RuPaul: Previously on Canada's Drag Race...
You will overact in a slasher film
that we're calling Scream!
[all scream]
Aah!
[all scream]
You were so eager and willing to hit your marks.
You made me laugh.
You hit all your jokes.
Adriana, con-drag-ulations.
You are the winner of this week's maxi-challenge.
Synthia Kiss, shantay you stay.
Stephanie Prince, sashay away.
We've got no fucking hands to hold.
Oh, my God.
What is going on?
"Just letting you guys know that I love y'all,
"and you should be so proud of yourself.
"Back to being a bitch. [all laugh]
"I hate y'all.
"JK. I'm so horny.
-Steph." -That's funny.
I just lip synced for my life.
It just feels very real all of a sudden.
This is a competition,
so it makes me feel gratitude that I'm still here,
but also just a ready spirit for whatever is thrown at me.
Stephanie, I'm sad, because it's a sister that's leaving us.
But at the same time, it's exciting,
because here I am, still in the game.
Synthia, how did you feel about lip syncing?
It was intense, but I am very proud of myself.
You should be.
You were so beautiful up there.
Thank you.
When you look through the ball, it almost hit her.
When you threw the ball, baby!
How close was it?
The ball slapped her face.
[slowed down audio] Slapped her face.
-Whoo! -It was, like, this close.
It was, like, borderline violence.
Oh, my God, do I need a lawyer?
[all laugh]
Adriana, congratulations.
[cheering]
Gimme some of that cake, bitch.
I am silent, but I am coming for you.
[all laugh]
Silent but deadly, baby.
I am on cloud nine, and I feel powerful.
Oh, my God, so I feel that it's time to take this off, ladies.
[laughter and cheering]
Get me outta drag!
Top nine, fuckers.
Pythia, it is so good to see you again.
I'm right here!
This competition is heating up,
and I'm ready to fight to stay here.
Ahh!
I'm an Aries.
I ferociously go after my goals.

Last week was so intense.
What a whirlwind, honey.
Eve, so how does it feel to be in the top?
-Yes, girl. -Yes, Eve.
And this week I'll be winning, so congratulations to me.
Well, you've been saying that since day one.
[all laugh]
-Hold your breath. -The delusion is real!
It's real!
Well, you'll see, girls.
I feel like I've turned around my trajectory
in this competition,
and I am ready to start winning some fucking challenges.
Gia, you were also in the top.
It feels really great.
So I was in the top two weeks in a row.
I'm very proud.
But I'm fucking hungry. I'm starving for the win!
[all laugh]
-Your time's gonna come, Gia. -Yes.
Patiently waiting.
I don't know about that, but next topic.
Yeah, see how no one's laughing?
[all laugh]
[alarm]
RuPaul: O Canada.
She done already done had herses.
Hey, ladykins!
[cheering]
I'd like to take a moment
to quote Canada's unofficial poet laureate...
-Drake. -Oh.
Everybody dies, but not everybody lives.
Or in other words,
step your pussy up, and we'll see what gives.
-Ooh. -Ooh.
I love a giving pussy.
Oh, hey, queens.
[cheering]
Come on, outfit, MC Hammer.
Fashion.
Ladies, we are a few weeks in and a few weeks older.
I don't know about you,
but I've really been feeling this aging process.
-Yeah. -For example, I now need these.
-Oh! -Oh!
Whoo!
What? You've never seen a pair of reading glasses before?
-Ooh. -Ooh.
Well, call it fate,
because the library is officially open.
[cheering] Come on!
Today's mini-challenge is all about reading.
Because reading is what?
-Fundamental! -Fundamental!
Now, who wants to wreck la bibliothque?
The library is open, darling.
Oh, the glasses switch.
Now she can't tell who's who, though.
[all laugh]
Adriana, congrats on your win, girl.
Don't say anything, because the guy who does your subtitles,
honey, he's off today.
[all laugh]
-Eve 6000. -Uh-oh.
The only thing more wrecked than your emotional state
is your hole.
#hemorrhoids.
[all laugh]
-Not the hemorrhoids! -Not the hemorrhoids!
Pythia, girl, with a nose like that,
you remind me of Pinocchio.
I'm just shocked it didn't grow nine inches
when you told Eve you think she's gonna end up
in the top of this competition.
You liar! [all laugh]
Eve, getting to know you
is like going to the movie theater.
I'll sit back, relax, and watch
as you project all of your scripted emotion
over the entire room.
[all laugh] Cue the crying!
[imitating Eve crying] Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo.
[laughs]
Kimora, we can tell that you're from the ball scene.
I mean, your lashes love voguing.
Yes, baby! [all laugh]
And Gia. Or should I say Gigi not as good?
-Oh! -Oh!
That was a good one.
I knew it was coming.
Oh, no.
All right, let's go.
Gia Metric, I see where you got your name.
Your head is a square, your silhouette is a straight line,
and your track record is a circle.
[all laugh]
Suki Doll, oh, my God.
The spirit is giving me a message.
It says...
you're a little bitch. [all laugh]
Period.
Kimora, I almost sat on you last time.
I thought you were the toilet seat.
You got so much shit coming out of that mouth.
[all laugh]
-Icesis Couture. -Uh-huh?
Or as I like to say, Icesis H&M.
I make all my stuff,
and I think your outfit was the worst last week.
-Oh! -Ooh!
Isn't that right, Brooke Lynn?
