00:08My name is Priyanka. What's my name? Do you love me? I can't believe I'm here!
00:16My name is Priyanka. I've only been doing drag for two years, but you wouldn't know
00:20that because I'm an icon. If you came to the Priyanka show, you would see good hair, a
00:25really shiny costume, a lot of dancing, and I'd probably end up making out with you.
00:29I think that sounds like a good time, doesn't it? I'm the first ever queen to walk on Canada's
00:33Drag Race. This is so crazy. Before I started drag, I was a kid's television host. But now,
00:39being a drag queen, I'm finally being like the real me. I didn't even see the maple leaf.
00:45Canada's about to bring it out. Thank y'all already. All right, next queen. Bring her in.
00:50All right, party girls. We're just about to walk into the workroom for the first time,
00:53and I'm going to let these pores have it. Thanks for tuning in. Bye.
00:58I'm Alona Verli, and I'm a bitch. I'm from Vancouver, BC. I'm known for having a very
01:05sickening Instagram. My drag is always ostrich feathers, rhinestones,
01:08has to be monochromatic, and just sickening, iconic.
01:12Hello. Hi. How are you? Oh, first two. How was your name? Alona.
01:17Alona. Do you have a big following on Instagram? I have a pretty big following.
01:20Okay, work. And it's all real. Are you calling mine fake?
01:23I mean, I know a lot of girls in Toronto buy their followers, but...
01:26I would say that at least half of yours are real. What?
01:30I'm just being a bitch. That's what I'm good at.
01:36Oh!
01:37In French, please.
01:40I'm Kiara. I'm 21. I'm from Montreal. I'm pretty, and I'm versatile.
01:47The full Kiara experience is hair flips, somersaults, dips, whatever you want, I put on a show.
01:53Hi, girls. Hi. I've been doing drag for only two years, but people are calling me Montreal's next rising star,
01:59so I guess I'll take it. Mwah. Mwah. Mwah. So French.
02:02My main weakness as a queen is that I...
02:08Um...
02:11Oh, shit. I'm flawless. Sorry.
02:19Mmm. You like that?
02:22I like that.
02:23My name is Juice Box. I'm 31, from Essex, Ontario. Live in Toronto.
02:30Mmm.
02:32I'm very sensual. I love to whip my hair around.
02:35I want the other queens to look at me and think like, oh my god, she's so f***ing hot.
02:40And stuck.
02:44Help.
02:47I don't want to rip my tights.
02:50And stuck.
02:54Got it.
02:56Iconic.
02:57Do you want a redo?
02:58Can I do it again?
02:59Take two.
03:03If you don't know my name, just call me mother.
03:10I am Anastasia Anakwe, and I represent the Pageant Queens.
03:15Everything I wear, I make myself, and everything will fit to a tee.
03:21Hi, Pageant Queen.
03:23I spent the last 17 years competing around the world.
03:27I've collected so many titles.
03:28Miss South Bahamas, Miss Caribbean International, Miss Gay Toronto, Miss Canada International,
03:33and of course, Miss Black Continental, which I am the reigning.
03:36Why do you need Drag Race then? Get out of here. Get out of here.
03:39Everyone knows Starzy is a star.
03:52Pucker up, mother.
03:55I'm Lemon, just like the citrus fruit.
04:01I'm from Toronto, but I live in New York City, and I'm gorgeous, hilarious, and sour as hell.
04:06I'm a dancer. It was my love for dance that ended up bringing me to New York City.
04:11I got into a school there.
04:12And then after that, I found Drag and kind of was like,
04:14oh, this is what I'm meant to be doing.
04:16Oh, she's giving you those real legs.
04:18I have walked New York Fashion Week.
04:20I have competed in every single drag competition in New York City,
04:23and I've won all of them.
04:25So, yeah, bitch works hard.
04:26Oh, my God. Hi, bitches.
04:28I love your duvet.
04:30Just my couch.
04:32I know I'm one of the best dancers that Drag Race has ever seen.
04:35There we go. She made it.
04:36All the way from New York.
04:37So, I'm about to make these girls feel real bitter.
04:43You didn't think you could bring the race to Canada without Scarlet Bobo, did you?
04:48My name is Scarlet Bobo, and I'm your favorite circus freak.
04:54Yes!
04:55I've been doing drag for 12 years.
04:57I'm like a hippie, wild child, punk rock star, wrapped up into one.
05:01Bo.
05:04Bobo!
05:06And, of course, it's Bobo.
05:08She's weird as hell.
05:11But one of Toronto's headline entertainers.
05:15And you're Toronto, right?
05:16Yeah.
05:17The drag scene in Toronto is insanely competitive.
05:19There's 20 new drag queens that pop up a week, fighting each other and clawing for that gig.
05:24Toronto has the best drag in the world.
05:27We work harder than, like, even New York queens.
05:28No.
05:29Oh!
05:30Okay, whatever.
05:36Attention fives, a ten has just arrived.
05:41My name's Kyne.
05:42I'm 21 years old, from Kitchener, Ontario.
05:45When you come to a Kyne show, you are gonna get goddess.
05:47I sing, I act, I dance.
05:50They don't call me the dancing diva of the Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Tri-City area for nothing.
05:56Lots of people know me for my YouTube channel.
05:59Over 100,000 subscribers.
06:00I show people how to make wigs, how to sew costumes.
06:04I am the queen of social media.
06:06I learned styling my wigs by your videos.
06:08Really?
06:08Yeah, I did.
06:09I've taught 100,000 people how to do drag in my videos, and I'm here to teach 11 more.
06:18What?
06:19What the?
06:23I am not, like, utter queens.
06:29My name is Boa, the bitch on arrival, originally from Windsor, 24 years old, and I am what?
06:34Constipated.
06:36I am floored to see Boa.
06:39Boa has a bad rep in Toronto.
06:41She's messy, and she's a little annoying, but she's super funny.
06:47Splits.
06:48High kicks.
06:49Death drops.
06:50Jumps.
06:51I do none of it.
06:54Oh!
06:54Oh!
06:55Oh!
