- And then there were three. (suspenseful music)
- It's happening!
- [Guest Judge] Fire and Icesis!
- [Brad] You just elevated
the shit out of this challenge.
- [Traci] I find you very special.
- Fuck yeah, bitches!
- Pythia. - Pythia.
- When they say the art of drag,
this is what they mean.
Pythia, for me, is an original.
Just next level.
- Fuck me.
- Okay, that could be arranged.
- [Brad] You came on to the stage ready to play.
(laughing)
- The only one that matters is Kendall.
- [Brooke Lynn] You really just knocked it out of the park.
- [Amanda] I loved your energy.
- [Brooke Lynn] You were always such a joy
to see walk down the runway.
- I was obsessed with it! (laughing)
- And scene. (suspenseful music)
- [Brooke Lynn] The battle for the crown starts right now.
- This is it.
This is what we have worked so hard for.
- I'm here to slay the competition.
- I'm Canada's next drag superstar.
(RuPaul laughs maniacally) (suspenseful music)
- [Brooke Lynn] Let the battle begin.
(upbeat music)
- Girl, I'm the Beyonce, okay? (all laughing)
Oh my god. - Oh my god.
- Gia has now been eliminated.
I always pictured me and Gia going all the way
to the very very end.
So this is sad.
- I left my heart and soul and on that stage.
I love you all.
- Aww, G.
- What a star.
Like, I have grown to just like,
absolutely adore that bitch.
- Yeah, me too. - Same.
- Well, it's time to move on.
Ooh, I've never done this before!
- Oh you haven't? - Oh it is your first time!
(laughing)
- Doing the circle.
Aw, bye Gia.
- I love you, girl. - We love you.
- Love you, girl.
- And she's a fucking icon. (smooching)
(Queens wailing)
- Top three! (laughing)
- Where did all of that come from, Pythia?
- Literally. - Not some of this.
Not this! - This, girl, this!
It was the, girl no,
it was the vogueing for me.
- And you did it with such, like,
oh my gosh. - Yes, girl.
She said Paris is burning,
but she said Athens is burning.
(all laughing)
- Athens is burning!
We are the top of the top.
This sisterhood that I have with Icesis and Kendall
is so strong and powerful.
But you know, at the end of the day,
it's a competition,
and if I have to cut up some wigs
and set some clothes on fire to win,
maybe I'll do that, who knows?
No no no, I play fair.
- So grandma.
How are the knees?
Because bitch jumped and went down.
And we know you ain't got good knees.
- They are just fine. (knees cracking)
- I heard a crack!
I heard the crack! - Shush! Shush!
- I heard the crack. (laughing)
- We are top three! (suspenseful music)
(Queens screaming)
- It's anyone's battle,
but I feel like a crown
would look real correct on this head.
Oh, that feels so good.
- This competition has taken my knees.
It has taken my patience.
It has taken the last bit of youth
that was left inside of me.
But they're sizing me up for my crown.
You can't keep a good bitch down.
Let me tell you that, baby!
- Don't tip me, honey. (laughing)

- It's a new day in the Werk Room,
and I feel incredible.
I'm in the top three!
- Ladies, top three!
- Oh my gosh! (wailing)
- Doesn't this feel correct?
- It feels very proper.
- It is final three.
We are literally losing our minds.
We are so happy and so proud to be here.
All three of us earned our spot in this finale,
and we could not possibly be more different.
- From the get-go,
my eye just went directly to you.
You were the type of drag that, like, I enjoy looking at.
You have such a specific lane that you're in.
Being able to do something like Drag Race.
Girl, you did so well. - Yeah.
- I think I have the best track record here.
So just give it to me.
Give me the crown already.
- I didn't know who you were before you walked in,
but the second that I saw that mug,
and I saw your (indistinct) outfit, bitch,
that I knew.
I knew. - Aw, thank you.
- You I've known for a while,
and I knew, they're in the top with me.
You know? - Yay!
- It felt right.
I was like, there's no other way.
And also like, I was like, damn,
how many ways can she wear a body suit?
- I knew it! (all laughing)
- That was the biggest surprise.
- Three ways.
- They gotta pick on something when you're that flawless.
- Exactly! - Aye!
(siren wailing) (all yelling)
- Here we go! - Ooh, Canada!
