RUPAUL: Previously, on Canada's Drag Race...
CARSON: It's the return of the Reading Battles.
SALTINA: Hi, ladies and gentlemen.
Ah, whatever the fuck PM is.
PM: [laughing] EBONI: Thank you.
I am Eboni La'Belle and that's...
a man, Maury.
[laughing]
BROOKE: Eboni La'Belle, condragulations!
EBONI: Ah!
I have chose to save Dulce.
♪
BROOKE LYNN: PM, shantay, you stay.
Hazel, sashay away.
♪
PM: Oh, Hazel. QUEEN: Ooh!
PM: Hazel is gone and I feel like I just lost the
most important person in this game to me.
She didn't deserve to go yet.
"Well, fuck.
PM, you are the only bitch to put up a great fight.
Honoured to battle against you.
Bring it home to Vancouver.
Dulce, you're Lucky Bitch."
-Ooh! -[laughing] Girl, bye.
PM: "Love you all so much.
Season six sisters for life."
[laughing & cheering]
VELMA: Hazel!
VAN GOTH: Although I think it was her time to go,
I am sad to lose a sister here.
Girl, that first three alliance crumbled real fast.
EBONI: Girls, let's sit down and talk some shit.
VAN GOTH: Ah!
[laughing]
KARAMILK: Well, that lip sync was fucking incredible.
-Everything! -Bitch.
KARAMILK: You twirled down. PM: Thank you.
EBONI: You ate that shit. PM: Thank you.
MYA: Oh, yeah.
PM: I'm like very sad to have landed in the
bottom two, but I love
to perform. [laughing]
SAMI: PM has shown us that they almost have immunity
in this competition.
To be able to lip sync like that,
it feels like they're never gonna go home.
DULCE: Eboni, I'm so over the moon for you saving me.
I really appreciate it. Um, call it luck, call it...
whatever you want, Hazel- VAN GOTH: Oh.
DULCE: The tea is you were doing the worst
in the competition. VAN GOTH: Oh!
DULCE: You had landed in the bottom before and
you weren't funny, so you're home now.
Lucky for what?
Every single fucking challenge we've done,
I've done better than you. So lucky where?
Lucky that I'm more talented than you?
EBONI: Something I did take into consideration,
I wasn't sure what's coming up next week.
I mean, we still don't know.
I feel like it's gonna be something performance based,
and I know that's something that you're gonna kill at,
and also, Dulce hasn't got the beaver yet.
It was tough.
VAN: So what you're saying is you saved Dulce
'cause PM and Hazel are better performers.
DULCE: Girl, bye.
EBONI: I see PM as bigger competition
than Dulce, and so...
I'm gonna put them in the bottom.
It wasn't no shadiness. PM: No, well...
EBONI: Girl, it wasn't shadiness. This was low-
this was your second bottom. PM: Yeah.
And so, compared to Dulce with their first bottom.
PM: Okay.
Eboni's dead to me in this game.
She is a lovely individual,
but she took out my best friend.
She put me in the bottom. I'm not working with her.
Oh, I need to get out of drag because my skin is burning,
so let's go get out of drag, everybody.
-[cheering] -Let's go get out!
-[sighing] -Girl...
PM: I feel like this is my turning point
to stop playing nicely.
I think a few of us need to start talking alliance stuff
because I think there is something going on
beneath our toes here. MYA: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
PM: I have my eyes on that prize more so than ever.
Ah!
And I'm ready to stir the pot to
get some people out of here.
EBONI: I'm sorry I had to put you through that trauma
lip synching against your fucking good sis.
PM: It's okay.
I will lie. I will say I'm working with her
if she wants to even approach that.
She's my target.
SALTINA: Ah!
PM: PM...
Puppet Master.
Bet you didn't see that one coming.

Girl, shut up.
VELMA: I just want to say something.
I remember what Dulce you said
with your comeback.
DULCE: I'm surprised you know the word grandma 'cause
wasn't your mom an alcoholic and hated you?

You cannot go to my mom
and say things like that because...
I really felt shit after.
And I think it was really under the belt.
DULCE: Yeah, I'm sorry that,
if it felt like I was going for your trauma.
I mean, you mentioned me being poor.
I have trauma from that.