06:56How did you get past security?
06:58Oh, yeah!
06:59The queens of this competition are going to doubt me.
07:01They're going to underestimate me.
07:02And that is okay, bitch, because that is how I'm going to snatch the crown.
07:06Let's start the milking!
07:15Bonjour, hi!
07:16Say hello to the queen of Montreal.
07:18Bonjour, je suis Rita Baga, 32 ans, et je suis la queen supreme de Montréal.
07:23And embrace!
07:25So embrace this thick accent.
07:28Hello!
07:31Rita is a big deal in Montreal.
07:33She's a house queen, she's fierce, she always have gorgeous looks.
07:36She gave me my first gig in Montreal yesterday.
07:39Thank you, they all know I'm old now, thank you.
07:42I've been doing drag for the past 13 years.
07:45I've been voted four times best drag of Montreal.
07:47My name's Kind.
07:48Kind?
07:49Yes, Kind.
07:50Kind.
07:51Yes, Kind.
07:51Wee.
07:52Wee.
07:52Wee.
07:53Kind.
07:53Wee.
07:54I'll get it.
07:54The new generation, they do call me a legend sometimes and I'm always like,
07:58I'm not that old bitch.
08:00Well, I'm glad you guys don't only speak French.
08:02Because that would have been scary.
08:04Because all I can say is,
08:05Eska, Jeppe, Elia, Toilet.
08:07But do you want to go now?
08:08To the toilet?
08:09Yeah, was that a real request?
08:10Not right now.
08:11Okay.
08:13Oh, wow.
08:16Oh my god.
08:21What?
08:22What's happening right now?
08:24Okay.
08:25My name is Jimbo.
08:26I am 37 years old and I am a run of the mill guy.
08:31I'm going to spin in a circle.
08:34At a Jimbo show, many people come just to see what costume I've made or what weird idea
08:39I have or what I'm going to be pulling out of where.
08:41I have a reputation for being a strange and amazing show.
08:44You look fierce, girl.
08:46I wouldn't say I have a signature.
08:47My signature is that I do what I want when I want to do it.
08:50I want to hire you for my birthday party.
08:51You can.
08:52Can you do magic tricks?
08:53I can make my dick disappear.
09:00Serving body.
09:01Giving face.
09:02Watch out Canada.
09:03I'm here to win this race.
09:07I'm Ty Nomi Banks from Toronto, Ontario.
09:11If Tyra Banks and Nami Campbell had a little love child, that would be me.
09:15I could be soft.
09:16Oh, fuck you.
09:18Or ready to give this neck an attitude all the time.
09:24All the time.
09:29Ty Nomi is here and I was fully a backup dancer for her when I was 18.
09:33I'm so gagged that she is here.
09:37Legend.
09:39Who are you doing?
09:39Look at you.
09:40Give me a twirl, bitch.
09:40I am floored seeing Ty Nomi walk in the wardrobe.
09:42This competition just turned up.
09:46This is it.
09:46This is off.
09:47I'm not the last one to pop through.
09:50Like, they saved the best for last.
09:54Last one in, first one out, bitch.
09:56So, um, who's ready?
09:58I'm ready.
09:58I'm ready.
10:03I'm ready.
10:04I'm ready.
10:05Everything's starting.
10:06I'm well done.
10:08She didn't already then had hers.
10:11My Canadian queens.
10:15Welcome to the family.
10:17After many years of dreaming, it's official.
10:20We are looking for Canada's first drag superstar.
10:24Now, I have one thing to say.
10:26It's about time, eh?
10:30It feels insane to actually hear her voice addressing us.
10:33So spread your charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent across the great white north
10:38for the whole wide world to see.
10:40Give it your best shot, ladies.
10:42And whatever you do, don't get up.
10:46Woo-hoo!
10:51Bonjour, bonjour, bonjour!
10:55Oh my god!
10:58My god!
10:59Thank you so much!
11:00Oh my god!
11:06The judges walk in and I am so gagged.
11:09Stacey is stunning.
11:11It's crazy to see her in person.
11:13Brooklyn is the queen of the north.
11:16Jeffrey?
11:17You're so hot.
11:18Oh my gosh, his skin is like caramel.
11:21Wow.
11:22Ew.
11:23Wagwan, darling!
11:25Yeah!
11:26Hey!
11:27You all look incredible.
11:29So do you.
11:30We are so thrilled to be your judges and mentors for the season.
11:34You are all now officially in a relationship with a thruple.
11:40That's right.
11:41Each week, all three of us will decide who stays and who sashays away.
11:47Take it from moi.
11:48Drag race is like a long, hard, relentless prairie winter.
11:56But I can promise you, it's going to be worth it.
11:59Ooh!
12:00Because in the end, the winner of Canada's drag race will be crowned Canada's first drag superstar.
12:07Yay!
12:09And prance away with a year's worth of hotel stays from our friends at Hilton.

13:17Alona Verley, welcome to the stunningly realistic Rocky Mountains.
13:23Oh, my gosh.
13:24Say hello to our photographer, Matt Barnes.
13:27Hello, Matt Barnes.
13:28Hi, how are you?
13:29He shot everyone from Orville Peck, Ariana Grande, and our own Brooklyn Heights.
13:34So, you got some big shoes to fill.
13:36Literally.
13:37I'm a size six.
13:39No, she's not.
13:40Well, let's get down to business.
13:42To celebrate Drag Race coming to our and native land,
13:45you will have five minutes to scale this Canadian Rocky Mountain
13:49and plant your flag at its snowy peak.
13:52Going to walk up it in heels.
13:54Oh, it's sickening.
13:55The queen with the coolest shot wins.
13:58Work, okay.
13:59But be careful.
14:00We hear there's a cold snap moving in.
14:04Are you ready, Alona?
14:05Yeah.
14:06Go.
14:08Oh, my God.
14:09I already lost a nail.
14:10Listen, I'm used to social climbing,
14:12by climbing a literal mountain in heels while holding a flick.
14:17Oh, oh, oh.
14:18Get me taking this off.