[mumbles]
[all laugh]
Can we skip Icesis?
Next up, we have Icesis Couture.
I'm so quiet, like...
-It's always the quiet ones. -I know.
Gia Metric, you're definitely
one of the most talented queens here.
That talent will take you so far,
and I hope you stay there.
[all laugh]
Eve 6000.
Sister to sister, let me give you some advice.
Don't ever be ashamed of who you are.
That's your parents' job.
[all laugh]
Ooh!
Oh, she went in.
Brooke Lynn Hytes.
Yeah.
We're so happy to have you back in Canada.
-Thank you. -You know what they say.
You can take the girl out of L.A.,
but it takes three to six months
for the L.A. to dissolve out of the girl.
[all laugh]
Yes!
Kendall, you have the greatest--
sorry, grayest breasts I've ever seen.
[all laugh]
That bust got dust, girl.
That's a dusty bust, okay?
-Yes! -That was so good, okay.
This library is officially incinerated.
[all chuckle]
Now, you are all some shady ladies,
but one of you is a full-blown solar eclipse.
The winner of today's mini-challenge is...
Icesis Couture.
[cheers and applause]
Shady!
You've won $2.000 in cash courtesy of Tan on the Run.
-What? -Gimme some, girl.
And it looks like you could use it.
[all laugh]
Now...
are you ready for a starry night?
Because it's time to separate the media rights
from the media wrongs.
For this week's maxi-challenge,
we'll be playing...
the Snatch Game.
[cheering]
Oh, shit!
Snatch Game, snatch.
Sorry, I had a flashback.
Come on, Celine.
[all laugh]
You know the rules.
Give us your best celebrity impersonation.
But most importantly,
fill in those blanks and take us to the laugh bank.
Racers, start your engines,
and may the least shitty one win.
[all cheer]
-Bye! -Bye!
Today is Snatch Game!
The Snatch Game is an impersonation challenge,
but it's also an improv challenge.
Oh.
-Oh, wow. -Oh, wow.
It's a comedy challenge most of all.
You have to be funny.
This is the one that I came here to do,
and I'm ready to win.
Are you guys ready?
I honestly don't know who's doing who.
Yeah, I'm not really sure who is who either.
You know what? Like, I'm not a celebrity person.
Me, too, yeah.
Sometimes that's actually good for Snatch Game.
Yes, because you have your own opinion of it.
Yeah, because you can create whatever the hell you want.
I feel like this competition has been so flip-floppy.
I literally went from the top to the bottom
in, like, the snap of a finger.
So we just have no idea.
Snatch Game makes me feel like I'm competing.
-Yeah. -You know what I mean?
-This is Drag Race. -Yeah.
The Snatch Game is honestly
the most iconic part of Drag Race,
because a lot of the impersonations that win
go on throughout the drag performer's career forever.
I'm back, my dream queens.
Hello.
Now let me see those snatches.
Oh!
-Smell my finger. -[laughs]
Hi, Icesis.
Hi, Brooke Lynn.
So tell me about who you're thinking for Snatch Game.
I've decided to go with a woman named La Veneno.
Yes, of course.
-She's an icon. -She is, like, yeah.
La Veneno is a gay icon
from the early nineties in Spain.
She was on a lot of television shows,
she had music.
Just, like, on a personal note, my drag mother is trans.
Uh-huh.
So I just have, like, a connection.
I've been raised by, like, a pack of trans women.
I think this is a great character,
and I love that you are paying homage to a trans icon.
-Have fun. -Thank you.
-That's what it's all about. -The pleasure's all mine.
Thank you. Bye, baby.
Bye. [laughs]
Hi, Pythia.
Hello, Brooke.
Tell me who you're gonna do?
My very first choice would be Grimes.
She's a Canadian singer,
but she's also the partner of Elon Musk.
Is this something that's in your wheelhouse?
What's a wheelhouse?
The realm of what you do in drag.
Not really.
It's gonna be a little different from what I do,
but I feel like I can really build off of it.
I just wanna have a little fun.
Yeah, I can't wait to see how it turns out.
-Thank you, Brooke. -Thank you, Pythia.
-Adriana. -Hello, hello.
I love an animal print.
Now, I don't want you to tell me who you're doing.
I want you to show me.
I don't want why, it seems so obvious
if I have this beautiful hair.
Oh, Sofa?
Sofa Vergara.
-I love it. -Thank you.
She's also from Colombia.
I love her.
I'm gonna use my accent as a strength
and just turn it a little bit more cochina,
something, like...
-Yeah. -You know?
I love that you're confident,
and you've just gotta commit to it and make us laugh.
Certainly I will.
Thank you, baby.
Hello, hello, bonjour.
Hi, Suki.
Who do we have here?
Okay, so we have an artiste.
-It's Yoko Ono. -[gasps]
Can you give me a little Yoko?
Yes, of course.
♪ Aah ♪
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
♪ Aah ♪
Ugh, ugh.
And there's more.
[laughs]
What I like about you
is that you don't take yourself seriously,
but you take the work seriously,
and that's a very important thing to separate,
which makes me excited for Snatch Game.
-Thank you so much. -Thank you.
-Hey, Brooke. -Hi!
How are you?
I am good.
Give me a little bit of your character,
and I'm gonna try to guess.
Bitch, I love glitter and cocaine.
[laughs]
I have no idea who that is.
I am doing Ms. Leslie Jones.
That's a great personality to do.
I think so.
