00:00Previously on Canada's Drag Race,
00:03Canada versus the world.
00:04We're having a ball.
00:08Category is, AI-generated queens.
00:13The robots have taken over.
00:15Supermodel of the new world.
00:17Alexis Mateo, congratulations.
00:20Oh my God.
00:21The queen I've chosen to give the golden beaver is,
00:26Kennedy Davenport.
00:29Tynomi, sashay away.
00:37Oh, Lord.
00:38Bless her, bless her, bless her.
00:40Tynomi is gone.
00:41I'm very sad.
00:42I've lost a Canadian sister.
00:44I've lost a friend outside of this competition.
00:46So I'm heartbroken.
00:47Canada, you better win.
00:50Ooh, oh, oh.
00:52Tynomi's the first Canadian to go home
00:54and I feel really bad that our last moments together
00:58were spent arguing.
01:00You're mad at one thing,
01:01now you're mad at something else.
01:01No, I'm mad at everything.
01:02Okay, then stay mad.
01:04Whatever.
01:05Okay.
01:05Okay.
01:06Tynomi, I'm gonna get this win for you.
01:09This is so hard in gloves.
01:11Well, it's only four words, luckily.
01:13Yeah, thank God.
01:14We love you, Tynomi.
01:15We do love you, Tynomi.
01:16We love you, Tynomi.
01:17Right, let's sit down.
01:18Yeah, oh honey.
01:20You know my feet turned in, honey.
01:23Oh my God.
01:24Well, we survived the ball.
01:26We survived the ball.
01:28Just.
01:29Congratulations, girl.
01:30Yes, congrats, Trace.
01:33I sort of blacked out on that stage.
01:35I don't really know what just happened.
01:37I'm not gonna flop anymore in this competition
01:39and I need to retire that death drop
01:41because my back is killing me.
01:44I gave everything in that.
01:47You really did.
01:47I love your dancing and stuff.
01:49It was really fun to watch you perform like that.
01:51But she was pointing, she wasn't dancing.
01:53Oh no, Miss Kennedy's calling you a pointer sister, girl.
01:55Yeah, she was pointing, she wasn't dancing.
01:57But it was good.
01:58I'm a champ.
01:59Champ.
02:00Miss Kennedy.
02:03Shay.
02:04Alexis, can I ask you what made the final decision?
02:07Well, first of all, Kennedy has a win.
02:09I think everybody's gonna think that I'm saving Kennedy
02:12because she's my friend,
02:13but I'm actually saving Kennedy because she's my friend.
02:15Ah.
02:18But what about these two?
02:20How y'all doing?
02:20I don't know who you're talking about.
02:21I might have just gotten in a fight with Fierce Alicious,
02:23but now we are the two last Canadians.
02:25So that's my sister.
02:27I hope you know that that was a friendly read.
02:29And honestly, I'm sorry for even coming for you.
02:32I feel like I'm just letting this competition
02:33get to my head.
02:35Girl, they're over here like,
02:36oh my God, we fight.
02:37And they were like, best friends.
02:39I'm like, girl.
02:40To hear those critiques when I've been trying
02:42to push myself, especially after the critiques.
02:44Last week, I thought I was doing the best that I could.
02:47And then to hear them again,
02:47it just made me spiral and go down a dark place.
02:50And I shouldn't have taken out on anyone here.
02:52And I apologize for that.
02:53I just have high expectations of myself.
02:55And I feel like I need to do well.
02:58Otherwise, I'm letting other people down.
03:01But girl, you were in the top.
03:02Yeah.
03:03I know I was in the top.
03:04I just thought like, that was my challenge.
03:06Oh, okay.
03:06Next time the judges piss me off again
03:08and no more powder, I'll just take it with a smile.
03:10I don't know.
03:11I kind of like it when you come here around your mouth.
03:13It's interesting.
03:13I know.
03:14Yeah.
03:15Well, I'm ready to get out this makeup.
03:17Can we get out of drag?
03:19So far, you've fought with everyone.
03:20So really, who's next?
03:22Cheryl, come here.
03:24Come here.
03:25I'm fucking terrified
03:26because I've been in the top three times.
03:28And I know that there's a target on my forehead.
03:32There's one on my back.
03:32There's one at my butthole.
03:33And all these bitches are trying to hit them.
03:36We have no idea what's about to happen.
03:38We have no idea what the next challenge is.
03:40But all I know is if anyone gets the chance to send me home,
03:42they're going to try their fucking hardest.
03:44And that's not good.
03:45What's this?
03:47The winner of Canada's Drag Race,
03:49Canada versus the World,
03:51receives the pleasure of $100,000,
03:54thanks to Trojan.
03:56With Durane Fox,
03:58Brad Goreski,
04:00and Brooklyn Heights.
04:02With tonight's extra special guest judge,
04:04Samantha Bee.
04:10I'm so excited.
04:11I'm so excited.
04:12I'm so excited.
04:13I'm so excited.
04:14I'm so excited.
04:15I'm so excited.
04:15I'm so excited.
04:21I'm the eighth.
04:22I'm feeling great.
04:23It's a new day in the work room and I'm looking around
04:26and I just see losers because I'm a winner baby.
04:32Well, Alexis,
04:33I want to congratulate you on your win.
04:35Oh my God.
04:36But I do want to say if you're the future of drag,
04:40we really should ban drag.
04:41Oh my God.
04:43No, don't even.
04:44That's not funny.
04:46Fierce.
04:48For you, bitch.
04:49Fierce, are you feeling better this week
04:51and not crying about being at the tour?
04:52I'm feeling better!
04:55Yeah.
04:56Oh, girl, shut up.
04:58Did y'all feel extra pressure just being from Canada?
05:00I feel pressure just being here.
05:02And I feel like, honestly,
05:04the last season of Canada versus the world,
05:06a lot of the Canadians were gone very, very quickly.
05:09I have to represent for Canada
05:11because we all know Fierce isn't doing it.
05:15She's gonna kill me.
05:16It's only six of us, so that means
05:18if you're not in the top, you're gonna be in the bottom.
05:20This be the part of the competition that wears me out.
05:24There's no safe. It's just you gotta bring it or you're low.
05:28I gotta be in the top. I'm so tired of safe.
05:30I'm ready to do better in this competition.
05:32Honestly, I'm not mad at safe,
05:34but safe is not what I came here to be.
05:35Honestly, I wanna win another challenge, so...
05:38I wanna win a challenge, too.
05:39I wanna win a challenge, but I don't...
05:41Oh, it scares me. Y'all cannot do this.
05:45She'd have already done had her.
05:47Hello, page-turners.
05:50Hey.
05:51It's a new chapter in the competition,
05:54so you better hit the books.
05:57Library late fees are a real bitch.
06:02Are you?
06:04Oh, shit.
06:06The library is open. Was she reading?
06:09Hola, hotties.
06:12Yeah.
06:13Oh, he is coming with the fashion, honey.
06:15I live. Come on, Bret.
06:18The key to being a good drag queen
06:19is putting your money where your mouth is.