14:19That's really hot.
14:20The abominable snow queen is stripping.
14:23Bye, bitch.
14:25I was trying to be like, oh, like, sexy girl.
14:27Oh, Marilyn Monroe.
14:28You know, I do love a built-in glory hole.
14:32Oh, no, no, no, no.
14:34Oh, my gosh.
14:35There's a big fan.
14:36Oh, oh, jeez.
14:37Take, take it.
14:42Oh, no, no, no.
14:46Honey, yes.
14:49That was so traumatic.
14:51I will do anything for a good start.
14:54Oh, there you go.
14:56Priyanka.
14:59Yeah, that's nice.
15:00I'm up there on the mountain feeling my oats.
15:03Then.
15:05What?
15:07What do you mean?
15:08No.
15:10I lost no ball.
15:12Focus, girl.
15:13Focus.
15:15Oh, nice.
15:17Is that called a smize?
15:19Come on down, Priyanka.
15:21Scarlet Bobo.
15:22Oh, my God.
15:22This is gag worthy.
15:25Oh, my God.
15:26Oh.
15:29Oh, my God.
15:30I think I've seen this porn.
15:33Sid Vicious, White Christmas.
15:35I just took a load.
15:37Oh, my God.
15:40Rita Bega.
15:41Okay.
15:48Her tuck is separatist.
15:52Hello, Kiara.
15:57Oh, the fourth cast is fierce blizzard.
16:00Huh?
16:01Pop it like it's cold, honey.
16:03And she does.
16:06Anastasia and not quite.
16:08Oh, there she blows.
16:12Oh, it's in my throat.
16:13It's in my nose.
16:14Oh, oh.
16:17I know.
16:18That's what I call an Okanagan trail.
16:20Ty Nomi Banks.
16:21I see some booty.
16:24Yeah, work that whole space.
16:26Dancehall queen in a blizzard scene.
16:30Oh, my God.
16:32Bitch on arrival, Miss Boa.
16:35Is she getting ready to charge?
16:38Ow.
16:38Ah.
16:40She's really milking it.
16:42First prize in the country fair.
16:45Lemon.
16:46Oh, oh, yeah.
16:47Oh, the Rocky Mountains.
16:51I'm trying to serve this high glamour, like, oh, like, I'm climbing a mountain.
16:54And I'm beautiful, but my eyelashes are like this, and my whole head is like this, and I just feel
16:59a little bit like, ah.
17:03Oh, I can see her lemon tart.
17:08Ready for my close-up?
17:10That's great.
17:12I'm thinking it's just a simple photo shoot.
17:14Puppies?
17:15I adore puppies.
17:16And then blizzard hits.
17:22Hold on to your hat, honey.
17:24I'm just trying to stay fierce and find my light.
17:27Woo!
17:28Nice.
17:29Nice or naughty?
17:31Juice box.
17:32I'm trying to be dainty and graceful, and I'm trying to serve you like, yeah, I'm gorgeous.
17:36This angel's about to take flight.
17:38So I feel really good.
17:39So graceful.
17:41Bye.
17:42Oh, I, ah.
17:44Of course I fall.
17:46Are my wings still on?
17:49Jimbo.
17:50Wow, a big slide.
17:52Welcome to the Rocky Mountains.
17:54I don't like the cold.
17:55I'm from Victoria, and we don't have snow, and I'm terrified.
17:57What is all this white stuff all around me?
17:59Oh, this is actually quite nice.
18:02I thought this was going to be hard.
18:05Oh, wow.
18:05I love the snow.
18:07Oh, yeah.
18:09Oh, yeah.
18:09Oh, yeah.
18:26Wow.
18:27Oh, oh, oh.
18:28Now that was a blowjob.
18:32Can someone help me take this off?
18:36Yeah, that feels so good.
18:39Look at you guys.
18:41Who the hell are you?
18:42So everyone's de-dragging.
18:44I'm looking around for cute boys, and clearly nobody is cuter than me.
18:49I'm surprised they didn't ask me to be on the pit crew.
18:52I want to know what Jimbo looks like.
18:54Me too.
18:54I don't even know.
18:56What am I going to look like?
18:58All of us are like.
19:00There could have been anybody under there.
19:02My mom could have been under there.
19:07Oh, my God.
19:08What do we get?
19:10A daddy.
19:11Hi, Jimbo.
19:13Hey.
19:13You want some boyonka?
19:15So gross.
19:19Wow, that expedition really changed y'all, huh?
19:24But one of you peaked at just the right time.
19:28The winner of today's mini challenge is...
19:33Kain.
19:34Yay!
19:37Congratulations.
19:39What do I win?
19:39You've won $1,000 of latex couture from Polymorph.
19:44Whoa.
19:45I won the first mini challenge on Canada's Drag Race.
19:48Woo!
19:49These bitches better remember.
19:52Ladies, I hope you're all thawed out with your claws out.
19:56Because this race is about to get real.
19:59I've always wanted to say this.
20:02Oh, pit crew.
20:04Oh, my God.
20:05Uh-uh.
20:06Yes.
20:07Come over here.
20:08Oh, my God.
20:09Oh, my God.
20:11Oh, my God.
20:12Oh, my God.
20:12The pit crew's coming in, and the hormones are coming in, too, honey.
20:17Oh, I feel so hot.
20:18Oh, yummy.
20:20Ay, ay, ay, ay.
20:21For this week's maxi challenge, you need to design and create a high fashion look for the runway
20:27using these boxes stuffed with items that scream, oh, Canada.
20:31And no Canuck couture would be complete without some classic Canadian fabrics and accessories
20:38provided by our friends at Roots.
20:40Yeah!
20:42Kyne, because you conquered the mini challenge, you get to choose your own box and assign
20:47the other presents to your sisters.
20:49Be nice to us.
20:50Don't make enemies day one.
20:51So, Kyne, what box are you going to choose for yourself?
20:54I'm not saying I'm a gold digger, but I'm going to take the Yukon gold digger.
20:58I don't know what material is in these boxes, but this box is just screaming my name.
