Canada's Drag Race (2020) s01e09 Episode Script
The Snow Ball
RUPAUL: Previously,
on Canada's Drag Race
JEFFREY: You'll each
be paired with one of
our Rainbow Railroad newcomers,
and make them over
into the newest members
of your drag family.
LEMON: The secret is to
just believe in yourself.
Delusional self-confidence
is the Lemon brand.
SCARLETT: [gasps]
RAINER: Holy shit! [laughs]
PRIYANKA: That's a man, Morey!
JEFFREY: I could tell that you
both were having so much fun.
STACEY: Your runway
presentation was underwhelming.
I was expecting more.
JEFFREY: I think they're
the least cohesive of the night.
BROOKE LYNN: Priyanka,
con-drag-ulations.
You are the winner of
this week's challenge.
PRIYANKA: Oh-ho-ho!
BROOKE LYNN: Rita Baga,
chante, you stay.
For a Lemon,
you're pretty sweet.
Now sashay away.
♪
RITA BAGA: Top four!
SCARLETT: Top four!
PRIYANKA: Jesus!
Let's see what your
boyfriend wrote.
JIMBO: Oh my god.
RITA: Lemon is gone,
and we had so, so, so many
good moments together.
RITA: "To my top four,
I love you, I'm proud of you."
RITA: And I'll probably
be sad for about
two minutes.
RITA: "And you're
all dumb and ugly.
"XOXO, Lemon."
JIMBO: What a sweetheart.
PRIYANKA: [laughs]
JIMBO: We'll see you
in the fruit drawer.
SCARLETT: [chuckles]
PRIYANKA: Lemon was not only
one of my best friends here,
but she was my
fiercest competition.
So it's like now
that Lemon's gone
Bye, bitch!
[laughs]
SCARLETT: There's so much
room on these couches!
[laughter]
SCARLETT: Jimbo and I
wouldn't know,
and I hope that we don't
ever have to find out,
but what was it
like to lip synch
for the first time
in the competition?
RITA: Well, just
to state the fact,
you don't know about
winning either, so okay,
let's continue
this conversation.
PRIYANKA: Pardon me?!
[laughter]
SCARLETT: We are on week nine,
and I haven't won anything,
but I haven't been
in the bottom,
haven't been
in the bottom team,
and I haven't had
to lip synch yet.
So
hmm.
PRIYANKA: Well, guess what?
I got my Pri-demption!
SCARLETT: Yeah, Pri-demption!
PRIYANKA: Oh my god,
my second wind!
You have 3, 2, 1
SCARLETT & PRIYANKA: None!
SCARLETT: I get it.
I'm the underdog.
I'm nobody's threat.
But I haven't been
in the bottom twice!
PRIYANKA: We've gotta
get out of drag, then.
RITA: It's top four right now,
which means that we have
one chance out of four
to win the grand prize.
And now I'm feeling
the pressure.
There's no room for mistakes.
RITA: This is my moment.
♪
RUPAUL: The winner
of Canada's Drag Race
receives a year of
hotel stays from Hilton,
and a cash prize of $100,000.
With Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman,
Stacey McKenzie,
and Brooke Lynn Hytes.
With tonight's extra special
guest host, Michelle Visage!
♪
♪
SCARLETT: Top four!
[laughter]
PRIYANKA: New day
in the workroom,
and the top four
is in the house!
JIMBO: Oh, you're
like a tornado,
a leather-tasseled tornado.
PRIYANKA: We are
feeling fabulous!
We are feeling fierce!
SCARLETT: Ooh!
JIMBO: Where'd
the other dawls go?
PRIYANKA: Another day,
another dawl gone!
PRIYANKA: And some of us
are feeling very competitive.
SCARLETT: I can't believe
there's four of us left.
This is so crazy!
PRIYANKA: Isn't that crazy that
one of us is gonna win $100,000?
JIMBO: I will be.
SCARLETT: Going home this week?
JIMBO: No, I'm the winner.
[laughter]
JIMBO: At this point,
my biggest competition
is Priyanka and Rita,
and I can't wait to knock
another one of these bitches
out of the competition
on my way to the top.
JIMBO: [laughs]
[siren]
SCARLETT: Oh my god.
RUPAUL: O Canada!
SCARLETT: [gasps]
RUPAUL: She done
already done had herses.
RUPAUL: Hail, queens.
JIMBO: Yeah, bitch!
RUPAUL: I hope you're
having an Arctic blast,
because the more you snow,
the more you blow.
SCARLETT: Ooh!
RUPAUL: And in this competition,
the winner takes squall.
[engine revving sound]
STACEY: Bonjour,
bonjour, bonjour!
[all exclaiming]
PRIYANKA: Hello, ponytail!
STACEY: Right, right?
PRIYANKA: Giddy-up!
STACEY: Right?
SCARLETT: Look at
the body, though!
STACEY: Hello, ladies.
PRIYANKA: Who does
she think she is today?
STACEY: Final four!
[all cheering]
STACEY: Very soon,
one of you queens will become
Canada's first ever
drag superstar.
PRIYANKA: It feels amazing!
JIMBO: I'm so excited.
STACEY: Your goal is to
be the last queen standing,
and if you want
to go the distance,
you have to pull out
all the stops.
Today's mini challenge
will test you.
No, it will screentest you.
PRIYANKA: What's she mean?
JIMBO: She talkin'
'bout a screen test.
PRIYANKA: Who's talkin'
'bout a screen test?!
STACEY: And to run this
screen test, we've called in
writer, producer, and comedian,
Sabrina Jalees.
[all exclaiming]
SABRINA: Hello, queens!
QUEENS: Hi!
PRIYANKA: Sabrina Jalees!
Comedy writer extraordinaire!
SABRINA: It's me,
Rosario Dawson!
[laughter]
RITA: Sabrina Jalees, werk!
STACEY: Welcome to Canada's
Drag Race, Sabrina girl.
SABRINA: Welcome to being
in love with me, Stacey.
STACEY: Oh my gosh!
JIMBO: Ooh!
SABRINA: I read energy.
[laughter]
STACEY: I know you're
a busy beaver in LA.
SABRINA: Okay.
STACEY: What could you tell the
ladies about the screen test?
SABRINA: First of all, living
and working in Los Angeles
is dope.
I am swimming with Rhianna.
I'm shopping with Beyonce.
I'm flossing with
Timothee Chalamet. [laughter]
SABRINA: But my heart
belongs to Canada,
and nothing gets me going
like a powerful rendition
PRIYANKA: No.
SABRINA: of
the national anthem.
SCARLETT: Yes!
Yes!
SABRINA: So today I'm putting
on my producer's hat,
and casting for
the role of local singer
in a fictional project
I'm calling
"Oh, She Better, Canada."
SCARLETT: Okay.
PRIYANKA: [laughs] Oh, no.
SABRINA: Queens,
I'm looking for a scene-stealer,
a lady who can
bring down the house
while making
the country rise to its feet,
then fall to its knees.
PRIYANKA: Oh, shit.
SABRINA: Do you know
anyone like that?
PRIYANKA: Ooh!
STACEY: Listen, you better
stand on guard for she,
because the queen who has the
best and funniest audition wins.
You have 20 minutes to get into
local chanteuse quick drag.
RITA: That's a French word.
STACEY: And we'll
meet you on set.
Ready?
Go!
PRIYANKA: [laughs]
Alright!
RITA: It's time
for natural beauty.
RITA: We have 20 minutes
to get into quick drag.
SCARLETT: Can I borrow
a pair of your tits, Jimbo?
JIMBO: [laughs]
RITA: We have to sing
the national anthem.
It's chaotic.
SCARLETT: Oh, I just
did my hair today,
and now I gotta
wear a hairnet.
RITA: The result
is always the same.
I look like, you know,
my third time in drag.
But maybe I'll do good.
We'll see about it.
Aah!
SABRINA: Oh, wow!
Hello, young lady!
JIMBO: I'm applying
for your song truce,
or whatever it's called.
SCARLETT: Wow,
it's so nice in here!
SABRINA: And who
do we have here?
SCARLETT: Hi, I'm Scarlett BoBo.
SABRINA: Your dress has a bit of
a built-in wardrobe malfunction.
JIMBO: Oh, there's no
malfunction in this wardrobe.
PRIYANKA: Hi!
SABRINA: Hi, tell us your name.
PRIYANKA: My name is Priyanka.
SABRINA: I'm so glad you were
able to come here and audition.
You really dressed up for it.
PRIYANKA: I feel Canadian.
SABRINA: You must be cold.
PRIYANKA: Freezing.
RITA: My name is Rita Baga.
I'm a famous singer
from Boucherville.
SABRINA: I love
Boucherville, yeah.
Just, in the dead winter,
I love Boucherville.
RITA: Mm-hm.
SABRINA: Alright.
I'm gonna let you
sing in a moment,
but when I raise my hand,
it just means
that I have a note
JIMBO: Okay.
SABRINA: So please stop, hear
my direction, incorporate it,
and take it away.
JIMBO: O Canada
SCARLETT: Our home
and native land
PRIYANKA: True patriot love
ALL FOUR: In all
of us command
RITA: Aa-aa-aa!
What?
SABRINA: It's obvious that
you have gorgeous vocal range,
but for the purpose
of this audition,
could you sing it
as flat as possible?
RITA: Fine.
SABRINA: Thanks for
being such a good sport.
RITA: O Canada,
terre de nos aieux
SABRINA: I'd like
a little more fear.
You're in a huge stadium.
You're scared.
You're scared for your life.
SABRINA: That's the vibe,
and I want you to start again.
JIMBO: O Canada,
we see thee rise
[laughter]
SCARLETT: O Canada,
our home and native land
PRIYANKA: O!
Ca-na-daaaa!
You have a question?
SABRINA: What I'd really
like to see from you
is an angry version.
RITA: Like right now,
I'm really mad because
you can't stop interrupting me.
STACEY: Oh!
RITA: [deep voice] Car ton
bras sait porter l'epée
PRIYANKA: [harsh voice] O!
Ca-na-da!
SABRINA: Yeah, girl!
SCARLETT: [deep voice]
Glorious and free
RITA: [deep voice]
De fleurons Glorieux
SABRINA: I'm just stopping you
mostly because I feel like
you're putting a hex on us.
I'd like you to go
back to the patriot love
and the sons command,
knowing that
the patriot is your ex-husband,
and your son's
not talking to you.
JIMBO: True patriot love,
in all my son's command.
[Southern accent] You're just
like your goddamn daddy!
SABRINA: A version
with some tongue pops.
SCARLETT: O Canada
[pops tongue]
Our home and native land
[pops tongue]
SABRINA: Give me
a version where
it sounds like
you're underwater.
RITA: [singing like
she's underwater]
[gurgling]
[laughter]
SABRINA: I'd love to see
some vocal range.
JIMBO: Tru-u-e
patriot lo-o-ove
Sons command,
oooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, oh
[voice getting lower]
SABRINA: And a little bit lower.
JIMBO: [very low]
Oh oh
SABRINA: The fastest
version possible.
[all singing anthem quickly]
SABRINA: Straight
into the slowest version.
Just cheese
on a poutine.
RITA: Mmm, poutine.
SCARLETT: O Canada
STACEY: Louder.
SCARLETT: Our home
STACEY: But slow.
SCARLETT: [singing slowly]
and native land.
JIMBO: Ohhhh
[note continues]
RITA: Nos

