00:00We're back, and you're in Michelle's house now.
00:10Are you ready to meet my season four queens?
00:13Hi, my name is Brenda Brest.
00:16I am 24 years old, and I am from Melbourne, Australia.
00:24Brenda is big, beautiful, buxom, busty, and bloody good on the mic.
00:30Yeah!
00:31You may recognise this little old face from television.
00:36I was on a particular TV show that involves a bunch of singing and some chairs that perhaps
00:41spin around.
00:42And look, I didn't make it too far on that one, so I'm here to try my luck at this one
00:45instead.
00:46From what I'm wearing right now, I think you can tell my biggest inspirations are beautiful
00:51people like Ariana Grande, you know, Beyoncé, those types.
00:56No, but in all seriousness, some of my biggest inspirations for drag would be old school,
01:01camp, drag, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Dolly Parton, all those big, beautiful divas.
01:08I am going to win season four of Drag Race Tanana because I'm going to bring everything
01:13I have to every single one of these challenges and show these bitches why Brenda Brest is
01:19the name that's going to be on everyone's lips.
01:23You like my hoop earrings?
01:24You know what they say, bigger the hoop, bigger the hole.
01:28Babuhay baklats, I'm Conner Ford, I'm the first ever drag race stand under Filipina
01:35Queen.
01:36I am 27 years old and I am from Sydney.
01:38The name Conner Ford comes from being that broke ass bitch.
01:42Yes, I was that girl that couldn't afford anything and I always got my friends to buy
01:46me drinks at the club.
01:47No money, but I still know how to have fun.
01:49What I love most about drag is being able to perform on stage and I am an attention
01:54seeker so all eyes are on me.
01:57People would describe me as a powerhouse performer.
02:00So if anybody wants to lip sync against me, they better watch their asses.
02:05Every season a Sydney drag queen has always gone home first and I'm here to let you know
02:10that that will not be happening with me.
02:13I'm so excited to represent for my culture and show the world that Filipina drag is the
02:19fucking one.
02:20Welcome to my goddamn show, take a seat.
02:27My name is Vibe, I'm a 32 year old drag queen from Sydney, Australia.
02:31Vibe is full of colour, she's campers tits and full of goddamn character.
02:36You may be familiar with my little sister, well my big sister, her name is Coco Jumbo,
02:40the absolute star and the victim of a robbery in drag race stand under season one.
02:44Coco gave me lots of advice for coming on the show and it was mainly get the fuck out
02:48of your own head.
02:49So actively trying to do so.
02:52I want to cast your eyes back to a time that I like to call 2017.
02:55There was a group of big old straight idiots that decided to cut the line at the kebab
02:59shop and then abused and threatened one of our community members.
03:03So us being the big burly men that we are, myself, Coco Jumbo and Ivy League stepped
03:07in to save him and have ever since been called Oxford Street's angels.
03:11And don't worry, the kebabs and chips were fine, I made damn sure of that.
03:15To be completely honest, I'm not nervous at all.
03:17I just feel sorry for the girls who are going to be locked in the studio with me, because
03:20I can be loud.
03:21Well, it's time to scream again.
03:26I decided to grace you with my presence because you haven't had it before and I thought, maybe
03:30that's what's been missing.
03:32Maybe the show just needs a little more vibe.
03:36What's up bitches, I'm Lucina Innocence, I'm 28 and I'm from Auckland, New Zealand.
03:42My drag style is very gorgeous, very snatched.
03:45It's a little edgy and it's also a little bit seductive.
03:50My strengths would definitely be hair and makeup.
03:52I'm a wig stylist.
03:54Clock the mug.
03:55I sing, I play piano.
03:57I really am a girl who can do it all.
03:59I am the tallest structure in the Southern Hemisphere.
04:02Because of my height, when I'm performing at the club, I often hold onto the ceiling
04:06for support.
04:07So without that hair, I hope I don't trip and fall.
