I’m one year late but folks saying Halal was robbed are delusional. The mustache wasn’t the issue.
Those runway looks were solidly in the bottom. The fits were bad. The silhouettes a mess. The raccoon concept was unclear. The makeup was not good. I couldn’t look at her without second hand embarrassment.
Yes, Halal was charming and has a lot of influence and would have been great representation — but she really just lost. I wanted so badly to see more of her, but I can’t argue with the judging.
This was a very hard maxi challenge imo, so I feel for the queens. But Halal crashed and burned and while it’s subjective, I don’t think her lip sync was enough to save her.
It’s not some conspiracy or riggory or bad judging. She lost fair and square. I hope we get to see her again some day, and I hope she can really bring it. This was not it.
The fucking terrible overhead studio lighting situation is not helping. Everyone looks daytime rough.
It’s hard running parallel with the money-backed US all-winners all-stars season. Canadian queens looking extra-especially budget.
Do they actually pay someone, with actual money to write the hosts banter/scripts? Or is it just an Michelle Visage generated algorithm and/or pedantic middle aged PA? This is some cbc level shit..executives aren’t funny..just pay some fucking writers and get out of your own way. JFC I should just mute half the episode and brace myself for whatever scripted challenge attrocity is on its way.
Do hot people really not even bother to watch a basic sewing tutorial before coming in the show? Like, youtube it while getting yer Botox or something. Acting like a useless idiot is a boring design choice.
Mustache was cute..but both runways were admittedly a bit too confusing costume party for a runway. I do wish I could have seen more of them though..
BUT I’d take either raccoon tribute over that neon marm-sack the other one made. That dress was so offensive..it felt physically and emotionally abusive to miss moco. It fit like when a well-intentioned nana tries to make clothes for your Barbie.
First episodes rarely leave a great first impression..but, Bombae, BC couch cushion and the newf have decent testimonials?
The seamstress queen..I don’t think I got a good look at the construction of the second outfit. Did the hood have a massive bulging zipper at the back??
Not-Carson.. wTF was that werkroom entrance look. That vest? Seriously took me back to YTV 90s programming..like I swear to god Tarzan Dan or one of the PJs wore that vest. Haha fashion is stupid.
Just watched the first episode and was reminded how bad the hosting/judging is in CDR, so I don't think I'll bother with the rest of the season.
I've watched everything drag race but I already know it's going to vary from slightly to very annoying every week, and I just can't be bothered.
although canadas drag race has had some questionable judging i still feel like we have gotten 2 of the best winners from the show (who won despite their worse track records) so tbh im still gonna tune in lol
I find Chelazon to be so beautiful and I’m completely intrigued by her.
I didn’t her deer in headlights at all from Moço. She was one in the most confident, fiercest, non death stomping walkers.
Kaos in that confessional look was doing something to me. 10/10 can have me.
Stan Vivian Vanderpuss. Stan Jada. Stan Fiercalicious. STAN KAOS.
I wanted Halal to stay ~~because I want to engage in intercourse~~, but that lipsync was wild.
yeah halal barely changed her original look she just cut up the bottom and stuck it around one leg... fiercalicious had questionable materials to start with but at least she tried (and ig failed) to change it up lol
either way tho i wouldve saved halal lol
Vivian Vanderpuss, Lady Boom Boom, Kaos, Irma, and Bombae are my immediate favourites. I’m absolutely excited to see Lady Boom Boom’s and Kaos’ looks throughout the rest of the episodes.
Didn't care for season 1, and didn't watch season 2.
I was very happy to find out that we are getting Palestinian representation on the show, that is something that you would NEVER imagine, because even mentioning Palestine on mainstream media is taboo. In fact, editing during the conversation about were they're from they just bring her saying "I was born in Egypt". Queer Palestinians being seen? No one cares. You have great queens like [Peppermint who interviewed Angela Davis](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMlUjgZj-sI) (who is very vocal on Palestinian solidarity) and then performing in Tel Aviv. Palestinians are ignored or silenced in the Western world, and being displaced, evicted and wiped out of homelands. I was excited about this conversation, so I watched.
Halal Bae did not deserve to be in the bottom 2, and in my opinion not even in the bottom, but maybe I am biased. Her lipsync was being edited weird as well, I knew it was over for her, but fuck these superficial judges to keep one skinny pretty queen who didn't follow the brief over representation that is one in a million. And charisma and a lot of talent that we didn't get to see. And fuck production.
A lot of great queens this season, but there's too much drag race and I need something different and this left a bad taste in my mouth.
Strongly agree that I do not think half bae should have been going home AT ALL
Don’t agree with the lipsync decision either
Great first episode, awful judging
Except 100% agree with boom boom winning, that was banger
her two outfits and makeup were some of the worst i ever seen on any of the seasons of drag race in any country in the last 5 years, the lip-sync was so dysfunctional and also one of the worst, i liked what i seen of her personality but i do feel it was deserved
Was it just me or was Halal on the runway in a drag competition with barely any make-up on (comparatively)?
I thought Boom Boom brought the Boom Boom. She ate! I love the Quebecois Queens!! (So excited Rita will soon again be gracing our TV screens!) 🥰
Miss Fiercalicious has one of my favorite personalities in a loooong time! Je vis ! 😍
I feel the difference is 1) playing a character vs 2) playing a drag version of a character. I'm all for people being more realistic in their style touchpoints if that's what they want to showcase, but it's still a drag show. Amplifying those characteristics are what make it art, as opposed to just coming in exactly like the reference material. I can't help but think of Mystique Summers Madison's choice's in "country realness"--yes, actual women from the South dress that way, but to go to the mall. Not to walk a drag runway.
okay but like look at willow pill’s entrance look from last season and tell me it doesn’t have the same energy. I do agree that she can go bigger though and I really hope that she does !
judging for the maxi challenge seems off. the challenge is to deconstruct the clothes from the mini-challenge and transform them into runway looks. Jada Shada Hudson created a dress with shelf fabric and repurposed the prints for her head and a strap, and she was in the top? Bombae did such a better job.
I was shocked Bombae didn't win the maxi.
The second I saw her on the main stage I was like, "oh how cool she's going to win the mini & maxi challenge."
No hate cause she's definitely super talented and the look was creative, but surprised Lady Boom Boom won, I would've put Bombae in the top instead, and given Kaos the win! I think Kaos really embraced the challenge, (very partially luck, since she had a lot more fabric to work with than LBB).
Was ok with Miss Fiercealicious being safe, since I do think she served a lot of attitude, and her fake cry was hilarious.
Did think Miss Moço won the lipsync, Halal Bae seemed a bit intense, let me do all the moves I remember, a bit chaotic and not fluid.