06:22And for today's mini challenge,
06:23you'll put your money maker to the test
06:26in my new game show called Lip Sync or Swim.
06:32Oh, my God.
06:33Bitch, are they gonna get us wet?
06:35Y'all know dragging wet does not mix, honey.
06:38The key is to stay in sync no matter what comes your way.
06:42Oh, God. Oh, shit.
06:43You'll have 15 minutes to get into quick drag
06:46and then come on down.
06:48Oh, Lord.
06:50Ready, set, go.
06:53Oh, God, oh, my God.
06:57Oh, my God, let's do this. Come on.
06:58We only have 15 minutes.
07:03I don't know where none of my stuff is.
07:06I'm just gonna do bad makeup.
07:07Should I do bad makeup, too?
07:09You always do.
07:11Coming through.
07:13Hello, Alexis.
07:14Hey.
07:15Welcome to Lip Sync or Swim.
07:17Ooh, beautiful set.
07:19The game show where you must blow us away
07:22or be blown away.
07:24The rules are simple.
07:26Deliver a fierce lip sync to camera no matter what.
07:30All right.
07:31The song is Just What They Want by RuPaul,
07:33so I hope you know the words.
07:35Me, too.
07:37Just put on your safety goggles right there.
07:39Oh, it's gonna be there.
07:40Oh, my goodness.
07:41It's gonna be like that.
07:43Oh, this is some bullshit already.
07:45Here comes the music.
07:46Hit it.
07:48I know you want to work.
07:50I know you want to work.
07:52I know you want to work.
07:54Boom, check it, boom.
07:55We opening the doors, taking applications.
07:57We scope out the floors of the room.
07:59She focused on the floor.
08:00Potential sensation, the belle du jour trying to bloom.
08:03She hoping for some more coin just for the ball,
08:05but she's ready for the wartime.
08:06Fire resides inside of the fever.
08:08Okay, like, what's the thing?
08:10Like, the wind's not even strong right now.
08:13Yes!
08:16Burn!
08:18I feel like I'm doing really well.
08:20I am starving into the camera, being fierce.
08:23In her outside, I have a mind to ride with her all night.
08:28What the fuck is this?
08:29My birthday?
08:32Fucking hell.
08:34What the fuck is all this?
08:37Bitch, what is all this in my face?
08:40Give them just what they want.
08:41They want to see you.
08:42They want to see you get down.
08:44They want to see you go off.
08:46You know I am in business.
08:48Give them just what they want.
08:49They want to see you.
08:51Yes, yes, yes, yes.
08:53I'm adjusting.
08:55Baby, can't nothing take me away from a performance.
08:58You know I'm looking for the bitch who wants to walk.
09:00Looking for the bitch with the pussy that wants to pop.
09:02Kissing when the pop's with me.
09:03I'm in the dark, making it up.
09:04Here's if the kitty could drip the drop.
09:06It's been a while, but you're hitting the spin, the drop.
09:08Style on beat to the hip-hop.
09:09Vogue for your life.
09:10You ain't trying to get the chop up.
09:12Coming child, but it ain't for the tip-top.
09:14They want to see you get down.
09:16They want to see you go off.
09:18You know I am in business.
09:20Give them just what they want.
09:21They want to see you.
09:22Work, work, work, work, work, work, work.
09:25I know you want to work.
09:26Work, work, work, work, work, work.
09:29I know you want to work.
09:30Work, work, work, work, work, work.
09:33I know you want to work.
09:36I know you want to work.
09:39No shame, phantom weed, the fig leaf.
09:41Wigs get snatched, bring me the wig thief.
09:43No team, no shame, no beef.
09:44But who is the drag commander in chief?
09:46Last I checked, I'm still the boss.
09:48Pay the price, I pay the cost.
09:49Flashy flexing when I floss.
09:51Damn, she wrecks it when she waltz.
09:52Machiavelli to the drop.
09:54Work, work, work, work, work, work, work.
09:55They want to see you get down.
09:56They want to see you go off.
09:58You know I am in business.
10:00Give them just what they want.
10:01They want to see you.
10:04Sex talk?
10:05What the fuck is this?
10:07I know you want to work.
10:09Work, work, work, work, work, work.
10:11It's been so long since I judged a man.
10:14Oh, I'm tired for it.
10:16Work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work.
10:21Oh, good for you.
10:22Work, work, work, work, work, work, work.
10:25Bravo.
10:27My drink come through an orangey.
10:30That was a mess.
10:31Come on.
10:32Somebody call my manager.
10:33Lip sync up, swim my ass.
10:35I hope this show gets canceled and never renewed.
10:39Queens, you all threw caution to the wind,
10:42but one of you was a breath of fresh air.
10:46The winner of today's mini challenge is...
10:51Miss Fierce Delicious.
10:53Oh, my God.
10:55I finally won something.
10:57I won a challenge.
10:59I won a challenge.
11:01You have won $2,500 courtesy of Swish Embassy.
11:07Does this count as a maxi win or, like, half a win?
11:09No, I just said mini challenge.
11:12I haven't counted as one.
11:14Girl, listen, she wants something she can stop pouting now,
11:17my little brat.
11:18Now, we've had a few laughs,
11:20but it's time to get real funny, honey,
11:23because for this week's maxi challenge...
11:26Ooh.
11:28The library is open.
11:30Ooh.
11:32For the maxi?
11:33In pairs, you will face off
11:36in the first-ever reading battles.
11:39Ooh.
11:40What?
11:41This is good.
11:43Well, first of all, what is that?
11:46Like, I ain't never heard of it being called that,
11:49but I know we're gonna have to read,
11:51so let the reading begin.
11:53Bring your best friends to the main stage
11:56and your partner down the house boots.
11:59The winner of each battle
12:01will earn themselves a top placement.
12:03Wow.
12:04While the loser will be in the bottom
12:07and possibly up for elimination.
12:10But first, you'll need a rival.
12:13Ooh.
12:14Miss Fearsalicious,
12:15as the winner of the mini challenge,
12:17you will choose your foe first.
12:20Oh. Hmm.
12:22Who should I pick?
12:24I need to be strategic here.
12:26Oh, my God, there's a lot of shitty bitches here.
12:29Fearsalicious, don't pick me, girl,
12:31because you know I'm gonna destroy you.
12:33I think I'll take...
12:36Lemon.
12:38Ooh.
12:39Let's go, girl.
12:40I am very thankful that Miss Fearsalicious picked me
12:43because the bitch is easier to read than a book.
12:46Lemon, you will choose the next queen
12:48to pick their reading buddy.
12:50I'm gonna let Miss Cheryl Holt pick.
12:53Okay.
12:54I'm gonna pick...
12:57Eureka.
12:58Oh.
13:00Listen, Cheryl is calculated.
13:02She's got a rat face.
13:04If you look like a weasel or a rat in the face,
13:06you are a strategic, calculated person.
13:09Oh, my God, I should put that in my material.
13:12Wow, sis.
13:14Okay.
13:15Oh, shit.
13:17That leaves Kennedy versus Alexis Mateo.
13:21Oh, fuck me.