♪
DULCE: I feel really good.
I mean, obviously I feel a little sad that neither
of you really wanted me in your group.
I feel like when we kind of-
SALTINA: When did I say that?
DULCE: When we were standing out there and
me and Mya were separate,
none of you were like eager to like pull me in or be like
"Oh, Dulce, come here."
KARAMILK: Yeah, but you didn't do that to me either.
DULCE: When?
When we were, you were with Mya, you weren't-
DULCE: I literally was the one that went into your group.
KARAMILK: Girl, like it's not that serious.
[laughing] It is not that serious.
I honestly wasn't thinking twice.
I wanted to stay with Saltina... -She's trying to save face.
...so I was like either one of you has to come.
SALTINA: No, because she, she grabbed me first.
What I do want to do is that little shit like this
doesn't fucking matter...
because we need to do well in this challenge.
Well, my feelings do matter, so that's how I felt,
that's how I'm gonna talk- SALTINA: Oh, my god, okay.
DULCE: That part. KARAMILK: [laughing]
SALTINA: This is definitely not the energy
that I want to start with.
DULCE: Honestly, girl, go fuck yourself.
I'm gonna say how I feel...
and you're not gonna shut me up because
this is not the, "energy that you need."
DULCE: Saltina trying to silent non-white voices,
girl, not today.
SALTINA: Exactly what I was doing, yes.
KARAMILK: Girl, she's so annoying.
[laughing]
VAN GOTH: Okay, ladies. MYA: Let's do it.
We've got the winning team 'cause we're all winners.
EBONI: Period, period.
You know what actually about that?
I think that gives us like a little bit more pressure
this week because this is the thing,
we know the judges like us. VAN GOTH: Clock it.
MYA: Hell yes, there's a lot of pressure
being in a group with all winners.
Not only are the other girls looking at us because
they're waiting for us to trip up,
but at the same time,
I'm working with people who have already
proved themselves in this competition,
so I know that I need to work that much harder.
MYA: So how are you guys feeling about
the topic that we got? Is this-
Was this your number one choice or...?
EBONI: I'm actually happy with the topic.
VAN GOTH: I just didn't want the Couchside Kiki.
I just think a three-on-one interview is kind of...
a recipe for disaster. MYA: It's risky.
EBONI: I don't know how they'll do,
but they're all smiles over there, so...
maybe they'll do well.
But you can never trust a person that smiles too much,
you know. Like if you're always smiling, like,
what are you hiding?
Like they're over there like-
SFX: [twinkling]
Girl, that's why Star went home.
Too damn much- Heh-heh-heh-heh.
[laughing]
PM: Does anybody feel like
they really would love to moderate?
SAMI: I would love to moderate.
VELMA: Yeah? SAMI: I'd really love that.
I really hope that if I do a good job as the moderator,
that'll be my ticket to the win.
I think we do have a challenge...
because we're four people talking.
VELMA: Yeah, we have to be smart about it.
SAMI: We don't want to cut her off,
but we want to make sure that, at the end of the day,
it's us being evaluated and not her, you know.
PM: We're gonna have to listen even more because
we can't just have our rehearsed bits.
You cannot zone out. You can't clock out.
You've got to clock in, as Van would say...
thousands of times.
VAN GOTH: Clock it. Clock it.
Clock it! Clock it. Clock it.
PM: Fucking clock it. [laughing]
I hate it. Ha!
KARAMILK: I feel like all these topics we could
talk about for like 10 minutes each.
SALTINA: That will definitely be our challenge.
-Yeah. -...is keeping it concise,
and this is daytime so we have to be inspirational.
My strategy during this challenge is to show a more...
serious side of myself but, you know,
I want to talk about my experiences.
DULCE: So padding.
For me, personally, I always pad.
SALTINA: I think people should do it first
to find out how it feels.
DULCE: Do you ever pad, Saltina, or no?
SALTINA: I started with padding.
And then, you know, because of my body,
because I have to use the washroom so much,
I was like, you know what?
Let's try it without padding.
I do have an invisible disability because of
my car accident.
And that ranges from any gut issues.
It ranges from scar tissue pain,
fatigue, joint pain.
I go to the washroom a lot.
Sometimes after a number, I'm running to a washroom
because I don't want to shit onstage.
KARAMILK: At first I was like, oh my god,
this is a comedy challenge. I was like, actually it's not.
SALTINA: It's not.
DULCE: And the main thing is to be yourself.
I feel like we all talk a lot,
but we're also not really loud.
KARAMILK: And we don't overpower each other.
DULCE: I'm not going in there with like a character.
I'm not going in there with a crazy voice.
I'm treating it like I'm literally just sitting there,
talking to my friends and listening.
PM: So how are we feeling about the other two groups?
SAMI: Van and Eboni, they're talkers.
They talk a lot.
You know, I'm just wondering if Van and Eboni
can just shut and listen for one second.
As much as I love Eboni and Van Goth,
they don't know how to hold a conversation,
like a person.
PM: And then Dulce, Saltina, and Karamilk,
I feel that's a strong team.
SAMI: Oh! But you know what?
We have more confidence.
PM: Yeah. [giggling]
PM: I feel like The Realness is a more subdued group.
I am not sure if they're gonna find
the fun aspect, but...
that'll work in my favour, I guess.