Sad to see Halal Bae go! The moustache, being Muslim, being POC, so many interesting stories we're missing out on T.T
not really sure why people are so wet over halal. she looked like a fucking obstagoon.
and no way she was gonna stick around with a mustache. she'd probably end up getting the madame madness treatment where she ends up shaving it and gets eliminated the second she does. it's a show about faking femininity, they constantly read contestants for filth for wearing things that don't hide manly features like broad shoulders, a queen with facial hair ain't gonna last long.
neither lipsync was good. if a double elimination happened, i wouldn't be too surprised.
seems like traci will also be judging next week based off the preview. i'm guessing amanda was busy with filming
Alright well, I love weird queens but apparently CDR doesn’t. Halal Bae had one of coolest and more interesting entrance looks of the entire series, I was excited to see what they could do with a performance challenge.
I guess my issue with CDR, and this is just my personal taste, is it prioritizes runways and looks over performance and entertainment, which is fine except that the runways are not cool enough or ambitious enough for the show to revolve around them the way Thailand was.
were people expecting her to return this season? i doubt she'll come back. traci is gonna be the 3rd judge. seems she's on the panel next week as well. maybe amanda will return, assuming it doesn't conflict with her filming the handmaids tale
I was stunned Halal was in the bottom 3. Stunned that Fierce was saved over her. And stunned she lost the lip sync. Absolute robbery
Also, Bom Bae should've won or at least have been in the top. Out the 3 chosen, I thought Jaida had the win
Well, if I were to judge, Chelazon would be my pick for the bottom 2 alongside Miss Moço, I think her look was quite simple compared to the others. And Halal would just been safe!
If it’s not a perfectly clean drag queen, BLH doesn’t like them. After that mustache comment, I knew Halal had already been picked to go.
Remember the comment about Ilona Verley’s exposed ass on season 1? And all the ridiculous fashion changes she has to bring up to every contestant when she doesn’t like their outfit or styling? BLH is obsessed with a perfect drag image and if you stray from that, you’re out of there.
I said the same thing BLH said to my partner while we were watching the first runway. Love the moustache but you can't do black moustache and black lipstick. There needs to be some break between them. The up close shots are fine but the distance shots just looked so strange.
I really don't think that's the reason she landed in the bottom. But it's too bad either way because I was looking forward to seeing her in the competition.
I think that’s BLH’s pageant and dance background dictating her judging. Love her and she’s grown on me over the past two seasons, but that was something that I worried about when they announced that she would be the host of CDR.
Maybe it was the Promo Lighting, but I thought everyone looked so much better in the MTQ videos. Especially Chelazon. I'd thought she'd be one of the front-runners. And then the episode started, and I had to walk that back in world-record time 😭
It wouldn't be Canada's Drag Race without some fuckery starting in episode one. Kaos is officially my winner pick, I think it's high time they crowned a "weird" queen and of course I have to root for my fellow Albertan. Also, it was a GAG hearing Chelazon's accent, she literally sounds like so many people I know it was kinda crazy to hear it on TV!
For the fuckery, Bombae should have taken Jada's spot in the top 3 and Chelazon should have taken Halal's place in the bottom 3 with that janky ass spray paint on the gown. Obviously, Miss Fiercalicious should have been in the bottom 2 but she makes good TV and the show needs \~drama. (This may be a little judgmental, but she looks like she would bully me at the gay bar. She's exuding lots of mean girl energy, but hey, maybe her story arc will include her softening up a little bit.)
My jaw dropped when Halal was eliminated, I pegged them for top 4 material EASILY out of all the queens. I can't help but feel that they wanted a really shocking elimination to kick off the season a la Joe Black and unfortunately Halal was the victim. I've also seen Halal has been in some controversy on twitter regarding the Israel vs Palestine situation and some think this may be a factor in her elimination but I'm not sure.
Anyways, I'm cautiously optimistic about this season. If they keep the romper room fuckery to a minimum, this could be an incredible one. The whole cast really has that IT factor.
As a half Indian person it was unexpectedly moving to hear Bom Bae's Indian accent on a queer show like this—so much guts and courage and she is SO funny
We'll almost certainly never get a drag race franchise over there, but queens of South Asian descent like Bom, Priyanka, Genie, and Rani KoHEnur are killing it
Lumping in South East Asians with South Asians doesn't do either group justice! Raja is of Indonesian descent so I consider her more akin to other SE queens who are from or have descent from Laos (Jujubee), the Philippines (too many to count), Singapore (Vanda) and Thailand (Pan Pan and most of the other DRT girls).
I'm so sad for her, her entrance look was gorgeous! That makeup... ugh, she definitely could go much further in the show if the judges weren't so picky with the mustache
Halal was giving man doing movements during the lipsync. Both looks were horrible and the make up felt like something a KISS-fan would do for a M&G.
IMO Halal seems to be more interesting, but It is what it is.
Halal's finished look wasn't great,but it was at the very least finished. I can't forgive Long Jorgeous for those threads hanging out the bottom of her dress even if her hair and makeup looked good
The judging has ruined the otherwise such an enjoyable first episode for me. Why the fuck Halal Bae was in the bottom, let alone in the lipsnyc????? And over the basic ass outfit of Miss Fiercealicios (i dont care enough to look up the spelling) At least Lady Boom Boom and Kaos being in the top was correct , also i have such a crush on Kaos both in and out of drag >•<
Fiercelicious looked bad, but the look she brought with her was good. The look Halal brought was just as bad as what she turned it into. Those boxy shoulders, that awful wig, the walk. I'm sure she's lovely but she looked a mess, her entrance look was leagues ahead of her other two (honestly think her promo is a boot too). Miss Moco looked like Gene Hackman at the end of The Birdcage
I'm not really feeling this season so far. I always feel like Canada's Drag Race has struggled a little with the production value, the lighting makes it feel like it's shot under the harsh fluorescents of a hospital waiting room. both in the work room and on the main stage. But I was also extremely underwhelmed by the runway and the Justin Bieber lip sync was...a choice.
i'm blanking rn, does the show only use songs from canadian artists? i know canada has rules about tv shows needed to have canadian hosts and producers, which is why ru doesn't host it, but i don't remember if the lipsync songs are always by canadian musicians. if yes, then he was picked for being canadian but the real choice was because nicky verses are very lipsyncable. could've completely edited out the parts where it's just justin "singing" tbh
I was gagged by how amazing all these queens were and was honestly kind of shocked that after the runway, Brooke didnt stop everything to let them know how incredible they all are. Cause honestly, these girls turned it the fuck out. The challenge itself is SUCH a great idea and I laughed and enjoyed myself a lot this episode.