I'm very quiet, actually,
when I'm at home and by myself.
This gets me to show my personality
when I'm with my friends.
That part that's kind of raunchy,
that part that's just kind of silly and stupid
and just loves to have fun.
You're on fucking Drag Race.
Bitch, have fun, goddamn it!
I couldn't agree more.
Well, it's so good to finally talk to you.
I hope it's the first of many.
-Thank you. -Bye.
Hello, hi, Gia.
Hi, Brooke Lynn.
Tell me about who you are thinking.
Okay. We've got the breasteses.
-Thinking Anna Faris. -Uh-huh.
That voice that she does where she exhales a lot,
she's a little quirky and awkward.
And then my second option is Jim Carrey.
Okay, that intrigues me.
Can you give me a little Jim Carrey?
Oh, yes.
-[laughs] Okay. -Yeah.
I see it.
Can I hear Anna?
Oh! Oh, my gosh.
Oh!
Oh, Brooke Lynn, oh.
You are very good at turning on a character.
Thank you.
I can't wait to see you out there.
Thanks, babes.
Hi-ee!
Hi, Kendall.
Hello, bonjour, hi.
So who are we thinking?
So my first choice is Kris Jenner.
Ooh! Okay.
Yes, I think that a lot of my drag
is kind of, like, making fun of the Kardashians.
Obviously, Kendall Gender.
But the reason why I do it is because I do really love them,
and I like their stupidity and their campiness.
So what is it like
being in a competition with your drag family?
In my wildest dreams,
I couldn't have imagined a more perfect situation.
Uh-huh.
Who would not wanna experience this
with your literal best friends?
Do you also feel a sense of competition,
like, "I have to send these bitches home, and I'm going to?"
I think that that's just something
that I struggle with in my life.
I sometimes make the comfort of others the priority.
And in this situation, I just have to remember--
It's all about you.
It's about me, and that's okay.
Well, give us that big mama energy.
-Yes, honey. -I cannot wait.
I got the right color milkers today, I promise.
Perfect.
-Remember me? -Hi, Synthia.
I am so happy to still be here.
Are you? I'm very happy you're here, too.
So let me guess who you're gonna do.
Oh, my God, Brooke Lynn,
I'm, like, literally dying right now
to be Rachel Zoe on the Snatch Game.
Oh!
Things might get a little awkward,
because Brad's here, you know?
Picking Rachel is a really fun choice,
because we have Brad Goreski on Season 2.
I don't know if you know or have watched the Zoe Report,
but Brad was Rachel's assistant, and they had a falling out.
Thank you.
Okay, okay, okay.
Well, well, well, well, well.
-Hi! -Hi, Eve.
-Hi. -Who are you thinking?
I'm kind of known for doing Jennifer Coolidge.
People have seen me do it. That's one option.
Okay.
Okay, do you wanna see the other one?
-Yes. -Okay, one second.
Where did she go?
And my other option is Bernie Sanders.
Holy shit. [laughs]
-I love it. -Thank you.
Brooke Lynn is living for Bernie.
She is feeling the Bern,
and I wanna take a really big risk
and do something that nobody would expect me to do.
I'm a huge, huge, huge fan of Bernie Sanders.
I've watched all of his speeches,
and I know, like, everything about him.
Do you have the mannerisms down?
Yes. Eve studies, yes, yes.
-I really like that. Okay. -Thank you.
This could be an icon-ique Snatch Game.
Yeah. Do I have your vote?
[both laugh]
You have my vote.
We'll party the house down boots, mama.
[laughs] Thank you, Eve.
I am ready to kill this challenge.
Okay, queens, I cannot wait to see what you do.
Just commit, be confident,
and make me laugh my blank off.
Come on!
And tomorrow on the main stage,
category is...
Made In Canada, brought to us by Made.
-Ooh! -Ooh!
Made champions Canadian content,
from film to TV to video games,
encouraging audiences to seek more from their stories.
So before you all launch into superstardom,
we want each of you to pay homage
to a Canadian scene stealer who came before you.
And, ladies, you might wanna make sure you look extra hot,
because joining us tomorrow
is our extra-special guest judge,
Hollywood heartthrob Connor Jessup.
[cheering]
Come on, daddy.
Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
[all laugh]
-Bye! -Bye!
Snatch Game separates the winners from the losers.
Without Snatch Game, baby, huh, there's no crown.
This is nice.
Hi, I'm Traci Melchor and we're live on the red carpet
with Shetalk at the Snatch Game.
The stars are in full force as Hollywood has gone north.
Hola, chica.
Yoko, what would be your favorite Beatles song?
None of them. I broke them up.
Can I get an inhaler?
Because, Traci, you took my breath away.
Come on, shake that ass!
So let's tuck in and get ready for these stars
to snatch fire to the rave.
-Whoo-hoo-hoo. -Whoo-hoo-hoo.
Goodbye. Boop-bioop-bee-doo.
Wha, wha, wha. Wha-wha-wha-wha-wha.
[theme song plays]
Welcome to Canada's gayest game show sensation,
the Snatch Game!
[applause]
I am your host, Brooke Lynn Hytes,
and I am back, back, back again, because...
they won't let me leave.
[laughs]
But now it's time to meet our contestants.
He's cute to boot, and in a suit.
It's Brad Goreski!
Hey!
Brad, I am so excited you're here.
I couldn't miss it.
I absolutely love a good snatch.
Do you?