13:22This is the moment when I need a shot
13:24of something really hot.
13:26To make this roast extra hot,
13:28giving you a helping hand is this week's guest judge,
13:31Emmy Award-winning comedian Samantha Bee.
13:34Ooh.
13:35I'm through, Samantha.
13:37Are you ready to judge a book by its cover?
13:40Always.
13:41Readers, the library is now open,
13:44so start your engines,
13:46and may the best drag queen win.
13:48Ooh, let's go.
13:50Oh, shit.
13:53Oh.
13:55In a comedy roasting challenge,
13:57you need to have thick skin,
13:59like Kennedy's leopard skin.
14:01Wait, not lizard skin.
14:03Sorry.
14:04No, leather.
14:05Sorry, I meant leather.
14:07Leopard.
14:09So, Fierce, what made you make your decision?
14:13Okay, so I know it kind of looks shady,
14:15but I was actually being strategic with it.
14:17I know you the best,
14:18so I felt like I could come up with more material with you.
14:20Also, if I lose against you,
14:22I don't have to lip-sync against you.
14:24You ain't that.
14:26If I have to lip-sync tonight,
14:27it won't be against Lemon,
14:29and, like, she's the fiercest lip-syncer here.
14:31I'm actually really excited about this challenge.
14:33I think it's gonna be fun.
14:34I've done really well in reading challenges in the past.
14:36I won season 10,
14:38and I feel like the reason I won in season 10
14:40was because I was so unapologetic then,
14:43and that's what I'm gonna bring to this challenge.
14:46You know what's smart, too,
14:48is to kind of plan not a full rebuttal.
14:51Some ideas of, like,
14:52okay, these are gonna be what my reads are about,
14:54and then if I have a chance to rebuttal things,
14:57I'll use these.
14:58I think that's where I come alive.
15:00Like, the in the moment.
15:01Yes.
15:02Whereas letting my brain tick, tick, tick, tick, tick,
15:05I'm like, fuck.
15:06I'm really trying my hardest
15:08to not let my inner saboteur sneak up on me.
15:11Coming off last week being in the bottom,
15:14it's starting to make a cameo,
15:16and I'm not letting some inner saboteur bitch consume me.
15:20Okay, this one is kind of, like, mean, but...
15:22I mean, I love mean jokes.
15:24No.
15:25Lemon.
15:26When life gives you lemons,
15:27you're supposed to make lemonade,
15:28not, like, a shitty album.
15:29-♪♪♪♪
15:31I like that one.
15:32Going into this challenge,
15:34I'm gonna have to put my friendship with Kennedy
15:37and separate them quickly
15:39so I can focus on what the assignment is.
15:43Okay, Kennedy is so ugly
15:45that her parents wanted to name her Shit Happens.
15:49I like that.
15:50Do you like it?
15:51What?
15:52The one where I'm like, um...
15:53Realist, please listen to at least one of my jokes.
15:57It's a conversation between two people, ho.
16:01I will give you a nasty look,
16:02but it seems that you already have one.
16:05Huh?
16:06Thank you for absolutely nothing,
16:08just, like, your contribution to drag.
16:11Nothing.
16:12Nothing.
16:13Oh!
16:14Hello.
16:15Hello.
16:16It's not me, Ruth Paul.
16:18Hello.
16:19Now it's time to get some honest feedback
16:22and some roasting material
16:24with our judge, Brad,
16:26and special guest judge, Samantha B.
16:29What an honor.
16:30Shall we dig into it?
16:31Sure.
16:32Eureka's from Tennessee,
16:33which means she's got big drag,
16:35eats good,
16:36and has fucked all eight of her cousins.
16:39Too fast?
16:40No.
16:41No? Are you crazy?
16:43Incest is best.
16:44Samantha, in a roast, is there a line?
16:47I don't think you can know what the line is
16:51until you've crossed it.
16:53You'll find it.
16:54You're on the other side of it.
16:56That's right.
16:57Eureka is so big,
16:58she makes the CN Tower look like a toothpick.
17:03Oh!
17:04Will you laugh as hard tomorrow?
17:06I will, actually.
17:07I did just write this as well.
17:09That's the read? That's it?
17:11Yeah. Cliff notes, you know? Cliff notes.
17:13You want to give some variation in there.
17:15Not everything on the same theme.
17:17You want to mix it up, like, just a little bit.
17:19That will get tired for the audience as well.
17:24Tap into that confidence.
17:25Like, from what I've seen of you is
17:27you are a very confident queen,
17:29and you're confident in your comedic ability.
17:32Well, thank you.
17:33That means the world to here.
17:34I need to succeed
17:35because this is something I should be doing well in.
17:38Make us laugh!
17:41I think she's very natural.
17:43I do, too.
17:44Like, naturally funny.
17:46Yes, I agree.
17:47All the ingredients are there, like, 100%.
17:51Hello, Eureka.
17:53Hi, gorgeous.
17:54I'm just feeling eager to get feedback.
17:56You need to be delusionally confident.
17:58That's the whole point of reading,
18:00so maybe even my delusion will come into play.
18:04Samantha, what do you think is, like,
18:06the formula for a good joke?
18:08I think that when a good joke hits, you know it.
18:12You know it in your gut.
18:13Like, when it comes out, it's fast, it's tight,
18:16and you just feel it right here.
18:18That explains so many sessions I've had just not on stage.
18:22Fast, quick, tight in my gut.
18:24All right, well, let's start it off.
18:26Now, listen, Cheryl, I love you,
18:28but you're shaped like a hyperventilating breath.
18:34No?
18:35I didn't just think about that.
18:36I'm trying to picture what?
18:39No, I hate that.
18:40Why are y'all not laughing?
18:42I'm funny?
18:43The first one out of the gate,
18:45we should know that Eureka is going to destroy Cheryl's whole.
18:50So, Cheryl, I knew you were a U.K. queen, honey,
18:52and it's not your accent, it's not your lack of talent.
18:55It's just like the food in the U.K.
18:57You have no flavor, taste, and you're disgusting.
18:59Yeah.
19:00Okay, so, um, I really do think you remind me of a princess.
19:04Fiona.
19:07I'm sorry.
19:08That is good.
19:09Where we are in the last half of this
19:13is where you need to be in the reading battle.
19:16I appreciate that feedback.
19:18Thank you so much, Eureka.
19:19Thank you for your time.
19:20Very good. We're excited to see you tomorrow.
19:23Hi.
19:24Lemon.
19:25Hello.
19:26Hello.
19:27Love your yellow.
19:28Thank you. I love your yellow.
19:29Look at us.
19:31We're, like, buttery.
19:32I'm just excited to kind of bounce ideas back and forth
19:35and hopefully get some good advice.
19:37All right, let's hear some of your material.
19:39I'm worried that it's a little long-winded, so...
19:41Okay.
19:42I have, um, charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent.
19:46More like delusional, uncultured, misshapen, and bratty.
19:51And that one has a double punch,
19:52because if you think about it, it also spells out dumb.
19:55Oh.
19:56Oh, boy.
19:58Okay.
19:59Like, I would want to see a visual of that.