She done already done had herses.
Kendall Gender, (upbeat music)
Icesis Couture, Pythia.
Con-drag-ulations.
Drag Race royalty is all over the world.
But now I must ask.
Are you that girl?
To rule all of Canada,
only one will go forth
to represent all the queers
as their Queen of the North.
- Aw!
- Come on, top three!
Come on, season two! (Queens screaming)
Come on, Canada's Drag Race!
- Come on, navy suit! (all laughing)
- My Queens.
Your coronations is almost upon us.
(laughing)
Tomorrow, one of you will be crowned
Canada's next drag superstar.
But not the Queen of the North,
'cause that's my fucking title.
- Okay.
- Just so we're clear.
You can be a Duchess,
you can be a Countess,
you can be a Princess,
you can be a Viscountess.
Just not the Queen of the North.
(laughing)
For your final maxi challenge of the season,
you'll be writing and recording
a brand new remix to my song,
"Queen of the North,"
written by Stacy Kay and Leah Canali.
(Queens screaming)
- Oh my God.
That's fucking cool.
- You will be in the recording booth,
working with none other than moi.
(Queens laughing)
You will then learn some fierce choreography
from the one, the only,
Miss Hollywood Jade. (Queens laughing)
- My girl!
- No!
No!
- She's out. (laughing)
- If I can not nail this choreography,
it will affect me getting to the crown,
and I did not make it this far
to not be the winner.
- And on the runway,
you better bring your best coronation eleganza.
Because bitch, we're crowning!
But before you become pop princesses,
you'll be doing a photo shoot
with a very special guest.
Racers, last time I get to say this.
(all giggling)
Start your engines!
And may the best drag Queen win!
(all laughing) (suspenseful music)
- That's how it's done, beautiful.
(upbeat music)
- Oh, what?
(screaming)
- What's my name?
- Priyanka!
- Come join me! - How are you?
- Hi! (kissing)
I was just here,
enjoying the last few minutes of my reign.
So if you could just excuse me.
(laughing)
- No bitch, it's mine.
- No, it's mine. - No, it's mine.
- You're fine.
It's fine, really, and truly, it's fine.
What's my name?
Not Pythia, it's Priyanka.
Ha ha, whatever. (laughing)
- I love Priyanka.
She is such a powerful energy.
She is Canada's first drag superstar,
and I think she has something of mine.
(laughing)
- Being Canada's first ever drag superstar
truly changed my life. - Yes.
- Are you ready for it to maybe change your life?
- I am ready for it to change my life,
but also, like,
everybody else's life that I'm going to touch.
You know what I mean?
- Yeah.
- I represent the underground scene,
the non-binary, trans folk, the drag kings,
Queens, things, monsters.
I want to give back to my community,
and bring everybody to the forefront,
and just let the monsters reign!
(laughing)
- What's your journey been?
- It's been amazing.
Honestly, like, I have been sort of consistently in the top,
except for the roast,
which we're not gonna talk about.
(laughing)
It was like a weak moment for me,
and I kinda like, got in my head.
Right before I went on.
And it kinda like worked against me, obviously.
- I love seeing your body hair.
- Thank you. - Chest hair out,
ready to play. - Oh yes, 100%.
- Like, explain the look to me.
- I just really want to celebrate my body,
because I've spent so much time
sort of hating myself for who I am.
And I don't necessarily identify as male or female.
I'm sort of in the non-binary spectrum.
And I really wanted to showcase my best drag,
as sort of, you know, celebrating my body.
- That's literally what Canada's Drag Race is all about,
is like celebrating- - Oh, 100%.
- Exactly who you are. - 100%.
- Are you ready for your closeup?
You are gonna direct me in a photo shoot
that we are gonna do together!
- Oh my god, okay, let's do it.
You are going to pass me that crown,
and repeat after me. - Okay.
- You are Canada's next drag superstar.
Not yet, not yet, (laughing)
just joking, just joking.
I have to direct Priyanka into this photo shoot,
and I know exactly how I want it to go.
Hold up my leg.
Hold up my leg, let's do it. - Hold up your leg, alright.
Oh yeah.
(Priyanka wailing)
- I think I like her on the floor
with my foot on her. (laughing)
It's over, bitch.
This is Sparta! (laughing)
- You know, you could just leave me here.