OMG, it is social media sensation Bomanizer.
Hey, Bomanizer, if you could have your own reality show,
what would it be called?
Canada's Next Top.
Top what?
That's it.
I like it.
And now let's give a big Hollywood North hello
to our panel of stars.
It's experimental pop princess
and the wife of Elon Musk, Grimes.
Hi, ding-a-lings. I love your work.
[all laugh]
How do you pronounce your son's name?
E=MC2.
I named him after my wifi password.
[all laugh]
Please welcome comedy legend Leslie Jones!
Hey, white RuPaul, how you doing?
[all laugh]
So, Leslie, tell me, what do you look for in a man?
Nine inches.
[laughs]
I think she's looking at you.
I think I'm her type.
You my type. [all laugh]
She is one of the most beloved LGBTQ icons of Spain.
La Veneno.
Hola, chica.
[speaking Spanish]
La Veneno, tell me, how are you enjoying the Canadian weather?
My English is not very good.
Mm-hmm.
And neither is this accent.
[all laugh]
And all the way from Calabasas,
Kris Jenner's in the house, y'all.
Oh, hey, Ellen, it's so good to be back here with you.
You are doing amazing, sweetie.
Up next, it's Yoko Ono.
Performance art is everywhere.
Performance art is you.
Okay.
All right, then, it's Jim Carrey.
Hey, how's it going? [laughs]
You know what? I can't seem to remember the name of this game.
Is it So You Think You Can Snatch?
Oh, wait, it's the Snatch Game.
[laughs]
He is our favorite socialist.
It is U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders.
I've been double-vaccinated.
So tell me, when you run again, Senator,
who are you gonna choose as your running mate?
I think I really need to capture the gay community.
And I think RuPaul would be a great running mate.
I might donate.
She's loquacious and oh, so curvaceous.
It's my Colombiana, Sofa Vergara.
It's a pleasure to be here. You never invite me.
It's like you don't love me.
[all laugh]
Do you?
I love you, Sofa. That's not true.
Love this country so much,
it's so cold, I don't need a bra.
[all laugh]
Up next, it's a stylist to the stars, Rachel Zoe.
Hi, babe-babe.
Rachel, I have to ask you, do you recognize anybody here?
Yes, let's address the pink fashion elephant in the room.
Brad, I respect you,
and I would do anything for the gays.
[laughs]
It's nice to see you again, Rachel.
It's been a while.
It has.
I'm a few clients less, but that's all good.
[all laugh]
All right, so y'all ready to snatch up with the stars?
Let's get this energy started. Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
-I want what he's having. -Yeah, no kidding.
All right, first question.
The weather in Canada can be such a drag.
You get 10 months of winter and two months of blank.
[sniffs]
Bomanizer?
You get two months of disrespect.
-Oh! -Oh!
Let's see if we have a match.
Sofa, what did you put down?
Well, because I'm very hot right now,
just looking at this papacita, I said, "moist."
Two months of moist.
Oh, Sofa, I think we have a nip slip.
[gasps] Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
Can we get some fashion tape, people?
This is a fashion emergency. [all laugh]
Oh. Ooh! Sorry!
I'm not kidding, guys. Fashion tape.
[all laugh]
Kris Jenner.
Two months of bladder leakage, doll.
My vagina is the size of a football field.
Grimes?
Okay, so as you know,
I gave birth to an external disk drive.
I am raising him with, like, a nonbinary computer code
so that he could choose to be
either a desktop or a laptop when he grows up.
So I said, "nuts and bolts."
That's all he poops.
[all laugh]
Clink, clink, clink, clink, clink.
La Veneno.
[speaking Spanish]
What did you write down?
[speaking Spanish]... la pusseta!
Two months of... la pusseta.
Ai! La pusseta!
Ai, you don't even know what it means?
¡Escndalo!
-[laughs] -What is happening?
Subtitles, please.
All right, well, there were no matches, unfortunately.
Oh, shoot.
[laughs]
Next question. Hey, Brad?
Did you hear about the new technology for drag queens?
It's an app that helps drag queens find their blank.
Oh!
It's an app that helps a drag queen find her tuck.
Oh, mine goes missing all the time.
Jim, did you hear about the new technology for--
No. [all laugh]
Come on, come on, give it to me.
It's an app that helps drag queens find their blank.
Oh, my gosh, let's find--
Oh, my God, some energy!
Aah! I'm just fucking shakin' up here!
Oh, my God. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Oh, my God.
-You're looking sexy over here. -Whoa.
Yo, honey, it's me, Jim Carrey.
[laughs]
[all laugh]
Do you feel better?
Absolutely.
[laughs]
Bernie Sanders.
I think this is an app
to help drag queens find their healthcare.
97% of drag queens are uninsured or underinsured.
#Facts.
Rachel.
Wait, what?
Sorry, Brooke, I'm a bit distracted.
I'm confirming award season gowns with Cameron Diaz.
So, yeah, things are a little bananas right now.
[all laugh]
Synthia is always on character,
and she's bouncing back and forth so easily.
Like, that is Rachel Zoe standing right there.
It's terrifying.
Can't talk right now. Playing the Snatch Game.
Okay, bye, babe.
All right, Yoko.
It's to find the Mother Superior.
Yoko is performance artist.
The performance is you put around the body.
You can call it art or performance.
Well, thank you, Yoko.
Comedy is subjective?
Maybe.
Sofa, it's an app that helps drag queens find their blank.