21:03We have Lemon.
21:04What gift are you bestowing on her?
21:05I sort of hear whispers of what people want, and then I just give them something else.
21:10You are going to get jock scraps.
21:12I'm a professional dancer.
21:13I have no idea what sports are, but let's play the law.
21:18All right, up next, we have Alona Burley.
21:20Muskoka.
21:23Next, Rita Baga.
21:25Québécois.
21:26What present would you like to give to Jimbo here?
21:30Rain, blow it up.
21:32Priyanka.
21:33Gone fishy.
21:35Up next, Boa.
21:37No other choice other than Man of Green Gables.
21:41Kiara.
21:43Like a fairy.
21:46Tainomi Banks.
21:47Lumberjanes.
21:50Anastasia Anakwe.
21:52Canada Gay.
21:54Scarlet Bobo.
21:56Glampy.
21:58She does like to ride a cowboy.
22:00And last but not least, Juicy Box.
22:04Much Ruzic Video Prance.
22:06I like that.
22:07I'm into that.
22:08Ladies, you'll be judged on how well you express your personal drag style.
22:13And tomorrow, you'll debut your Elaganza extravaganza on the main stage.
22:20Where we'll be joined by this week's extra special guest host, Alisha Cutsburg.
22:28Gentlemen, start your engines and may the best woman win.
22:33What the fuck is this?
22:36Oh my god.
22:37Look at all this.
22:38Woo!
22:39For this maxi challenge, we have to create high fashion looks, incorporating Roots products
22:44from our O Canada boxes.
22:46I just want to wear this.
22:47Oh my god, look at all my Roots bandanas.
22:49Oh, zipper, zipper, zipper.
22:52Amazing.
22:53You got crabs?
22:54You got crabs?
22:55I don't know how crabs.
22:57Well, it's one time.
22:58Yeah.
22:59So I get this box, I'm rumbling through, taking everything out, and then the magical fabric.
23:07Oh, life!
23:09And then this Roots ribbing.
23:11Whatever it is I make, it's going to be fabulous.
23:13I'm good, baby.
23:16Oh my god.
23:17I am assigned the Man of Green Gables box.
23:21Girl, I don't know anything about Anne of Green Gables.
23:24I don't know her.
23:24I never met her.
23:26Potatoes.
23:27I got potatoes.
23:28There are potatoes.
23:30What am I going to do with potatoes?
23:34A hockey stick?
23:36So my box is jock scraps.
23:38Tennis balls, badminton things, and sports equipment that I don't know the names of.
23:43So many of whatever these are.
23:45Spaghetti straps.
23:46No, but what are they in life?
23:49Is anyone athletic?
23:50No.
23:51No one here is.
23:52Have you ever played a sport?
23:54I played European handball.
23:56So no, you've never played a sport?
23:58Yeah, that doesn't count.
24:02I'm getting ideas, everyone.
24:03I'll probably have these sides like this.
24:05That's a muumuu.
24:07No, no, no.
24:08Bitch, relax.
24:09I've got plenty of things from my hometown.
24:13I get assigned the Quebec Froid box.
24:15It's a dream.
24:16Thank you, kind.
24:17It's full of mittens, blankets, and stuff that looks like a Quebec flag.
24:22I can see all the things that I like from my hometown.
24:25Oh my god, bitch, can I have those, please?
24:27Feed me.
24:29I'm really happy to see these cheese skirts, baby.
24:32She's been eating it for years.
24:34Sorry, I just ate my costume.
24:38Oh, what's this?
24:38This looks fierce.
24:39Oh, feathers.
24:40Very, very my culture.
24:42Okay, I feel like I literally just jumped in a bush with this box.
24:44Okay, this red leather is actually a moment.
24:46It's also kind of my culture.
24:47You're First Nations.
24:49Yeah, from the rest, girl.
24:51What tribe?
24:51Um, Shkepa.
24:53As an indigenous person, I think it's very important that I'm representing all of my
24:56Inklakatma people and my tribe, Shkepa.
24:59Growing up, I was so in this mindset of like, you are male.
25:01You have to be male.
25:02And as I grew up and got more involved in my own culture, I learned about being queer
25:06and being two-spirit, which means finding yourself in between the male and the female
25:10energy, but acknowledging both of them.
25:12This is like how I grew up.
25:13I grew up in a small farming town with hunters.
25:16It's really important to me that I talk about being two-spirit and I talk about being indigenous
25:20and be proud of who I am and hopefully be able to inspire others to just be themselves.
25:24Okay, this is not my color scheme, but we're going to make it happen.
25:27Oh my God.
25:28What is this?
25:29Kyn assigns me much ruzic video prance.
25:33I've got tapes.
25:34I've got CDs.
25:35I have scrunchies.
25:37Oh, I have hundreds of these.
25:39So I'm just kind of like, now what do I do?
25:42So do you sew?
25:43I can put two pieces of fabric together so I can make it work.
25:47Sewing's not my strong suit, but I'm going to make the best out of it and I'm going to
25:50figure it out.
25:51How do you break these?
25:52Is it dangerous?
25:54Can you cut CDs?
25:55Yes.
25:56I just start chopping away at these CDs.
25:58I'm going to give you this like mirror.
26:00Oh, love that.
26:00Like, right?
26:01I want to give you that sexy juice box feel.
26:03So I just want to be able to find something that's going to show that off in a good way.
26:07I'm literally just going to like cut these for hours.
26:10Wow.
26:11Look at all your gold.
26:12I know.
26:13Oh, wow.
26:14I went for the Yukon gold digger box ornament.
26:18I'm thinking I can do disco diva fantasy.
26:21I design and sew pretty much all of my looks.
26:23They all come out of this head.
26:25Are you a sewer?
26:26Yeah.
26:26I sell lots of my costumes.
26:28And so I think that should intimidate the other queens.
26:30Does everybody like the choices that I picked out for them?
26:32I hate you.
26:34I hate you.
26:35I didn't want to have to be the one to choose the boxes, but I can't help but win.
26:39I can't help it.