SALTINA: We're about to do our live taping of The Shade.
Let's hope this... SFX: [bell ringing]
...goes well. [laughing]
TRACI: The Shade is obviously a talk show,
but listening is just as important as the talking.
MYA: What daytime show are they on, girl?
One's going to a wedding.
One's going figure skating.
The other one's going to a rave.
It's something else, girl.
TRACI: We're going live in 5, 4, 3...
DULCE: Hello, and welcome to The Shade...
the talk show that keeps you on your heels.
My name is Dulce and with me today
I have Saltina and Karamilk.
In our first segment of the day,
it's time for The Realness,
where we will be discussing some hot topics
and dishing our opinions.
First up, padding: in or out, ladies?
KARAMILK: I feel like right now there's
a major discourse around padding.
I feel like it's really up to the girl,
it's really up to you and your drag.
SALTINA: For me, I started with padding.
I started with it, and I loved it,
but you know how much I go to the washroom.
KARAMILK: Oh yes. [laughing]
SALTINA: I decided to try it without and I love it.
DULCE: I recall this one time I did a show,
and it wasn't until it was like halfway through that,
I realized that like I had forgotten my pads at home.
After that, I was just in the mirror crying,
but I had to like quit the show halfway
because I think I relied on the pads so much to like
make me feel comfortable,
and I love the way my body looks when it's padded.
SAMI: The energy on this segment is so low.
Girls... pick it up.
DULCE: Club Culture.
So when I say that, ladies, like what comes to your mind?
For me, it's one word. It's accessibility.
As a broke body baddie myself,
I want to see more people like me there.
I want to see people who never thought that
they could be there. Go and have a good time.
DULCE: It's definitely more about like acceptance.
KARAMILK: Yeah.
DULCE: I find that sometimes like when I go out of drag to
the same club that I was performing at
like literally last night,
it's like, it's harder for me to get a drink.
VAN GOTH: Girl, this is boring.
If this was a talk show...
I'd be changing the channel by now.
KARAMILK: Even more sober spaces.
There's a lot of sober queens.
It's hard when all your friends are drunk
or drinking's encouraged.
Or it's like, "I'm not drinking tonight."
"No, do a tequila shot."
We shouldn't be encouraging that.
SALTINA: And as a sober girl, myself,
I can say I can still party, thank you very much.
-100% -I can still party.
KARAMILK: Oh, I know. [laughing]
DULCE: Speaking about partying,
there's nothing we love to do more than party
with our drag families.
Do you guys have a drag family?
KARAMILK: I feel like I started drag,
and I had a drag mother right away,
and she has been incredible, so supportive,
but I've learned that it's not just like having
a drag mother, drag daughter.
It's about the connections you make along the way.
EBONI: [deadpan] Drag family's important.
It's really important.
Girl, Karamilk is giving an empty plate.
[British] Please, sir, can I have some more?
DULCE: Unfortunately, that is time for us.
I wanted to thank you guys so much for joining us.
We'll be right back after these short messages.