20:01Yeah.
20:02In order to get it.
20:03Unfortunately, I can't bring out a chart this time, so...
20:04Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:05What we want for you is to give us a lead-up
20:08and then just amortize.
20:10The ones that have a little less thinking involved
20:12is probably the...
20:13Yes.
20:14Yeah.
20:15It's, like, confidence in your material and preparation.
20:17Yes.
20:18It's that combination that makes you strong.
20:20Miss Spears Delicious has really applied her name
20:23to this competition.
20:24Well, mostly the Miss part.
20:27Oh!
20:28Oh, my God.
20:29That's so funny.
20:32Stay out of here.
20:33Mm-hmm.
20:34And just remember, we're all out here wanting to last.
20:37Yeah.
20:38Okay, cool.
20:39Thank you so much, Lemon.
20:40Thank you so much.
20:41Thank you so much.
20:42Okay, love you.
20:43Bye.
20:44See you tomorrow.
20:45Bye.
20:46Whee!
20:47Hello, Miss Spears Delicious.
20:48Hello.
20:49How are you feeling?
20:50I'm actually feeling good.
20:51I'm almost done with my material.
20:52Great.
20:53She gave me a lot to work with.
20:54Oh, did she?
20:55Yeah.
20:56God, I cannot wait.
20:57Yes.
20:58So, I had the chance to open for Lemon a few years ago,
21:00and it was an amazing experience.
21:01It was my first time getting to perform for an audience
21:04of four people that were all on their phones
21:06and were there to see Jan.
21:07Oh.
21:09I mean, I'm ashamed.
21:10Y'all told me not to be bitchy in the challenges,
21:12but I feel like this is a challenge where I can be bitchy.
21:14Oh, this is the one where you should be the bitchiest.
21:16Okay.
21:17Now they're literally giving me the bitchy role on a platter,
21:19so this is my moment to shine.
21:21Lemon is always talking about wanting a boyfriend.
21:23Maybe you could get one if you could ride a dick
21:25as well as you ride Priyanka's coattails.
21:28Oh.
21:29Oh, my goodness.
21:31I have a strong feeling that you're really going to nail it.
21:35Actually.
21:36I'm just nervous because I'm against Lemon.
21:38Like, she won the reading challenge on her season.
21:41Okay.
21:42You can really excel at this one,
21:44but I think you can also go a little bit further.
21:46I was nervous coming into it, but they told me
21:48I'm on a really good path and go hard,
21:50so I'm going hard.
21:53Hey.
21:54Hello, Alexis.
21:55I want to keep it light.
21:56I want to keep it fun and straight to the point.
21:59You want to go for the kill and let them bleed out.
22:02Kennedy has a beautiful smile.
22:04Too bad she put in a cup of water before she goes to bed.
22:07Oh!
22:08Ha ha ha ha!
22:10Kennedy is so ugly, her parents wanted to name her Shit Happens.
22:14Ha ha ha ha!
22:16Is that good?
22:17Yep.
22:18Okay.
22:19That's the one.
22:20I know what you guys like.
22:21Your precision jokes are like an arrow through the heart.
22:24Yes.
22:25They're so direct and so, so strong, and you just feel it.
22:28Listen, shady doesn't mean you're evil.
22:31It means you're realistic.
22:33Hey!
22:35Hello, Kennedy Davenport.
22:37Hi.
22:38Hello.
22:39So, Kennedy, how are you feeling about this challenge?
22:41It's kind of hard, because when I'm joking and being funny,
22:45I'm usually hosting, so it's really, like, impromptu.
22:49But I'm having fun.
22:50It is such a different experience to just speak
22:53and then to craft a joke on the page.
22:56It's like two different muscle groups.
22:58Yeah.
22:59I think the key here is not sounding rehearsed.
23:03I love the story you told me about your family in Puerto Rico
23:07and how you have a house there.
23:10Looking at them rough-ass hands,
23:12it looked like you built it brick by brick.
23:15Speaking of brick, hey, Pierce.
23:19I think that's a good joke.
23:22But I think the length of it makes it less funny.
23:24I can shorten it.
23:26Girl, tell the truth.
23:28You didn't move away from Puerto Rico.
23:30They kicked you out for impersonating a jackass.
23:36I feel like there's a better punchline than jackass.
23:40Girl, y'all don't like my jokes.
23:43Back to the drawing board.
23:45Try not to let the writing of the jokes paralyze you.
23:50Yeah, it's just hard to structure.
23:52It is.
23:54But I'm gonna get it.
23:55You are so funny.
23:57If you're having fun, we're gonna be having fun no matter what.
24:01Right.
24:02I got some good feedback, so I am happy about that.
24:05I feel positive, but I know I got work to do.
24:08I feel like she was getting a little lost
24:10in the process of writing the joke.
24:13I'll be very, very impressed
24:15if I see a huge turnaround tomorrow.
24:18Yes.
24:21It's elimination day, and I'm ready to make the judges laugh
24:24like they were laughing at Cheryl's runways last week.
24:30Well, obviously, this is a roast challenge,
24:32and when we're roasting and reading,
24:34you have to have a bit of thick skin.
24:36Like, where does everybody's thick skin come from?
24:38I think my thick skin came from...
24:40You don't have none, baby.
24:42Ah!
24:43You don't have no thick skin yet, honey.
24:45Shut the fuck up.
24:46Ooh!
24:47Believe it or not,
24:48I used to be way more sensitive than I am right now.
24:50Really?
24:51When I was younger, I used to get made fun of a lot,
24:53like, for just being myself,
24:55and then, like, growing up,
24:56I kind of, like, shut down
24:58and stopped being, like, so outgoing
25:00because I was just, like, nervous
25:01I would get made fun of all the time.
25:03I still find it hard getting close
25:06and trusting people into my life.
25:08I know I can be shady a lot of times,
25:10but I feel like that's just my defense mechanism
25:12of protecting myself from other people.
25:15It wasn't until I started drag
25:16that I realized, like, I can just be myself,
25:19and people will love me for that.
25:21You think so?
25:22That is true.
25:24Honestly, I don't know that I have the thickest skin
25:27all the time.
25:28I grew up, like, constantly being ridiculed
25:31and beat up by my family, by my peers.
25:34You know, when the people that...
25:36are supposed to love and care about you
25:38tear you down every single day of your life,
25:40I fear that I'm not enough so much in my life,
25:44and that's always been my biggest problem.
25:46Regardless of how successful I would become,
25:48I never truly thought I deserved it
25:50because the abuse I was raised in
25:53made me believe I didn't.
25:54I'm not always read in a fun, loving way.
25:58You know what I'm saying?
25:59Right.
26:00And it's still hard for me.
26:01It did make me maybe exterior-wise tougher.
26:04Like, I could take a punch because I had to from them,
26:07but it didn't make the hit hurt any less,
26:11especially emotionally.
26:12You know what I'm really learning more than anything?
26:14It's how to live without numbing agents.
26:17Right.
26:18My recovery and sobriety and all those things
26:20is what is helping me understand how to deal
26:23with those emotions and feelings now
26:25versus, like, pretending like they don't exist.
