[RuPaul laughs]
♪♪♪
Never a bad angle, because I'm stunning.
[laughs]
I'm Gia Metric,
and I am all the stars in the universe, baby.
People describe my drag as polished, high-fashion,
intergalactic, sexy,
space alien slut.
Aah! Shut up!
Oh, my gosh.
This place is beautiful, but I'm stunning!
Look at my reflection!
Oh, my God. Shit.
Ahh. Feels just like home,
[giggles]
Bitch, you betta bring it to the floor,
because I will always give you what?
Amour.
I am Kimora Amour, the carnival drag queen,
the deep throat chanteuse, the Guyanese enchantress.
If you're coming to a Kimora Amour show,
you're gonna get opulence, extra-ness.
You're gonna have a fun-ass time,
because Imma wind down and wind down on you.
I am everything and more.
Kimora Amour.
Mwah!
Love your energy.
You walked in, and it was like, oh, oh!
Listen, baby, I'm the carnival queen.
There's always a carnival with me!
Let's have tzaziki, motherfucker.
Oh!
I'm Pythia, I'm 26 years old,
and I'm from Montral.
I named myself Pythia, who was the oracle of Apollo.
She was a very powerful feminine figure
in the ancient times of Greece,
so it's just a way
for me to sort of pay ode to my Greek roots,
but also channel my ancestral feminine energy.
Ooh! Come on, She-Ra.
I have a background in theater,
so I make all of my own costumes, my own props.
I will always stand out from the crowd.
[chuckles] Oh, my God, hi!
Hi, girl!
I'm like, oh, my God, it's Pythia,
Aah! I love her so much.
-Kimora Amour. -You are Pythitia?
-Pythia, yes. -Pythia, ooh.
Some people pronounce it "PITH-ia,"
but the proper Greek traditional pronunciation is "Pitheeya."
It doesn't matter how they say it,
as long as they get out of my way,
because that crown is mine.
I love your helmet.
I have a matching sword, but it's hidden now.
[all laugh]
Aah!
The earth may be flat, but Canada has curves.
I'm Eve 6000, and I do not believe that the Earth is flat,
so put down your pitchforks for now.
I'm sure I will say something else later to piss you off.
I'm 20 mm-mmm years old, and I'm from Toronto.
The other queens should be very afraid of me,
because I am bringing the best looks to this competition.
I'm gonna slay those acting challenges,
I'm amazing at songwriting, and I can sing.
[laughs]
[cheering]
Hey, bitch!
I know Eve from a long, long time ago.
-Gia. -Girl.
-Hi. -You unfollowed me on Instagram,
so I'm already mad at you. [laughs]
She's a little bit of a bitch.
I'm known for being a little shady,
a little confrontational or argumentative,
but you know, people just kind of have to get over it.
Well, I'm the winner, so you guys can all go home now.
Oh!
Did somebody order combo number five?
Suki served sizzling hot.
Ooh!
Hello, c'est moi, Suki Doll.
Suki Doll is different.
She is innovative.
She gives you things that you couldn't even imagine
with that tiny little imagination of yours.
Drag is not about just looking good from far away.
Details matter, and you'll see it when you see me.
I'm here to take the crown, snatch it,
because it looks good on this Suki Doll.
[cheering]
You guys look delicious!
Suki Doll! She's one of my sisters.
She is gonna be really tough competition for sure.
-Montral girls! -Yes!
[speaking Spanish]
Are you ready for this, papi?
Hello, my name is Adriana.
I'm 29 years old,
and I'm from the beautiful city of Qubec.
I am fire to your veins.
I am fashion, I am looks, I'm a performer,
and I am your sexy Latina coochie-coochie caliente.
-Hi! -Thank you.
To the left, to the left, come on over.
She's wigglin'.
Take your time.
Any day now.
I'm here, I'm here.
Oh, my God, I'm so excited!
-Oh! -Ooh!
Is the SkyTrain still running?
My name is Beth.
I'm campy, glamorous, and socially anxious.
Beth is just a small-town girl
who moved to the big city to make her dreams come true.
Beth's signature look is definitely big hair,
big makeup, big tits, and a fat ass.
I'm here to prove that having a big heart,
a little bit of charm, and a lot of personality
is all it takes to be Canada's next drag superstar.
Girl!
I hear this voice,
and I know exactly who is right over to my left.
Gia Metric is here.
-Hi! -Hello!
-Hi. -Hi.
-How are you? -How are you?
Deep down, I feel a little intimidated by Gia,
but it's also really nice
to have a familiar face in the room.
-Oh! -Whoa.
Did hell just freeze over?
Because the ice queen has arrived.
I'm Icesis Couture,
and I've got the oldest knees in this competition.
[laughs]
Oh, fuck, they hurt.
I don't have a signature style.
What I do have is versatility--
in drag, not in the bedroom.
I have been doing drag for 14 years.
There's literally nothing I can't do or haven't done,
as long as it's legal. [laughs]
-Yes. -Hi!
Miss Icesis? Dang.
Structure, body, angles, colors.
Ooh!
Ottawa queen. Yeah.
We didn't know there was drag in Ottawa, right?
