
45:22about strengths, even about weaknesses,
45:25and how to, like, play off them both.
45:27That makes my heart sing.
45:29Nakela, how did it feel to have her
45:31sing your praises to your face?
45:33I feel like my critiques were really good.
45:36Obviously, they wanted more,
45:37which does kind of scare me a little bit
45:40because we were all so good.
45:42Like, they're splitting hairs.
45:43Yeah.
45:44This is such an even across-the-board challenge,
45:48and also the runways were so good.
45:50They were all, like, top-tier runways.
45:53At this point in time, I'm kind of on cloud nine.
45:57Like, I really am starting to feel the power
45:59of, like, what I've achieved.
46:02At this point in time in the competition,
46:04I've come too far.
46:05I don't want to go home, and I'm not gonna go home.
46:08Yesterday was, like, some of the most fun I've had.
46:11I feel like I was the most comfortable in myself
46:14I've been so far in this competition,
46:16and I'm so happy they loved this look.
46:18This is amazing.
46:20Did you make this?
46:21Yeah, it's all hand-painted, hand-sculpted.
46:25I feel on top of the world,
46:28and I'm realizing I could really take this thing.
46:31I think I probably have the weakest
46:35of the critiques out of everyone.
46:37I know in that challenge, I held back a lot.
46:41I definitely think that this might be
46:43my second lip-sync moment.
46:45Everyone loved the look, minus Brooke.
46:48She might not like this look, but I am obsessed with it.
46:52I feel regal. I feel beautiful.
46:55So I'm, like, I'm feeling nervous,
46:58like, that it really hurts to be put in this, like, mental place.
47:03I'm a little frustrated listening to Perla.
47:05She's doing what I was doing a few weeks ago,
47:08which is just hearing actual constructive criticism
47:12as negative.
47:14Brooke just said she didn't get statuesque from your look.
47:16She didn't say she didn't love it,
47:18because how could you not?
47:19You look like a fashion model.
47:21I think you might just be being hard on yourself.
47:22They did give you a lot of positive critiques.
47:24I think our conversation getting ready for the runway
47:29brought up a lot of feelings of insecurity in her again.
47:33Honestly, after hearing everyone's take on the critiques,
47:37I don't know who is going to be lip-syncing,
47:39but we all better learn the song or know the song.
47:42It's a five-way lip-sync.
47:44Everyone pick a square. Don't leave it.
47:46Yes!
47:47All right, just between us loons, what do we think?
47:51Let's start with Helena Poison.
47:53She really understood the assignment this week.
47:56She was sassy.
47:57She read the girls.
47:59And she got some beautiful, heartfelt moments in there as well.
48:03She's been, like, sitting in the rocket ship,
48:05just, like, waiting to take off.
48:07And tonight, she just went straight to the moon.
48:10Mm-hmm.
48:11Sitting in an ensemble cast,
48:13watching the girls all work together,
48:15and then looking for that one standout person,
48:18she did that for me.
48:19Baby, she is a fierce queen.
48:22And that runway, girl.
48:24Her runway look was so elevated,
48:26it was just an absolute chef's kiss for me.
48:29Let's talk about Perla, our little pocket rocket.
48:32She's been at the bottom.
48:33She's been in the top.
48:35She's won a challenge.
48:36So she's kind of been all over the place.
48:38I still don't know if I have a sense of who she is.
48:41In the talk show,
48:42I just needed her to go in a little bit more.
48:45When you're down to five,
48:47this is not the time to be shy.
48:48Right.
48:49This is time to bring the big guns.
48:51I liked her look from a fashion perspective,
48:54because I knew as soon as she walked out
48:56that it was Schiaparelli,
48:57it was all of those references she gave us.
48:59But it didn't give me statuesque.
49:02And compared to everything else on the runway that we saw,
49:05eh, it was lackluster.
49:08Let's talk the Virgo queen.
49:10You know, Virgo's coming off a tough couple of weeks,
49:13but she's turned it around.
49:15She's always kind of like looking like she's got a secret.
49:18She's kind of like, I know something you don't know.
49:20But the thing about it, she does.
49:22It's that it factor is that she knows she's got it all in her.
49:26She was funny, she was heartfelt,
49:29she was sweet, she was playful.
49:31She was so poised.
49:33I really liked the way that she sat there in the middle
49:36and said, I'm the star of this whole show.
49:38And this runway tonight, this golden goddess,
49:41like she really committed to this runway.
49:44What do we think about Ms. Makayla Couture?
49:47Here's the thing, Makayla is beautiful.
49:50Mm-hmm.
49:51She's witty, she's smart.
49:53I think she has surface level confidence,
49:55but I don't think that she has an understanding
49:57of her presence yet.
49:58We see it for her, but she needs to believe it.
50:01Sometimes when people feel like they have so much to live up to,