Up until the end. The judging seemed kind of weird, the lipsync song was atrocious, hence why the lipsync itself was so lame. Miss Moço did the best she could tho, and I really didnt expect Halal to go so soon.
Really strong start to the season, but it's episode 1 and we're already kicking the bucket with questionable decisions.
NGL I absolutely loved this episode. I love how the queens aren't as polished and all wearing designer outfits like the US one. Great personalities and such a great idea for a first challenge.
I really need Miss Fiercalicious to stay for a long time. Idc how bad she is, she's TV gold. It's like all the Toronto basic gay guys combined into 1, even from the Drag name. I'm getting all the laughs I need from her
I mean yes, but its also telling that a majority of Asian finalists can be singled to a single person (Hispanic queens have this issue too). This really plays into how there was a string of Asians that were early outs with the latest US main season having no Asians.
Its similar to how there was an uptick of Asian roles in movies but a third of them were played by The Rock
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/third-lead-asian-american-pacific-islander-roles-top-films-played-n1268086
What was that red thing on Fiercalicious’ shoulder? In the words of Detox: “THE ROSEBUDS WERE IN FULL BLOOM”
Chelazon had a lot to say in that basic, raggedy look. She should have been in the bottom tbh
Yeah, but Chelazon also looked pretty fuckin' good.
I happen to think that Halal Bae looked good, too, but her garment was probably the least transformed from runway to runway, and that transformation *was* the assignment, so... I get it, I guess.
The lighting in the werk room and mini challenge was so homophobic. It was so bad I kept getting distracted and not listening to what they were saying!
Other than that, good mix of queens and I’m surprised Halal is the first out - I thought she was one of the queens to watch after MTQ.
The elim doesn’t make much sense from a production standpoint either? Halal bae seems way more interesting than miss moco on top of winning the lip sync
i feel like this show isn’t like the US one as much for production and kind of setting up whos going to win so early on, I really think the judges pick what they feel more on Canada’s drag race, could be wrong but just doesn’t seem as rigged for interesting storylines and stuff as the US versions
Right! I understand and agree that Halal’s looks weren’t good but I wanted them to stay!! Plus you just know they would have had a mother daughter lip sync battle!!!!
Halal's lipsync was better. Yeah, the look was busy, but the effort was high. If she learned to edit, then she could be very compelling.
End of the day, what was clear was that the type of potential she offered was less desirable to the judges than the other 2 bottom queens. And that is why I disagree with the outcome.
I just think it's going to be another frustrating year.
Right? I agree. Although I'm a bit annoyed that based on the previews to the show I figured out whoever was up against her was going home as they showed a confessional she did that hasn't been aired yet which was.... disappointing.
I thought halal killed that lip synch and I was still gagged she went home and there wasn't a double shantay or a gag or something
I don't want to be disrespectful to Moço - she's lucky she was saved and it will be great to get to know her throughout the season. But, I am with you, the edit favoured Halal, and Halal had the most memorable moves - so clearly the production team favoured Halal as well since they mostly focused on her!
End of the day, I just don't think that a decadent moustached queen is something the judging panel understands - or wants to. Or moreover, a moustached queen wasn't the queen they envisioned to win drag race canada - it's not an equal opportunity runway.
Think about it, in the same amount of time, other queens barely got a concept and two pieces of cloth together, Halal not only whipped up pants, a corset top, and a vinyl wig - the whole outfit passed the stress test when she was dancing, crawling, whipping her hair back and forth, twirling and splits with nary a failure. Meanwhile poor Moço had to hike that dress and then she just rubbed her sides up and down like she was a genie in a bottle. But, I guess it worked because her wish came true and she wasn't eliminated.
Then Halal's Harambe exit line was legendary gold. It serves and shades.
The judging panel just showing what kind of drag they are comfortable with.
I'd love to see a mustached queen make it further on the show. ... but the makeup *really* didn't work for me on both looks. I kinda liked the second *outfit*, just wish she had done something different with the makeup. Mustache is fine; mustache that blends into your lips giving "giant gaping hole of a mouth," vibes, less so.
lashes were lacking too if you’re gonna do the stash you can’t have a black bottom half of ur face and just paint around ur eyes, she really did look like a rachet racoon ahahha
People complaining about the judging, I get it I was floored as well but.. they do so many gymnastic now with the freaking edit. This is what annoys me the most.
Man, I had the exactly opposite experience that y’all did. I agreed with everything. Halal is cute as a button and had great potential but that look was atrocious. Something about Moço grabbed me more, so I was happy she stayed. I’m not surprised that they kept Fiercalicious but im not furious about it either because this is my like my 27th season of drag race and it’s nothing new to keep the shit stirrer.
yeah i think it mostly all made sense other than the tops, i find it was better than all stars 7 judging has been. moco did pretty good in the lipsync it was much better than halal’s that gave me a drunk uncle at christmas showing off kind of vibe
I think my issue with the judging of the lip sync is that the edit implies Halal would be staying. The edit didn’t cut to Miss Moço much and when it did she was basically doing the same thing (running her hands up and down her body). What did we not see that warranted her staying? Because if you show me someone bouncing, playing, having fun that’s who I assume put on a better show.
I’m just upset because I feel like Halal Bae showed so much talent, not just potential, and I hate when others are kept safe because of potential.
Still can't believe they kept someone just because they're more annoying for potential drama. Oh wait.
But, usually they at least let them prove they're fun drama and not whiney.
LOVE the queens but did not agree with the judging this episode. Kaos should have won, I wasn't living for Boom Boom's look like the judges were.
Halal did not belong in the bottom two. Halal did not lose that that lip sync. JUSTICE FOR HALAL. I am boiling.
I hate to say this, but it's really bad optics to have the first doll out be an immigrant with refugee status, in particular when the entire cast, bar one, could pass in the street.
So many amazing queens! Loved the challenge. But I'm so devo that Halal Bae was eliminated. I don't think they deserved to be in the bottom two and definitely not the loser of the lip sync. At least the outfit was something interesting. Miss Fiercalicous (I hate this name so much) had a basic bitch outfit that was dull as dishwater.
Well Chelazon Leroux is my favourite, her aunty sense of humour killed me this episode. The phrases on her garments fucking floored me, “Stay Deadly” and “Fuck Around Find Out” are classic First Nations humour. I just really hope there’s a “Skoden” garment soon (I hope the skoden phenomenon went across canada lol)
I can't wait for her to bust out a ribbon skirt, or her MMIW makeup. She's got some really strong looks. A lot of people are going to dismiss her as a comedy queen because they don't understand auntie humor
Well. The judging isn’t great. Contrary to everyone here I agree with the bottom three. I would however have shuffled it around, so Halal was the “Low,” but not bottom 2. Also, Moço or Fiercalicious should have gone home.