[laughs]
[cackle]
Oh, my God! [gasps]
I hear a laugh, and I know it.
Aah!
[speaking native language]
What? [all laugh]
Oh, the ocean is rising, and she is so salty.
[laughs]
My name is Ocane Aqua-Black,
and I do whatever I want when I want,
and I don't apologize for it.
-Oh! Yeah! -Damn!
Girl!
My drag is a combination of many, many artists:
Beyonc, Britney Spears, Janet Jackson.
And all of this comes together
to create the persona that I am today.
Ocane is not known for being an acrobatic queen.
The only thing I can do is put my knees behind my head,
but other than that...
-Girl! -Ocane!
Oh, my God!
-This is so great. -Thank you!
-This is...okay. -Wow.
Aah, bitch!
Ooh, you guys like fried chicken?
Because, bitch, I'm serving.
My name's Stephanie Prince.
I'm 24 years old, and I love cilantro.
It's like the same thing as applying makeup.
It livens up the dish, and this is a whole dish, honey.
Ooh. Stephanie Prince can dance,
can rap, she's the fashion queen.
She's the highlight of the show.
My God.
Wait, let me pose for a second.
Drama. [all laugh]
Fuck, Stephanie's a star.
Some people have this idea that I'm a bitch.
I could be kind, but I can also be a bitch.
[laughs]
Yes. [chuckles]
Oh, my God.
-Oh! -What?
Gender is a construct.
The only one that matters is Kendall.
-What? -Hi!
Oh, my gosh.
I'm Kendall Gender.
Now, that's Gender, not Jenner.
Just in case you were expecting
a 5-foot-10 supermodel to come out,
and you got a 6-foot tall one instead.
A Kendall Gender signature look is all about body.
It's all about the boobs, the corset,
the big pads, hourglass shape.
Kim Kardashian, eat your heart out.
-Hi! -Aah!
Aah!
[screaming]
Kendall Gender and I have worked together
for over seven years.
She is my best friend.
Oh, my God, I know. Hi!
She is like having a security blanket here in the competition.
[both gasp] Oh!
Oh, my God! Who's she?
Get ready to synthesize.
I'm Synthia Kiss,
I'm 29 years old,
and I'm so excited for jury duty.
It's our civic right.
I want the other queens to know
that I'm not just a pretty face.
I'm fierce, I'm funny, I'm fashionable.
Sometimes I can seem like a dry bitch,
but at the end of the day, I'm a little cuddly guy.
Hey, Season 2 good to be true.
[cheering]
Are you fucking kidding me? Oh!
-Whoo! -Got it.
Oh, my God.
I am gooped, I am gagged,
I am booped, I am bagged.
Okay, clearly-- clearly it's happening.
So have you ever heard of Brat Pack?
Yes.
This is like the original Brat Pack.
I love you. I'm so excited.
The Brat Pack is this little narcissist group of queens.
They like to think theirselves
they're so pretty and they're so talented.
As we know, in Drag Race herstory, cliques never work.
So let's hope it doesn't work for them as well.
[alarm]
Oh, my God!
Aah!
It's happening!
RuPaul: She done already done had herses.
Peek-a-Ru, I see you.
[cheering] Hello, hello, hello!
It's Ru-motherfucking-Paul.
She's talking to me right now.
What?
My queens, welcome to Season 2.
You've got the kind of charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent
that can survive a Canadian winter,
and still pop back smelling like a rose.
So put your petals to the metal,
and, please, don't be a prick.
So let your lady garden bloom,
and prove to the world that, yes, you're that chick.
[cheers and applause]
Bonjour, hi, hello!
-Aah! -Aah!
Oh, Brooke Lynn!
That bitch is gorgeous.
[laughs]
My gay angels,
welcome to Season 2 of Canada's Drag Race!
[cheering]
I already feel like a proud MILF of 12.
[laughs]
Knock-knock!
[cheering]
-Yes! -Yes!
Damn, here comes red carpet royalty!
It's celebrity stylist to the stars, Brad Goreski.
[cheering]
-Hi, Brooke Lynn. -Hey, girl.
Hi, ladies!
-Hi! -Hi!
I'm so excited to be joining the family.
-Yes! -Yes!
Well, I'm not the only surprise today.
I'm sorry.
[cheering]
Am I late?
Praise be, kitty-girls.
It's TV's Amanda Brugel!
[cheering]
Amanda Brugel? Blessed be her fruit.
I absolutely love Handmaid's Tale.
She's my favorite Martha.
I was very, very, very excited to see her here.
My queens, it is so wonderful to be here.
But at the same time,
fuck all of you for looking so damn good.
-Reowrr! -Shade!
Now, you have all been selected
because you have that je ne sais quoi
that makes you true, north, strong, and fierce.
Over the next several weeks, one of you
will show us enough charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent
to be crowned Canada's next drag superstar.
[cheering]
And walk away with the grand prize of $100.000.
[cheering]
Plus a sickening supply of beauty products
from Shoppers Drug Mart.
-Ooh! -Ooh!
So if you are ready to snatch the crown, prove it.
-Ooh! -Ooh!