26:41Kyne is starting to hit a nerve.
26:44What's going on over here?
26:45A lot of hangar chest, bitch.
26:48Do you sew?
26:48Nope.
26:49No.
26:50It was nice getting to know you.
26:52Damn.
26:53I'll leave you to it, kiddo.
27:04We're back.
27:05Oh, girl.
27:06It's the first elimination day and we have to create high fashion looks that are runway ready
27:11out of these theme boxes that say, oh, Canada.
27:15And at this point, we're not really sure who's in trouble, but I am ready to let these girls
27:19have it.
27:20Work, bitch.
27:21Yes.
27:23How old are you again?
27:25Me?
27:2538.
27:26So you're the oldest here.
27:27I'm the oldest here, but no one knows it.
27:28But no one knows because my black skin is so juicy.
27:33Where's my lip gloss?
27:34I hate my life.
27:36Oh, my God.
27:37I just want my lip gloss.
27:39I love lemon, but she's a little annoying, a little like boohoo me.
27:42I just want my lip gloss.
27:44My lips are so dry.
27:47Sometimes people see me and think very quickly.
27:50Oh, yeah.
27:50I know that one.
27:51I did not bring enough makeup.
27:53Really?
27:54Why?
27:55Honestly, I couldn't afford to.
27:57I worked really hard to be in this competition.
27:59I went to probably the most prestigious dance school in the entire world in New York City,
28:04Alvin Ailey, and got in on a full scholarship.
28:06Being 19 and living on my own and paying my own rent in a city like New York City makes
28:11you grow up faster than anywhere in the world.
28:14If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.
28:16And I already made it there, so bring on these queens.
28:21Alona, where are you from?
28:22I'm from Vancouver.
28:24Ooh, that's fun.
28:24But I've been living in LA recently.
28:26Really?
28:27It was the change I needed.
28:28It was a nice way to refresh my perspective.
28:31Because I was very young when I started doing Drake Dare.
28:34I was so immature.
28:36Then when I grew up, no one was willing to understand that people grow up and change.
28:39I kind of have the same story with that, where I just drank a lot and I partied a lot.
28:46I had to get through that and become sober and quit drinking.
28:50I was just a mess.
28:51I just woke up and I was like, this is it.
28:53Like, I need to quit drinking and I need to get my shit together.
28:56So you're like fully sober now?
28:58Yeah, fully sober.
28:59Way to go.
28:59How much has your life changed since you sobered up?
29:01Oh my God.
29:02I have the clarity I need and I don't have the constant worry about being ashamed.
29:07Did people stop coming to your shows when you sobered up?
29:10Well, people don't go to my shows in the first place.
29:13People like stopped coming to mine.
29:15Really?
29:16Yeah.
29:16I've been sober for about two years now.
29:19It felt good to have a conversation with Beau about sobriety.
29:21I'm really proud of her for her sobriety journey.
29:23Because being in the industry that we're in,
29:25there's a lot of people that come to the show just to see how drunk you're gonna get
29:28and see all the dumb things you're gonna do.
29:31I was an asshole when I was drunk.
29:33And like, I wasn't a nice person.
29:35I decided I didn't like the person that I was while I was drinking
29:38and I didn't like the decisions that I made.
29:40So I decided to change that narrative.
29:42It's been the best decision I've ever made in my life.
29:45I'm super proud of myself for making those decisions.
29:48And I'm super proud of myself for kind of sticking with it.
29:51You know?
29:52You know?
29:53Okay, ladies.
29:55How do we feel about getting ready to walk the first runway on Canada's Drag Race?
30:01I'm excited to see what prize I win.
30:05A ticket home.
30:08We're in it now, girls.
30:27Put the base in your walk.
30:30Head to toe, let your whole body top.
30:37Welcome to the main stage of Canada's Drag Race.
30:40I'm Alicia Cuthbert and I'm thrilled to be the very first guest host to work this runway.
30:46Stacy McKenzie!
30:47What's up, girl?
30:48Stacy, what's the difference between a top model and a drag queen?
30:51I would say about five shoe sizes.
30:54My fellow Albertan, Jeffrey Boyer Chapman.
30:58Isn't this unreal?
31:00And Miss Brooklyn Heights.
31:02Oh, hi.
31:03How does it feel being on that side of the judge's desk?
31:05You know, it's all coming back to me now.
31:07But the truth is, I'm a little bit excited.
31:10Ooh, let these Canada games begin.
31:14This week, the queens were challenged to make a fashion first impression
31:17using classic Canadian materials.
31:20And tonight on the runway, they're ready to serve their Canuck couture fantasy.
31:25Gentlemen, start your engines and may the best woman win.
31:33First up, Anastasia Anakwe.
31:37I'm showing the judges craftsmanship.
31:40Rib from head to toe, my beautiful, stretched, shiny, whatever fabric this is.
31:46Red for quilt.
31:48Next up, Kiara.
31:49The fantasy is, hey girl, hey.
31:52So this Babadook bitch, she's gonna walk you down, baby.
31:55Hey.
31:57I'm holding this bitch forks.
31:59I have a big ass hat.
32:00This scarecrow is ready to scare all those bitches trying to come for me this competition.
32:04Scare crow she better don't.
32:07Uh-uh.
32:07She looks like she's gonna rob a silo.
32:09Yes.
32:11Lemon.
32:11Hook her up.
32:13I am working the runway.
32:14I am hitting my baseball out of the park.
32:16I'm realizing that this is a hockey stick, but it doesn't matter.
32:20I am serving you every sports fantasy rolled up into one little bitch.
32:24Oh.
32:25I have a great dentist.
32:27Ilona Verley.
32:28The fantasy is spooky ooky pageant queen realness.
32:32Her hands are all dirty cause she was digging her way out of the grave to compete in the
32:35Halloween Miss Bitch pageant or whatever.
32:37You know, she is trying to win that crowd.
32:40I ain't saying she a coal digger.
32:41But what are you saying?
32:42She's a whore.
32:45Next up, Kyne.
32:46I am serving you Disco Diva meets Yukon Gold Digger.