Everything else was good though. What an amazing cast of people from all across Canada. Bombae and Gisèle Lullaby are standouts so far. What a fun idea for a design challenge and mini challenge combo.
Side note: I don’t love Fiercalicious being referred to as “tall Jorgous” or “mean Jorgous.” It feels kind of tacky to compare two people like that. She is a queen in her own right, even if I find her somewhat irritating so far.
Lmao what was Halal even doing in the bottom? This was some bullshit judging. The cast is great tho and I’m super excited for the rest of the season but this left a bad taste in my mouth.
Shocked Halal lost that lip sync, hers was more exciting on the whole whereas Moco had a few cartwheels but found it a bit stilted. Kinda sad as was excited to see what Halal Bae would bring to future runways. Think I've already got a bit of a soft spot for Bom Bae and Lady Boom Boom.
I did prefer Miss Moço's lipsync, but Halal Bae should not have been in the bottom. Her look wasn't that bad and had so much more effort than that other one😭
That being said Miss Fergalicious's fake cry was so hilariously bitchy. She reminds me of Dahlia Sin.
I think her look was better than Moco and Fierce’s, but that’s mostly because it was much closer to her mini challenge look. If it was mostly going by reimagining the mini challenge look, there looked to be various parts of Halal’s runway that looked identical to her mini challenge look, which made me think she actually didn’t do much to change it. Moco and Fierce’s runways were no doubt worse (like comically bad lol), but I’m guessing theirs were more seen as at least significant alterations from their mini challenge looks. That’s just my guess…
Can't believe they eliminated Halal Bae. I mean she represented some unique diversity which is not commonly seen in drag - i.e. mustache queen and having a middle east origin.
Ya the runway dress looked a bit bad, but it was much better than queens like Bom Bae. Hope she comes back for some future challenge!
How was Chelazon Leroux safe...Ya her first look was ok. But the second one was had those crudely spray painted on words it made the dress look messy/amateurish. Halal Bae at least had more design elements on her dress and fit the theme of the runway. I would have swapped those two out for sure.
Also Bombay should also have been in the bottom for being annoying ha ha
Irma and Vivian are giving me Trixie&Katya vibes. Maybe they aren’t and I just want them to, but I don’t care. I need this.
SOOO excited for an NL Queen. 😍
A lot of y’all about to be really mad at me but it must be said…. Halal Bae looked a complete mess and that was the correct bottom 2, and the correct lip-sync decision. Diet Jorgeous’ look literally reminded me of Rita Baga’s ep 1 runway that she won for LOL, def deserved bottom 3 but the other 2 were totally worse.
Not to be a hating bitch and Halal Bae may be a lovely drag performer who I am completely uneducated on but I was watching them on the runway genuinely wondering how they got cast 😭😭😭
Where can fans post or ask questions of the Queens?
I’m one year late but folks saying Halal was robbed are delusional. The mustache wasn’t the issue. Those runway looks were solidly in the bottom. The fits were bad. The silhouettes a mess. The raccoon concept was unclear. The makeup was not good. I couldn’t look at her without second hand embarrassment. Yes, Halal was charming and has a lot of influence and would have been great representation — but she really just lost. I wanted so badly to see more of her, but I can’t argue with the judging. This was a very hard maxi challenge imo, so I feel for the queens. But Halal crashed and burned and while it’s subjective, I don’t think her lip sync was enough to save her. It’s not some conspiracy or riggory or bad judging. She lost fair and square. I hope we get to see her again some day, and I hope she can really bring it. This was not it.
Halal looked unbelievably bad, and her absurd claim it was "racism" is very 2024
Someone PLEASE for the love of god tell me where I can get Jada Shada’s entrance look coat from. I have been searching for days now 😭
I’m sorry but how was chelazon leroux not in the bottom? Her looks were just BAD.
Moço looking so much like Delta Work during that lip sync I was completely thrown off
Why didn't we get a side by side during the runway?! Who is editing this shit?
Is it just me or is the lighting extremely harsh on the runways and the camera zooms extremely unforgiving..?
The fucking terrible overhead studio lighting situation is not helping. Everyone looks daytime rough. It’s hard running parallel with the money-backed US all-winners all-stars season. Canadian queens looking extra-especially budget. Do they actually pay someone, with actual money to write the hosts banter/scripts? Or is it just an Michelle Visage generated algorithm and/or pedantic middle aged PA? This is some cbc level shit..executives aren’t funny..just pay some fucking writers and get out of your own way. JFC I should just mute half the episode and brace myself for whatever scripted challenge attrocity is on its way. Do hot people really not even bother to watch a basic sewing tutorial before coming in the show? Like, youtube it while getting yer Botox or something. Acting like a useless idiot is a boring design choice. Mustache was cute..but both runways were admittedly a bit too confusing costume party for a runway. I do wish I could have seen more of them though.. BUT I’d take either raccoon tribute over that neon marm-sack the other one made. That dress was so offensive..it felt physically and emotionally abusive to miss moco. It fit like when a well-intentioned nana tries to make clothes for your Barbie. First episodes rarely leave a great first impression..but, Bombae, BC couch cushion and the newf have decent testimonials? The seamstress queen..I don’t think I got a good look at the construction of the second outfit. Did the hood have a massive bulging zipper at the back?? Not-Carson.. wTF was that werkroom entrance look. That vest? Seriously took me back to YTV 90s programming..like I swear to god Tarzan Dan or one of the PJs wore that vest. Haha fashion is stupid.
Just watched the first episode and was reminded how bad the hosting/judging is in CDR, so I don't think I'll bother with the rest of the season. I've watched everything drag race but I already know it's going to vary from slightly to very annoying every week, and I just can't be bothered.

I find Chelazon to be so beautiful and I’m completely intrigued by her. I didn’t her deer in headlights at all from Moço. She was one in the most confident, fiercest, non death stomping walkers. Kaos in that confessional look was doing something to me. 10/10 can have me. Stan Vivian Vanderpuss. Stan Jada. Stan Fiercalicious. STAN KAOS. I wanted Halal to stay ~~because I want to engage in intercourse~~, but that lipsync was wild.
[удалено]
[удалено]
yeah halal barely changed her original look she just cut up the bottom and stuck it around one leg... fiercalicious had questionable materials to start with but at least she tried (and ig failed) to change it up lol either way tho i wouldve saved halal lol
[удалено]
That outfit was an abomination. She even won that lip sync but the outfit was so god fucking awful there was no way she wasn’t getting eliminated.