Queens, the battle for the crown starts right now.
Aah!

Gia Metric.
Hello!
Welcome to Dant-gay's Inferno.
[thunder]
Shut up!
Please say hello, bonjour,
to our famed celebrity photographer Caitlin Cronenberg.
Hello.
She's photographed everyone from Billie Eilish
to Robert Pattinson
and, of course, Drake's iconic Views album cover.
Gia Metric gonna be added to that list.
The pleasure is mine.
Now, we know you wanna get your hands on that crown,
but it's only day one,
and you're gonna have to earn it.
So for your first mini-challenge,
you will need to serve a fierce photo
while jumping and attempting to snatch the crown.
You are gonna wanna be on point.
Honey, I always am.
-Oh! -Okay. Yeah, she's got it.
Get it? A dance joke.
Dance joke one of 175.000 this season.
[laughs]
Unfortunately, the real crown is being polished,
so you'll have to pretend that tennis ball is the crown.
Oh, okay.
Let the flames begin!
[thunder]
[wolf whistle]
Oh, she came prepared!
That's the sexiest baked potato I've ever seen.
All right, girl. One, two, three.
See you in Hell.
-Whoo! -[laughs]
That was so fun!
That was a beautiful jump.
Gia Metric: Hell's angle.
Suki Doll.
Oh, yes, give some legs.
-Ooh, Lord. -Make magic.
Bird drop.
-Wow! -Wow!
-Whoo. That was gorgeous. -Yeah, that was nice.
That's a whole lotta train.
Oh, she's a train wreck at this point.
[all laugh]
Eve 6000.
[cheering]
Oh, my God.
-That was the shot. -Yes.
That was a beautiful face.
Oh, my God, I don't know to get up.
God, I'm stuck in here, guys.
I cannot get outta here.
-Oh, my God. -[laughs]
Help is on the way. A hook is coming.
[snorts]
Grab that. Okay.
Aah!
I feel like I'm watching a live birth.
I know I probably wasn't the best at this mini-challenge,
but that's okay, because there's a lot more to come.
-Holy fucking shit. -[laughs]
Kimora Amour.
Pheasant feathers or not, she's ready to fly.
Ba-gawk!
[all laugh]
I've always wanted to know what a chicken drowning looks like.
-[laughs] -Now you know.
-Pythia. -Lord.
Okay, are you ready?
I think so.
-Yes! -Ooh!
Stephanie Prince.
Oh, my God, it's so high.
I really want you to focus on giving me your fiercest face.
Oh, okay. That's not gonna be too hard.
I don't smile.
-Oh! -Ooh!
Synthia Kiss.
-That was a shot. -Oh!
-Was that a shot? -That was a shot.
-Did we get it? -I think we got it.
We got the shot?
-Did you get the fucking shot? -We got it.
Beth.
-Yeah! -Yeah!
Yes!
I'm just trying to live my Beth life, okay?
[all laugh]
Icesis Couture.
My strategy for this photo shoot is to not die.
I don't wanna die reaching for balls.
[laughs]
-Oh! -Oh!
Fire and Icesis!
She don't throw shade, she throws lamp shade.
-Hey. -I heard that.
Kendall Gender.
Whoa!
-Adriana. -[exhales]
Ooh!
Wonder Woman!
Ocane Aqua-Black.
Oh, my God, that is high.
Ocane doesn't wanna jump into this ocean.
The earth is on fire. So is the Ocane.
Oh!
I jump into this foam pit,
and I hear this cracking, and, girl, bang, it's my knee.
I don't know what's going on.
Are you okay, honey?
-Yeah, I'm okay. -She got it.
Oh! [laughs]
I may have hurt myself,
but I'm here to win this damn competition,
and my knees won't stop me.
Good job.
-Bye. Thank you! -Bye!
-Oh, my God. -Whew.
Who said drag isn't sport, honey?
Girl!
Whew!
Girl, I'm too old for this.
What the fuck was that?
That was quite a first day.
So we're getting out of drag,
and I'm noticing a lot of cute guys in the werkroom.
[laughs]
Oh, my gosh, your face is off?
That's a new face, bitch!
Eve, is that you?
Eve went from some beautiful, like, rich aunt
to someone's old uncle.
I'm still the prettiest one in the room
even with my wig off. [laughs]
Who the hell are all of you?
[all laugh] You've changed.
You all lit our fire,
but only one of you stood out
as the top flaming reigning vageena.
-Ooh! -Ooh!
The winner of today's mini-challenge is...
Suki Doll!
[cheering]
Yes. ♪ Suki, she's gonna give it to you ♪
Con-drag-ulations, Suki Doll.
You have won a stunning shoe collection
and $2.500 cash courtesy of House of Hayla.
[cheering]
It's not that I needed more shoes.
A girl can always have more shoes.
He knows. He's a stylist. [all laugh]
So you ever get a little too krunk at the club
and end up leaving something behind?
Maybe your phone or your shoes?
Your dignity?
For this week's maxi-challenge,
we want you to salvage whatever you can
from these coat check closets
that are filled with left behind items and clothing.
Using the fabulous Fabricland wall,
we want you to create a haute check couture look
that screams premiere party eleganza.