50:05they're too busy trying to get to that point
50:08instead of living in the moment.
50:09Yeah, but her runway?
50:12Oh, I bow to the queen.
50:14Yeah.
50:15She came out, she ate that up.
50:17Next up, Minnie Wang.
50:20Is it really Minnie?
50:22Minnie's not coming to play, you know?
50:25She's like this quiet, fabulous storm that's just brewing.
50:29It's interesting that she is not a working queen,
50:31so this is not how she makes her money.
50:32There's just like, she's literally here for the art.
50:35Right, right, right.
50:36I think it's kind of served her
50:38to not be deep into the drag world, you know?
50:42She's such a smart queen in so many ways
50:46that we've seen so many different sides of her drag,
50:50but there's still always this core authenticity
50:54of who she is.
50:56All right, I think we've made our decision.
50:58Bring back our girls.
51:01Hold up, honey.
51:02That's my line.
51:03Bring back our girls.
51:06Welcome back, queens.
51:09Based on your performance in the challenge
51:11and your runway presentations,
51:12we have made some decisions.
51:14The Virgo queen, your goddess look was heavenly,
51:18and in the talk show, you really did yourself justice.
51:23Helena Poison, in the challenge you served talking head,
51:28and on the runway, you were stone cold stunning.
51:33Helena Poison, congratulations.
51:36You are the winner of this week's maxi challenge.
51:39Oh, finally.
51:40I got a win, but I've also secured my spot in the final four.
51:46Feels correct.
51:48It feels very correct.
51:49You have won.
51:51Actually, to tell you what you've won.
51:55Oh, my God.
51:57Oh, wow.
51:59Jimbo.
52:00Hey, everybody.
52:01Oh, wow.
52:03Jimbo?
52:04Ooh.
52:04What the fuck is Jimbo doing here?
52:07I'm late for work.
52:09You've won a cash prize of $5,000.
52:14Oh, my God.
52:16Sponsored by House of Jimbo.
52:18And, of course, my golden boobies.
52:20I was going to say golden boobies.
52:22Yay.
52:23They're priceless.
52:25Oh, wow.
52:26I have $5,000 and a box of titties from Jimbo.
52:30You're rich now.
52:31Yay.
52:33You look gorgeous, Jimbo.
52:35Oh, so do you.
52:36We could be twins.
52:37We could be.
52:38You want to try on this crown?
52:42Thank you, Jimbo.
52:43Jimbo, we are so proud of you.
52:46Thank you so much for eliminating me.
52:48Any time.
52:50Speaking of which, sashay away.
52:52Why?
52:56All right.
52:56I guess I'll go.
52:57Bye.
52:58Bye.
52:59I love you.
53:02I'm a winner, baby.
53:03Yay.
53:04Yay.
53:06See you later.
53:08Congrats, Helena.
53:10You may move to the back of the stage.
53:11Thank you all so much.
53:15Take my bin of money and titties.
53:20Virgo queen, you are safe.
53:24Congrats, babe.
53:29Minnie Wang, you are safe.
53:34That means Perla, Michaela Couture, you are both up for elimination.
53:43Two queens stand before us.
53:46Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare a lip sync performance of Desperate Measures by Marianna's Trench.
53:54This is your last chance to impress us and save yourself from elimination.
54:01The time has come for you to lip sync for your life.
54:09Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
54:20Gonna make a heartthrob out of me, just a bit of minor surgery, these desperate times call for desperate measures.
54:31Have a piece of American dream open up and swallow on your knees and say thank you.
54:44I'd like some desperate measures, please.
54:46For a first effort, this feels kind of last ditch.
54:54I get this gasp
54:55You got kind of drastic
54:57Trust us, you just fell off the bus, suckers
55:02Yeah, well, payback is a motherfucker
55:05Oh, oh, I-uh-oh
55:08I-uh-oh

55:28Kiss me just once, like these are desperate measures now
55:33I can't let this, I can't let this go forever
55:37For worse or better, my poor heart will only surrender
55:43Go forever, for worse or better, my poor heart will only surrender now
55:53I can't let this, I can't let this go when I got you right
56:08Where I want you, I've been pushing for this for so long
56:14Kiss me just once, like these are desperate measures now
56:19I can't let this, I can't let this go when I got you right
56:23Where I want you, I've been pushing for this for so long
56:29Kiss me just once, like these are desperate measures now

56:39Yeah!
56:40It worked!
56:44It worked!
56:47Queens, we have made our decision.
56:49Mikaela Couture, shantay you say
56:57Thank you!
56:59You may join the others
57:09Perla, the world is your oyster and we can't wait to see how you make it shine

57:27Now why be a diamond when you can be a motherfucking pearl
57:32Top five bitch, I fucking made it all the way to top five
57:45I may have doubted myself at some points, I may have gotten in my head, but I'm so fucking proud of myself
57:52This was just such an amazing experience
57:55And now I'm going to go through everyone's alcove and cut up their wigs
57:59Bye
58:01Our fierce final four
58:07Condragulations, you live to slay another day
58:11Another day, the world has never needed the magic of drag more