[laughter]
RITA: [snoring]
[laughter]
SABRINA: Madame, um
RITA: Ton
[laughter]
RITA: front
SABRINA: Alright, so we've
seen all we've needed to see.
Thank you so much.
SCARLETT: How much did
you like me, though?
SABRINA: Let's just say
we saw all of your stuff.
SCARLETT: Thank you!
PRIYANKA: Thank you!
SABRINA: I'm not sure you're
in the running for this,
but you have been entered
in the Westminster Dog Show.
♪
SABRINA: Alright,
let's get security.
STACEY: Ladies,
that was something.
My ears will never
be the same again,
and neither will the anthem.
But one of you
was pitch-perfect.
The winner of
the mini challenge is
Rita Baga.
[all cheering]
STACEY: Con-drag-ulations.
RITA: Thank you!
STACEY: You've won
a $1,000 gift certificate,
courtesy of Dirt Squirrel.
RITA: Mmm!
RITA: I won the mini challenge!
It's my first win
on a mini challenge.
And who did that?
I did!
STACEY: Now, if the anthem
was a pre-game show,
get ready for the main event.
PRIYANKA: [screams]
STACEY: It's going to be
a ball!
[all cheering]
PRIYANKA: We love a ball!
RITA: We're having a ball!
SCARLETT: We made it
to the ball, girls!
STACEY: For this
semi-final maxi challenge,
you have to harness all
your charisma, uniqueness,
nerve, and talent,
and bring it to the Snow Ball.
SCARLETT: Yes!
STACEY: We want to see
three different looks
hot enough to
melt a deep freeze.
STACEY: #CanadasDragRace.
Your first category
serves C-E-Ho,
in Executive Holiday
Party Realness.
[laughter]
STACEY: Next category,
Apres the Apres Ski,
the Icy Walk of Shame.
SCARLETT: Yes!
RITA: Story of my life.
STACEY: And
the final category
Oh, pit crew!
[wolf whistle]
SCARLETT: Uh-oh.
Damn.
STACEY: Oh, I love my job.
[laughs]
PRIYANKA: Ha-ha!
STACEY: For your final look,
you'll be serving your best
Ice Queen Eleganza
SCARLETT: Oh, hm
SCARLETT: Please don't make
this a sewing challenge.
Please, please,
please, please, please.
STACEY: which you'll
have to make from scratch.
SCARLETT: Argh!
STACEY: For this challenge,
you could use your own
heels and wigs, fabric
from the Fabricland wall,
plus jewels from LAG Concepts,
and any of these wintery items
that the pit crew brought in.
Speaking of pit crew,
you may go.
SCARLETT: Byeee!
STACEY: Gentlemen,
start your engines,
and may the best woman win.
SCARLETT: Yes, girl.
Aah!
PRIYANKA: Ding, ding, ding!
PRIYANKA: Do you want icicles?
Take me some of those.
SCARLETT: The theme
for this ball is the Snow Ball.
SCARLETT: Oh, this is cute.
PRIYANKA: First category
is Holiday C-E-Ho!
SCARLETT: The second look
is Apres the Apres Ski,
the Icy Walk of Shame.
PRIYANKA: Ooh!
PRIYANKA: And the final
category is Ice Queen Eleganza.
PRIYANKA: Y'all want a hat?
PRIYANKA: This category
is very important
because it's the look
that you're gonna be in
when the judges decide
if you have what it takes
to make it to the finale.
And guess what?
We have to make it from scratch.
I could cut this
tension with a knife!
SCARLETT: Can
I steal some of that?
JIMBO: No, sorry.
I love you,
but I need $100,000.
SCARLETT: [evil laugh]
RITA: My sisters,
they are fierce competition.
BoBo is really punk rock, gothy.
SCARLETT: Look at these.
RITA: Priyanka is glamour,
you know, a pop star.
PRIYANKA: Look, I made a panty!
RITA: Jimbo, he's extravagant
and fashion-forward.
My look is not subtle, it's
not discreet, and very loud.
So we are four different people
with four different styles,
so I have to bring
my best to, you know,
put this crown
on top of my head.
PRIYANKA: I'm working
on my final look,
which is Beyonce-inspired.
My designing abilities,
I'm okay, but when it comes to
sewing, sewing is really hard,
so I'm literally
gonna glue anything
I can find to this corset,
because
I gotta hide the fact
that I'm just wearing a corset.
PRIYANKA: I need
more snowflakes.
Oh, I could use some of this
for some texture.
Oh my god, and these too.
SCARLETT: Priyanka is like
just gluing shit to a corset.
Ha.
That's not gonna get you
into this finale, honey.
PRIYANKA: Tropical Christmas.
PRIYANKA: I'm just gonna
embellish the out of it,
and sell it.
PRIYANKA: Merry Christmas.
♪
JIMBO: Have you ever been
to an apres ski party before?
PRIYANKA: No.
JIMBO: Wow.
PRIYANKA: When was
the last time you saw a POC
at the ski hill, bitch?
No.
JIMBO: It's the most
amazing party.
PRIYANKA: That's white
people behaviour.
PRIYANKA: [sputters]
SCARLETT: Oh my god,
this is major!
SCARLETT: I'm so excited to have
made it to a Drag Race ball.
SCARLETT: This is
literally gay Christmas.
This is so major.
SCARLETT: We have
a limited time to make
extravaganza look
for the runway,
but I have zero
sewing experience.
SCARLETT: I kind of want to like
go as like a Viking,
like something some like
sexy Christmas Viking.
So Jimbo
JIMBO: Yeah?
SCARLETT: It I wanted to
just make this into a shawl,
could I potentially just like
and cut a hole here?
JIMBO: You're not gonna
have your shoulder.
You'll just have a big bag.
SCARLETT: Huh?
JIMBO: BoBo doesn't know
much about costume design,
and I know that
she gets stressed out,
and I don't want
her to flip out.
SCARLETT: I don't know
what the I'm doing.
Oh!
JIMBO: It's gonna be worse for
me not to help, at this point.
JIMBO: The cape is made
out of four pieces.
SCARLETT: But there's
only one piece of fur.
JIMBO: Yeah, but you cut
the one piece into four pieces.
SCARLETT: There
is no four pieces.
JIMBO: This is four pieces.
It's your two centre back,
and the front is cut here.
Four pieces.
SCARLETT: And if I only
have one piece of fur?
JIMBO: No, if you
have one piece of fur,
you cut your one piece
of fur into four pieces.
SCARLETT: Huh?
JIMBO: [laughs]
SCARLETT: You just spoke
a totally different language.
SCARLETT: I hate this.
I'm not a seamstress.
SCARLETT: This is hard.
SCARLETT: [sighs]
Sucks.
♪
STACEY: I'm back!
JIMBO: Hey!
RITA: Hello!
STACEY: Did you miss me?
PRIYANKA: Yes.
JIMBO: Yeah.
SCARLETT: Duh!
STACEY: You better.
PRIYANKA: Oh-ho-ho!
STACEY: Hi, Miss Baga.
RITA: Hello.
STACEY: You've won
the last two design challenges.
I'm sure you're feeling
the pressure even more now.
RITA: I'm still
heading to the crown,
so it's one challenge at a time.
I go week by week.
STACEY: Has it surprised you
being in the final four?
RITA: I'm very humble,
but I'm not surprised
because I've been
STACEY: What?
RITA: very focused
since the beginning.
It might be seen as,
you know, being quiet,
but at the same time, it helps
me to really focus on the goal
and to respect the challenges.
STACEY: Tell me about this ice
queen eleganza you're making.
RITA: I'm going for
a high fashion punk look,
but still queen-esque.
STACEY: Why the punk look?
RITA: It suits me well, I think,
so I'm trying to respect
the objective and the goals
of this challenge,
but make it my own.
STACEY: So, what would
winning mean to you?
RITA: I'll be the very first
French-speaking to win.
It's also the result of
13 years of hard work.
You know, I really do appreciate
all the different things
you told me that I should
work on, you know,
not standing like this,
and try to focus,
and think about
hotdogs when I walk,
so it makes me look happy.
STACEY: Think about the hotdogs.
[laughs]
RITA: Yeah.
I'm a hotdog lover.
STACEY: Anyways, that's
another story, alright?
RITA: Thank you.
STACEY: Get back to work.
RITA: Thank you,
thank you, thank you.
STACEY: Hi, Priyanka.
How are you feeling?
PRIYANKA: To be a part
of a ball is an honour.
We all want to be
a part of the ball.
STACEY: True, true.
Are you surprised to be here?
PRIYANKA: It was
a little rocky.
I had really high highs,
really low lows.
Having low moments in this
competition, it messes with you.
I came from a background
of like improv, so imagine,
to my surprise, when I bombed
both of the improv challenges
in this competition.
STACEY: That must have
messed with your head big-time.
PRIYANKA: Luckily, this
competition is a playground
to grow, because from that,
I grew so much.
STACEY: Pat yourself
on the back for that.
PRIYANKA: A-a-a-a-a
STACEY: And the front.
PRIYANKA: And the front!
[both laugh]
STACEY: What would
winning mean to you?
PRIYANKA: It would be
everything, you know?
I worked two jobs
for a long time.
I was like hosting kids TV
during the day and that,
and then at night,
I'd be turning up
at the clubs as Priyanka.
STACEY: What? [laughs]
Whoa.
PRIYANKA: I left my kids TV job
to do drag full-time,
so it would be life-changing.
It really, really would.
But also, representing,
you know, our queer POCs.
I want to take all that money
and put on great shows
for them too, you know?
STACEY: Yeah.
PRIYANKA: So that's why
making it for the final four
and that much closer
to the finale is like
Oh Ooh, I can just feel it.
I can taste it.
STACEY: Your hard work
is paying off.
PRIYANKA: Yes, it is.
STACEY: Tell me about your
ice queen eleganza outfit.
PRIYANKA: This is
gonna be covered,
and then we're gonna have
a giant skirt, and a jewel,
but I don't want to
tell you everything
'cause I want you
to be surprised.
STACEY: Yeah, yeah,
don't tell me anything.
Alright,
I'll leave you to it.
I look forward to seeing
you on the runway.
STACEY: Hi, BoBo.
How are you feeling?
STACEY: It's been
a really weird experience.
I came with a solid
plan and, you know,
walking through those doors,
everything kind of like
switched around on me
because, you know,
you don't know what to expect.
STACEY: Well, listen,
you're here in the final four.
That fire that got lit under
you, you really ran with it,
so whatever you're doing, you're
doing it well, but you know,
it's still a competition,
and there still has to be
one winner, so what
are you gonna do different
this time around?
SCARLETT: I'm not gonna
hold back anything.
There were times
when I was like,
"Oh, maybe I shouldn't
put that on,"
or "Maybe I should
take that off,"
and I'm just going
with my gut this time,
because at this point,
there's no other option.
STACEY: I want to
ask you something.
What kind of work have
you done in the community?
SCARLETT: I try to use
my platform as much as I can,
and I've always made sure
to give not just drag queens,
non-binary performers,
alternative queens, drag kings,
I've just been trying
to give more back
because when I started, I didn't
have that kind of chance.
STACEY: It's really good that
you're helping your community
and helping others
so early because
it will truly make a difference.
SCARLETT: I had a really
shitty childhood growing up,
and you know, drag was
the only thing that made me feel
like I took up space,
and I was important.
There's no rules.
There's no walls.
There's no limits.
You can be who you are.
You can be as weird as you want,
as glamourous as you want,
as freaky as you want.
And you can do that
all in the same night,
if you really wanted to.
[laughter]
SCARLETT: Drag is
just beautiful.
STACEY: All the best,
and see you on the stage.
SCARLETT: I love you.
STACEY: Aw.
SCARLETT: I'll see you tomorrow!
STACEY: Alrighty.
STACEY: Hi, Jimbo!
JIMBO: Stacey, how are you?
STACEY: So how are you feeling?
JIMBO: Great, yeah.
I'm really excited.
I have some really good looks
that you are going to love.
STACEY: Really?
Oh, nice.
JIMBO: I'm gonna make
a gown that hugs my body,
and hugs your mind.
STACEY: Has it surprised you
being in the top four?
JIMBO: No.
Did I hope to be
in the top four?
Yes.
And do I hope to win?
Definitely.
Yeah, I hope to win
this entire competition.
STACEY: What are you
goals with your drag?
JIMBO: I'm a clown at my root.
I don't really do
a lot of rehearsing.
It's all about surprise.
Jimbo is who I am in the world,
so really, for me,
it's mostly about
characterization
and pushing the boundaries
through storytelling
and costuming.
STACEY: I'm gonna
leave you to continue.
JIMBO: You don't want to help?
STACEY: I'm a model.
I wear the clothes.
I don't make it.
[laughter]
STACEY: Ladies, gather 'round!
Tomorrow on the main stage,
you'll walk the runway