- No, it's okay, it's okay.
Here, thank you. - I'll be okay.
You have a good day.
(engines revving)
- Great energy, Priyanka. (upbeat music)
(screaming)
- Kendall! - Bitch!
- Oh my god, you look beautiful!
- You too, sister!
It's Priyanka!
What's her name?
And if you don't fucking remember it,
bitch has it all over her entire outfit.
- I'm working in the set deck today.
- Yes. - So I'm gonna put you there.
- Love it. Well, you need a new job, babe.
- I need a new- (laughing)
Wow, okay.
So, how has your journey been?
- It has been up and down.
And like- - Like you had
your Miss Cleo moment?
- Yeah! (laughing)
Not in Snatch Game, though, sis.
It was the design challenges for me, bitch.
- Any wins?
- Any wins, yeah.
I won the comedy roast challenge.
- You're a comedy Queen?
You're not funny! (laughing)
- Well, I'm funny looking, bitch.
- That's why you won.
That's why you won. - Yeah.
- What would it mean to you, like,
to win this whole thing?
- I feel like I've been training my ass off
for so many years in so many different ways,
and I'm just like,
so excited to be able to get, like,
a platform like this,
and an opportunity like this
to share what I love,
and what I love to do.
- Are you ready for your closeup?
- Of course, bitch. - So your gonna direct me,
in a photo shoot. - Oh my goodness.
- That we're gonna do together.
- Okay. - Okay?
- I sit and then you can stand behind me.
And kind of like,
do a moment like this. - Oh we're being fierce.
- And you're like the villain.
- I'm the villain. - Yeah.
- Wow. Here we go.
Okay great, this is fun.
Photographer man, do you like this?
- We are loving this.
- This is cute, are we getting ass?
- Kendall, can I have you on the other side, please?
- Honey, I can go wherever you want.
- That's great. (laughing)
- Me and Priyanka are so chaotic.
Our energy is like, (wailing).
So this is like a whole circus.
- Try and snatch it from her, Kendall.
Yes! - No bitch, it's mine!
I don't want to be washed up!
Love you bitch!
Con-drag-ulations again. - Thank you so much.
- Bitch! (laughing)
Fuck off.
- You. - I'm here!
- You look beautiful. - Thank you, baby.
The last time I saw Priyanka,
I was opening for her.
But now, I'm gonna snatch her crown.
- So how does it feel
to be so close to the crown?
- Girl, the journey I have been on.
I'm so happy that I have been a part of it.
I'm so happy I'm the first Ottawa girl.
- So how have you been in the competition?
- I've been doing really really well.
- Like lots of wins?
- Two. - Which ones?
Which ones, which ones?
I know nothing. - Both were design challenges.
- Oh! - Yeah.
- So why are you wearing this?
I'm just joking. (laughing)
- Oh shit!
- How confident were you
that you'd be here in this moment
when you first came in?
- I know I'm a good drag Queen.
- I love that. - And I know
that this is where I need to be.
- Did you learn anything new about yourself?
- I learned that I can accomplish
and do a lot more than I allow myself
to believe I can.
- Wow. - Yeah.
Like, I'm so proud of myself.
Like, it like,
bitch, I can fucking do it. - Yeah!
- And I can do it all.
- Did you ever doubt yourself?
'Cause that happens in this competition.
I went through it.
- It wasn't necessarily that I doubted myself.
It's more like this is just so out of my comfort zone.
And I just got in my head,
because I care so much about this competition.
The hardest thing literally just was
getting out of my own way,
and just having fun.
But I did good on Snatch Game!
Did you?
- Alright, well that's a wrap. (laughing)
- Just kidding, girl.
Let's do it. - Ready?
So we're just giving sexy, fun.
- Yeah, let's do that,
and then we'll do Prom.
- Hot. - Yeah.
- [Photographer] Can I switch you around?
- Yes. - Wow.
- I think that's- - This is my good side?
- No, this is actually the exit door.
They're just trying to push me out that way.
(laughing) (upbeat music)
- Yes, high fashion.
- You're gonna take this. - Oh, and the crown, okay.
- And you're gonna crown me.
- Oh. - Yes.
- Do you want me to be snatching it,
putting it on, crying?
- Give me what you feel giving up the crown.
- No!
(Priyanka wailing)
Oh hot.