girl, she ain't got none of that, okay?
VAN GOTH: Ooh. Clock it.
MYA: Now listen, Eboni, what are you
steeping on over there?
EBONI: It is pretty bitter, I'm gonna be real.
-I won last week, yes... -Oh, winner, winner.
...and I got real close and personal with the beaver.
She was cute...
but she was a little suspicious.
VAN GOTH: Oh, how so?
EBONI: Girl, she not even gold.
MYA: [gasping] EBONI: Girl.
MYA: Oh, my. EBONI: Gaggy, gaggy.
Now, Miss Mya. MYA: Yes.
You won a few weeks ago. MYA: I did.
EBONI: And you held the beaver.
MYA: Well, listen, when I picked Miss Beaver up,
she was a little lighter than I expected,
but I just thought Miss Thing was on Ozempic, okay?
VAN: She might have been. MYA: She might have been.
Now listen, I have some breaking news as well.
You all know Jimbo, right? VAN GOTH: Of course.
MYA: Miss Thing is opening up her own drag school.
EBONI: Okay! Yay, that's sickening.
MYA: She's offering classes. She's got teachers.
EBONI: I actually got an email.
She was offering me a full ride scholarship.
MYA: Aw!
EBONI: Yeah, she knew the drag was good or that
the drag needed help- I don't know, anyway!
MYA: Let me tell you about the most popular course
that she's offering.
It's how to lose twice and win on the third try.
[laughing]
EBONI: So, you know our queen mother?
VAN GOTH: Of course.
EBONI: Host of Canada's Drag Race.
Now tell me why she was caught at Drag Con...
with no wig. MYA: [gasping]
I don't know, though. I'm kind of here for it.
It's giving very Joey J. Tease.
EBONI: That is true, but listen, if I were
to be caught at a gig or in public with no wig,
it would be really scurry up in there.
It would, but you know, Miss Thing is a trendsetter.
If Miss Brooke Lynn is wearing no wig,
maybe ladies, we should try no wig.
-Oh, girl, ah. -Should we give it a...
-Ah? Ah? Nah! -No, no, no.
VAN GOTH: We'll leave it to Brooke Lynn.
She's got the bone structure for it.
SAMI: Van Goth, Eboni and Mya are doing really well.
They picked up the energy.
Sorry. [burping]
Ooh, I picked up my energy there.
VAN GOTH: Have you got your fill? Because, ha,
I'm overflowing. But don't go anywhere.
The Shade will be right back.
[applauding] Yay!
TRACI: Alright, we have Sami, PM, and Velma.
How are you doing?
-Great! -Great.
TRACI: Okay, we are back in 5, 4, 3...
♪
SAMI: Bonjour and welcome back.
I'm Sami and I'm joined by...
PM: Hi, I'm PM. VELMA: Hi, I'm Velma.
SAMI: And this is Couchside Kiki,
where we get to know one of your favourite
Canadian celebrities.
Today, we're very excited for this one.
We're joined by three-time Juno Award winning artist,
it's Kiesza, everyone.
-[applauding] -Hi!
-Hello! -How are you?
SAMI: We're so happy to have you.
KIESZA: You look so good! VELMA: You look so good.
PM: Wow. VELMA: Take a seat.
SAMI: Yes, sit down.
So this is the Couchside Kiki, okay?
KIESZA: Actually, my nickname is Kiki.
-No! -My mom calls me Kiki.
SAMI: This is perfect.
We're about to have a good kiki now.
PM: I'm a dancer, and I so look up to you
and your movement quality...
KIESZA: Thank you.
PM: And just everything you exude.
How long have you been a mover because it seems like...
KIESZA: Forever. PM: Forever.
KIESZA: Yes, since I was a kid.
I started ballet when I was like two,
but I've always kind of been awkward, actually.
You can sort of see it, I'm a little like...
nerdy and awkward, and that's actually
because I'm ambidextrous.
-Oh! -Okay.
And I have a dual dominant brain.
PM: Do you have a favourite performance memory?
KIESZA: One of the coolest memories was
performing at Wembley Stadium.
VELMA: Wow! SAMI: Wow.
KIESZA: It's the first time I experienced like
when they say the crowd high.
There's nothing like that. I got actually high...
and I, and I got lost.
Like I was on this thrust stage,
and I went down, and I was just like...
SAMI: I'll have what she's having.
VELMA: I know!
Well, speaking of being lost, one of my favourite
personal songs ever is Hideaway,
this music video, because it's a one-shot video,
how did you come with that idea?
KIESZA: I was broke. [laughing]
I couldn't afford an editor. [laughing]
EBONI: Couchside Kiki is going good.
They're seeming to connect with Kiesza.
Girl, I don't know.
It's better than The Realness.
I'm gonna tell you that.
SAMI: Now we're gonna go into our
favourite segment, alright?
So this is rapid-fire questions, alright?
VELMA: And you just answer with the first thing
that pop up in your mind. KIESZA: I'm scared.
SAMI: Don't be scared.
It's a good couch here. Very good vibes.
KIESZA: I love this talk show, by the way.
SAMI: Thank you.
Our ratings are going out the roof right now.
[laughing]
Now, east coast or west coast?
And be careful, I'm from the east coast.
PM: And I'm from the west coast.
KIESZA: Honestly, I find the east coast more artistic.
SAMI: It is. KIESZA: But I like relaxing.
I go to the west coast to like disappear...
and kind of get into my soul, my- like vanish.
VELMA: Sweet or salty? KIESZA: Salty.
PM: Sneakers or stilettos?
KIESZA: Ah! PM: I know.
KIESZA: I like the sneaker stilettos.
Have you seen the hybrids? Yeah, those are the best!
SAMI: Yes, yes, yes!
Ketchup on poutine, agree?
KIESZA: Hm... Nn-nn.
SAMI: Okay, okay. KIESZA: No, gravy.
SAMI: Yeah, I'm there with you.
Yeah, we're trying to be inclusive here,
but I'm with you.
That's all the time we have.
Thank you so much for taking the time to kiki with us.
Tune in tomorrow where we will be joined by
Brad Goreski. Where has he been?
We will find out.
SAMI: I'm Sami. PM: I'm PM.
VELMA: And I'm Velma.
SAMI: Thanks for sitting with us at Couchside...
Kiki!
VELMA: Thank you. KIESZA: Thank you!