Boobs.
Boobs. Because people love boobs, and I love boobs,
even if I got botched a little.
Yeah.
The judges have stopped laughing,
and I am trapped in this character.
People know me for these.
Not a match, unfortunately.
Fuck.
Next question. You won't believe what Bomanizer went viral for
on TikTok this time.
His account blew up after he taught his dog how to blank.
Bomanizer?
Reclaim the word "bitch."
How empowering!
Let's see if we can find a bitch-- I mean, a match.
Leslie Jones, what did you write?
"Sit up and beg" like my titties.
[laughs] Like your titties?
Like my titties.
How do they do that, exactly?
-They beggin'. -[laughs]
They beggin'! Yeah!
Yoko Ono, Bomanizer's socials blew up
after he taught his dog how to blank.
You went viral, too?
Because me, in my time, I went viral to pose nude.
I was a bit younger,
so down there, it look a little bit more like this.
And you can see through the lips,
and this is why I went viral.
Did you pose nude?
Well, no?
Yoko. Girl, she broke up the Beatles,
and now she's breaking up Snatch Game.
Up next, Bernie Sanders, what did you put?
Oh. All right, all right,
I think that Boman taught his dog how to win an election.
And I have to say I am open to lessons.
Oh!
And I would love to put you in that position,
among many others.
Rachel Zoe, what did you put down?
Okay, you guys, I don't really understand this one,
but my gay intern, who I call Brad number two,
told me to say it.
She done already done had herses.
Brad, do you care to respond to that?
I only care to respond to you that I wasn't an intern.
Oh.
I was an assistant.
-I died. -[laughs]
Babe.
-Babe. -Babe.
-[snores]
-Major. -Bananas.
I died.
Babe.
I just went to an alternate reality.
Talk to Grimes.
[all laugh]
System reboot. Grimes--hee hee hee--logged in.
Hello.
-Hi! -I'm back.
Where did you go?
Just charging my third vagina.
-Your third vagina? -Yes.
[all laugh]
What did you write down?
Oh, my goodness, I wrote down "speaking Latin,"
and honestly, I would love to collaborate with her
on my next album.
What is your album called?
Honey, This Is The Apocalypse, Baby.
[all laugh]
[giggles]
[sniffs]
All right, well, that is all the time we have for today.
And the winner of the Snatch Game is...
Me!
Isn't that a first?
[all laugh]
Congratulations.
Bomanizer and Brad, thanks so much for playing.
And we will see you next time on the Snatch Game.
Don't do it. She'll look terrible.
How are you feeling?
I'm disappointed right now.
I feel like it was a safe performance.
I feel like it was middle of the road.
I was so excited to play Bernie.
Yeah.
Snatch Game was really challenging.
For some reason, I just thought I was gonna really pull it off.
Don't get in your head, sis.
I'm disappointed because I kind of set myself up
for disappointment with that, you know?
You think that's the thing?
I mean, I don't know,
but I can't control it, so I don't fucking know.
Absolutely you can control it, baby.
See, this is-- but that's what I don't need.
Like, I don't need a pep talk.
No, it's not a pep talk.
I just wanna make sure you're okay.
I'm just saying I'm disappointed right now.
I think it's okay for me to be disappointed.
I think what some of these girls need to understand about me
is that I'm just a complainer,
and I don't need a therapy session
every single time I'm a little irritated about something.
I'm not gonna tell you guys how to react or respond,
except for right now I just wanna be done with it
and move on to the next conversation.
Well, I'm trimming my eyebrows, just to let everyone to know.
[all laugh]
Am I feeling cute today, or I'm feeling more boot?
-More what? -Boot.
You shady bitch.
Suki has a very good sense of humor.
It comes from the fact
that I was never seeing myself represented in the TVs
or, like, as a queer drag queen.
That really pushed my personality
and pushed my drag persona to be this headstrong woman.
To find my place in the community,
I had to stumble, I had to fumble,
I had to be living on the edge.
There's no true opening
for, like, an Asian drag queen like me.
You have to be typecasted,
so it's always, okay, can you do Lucy Liu?
Can you do Asian character?
So that's why you're booked.
-The filler, yeah. -Filling that spot.
The filler queen in the cast. Yeah.
And that goes, I think, for all of us,
with all of our different nationalities.
I know for the Caribbean, South American community,
while there is so much progression in certain parts,
there's complete oppression in others.
Like, you can't wear makeup, you can't be feminine.
So, you know, being from these countries
and being able to represent is just so important.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
As a child, if I knew that a lifestyle like this
was possible for people like me,
it would have made things so much easier.
So I came out to my parents.
They were like, "Did someone rape you?
Do you want to be a woman?"
They're, like, nobody in my family is like you.
Why do you wanna do this right now?
Back home in Greece, gay people don't exist.
It's like we're not part of society,
we're not part of culture, we're not part of anything.
I have learned to accept
that they do not grow up with people like me,
so my parents haven't seen a person like me on TV.
But, like, I'm very happy
that I at least can be this Greek queer icon right now.
And I get to show them, look, I have a family.
I have friends that love me for who I am.
You know, I'm--like... [sobs]
Like, I never thought
that I was ever going to be able to live this life,
and I'm just so thankful.
I'm sorry.
I just want the world to see
that there is more for people like me
than disease and loneliness.
That's not what we are.
We are successful artists.