04:10A lot of people's first impression of me is that I'm a cunt because I have a wristing
04:13bitch face.
04:16Underneath all this, I'm just the sweetest little girl you'll ever meet.
04:20I have done a lot of wigs for past drag race girls that were born on the shows.
04:23However, it's about time I was the one wearing them and doing it better.
04:29I deserve to be on Drag Race Down Under because, I mean, you're welcome.
04:33Let's be for real.
04:37Hello, fallover.
04:38It is your girl, Nikita, your fa-fa-finger princessy from the kiki house of Oman.
04:42She is 27 years old, hailing from the beautiful islands of Samoa, South Auckland race, and
04:48now she's a Sydney-based queen, your white guy's favorite brown girl.
04:53Drag to me is freedom.
04:54Just allows me to be creative.
04:55I have such a busy mind when it comes to beauty and fashion.
05:00I got into drag mostly through Ballroom.
05:02My mother, the legendary overall mother of the house of Oman, JC Baby, she put me up
05:07in drag.
05:08It was getting very baby queen, but I won my categories and everybody was eating it
05:14up.
05:15I love all types of drag.
05:16I don't mind a hairy queen as long as she keep it below the face because there's a few
05:21hairy queens on the season, chinny-chin-chin.
05:23But other than that, I love all types of drag as long as it's polished and the vision is
05:28giving.
05:29What's wrong with just being a pretty face?
05:31I feel like the girls that say that being pretty isn't enough, you sound pretty ugly
05:34to me.
05:35I think the circus needs to go out of town because the girls are here.
05:41Please welcome to the stage, Brisbane's number one Mandy Moves impersonator, Mandy Moves!
05:48Hi, I'm Mandy Moves.
05:51I'm a gorgeous 33-year-old from Brisbane.
05:55My life is 24-7 drag.
05:58During the day, I'm sewing costumes for drag queens and then at night time, I slap it all
06:01on and show them how to do it properly.
06:04You have seen many, many of my previous looks on Drag Race Down Under.
06:07I have sewn for Kid Amine, I have sewn for Beverly Kills and of course, I have sewn for
06:13Ashley Madison.
06:16I'm a ballet queen.
06:17I'm park and bark.
06:18You get a very regal experience with Mandy Moves.
06:21I'm a mother figure because I'm very nurturing.
06:24I'm very honest.
06:25I am the queen that will yell at you to do better because I know you can and I just want
06:29to be proud of you.
06:30I'm bringing 15 years of experience so I wish the best of luck to every other girl here
06:35but I don't see any competition.
06:38I absolutely want this crown so give it a quick polish, give this a bit of polish even
06:43and let's put this on its little head.
06:44So I think it's going to fit just right.
06:48Olivia Dreams is like a lighthouse in a desert, out of place and fucking useless.
06:55It's a read.
06:56It's not a joke.
06:57The joke is that I'm here.
06:58I'm kidding.
06:59I'm kidding.
07:00Kia ora everyone, my name is Olivia Dreams.
07:03I am 26 years old and I am the first person to represent Te Whanganui-a-Kara.
07:08It's about damn time we had a Wellington Queen on.
07:11Olivia Dreams is drag.
07:12It's a little bit of a princess vibe but it's a lot of comedy, a lot of camp, a lot of goofy.
07:16I'm a goofy little person.
07:18I am Wellington's biggest drag producer.
07:19I love producing shows.
07:21No one else would fucking do it so I had to step in.
07:23So representation is absolutely important as a young queer person growing up in rural
07:27New Zealand and as a person of colour.
07:29I've faced so many roadblocks in my life.
07:31If you take drag back to its early days, it was all about pushing the boundaries and making
07:36space for those people who felt like they weren't included.
07:40I bet you none of these girls know who the fuck I am but that can play to my advantage
07:44because they don't know what to expect from me.
07:46I'm lovable.