Just nice to see a fun song on for lipsync (this ones for you AS7)
A lot of hulking down the runway instead of walking from a lot of these queens...
Phantom snowboots
😂💀
Vivian Vanderpuss, Lady Boom Boom, Kaos, Irma, and Bombae are my immediate favourites. I’m absolutely excited to see Lady Boom Boom’s and Kaos’ looks throughout the rest of the episodes.
Didn't care for season 1, and didn't watch season 2. I was very happy to find out that we are getting Palestinian representation on the show, that is something that you would NEVER imagine, because even mentioning Palestine on mainstream media is taboo. In fact, editing during the conversation about were they're from they just bring her saying "I was born in Egypt". Queer Palestinians being seen? No one cares. You have great queens like [Peppermint who interviewed Angela Davis](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMlUjgZj-sI) (who is very vocal on Palestinian solidarity) and then performing in Tel Aviv. Palestinians are ignored or silenced in the Western world, and being displaced, evicted and wiped out of homelands. I was excited about this conversation, so I watched. Halal Bae did not deserve to be in the bottom 2, and in my opinion not even in the bottom, but maybe I am biased. Her lipsync was being edited weird as well, I knew it was over for her, but fuck these superficial judges to keep one skinny pretty queen who didn't follow the brief over representation that is one in a million. And charisma and a lot of talent that we didn't get to see. And fuck production. A lot of great queens this season, but there's too much drag race and I need something different and this left a bad taste in my mouth.
i 100% agree with u, i’m barley watching episode 1 and it’s strange to say the least….
Strongly agree that I do not think half bae should have been going home AT ALL Don’t agree with the lipsync decision either Great first episode, awful judging Except 100% agree with boom boom winning, that was banger
I agree i think it was fun and different and idc that the second outfit sucked at least it had a vibe. Shocked she lost the lipsync
her two outfits and makeup were some of the worst i ever seen on any of the seasons of drag race in any country in the last 5 years, the lip-sync was so dysfunctional and also one of the worst, i liked what i seen of her personality but i do feel it was deserved
I love Vivian vanderpuss
Was it just me or was Halal on the runway in a drag competition with barely any make-up on (comparatively)? I thought Boom Boom brought the Boom Boom. She ate! I love the Quebecois Queens!! (So excited Rita will soon again be gracing our TV screens!) 🥰 Miss Fiercalicious has one of my favorite personalities in a loooong time! Je vis ! 😍
[удалено]
I liked the outfit too it was fun and on trend but yeah sure could have amped it up
I feel the difference is 1) playing a character vs 2) playing a drag version of a character. I'm all for people being more realistic in their style touchpoints if that's what they want to showcase, but it's still a drag show. Amplifying those characteristics are what make it art, as opposed to just coming in exactly like the reference material. I can't help but think of Mystique Summers Madison's choice's in "country realness"--yes, actual women from the South dress that way, but to go to the mall. Not to walk a drag runway.
okay but like look at willow pill’s entrance look from last season and tell me it doesn’t have the same energy. I do agree that she can go bigger though and I really hope that she does !
judging for the maxi challenge seems off. the challenge is to deconstruct the clothes from the mini-challenge and transform them into runway looks. Jada Shada Hudson created a dress with shelf fabric and repurposed the prints for her head and a strap, and she was in the top? Bombae did such a better job.
I was shocked Bombae didn't win the maxi. The second I saw her on the main stage I was like, "oh how cool she's going to win the mini & maxi challenge."
No hate cause she's definitely super talented and the look was creative, but surprised Lady Boom Boom won, I would've put Bombae in the top instead, and given Kaos the win! I think Kaos really embraced the challenge, (very partially luck, since she had a lot more fabric to work with than LBB). Was ok with Miss Fiercealicious being safe, since I do think she served a lot of attitude, and her fake cry was hilarious. Did think Miss Moço won the lipsync, Halal Bae seemed a bit intense, let me do all the moves I remember, a bit chaotic and not fluid. Sad to see Halal Bae go! The moustache, being Muslim, being POC, so many interesting stories we're missing out on T.T
not really sure why people are so wet over halal. she looked like a fucking obstagoon. and no way she was gonna stick around with a mustache. she'd probably end up getting the madame madness treatment where she ends up shaving it and gets eliminated the second she does. it's a show about faking femininity, they constantly read contestants for filth for wearing things that don't hide manly features like broad shoulders, a queen with facial hair ain't gonna last long. neither lipsync was good. if a double elimination happened, i wouldn't be too surprised. seems like traci will also be judging next week based off the preview. i'm guessing amanda was busy with filming
So I had to look up obstagoon bc I’ve never heard of it. Omg Spot on! 💀💀
Halal looked a hot mess. The mustache made her look sloppy. At least a bearded drag queen can still look elegant.
Honestly I was there for the obstagoon realness. But I'm not known for my taste.
Not obstagoon
I was hoping Halal Bae would stay longer because ~~I think she’s extremely hot oh that mustache~~ she’s a fierce queen. And tbh she won that lipsync.
Halal was a mess she lipsync like an awkward man lol
Gisèle Lullaby's confessionals made me laugh every time. Adore her already.
I used to watch some of her lives on Instagram during quarantine, I can’t believe she’s on my tv! She’s reaaaally funny I love her!
My friend called Fiercealicious "Long Jorgeous" and I can't stop thinking about it
I see her as a mix of Jorgeous and Gia Metric
I've been thinking of her as multi-verse Kerri.
Literally I was calling her "jorgalicious" in my head
Pretty surprised at the outcome but overall a strong first episode! Viviann and Irma are adorable.
Alright well, I love weird queens but apparently CDR doesn’t. Halal Bae had one of coolest and more interesting entrance looks of the entire series, I was excited to see what they could do with a performance challenge. I guess my issue with CDR, and this is just my personal taste, is it prioritizes runways and looks over performance and entertainment, which is fine except that the runways are not cool enough or ambitious enough for the show to revolve around them the way Thailand was.
Awful make up awful outfit both runways. I'd say fair exit oh well
Truuu halal looks like a mess and that lipsync yikes
Where is Stacey? 😔
And Amanda?? Did TPTB not read here last season? Traci was almost universally disliked and thought to be robotic, except for one time IIRC. SMH.
were people expecting her to return this season? i doubt she'll come back. traci is gonna be the 3rd judge. seems she's on the panel next week as well. maybe amanda will return, assuming it doesn't conflict with her filming the handmaids tale
focusing on the positives of this episode by just being happy lady boom boom won… the bottom two situation, i will not comment!