-Ooh! -Ooh!
Just to be clear, my dears,
just because there's clothing in there
doesn't mean you can walk down the runway in some basic outfit.
Show us who you are.
-Got it. -Got it.
Suki Doll, as winner of the mini-challenge,
you get a 30-second head start to get your shit together.
Aah!
Go.
-Go! -Go!
Me first? Aah!
I got 30 seconds extra.
I'm, like, get the best I can here.
Okay. Oh, my God.
This coat check is a mess.
I'm taking what I can here.
And now, racers, start your engines,
and may the best drag queen win.
[screaming]
The other girls run in, they're crazy,
they're ripping stuff, they look like animals.
Are we at the zoo?
Ooh, girl.
Oh.
Is that a jar of olives?
I see three things that I love.
Napkins. Okay, bitch.
Feathered wings, and I see a feather boa.
I don't know what I'm making out of it,
but I'm grabbing them all.
All right, I'm good.
What?
I'm in the coat check.
I feel, like, lost. Like, I should just grab.
I find myself being almost a little too picky,
and before I know it,
there's not a whole lot that I really wanna work with.
Ooh, mama.
-Is it okay if I sit here? -Yeah.
Oh, you pulled a lot of good stuff.
-Let's get to it. -So much color. Aah!
So for this week's maxi-challenge,
we have to design a premiere fancy dress party extravaganza.
What is this? Oh. [laughs]
We have to use the items that are provided,
and they're all crap.
Let's figure this out.
When you think of eleganza,
your mind automatically goes to an evening gown.
As much as I love an evening gown,
I'm a little bit more edgy,
and I think a risk in this competition
is better than to play it safe.
Not ugly.
Wait. Let me see what you got. I wanna see. I'm curious.
-You see a story in there? -I do, yes!
I just went for all red.
I love it.
Initially, my idea
was to come up with a wonderful garment and everything.
But with my knee hurting, I'm limping,
I am going to adapt my situation,
maybe turn it into a comedy.
Yes, I'm gonna make my costume completely silly.
[laughs]
Child, I'm stressed.
Me fucking too.
I didn't think I'd be worried
about a sewing challenge coming into this,
but working with unconventional materials
is definitely new for me.
That's messing with my head a little bit.
I don't know why my mind's just blanking right now.
It's normal. Just take a breath.
I was thinking about
potentially making a mermaid dress out of this.
I don't think I'm gonna use these
because I don't want it to read quinceera.
Beth's explaining to me her concept, and, oh. Oh, no.
If I were Beth, I would be scared.
Are you just drawing a bunch of dicks on your paper?
-Yeah. -[laughs]
I've decided to cut feathers out of this poster event.
Oh, no, it's like these little things
is gonna be glued on a corset.
Are you worried about doing fabric on a corset,
-you know, because-- -What do you mean?
Queens get read for that all the time on Drag Race.
Everyone went silent when you said that.
Well, if it looks good, they won't get read by it.
Well, sis, that's a big if. [laughs]
Well...
I really want the judges to see my vision.
I think I can do it.
I'm gonna make this very couture, haute couture,
and we'll see how it turns out.
Yeah, so what's yours?
See, there's only one thing on my table.
-Uh-huh. -So it's gonna be dyed.
I'm gonna drape it,
and I'll make it a structured eleganza, right?
And then under is gonna be a very Azzedine Alaia body.
It's gonna be draped and biased, and it's just gonna go flowy.
And then it's gonna cut, and it's gonna show the skin.
It's gonna be a mesh, and then it's gonna be metallic.
Okay.
What's the fabric? I don't know.
[all laugh]
I sewed one dress for this competition.
Is that the first and only that you ever sewed?
I mean, a lady never tells. [all laugh]
I feel really good about my ability to design an outfit.
I design almost everything that I wear.
But I'm a little nervous.
In terms of actually sewing something myself,
I've never actually sewn a full garment by myself.
I'm looking around the werkroom.
Everyone has these amazing concepts,
everyone's going for big statement pieces,
and I'm a little intimidated.
-Icesis? -Yeah.
How are you feeling with this challenge?
I'm good. I think I'm gonna do, like, a full fringe gown,
-with these things that I found. -No.
Yeah, so I'll make, like, an under-piece,
and then I'll, like...
That is such a nice idea.
So what are you doing?
I'm very pink in life.
Like, I love pink.
So you're really gay.
-I'm Latina, you know? -Oh! Same, girl!
Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo.
Icesis and I are talking,
and I notice that we're kind of alike.
We're Latina sisters.
I have a partner for the past, like, five years.
He's an ER nurse.
-Ooh! Really? Nice. -Yeah.
He's really cute.
Mine is a doctor, so-- [needle scratch]
-Huh? -Mine is a doctor.
-Okay, okay. [laughs] -I'm sorry.
I didn't know it was a competition.
Hey, sin sisters!
-Fancy! -Yeah!
Yeah. It's elimination day.
I hope it's not me who's going home.
Oh, God, I pray.
I hope so much.
-Aah! -Aah!
How are you feeling?
I'm feeling stressed out about the runway.