26:27I'm not going to allow those addictive behaviors
26:31to rule everything I do.
26:33I still struggle.
26:34I think we all do.
26:35You know what I'm saying?
26:36Like, we can pretend like the reading is all fun
26:38all the time,
26:39but it does get to a point where it still affects us.
26:41You know?
26:42For sure.
26:43You can just feel when someone is reading you
26:45out of love and friendship and fun.
26:47Yeah.
26:48And it's a very fucking different feeling
26:49when someone's actually trying to, like, tear you down.
26:52A real read does come from a place of love
26:55because at the end of the day,
26:56if you don't like a bitch,
26:57you're not talking to her, period.
26:59Well, this is why in this competition
27:01I'm so thankful for actually having Lemon here
27:03because in the last couple years
27:05where I have actually been struggling,
27:07out of all my friends,
27:08she's been the one that has checked in
27:10but also kept it 100.
27:12I knew going into UK versus the world airing,
27:15I had to have thick skin
27:16because I know I didn't deliver my best.
27:19But when things started coming out,
27:21all I saw online was justice for Lemon,
27:25justice for Jimbo,
27:26justice for Pangina,
27:27but absolutely no radio noise for me.
27:31And it just makes me think,
27:33did I deserve to be there?
27:35She was actually there for me
27:37during the hardest point
27:38was after I got eliminated on UK versus the world,
27:41literally dealing with the trauma
27:43of being eliminated and having your dreams crushed.
27:46One of the biggest people in my life,
27:48my nan, who was, like, one of my best friends,
27:51passed away and I got told that morning
27:53after I got eliminated.
27:55Oh, my God.
27:56I was absolutely in bits
27:57and had to really rebuild myself from the ground up
28:01because I sort of fell out of love with drag.
28:04Straight away, Lemon came straight down to my room
28:06and sat with me for as long as I needed
28:09and that really cemented our bond.
28:12Oh, Cher, I love you.
28:14I was struggling yesterday
28:16and I didn't want to admit it,
28:18but it was one look from Eureka
28:20that gave me the smile that I went,
28:23thank you, okay, we can do this.
28:25I love you for that.
28:26And now I'm gonna drag you.
28:28Baby, if you can pull me, drag me, baby.
28:34♪♪♪
28:50♪ Put the bass in your walk, head to toe ♪
28:54♪ Let your whole body talk, and what? ♪
28:59Yes!
29:01Welcome to the main stage of Canada's Drag Race.
29:03Canada's drag race.
29:05Canada versus the world.
29:07He's my favorite homotextual.
29:09It's stylist and author, Brad Goreski.
29:13Hi, Brooke.
29:14Hi, Brad.
29:15How do you keep your editors happy?
29:17Well, I do know my way around a colon.
29:19I know that's right.
29:21And she's a real page turner.
29:23It's Serene Fox.
29:25I love big books and I cannot lie.
29:27Ayo!
29:30And I love her full frontal.
29:32It's Canada's comedy queen, Samantha Bee.
29:35Hi, Brooke.
29:36Hi, Samantha.
29:37How do you like your roasts?
29:39Well done.
29:40Ooh, put a fork in me.
29:41Mm-hmm.
29:43This week, we challenge our queens
29:45to get lit to writ in reading battles.
29:48Racers, start your engines
29:50and may the best drag queen win.
29:52♪♪
30:00Welcome to reading battles.
30:02Here's how it works.
30:04Two queens will spar in a joke-off.
30:07You will trade burns,
30:08and the goal is to get as many hits as you can.
30:12The winner of each battle
30:13will automatically land themselves in the top
30:16and the loser in the bottom.
30:18So don't hold back.
30:23First up, it's Miss Fiercealicious versus Lemon.
30:27♪♪
30:32I need to win this challenge
30:34because I need to stop Lemon's trajectory
30:37because I think being in the top every week
30:39is getting to her head.
30:41I'm pretty confident going into the reading battle,
30:43but I do know that Fierce is a shady little bitch,
30:45so anything could happen.
30:49She has the face of an angel
30:51and the personality of a gargoyle.
30:53It's Miss Fiercealicious.
30:57And when life gives you lemons,
30:59try another franchise of Drag Race.
31:02It's Lemon.
31:05Let the reading begin.
31:08I had the chance to open for Lemon a few years ago,
31:11and it was an incredible experience.
31:13It was my first time getting to perform for an audience
31:16of four people who were all on their phones
31:18and thought they were there to see Jan.
31:20Hey.
31:22Miss Fiercealicious has stamped her name
31:24all over this competition.
31:26Every single challenge, Miss.
31:29When life gives you lemons,
31:34you're supposed to make lemonade, not a shitty album.
31:37Oh!
31:40Fiercealicious has a special connection to the number four,
31:43which is why tonight when she lip syncs,
31:44she'll be wearing her unstyled hair for the fourth time.
31:48I can sit here and tell you that your drag is basic,
31:50you're unimaginative, and you're going home,
31:52but I think hearing that from RuPaul was enough.
31:55Oh!
31:57That was Michelle.
31:59Ha ha ha ha!
32:02Miss Fiercealicious has a lot in common
32:04with Kennedy Davenport's eyes.
32:07Beautiful, but lazy.
32:08Ha ha ha ha!
32:13Lemon, you take the stage.
32:16Lemon, you taking my material, you hoe.
32:18If I had a dollar every time you put together
32:20an intelligent thought, I'd be in debt,
32:23like Kennedy after spending her last $30
32:24on her one-way tonight.
32:26Oh!
32:29Until she's speeding up and getting nervous,
32:32and I just want to, like, shake her and be like,
32:33bitch, you're funny!
32:35Fierce reminds me so much of Vanessa Vanjie Mateo,
32:39because just like Miss Vanjie,
32:40she too has been relentlessly fucked by Brooklyn Heights.
32:45You really are an inspiration to young,
32:47queer rappers everywhere.
32:50Every young rapper dreams of growing up
32:52to be a 28-year-old rapstress who still lives
32:55in their parents' basement and can't get a hit song
32:56with their more famous friend.
32:58They dream of it, but you've done it.
33:00I'd take my parents' basement over a Suki Doll's attic
33:03any day.
33:04Oh!
33:07You're always talking about wanting a boyfriend,
33:10and maybe you could do that,
33:11You're always talking about wanting a boyfriend,
33:13and maybe you could keep one if you could ride a dick
33:15as well as you ride Priyanka's coattails.
33:17Oh!
33:21Honey, I'm taking my free trip to the top.
33:24Just like my friend Priyanka,
33:26Fierce too talks about having sex a lot,
33:29but the only thing she's fucking is up in this competition.
33:33Oh!
33:35Woo!
33:38Woo!
33:41Nicely done, queens.
33:43Shady.
33:45Fiercealicious.
33:46Hi.
33:47You really impressed me.
33:48You got some really good zingers in there.
33:51I think there's obviously some history there,
33:53and so I was excited for it.
33:54And I would have been disappointed
33:55if there was no clapback.
33:56So I'm happy there was.