I can acknowledge when I don't do well,

KARAMILK: I feel like we did do well.
I feel like it really depends on the taste of the judges

SAMI: She was having fun with us.
I really feel like- PM: She said it.
SAMI: Yeah. VELMA: She said it.
SAMI: That's the thing. We were having a kiki.
After seeing all these shady bitches
have fake ass alliances, I'm gonna go align myself
with the two realest people in this room.
SAMI: I think we need to get real right now,
because... I haven't felt like
I have anyone that really has my back,
and I would love to have a weirdo clown alliance.
VELMA: Yeah, of course.
Let's just do that, that trio,
like the three clowns. Why not?
PM: I feel like these two are two people
that I can rely on.
SAMI: And even for the weirdo queens,
we had very daytime looks.
VELMA: Oh my god, yeah, yeah.
SAMI: It's time to send in the clowns.
SFX: [twinkling]
DULCE: I don't know how many of you guys know this.
I don't think I've shared it with that many people,
unless they knew, like,
my day job about like a year or two ago,
for like six years I was in the military.
Like that was like my regular job.
SAMI: Wow.
And while I did that, like I still did drag,
and I would get into drag like on the bases,
and like go to my show.
SAMI: That's iconic.
DULCE: And they knew, I didn't hide it.
Like I never changed my voice,
I never changed anything 'cause like I've always
wanted to be unapologetically myself.
As I was there a longer time and more years, like,
people would like come out to me and stuff,
and say like how cool it was to see someone
so queer and stuff in the army.
But they're like, just the fact that you can do that
is like super cool, and honestly,
that brought me so much joy.
VAN: Dulce, have you ever like, used a gun
or like shot a gun, or like done any of that?
DULCE: Girl, yes, I used to. I can like,
do like a machine gun, a regular gun.
I can like take them apart, put them back together
blindfolded, honey, like... VAN GOTH: What?!
DULCE: Yes, honey, yes! Yes, literally, yes, like...
SAMI: Dulce knows how to assemble a gun, blindfolded.
Van, you in danger, girl.
So, we have a really exciting runway today,
"A Perp Walk To Remember."
EBONI: Yes.
SAMI: What do you guys have?
PM: My runway today is probably the one
that I'm most proud of.
I am going be talking about
the bathhouse raids in the 80s.
MYA: Oh!
PM: In Toronto, actually,
there were bathhouses being raided.
And men, trans people,
queer people were dragged out...
just in their skimpies, maybe undressed,
and a lot of them were arrested just for
being themselves in a space that
they thought they could call home.
And so, I am going to be one of the people
who got pulled out today.
SAMI: I love that. PM: I'm pretty stoked.
SALTINA: Sami, what are you doing?
I need to know. [laughing]
SAMI: I'm going full silly.
My whole thing is illegal injections.
That's like what I'm arrested for.
I'm gonna be botched on the runway.
PM: As opposed to? [laughing]
SAMI: As opposed to. As opposed to.
SALTINA: What about you, Van?
VAN GOTH: Mine's really personal.
This last year I was diagnosed as HIV positive.
VELMA: Oh! VAN GOTH: Um...
And one of the first things that happened...
was this person called me and said like, "Hey, like,
there's someone to talk to about like all the
legal issues." I was like, "What legal issues?"
And she was like, "Well, if you don't disclose
your status when you sleep with people,
you can get charged with aggravated sexual assault."
And I was like, "Even if I was undetectable?"
And she's like, "Yeah, it doesn't matter.
You have to always disclose it..."
Uh, "Or you could get arrested."
When I like found out I was HIV positive,
just like I couldn't believe it.
And I felt guilty, but also like sad, like...
I felt like I did something wrong.
Like, why did I feel that way?
Like, why is like my first reaction
that I like should feel bad?
So my look is inspired by, I guess, my fears of like...
having my status used against me
in a way that is like criminal,
and like could result in like...
I don't know, me going to jail or like,
just like being discriminated against.
A lot of the fear has been like not getting
upset with myself, and like...
I'm not the problem.
And...
that's like hard to unlearn.
[crying]
VELMA: Love you so much.
Oh, my god, I can't wait to see it.
VAN GOTH: I just like feel...
like I don't know who I am anymore, like...
Like, I just, I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know. It's hard to like express.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
VAN GOTH: Coming on here, I really want to like...
show people a different side of it,
and that it's not everything you see in movies
and TV shows and...
you don't get diagnosed as HIV positive one day,
and the next day you have AIDS
and you're on your deathbed.
EBONI: There's a lot of stigma within the community
about it, which is unfortunate.
It's really sad.
VAN GOTH: I want to learn more about what being
HIV positive is, and I want to break
my own stigmas about it.
If I could like sit back at the end of my life
or my career in drag, and be like oh,
I made a difference, that's like the best prize.
How could you ask for anything better?
SALTINA: Be patient with yourself...
-Yeah. -And remember that...
you don't have to rush to figure
everything out right now. MYA: No, totally.
You can take your time.
MYA: I'm honestly really proud of Van in this moment
for being so vulnerable.
I know that she is somebody that's kind of guarded.
She has this hard exterior, and I know that it is a huge
step for her to come out and share her status with us.
MYA: We love you, girl.
VAN; Thank you. I love you guys.
SAMI: We love you. VAN GOTH: I appreciate it.