It hurts.
We have a Eureka of the season.
[all laugh]
I'm not leaving, bitch!
[all laugh]
Since it's elimination day,
are you all, like, confident with your looks, and--
Yeah.
It's not just about what you made,
but it's how you sell it.
Like, I can put on something, like, real ugly,
but then, you know, you walk out on the runway
and they're just like, oh, wow, like, she's a star.
It's all about concept and runway presentation.
Amen.
We're gonna kill this, yeah!
Whoo!
In this room, the energy is buzzing.
The stakes are high right now.
No one wants to go home this first week.
Every second counts.
Icesis, you're being very quiet over there.
-Huh? -You're being very quiet.
I know. I'm concentrating. I'm really slow.
I really need to focus to get ready.
As long as I concentrate and I take out all the noise
and the nonsense from the girls, I think I'll be fine.
It's, like, so nice to be around sisters.
It's so crazy, like, being here now
with you and Gia and Kendall, like--
I know, we're all here.
I know, four of us. Aah!
-Four of us. -It's overdue.
Like, I remember moving to Vancouver in 2017,
and I had only been doing drag
in my little small town by myself,
and going to the Junction and seeing you
and all the Brat Pack girls performing.
Brat Pack Thursdays. Ha!
And I was like, "That's what I wanna do."
Yeah. It was so cool. Oh.
How are you feeling about today?
-I'm okay. -Yeah?
I'm definitely nervous.
I'm definitely feeling a little overwhelmed in this situation.
People don't understand what it takes
to walk out on that stage doing what we do.
Doing drag takes a ton of confidence.
You know, I think I was able to find a direction,
but it definitely took a long time,
so it kind of limited to what--
-That's part of the process. -Exactly.
That is part of it.
Beth can be a little bit hard on herself sometimes.
Knowing her from a competition sense previously,
I have seen that.
So I'm hoping that she can push through and trust herself,
because what she does is amazing.
-Who dat? -Oh, that's my son.
-Wait, your son? -Yeah, that's my baby.
His name is Quincy.
-Quincy. I love it. -Yeah.
And that was when he was younger.
What? Damn!
I have a cute bouncing baby 17-year-old.
[laughs]
-17? -17?
What? Ha!
Girls, I told you, don't judge me.
Don't look at my age.
Being a father is quintessentially
one of the most important things of my life.
I try to be the dad I didn't have.
So my son can always come to me about anything.
He's--honestly, he's amazing.
He's a good kid. He gets good grades.
That's good.
He's always been proud that he has a gay dad
And at one point, two gay dads.
I did have a partner for 10 years.
Wow.
And we did raise him together.
So he knows you do drag.
-He does. Oh, yeah, he does. -Okay.
I'm very proud that he's as strong as who he is,
and of the fact that he loves me for me.
He's never been embarrassed about my sexuality and who I am.
He's never been embarrassed
about me walking the mall in a onesie.
Ocane, your makeup has changed a lot, I think,
since the first time I saw you.
That's true.
When I do my makeup, I don't see anything,
because I don't wear contacts.
-Shut up. -[laughs]
I'm putting my makeup on completely blind.
When I remove those glasses, I don't see a thing.
I learned to do my makeup with, like, a map.
I'm drawing a map on my face.
I put my brush, like, on the corner of my eye
to know where to start my lines and everything.
-Really? -But I don't see anything.
You feel your makeup.
For me, makeup is not as important
as it is to give a great performance onstage.
I put more work into my persona
than to say that, ha, ha, ha, I'm beautiful.
Wow.
Well, honey, you're beautiful on the inside.
That's all that matters.
[all laugh]
-Bravo! -That's how you do it.
Welcome to the main stage of Canada's Drag Race.
She's the bitch who's bad,
who drove all the way from Gilead.
It's Amanda Brugel!
Do you validate parking?
Martha, don't get crazy.
He's never vile and always in style.
-It's Brad Goreski. -Hi!
Brad, what's the difference
between a drag queen and an A-list actress?
Absolutely nothing.
I concur.
[imitating Cher] Oh, schnap!
It's famed photographer Caitlin Cronenberg.
What's some advice you can give
to an aspiring Instagram thot like me?
Well, you must crop it like it's hot, baby.
Oh. Like this?
-Mm-hmm. -Oh!
-Oh, yeah. -Hey, hey, hey, hey.
-Ooh. -[chuckles]
This week our queens were tasked
with turning lost-and-found loot into haute check couture.
Racers, start your engines,
and may the best drag queen...
win.
♪ You've got the spotlight ♪
Brooke Lynn: First up, Pythia.
The year is 2000. Or should I say Y2-gay?
And I'm, like, totes excited for my first movie premiere.
She's walking down the runway,
she's texting all her besties on her flip phone,
and she's just so happy to be here.
Brad: It's the neon of a new era.
[Brooke Lynn laughs]
Brooke Lynn: Kendall Gender.
Kendall: This look is quintessentially Kendall.
We are giving you a Dita Von Tease, honey,
with a little bit more of a tan skin.
It is sexy, sexy, sexy.
She's really stepping her pussy up.
Amanda: I hope she has nine lives in this competition.