where we'll be joined by
extra, extra special guest host,
whose visage
you may recognize
PRIYANKA: No.
SCARLETT: [gasps]
STACEY: Drag Race legend,
Michelle Visage.
[all cheering]
JIMBO: That's crazy!
RITA: It's Michelle Visage!
SCARLETT: Oh!
JIMBO: Oh my god, so cool!
SCARLETT: Ahh-haaa!
PRIYANKA: Michelle Visage, she
sits on the panel beside RuPaul.
She knows what it takes
to win this competition.
MICHELLE: Do you know
what I'm gonna say?
DRAG QUEEN: I know.
Sorry.
MICHELLE: It's either a leotard
or a corset and a panty,
and I'm getting bored.
PRIYANKA: If she doesn't
like something
SCARLETT: Oh!
PRIYANKA: you're going home.
STACEY: Ladies, I have only
one thing to say to you.
PRIYANKA: What?
STACEY: Good luck
and don't it up.
See ya on the runway.
SCARLETT: Byeee!
[all screaming
and laughing]
RITA: Oh, I don't know
how I'm gonna handle this!
RITA: I'm absorbing the news.
It's like extra pressure.
PRIYANKA: Holy shit!
SCARLETT: This is next level.
PRIYANKA: I'm spinning out!
JIMBO: Yes, spin right out.
PRIYANKA: Watch out, bitch.
SCARLETT: Shady bitch.
[laughter]
JIMBO: The workroom
feels a little bit crazy.
We have three looks on the go,
and nothing can go wrong.
JIMBO: The stakes are so
high now, it's crazy.
JIMBO: I have to win this.
SCARLETT: What is happening with
this jackass sewing machine?
Ugh!
Oh no, what did I do?
RITA: I think BoBo
should be worried about
this design challenge because
you have to know how to sew.
SCARLETT: Ah-hmm,
I broke it!
RITA: And, you know,
she don't.
SCARLETT: What did I do?
SCARLETT: [gasps]
SCARLETT: Ugh!