32:50She's dancing, she's strutting, she's looking for a new husband, and I am just letting these
32:54judges soak it in.
32:55Disco is not that it's gay.
32:57I think her balls just dropped.
33:01Scarlet Bobo.
33:05I'm serving this adorable cowboy girl look.
33:09I'm wearing this handkerchief bra.
33:10The look is fierce.
33:11I would get so much dick at Calgary Stampede in this outfit.
33:14Yeehaw, honey.
33:15Save a horse, tip a drag queen.
33:19Jimbo.
33:20I am giving you rainbow realness.
33:22Walking down the runway, I am serving 645 working pockets.
33:26But I can't find my bus fare.
33:28The fantasy is alive and it's heavy as hell and I can't feel my feet.
33:32Happy Pride.
33:34Tainomi Banks.
33:36Sock it to me, girl.
33:37I'm serving lumber Jane realness.
33:39Walking through the woods, going to my man's cabin.
33:42Why are those socks so stiff?
33:44Whoa.
33:46Boa.
33:47Honey, the fantasy is Little Miss Potato of P.E.I.
33:50She glued all of her first place ribbons to a glittery-ass green corset.
33:54And she is wearing her gorgeous potato crown.
33:56P-E-I-I-I-I-I-I.
33:59I am giving you all sorts of potato.
34:02We got baked potatoes, french fries, mashed potatoes.
34:05I knew it.
34:05Anna's twins.
34:06Do you see what happens when Marilla puts on some makeup?
34:12For this runway, I am serving disco ball Flintstones.

34:20I'm giving you this little ponytail.

34:38I'm giving you nautical, full Bollywood fish fantasy.
34:42Unlimited crab at your favorite local restaurant.
34:46Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Seafood Platter 2019.
34:50I do love a queen who cleans up after herself.
34:54Rita Vega.
34:55I'm serving frozen realness, popsicles, everything.
34:59She's a cold-hearted bitch.
35:01She just came from her cryotherapy appointment.
35:03I'm giving you full Quebec foie.
35:05And she's got some cheese curds, baby.
35:09Oh, cheese.
35:10Say cheese.
35:11You got a poutine to put out.
35:20Welcome back, ladies.
35:23Based on your Canuck couture fantasy and your runway presentation, the judges have made some decisions.
35:28When I call your name, please step forward.
35:35Anastasia Anakwe.
35:38Kiara.
35:40Ilona Verley.
35:43Scarlett Bobo.
35:46Tynomi Banks.
35:48Priyanka.
35:50You are all safe.
35:54Oh, my God.
35:55You may head back to the workroom.
36:01Hello, ladies.
36:03You all represent the tops and bottoms of the week.
36:09Lemon, you had the jock scraps.
36:12Sure did.
36:13So I get what you were going for tonight.
36:15I thought that you were quirky and campy and cute, but that certainly wasn't enough for me to buy what
36:22you were selling.
36:23The fit isn't great.
36:24And it all in the end just seems undone.
36:28My main problem with this outfit is just the shape.
36:31It's just very boxy.
36:32I think you have a great presence.
36:34However, for me, it was messy.
36:35I think you're adorable and I think your makeup looks beautiful tonight.
36:39It's funny.
36:39The little details like the mouth guard on the stocking and the shoe, I totally missed.
36:43I actually am loving it right now.
36:45I really appreciated the way you came out here.
36:47You had a character.
36:48So thank you for giving us a performance, even though it was off-Broadway.
36:53Off-off-Broadway.
36:55Yeah.
36:56Kind.
36:58Unfortunately, my favorite part of your outfit, the bell-bottoms, were falling apart.
37:03It's what my eyes were directly drawn to as you were walking.
37:06Just walking, you walk in it.
37:08It looked like you had just come from a grinder hookup.
37:10You were like, ooh, ooh.
37:13The outfit, unfortunately, it gave me a lot of, like, Christmas vibes.
37:17Not my favorite look tonight.
37:19What's my favorite look tonight?
37:20Okay, first of all, I got to say this.
37:22I feel like you went safe with your outfit.
37:24Make it larger than life.
37:25Go beyond your comfort zone.
37:27I felt like I had gone outside of my box with these bell bottoms.
37:31I've never had to do pants like these before.
37:33Okay, that's fine.
37:34But bring it up a notch.
37:35And don't be afraid to really go beyond.
37:37Want to say something?
37:38Yeah, I did.
37:39This is a very quintessential silhouette for me.
37:42I'm very proud of my outfit.
37:44Thank you, kind.
37:46Up next, Jimbo.
37:48Hey, hey, hey.
37:48I tend to have a soft spot for the quirky queens, but sometimes I think there's the concern
37:53that that's all there is.
37:55And you've proven tonight that you are not a one-trick pony.
37:59I have a lot of tricks.
38:00This outfit is very creative.
38:02What I love most is all the different colors and where you laid them out.
38:06The hard work you spent, you see.
38:08Job well done.
38:09Thank you so much.
38:10Boa!
38:11Hi!
38:12You had me in awe from the time you walked out by presenting your personality, your creativity.
38:17So you definitely captured our attention.
38:20I was very nervous to walk on here.
38:22No, listen.
38:23The nervousness did not show.
38:24You owned you.
38:26Those boobies.
38:28That is wowzers.
38:30Yeah.
38:32You're just fun.
38:33You're fun.
38:34You're fun.
38:35You're a fun girl.
38:39Up next, Rita Bega.
38:41You are certainly the most polished on the stage tonight.
38:45This was so Montreal, so high camp.
38:48The cabaret style of drag that Montreal does so beautifully.
38:51You hit presentation so far out of the park.
38:53I love that your look is like polished from head to toe.
38:56Cool.
38:56It's very high fashion.
38:58Perfect.
38:59I loved it.
39:00Let's see.
39:01Juice Box.
39:02Hi.
39:03I grew up going to much music video dances when I was a kid.
39:07Same.
39:08I really appreciate your cutesy little style and energy you brought out onto the runway.
39:12But unfortunately, it's not quite enough to cover up this outfit.