(upbeat music)
Are you a fashion Queen?
- Girl, I made everything I brought.
- What? - Yeah.
- Guess what?
I didn't make anything I brought.
- We could tell. (laughing)
- Damn.
- This way, yeah yeah.
Well, make it pretty, girl. (laughing)
Priyanka looks absolutely beautiful.
I look absolutely beautiful.
Looking beautiful is what we do.
So we're just selling it to the camera.
(speaking in foreign language)
(laughing)
- What does that mean?
- Do you like my pussy?
- You like my- (laughing)
Get off, get off.
Bye! - Okay bye!
- Alright well, that's a wrap, ladies and gentlemen.
Good luck finding this.
(laughing maniacally)
(engine revving)
- Let's get to rapping, honey.
- Let's get this done.
We get to sing on Brooke Lynn's single,
"Queen of the North."
We get to write our own verse.
I'm just, I'm excited.
- What are you writing about?
- I think about highlights,
being a fashion girl, winning.
This is your last chance
to show the judges,
show your sisters, show the world,
why you deserve to be here.
- I'm just gonna make a joke
of some things that have happened,
I guess. - Yeah.
- I'll try to work it in there, and yeah,
just describing myself in a way.
Yeah, what I stand for, kind of.
Clearly I want the win so bad,
but I feel like I really need to translate
this excitement into my work
in order to take that win.
- Obviously I'm gonna like, make fun of myself,
'cause that's the best fucking thing to do.
And then yeah, just serve that cocky bitch attitude.
- Yeah.
- There's no moment on this show
where more people have been looking at us three.
So we have to kill this.
Well, the last time I did a singing challenge,
it didn't go so well for me.
- Yeah we noticed, we noticed. (laughing)
- Yeah, definitely,
definitely wasn't top of the charts for me.
So I'm gonna switch it up. - Not even the bottom
of the charts, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Hello hello hello! (engine revving)
(all wailing)
- Hey divas, you ready to sang?
- Yay!
- Are you ready to sing?
- I was born ready.
- Same. (laughing)
- Let's give it a try, let's go.

- Hello, hi hi hi. - Hi Pythia.

- She be ready. - You fucked me up
for two weeks. (laughing)
- But here's the thing,
that was your crash course.
'Cause now it's about to get serious.
- Yeah. - Five six seven eight.
Bevel one, open two.
Three, switch four, point.
The right hand is coming across.
So it's like, chest, open, up, open.
Look at my crown.
Here we go, five six seven and.
One two three four,
five, switch six, and seven.
- Sorry, that was fast.
- Shit, that was fast. - Yeah, honey.
Have you heard the song? - I know I know.
No, yeah yeah yeah.
- She moves.
- This choreo is hard.
This is some Janet Jackson backup dancer shit.
Ooh, this is gonna be a tough one.
- Step, touch, five, six, and seven, switch eight.
Kendall, how are you doing?
- I feel like it's a lot of intense choreo,
but I believe in myself.
- I believe in working for what you want.
- Yeah.
This performance is the most important
performance of this entire competition.
Because it's anyone's game right now,
so I really want to stand out.
- Three, four, five, six, and seven, eight.
One more time, it's okay, it's okay.
Pythia.
- I can't not move that fast.
- Think. - Yeah you can, girl.
Yeah you can, yes you can. - Yes you can.
It's totally possible. - Yeah, you can.
We can do this. - $100.000.
- Run to it!
Run to it, run to it! - Alright.
- Right now, I have reached my peak,
which is about here.
But Hollywood Jade is up here,
off-screen, off the camera, like, (laughing).
No human can move like that.
He's a lizard person, I know it.
(laughing)
Conspiracy confirmed.
- Icesis, how are you feeling?
- I'm so happy to see you guys again.
I really am. (laughing)
- I meant with the choreography.
- Oh. (laughing)
I'm gonna say that I'm perfect,
because I'm scared of what's gonna happen to me again.
So I'm fine!
The knees! Let's pray to the knees.
Can we just have a moment of silence for my knees?
We will do it, we will get through this.
At the end of it, I will take you for ice cream.
- One, two, three, four,
five, six, and seven, eight.
- You make it look so easy.
- He is flowing like water,
and I'm hoping to get to that place, too.