PRIYANKA: Top four in the house!
PRIYANKA: Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo!
SCARLETT: Top four!
PRIYANKA: Okay,
we got Michelle Visage
in the house today!
JIMBO: Yeah, yeah!
SCARLETT: Oh my god.
And we get to show her how
Canadian girls do it, honey,
in this freezing ass cold.
[laughter]
RITA: It's a new day
in the workroom.
It's pretty much unbelievable
that we are only four girls,
so I'm really
feeling the pressure.
The stakes are high.
RITA: Are you stressing out?
PRIYANKA: If I lip synch
tonight, it's my third time,
which means
RITA: Yeah, you should do it.
SCARLETT: Oh!
PRIYANKA: No.
I don't plan on
being in the bottom.
I think you two,
it's your moment.
Rita and I

RITA: Do you have anyone like

PRIYANKA: For me, my mom.
How about you?
Who's rooting for you?
RITA: My dad is really
my number one fan.
PRIYANKA: No way!
RITA: Yeah.
When he talks
to another person about me,
I can see that
he's really proud.
RITA: My dad has always
been there for me,
and he's my number one fan,
so every time I have
a big show, he's there.
PRIYANKA: Does he tell you
he loves you and stuff?
RITA: Yeah.
PRIYANKA: Aw.
RITA: And a really deep hug.
[laughs]
And he speaks so slowly.
PRIYANKA: That's amazing.
RITA: But that's funny
because he's the CEO
of a construction company,
so you don't expect him
to be this much open, you know,
so I'm very happy and proud
to have him as my dad.
PRIYANKA: That's so cool.
BoBo, how about you?
SCARLETT: Um, I think my mom.
SCARLETT: My mom
is my best friend.
SCARLETT: Yeah, she had to
be like my mom and my dad,
and everything in between,
when I was younger.
SCARLETT: Growing up, my
stepdad was a raging alcoholic.
I would watch him, you know,
beat my mom on a daily basis.
That was really hard for me
because I was the oldest,
and I wanted to, you know,
protect her, and I couldn't.
♪
SCARLETT: Hm
Hm.
[sniffs]
[sighs]
SCARLETT: She is like
the strongest person I know.
SCARLETT: She put herself
through hell and back,
just so we could
have a good life,
and made me feel important
and like I mattered.
SCARLETT: I just literally
want to win this so I can
take care of her
for the rest of my life.
PRIYANKA: Jimbo, how about you?
JIMBO: Who do
I have rooting for me?
I have the people
of Vancouver Island,
I hope, are all rooting for me.
Everyone in BC,
and then Kitchener-Waterloo,
and all the people of London,
probably fans across Canada,
so probably just a few
thousand people or so.
[laughter]
RITA: I don't think
you got the question right.
PRIYANKA: Yeah.
Can we get a rewrite on the
question, please, for Jimbo?
JIMBO: Have any of you guys
walked in a ball before?
RITA: I walked in a ball once.
Do you know what was
the theme of the ball?
SCARLETT: What?
RITA: Winter Ball.
SCARLETT: Shut up.
RITA: And I won best-dressed.
PRIYANKA: Hey!
PRIYANKA: The ballroom
scene celebrates
all types of gender expressions,
all types of bodies,
all types of skin colours.
JIMBO: Do you think you're
gonna do it again, Rita?
RITA: Tonight?
JIMBO: Yeah.
RITA: We'll see.
RITA: These balls were a place
where queer people of colour
could reclaim signifiers
of white privileges, in general,
and could feel safe.
PRIYANKA: Categories
like Executive Realness
gave queer people of colour
space to play
the part of what
white people were doing
because they couldn't
get those jobs back then.
RITA: These were job positions
that were not allowed
for people of colour,
in general.
RITA: All the terms that
we are using in this show,
and just in our common language,
drag terms like shade.
PRIYANKA: Serve.
JIMBO: Eleganza.
SCARLETT: Sickening!
RITA: It all comes from
the ballroom culture.
SCARLETT: Ball culture is
about community, diversity,
and togetherness,
so it's just really beautiful.
SCARLETT: It's just fierce.
Like, everyone's
just like so full of love.
PRIYANKA: I'm excited
for this ball.
Jimbo, how about you?
JIMBO: I like my looks,
but I'm nervous about my makeup.
It's not what I had in mind,
and I don't like how I look,
and there's nothing
I can do at this point.
I don't know what to do.
I look hideous.
PRIYANKA: Oh, no.
You can run but you can't hide
from Michelle Visage.
JIMBO: Okay, stay calm.
Everything is fine.
PRIYANKA: It's literally
the road to the finale,
so whatever we
throw on ourselves,
you need to look like
you have what it takes
to be the winner of
this entire competition.

MICHELLE: Yes!
And supermodel Stacey McKenzie,
how do you like the snow?
STACEY: Michelle, girl,
just like how I like my men:
freshly powdered

MICHELLE: Ooh, yes,
we like a groomed man.
Miss Brooke Lynn Hytes,
looking fantastic
on that side of the runway.
Are you ready for this snow?
BROOKE LYNN: Absolutely!
I got 9 inches last night.
MICHELLE: [laughs]
This week, the queens
were challenged to serve
three looks on the runway
in the Snow Ball.
I've been waiting
a long time to do this.
Gentlemen, start your engines,
and may the best woman win!
Category is: Executive
Holiday Party Realness.
First up, Jimbo.
JIMBO: This CEO means business.
I am ready to party,
and ready to share my
goods with all the employees.
Everyone's lining up
for this pink slip.
MICHELLE: She should try
a shoulder pad next time.

BROOKE LYNN: The '80s

MICHELLE: They were.

MICHELLE: Next is Rita Baga.
RITA: It's the end

BROOKE LYNN: She has
perfect hunty-hunty vision.
RITA: She has bills to pay,

BROOKE LYNN: Aw!
May she rest.
MICHELLE: When life gives

MICHELLE: And now, Priyanka.
PRIYANKA: She is Brenda

MICHELLE: She's already
been decked, kiddo.

BROOKE LYNN: Deep breaths,
keep it in.
MICHELLE: I can smell
that outfit from here.
BROOKE LYNN: I don't know.
It's a little ornamental for me.
MICHELLE: And finally,
Scarlett BoBo.
JEFFREY: Walk in the club,
gift first.
Bam!
SCARLETT: I am
working the runway.
I've had way too many
cocktails at this stupid party,
and I was about to give
everybody their bonuses,
but instead, I decided
to burn all the money.
I love being rich!
MICHELLE: Do you have some
sort of business woman special?
MICHELLE: Next category,
Apres the Apres Ski,
the Icy Walk of Shame.
Jimbo.
JEFFREY: Ooh, y'all a yeti!
MICHELLE: Ooh!
JIMBO: The fantasy is
Apres the Apres Ski.
I have partied so hard,
I've wet myself.
I've got toilet paper on my
shoe, and a condom in my hair.
I have left five parties,
and I'm headed to five more.
STACEY: Check out
that ski booty.
MICHELLE: Punky Brewster,
the slutty years.
BROOKE LYNN: Oh, that's
where my pizza went.
MICHELLE: Rita Baga.
RITA: Tonight she's
serving a mullet fantasy.
STACEY: The patchouli smell
must be making her nauseous.
BROOKE LYNN: I don't
need to see that!
MICHELLE: Give her another take!
RITA: She had too many beers.
She fell asleep on the couch,
and she woke up like this.
BROOKE LYNN: Somebody get
this lesbian a kombucha, stat!
And I

MICHELLE: And now, Priyanka.
JEFFREY: Oh, quilted
for her pleasure.
PRIYANKA: She's in shambles.
She's still drunk,
but she's looking at
Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman
being like,
"I have one more round in me.
Are you in?"
BROOKE LYNN: I wonder how many
dead babies are in her hair?
MICHELLE: Guys,
is this Canadian fashion or?
[laughter]
MICHELLE: Scarlett BoBo.
SCARLETT: I've got icicles
hanging from my hair.
I am giving you snow bunny,
just got pounded and left out
in the cold realness.
STACEY: It's Frosty,
the Snow Ho.
MICHELLE: This is what
happens when Elsa drinks
too much Patrone.
Just let it go, girl.
JEFFREY: Just let it go.
MICHELLE: Final category
is Ice Queen Eleganza.
First up, Jimbo.
JIMBO: I'm feeling like
Glenda, the good bitch,
in this regal royal realness.
STACEY: Oh look,
it's the ice vampire.
JEFFREY: How
the cinch stole Christmas.
JIMBO: My crown is totally
cumbersome and made of crap,
and I feel like a real queen.
MICHELLE: Get her to a hospital.
She's crowning.
Next is Rita Baga.
BROOKE LYNN: Oh, that's
where I left my menorah.
RITA: This dress is not
easy to walk with, but
she's selling it,
one little step at a time.
JEFFREY: The speed limits
are slower in Quebec.
MICHELLE: Priyanka.
PRIYANKA: I am giving you
iceberg Titanic sinking fantasy.
JEFFREY: Ooh, she went
for a polar bear dip.
PRIYANKA: Look at me,
covered in bullshit,
and this beautiful paper skirt
that you can't even tell
it's paper, it's so beautiful.