39:18Okay.
39:19I mean, it's just all a little bit sloppy for me.
39:22The skirt is just so short, unpolished, unfinished.
39:26Okay.
39:26Juice Box.
39:27Hi.
39:27How are you doing?
39:28Hi.
39:28I'm fine.
39:29You sure?
39:29Well, not now.
39:31This is messy.
39:33It's very safe.
39:34Okay.
39:35I'm really trying to find something positive here and honestly, I can't.
39:38This look is, I will say, it's very on brand for you.
39:42It's very cutesy pop princess.
39:44It's just a little basic.
39:48Yep.
39:49You okay?
39:50I just feel a little bit of a panic attack coming up.
39:55Okay.
39:55Don't panic.
39:58Can we get you some water, please?
40:00Yeah, get her some water.
40:02It's just really cold.
40:04Just breathe, honey.
40:07I'm sorry.
40:08I'm so embarrassed.
40:09It's okay.
40:09Don't get embarrassed.
40:10It's fine.
40:11Juice, here's your robe.
40:17It's fine.
40:18Know that we want to see all of you do well.
40:21You didn't get to hear my critiques.
40:24Oh, no, baby.
40:25I'm gonna be here for your critique as soon as that blood rushes back to my head.
40:28Yeah.
40:31Go for it.
40:33This was giving me like this cute like pop princess vibe.
40:36I thought it was adorable.
40:39Listen, everyone has their own opinions, but I actually thought this was really cute.
40:43Queen to Queen.
40:44I know the pressure of this competition firsthand.
40:46It's intense, but you're here for a reason to find Canada's next drag superstar.
40:51And this experience will change your life completely.
40:56While you untuck in the workroom, the judges and I will deliberate.
41:00You may leave.
41:05Oh, what's up?
41:08Survived.
41:09What happened?
41:10I had a panic attack on stage.
41:11No.
41:13I had a full blown panic attack.
41:16And I just like don't want to be that person.
41:18What did they say?
41:19The bottoms are me, lemon and juice fuck.
41:21No.
41:22Yes.
41:22I was ready to be like, hey guys, like, yeah, I'm the winner.
41:26Like just being up there for the first time.
41:28And it's just so, so intense.
41:32She's tough.
41:33You got in the top?
41:34I was in the top.
41:35Yes, they loved her.
41:37Kine is obviously very upset, but she's being a bit of a brat.
41:41Like, really, bitch?
41:43You're tough?
41:43We're living in a world where Boa beat me.
41:45Okay, listen, bitch.
41:47I can so discorset all myself fitting to each and every curve of this big meatball right
41:55here, bitch.
41:55Kine does not like my look.
41:57She's giving me a hard ass time right now.
41:59And I'm thinking, well, maybe if you weren't such a bitch and showed more personality on
42:02the runway, you wouldn't be where you are, honey.
42:04You gave this crazy ass box, bitch.
42:06And then you took the gold box and all they did was read your ass all day, bitch.
42:12What I delivered was my signature style.
42:14This is disco.
42:15This is Kine.
42:16It means absolutely nothing if you don't have character on that stage.
42:20So Kine starts going off and like, yeah, we're all in a competition, but she has taken
42:24it from like competition to full ass telenovela.
42:27Boa beat us.
42:28Oh my God.
42:28I'm amazing, bitch.
42:30Look at me, honey.
42:31Settle down, inside voice of sissy.
42:35Okay.
42:36Just between us cariboo boos, we got some decisions to make.
42:40What do we think about Lemon?
42:41She definitely owned her look.
42:43But at the end of the day, the outfit, it was a complete mess.
42:45She was going for football player and cheerleader.
42:49And it just was all too much.
42:51That put a sour taste in my mouth.
42:53I appreciated how she was able to take criticism though.
42:55Agreed.
42:56She took it gracefully.
42:57She did not fight back.
42:58There was no sour looks.
43:01Speaking of sour looks, Kine.
43:03Did y'all get that attitude?
43:05Oh yes.
43:06Clearly not a pageant queen.
43:08Not someone who's grown up learning to take critique.
43:10I think that's part of the danger with social media queens.
43:12You're so used to receiving all of these accolades and just constant affirmation.
43:16She thought she had a winner, but it didn't hit the mark.
43:19And those balls on the bottom?
43:20She couldn't walk.
43:22Kine had a very snobbish attitude, so she needs to like suck up whatever she's feeling
43:26and know that we're here to help her, not to hinder her.
43:29What do we all think of Jimbo?
43:31So colorful and fun and vibrant.
43:35Rainbow colors are hard to work with.
43:36That's hard to make look fashion.
43:38And I really think she did a good job with what she had.
43:40Her personalities are so wild and out there.
43:42Outrageous and quirky.
43:44She did not cut corners and I appreciated that.
43:47Moving on.
43:48Boa.
43:48What a little weirdo.
43:50Oh my gosh.
43:52She's fantastic.
43:52Her personality really shone through tonight.
43:55I knew within a minute exactly who she is.
43:59The outfit itself was like a meld of like Peter Pan and Poison Ivy and Anna Green Gables,
44:06but yet here I am, can't take my eyes off of her.
44:08That outfit should not have worked.
44:10No.
44:11And it was weird.
44:12And I was like, why do I like this?
44:13I shouldn't like this, but I liked it.
44:15You have to be able to engage the audience.
44:17That is key when it comes to a runway.
44:19And she, you know, she did that very well.
44:21Juice Box.
44:22There was just really nothing about the outfit that I liked.
44:27The wig was a shake and go.
44:28The skirt was unpolished, unfinished.
44:31I could see the hem rolling up in the bottom.
44:33It was just so unflattering.
44:35Her personality is so bubbly and lovable and fun,
44:38but that look was like party city Wilma Flintstone.
44:41It's not like she didn't have a lot of options.
44:43She had options.
44:44She had CDs.
44:45Do you remember CDs?
44:46Yeah, she had CDs.
44:47I'm still using.
44:48You still use CDs?
44:49Yes.