First up, Saltina Shaker.
SALTINA: The iron maiden is a medieval torture device.
There are spikes in it, and it slowly closes.
And eventually, you get very holy.
As I walk out of it, I have these beads dripping,
accentuating the holes in my body.
BROOKE: Can someone please get her a Band-Aid?
SALTINA: I am this Medieval girl
who stole a piece of bread.
I know I'm guilty, but bitch, I look good.
But I will need some rubbing alcohol for the wounds.
CARSON: Well, that didn't middle age well.

BROOKE LYNN: Next, Dulce. CARSON: Oh!
DULCE: Girl, I just went to the mall.
I'm like taking stuff left and right.
I made sure to wear my big jacket.
But, I didn't take the ink pad off before I stole it,
so it kind of exploded.
BROOKE LYNN: Money can't buy you class,
but it can buy you ass.
DULCE: I just stole a little makeup palette and
a little brush because there's no discount
better than a five-finger discount.

BROOKE LYNN: Now, Karamilk.
KARAMILK: This is bullshit.
Here I was out going for a stroll
through the financial district,
took a stop at the bank, and somehow
I got this blue dye all over me.
How did that happen?
TRACI: Now this is a look you could take to the bank.
KARAMILK: In the purse, of course,

BROOKE LYNN: Next, Van Goth.
VAN: So my look is highlighting the holes
in the justice system,
and how people living with HIV just don't really get
a fair shot of it sometimes.
And I am shedding the chains
and the weight of these fucked up laws.
CARSON: Okay, hey girl, let's link up.

They're throwing her in the slammer, honey,
because she was trying to get herself a man.
Girl, this is the stupidest frigging shit
I've ever done in my life, alright.
It is Man of Green Gables walking up in here.
BROOKE LYNN: Next, PM.
PM: My runway today is totally inspired by the
bathhouse raids in the 80s in Toronto.
I want to make sure that I'm flexing my muscles,
sniffing my pits,
being a little bit masculine for once on this runway.