33:58You came in with some really, really good material yesterday.
34:02I wish you would have slowed down just a tiny little bit
34:06because we lost a few of your jokes.
34:09I agree with Brad that maybe I felt
34:11a little bit of nerves from you,
34:13maybe toward the end of the routine a little bit.
34:16I think you were expecting Lemon
34:17to be a little bit more faltery than she was,
34:19but she kept volleying it right back to you.
34:21But you did a really great job tonight.
34:24Lemon.
34:25Hi.
34:26Yesterday when you came in,
34:28I have to say I was a little bit nervous,
34:30but tonight you were definitely
34:32very in control of your material.
34:34You hit your jokes hard.
34:37They were so mean and great.
34:40Every joke landed.
34:42Your clapbacks were hysterical.
34:44The clapback for me is my favorite part.
34:46I think you have to be willing to go back and forth.
34:49I'll be laughing about the Kennedy Lazy Eye
34:51for a very, very long time.
34:54Hey, shit, now it's true.
34:55And the joke about Brooklyn.
34:58True.
35:02Well, you know, there's truth in every joke, Brooklyn.
35:04There's my almost mother-in-law over there.
35:07I know.
35:08Oh, it just got weird.
35:09Queens, we have made our decision.
35:13The winner of this reading battle is...
35:18Lemon.
35:19Yes.
35:21Congratulations.
35:22You have secured a place in the top this week.
35:26That means, Miss Fierce Delicious,
35:27I'm sorry, but you are in the bottom.
35:30You may both leave the stage.
35:34Going into this, the pressure is real
35:36because my number one is in the bottom
35:38and I need to win this challenge so I can save her.
35:42Time for our next reading battle.
35:45The judges have chosen the winner of this reading battle
35:48Time for our next reading battle.
35:50It's Eureka versus Cheryl.
35:57Honey, Miss Cheryl Hall,
35:58I'm about to dig it and rebury your ass, okay?
36:02Keep up.
36:09She's here.
36:10She's queer.
36:11We get it.
36:12It's Eureka.
36:15And she's British.
36:18And so are her teeth.
36:19Give it up for Cheryl.
36:23I paid a lot for these.
36:26Let the reading begin.
36:29Listen, I'm so excited to be competing
36:31in Canada versus the world.
36:33I love doing community service.
36:36What a beautiful crowd.
36:37I love the size.
36:38I feel like I'm at a Tynomi Banks tour.
36:43So listen, I'm here to read my beautiful, gorgeous,
36:46talented, and soothing sister.
36:50Oh, she's not here.
36:53So I got stuck with Cheryl.
36:56Well, listen, sister,
36:58I don't want to take it too hard on you
37:00because I know your appearances on Drag Race
37:01have already done that.
37:08Sorry, everybody.
37:09I was just enjoying the silence.
37:10It's very rare with this one.
37:14Good evening, Canada!
37:18And Brooklyn, I can't forget you.
37:20The weirdest game of Twister I've ever seen.
37:24But Eureka, you look bloody beautiful tonight.
37:28You actually remind me of a princess.
37:30Oh, Fiona.
37:35This bitch stole my joke.
37:37Now listen, you guys,
37:38I wish I could say I'm close to Cheryl,
37:40but I'm just not friends with girls that have no talent
37:43and smell like spotted dick.
37:47Eureka is so big,
37:48she makes the CN Tower look like a toothpick.
37:54I just learned what a loonie is in Canada,
37:57and apparently it's a coin.
37:58Well, you know, in the U.S.,
38:00a loonie is anyone that thinks Cheryl Hull
38:01is about to win this competition.
38:05Eureka's catchphrase is,
38:07Eureka, you found it!
38:09But it should really be, Eureka, you can't fucking miss it.
38:14Listen, you already took my princess joke,
38:16so I just want to tell you,
38:17out of drag, you look a lot like
38:19you are part of human trafficking.
38:23I don't know if I got it,
38:23because she took my princess Fiona joke.
38:26You talking, bitch?
38:28Gotta get in there first, gotta get in there first.
38:30Eureka's from Tennessee, everybody,
38:32which means she's got big drag,
38:34eats great food,
38:36and has fucked all eight of her cousins.
38:38I've been Cheryl, that's been Eureka,
38:40let's end this roast with a high kick, Eureka, come on!
38:43Let's do it!
38:45Yes!
38:46Yay!
38:50Hi, Eureka.
38:51Hello, darling.
38:52I thought the two of you together
38:55had such a nice flow,
38:56I felt like I actually could have sat here
38:58for 20 more minutes.
38:59I didn't really want you to stop.
39:01I don't think we want to put you through 20 more minutes,
39:03I think we want to put you through the rest of the show.
39:06I don't think we want to put you through
39:0720 more minutes of that.
39:10I like the way that you bantered
39:12back and forth with Cheryl.
39:13I just wish a little bit
39:17that you went even harder,
39:18because I think you're funny.
39:19Make her cry.
39:20Okay.
39:21Once you got in there, you were in there,
39:23and you got some really, really good hits.
39:26Cheryl, I could feel your confidence
39:28from the moment you walked out.
39:29I loved that moment when you were walking down the runway
39:31and you said, keep up.
39:34One of the things that make you feel comfortable
39:35as an audience member is when someone hits the mic
39:38like hard right away,
39:39and I felt that from you.
39:41To start off with that silence.
39:43It's overdue, it really is.
39:44Using silence is such a tool though,
39:46and so many performers are afraid to take it,
39:48you know, so I liked that part.
39:50The two of you together,
39:51I think you found a nice groove,
39:53but I felt your energy was very consistent
39:56all the way through.
39:57Thank you so much.
39:59I want to know the backstory
40:00of who actually had the Fiona joke.
40:03I mean, clearly we both had it.
40:04I mean.
40:06I got it from Alexis, I ain't even gonna lie.
40:09And I got it from Lemon.
40:13This is fucked up.
40:14And I personally see the resemblance in both of you.
40:17Thank you, Lord Farquaad.
40:22Oh, shit.
40:23Damn.
40:24Oh my God.
40:27Queens, we have made our decision.
40:29The winner of this reading battle is
40:32Cheryl.
40:36Congratulations, you have secured a place
40:38in the top this week.
40:40Eureka, I'm sorry that means that you are in the bottom.
40:45You may both leave the stage.
40:48Congratulations, Cheryl.
40:54Bitch, now I'm in the bottom?
40:56Bitch, now I'm in the bottom?
40:59Girl, this a mess.
41:01It's time for the final battle.
41:04Kennedy Davenport versus Alexis Mateo.
41:09Come on, you kookaratcha looking bitch.
41:15You know what they say,
41:16everything's bigger in Texas, except the talent.
41:20It's Kennedy Davenport.
41:23You know that's a lie.
41:26And she's got the heart of a mother,
41:29but the face of your uncle.
41:30Give it up for Alexis Mateo.
41:34Let the reading begin.
41:37Hey judges.
41:39Hey.
41:39Y'all look good.
41:40From afar.
41:43But I'm gonna warn y'all,
41:45my sister, her English is not very good looking.