MICHELLE: Now it's time
for the judges' critiques.
♪
JEFFREY: Michelle Visage,
what are your thoughts on Jimbo?
MICHELLE: That gold
jacket was magical.
The fit was beautiful.
The shoulders were ridiculous.
It was beautifully drag.
A CEO of what company,
I don't know.
Maybe a brothel.
[laughter]
MICHELLE: But I had fun with it.
JIMBO: Thank you.
STACEY: Your second outfit,
I really loved the bodice.
I loved that you actually
went different
with the shoes this time.
It wasn't a stiletto heel.
It was a chunky heel.
MICHELLE: And you
did it over the top,
which again
is very draggy.
JIMBO: Thank you.
BROOKE LYNN: Ice queen eleganza,
it would have been nice
if you could have walked in it.
It was awkward on the runway.
Also, your headpiece
kept almost falling off,
so it seemed like
you kept fiddling with things
the entire time
you were on the runway,
and you couldn't really properly
be there and model the garment.
JIMBO: Yeah, I apologize.
MICHELLE: I do have
an issue with your makeup
being very white,
as opposed to your body.
Is this a choice that
you consciously make?
JIMBO: I just like
the way it looks.
MICHELLE: Carry it down
so it makes sense.
It's like when you tan,
bring the tan down,
so just make it match.
JIMBO: Okay.
JEFFREY: Next up, Rita Baga.
RITA: Bonjour.
JEFFREY: Your first look, I love
the character and the energy
that you brought to it,
but I 100% expected a reveal.
It was all just a little simple.
MICHELLE: Your Apres Ski
Walk of Shame,
I thought it was hilarious.
It was performance art.
It belonged in a one-woman show.
I don't know about here on
the main stage of Drag Race.
You know,
we're bottom feeders.
It's just the way that we are.
[laughter]
JEFFREY: As for this look
tonight, it's so well done,
but the fact
that you can't walk in it
really does take away from it.
I want to see you stomp this
runway, and unfortunately,
in this garment, you were
just unable to do so.
STACEY: I love
the ice on the bodice.
One little tip I would give you,
I would have loved if you
would have carried that ice
look behind the bodice,
at the back as well, because
when you were walking away,
you could see the sponge.
RITA: Mm-hm.
BROOKE LYNN: I love
the big shoulder.
I love your eye makeup.
I love the crown.
I wish there was a waist.
You don't have an ass pad in,
I take it.
RITA: Uh, I do have one.
It's really small.
MICHELLE: A really easy way to
take care of a self-structured
corset is to over-pad your hips
because if you
give us more here,
it'll make that look
smaller by default.
JEFFREY: Next up, Priyanka.
PRIYANKA: Hello!
STACEY: Okay, the CEO look,
oh my gosh, jokes.
PRIYANKA: I love Christmas.
[laughter]
STACEY: Yeah,
you do love Christmas.
JEFFREY: I mean everything down
to like the Christmas lights
around your neck,
as the necklace,
I got exactly
who that woman was,
and I wanted to
party with her.
BROOKE LYNN: It was hysterical.
You were just bouncing
all over the place,
making sure everyone
was having a good time.
The second look,
I loved the character switch.
You went from so over-the-top
to "I'm still drunk
"and I'm going home,"
but make it fashion.
PRIYANKA: I've been both
those people before.
JEFFREY: I must be seeing
something different,
because it wasn't my
favourite look, you know?
I get that you had
a fun night last night.
You were still drunk,
but I didn't quite know
who she was,
if that makes sense.
MICHELLE: She was
a whore, Jeffrey.
JEFFREY: She was a whore.
Got it, got it, got it, okay.
BROOKE LYNN: A
well-dressed whore.
JEFFREY: That makes
so much more sense.
Thank you, Michelle.
MICHELLE: You're welcome.
I've been a slut
for many, many years.
I've done that walk of shame.
Loved the maple leaf on the belt
and the tinsel in the hair.
You were fashion but funny,
and I loved that you
were still in character.
That's so important to me.
Especially as a drag queen,
you're selling a product,
and the product is you.
Give them a show every time.
You know, that's
what it's about.
BROOKE LYNN: The
ice queen eleganza, um
it's essentially a bodysuit
covered in Christmas ornaments,
and you had trouble
walking in that.
You kept stepping on it.
PRIYANKA: Yes.
STACEY: I was hoping
you would have come out
very couture-like.
PRIYANKA: Okay.
STACEY: Like right now,
put your hands on your waist.
Arch your back.
MICHELLE: No, doesn't
make it better. [laughter]
MICHELLE: You know
I have a pet peeve,
and my pet peeve is bodysuits
with stuff stuck on it.
Every drag queen in the world,
including myself,
has a spangly bodysuit because
it's easy, you know it'll work,
it'll always be a showstopper,
but this is Canada's Drag Race,
so we push a little bit further.
And when you came out, though,
you were really
trying to sell it.
PRIYANKA: I was trying to
sell fake DVDs on the corner.
MICHELLE: 100%.
But the hair, the makeup,
carrying it down
to your shoulders, that's what
you need, and you're doing it.
PRIYANKA: Thank you.
JEFFREY: And last,
but not least, Scarlett BoBo.
STACEY: What I loved about
all your looks, in general,
is that you brought
that BoBo flair to it,
but we never lose you,
so that was really good
and really refreshing.
SCARLETT: Thank you.
STACEY: I loved your CEO outfit.
You're the only one
that did a full-on suit,
and it was well made.
It fit you perfectly.
JEFFREY: I didn't necessarily
get holiday from the CEO look,
but you looked spectacular.
Your makeup was beautiful.
I loved the hair.
It was really well done.
BROOKE LYNN: You were just
that bitch at the party.
You're like,
"Drinks for everybody!"
SCARLETT: "No one
gets their bonuses!"
BROOKE LYNN: Yeah.
[laughter]
JEFFREY: You looked spectacular.
MICHELLE: Your Apres ski
moment again was a bodysuit,
but your curves were
ferocious in it.
The rubbery icicles were fun.
JEFFREY: Icicles, is that
what we're calling it?
MICHELLE: Mm-hm, yeah.
JEFFREY: The "icicles."
BROOKE LYNN: It was like
a bukkake gang bang,
and then you just got left out
in the snow. [laughter]
MICHELLE: That'll
get edited out.
BROOKE LYNN: Yeah.
Your third look, I love this.
You're like
a rocker white walker.
MICHELLE: It's very
different to everybody else,
where you kind of went
the rock and roll route,
and everybody else
went more for glamour.
And this is glamourous
SCARLETT: Yeah.
MICHELLE: but in
a punk rock type of way.
I enjoyed it.
SCARLETT: Thank you very much.
BROOKE LYNN: I'm really
proud of you tonight.
It's been a slow trajectory for
you, but you've kept climbing,
and you should be
very proud of yourself.
SCARLETT: I am.
I've never even looked
at a sewing machine,
so I was like really proud
of myself tonight,

I don't know what came over me!
PRIYANKA: I never said
I was a good design queen.
SCARLETT: Are you drunk?
Did you eat today?
JIMBO: She's wasted.
She just drank two of those
at once, and we haven't eaten.
PRIYANKA: Were they double?
[burps]
Oh gosh, I just threw up.
JIMBO: Can you believe it?
This is our last moment
together as top four.
RITA: It's amazing.
How do you feel about it?
SCARLETT: It's just weird.
Just like after this,
it's top three,
and that's like the end.
PRIYANKA: Is there more vodka?
Can I get a refill?
PRIYANKA: Michelle Visage
says I'm pretty.
JIMBO: Up here.
PRIYANKA: [laughs]
JEFFREY: Just between us
snow angels, what do you think,
starting with Jimbo?
BROOKE LYNN: I was really
disappointed in Jimbo this week,
especially because we've
gotten such wonderful,
iconic runway looks from her
this season, so far.
STACEY: The looks that
she's come with before
were very haute couture,
and these three looks
for me were just very bland,
and I feel like Jimbo
has gotten comfortable,
and this is not a time
for her to get comfortable,
being in the top four.
JEFFREY: Every look was just
missing some element of polish,
and that's been
a constant critique for Jimbo
throughout the course
of the season.
STACEY: She messed up.
JEFFREY: Moving on
to Rita Baga.
BROOKE LYNN: There was
nothing about that first look
that I liked.
MICHELLE: Mm.
I didn't even understand.
I felt like she worked
at Costco or something,
and it just, it didn't open.
It was very closed off.
BROOKE LYNN: It was so dowdy,
and with the pink glasses
it was completely mismatched.
She should have gone camp,
or she should have gone serious.
STACEY: Yes, she has
her character down,
but then she's not
bringing the looks.
It's just too much.
It's just too messy.
And at the end of the day,
this is a drag competition.
She's doing drag so she has to
come fully equipped and ready.
MICHELLE: When she
came out apres ski,
I thought it was really
funny and really smart.
Is it Drag Race?
No.
JEFFREY: And yet, I would still
by a ticket to go see that show.
MICHELLE: I would buy two.
BROOKE LYNN: And then
the third look,
I don't know how many times
I've said it to girls,
they need to cinch
their waist in
or wear bigger hip pads
or something to just
create that illusion.
MICHELLE: Now, as we get
further in the world,
padding has become
a topic of conversation,
but what it does do
is takes us, as viewers,
further into the illusion.
Do you have to do it?
No.
Does it help?
On Drag Race, yeah.
JEFFREY: Priyanka.
BROOKE LYNN: Well, the first
look so funny and enjoyable,
and I just love watching her,
that smile.
MICHELLE: Beautiful.
BROOKE LYNN: She
connects with you.
STACEY: Oh, yeah.
BROOKE LYNN: And she's
not afraid to look at you.
MICHELLE: Her apres ski
was my favourite.
She was drunk as a skunk.
She somehow made
a parka into a dress,
and you'd only see that here
on Canada's Drag Race.
I bought it
hook, line, and sinker.
Ice Queen Eleganza, the fact
that she put paper on a bodysuit
and tried to pull it off
for an eleganza
is a little bit
concerning to me.
BROOKE LYNN: The ball is
one of the biggest challenges
in Drag Race,
and then she comes out in that?
MICHELLE: I really can't
forgive that outfit.
JEFFREY: Scarlett BoBo.
BROOKE LYNN: I thought her
looks tonight were wonderful.
I loved the power suit.
She was a bitchy boss,
and I bought it 100%.
MICHELLE: Her apres ski
was so fun,
and so comedic
the way she delivered it.
STACEY: What I really
love about Scarlett BoBo
is that she stays
true to herself.
She owns who she is.
She loves who she is.
And she is not afraid
to be who she is.
JEFFREY: I think she's peaking
at just the right time.
MICHELLE: It's
a great time to peak.
For her ice queen
eleganza, everybody else,
when they hear "eleganza,"
they think,
"Oh, gown.
I need to be regal."
And she came out
the way she came out.
BROOKE LYNN: Yeah, she took
a completely different direction
than everyone else did,
and did more of a punk rock
ice princess,
which is so Scarlett BoBo.
STACEY: She killed it
tonight on the runway.
BROOKE LYNN: Yup.
JEFFREY: Alright, I think
we've made a decision.
Bring back our snowflakes.
BROOKE LYNN: [loon call]
MICHELLE: Definitely
the sound of a loon.
[laughter]
MICHELLE: Welcome back, ladies.
JEFFREY: All four of you
brought frosty looks tonight,