We are teachers, doctors, friends, lovers,
and I want my country and people like me
to see someone like me do so well
and exist and be happy and proud.
That's you, doll.
-Yeah, absolutely. -Exactly.
You're that person that's gonna inspire others.

Welcome to the main stage of Canada's Drag Race.
His looks are prime, and he's a vision in lime.
It's Brad Goreski!
Hey!
Brad, did our queens make you laugh today?
They gave me a big old funny boner.
And look, it is queen of the small screen, Traci Melchor.
Hey, Traci, how do you like your nuts?
Henny-roasted.
[laughs]
[all laugh]
Ooh, I wanna dress him up in my love.
It's Connor Jessup.
Hey, Brooke Lynn.
Hey, Mr. Jessup, you wanna see my tickle trunk?
Happily.
This week, our queens showed us
their most sickening celebrity impressions in the Snatch Game.
And tonight on the runway, category is Made In Canada.
Racers, start your engines,
and may the best drag queen...
[music plays]
Win.
♪ You've got the spotlight ♪
Brooke Lynn: First up, Kimora Amour.
Kimora: So this look is inspired by Deborah Cox
as the incomparable Josephine Baker,
a Canadian who is from a similar background,
and who is the anthem to the gays.
Deborah Cox is an icon.
Oh, no, I think she's got a canarial disease.
[all laugh]
She is selling, she is serving.
I am giving you a lady of the night,
but not in that way.
Brooke Lynn: Next, Synthia Kiss.
Synthia: Jeanne Beker is a Canadian icon.
Lights, camera, fashion.
I'm doing her because she was my gateway to fashion.
I'm backstage, getting those interviews.
No one can stop me.
I'm wearing yellow, goddamn it.
She's got the fashion world on her shoulders.
[all laugh]
Brooke Lynn: Next, Suki Doll.
Suki: This inspiration
is Sandra Oh from Double Happiness.
Her family is struggling with her art,
her love life, her everything.
It's just so relatable,
because being misunderstood is what I was for years.
History is on the runway, so you can eat it all up.
Traci: Sandra Oh, no, she better don't.
Brooke Lynn: Adriana.
Adriana: Vanessa Morgan is the lesbian queen of the serpents.
Oh, my anaconda do.
[all laugh]
She is this Afro-Latina badass woman,
and embodies female empowerment.
Rhinestones, leather, latex.
I look sexy.
Connor: I'd let her slither in.
Brooke Lynn: Like my hair, it's Gia Metric.
Who is that sexy bitch?
Gia: She is Mike Myers.
As a kid, he inspired me to be kooky and outrageous.
Traci: I'd love to see her gold member.
[all laugh]
She is wearing blue velvet,
she has sexual ruffles,
and you better take it all in.
Brad: Throw me a frikkin' boner here, people.
Get in my bussy! [laughs]
What accent is that?
I was supposed to do a Scottish accent.
Brooke Lynn: Now Kendall Gender.
Yes!
Kendall: I am Canadian icon Stacey McKenzie.
Stacey is a beautiful representation
for the lighter-skinned Black community.
You can tell she's very well red.
This wig is laid, bitch.
I have braids cascading down my back.
I am here to show those judges these golden shoulders, bitch.
I miss you, Stacey.
Next, Eve 6000.
Eve: My inspiration is Carrie-Anne Moss.
She was in the Matrix movies.
They were directed by two trans sisters,
and I think it's really important
to represent my community in that way.
I am cinched within an inch of my fucking life,
I'm padded for the gods,
and I am walking puddles on the runway.
And I look gorgeous for once,
because all the other looks have been so campy and stupid.
Is she gonna take the red pill or the blue pill?
Brooke Lynn: If she takes the blue pill,
she'll last all night.
Next, Icesis Couture.
Brad: Well, this look is mint.
Icesis: My runway look is an homage to Sandra Oh,
my hometown girl,
with her iconic role as Grey's Anatomy.
Paging Dr. McCreamy.
I am a nurse, doctor, fashion.
This is a love letter to all the medical workers.
Just to put a smile on their face
after the shit that they've went through for the past year.
Traci: Oh, she gets the D. The M.D.
Brooke Lynn: And finally, Pythia.
Aah! [all laugh]
Pythia: I am drawing inspiration
from Catherine O'Hara.
Growing up, I didn't necessarily have any icons
that I could look up to that were exactly me.
So I was always attracted to these weird, eccentric women.
Okay, I heard she had a "claws" in her contract,
but this is ridiculous.
Women like her are the driving force of why I do drag.
Brooke Lynn: Wow, she really Moira Rose to the occasion.
[all laugh]
Caw-caw-caw-caw-caw-caw-caw!
Welcome, queens.
Based on your performance in the Snatch Game
and your runway presentations,
we have made some decisions.
When I call your name, please step forward.
Kimora Amour.
Synthia Kiss.
Adriana.
Suki Doll.
Eve 6000.
Pythia.
You represent the tops and the bottoms of the week.
The rest of you are safe.
You may go untuck in the werkroom.
First up, Kimora Amour.
Your performance of Leslie Jones
had me on the Kimora Afloor, honey.
It was so fun, you kept the character up.
The Leslie Jones was a little one-note,
but it was an amazing note, and you committed to it totally.
I will agree with Connor.
It was a little one-note for me,
but Leslie Jones is kind of that person.
You as Deborah Cox as Josephine Baker,
it's a show-stopper.
I feel like we are seeing you in your true form tonight,
the pageant queen.