The rest of you represent the tops and the bottoms

Now it's time for the judges' critiques.
First up, Saltina Shaker.
SALTINA: Hello.
TRACI: As a team, you were prepared,
and you had done your research,
but it was missing the dynamic talk show energy.
When you watch a talk show,
it's a back and forth, it's a volley,
and I really felt like that was missing.
BROOKE LYNN: It felt a little bit flat.
And this is a daytime talk show.
It's supposed to be lively and engaging,
and it felt more like monologues...
than conversations.
CARSON: You know, in a daytime format,
people are sitting at home during the day
and they kind of want to be part of the party.
You kind of wanted to see, you know,
you gals kiki-ing about important things
but having a fun time doing it.
KIESZA: I love your look. Your body looks amazing,
fantastic, and I, just I gagged when
you came out of that Medieval thing.
BROOKE LYNN: I would have loved some more
Medieval-ish hair to go with it,
but I appreciated the reveal, and I think this is
a really cool take on a perp walk.
SALTINA: Thank you.
BROOKE: Next up, Dulce. DULCE: Hi.
CARSON: You were the lead moderator,
and that is probably the toughest job on
a daytime talk show, and I think you took that
so seriously that you kind of got lost in the script.
TRACI: You were well researched and you were
ready to talk about your topics,
but it was almost like you were too ready.
There was a bit of a seriousness
all the way through.
BROOKE LYNN: It felt like...
the TV turned on and you turned off.
KIESZA: I really loved a lot of moments
of what you were saying, but I felt just
your body language was closed to the camera.
You could have just kind of opened your body up
so we could see you a little more.
CARSON: This is one my favourite looks
I've seen you in. It's young,
it's fresh, it's funky.
It's a little bit banjee, a little bit shoplifting
on Sesame Street, which I love.
I wish I got a little bit more shoplifter from it.
CARSON: I wish you would have pulled like 10,000 things
just to really sell the idea what story you're telling.
BROOKE LYNN: Next up, Karamilk.
KARAMILK: Hi.
BROOKE LYNN: I get the sense that you are
a quiet personality and you're not the
loudest person in the room,
which is something I can very much relate to.
I'm the same way.
But challenges like these are extra hard for us...
because we really have to go outside of our comfort zone,
and we have to go triple what we think we should be doing.
CARSON: It was about the energy level,
and I think that if you're not the most
extroverted person, act.
Just fake it 'til you make it.
KIESZA: First of all, I actually think you
have such a strong presence, and I just felt,
yeah, maybe you were playing it a little bit safe.
CARSON: I think this look, I know this is
a bank robber gets shot with like, you know,
the dye that identifies you as the robber.
I wasn't really getting that from this look.
BROOKE: I think the problem for me is the colour.
I would have loved if you had done
a really contrasting colour so the blue dye
really popped on it for me.
I think it's a very cool concept.
I just don't think it's quite fully realized.
KARAMILK: Thank you so much.
BROOKE LYNN: Next up, Eboni La'Belle.
You were made for TV.
I just wanted to watch you forever.
TRACI: You really brought the audience in
and you made it fun.
I love the wig, I love the look.
The beat was beating.
-I was channeling you. -Oh, stop it!
EBONI: I literally got ready and I was like,
I look like Traci Melchor right now.
TRACI: Well, I'm flattered.
KIESZA: You're magnetic, I was drawn in.
I had so much fun.
I really felt like I was in the room.
CARSON: When you're comfortable,
the audience is comfortable,
and that's gold for daytime television.
TRACI: Your look tonight, you know,
the fact that you're paying tribute to
Marsha P. Johnson...
her impact is immeasurable.
BROOKE LYNN: It's a little bit simple for me.
And there's a little bit of a fit issue in the crotch.
And especially if we're doing something
like a bodysuit,
we have to make sure it fits perfect.
Next up, PM.
CARSON: Hi, PM. PM: Hi.
CARSON: I think it's funny that you're name is PM,
but you're really, you're an AM kind of queen
because you belong on daytime.
KIESZA: I've done so many interviews,
and this was one of my favourites of like
my whole career.
TRACI: You connected to our special guest, Kiesza,
dancer to dancer, and you also showed her
that you were listening to her.
You showed your personality without...
taking over. PM: Thank you.
BROOKE LYNN: Your look tonight,
I'm equally delighted and disgusted.
PM: Yay!
BROOKE LYNN: I feel like this is PM core,
and you also brought attention to a really
important moment in our queer history,
just in a slightly more disgusting way.
PM: A little bit.
BROOKE LYNN: Last, but certainly not least,
Sami Landri. SAMI: [muffled] Hi.
KIESZA: You did such a good job being the
mediator of the group, like I did feel like
you really anchored the whole...
talk show.
TRACI: When Kiesza spoke about feeling like
she was high at Wembley Stadium,
you were like, "I'll have what she's having."
You were just really listening and
responding and having fun.
I really, really enjoyed you, and I did not know
how you were gonna do in this challenge,
so you really surprised me this week.
SAMI: Thank you.