STACEY: Next category,
Apres the Apres Ski,
the Icy Walk of Shame.
SCARLETT: Yes!
RITA: Story of my life.
STACEY: And
the final category
Oh, pit crew!
[wolf whistle]
SCARLETT: Uh-oh.
Damn.
STACEY: Oh, I love my job.
[laughs]
PRIYANKA: Ha-ha!
STACEY: For your final look,
you'll be serving your best
Ice Queen Eleganza
SCARLETT: Oh, hm
SCARLETT: Please don't make
this a sewing challenge.
Please, please,
please, please, please.
STACEY: which you'll
have to make from scratch.
SCARLETT: Argh!
STACEY: For this challenge,
you could use your own
heels and wigs, fabric
from the Fabricland wall,
plus jewels from LAG Concepts,
and any of these wintery items
that the pit crew brought in.
Speaking of pit crew,
you may go.
SCARLETT: Byeee!
STACEY: Gentlemen,
start your engines,
and may the best woman win.
SCARLETT: Yes, girl.
Aah!
PRIYANKA: Ding, ding, ding!
PRIYANKA: Do you want icicles?
Take me some of those.
SCARLETT: The theme
for this ball is the Snow Ball.
SCARLETT: Oh, this is cute.
PRIYANKA: First category
is Holiday C-E-Ho!
SCARLETT: The second look
is Apres the Apres Ski,
the Icy Walk of Shame.
PRIYANKA: Ooh!
PRIYANKA: And the final
category is Ice Queen Eleganza.
PRIYANKA: Y'all want a hat?
PRIYANKA: This category
is very important
because it's the look
that you're gonna be in
when the judges decide
if you have what it takes
to make it to the finale.
And guess what?
We have to make it from scratch.
I could cut this
tension with a knife!
SCARLETT: Can
I steal some of that?
JIMBO: No, sorry.
I love you,
but I need $100,000.
SCARLETT: [evil laugh]
RITA: My sisters,
they are fierce competition.
BoBo is really punk rock, gothy.
SCARLETT: Look at these.
RITA: Priyanka is glamour,
you know, a pop star.
PRIYANKA: Look, I made a panty!
RITA: Jimbo, he's extravagant
and fashion-forward.
My look is not subtle, it's
not discreet, and very loud.
So we are four different people
with four different styles,
so I have to bring
my best to, you know,
put this crown
on top of my head.
PRIYANKA: I'm working
on my final look,
which is Beyonce-inspired.
My designing abilities,
I'm okay, but when it comes to
sewing, sewing is really hard,
so I'm literally
gonna glue anything
I can find to this corset,
because
I gotta hide the fact
that I'm just wearing a corset.
PRIYANKA: I need
more snowflakes.
Oh, I could use some of this
for some texture.
Oh my god, and these too.
SCARLETT: Priyanka is like
just gluing shit to a corset.
Ha.
That's not gonna get you
into this finale, honey.
PRIYANKA: Tropical Christmas.
PRIYANKA: I'm just gonna
embellish the out of it,
and sell it.
PRIYANKA: Merry Christmas.

JIMBO: Have you ever been
to an apres ski party before?
PRIYANKA: No.
JIMBO: Wow.
PRIYANKA: When was
the last time you saw a POC
at the ski hill, bitch?
No.
JIMBO: It's the most
amazing party.
PRIYANKA: That's white
people behaviour.
PRIYANKA: [sputters]
SCARLETT: Oh my god,
this is major!
SCARLETT: I'm so excited to have
made it to a Drag Race ball.
SCARLETT: This is
literally gay Christmas.
This is so major.
SCARLETT: We have
a limited time to make
extravaganza look
for the runway,
but I have zero
sewing experience.
SCARLETT: I kind of want to like
go as like a Viking,
like something some like
sexy Christmas Viking.
So Jimbo
JIMBO: Yeah?
SCARLETT: It I wanted to
just make this into a shawl,
could I potentially just like
and cut a hole here?
JIMBO: You're not gonna
have your shoulder.
You'll just have a big bag.
SCARLETT: Huh?
JIMBO: BoBo doesn't know
much about costume design,
and I know that
she gets stressed out,
and I don't want
her to flip out.
SCARLETT: I don't know
what the I'm doing.
Oh!
JIMBO: It's gonna be worse for
me not to help, at this point.
JIMBO: The cape is made
out of four pieces.
SCARLETT: But there's
only one piece of fur.
JIMBO: Yeah, but you cut
the one piece into four pieces.
SCARLETT: There
is no four pieces.
JIMBO: This is four pieces.
It's your two centre back,
and the front is cut here.
Four pieces.
SCARLETT: And if I only
have one piece of fur?
JIMBO: No, if you
have one piece of fur,
you cut your one piece
of fur into four pieces.
SCARLETT: Huh?
JIMBO: [laughs]
SCARLETT: You just spoke
a totally different language.
SCARLETT: I hate this.
I'm not a seamstress.
SCARLETT: This is hard.

Sucks.