- All this choreography, you'll have to do with props.
So you have to know what you're doing.
- Oh, fuck.
I thought this was done.
I was like, wow, we did it.
- No, honey.
Forward, up. - Fuck.
- Back, place, crown, up, down.
She's giving boop.
Versus gung gung.
Yeah?
We want boop. - Not the gung gung.
- Exactly. (laughing)
What I want you all to do and understand
is that your individuality is what got you here,
and what I'm gonna do is do the best that I can
to sprinkle as much of into this as possible.
I know that all of you are capable
of executing what it is that we've created.
- 100%.
- But it's going to require you to show up and do the work.
I wish you all the best.
I think the world is in for a treat.
Once we get these counts and these steps
and these hits right. - And the right legs
to the right places. - There you go.
Thank you so much. - Thank you guys.
- Thank you! - You're welcome!
(engine revving) (upbeat music)
(all moaning)
- [All] Top three! (laughing)
- It's coronation day! (laughing)
Oh my god.
Oh my goodness.
Okay ladies, while we get ready.
- Yas.
- Let's talk about our favorite moments here.
- Aw that's a fun game. - On Canada's Drag Race.
Yeah.
- For myself, it would be the comedy challenge, for sure.
That was just like my most fun experience.
- So the moment you won.
- Yes, well I'm, get ass. (laughing)
Get ass, yeah. - Fair though.
- I think I love that like, look that I was giving,
and I just loved my vibe and energy, and it was like,
yeah, I felt arrived, if you will.
- Since we're going with winnings,
literally just coming out of the door
with the very first win. - Yeah.
- And it happened to be a design challenge.
I'm very grateful.
- My first winning week was very very,
like, special to me, you know what I mean?
It was like, musical theater.
I was very much in my element.
My costume for the night was very iconic,
and I was so proud that I got to showcase it.
- I think I would say that that's my favorite
look that I saw.
- Oh my god, thank you.
- What is one thing that you guys learned
about yourself being here?
- I learned that it's okay to be myself,
and that people who I want to have in my life
will understand why I am the way that I am.
- I think I learned that I can do so much more
than I can give myself credit for.
And just being here is a testament that hey, no, I did it,
and I can do it,
and I can do way more, probably.
- And you did it well.
- Yeah, thank you. - Like very well.
- I think for me it's just about
celebrating the flaws within myself.
My favorite parts about this experience
was just really realizing that like,
life is not perfect.
Everything is not perfect.
And that's where you really settle in
to the most fun experience of everything.
That's what I'm gonna take away from this.
- I love us.
- I love us, too. - Aww, thanks.
- I know.
- Who do we think the trade of the season was?
(laughing)
- Adriana's really cute.
- I was like, Adriana, yeah.
- I think Adriana's the trade of the season.
- I don't really look at any of you guys like that.
If I had to choose, Kendall.
- Oh my! - Yeah.
Either Kendall or Adriana for me.
- Not me being the trade of the season.
(laughing)
Is it all the track suits?
(laughing)
- Baby, you know I like a good track suit.
- Yes! (laughing)

- Welcome back, (engine revving)
our beautiful, beautiful Queens.
You have all been on quite the journey.
Yesterday, you all did a photo shoot,
with season one winner Priyanka.
Icesis Couture, here is your best photo.
- [Icesis] Wait, hold on.
- Yeah take it off. - Take it off.
- Yeah, there we go. - There we go.
- [Icesis] Oh my god, it's amazing.
- You look absolutely stunning.
What was your journey from the very beginning
to get to this moment right here?
- The road to where I am today
definitely has not been easy.
I come from a Hispanic household,
where me being me was just not okay.
I come from a household of physical violence.
I come from a past of trying to take my own life.
And I came to a point where I needed
to take control of my own life,
and find something that made me happy.
And that's something that I found with drag.
I've spent the last 14 years
sacrificing and trying so hard
to just have a moment like this.
(melancholy music)
And being here and sharing it with all of you
has literally shown me that it's okay,
it's okay to be me.
I deserve to be here.
I deserve to be in this place.
Everything that I've been through
was absolutely worth it.
I could possibly be Canada's next drag superstar,
and I'm so proud of myself.
And thank you all so much for believing in me.
(sighing) (judges laughing)
I did it! (clapping)
- We are so proud of you.