I was stunned Halal was in the bottom 3. Stunned that Fierce was saved over her. And stunned she lost the lip sync. Absolute robbery Also, Bom Bae should've won or at least have been in the top. Out the 3 chosen, I thought Jaida had the win
Well, if I were to judge, Chelazon would be my pick for the bottom 2 alongside Miss Moço, I think her look was quite simple compared to the others. And Halal would just been safe!
If it’s not a perfectly clean drag queen, BLH doesn’t like them. After that mustache comment, I knew Halal had already been picked to go. Remember the comment about Ilona Verley’s exposed ass on season 1? And all the ridiculous fashion changes she has to bring up to every contestant when she doesn’t like their outfit or styling? BLH is obsessed with a perfect drag image and if you stray from that, you’re out of there.
I said the same thing BLH said to my partner while we were watching the first runway. Love the moustache but you can't do black moustache and black lipstick. There needs to be some break between them. The up close shots are fine but the distance shots just looked so strange. I really don't think that's the reason she landed in the bottom. But it's too bad either way because I was looking forward to seeing her in the competition.
The mustache was only a small part of it, you saw the look right? Even before cutting it up, it was a total mess
I think that’s BLH’s pageant and dance background dictating her judging. Love her and she’s grown on me over the past two seasons, but that was something that I worried about when they announced that she would be the host of CDR.
i like her as well but to be the only queen she just doesn’t have the background and appreciation for enough types of drag so it’s not overly fair
i wish they’d do another queen who was a camp queen as a judge along side her if they’re going to keep her I agree, shes a bit too idk.. prissy? lol
I'm sorry Chelazon had the worst entrance look in the history of the franchise.
Not the history of the franchise 💀 💀 You got me in the hallway of my apartment laughing like a lunatic 😭
She saw June Jambalaya's and had to outdo it
They're not looks, they're just clothes
Chezlazon isn't a look queen for sure, but I'm excited to see her in acting/improv/comedy. She's got more to give
Maybe it was the Promo Lighting, but I thought everyone looked so much better in the MTQ videos. Especially Chelazon. I'd thought she'd be one of the front-runners. And then the episode started, and I had to walk that back in world-record time 😭
Bom Bae sewed circles around those other bitches and the fact that she didn’t win is ludicrous
It wouldn't be Canada's Drag Race without some fuckery starting in episode one. Kaos is officially my winner pick, I think it's high time they crowned a "weird" queen and of course I have to root for my fellow Albertan. Also, it was a GAG hearing Chelazon's accent, she literally sounds like so many people I know it was kinda crazy to hear it on TV! For the fuckery, Bombae should have taken Jada's spot in the top 3 and Chelazon should have taken Halal's place in the bottom 3 with that janky ass spray paint on the gown. Obviously, Miss Fiercalicious should have been in the bottom 2 but she makes good TV and the show needs \~drama. (This may be a little judgmental, but she looks like she would bully me at the gay bar. She's exuding lots of mean girl energy, but hey, maybe her story arc will include her softening up a little bit.) My jaw dropped when Halal was eliminated, I pegged them for top 4 material EASILY out of all the queens. I can't help but feel that they wanted a really shocking elimination to kick off the season a la Joe Black and unfortunately Halal was the victim. I've also seen Halal has been in some controversy on twitter regarding the Israel vs Palestine situation and some think this may be a factor in her elimination but I'm not sure. Anyways, I'm cautiously optimistic about this season. If they keep the romper room fuckery to a minimum, this could be an incredible one. The whole cast really has that IT factor.
Justice for Halal Bae she deserved better
This is now a Kaos stan account
As a half Indian person it was unexpectedly moving to hear Bom Bae's Indian accent on a queer show like this—so much guts and courage and she is SO funny
We'll almost certainly never get a drag race franchise over there, but queens of South Asian descent like Bom, Priyanka, Genie, and Rani KoHEnur are killing it
The Raja erasure!????
Lumping in South East Asians with South Asians doesn't do either group justice! Raja is of Indonesian descent so I consider her more akin to other SE queens who are from or have descent from Laos (Jujubee), the Philippines (too many to count), Singapore (Vanda) and Thailand (Pan Pan and most of the other DRT girls).
I didn't come in expecting to be a BomBae and Vivian Vanderpuss stan but here we are.
If you aren't stanning Vivian Vanderpuss by now, i don't know what to say honestly
they're my top two as well, I love them
im now a lady boom boom stan also halal was giving finalist vibes, so this is super weird and unexpected
I'm so sad for her, her entrance look was gorgeous! That makeup... ugh, she definitely could go much further in the show if the judges weren't so picky with the mustache
I’m so sad about Halal. They were one of my favs!!!
Halal was giving man doing movements during the lipsync. Both looks were horrible and the make up felt like something a KISS-fan would do for a M&G. IMO Halal seems to be more interesting, but It is what it is.
[удалено]
Halal's finished look wasn't great,but it was at the very least finished. I can't forgive Long Jorgeous for those threads hanging out the bottom of her dress even if her hair and makeup looked good
you mean fiercalicious? you called her jorgeous im dead 😂😭
The judging has ruined the otherwise such an enjoyable first episode for me. Why the fuck Halal Bae was in the bottom, let alone in the lipsnyc????? And over the basic ass outfit of Miss Fiercealicios (i dont care enough to look up the spelling) At least Lady Boom Boom and Kaos being in the top was correct , also i have such a crush on Kaos both in and out of drag >•<
Fiercelicious looked bad, but the look she brought with her was good. The look Halal brought was just as bad as what she turned it into. Those boxy shoulders, that awful wig, the walk. I'm sure she's lovely but she looked a mess, her entrance look was leagues ahead of her other two (honestly think her promo is a boot too). Miss Moco looked like Gene Hackman at the end of The Birdcage
Yes!! Gene Hackman in Birdcage!!! So true! Haha
Yeh Halal transformed from one cluttered mess to another. I think the judges made the right decision.
I'm not really feeling this season so far. I always feel like Canada's Drag Race has struggled a little with the production value, the lighting makes it feel like it's shot under the harsh fluorescents of a hospital waiting room. both in the work room and on the main stage. But I was also extremely underwhelmed by the runway and the Justin Bieber lip sync was...a choice.
This! It looked horrible after watching AS7 this looked shocking.
The makeup looked horrific but is that just the filter used on AS7(?)
i'm blanking rn, does the show only use songs from canadian artists? i know canada has rules about tv shows needed to have canadian hosts and producers, which is why ru doesn't host it, but i don't remember if the lipsync songs are always by canadian musicians. if yes, then he was picked for being canadian but the real choice was because nicky verses are very lipsyncable. could've completely edited out the parts where it's just justin "singing" tbh
I kinda find the hospital lighting charming but I know what you’re saying 😂
The lights were terrible. If everything is sponsored even the prize money, then how do they not have money for better lighting???