STACEY: I'm back!
JIMBO: Hey!
RITA: Hello!
STACEY: Did you miss me?
PRIYANKA: Yes.
JIMBO: Yeah.
SCARLETT: Duh!
STACEY: You better.
PRIYANKA: Oh-ho-ho!
STACEY: Hi, Miss Baga.
RITA: Hello.
STACEY: You've won
the last two design challenges.
I'm sure you're feeling
the pressure even more now.
RITA: I'm still
heading to the crown,
so it's one challenge at a time.
I go week by week.
STACEY: Has it surprised you
being in the final four?
RITA: I'm very humble,
but I'm not surprised
because I've been
STACEY: What?
RITA: very focused
since the beginning.
It might be seen as,
you know, being quiet,
but at the same time, it helps
me to really focus on the goal
and to respect the challenges.
STACEY: Tell me about this ice
queen eleganza you're making.
RITA: I'm going for
a high fashion punk look,
but still queen-esque.
STACEY: Why the punk look?
RITA: It suits me well, I think,
so I'm trying to respect
the objective and the goals
of this challenge,
but make it my own.
STACEY: So, what would
winning mean to you?
RITA: I'll be the very first
French-speaking to win.
It's also the result of
13 years of hard work.
You know, I really do appreciate
all the different things
you told me that I should
work on, you know,
not standing like this,
and try to focus,
and think about
hotdogs when I walk,
so it makes me look happy.
STACEY: Think about the hotdogs.
[laughs]
RITA: Yeah.
I'm a hotdog lover.
STACEY: Anyways, that's
another story, alright?
RITA: Thank you.
STACEY: Get back to work.
RITA: Thank you,
thank you, thank you.
STACEY: Hi, Priyanka.
How are you feeling?
PRIYANKA: To be a part
of a ball is an honour.
We all want to be
a part of the ball.
STACEY: True, true.
Are you surprised to be here?
PRIYANKA: It was
a little rocky.
I had really high highs,
really low lows.
Having low moments in this
competition, it messes with you.
I came from a background
of like improv, so imagine,
to my surprise, when I bombed
both of the improv challenges
in this competition.
STACEY: That must have
messed with your head big-time.
PRIYANKA: Luckily, this
competition is a playground
to grow, because from that,
I grew so much.
STACEY: Pat yourself
on the back for that.
PRIYANKA: A-a-a-a-a
STACEY: And the front.
PRIYANKA: And the front!
[both laugh]
STACEY: What would
winning mean to you?
PRIYANKA: It would be
everything, you know?
I worked two jobs
for a long time.
I was like hosting kids TV
during the day and that,
and then at night,
I'd be turning up
at the clubs as Priyanka.
STACEY: What? [laughs]
Whoa.
PRIYANKA: I left my kids TV job
to do drag full-time,
so it would be life-changing.
It really, really would.
But also, representing,
you know, our queer POCs.
I want to take all that money
and put on great shows
for them too, you know?
STACEY: Yeah.
PRIYANKA: So that's why
making it for the final four
and that much closer
to the finale is like
Oh Ooh, I can just feel it.
I can taste it.
STACEY: Your hard work
is paying off.
PRIYANKA: Yes, it is.
STACEY: Tell me about your
ice queen eleganza outfit.
PRIYANKA: This is
gonna be covered,
and then we're gonna have
a giant skirt, and a jewel,
but I don't want to
tell you everything
'cause I want you
to be surprised.
STACEY: Yeah, yeah,
don't tell me anything.
Alright,
I'll leave you to it.
I look forward to seeing
you on the runway.
STACEY: Hi, BoBo.
How are you feeling?
STACEY: It's been
a really weird experience.
I came with a solid
plan and, you know,
walking through those doors,
everything kind of like
switched around on me
because, you know,
you don't know what to expect.
STACEY: Well, listen,
you're here in the final four.
That fire that got lit under
you, you really ran with it,
so whatever you're doing, you're
doing it well, but you know,
it's still a competition,
and there still has to be
one winner, so what
are you gonna do different
this time around?
SCARLETT: I'm not gonna
hold back anything.
There were times
when I was like,
"Oh, maybe I shouldn't
put that on,"
or "Maybe I should
take that off,"
and I'm just going
with my gut this time,
because at this point,
there's no other option.
STACEY: I want to
ask you something.
What kind of work have
you done in the community?
SCARLETT: I try to use
my platform as much as I can,
and I've always made sure
to give not just drag queens,
non-binary performers,
alternative queens, drag kings,
I've just been trying
to give more back
because when I started, I didn't
have that kind of chance.
STACEY: It's really good that
you're helping your community
and helping others
so early because
it will truly make a difference.
SCARLETT: I had a really
shitty childhood growing up,
and you know, drag was
the only thing that made me feel
like I took up space,
and I was important.
There's no rules.
There's no walls.
There's no limits.
You can be who you are.
You can be as weird as you want,
as glamourous as you want,
as freaky as you want.
And you can do that
all in the same night,
if you really wanted to.
[laughter]
SCARLETT: Drag is
just beautiful.
STACEY: All the best,
and see you on the stage.
SCARLETT: I love you.
STACEY: Aw.
SCARLETT: I'll see you tomorrow!
STACEY: Alrighty.
STACEY: Hi, Jimbo!
JIMBO: Stacey, how are you?
STACEY: So how are you feeling?
JIMBO: Great, yeah.
I'm really excited.
I have some really good looks
that you are going to love.
STACEY: Really?
Oh, nice.
JIMBO: I'm gonna make
a gown that hugs my body,
and hugs your mind.
STACEY: Has it surprised you
being in the top four?
JIMBO: No.
Did I hope to be
in the top four?
Yes.
And do I hope to win?
Definitely.
Yeah, I hope to win
this entire competition.
STACEY: What are you
goals with your drag?
JIMBO: I'm a clown at my root.
I don't really do
a lot of rehearsing.
It's all about surprise.
Jimbo is who I am in the world,
so really, for me,
it's mostly about
characterization
and pushing the boundaries
through storytelling
and costuming.
STACEY: I'm gonna
leave you to continue.
JIMBO: You don't want to help?
STACEY: I'm a model.
I wear the clothes.
I don't make it.
[laughter]
STACEY: Ladies, gather 'round!
Tomorrow on the main stage,
you'll walk the runway

sits on the panel beside RuPaul.
She knows what it takes
to win this competition.

DRAG QUEEN: I know.
Sorry.
MICHELLE: It's either a leotard

all types of bodies,
all types of skin colours.

gonna do it again, Rita?
RITA: Tonight?
JIMBO: Yeah.
RITA: We'll see.
RITA: These balls were a place
where queer people of colour
could reclaim signifiers
of white privileges, in general,
and could feel safe.
PRIYANKA: Categories
like Executive Realness
gave queer people of colour
space to play
the part of what
white people were doing
because they couldn't
get those jobs back then.
RITA: These were job positions
that were not allowed
for people of colour,
in general.
RITA: All the terms that
we are using in this show,
and just in our common language,
drag terms like shade.
PRIYANKA: Serve.
JIMBO: Eleganza.
SCARLETT: Sickening!
RITA: It all comes from
the ballroom culture.
SCARLETT: Ball culture is
about community, diversity,
and togetherness,

SCARLETT: It's just fierce.
Like, everyone's
just like so full of love.
PRIYANKA: I'm excited
for this ball.
Jimbo, how about you?
JIMBO: I like my looks,
but I'm nervous about my makeup.
It's not what I had in mind,
and I don't like how I look,
and there's nothing
I can do at this point.
I don't know what to do.
I look hideous.