-Oh! -Ooh!
Brooke Lynn: Adriana.
Adriana: I am wearing
orange raspberry smoothie eleganza extravaganza.
Raspberry sor-gay!
I'm going to the Latin movie awards,
and I am feeling my fantasy.
Blessed be the fruit.
[snorts and laughs]
Brooke Lynn: Ocane Aqua-Black.
[all laugh]
Ocane: I'm walking down the runway
with my broken knee.
I wanna show to the judges
that even if life throw me lemon,
I can still make lemonade.
Look at that outfit!
She is holding her shoe,
she has her lipstick all over her face
because she kissed every guy at the club.
She's just a mess.
[laughs]
Ma'am, ma'am, the subway stops running at 2:00.
[all laugh]
Beth.
Beth: I am serving curves and swerves for your nerves.
I've created a mermaid illusion
using this umbrella as the skirt,
as well as a structured bodice
using the red Solo cups on my biddies.
Brooke Lynn: She's making a spectacle with those chesticles.
Suki Doll.
Suki: I'm stepping foot on this main stage.
Look at those long legs. Look at those flowy dress.
Oh, my God, shoulders, structure.
Who is she?
I'm working, and, oops, I might have tripped a bit,
but I look snatch.
I can see her Met balls.
I quit.
[all laugh]
Eve 6000.
Eve 6000: I'm a 1940s film starlet
trying to revive her career with a 1970s horror film.
And here I am at my glamorous premiere
meeting all of my fans.
Brad: This look is giving me wood.
Old Hollywood.
[laughs]
I feel really gorgeous on this runway.
I wanna show the judges
that Eve is beautiful,
Eve is sexy, and Eve can design.
Brooke Lynn: Stephanie Prince.
Stephanie: I'm serving you
colorful neon party explosion,
and I'm the loudest one in the room.
The judges are eating it up.
Brad: You can just tell
she loves a good Nicki Minaj- trois.
Brooke Lynn: Gia Metric.
Imagine the red carpet. Gia Metric is next.
The cameras are pointed in her direction.
She says, "No photos."
Everyone drops their camera and they all start drooling.
This look is too sexy to handle.
We found Richard Simmons!
[all laugh]
She's definitely got a leg up on the competition.
Just the one, though.
Brooke Lynn: Icesis Couture.
Icesis: I am on the runway,
and I am feeling strong, I am feeling powerful.
Well, coat check her out.
I am serving Vivienne Westwood goes to a premiere,
but afterwards she has, like, a business meeting
because she's in charge.
Brooke Lynn: That bitch stole my coat check ticket!
Brad: She's giving me Vivienne West-woody.
[all laugh]
Wow.
Brooke Lynn: Kimora Amour.
Kimora: I am wearing an eighties inspired ball gown,
dripped from head to toe in nothing but what?
Tissue, napkins.
I am giving you model all the way.
She is the party girl.
Brad: She don't serve, she serviette.
You can just tell she has daddy tissues.
[all laugh]
Synthia Kiss.
Are the cameras ready?
I take a step out of my limousine
and I hit my pose for the fans, the photographers.
Everyone's watching me, and I'm watching them.
Now, that's a look you can take to the bank.
Welcome, queens.
Based on your premiere party eleganza,
the judges have made some decisions.
When I call your name, please step forward.
Pythia.
Kendall Gender.
Adriana.
Ocane Aqua-Black.
Kimora Amour.
Synthia Kiss.
You are all...
-Safe. -Oh!
Oh, my God!
Oh, such a relief.
I'm safe, ha ha, in the design challenge!
[laughs]
You may go untuck in the werkroom.
By-ee. By-ee.
Hey, queens.
-Hey. -Hi.
The six of you
represent the tops and the bottoms of the week.
First up, Beth.
Hi.
Beth, I love the fact that you used the Solo cups
and not only cut them up to make this really gorgeous detail,
but then made them black as well,
so you did have some element of embellishment.
Your creativity is definitely there,
but I wanted to see just a little bit more drama.
Okay.
Beth, the dress, like, the corsetry is amazing,
but it kind of stops on the bottom.
I'm better at close-ups. [all laugh]
When you were walking,
it was not as confident as I want you to be.
You look fantastic,
and I want you to come out of yourself a little more.
Presentation on the runway means so much.
Of course. I appreciate that.
Last night, I definitely got overwhelmed,
and it ate into my time.
And I'm not making any excuses
besides the fact that I just didn't use my time wisely.
Can I just say that on the top half is you.
The bottom half is your stinking thinking.
Yeah.
We both have those going on inside of us at all times,
and it's very hard in a competitive atmosphere as well,
but you have it all in you.
Thank you, judges.
-Suki. -Hello.
-Mmm! -Oh!
This eleganza, very 1920s vibe to it.
You did not use a lot from the coat check closet,
but the little you did use was very well used.
-Amanda? -Oh, jeez. Okay.
You scared me.
[all laugh]
I love this.
I want to rip it off of your body
and put it on mine for my next premiere.
I'm very impressed.
I can't wait to see the rest of the season.
Well done.
The only thing that I really had in my mind is Brad.