It's very presentation at the pageant.
And let's talk about the way you handled the runway.
You had such a command, you took your time.
And I love that you made us want you.
Deborah Cox has always been an inspiration to me.
I had to pay homage to her.
I feather-and-stoned this myself and fringed it.
Honestly, this was my heart and soul in this one.
I think she'd be proud.
I hope so.
Next up, Synthia Kiss.
Well, Synthia...
Hmm. [both laugh]
Portraying Rachel Zoe,
somebody that I know very, very well, you know,
it was like I was there again.
Triggered. [both laugh]
Triggered and delighted at the same time.
Oh, my goodness.
You did such a good job.
Yes!
It was bananas. It was major.
[laughs]
You've now made Rachel Zoe my favorite celebrity stylist.
[laughs] Snap!
-Oh, no. -[laughs]
[imitating Rachel Zoe] What have I done?
Then this look, Jeanne Beker, Canadian icon,
this is just her to an absolute T.
Thank you, love.
I grew up watching Jeanne Beker,
and you did not give us an impersonation,
you gave us the essence of Jeanne.
This must feel really great,
having almost gone home last week.
Yes, it does.
Yes, yes, it does.
Up next, we have Adriana.
When I heard that you were going to be Vanessa Morgan,
I was like, oh, what is this gonna be?
And I think
that this is a really great interpretation of that,
and it has a nice polish to it.
The snakes, the crystals, the purple,
it's all working for me.
It's what I imagine I look like when I used to go to the club.
That's it, right?
Whoo-whoo.
[all laugh]
You as Sofa Vergara,
I thought you had the dress and the boobs.
I feel like Sofa Vergara is more sexy than sexual.
Yeah.
Sofa has kind of like an effervescence,
and there was no pull for me.
I know how it feels. It's not a fun feeling.
-I'm very disappointed. -Mm-hmm.
Because I just feel that Sofa is such an icon.
Send her flowers after this.
[all laugh]
Suki Doll, how are you?
I'm doing very fine.
[all laugh]
Tell me about your choice of Yoko Ono for Snatch Game.
My approach to drag and many things in life
is to challenge yourself,
and paying homage to my Asian culture,
also somebody who is a performer also.
But I didn't blend well my humor with Yoko's personality.
You picked a tough character, and it didn't work.
I was trying to see if you had flashbacks
-or PTSD at the same time. -Oh, my God.
I was, like, where's the laughing button.
But this look, girl, literally all of my clients
are gonna be like, "Where do I get Suki Doll's trench?"
Mm-hmm.
That trench is a number one bestseller.
I think Sandra Oh
is gonna be phoning you for that trench coat.
The color pink makes me wild,
and I like things either big or mini.
Like a big button or a mini burger.
I'm a size queen. What can I say?
-Aren't we all? -There ya go.
-Eve. -Hi.
I felt like you really embodied Bernie Sanders.
But then everything around it, it didn't hit,
and I really wanted it to.
I was really excited when I heard the voice.
I was like, oh, my God.
You sounded like him, you looked like him,
but it felt like a dialed-back version of it.
Your look, however, I love this.
I would wear this. It's beautiful.
As Carrie-Anne Moss, I could feel
that you tried to dial up your runway performance a little bit,
and I appreciate the effort to take our critique
and put it into what we are seeing.
The glasses are amazing.
The green in the gown is beautiful.
When I think of Carrie-Anne Moss in the Matrix,
I think of the really slicked-back, shiny hair,
and this hair feels a little basic and flat from here.
What? Okay.
All right.
It's not flat, but... [laughs]
but thank you.
All right, Pythia.
Caw, caw.
You as Grimes, you were quirky and out of this world.
You did such a good job, and you made me laugh.
I loved it when you logged off.
That was such a great moment for me.
You made all of the little things funny.
Like, I was just, like, what is she gonna do now?
It's so--where are we? What's happening?
When you walked out on the runway,
I checked my notes and all I wrote was, "Fuck me."
Okay. That can be arranged.
You have taken an iconic actress
who played an iconic character on an iconic show,
and you've served an iconic look for Canada's Drag Race.
Thank you. Thank you.
I mean, it's the polish for me.
Like, did you make any of this?
All the looks that you see,
I basically have made all of them.
It's beautiful. I love it.
It's what I've come to expect from you.
Thank you. While you join your fellow queens
in the werkroom,
the judges will dodge the paparazzi.
-Please, no photos. -No photos.
-Speak for yourself. -Right. Right here.
[all laugh]
Hello.
-Ladies. -Hi.
-The tea is piping hot, ladies. -I know.
Adriana.
Hi.
How's it going over there, sweetie-honey?
I just feel that I lost control.
That just the first joke that they didn't laugh,
it just pfft.
So it was a mess in my head. I couldn't think straight.
Miss Eve.
-Yeah, how are you feeling? -Yeah, girl, I'm ready to hear.
One thing that I will say that, like, actually pissed me off,
Connor says that my hair was flat.
When somebody says something that's just not true--
He doesn't do drag, girl.
Yeah. It's fine. Don't take it personally.
Eve thinks she's so amazing.
It's another week of delusion.
And if she's in the bottom, I'm sorry, sister.
Like, I don't care.
Like, you gotta go.
Girl, how are you feeling?
I'm feeling fine. To be honest, I'm very fine.
You know what? You go in choices, places,
and you take your decisions, you fucking stick to it.