You can run but you can't hide

for the judges' critiques.
♪
JEFFREY: Michelle Visage,
what are your thoughts on Jimbo?
MICHELLE: That gold
jacket was magical.
The fit was beautiful.
The shoulders were ridiculous.
It was beautifully drag.
A CEO of what company,
I don't know.
Maybe a brothel.
[laughter]
MICHELLE: But I had fun with it.
JIMBO: Thank you.
STACEY: Your second outfit,
I really loved the bodice.
I loved that you actually
went different
with the shoes this time.
It wasn't a stiletto heel.
It was a chunky heel.
MICHELLE: And you
did it over the top,
which again
is very draggy.
JIMBO: Thank you.
BROOKE LYNN: Ice queen eleganza,
it would have been nice
if you could have walked in it.
It was awkward on the runway.
Also, your headpiece
kept almost falling off,
so it seemed like
you kept fiddling with things
the entire time
you were on the runway,
and you couldn't really properly
be there and model the garment.
JIMBO: Yeah, I apologize.
MICHELLE: I do have
an issue with your makeup
being very white,
as opposed to your body.
Is this a choice that
you consciously make?
JIMBO: I just like
the way it looks.
MICHELLE: Carry it down
so it makes sense.
It's like when you tan,
bring the tan down,
so just make it match.
JIMBO: Okay.
JEFFREY: Next up, Rita Baga.
RITA: Bonjour.
JEFFREY: Your first look, I love
the character and the energy
that you brought to it,
but I 100% expected a reveal.
It was all just a little simple.
MICHELLE: Your Apres Ski
Walk of Shame,
I thought it was hilarious.
It was performance art.
It belonged in a one-woman show.
I don't know about here on
the main stage of Drag Race.
You know,
we're bottom feeders.
It's just the way that we are.
[laughter]
JEFFREY: As for this look
tonight, it's so well done,
but the fact
that you can't walk in it
really does take away from it.
I want to see you stomp this
runway, and unfortunately,
in this garment, you were
just unable to do so.
STACEY: I love
the ice on the bodice.
One little tip I would give you,
I would have loved if you
would have carried that ice
look behind the bodice,
at the back as well, because
when you were walking away,
you could see the sponge.
RITA: Mm-hm.
BROOKE LYNN: I love
the big shoulder.
I love your eye makeup.
I love the crown.
I wish there was a waist.
You don't have an ass pad in,
I take it.
RITA: Uh, I do have one.
It's really small.
MICHELLE: A really easy way to
take care of a self-structured
corset is to over-pad your hips
because if you
give us more here,
it'll make that look
smaller by default.
JEFFREY: Next up, Priyanka.
PRIYANKA: Hello!
STACEY: Okay, the CEO look,
oh my gosh, jokes.
PRIYANKA: I love Christmas.
[laughter]
STACEY: Yeah,
you do love Christmas.
JEFFREY: I mean everything down
to like the Christmas lights
around your neck,
as the necklace,
I got exactly
who that woman was,
and I wanted to
party with her.
BROOKE LYNN: It was hysterical.
You were just bouncing
all over the place,
making sure everyone
was having a good time.
The second look,
I loved the character switch.
You went from so over-the-top
to "I'm still drunk
"and I'm going home,"
but make it fashion.
PRIYANKA: I've been both
those people before.
JEFFREY: I must be seeing
something different,
because it wasn't my
favourite look, you know?
I get that you had
a fun night last night.
You were still drunk,
but I didn't quite know
who she was,
if that makes sense.
MICHELLE: She was
a whore, Jeffrey.
JEFFREY: She was a whore.
Got it, got it, got it, okay.
BROOKE LYNN: A
well-dressed whore.
JEFFREY: That makes
so much more sense.
Thank you, Michelle.
MICHELLE: You're welcome.
I've been a slut
for many, many years.
I've done that walk of shame.
Loved the maple leaf on the belt
and the tinsel in the hair.
You were fashion but funny,
and I loved that you
were still in character.
That's so important to me.
Especially as a drag queen,
you're selling a product,
and the product is you.
Give them a show every time.
You know, that's
what it's about.
BROOKE LYNN: The
ice queen eleganza, um
it's essentially a bodysuit
covered in Christmas ornaments,
and you had trouble
walking in that.
You kept stepping on it.
PRIYANKA: Yes.
STACEY: I was hoping
you would have come out
very couture-like.
PRIYANKA: Okay.
STACEY: Like right now,
put your hands on your waist.
Arch your back.
MICHELLE: No, doesn't
make it better. [laughter]
MICHELLE: You know
I have a pet peeve,
and my pet peeve is bodysuits
with stuff stuck on it.
Every drag queen in the world,
including myself,
has a spangly bodysuit because
it's easy, you know it'll work,
it'll always be a showstopper,
but this is Canada's Drag Race,
so we push a little bit further.
And when you came out, though,
you were really
trying to sell it.
PRIYANKA: I was trying to
sell fake DVDs on the corner.
MICHELLE: 100%.
But the hair, the makeup,
carrying it down
to your shoulders, that's what
you need, and you're doing it.
PRIYANKA: Thank you.
JEFFREY: And last,
but not least, Scarlett BoBo.
STACEY: What I loved about
all your looks, in general,
is that you brought
that BoBo flair to it,
but we never lose you,
so that was really good
and really refreshing.
SCARLETT: Thank you.
STACEY: I loved your CEO outfit.
You're the only one
that did a full-on suit,
and it was well made.
It fit you perfectly.
JEFFREY: I didn't necessarily
get holiday from the CEO look,
but you looked spectacular.
Your makeup was beautiful.
I loved the hair.
It was really well done.
BROOKE LYNN: You were just
that bitch at the party.
You're like,
"Drinks for everybody!"
SCARLETT: "No one
gets their bonuses!"
BROOKE LYNN: Yeah.
[laughter]
JEFFREY: You looked spectacular.
MICHELLE: Your Apres ski
moment again was a bodysuit,
but your curves were
ferocious in it.
The rubbery icicles were fun.
JEFFREY: Icicles, is that
what we're calling it?
MICHELLE: Mm-hm, yeah.
JEFFREY: The "icicles."
BROOKE LYNN: It was like
a bukkake gang bang,
and then you just got left out
in the snow. [laughter]
MICHELLE: That'll
get edited out.
BROOKE LYNN: Yeah.
Your third look, I love this.
You're like
a rocker white walker.
MICHELLE: It's very
different to everybody else,
where you kind of went
the rock and roll route,
and everybody else
went more for glamour.
And this is glamourous
SCARLETT: Yeah.
MICHELLE: but in
a punk rock type of way.
I enjoyed it.
SCARLETT: Thank you very much.
BROOKE LYNN: I'm really
proud of you tonight.
It's been a slow trajectory for
you, but you've kept climbing,
and you should be
very proud of yourself.
SCARLETT: I am.
I've never even looked
at a sewing machine,
so I was like really proud
of myself tonight,
so thank you.

by Michelle Visage.
JIMBO: I was waiting
for her to say,
"Excuse me, Miss, I think
you're in the wrong competition.
"Canada's Most Beautiful Whore
is being filmed
"in the other warehouse."
PRIYANKA: Meanwhile,
Michelle Visage is like,
"What's wrong with
your makeup?" [laughs]
PRIYANKA: Jimbo, like, I don't
understand this makeup journey
because usually
makeup gets better.
Why do you look worse
than the first day
you walked in the workroom?
But I'm in a paper skirt,
so who am I to talk?
JIMBO: I think this is hideous.
Top four, you show up
in this paper-ass piece of shit
with some bullshit
glued all up on the side,
and all around the back.
It's some piece of trash,
piece of bullshit, !
PRIYANKA: Hold this.
Hold my shit, hold my shit.

I'm so sorry.
PRIYANKA: Bitch, I'm gonna

know what came over--
I don't know what came over me!
PRIYANKA: I never said
I was a good design queen.
SCARLETT: Are you drunk?
Did you eat today?
JIMBO: She's wasted.
She just drank two of those
at once, and we haven't eaten.
PRIYANKA: Were they double?

Oh gosh, I just threw up.
JIMBO: Can you believe it?
This is our last moment
together as top four.
RITA: It's amazing.
How do you feel about it?

it's top three,

PRIYANKA: Is there more vodka?
Can I get a refill?
PRIYANKA: Michelle Visage
says I'm pretty.
JIMBO: Up here.
PRIYANKA: [laughs]
JEFFREY: Just between us
snow angels, what do you think,
starting with Jimbo?
BROOKE LYNN: I was really
disappointed in Jimbo this week,
especially because we've
gotten such wonderful,
iconic runway looks from her
this season, so far.
STACEY: The looks that
she's come with before
were very haute couture,
and these three looks
for me were just very bland,
and I feel like Jimbo
has gotten comfortable,
and this is not a time
for her to get comfortable,
being in the top four.
JEFFREY: Every look was just
missing some element of polish,
and that's been
a constant critique for Jimbo
throughout the course
of the season.
STACEY: She messed up.
JEFFREY: Moving on
to Rita Baga.
BROOKE LYNN: There was
nothing about that first look
that I liked.
MICHELLE: Mm.
I didn't even understand.
I felt like she worked
at Costco or something,
and it just, it didn't open.
It was very closed off.
BROOKE LYNN: It was so dowdy,
and with the pink glasses
it was completely mismatched.
She should have gone camp,
or she should have gone serious.
STACEY: Yes, she has
her character down,
but then she's not
bringing the looks.
It's just too much.
It's just too messy.
And at the end of the day,
this is a drag competition.
She's doing drag so she has to
come fully equipped and ready.
MICHELLE: When she
came out apres ski,
I thought it was really
funny and really smart.
Is it Drag Race?
No.
JEFFREY: And yet, I would still
by a ticket to go see that show.
MICHELLE: I would buy two.
BROOKE LYNN: And then
the third look,
I don't know how many times
I've said it to girls,
they need to cinch
their waist in
or wear bigger hip pads
or something to just
create that illusion.
MICHELLE: Now, as we get
further in the world,
padding has become
a topic of conversation,
but what it does do
is takes us, as viewers,
further into the illusion.
Do you have to do it?
No.
Does it help?
On Drag Race, yeah.
JEFFREY: Priyanka.
BROOKE LYNN: Well, the first
look so funny and enjoyable,
and I just love watching her,
that smile.
MICHELLE: Beautiful.
BROOKE LYNN: She
connects with you.
STACEY: Oh, yeah.
BROOKE LYNN: And she's
not afraid to look at you.
MICHELLE: Her apres ski
was my favourite.
She was drunk as a skunk.
She somehow made
a parka into a dress,
and you'd only see that here
on Canada's Drag Race.
I bought it
hook, line, and sinker.
Ice Queen Eleganza, the fact
that she put paper on a bodysuit
and tried to pull it off
for an eleganza
is a little bit
concerning to me.
BROOKE LYNN: The ball is
one of the biggest challenges
in Drag Race,
and then she comes out in that?
MICHELLE: I really can't
forgive that outfit.
JEFFREY: Scarlett BoBo.
BROOKE LYNN: I thought her
looks tonight were wonderful.
I loved the power suit.
She was a bitchy boss,
and I bought it 100%.
MICHELLE: Her apres ski
was so fun,
and so comedic
the way she delivered it.
STACEY: What I really
love about Scarlett BoBo
is that she stays
true to herself.
She owns who she is.
She loves who she is.
And she is not afraid
to be who she is.
JEFFREY: I think she's peaking
at just the right time.
MICHELLE: It's
a great time to peak.
For her ice queen
eleganza, everybody else,
when they hear "eleganza,"
they think,
"Oh, gown.
I need to be regal."
And she came out
the way she came out.
BROOKE LYNN: Yeah, she took
a completely different direction
than everyone else did,
and did more of a punk rock
ice princess,
which is so Scarlett BoBo.
STACEY: She killed it
tonight on the runway.
BROOKE LYNN: Yup.
JEFFREY: Alright, I think
we've made a decision.
Bring back our snowflakes.
BROOKE LYNN: [loon call]