VAN: PM! PM: Yes!
-And Eboni. -And Eboni, okay.
PM: I have landed in the fucking top!
And this makes me so excited.
Surprise, bitches. [laughing]
KARAMILK: I'm in the bottom, yeah.
They just want me to like, I guess,
like break out of my shell more.
I get it, it's like drag.
It's better to go big rather than to go home, so...
SALTINA: This is my first time here, and it
honestly, it fucking sucks.
I know that I'm retreating a little bit.
I don't want that to be the reason why I go.
I'm not fading into the background. I refuse.
I'm realizing that I'm fucking worth it.
That I'm deserving of being here,
that I'm here for a reason,
and that I am fucking talented.
MYA: Dulce, what did they say about you?
DULCE: I just feel fucking like so stupid.
I thought I was in the fucking top,
so it makes me feel like, oh, obviously not.
Like I view my drag differently.
I really thought I was in the top and I was gonna win,
and I feel like the dumbest bitch ever
for like thinking that.
I try to listen and think of, like,
how to like do what they want us to do.
And I do the best, and it...
doesn't work.
EBONI: When has a challenge ever asked you
to be serious, dry, and monotone?
♪
Kind of like a vagina.
SAMI: I have something I want to ask
from the bottom three.
I want to hear why you want to stay,
but I think also I want to hear, if you stay,
what are specific things that you know you need to
work on to go better in this competition?
VAN GOTH: Spicy.
Girl, who died and made you Brooke Lynn?
All of the sudden, you're like,
"Well, tell me how you're gonna improve yourself."
Bitch, how are you gonna improve yourself?
You're still shit.
SALTINA: Well, I will go first.
I'm often afraid to come across as,
ironically, too confident.
SAMI: I feel that.
SALTINA: At any point that I am,
someone is gonna tear me down,
someone's gonna tell me that I don't deserve
what the fuck I have.
SAMI: I relate to that, yeah.
SALTINA: And this competition has made me realize that,
you know what, maybe I do deserve this.
Maybe I do deserve my TikTok following.
Maybe I do deserve that win.
I've knocked down all those walls, the self-doubt,
the over-confidence, the arrogance, the fear.
I want to know what's next.
I'm staying, no matter what.

VAN: I bet you wish you gave the beaver to Sami now.

VAN GOTH: Baby, put Saltina in the bottom two,

You want to get the top four spot,
you want to win, let's see it.
Girl, fuck friendships.
KARAMILK: Coming here, I want to show that
I'm more than just somebody that can twirl on stage.
I want to show more of my personality.
It's insane the amount of growth I feel like
I've learned and grown as a person,
and I want to continue that, I want to continue
to show it, and to prove it.
Fuck the noise.
I'm just gonna say what I have to say.
Save me, don't save me.
I'll turn it out.
DULCE: Well, I think I'm the only one of these two
that hasn't said that you should have been
in the bottom or gone home,
so take that into consideration.
-[laughing] -So shady!
No, you said it.
I'm a fucking fierce queen. SAMI: You are.
DULCE: ...at like everything I do.
I've gone through like so much fucking shit and
always made it through the other end.
I will get through this as well.
I will be here no matter what
because I'm supposed to be here.
I deserve to be saved because I wasn't
the worst this week, and like, girl,
I'll give you a vape.
SAMI: I could save Saltina.
She's a great friend of mine,
but she is a threat.
I could save Karamilk.
She didn't do that bad in the challenge...
but she is a lip sync assassin.
Looking at Dulce,
she's wearing my earrings.
If she goes home, she might steal them.
Oh my god, that's a lot to think about.