-Oh! -And I hope I've made you proud.
The fashion was well received by me.
Just make sure,
especially if you're going to wear something
with so much fabric,
that you take the time to learn how it's moving.
That could have been a disaster.
I think I was sabotaged, Brooke Lynn.
You were sabotaged?
You look so snatch and dazzling, I couldn't walk properly.
I trip almost 10 times.
Then my work here is done.
[all laugh]
-Hi, Eve. -Hi!
-How are you? -Uh, terrified.
[all laugh]
I have never completed an outfit by myself before.
I'm definitely getting that old Hollywood glamour.
For me, it's missing a polish.
The waist is beautiful.
The hemline is kind of unfinished.
But I also think it's a little too short,
and I saw, as you were walking,
it kept, you know, moving up and up and up.
An Hollywood movie star
would not have a hemline that was that short.
It was very funny and very charming
and you were very confident.
My problem, really, is the execution.
I commend you, if you have never done this before.
However, you see your competition.
This is not enough.
I love it, I love a drape,
and I love a drape and a ruche and a ruffle.
But I can't see it.
I wish you had chosen a different fabric
for the underneath thing
so we could really see that beautiful moment.
And I love the hip thing. It just--it was--
I wish I had lots of options.
I wish I was a little bit taller.
I wish I was a baller.
-Hi, Stephanie. -Hi.
This, to me, is, like, a Mary Katrantzou design.
Yes.
It was incredibly smart to leave your legs visible,
because I think if you had done fabric all the way around,
it wouldn't be doing for your body what it's doing now.
Thank you.
I cannot believe you completed this
in the amount of time that you were given.
The entire look is so cohesive.
I love how the necklace matches the accessories here.
Is it from a chandelier?
Chandelier, yes. The jewelry, yeah.
You made it fashion, which is so exciting.
This is just chef's kiss.
-Honestly, it's-- -Thank you.
And it was so smart of you
to use those posters with my name on them.
It looks like a pattern.
It doesn't look like writing,
it looks like just all different colors,
and then to tie in the pink down the middle,
that catches the pink in the feathers.
-So congratulations. -Thank you.
-Gia Metric, hello. -Hey.
You definitely worked that runway.
Your confidence, your energy, they're fun to watch,
and you make us have fun while you're doing it.
My only issue is it doesn't really say eleganza to me.
Right, okay.
The look didn't fully come together.
I know that this is what the kids are doing,
but it doesn't really fit the criteria.
I love your energy on the runway.
The confidence is there.
It's just you didn't understand the assignment.
It was red carpet eleganza was the assignment.
Okay.
Icesis Couture.
Hello.
Your name is not Icesis Ready-to-Wear.
You lived up to your name today, honey.
And you just elevated the shit out of this challenge.
This is so special.
I find you very special.
Thank you so much.
Can you take off your glasses?
Ooh.
-Good morning! -Oh.
There she is.
You're not the only pretty bitch here.
[all laugh]
It is very clear, from the mini-challenge to now,
that you did not come to play.
One thing.
Tell me, of course.
I wish the mini-dress side was a little bit higher.
[all laugh] What else do you want, huh?
Actually, that's a great suggestion.
Yeah. See, that.
-Do you like that better? -Yeah.
Because it was kind of--
it was a little matronly just at the knee.
Thank you, Icesis.
Thank you so much, judges.
Thank you, queens.
While you untuck in the werkroom,
the judges will order bottle service.
-Oh! -Hi.
Ooh, drinks.
-The girls! -Oh, my God.
So I think I'm gonna be lip syncing.
-Aah! -Yes.
No, you're not.
I do. I think so.
They said that I didn't understand the challenge.
You're not, because I'm also in the bottom.
Gasp, everybody gasp.
Eve, read the room, my dear.
[laughs]
But I think that you both,
in their eyes, met the challenge.
They said, like, neck up, it was flawless,
but--well, of course, I mean...
Hmph.
-So, honey-boo. -Yes.
You were talked up the ass out there.
-Thank you. -How are you feeling?
I'm actually, like, surprised.
-What? -A little bit.
I just, like, I really doubt myself a lot,
and it's just nice to hear from other people
a "yes" instead of a "no" for a change.
Absolutely.
Ocane, I'm gonna say right now that this is not a great look,
but I know you fucking sold it on that runway,
and I know that's what you were going for.
And that was, like, one of my main critiques, too,
was they didn't see the confidence on my face.
Yeah, they thought that I looked stuck, which--
Do you feel confident?
Um...
I feel like you're a little bit into your mind.
Girl, no, let me tell you something.
Girl, trust me, there's a lot of bitches
that would have cut and fought for this space.
You are here. Be proud of that.
If I am lip syncing, that's what I do.
Then you'll kill it.
-That's what I do. -Come on.
Don't cry.
That's what we do, though. We dance, right?
And perform.
I'm scared.
I have so much more to prove,
and I know I can do that if I can survive this week.
So just between us club kids, whaddaya think?
Let's start with Beth.
There's so much potential there,
but I don't think we saw it tonight.
You could really see the indecision in the design.