07:47I'm lovable and you're going to love me.
07:51Miss Continua.
07:52No, trust me, once I hit the confessionals, we'll know I'm not Miss Continuality.
07:58Hi, I'm Freya Armani.
07:59I'm 24 and I'm from the sunshine state of Brisbane, Queensland by way of USA.
08:05Freya is the glamorous dancing diva.
08:07I like to live in my little fantasy.
08:09I'm a pop princess, a flirty little girl who just likes to pop around and hang out with
08:14mansies.
08:15I'm just that bitch, the it girl.
08:19I was one of those little closeted gays that was like, if I ever do come out, I would never
08:23be able to put on a wig and put makeup on and for some reason I went southern, I don't
08:27know why.
08:28And then I stumbled onto this little show, I don't know if you've heard of it, it's called
08:32RuPaul's Drag Race.
08:33Five years later, here I am.
08:35The drag scene in Brisbane is one of my favorite things to talk about but I'll keep it short.
08:39Do you want to see a good fucking show?
08:41You go to Brisbane, bitch.
08:42There's no particular challenge or queen or obstacle I'm worried about overcoming.
08:45I'm just going to apply myself to the challenge and make the challenge fit me, just like I
08:49do with men.
08:52I'm going to be the next winner of Drag Race and under because I have exactly the right
08:57size purse to hold a $50,000 cash prize.
09:00And it goes great with my outfit.
09:02Hi.
09:03You look like Iggy Azalea today.
09:07People have said this to me before.
09:08I used to think I had a crush on her and then I realized I wanted to be her.
09:12Hi, I'm Max Drag Queen.
09:14I'm 24 years old and I am from Melbourne, Narm, Australia.
09:18Fun story about my drag name.
09:20It's my actual name.
09:22And then I added drag queen.
09:25Oh my God, I'm crazy.
09:28I am a princess.
09:29My mom is Isis Avis Loren.
09:32Hopefully I can bring home another crown.
09:35My first time ever performing in drag was to my entire school for my year 12 end of
09:40year talent show.
09:42And it felt beyond powerful and I knew that this is what I wanted to do for the rest of
09:46my life.
09:47Nothing makes me feel more me than when I'm on stage.
09:50I am going to bring the dancing to the down under stage this season.
09:53I'm going to bring the stunts, the shenanigans, the energy, but most importantly, the range
09:58because I am a rounded queen and I am here to show you why.
10:03Well, as the dancing diva of Melbourne, I'm very excited for a dance challenge because
10:08I'm incredibly flexible.
10:11Hi, I'm Lazy Susan.
10:14I'm 32 and I'm from Melbourne, Australia.
10:17Lazy Susan is a beautiful, incredibly vivacious young woman just trying to dip her toes into
10:23amateur dentistry.
10:24The ways I would describe my drag would be a long piss after a night of heavy drinking.
10:30It's that yellow.
10:31It's that smell.
10:33The Melbourne drag scene is a vibrant, melting pot of gorgeous showgirls, the most disgusting
10:38little gutter trash bitches you've ever seen in your life and I'm somewhere in the middle
10:43if I'm being generous.
10:44She's so kooky.
10:45Oh my God.
10:46We could put thunder and a witch's cackle under her.
10:51The two weirdest things that have ever happened to Lazy Susan in drag, one was performing
10:54at a bike-y bar by accident and doing a Beyonce medley.
10:57I wouldn't say they loved it, but they didn't kill me, so there's one.
11:01And Troye Sivan telling me that I need to move in time to the rhythm of his song, which
11:06I still can't do.
11:07I still made the video.
11:10I'm so excited to do justice to Snatch Game on Drag Race Down Under.
11:15We have been forsaken for too long.
11:17I have auditioned six times for Drag Race and I know what you're thinking, there have
11:20only been four seasons.
11:21It is time for me to be here on this show.
11:24Okay, let's do this.
11:25Can we get started?