- Thank you so much.
- Kendall Gender.
- Hi. - Hi.
Here is your best photo with Priyanka.
- Oh. - And you look stunning!
- Oh!
- Tell me about your journey to get to this point.
- For me, when I was born,
I think as soon as I came out,
I was very flamboyant, I was very effervescent,
instantly from day one.
And unfortunately, for me, at a very young age,
I went through some pretty serious abuse.
And my trajectory from that abuse
turned into a very serious problem with drugs and alcohol.
And for me, drugs and alcohol stole
so many years of my life,
and so many opportunities that I feel like
I could've had.
The thing that turned my light back on was drag.
And was getting to express myself in this art form
and in this community.
It just makes it feel correct,
and I really truly feel like
everything that makes me who I am,
it puts me on this stage
and it puts me in these stilettos,
and it puts me in control of my own destiny.
- I'm like, on the verge of tears.
- You okay? (melancholy music)
- When you first came into the competition,
there was something in you that I noticed
that you just described.
There was just this innate joy,
and this extreme feeling of you
being so present.
And then-
- It's okay, it's okay.
- When they told me that you were sober,
that's exactly what I was responding to,
because I just celebrated 20 years
before we started this journey together.
And it was so beautiful to me because
finding out that what I was responding to
was that light and that joy
that I tried to dampen out myself as well for many years,
and you are gonna help so many people.
So, thank you for showing up every single day.
- Thank you.
- Pythia.
Here is your best picture with Priyanka.
(laughing)
- It's so cute! - It's so cute.
Tell me about your journey.
- My journey started in Greece.
I grew up in a very, very, very religious,
conservative surrounding.
And from the moment that I was brought into this world,
I had all these expectations thrusted upon me, in a way.
Walking a certain way, speaking a certain way,
acting a certain way.
Every single little thing that I did in my entire life
growing up there,
was deemed wrong.
And I grew up hating every aspect of myself.
Because when you're so young,
and everybody tells you this is wrong,
don't do it this way, don't sit that way,
don't cross your legs that way,
you think that there's something wrong with you.
I would pray for relief,
or by miracle to be fixed, somehow.
And I wish I could grab my younger self
from the shoulders and shake him and be like,
your prayers are not being answered
because there's absolutely nothing wrong with you.
And when I discovered drag,
I literally sculpted myself from stone.
I realized the strength that I had inside of me,
all these fantasy worlds that I created as a child
because I couldn't find the space for myself in the world,
I found a way to bring it all to life,
and to apply it, whether I was in drag or not.
If I hadn't found drag,
I would not be the person that I am today.
- You are absolutely right, there's nothing wrong with you.
- Nothing.
- And I think you are such a phenomenal artist.
- Thank you.
- Well, we have one more picture.
Bradley, what would you say to young Alexa Diamond?
- Oh my gosh! (all laughing)
- No, no! - Alexa Diamond!
- Alexa! - Oh my god.
- [Brad] There's a baby drag Queen.
- [Brooke Lynn] And she is beautiful.
- [Brad] Oh my god, you guys.
- What would you say to her, Brad?
- Listen, babe. (laughing)
I would say,
I would say smooth out your boobs a little bit.
One day you'll be wearing real Versace,
not a knockoff. (laughing)
You know, she tried it.
She really tried it.
I love her. - I love her too.
Queens, (dramatic music)
it is now time for your final critique.
- Oh yay!
- [Brooke Lynn] Starting with Icesis Couture.
- Well, Icesis Couture.
You came out today a full-on power house.
- Yay! - From beginning to end,
you nailed every single beat.
I just couldn't take my eyes off of you.
You looked like you were having a great time.
- Even when it wasn't your verse,
and you were walking across the stage,
or you were over in the corner,
it was full 100 the entire time.
- This look is incredible.
It's thoughtful and weird and unique
and sexy at the same time, which is you.
- From your head piece down to your feathers on the trim,
it's just gorgeous.
It's couture, it looks expensive, it looks lavish,
it looks like Icesis Couture.
- I love that each week you come out
in something different,
and you kind of run the gamut.
You do beauty, you do glamor,
and then you come out in this really crazy
alien wedding dress moment,
and it's incredible.
And I loved your mouth piece.
Your mouth was gaping, our mouths were dropped.