Yeah, and in life, that's my approach.
So I tried it, it didn't work out, it's fine.
Yoko was a choice.
-It truly was. -It was.
How do you stay so positive and optimistic?
I come from the projects, right?
So many kids do not get a fighting chance,
or any circumstances that are validating for them.
So what do you do when you have the chance?
You take it and you cry about it?
"Oh, I didn't get that, what I wanted."
That's privilege. I'm sorry.
-No, you're right. -I love that so much.
Well, bitches, start paying!
[all laugh]
So you think this wig is free?
Well, we're all gonna try it on afterwards.
-Oh! -[laughs]
When Eve puts it on, it looks really flat.
[all laugh]
Like, somehow.
Okay, so just between us fame whores...
[all laugh]
What do we think?
Let's start with Kimora Amour.
-This runway tonight, you guys. -Mm.
The fact that she made all of this,
she is just a stunning queen.
And I loved the speed of her runway.
[laughs]
There was no rush, there was no hurry.
It just felt like we were here for her.
And Leslie Jones, I mean, I know she played it big,
but Leslie Jones is a very big personality.
I feel like this is the start of her rise.
-I agree. -It's been very this,
and now I feel like she's finally taking off,
and I'm so happy to see it.
Synthia Kiss.
That Snatch Game, I was blown away.
Like, she did not miss a beat.
The way she interacted with you and the other queens,
I think that's really important,
because you get a sense of improv and being able to ad-lib.
The look of her, the sound of her,
I felt like I was back in, like, 2008
in the studio with her.
And then the Jeanne Beker--
It definitely was a Jeanne Beker-inspired runway,
which was the assignment.
She made it her own.
She just exploded and became, like, a star this week.
Okay, let's talk about Eve.
Looked like Bernie Sanders, sounded like Bernie Sanders,
but I didn't find it funny.
The most important thing that we've said over and over
is "make us laugh."
In her runway,
she was trying really hard to be full of energy,
she was doing the Matrix poses,
but there was something
that felt a little forced to me about it.
I always enjoy Eve's runway look.
It's just the spark is not there.
Last week was great,
and I was thinking she's turning a corner.
But the problem is I'm just not sure we can bring it out of her.
Mm.
All right, next up, Adriana.
She had an idea of where she wanted to go,
and then she just lost her way.
Yeah, I was also disappointed
because what we have seen from her is consistency,
and her runways are polished, chic.
And we never know what we're gonna get from her.
-She won last week. -Yeah.
And she really leaned into her kooky-isms.
-Kooky-isms? -Her kooky-isms.
I like that.
These are my kooky-isms.
Where are my kooky-isms?
-Yours are in your pants. -Oh! Okay, thanks.
All right, y'all, what did you think of Pythia?
As Grimes in the Snatch Game, she knew what Grimes was about.
She was kooky, out of this world.
Does she have kooky-isms, though?
[all laugh] Totally.
When she came out, it was, like, a burst of fun and energy.
She loves to be, like, funny and silly.
Saying all that, I'd love to see some other variations as well,
because my gut instinct is they're just as exciting
and could really crack open her drag so much more.
Next up, Suki Doll.
To do an homage to Sandra Oh
in a trench and a dress and heels
with queens who are wearing feathers and beading
and still make an impact
says a lot about her ability to design.
Another thing I really appreciate about Suki
is she makes me think.
She makes me rethink about what I think drag is,
and what I should see on the runway and what I shouldn't.
It sort of felt like A Tale of Two Cities with Suki.
It was like, it was the best of times
and it was the worst of times.
Very that.
Because her runway look was fashion,
but the Snatch Game was unfortunate.
She got drowned out a lot.
She wasn't able to stake her Snatch Game claim.
Yeah.
Whew! This is a tough one,
and we have a big decision to make.
Bring back our snatches of the day.
Welcome back, queens.
We have made some decisions.
Synthia Kiss.
On the runway, we saw your glow,
and in the Snatch Game, your Rachel Zoe stole the show.
Con-drag-ulations.
You are the winner of this week's maxi-challenge.
Aah! [applause]
You have won $5.000 in cash money
thanks to our friends at Made.
Oh, bitch!
Thanks, Made!
You may join the other queens.
Thank you so much.
This is amazing.
[applause]
[imitating Rachel Zoe] Thank you so much for letting me win.
I think it feels correct.
[laughs]
Pythia and Kimora Amour,
fantastic work this week.
You are both safe.
Thank you so much.
You may head to the back of the stage.
Suki Doll.
You always bring it on the runway,
but in the Snatch Game,
your Yoko Ono was a Yoko, oh, no.
I'm so sorry, my dear, but you are up for elimination.
Adriana.
On the runway, we liked what you created,
but in the Snatch Game, you completely deflated.
Eve 6000.
Your runway look wasn't a concern,
but in the Snatch Game, we did not feel the Bern.
I'm sorry to say, but you are up for elimination.
Adriana, you are safe.
You may join the other queens.
Thank you so much.
Love you. Mwah.
Two queens stand before us.
Prior to tonight, you were asked
to prepare a lip sync performance of Happiness.
Ladies, this is your last chance
to impress the judges and save yourself from elimination.
The time has come... [thunder]
for you to lip sync...
for your life.
[exhales]
Typical Suki. She's very positive.
I love her so much, but I'm coming for blood.
Ooh, let's sing, babies.
Let's bust some moves.
Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