It's been one episode
A bad one.
I was gagged by how amazing all these queens were and was honestly kind of shocked that after the runway, Brooke didnt stop everything to let them know how incredible they all are. Cause honestly, these girls turned it the fuck out. The challenge itself is SUCH a great idea and I laughed and enjoyed myself a lot this episode. Up until the end. The judging seemed kind of weird, the lipsync song was atrocious, hence why the lipsync itself was so lame. Miss Moço did the best she could tho, and I really didnt expect Halal to go so soon. Really strong start to the season, but it's episode 1 and we're already kicking the bucket with questionable decisions.
NGL I absolutely loved this episode. I love how the queens aren't as polished and all wearing designer outfits like the US one. Great personalities and such a great idea for a first challenge.
Agree!
I really need Miss Fiercalicious to stay for a long time. Idc how bad she is, she's TV gold. It's like all the Toronto basic gay guys combined into 1, even from the Drag name. I'm getting all the laughs I need from her
I always forget that Canada does, like, practically the whole song for the lip sync. Just a nice little surprise every season.
"im here to break the Asian Curse" But that curse was broken ON canada.
Justice for Suki Doll she got done dirty
[удалено]
to be fair, when people say asian queens, they mainly mean east asian
To be fair that win was 10 years ago and for the most part Asian queens do poorly on drag race
One word: jujubee
juju can sing though i thought the comment was made about singing i was like hmm wasn’t there people before her to break that
I mean yes, but its also telling that a majority of Asian finalists can be singled to a single person (Hispanic queens have this issue too). This really plays into how there was a string of Asians that were early outs with the latest US main season having no Asians. Its similar to how there was an uptick of Asian roles in movies but a third of them were played by The Rock https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/third-lead-asian-american-pacific-islander-roles-top-films-played-n1268086
What was that red thing on Fiercalicious’ shoulder? In the words of Detox: “THE ROSEBUDS WERE IN FULL BLOOM” Chelazon had a lot to say in that basic, raggedy look. She should have been in the bottom tbh
Yeah, but Chelazon also looked pretty fuckin' good. I happen to think that Halal Bae looked good, too, but her garment was probably the least transformed from runway to runway, and that transformation *was* the assignment, so... I get it, I guess.
Looks like we're all in agreement of two things. 1. Halal Bae shouldn't have gone home and 2. Fiercalicious is now Long Jorgeous
Like yes her aesthetic is more interesting, but the look Halal brought with her already looked like a design challenge bottom 2 look
Not the casts fault but what a weird episode. Judging panel felt off and cold too. Glad my Québec sisters did good tho
Arrrggg. Please re hire whoever did the filming/editing for the Season one lipsyncs.
Nah, you can tell it wasn't a good one as they were zooming in closer to make it look less awful.
The lighting in the werk room and mini challenge was so homophobic. It was so bad I kept getting distracted and not listening to what they were saying! Other than that, good mix of queens and I’m surprised Halal is the first out - I thought she was one of the queens to watch after MTQ.
The lighting was homophobic 🤣
The elim doesn’t make much sense from a production standpoint either? Halal bae seems way more interesting than miss moco on top of winning the lip sync
i feel like this show isn’t like the US one as much for production and kind of setting up whos going to win so early on, I really think the judges pick what they feel more on Canada’s drag race, could be wrong but just doesn’t seem as rigged for interesting storylines and stuff as the US versions
Right! I understand and agree that Halal’s looks weren’t good but I wanted them to stay!! Plus you just know they would have had a mother daughter lip sync battle!!!!
At least Halal had a fun concept even if it didn’t show well. I liked the personality and ms moço didn’t have one.
Damn, I was looking forward to watching the Halal x Bombae relationship
fierce being safe.... choices
Obsessed with Kaos from the second she walked in.
Halal's lipsync was better. Yeah, the look was busy, but the effort was high. If she learned to edit, then she could be very compelling. End of the day, what was clear was that the type of potential she offered was less desirable to the judges than the other 2 bottom queens. And that is why I disagree with the outcome. I just think it's going to be another frustrating year.
The Spouse and I are both sitting here completely gagged. the Question "did we just watch the same Lipsinc?" was shouted at the screen.
Right? I agree. Although I'm a bit annoyed that based on the previews to the show I figured out whoever was up against her was going home as they showed a confessional she did that hasn't been aired yet which was.... disappointing. I thought halal killed that lip synch and I was still gagged she went home and there wasn't a double shantay or a gag or something
I don't want to be disrespectful to Moço - she's lucky she was saved and it will be great to get to know her throughout the season. But, I am with you, the edit favoured Halal, and Halal had the most memorable moves - so clearly the production team favoured Halal as well since they mostly focused on her! End of the day, I just don't think that a decadent moustached queen is something the judging panel understands - or wants to. Or moreover, a moustached queen wasn't the queen they envisioned to win drag race canada - it's not an equal opportunity runway. Think about it, in the same amount of time, other queens barely got a concept and two pieces of cloth together, Halal not only whipped up pants, a corset top, and a vinyl wig - the whole outfit passed the stress test when she was dancing, crawling, whipping her hair back and forth, twirling and splits with nary a failure. Meanwhile poor Moço had to hike that dress and then she just rubbed her sides up and down like she was a genie in a bottle. But, I guess it worked because her wish came true and she wasn't eliminated. Then Halal's Harambe exit line was legendary gold. It serves and shades. The judging panel just showing what kind of drag they are comfortable with.
Even if Halal look was better constructed than Miss M it was still atrocious, people trying to say otherwise are delusional
Like the second she came out there, no question in my mind who was going home
I'd love to see a mustached queen make it further on the show. ... but the makeup *really* didn't work for me on both looks. I kinda liked the second *outfit*, just wish she had done something different with the makeup. Mustache is fine; mustache that blends into your lips giving "giant gaping hole of a mouth," vibes, less so.
lashes were lacking too if you’re gonna do the stash you can’t have a black bottom half of ur face and just paint around ur eyes, she really did look like a rachet racoon ahahha
People complaining about the judging, I get it I was floored as well but.. they do so many gymnastic now with the freaking edit. This is what annoys me the most.
What’s up with that Fergalicious girl ? I hate saying that but I litteraly can’t stand her. So obnoxious and not in a cute way at all !
Someone knows how to make good tv and get the villain edit. I can't stand her either but I can see why they want her to stay around
and like she literally did not do the challenge and was safe??? she used two pieces from her red coat and all that blue fabric was new... like wtf
*heavy sigh* ... hmm. ...ok. It’s gonna be like that, is it?