- When you spoke tonight about your childhood,
and you spoke about being other-ed,
and being a child whose home was full of violence,
I can relate to that.
And I know what that does to a person.
You put up a shell,
and you start second guessing yourself,
and you could wither away,
or you could be Icesis Couture,
or Traci Melchor,
and be bigger, and shine, and dazzle.
And that is what you have done.
You've taken pain,
and you've made it into Icesis Couture
that we see standing in front of us today.
Thank you for sharing your journey,
the good and the bad,
because you've helped so many people
who are struggling right now,
and are feeling very hopeless and maybe worthless,
and maybe feeling like they don't count.
And you have made them feel seen.
- You're all getting me.
- This is just the beginning of the Icesis Couture party.
And I want to be on the VIP list for it.
(all laughing)
- I'll give you free tickets, I promise.
(all laughing)
(upbeat music)
- [Brooke Lynn] Kendall Gender.
- Hi.
- Your verse, fire, hot, H-O-T, H-A-W-T,
exclamation point, exclamation point.
You came out like the West Coast diva that you are.
Mic drop moment.
You really owned that stage.
You have this Beyonce superstar energy about you.
- I realize it was a trio, and everyone was fantastic,
but you, my darling, were the lead of the performance.
I couldn't take my eyes off of you.
It was just, just powerful.
- You also nailed the choreo.
Which is not easy to do,
'cause I know Hollywood Jade. (laughing)
He likes to try it with you. - Yeah.
- Your look tonight is beautiful.
I'm so happy to see you in a gown.
I love all the crystals.
You just look stunning.
- I think this is a really special look,
because I understand it now.
It was the last design challenge,
and you explained to us,
you did this over-exaggerated hip thing.
- It's always something that I try to do within my drag
is bring my culture and my heritage,
and really what I believe in.
Also, the hair,
because traditionally,
these kind of styles are not presented
in a glamorous way,
and we have so many issues with it
throughout our community and throughout the world,
so I wanted to stand here in my full realization,
and show you that this is beautiful,
my heritage is beautiful,
and what I represent, I believe in.
- You have an "it" factor about you
that can't be fabricated,
and it's extraordinary to watch.
It can't be diminished, so again,
I want you to just keep growing
and keep loving yourself, because you are worthy,
you're extraordinary,
and the world deserves to see your light.
- That joy that you know you have,
you share with the people that are in your space as well,
whether it's in the Werk Room,
or whether it's us watching you.
And thank you for that.
It came across so hard tonight,
with all of your drops and your splits,
and you were just like in it,
and looked like you were having the best time.
- Thank you so much.
I love you.
- Last but certainly not least,
we have Pythia.
I mean, come the fuck on.
Like- (laughing)
- You have just upped the bar so high,
and this runway tonight,
it is breathtakingly beautiful.
It is a perfect way to pay homage
to your culture.
And the clever details,
like the rolls as a peplum,
that stoning is just beautiful.
Your hair and makeup.
You're a vision.
- Your talent is endless.
And today, you smashed it.
- Thank you.
- You did a fantastic job.
It was totally in your lane and in your fashion.
It was quirky, it was so good,
and you were so committed and fearless.
- I love when you said that
you've taken some of the fantasy from your youth,
and you've parlayed it into these incredible looks
that we've seen every week.
You know, sometimes we say, you know,
stay in your lane, or people have their lane.
You've built a whole highway.
Like, you really have. (laughing)
You've really built your own Pythia universe,
and we love to live in it.
- I think you have such integrity in your drag.
There is no stone left unturned with you.
There's nothing that has not been thought about,
and I love how you also shape shift from week to week,
and we get to see all these different sides of you.
And you really represent for the non-binary community.
- Do not let anybody ever
try to change who you are,
what you stand for, who you represent,
because it is so fantastically wonderful.
Thank you so much for everything that you brought.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Queens.
While you untuck in the Werk Room,
the judges will deliberate.
You may leave the stage. (engines revving)
(upbeat music)
- Oh my god. - Oh.
How bittersweet is this?
- I know. - Yeah.
- The best thing about this top three
is that we are actually all so close.
Like, I love them so much.
But that doesn't necessarily mean
that I don't want this for myself.
I also love myself a lot,
and I feel very deserving of this title.