41:48As a matter of fact, it's nonexistent,
41:51like her hairline.
41:54Got a lot of fucking nerves.
41:56Listen, I love my sister, Kennedy.
41:59Kennedy has such a beautiful smile.
42:02Too bad she takes it off every night
42:03and put it in a cup of water.
42:09I need you to tell the truth.
42:10You know you was one of them bad-ass kids
42:13that smelled the seat when people got up?
42:19It's funny because it's true.
42:23Listen, everybody.
42:25Kennedy is so ugly that even her hairline
42:28don't want to be near to her face.
42:30It keep pulling back and back and back away.
42:33Bitch says the bitch that's bald hate it.
42:37But get you a fucking toupee, bitch.
42:39I would love to run to Kennedy right now
42:42and pull that wig forward, bitch.
42:46Bitch, fuck you.
42:47But Kennedy, honestly, if you're going to be a two-faced bitch,
42:51at least make one pretty.
42:55Bitch, you're the last person to talk about somebody
42:58and to be trying to read.
42:59It is clear you were a toupee.
43:01One hu...
43:02Ooh!
43:07What the fuck is going on here?
43:10I don't know what's going on here.
43:11I don't know what's going on here.
43:13I don't know what's going on here.
43:14I don't know what's going on here.
43:17Matter of fact, give that shit to Cheryl.
43:21I am sick of looking at that fucking comb-over every morning.
43:24LAUGHTER
43:26Oh, my God.
43:28You're going to have to put this wig back on, girl.
43:30Oh, no, ma'am.
43:31Bitch, you're giving me Shaquille O'Neal
43:33in a gorgeous dress.
43:35No, I'm giving you all day.
43:37Hey!
43:40I'm really getting sick of the shit.
43:42I mean, congratulations, bitch.
43:45Congratulations, Alexis.
43:47Your runway was awesome.
43:49Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
43:52But did y'all see them rough-ass hands?
43:55That bitch helped Nora build the Ark, honey.
43:58LAUGHTER
44:00Anyway, everybody, my name is Alexis Mattel.
44:03Oh, I want to finish, bitch.
44:04And Kennedy.
44:05No, ma'am.
44:06None of this shit count tonight
44:07because she can't even spell nothing she just said.
44:10Thank you!
44:16Kennedy, you were hilarious.
44:20There was something slightly unhinged about all of it,
44:22which I really, really liked.
44:24You know I'm crazy.
44:25I...
44:26It was such a fun evolution
44:29from your work session yesterday,
44:30where you could see that you were, like,
44:32maybe tentative in your material.
44:34Just to see you blossom on the stage was so fun.
44:38Your comedic timing tonight was excellent.
44:41It was such a joy to watch.
44:43And I think I had fun seeing these glimpses
44:46also of camaraderie.
44:47You could tell you were friends,
44:48and to me, I felt like I was in the dressing room
44:51at a drag show.
44:52For real.
44:53I love that you incorporated some physical comedy
44:55with your wig.
44:56I thought that was so brilliant.
44:57And then you just left it dangling there
44:59on the back of your sequins.
45:01Perfectly placed.
45:02I was shocked myself.
45:03I was...
45:04Oh, shit.
45:05OK, we'll leave it there, hon.
45:07And, Alexis, you held your own.
45:09You were right up there with her.
45:10You delivered, just like we thought you would.
45:13You were very in control of your material yesterday as well.
45:16You came in with a lot of great stuff.
45:18I just was totally enchanted by you,
45:21and your jokes were great.
45:22So solid.
45:23So precise.
45:25Queens, we have made our decision.
45:28The winner of this reading battle is...
45:34...Kennedy Davenport.
45:35Woo!
45:36Woo-hoo!
45:37Come on, girl!
45:40That's good.
45:42You have automatically secured a place in the top this week.
45:46That means, Alexis Mateo, I am sorry,
45:48but you are in the bottom.
45:51And with that, the library is officially closed.
45:57Condragulations to our top queens this week.
46:00Lemon, Cheryl, Kennedy Davenport.
46:03You all had the stage sizzling,
46:06but one of you really grilled to perfection.
46:12Kennedy Davenport,
46:13condragulations.
46:15You are the winner of this week's Maxi Challenge.
46:18Well done, baby.
46:20Oh, my God, bitch.
46:23You have won $10,000 made possible
46:26by our versus partner, Gilead Sciences Canada.
46:29Yeah!
46:32Miss Fiercealicious, Eureka, Alexis Mateo,
46:36as the losers of your battles,
46:38you are the bottom three this week.
46:42Kennedy Davenport,
46:44you have earned the power of the golden beaver,
46:47granting you the ability to save one of the bottom queens
46:50from lip-syncing for their lives.
46:52You hold the fate of your sisters in your hands.
46:56As you untuck, the bottom three may plead their case.
46:59You may leave the stage.
47:02I'm actually not surprised about nobody in this row.
47:06These bitches are all shady,
47:08and I was expecting it 100%.
47:11Kennedy, congratulations.
47:14Second win.
47:16Oh, thank you.
47:18I want another one, honey.
47:20That's two.
47:21I feel fucking fabulous.
47:23You should.
47:24It was a class in how to just honor your sister.
47:27It was a class in how to just honor your sister.
47:31It was a class in how to just authentically do you
47:34in a moment like that.
47:35It was so masterclass.
47:37You own the stage.
47:38It was amazing.
47:39I honestly didn't know which one of you two were gonna win.
47:42Well, thank you.
47:43Fuck my dress.
47:44You two were perfection.
47:48If anyone is ever gonna beat me in a reading comedy challenge,
47:51I am so glad it's the Kennedy Davenport.
47:54And congratulations, Cheryl, on getting out of your head.
47:57Yes.
47:59Simple, but country.
48:02I went from the bottom to the top.
48:04There won't be no flop this season for Cheryl.
48:07Last week was the fumble, but back in the top again.
48:10But, like, I want to hear from you guys.
48:12Like, sis, how are you feeling?
48:14I am honestly really proud of myself.
48:16You should be.
48:17I think I did really good in the challenge.
48:19Like, it's unfortunate that, like, one of us
48:21had to be in the bottom.
48:22Otherwise, I think I would have been in the top.
48:24That being said, I don't want the beaver.
48:28I've had the beaver once, and I think,
48:30if I'm to continue this competition,
48:32I need to prove myself in the lip sync tonight.
48:34You don't want the beaver?
48:37At all?
48:38What's wrong, bitch?
48:40You have grown in a whole week.
48:42I am so proud of you.
48:44Do you regret having the power and picking Lemon?
48:48Honestly, no, because, like, this is a really strong group.
48:51It's just, like, unfortunate my anxiety
48:53got a bit of the best of me tonight.
48:55But I'm proud of my performance.
48:57You got me, bitch.
48:58You got some good jokes up in there.
49:00What about you, Alexis?
49:01I hold up myself against you fiercely.
49:05I did not have one negative critique,
49:08and, to be honest, bitch,
49:11we were just so fucking sickening like that.
49:13I honestly deserved it, period.