44:49You too, right, Leah?
44:51No, I don't.
44:53To me, she could have done so much more with her outfit.
44:56I feel bad because I think I understand what she was trying to go for.
44:59And finally, last but certainly not least, Rita Baga.
45:02Love, love, love, love Rita Baga.
45:04That outfit was elevated.
45:06The taste level was through the roof.
45:08I love that detail of the roots' mittens.
45:11Kind of have a crush on Rita.
45:12I wanted to crawl into her igloo and just cuddle up there and stay there all night.
45:16I know who she is after seeing her on that runway.
45:19She is a campy Quebecois queen.
45:21They're very over the top and cabaret.
45:23So I thought that was a really nice nod to her province.
45:26And the cheese curds.
45:27I wanted some of those.
45:30I think the three of us have made our decision.
45:32Bring back our loons.
45:39Welcome back, ladies.
45:42Each week, the three of us have to decide who stays and who sashays away.
45:47So many queens from across Canada applied, but you all made it here.
45:51And that is an accomplishment that nobody can take away from you.
45:54Just by being here, you should all be so proud.
45:57Jimbo.
45:58Well, zippity-doo-dah-gay.
46:00You served us rainbow right.
46:03Boa.
46:04Girl, life gave you spuds and you made taterade.
46:09Rita Bega.
46:11We loved you from cold front to back.
46:14Rita Bega.
46:16Gondragulations.
46:18You are the winner of this week's challenge.
46:23I made it!
46:25You have won a $5,000 shopping spree from our friends at Roots.
46:31You may join the other girls.
46:33Yay!
46:34This, right now, is her story.
46:37I won the first ever maxi challenge on Canada's Drag Race.
46:43Boa and Jimbo, you are both safe.
46:47You may both step to the back of the stage.
46:54Juice Box.
46:56We can see that you have plenty of juice.
46:59We just wish that you would use more of your box.
47:02I am so sorry, my dear, but you are up for elimination.
47:06Kine, we love balls.
47:08We love them.
47:09But on the runway, you didn't gold dig deep enough.
47:14Lemon, you brought your anime game to the runway,
47:17but your sports look wasn't super kawaii.
47:23Lemon, I'm sorry to say that you were up for elimination.
47:28Kine, you are safe.
47:30However, during your critiques,
47:31all of the judges got serious pushback from you.
47:35There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance.
47:38We all suggest you find it.
47:40You may join the other girls.
47:45I'm sorry.
47:56Two queens stand before us.
48:02Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare a lip sync performance
48:06of Carly Rae Jepsen's I Really Like You.
48:10Ladies, this is your last chance to impress us
48:13and save yourself from elimination.
48:18The time has come for you to lip sync for your life.
48:26I feel terrible.
48:28Like, I did not think that I'd be bottom two this early on.
48:31I did not think that my look was deserving of bottom two.
48:34I am really shaken up.
48:37Sorry, sis, but someone's gotta go.
48:40This is gonna be a full-out bloodbath.
48:42It's gonna be a show.
48:42Good luck.
48:44And don't...
48:46get up.
48:53I really wanna stop, but I just got a taste for it.
48:57I feel like I could fly off above the moon.
49:01So I may hold my hand, you're not making me wait for it.
49:04I feel like I could die walking up to the room.
49:08Oh, yeah.
49:09Late night watching television.
49:13But how'd we get in this position?
49:16It's way too soon.
49:17There is no way I'm going home.
49:19I don't care what it takes.
49:20I love juice box so much, but I'm about to send this bitch past you.
49:24I really, really, really, really, really, really like you.
49:28I don't want you.
49:29Do you want me?
49:30Do you want me too?
49:31I really, really, really, really, really, really like you.
49:35I don't want you.
49:36Do you want me?
49:37Do you want me too?
49:39Oh, did I say too much?
49:41I'm so in my head.
49:43When we're out of touch.
49:46I really, really, really, really, really, really like you.
49:50Yeah.
49:50I don't want you.
49:51Do you want me?
49:52Do you want me too?
49:53Who gave you eyes like that?
49:55Said you could keep them.
49:57I don't know how to act, though.
49:59If I should be leaving.
50:00This lip sync right now is fire.
50:03Going out of my mind.
50:04I need to tell you something.
50:06Yeah, I need to tell you something.
50:08Yeah.
50:09I'm really, really, really, really, really, really like you.
50:13How are you?
50:14Do you want me?
50:15Do you want me too?
50:16I really, really, really, really, really, really like you.
50:20How are you?
50:22Do you want me?
50:22Do you want me too?
50:24Oh, did I say too much?
50:26Did I say too much?
50:27So in my head.
50:28So in my head.
50:29We're out of touch.
50:30We're out of touch.
50:31I really, really, really, really, really, really, really like you.
50:35How are you?
50:36Do you want me?
50:37Do you want me too?
50:38Yeah.
51:03Ladies, I hope you're all paying attention.
51:06That is how you lip sync for your life.
51:09But a decision must be made.
51:19Lemon.
51:22Shantae, you stay.
51:27You may join the other girls.
51:40Juicebox, you may not have brought home the Canadian bacon, but you will always be our
51:44Canadian pork chop.
51:47Now sip on that.
51:48I will.
51:50Thank you guys so much.
51:51I appreciate it all from the bottom of my heart.
51:53This is an amazing opportunity and I'm just so happy that I got to be a part of it.
51:56And now I'm part of those Pantheon girls that went home first.
52:01It breaks my heart to say this, but sashay away.
52:05We love you.
52:06I love you too.
52:07And you should be so proud of yourself.
52:09I am.
52:10Thank you guys so much.
52:11We love you.
52:12We love you.
52:16Bye.
52:22I'm proud of myself that I made it here.
52:24I never thought that I would even have a chance to get on Drag Race and here I am
52:27on the first season of Canada's Drag Race and I put up a fight.
52:31I came.
52:32I saw.
52:33I got stuck on my outfit.
52:34I fell in the mini challenge and then I danced my ass off.
52:37There you go, Canada.
52:39Suck on that.