Our lives are gonna change so much.
Like, if we win this crown.
Like, it's so crazy to think that.
- I never practice an exit line.
I never practice an exit speech.
And I never practice a lip sync letter on the mirror.
I never wanted to visualize myself
anywhere but the top.
The crown is gonna give us a whole new platform
to do what we love.
- When I walked into this competition,
I thought it was going to be a very different experience,
but I have been broken down and remolded
into the best version of myself.
Now I truly believe in myself,
and I believe in my skillset like never before.
- It's crazy that we are top three.
The things that would change with the crown,
just could change absolutely everything.
- Totally. - It's a once in a lifetime.
You will never get this opportunity again.
- I want to make a difference.
I want to bring beauty to the world.
I want to spread a message of love,
and just like, acceptance,
while just looking so good.
- I'm so proud of all of you.
- I am so proud of us. - I am so proud
of you guys too, yes. - Oh my gosh.
- I'm gonna miss you guys.
- Yeah. - Like, I really am.
And I finally found people that I don't mind.
(laughing)
So this has been great for me. - We don't mind you either.
- Not you not minding us.
(laughing) (engine revving)
- Well, now to pick a winner.
We have quite the decision to make.
Let's start with Icesis Couture.
- She won the first fashion challenge,
and she has continued to, every single week,
give us so much variety.
You know, you never know what you're gonna get with her,
but you always know it's going to be elevated,
it's going to be fashion,
and it's gonna be Couture.
- She is a fantastic all-around Queen,
and I think that's really hard to compete with
when she's that good at everything.
- And she's also really malleable,
and we've seen this evolution of her
from being a lone wolf, kind of quiet,
to finding her voice,
and really stepping into the spotlight.
- Can we talk about her in this final challenge?
Ooh, like she just came out guns a-blazin',
from like, the start.
And I really could not take my eyes off her
the whole performance.
- She really has the whole package.
- Up next, Kendall Gender.
She has really proven herself
that she deserves to be here.
- It was a slow burn,
there were peaks and valleys,
but she literally was like a rocket to stardom
at the right time.
She showed up, she listened,
she always put her best foot forward no matter what,
and that type of mentality will get you very very far.
- Very far.
She's had some really great moments in this competition.
Her performance in the Rusical was amazing.
- Great. - And then her roast of me.
- Fantastic. - So good.
- I mean, I cried all the way home.
(laughing)
- And I know we got on her
for all of the body suits,
but damn, girl can rock a body suit.
- She can rock a body suit.
- I like the body suits.
And a body suit also highlighted
that incredible silhouette.
I love she talked about the Black women's physique,
and you know, the snatched waist,
and the bigger hips.
And nod to culture with the Bantu knots and the braids.
Because she's right, you know.
There's been a lot of thievery
of Black women's aesthetics.
You see it on other people and not being attributed.
And I love the fact that she's bringing
that type of message to Canada's Drag Race.
- Up next, Pythia.
- Our Grecian goddess.
She is the quiet storm, you know.
You never know what to expect from Pythia.
- Week after week,
I was always the most excited to see her
turn the corner on the runway.
'Cause I just never knew what I was gonna get,
but I knew that it was just gonna be flawlessly executed.
- Pythia has been so consistent
throughout this competition week to week,
and the ability to be able to create things in your mind
and stories in your mind and concepts in your mind,
and then execute them flawlessly,
and then perform them, wear them and perform them,
is so exceptional.
Like, her artistry is above and beyond
anything I've ever seen.
And tonight's look,
my breath is still taken away.
- Can we talk about that verse?
- Smart.
- Anybody that can put Grecian goddess,
abra cadabra, and witch in a verse,
and make it sing?
Drop the mic. - Yeah, yeah.
- Works for me.
- Pythia in performance is great,
which again, is her ability to kind of
funnel who Pythia is
into whatever she's doing.
- I love that she takes up for the queer community
and the non-binary community so hard,
and she's so proud to represent them.
And I think that is so beautiful and powerful.
- She, to me, is just the new frontier.
- Whoever wins this title,
whoever we give this crown to,
has to represent the incredible,
incredible, incredible drag
that we have seen on this stage.
- This season has been next level across the board.
- Next level.
- I'm so proud to be Canadian.
- Have we made up our minds?
Bring back our Queens.