The top seemed so confident and creative and so promising,
but then the bottom half of the gown was really flat.
And she's got talent, you can tell, and great creativity.
We just need to see more of it.
The top-up was fantastic.
Who knew those were Solo cups?
However, the confidence and the presentation killed it for me.
Even when we were talking to her,
it felt like it was just, like, blank, you know what I mean?
Icesis Couture.
I just think, like I said, Icesis is so special.
She already knows who she is.
You can see it in her eyes, you can see it in the work,
the way she works the runway.
Do you think I'm special, Amanda?
I think you're the most special.
You're Mommy's pretty princess.
Thank you, Mommy!
I love it when she took her glasses off,
her eyes were still, whoo, just, like, to die for.
It was like a reveal at the eleventh hour.
Head to toe, I just loved it.
I loved how she modeled it.
It looked like she spent a week alone on that top.
I don't know if you noticed that in those big tickets,
there were VIP tickets that were almost, like, they were thinner
and they acted as longer fringe within that fringe.
She ticketed all the boxes.
-Oh, my gosh. -Oh, Dad.
-That's okay. -Dad joke.
I'll be here all season.
-[laughs] -Groan.
Now, Gia Metric has the body, the face, the attitude.
I felt like her look was a little more Xanadu.
More like Xana-don't.
Exactly.
I'm disappointed, honestly.
I was really excited to see what she brought,
and I was a little bit underwhelmed.
Do you think she's a bit too confident?
I think maybe.
I think she was just relying on her personality
and her presentation to carry her through,
and she just didn't really think about the assignment.
Yeah.
Stephanie.
Stephanie's creativity blew me away.
I thought it was very smart, clever.
I thought it was a great job.
It was beautifully constructed, it was modeled beautifully.
She's feisty and sparky, but in the best way possible.
And I don't even know if a lot of super-skilled designers
could pull that off and have shape.
She challenged herself. Go, Calgary!
The first ever Calgary queen on the show.
She's representing.
And she's representing the midwest of Canada.
There we go.
Eve 6000.
My problem was with the execution.
It just looked a little sloppy,
and if you're gonna put that much time
into an inspiration and story,
put the same amount of time into your garment.
It was almost there for me.
If that bottom had been longer,
I think it would have been really beautiful.
I liked that she was having fun on the runway.
She wasn't afraid to be campy and different.
It's a really tough one,
because I feel like there's a star in there, right?
She's amping up, I think.
I think she's getting--you know, she's, like, maybe an Eve 3000.
And I think we came down a little bit, you know.
[all laugh]
Caitlin for the win, ladies and gentlemen.
Suki Doll, that entire garment was beautiful.
It was artistic and whimsical and daring.
I feel like every element was thought of,
and then she got onto the runway
and was like, "Oh, damn, I gotta walk in this now."
I loved it, but my one thing is
most of that look was from the Fabricland wall,
and very little was from the coat check closet.
Well, we have some big decisions to make.
Bring back our bottle girls.
Welcome back, my queens.
We've made some decisions.
Icesis Couture.
On the runway, you were on a roll,
and your look, my dear, was the ticket.
Suki Doll.
Your premiere party eleganza
made us wanna give you the key to the VIP.
Stephanie Prince.
In theory, your look should be all wrong,
but on the runway,
you had the DJ playing our favorite song.
[laughs]
Icesis Couture, con-drag-ulations.
[cheering]
Yes, girl.
You are the winner of this week's challenge.
You have won an amazing home entertainment package
valued at $5.000 from The Source.
Ooh!
Oh, my God, I'm the winner of this week's maxi-challenge.
Oh, my God, I did it!
You may join the other queens.
Suki and Stephanie, incredible work.
You are both safe.
You may both step to the back of the stage.
Beth. We liked what your look was about,
but your runway presentation seemed coat-checked out.
I'm sorry, my dear, but you are up for elimination.
Gia Metric.
Your face is acute,
but your runway look tonight was obtuse.
Eve 6000.
Your personality had us drunk in love,
but your runway tonight left us with a hangover.
Gia Metric.
I'm sorry to say, but you are up for elimination.
Eve 6000, you are safe.
Please join your sisters at the back.
Thank you.
[sniffling]
[sobs]
It's not a good idea for me to take this step right now.
Oh, my God. Aah!
See, I told you it wasn't a good idea
for me to take the step right now.
Eve, the judges just told you you're safe.
Shut up. Cry about it tomorrow.
[cries]
Bitch, I'm literally standing here
about to lip sync for my life,
and all I can hear is this, like, howl in the back.
[cries]
Eve, I know a theater queen, and you put on a good show.
Cry for the camera, honey.
Two queens stand before us.
Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare
a lip sync performance of Nelly Furtado's Maneater.
This is your last chance to impress us
and save yourself from elimination.
The time has come... [thunder]
for you to lip sync...
[echoing] for your life.
I am going up against
one of the best performers in the entire country.
I know what Gia's capable of, but I am not ready to go home.
I am gonna sell this song.
Good luck, and don't fuck it the fuck up.

Proud of myself, disappointed, but I have to remind myself

I met some amazing people.
My life is gonna change forever after this experience.