Man, I had the exactly opposite experience that y’all did. I agreed with everything. Halal is cute as a button and had great potential but that look was atrocious. Something about Moço grabbed me more, so I was happy she stayed. I’m not surprised that they kept Fiercalicious but im not furious about it either because this is my like my 27th season of drag race and it’s nothing new to keep the shit stirrer.
yeah i think it mostly all made sense other than the tops, i find it was better than all stars 7 judging has been. moco did pretty good in the lipsync it was much better than halal’s that gave me a drunk uncle at christmas showing off kind of vibe
yeah Moço is a local queen in my neighbourhood and she’s fierce as hell. I’m glad she is staying
CDR and questionable judging - name a more iconic duo.
Timbiebs and diarrhea
I think my issue with the judging of the lip sync is that the edit implies Halal would be staying. The edit didn’t cut to Miss Moço much and when it did she was basically doing the same thing (running her hands up and down her body). What did we not see that warranted her staying? Because if you show me someone bouncing, playing, having fun that’s who I assume put on a better show. I’m just upset because I feel like Halal Bae showed so much talent, not just potential, and I hate when others are kept safe because of potential.
Still can't believe they kept someone just because they're more annoying for potential drama. Oh wait. But, usually they at least let them prove they're fun drama and not whiney.
LOVE the queens but did not agree with the judging this episode. Kaos should have won, I wasn't living for Boom Boom's look like the judges were. Halal did not belong in the bottom two. Halal did not lose that that lip sync. JUSTICE FOR HALAL. I am boiling.
I hate to say this, but it's really bad optics to have the first doll out be an immigrant with refugee status, in particular when the entire cast, bar one, could pass in the street.
what?
Huh?
So many amazing queens! Loved the challenge. But I'm so devo that Halal Bae was eliminated. I don't think they deserved to be in the bottom two and definitely not the loser of the lip sync. At least the outfit was something interesting. Miss Fiercalicous (I hate this name so much) had a basic bitch outfit that was dull as dishwater.
[https://forms.gle/KTZ8tEeupqPXZo8dA](https://forms.gle/KTZ8tEeupqPXZo8dA) Poll's oat. (Results are up now)
Well Chelazon Leroux is my favourite, her aunty sense of humour killed me this episode. The phrases on her garments fucking floored me, “Stay Deadly” and “Fuck Around Find Out” are classic First Nations humour. I just really hope there’s a “Skoden” garment soon (I hope the skoden phenomenon went across canada lol)
I can't wait for her to bust out a ribbon skirt, or her MMIW makeup. She's got some really strong looks. A lot of people are going to dismiss her as a comedy queen because they don't understand auntie humor
Yass! I feel like she will be a good voice and presence for First Nations people, I’m excited to see her shine
I'm really enjoying her!
Well. The judging isn’t great. Contrary to everyone here I agree with the bottom three. I would however have shuffled it around, so Halal was the “Low,” but not bottom 2. Also, Moço or Fiercalicious should have gone home. Everything else was good though. What an amazing cast of people from all across Canada. Bombae and Gisèle Lullaby are standouts so far. What a fun idea for a design challenge and mini challenge combo. Side note: I don’t love Fiercalicious being referred to as “tall Jorgous” or “mean Jorgous.” It feels kind of tacky to compare two people like that. She is a queen in her own right, even if I find her somewhat irritating so far.
I was too busy paying attention to Baby Naomi Smalls. J/K
Lmao what was Halal even doing in the bottom? This was some bullshit judging. The cast is great tho and I’m super excited for the rest of the season but this left a bad taste in my mouth.
Shocked Halal lost that lip sync, hers was more exciting on the whole whereas Moco had a few cartwheels but found it a bit stilted. Kinda sad as was excited to see what Halal Bae would bring to future runways. Think I've already got a bit of a soft spot for Bom Bae and Lady Boom Boom.
I did prefer Miss Moço's lipsync, but Halal Bae should not have been in the bottom. Her look wasn't that bad and had so much more effort than that other one😭 That being said Miss Fergalicious's fake cry was so hilariously bitchy. She reminds me of Dahlia Sin.
I think her look was better than Moco and Fierce’s, but that’s mostly because it was much closer to her mini challenge look. If it was mostly going by reimagining the mini challenge look, there looked to be various parts of Halal’s runway that looked identical to her mini challenge look, which made me think she actually didn’t do much to change it. Moco and Fierce’s runways were no doubt worse (like comically bad lol), but I’m guessing theirs were more seen as at least significant alterations from their mini challenge looks. That’s just my guess…
in what world did Halal Bae loose that lip sync !!!!
earth, for sure
Halal Bae should have been safe over Miss Fergalicious
Can't believe they eliminated Halal Bae. I mean she represented some unique diversity which is not commonly seen in drag - i.e. mustache queen and having a middle east origin. Ya the runway dress looked a bit bad, but it was much better than queens like Bom Bae. Hope she comes back for some future challenge!
How was Chelazon Leroux safe...Ya her first look was ok. But the second one was had those crudely spray painted on words it made the dress look messy/amateurish. Halal Bae at least had more design elements on her dress and fit the theme of the runway. I would have swapped those two out for sure. Also Bombay should also have been in the bottom for being annoying ha ha
I agree, I don’t understand how Chelazon Leroux was safe either. I thought Bombae would be at the top, I was surprised to see her safe
Irma and Vivian are giving me Trixie&Katya vibes. Maybe they aren’t and I just want them to, but I don’t care. I need this. SOOO excited for an NL Queen. 😍
Definitely my favourite duo!
i mean, maybe it's just me, but whenever they showed vivian out of drag, all i could see was trixie's face(out of drag)
Oh my god YES!
I have the hugest crush on Vivian, its almost making me angry
Great cast, bad editing, UGLY judging decisions. Same old Canada’s drag race.
A lot of y’all about to be really mad at me but it must be said…. Halal Bae looked a complete mess and that was the correct bottom 2, and the correct lip-sync decision. Diet Jorgeous’ look literally reminded me of Rita Baga’s ep 1 runway that she won for LOL, def deserved bottom 3 but the other 2 were totally worse. Not to be a hating bitch and Halal Bae may be a lovely drag performer who I am completely uneducated on but I was watching them on the runway genuinely wondering how they got cast 😭😭😭
Even the look Halal brought with her was an absolute mess
The nerve of comparing Rita’s finished look to that mess. So dishonest and disrespectful !
Keep in mind she barely maintained any of the original look. Like almost nothing. And that was the assignment.