49:16Eureka, you're the only girl in the bottom
49:19who hasn't gotten the beaver yet.
49:21Do you feel like that should secure it for you tonight?
49:24I would appreciate the beaver.
49:25I think I would love to get some sort of break
49:27in this competition at this point,
49:29just because I just feel like...
49:31♪♪♪♪
49:35I don't even know.
49:37I don't even know, y'all.
49:40I just know that I don't feel like myself.
49:43And the truth is, I have so much pressure on myself.
49:47Being sober is the hardest thing I've ever done.
49:51It's harder than the trance thing.
49:53And I keep trying to be like, oh, it's the hormones,
49:56but the truth is, it's like...
49:58I went through the hardest time of my life becoming sober,
50:02and it's so hard every day during this, like, pressure cooker
50:06to not want a weed gummy or to drink or something.
50:11And it just makes me so embarrassed for myself
50:15because I just hate that that's who I am.
50:18I don't think you should be embarrassed at all.
50:20You're an incredible entertainer.
50:22I feel like I'm very overwhelmed.
50:25I'm sober now. It's a different world.
50:27I have to feel all of my emotions.
50:29And once I start getting in my head,
50:31pushing the narrative that I'm not good enough,
50:33I slowly self-destruct.
50:35It's okay not to be okay. Let it out.
50:38You've got five people in this room rooting for you.
50:41I appreciate that,
50:42because in the beginning of this competition,
50:44I just felt very alone.
50:45And it is just so hard for me to believe
50:48and trust that friendship and love you guys
50:51because I've been hurt so bad.
50:54I feel the exact same way you do in this competition right now.
50:57Like, it's been so emotionally draining for me
51:00and mentally every single week.
51:01But the one thing I'm really happy about
51:03is that I got, like, a relationship with you.
51:06I love you so much. I hope you know that.
51:07And I don't want to lip-sync against you
51:09because I don't want to send you home.
51:11Shut up.
51:12Oh, wow.
51:16The pressure is thick.
51:17The pressure is very heavy.
51:19Someone's fate is in my hands.
51:22So we meet again, girl.
51:24I could give the beaver to Fierce
51:27because she has shown a lot of growth,
51:30but she put herself in the bottom.
51:32I could give the beaver to Eureka.
51:34She also did a very good job,
51:37but I felt her holding back
51:39because this bitch is funny.
51:41Oh, so you're just not gonna say nothing?
51:43I could say, Alexis, the judges really loved her.
51:47On the other hand,
51:48I may want to see her lip-sync, honey.
51:50So I don't know.
51:52Wait.
51:56Welcome back, queens.
51:58Kennedy Davenport,
52:00heavy is the hand that holds the beaver.
52:02Who are you saving from the chomping block?
52:05Ooh, again, this is not so much hard,
52:09but it's a hard thing to do, if that makes sense.
52:12Because every week we get closer and closer
52:15and we share some of the most greatest memories with each other,
52:19and we just hate to do the job,
52:21but that's what we signed up for.
52:23So the person that I decided to save is...
52:28Alexis.
52:29What?
52:30I got a guess.
52:32Um...
52:34I deserted, bitch, so shut up.
52:36Yay!
52:37We'll all be damned.
52:39Alexis Mateo, you are out of the woods this week.
52:44You may join the others at the back.
52:49Miss Fiercealicious, Eureka,
52:51I'm sorry, but this means that you are both up for elimination.
52:55Two internationally acclaimed queens stand before us.
52:59Prior to tonight,
53:01you were asked to prepare a lip-sync performance
53:03of Hush Hush by the Pussycat Dolls.
53:06This is your last chance to impress us
53:08and save yourself from elimination.
53:12The time has come for you to lip-sync for your life.
53:22Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
53:30I never needed you to be strong
53:34I never needed you for pointing out my wrongs
53:38I never needed pain
53:40I never needed strain
53:42My love for you was strong enough you should have known
53:46I never needed you for judgement
53:49I never needed you to question what I spend
53:53I never asked for help
53:55I take care of myself
53:57I don't know why you think you gotta hold on me
54:01And it's a little late for conversations
54:04There isn't anything for you to say
54:09And my eyes hurt, hey, shiver
54:13So look at me, listen to me
54:17Because
54:19I don't want to
54:21Say another minute
54:23I don't want you
54:25To say a single word
54:26Hush, hush, hush, hush
54:29There is no other way
54:31I'll get the final say
54:33Because
54:34I don't want to
54:36Do this anymore
54:37No, I don't want you
54:39There's nothing left to say
54:41Hush, hush, hush, hush
54:43I'm already spoken
54:46All of this broken
54:47Baby, hush, hush
54:54First I was afraid
54:55I was petrified
54:57Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
55:01But I spent oh so many nights
55:03Thinking how you did me wrong
55:05But I grew strong
55:07I learned how to carry on
55:17Hush, hush, hush, hush
55:19I'm already spoken
55:21All of this broken
55:23Baby, hold on my arm
55:25I will survive
55:27Oh, as long as I know how to love
55:30I know I fell in
55:31I've got all my life to live
55:33I've got all my love to give
55:35And I will survive
55:37I will survive
55:47Hush, hush, hush, hush
55:49I'm already spoken
55:51All of this broken
55:53Baby, hush, hush
56:11Queens, we have made our decision.
56:19Ms. Fiercealicious, Shantae, you stay.
56:28I'm so proud of you.
56:30I'm so proud of you, girl.
56:33That was incredible.
56:35Eureka, your charm doesn't just light up the stage.
56:39It illuminates the world.
56:42Now, Sashay, away.
56:47We love you so much.
56:48We love you, Eureka.
56:49I love you, too.
56:54Just do it.
56:55Just do it.
56:57Just do it, girls, okay?
56:58We love you so much.
56:59We love y'all, too.
57:00Thank you so much.
57:01We love y'all, too.
57:02You've been so utter to me, Charles.
57:04I just can't thank all of you enough.
57:06Thank you. I love you.
57:07We love you.
57:08We love you so much.
57:13I love you fucking bitches.
57:14Y'all better wear it the fuck out.
57:20The weight of the world is off my shoulders in this moment
57:23because I'm realizing today that winning doesn't mean everything.
57:27Girl, I hope they got enough lipstick.
57:30I'm tired of searching for validation from someone else
57:33to believe that I am enough.
57:35And I'm tired of competing.
57:37I want to live, and I want to live healthy.
57:40I am proud to be sober, and I don't care who knows it
57:44because you should ask for help if you need it, period.
57:49You know I got to make it the most.
57:50They'd be like, girl, it wouldn't be the same if it wasn't.
57:54Boom, bitch.
57:55Oh, I found some peace.
57:58I'm just saying, now go find yours.
58:00Have fun cleaning that shit off of yours.
58:05Congratulations, queens.
58:07You live to slay another day.
58:10The world has never needed the magic of drag more.
58:13So remember, stay true, north, strong, and what?
58:18Yeah!
58:19Yes! Now let the music play!
58:22Yeah!
58:23You wear it well.
58:24Step, step, step, step, paint it on.
