tv show Canada's Drag Race | Season 5 | EP1: Go Off, Queen

[brooklyndaddy]

This season is sort of odd to me in the way that none of the queens really feel fully realized to me but there are still great moments, looks, personality, and drama. Like nobody screams “winner” at all, but I’m not mad about it. US queens always are so focused on having a brand and these queens feel more authentic in a way… reminds me of US seasons 4-6 in terms of cast dynamic.

 

The Jada payola has been far too much  She gives me Jaidynn Dior Fierce which is fine but not to be pushed this far along. Gisele is decent, but not the most compelling. Fierce, Vivian and Kimmy though 

[Mikeymoonshine]

I didn't enjoy the Rusical but I also didn't think any of them did badly. Felt like Kimmy did the best but I knew she wouldn't win when she came out in that runway. Vivian deserved a win and did good so I'm not mad at it but fierce and Kimmy did do better so I guess it kinda sucks for them. 

 

Gisele still feels like the winner to me though last couple of weeks have been a struggle for her. For a sec I even thought Irma was gonna win the lip sync but Giselle really stepped it up where as irma just did the same thing throughout the entire thing. 

 

It was Irma's time and I think she did good on the season just tough competition in the areas she does well in. 

 

I hope Giselle wins my second pick would be Kimmy but I don't see it for her. 

[aayAlex]

i just dont see them crowning 2 coutures in a row

[Hector]

Hate to admit it,  but Fierce turned it out with every one of her looks this week. Well deserved winner,  only Jada would have been close.

 

Awww Kimmy.  Her looks weren't all perfect but I liked it. And her lipsync was incredible,  a true assassin  Vivian had a good run at least. 

 

Any would technically be deserving but team Kimmy and Jada

[FOCK]

I say it every week, but I freakin love this cast so much! This was such a great episode, it had everything you could ever want from a dragrace ep, hilarious quips, petty squabbles, a great design challenge, important personal stories & a killer lipsync. 

[genetic fail]

Ewww why is it a final 4 and why is Jada on there?!

Not Vivian getting the Utica critique

So so proud of Fierce! If she wasn’t such a villain, I’d say her chances of winning are much higher but it’s between Giselle and Kimmy (moreso Giselle) at this point.

And not there only being 9 episodes? Is there no reunion episode this time around?! That would be boring anyway since the drama of the season is already in the Top 4.

[Vagabond]

i want Fierce to win 

 

Kimmy ATE that lip sync though if she serves that in the finale she might have to win 

[Iceland]

Fierce is winning this season

[justlore]

Fierce FTW!

 

Giselle should've been BTM just for those ugly shoulders.

We haven’t had a villain winner since Violet! I hope it’s true

[NumbSoul]

I'm so sad the season is ending this week - I love these girls so much  

 

Another great episode - fun, entertaining, great challenge, great lipsync (from Kimmy).

I also think the judging was fair and every position was deserved.

 

What a fun Top4  I would've loved Legend Boom Boom over Jada, but she's a great queen too.

 

I think the crown is between Giselle and Fierce at this point. Can't see them giving it to Jada or Kimmy. 

Personally though, I'm still Team Kimmy, but Fierce is a close second pick!

[Hephaestus]

Whew Miss Fiercalicious is eating week after week, I’m so gagged by the way she stepped it up compared to the first episodes. Talk about peaking at the right time!

 

She had hands down the best and most consistent looks of the week and the one she made was very good and tasteful for a girl with little sewing skills. I’d love for her to pad sometimes though, her shape would be sickening.

 

I feel like Vivian’s looks were completely fine, even the third one. The Utica critique was unnecessary considering her looks usually go into the campy realm where it’s ok for her to model them in a certain way, whereas Utica was guilty of doing too much even when wearing something classy or high fashion.

 

Giséle and Jada did ok, but both had a bad/unfinished outfits. At least Giséle’s she made herself, but what excuse did Jada have for her awful second look? I don’t know who she’s friends with, but she hands down got the most payola this season.

 

The lip sync was great, I didn’t expect Vivian to turn it out like that. Kimmy did better, but I’m sad to see Vivian go. I love her humor and aesthetic, they feel true to herself and fully realized.

 

Gagged that they announced the last episode would be a top 4 like that. At this point it’s probably between Giséle and Miss Fiercalicious, but I’d love Kimmy to win. Realistically, it’ll be Giséle though.

Can you imagine the judging on Canada vs. The World?!

[lovewins]

Kimmy served, that lip sync was ******* incredible even the judges gave it the standing ovation it deserved. Kimmy is a class act. She didn't need any gimmick to deliver a powerful performance but just talent.

 

if the finale is a lip sync battle and the songs will be all upbeat, how can the other beat her?

Mess, I didn't think about that. I guess it won't be much different from Ru having favorites (aka predetermined winners) almost every season 

[mokitsu]

how did Jada get away with that?! Vivian was robbed

[Puttanesca]

Jada has no business being in the top 4 lol.

 

But omg Fierce is turning it out. Each look this week was perfection and the way the judges were clapping during her runways. 

[Claymore]

Fierce ATE that runway, we love to see it  Jaida had the best gender *** runway but she's mainly a hot mess.

[Relampago.]

Miss Fiercalicious’s Drag Race continues

[butterflymimi]

I need fierce to take the crown tbh, really loving her

Fierce is THAT *****

 

A winner

[loveisdead9582]

Kind of upset that they kept Kimmy and sent Vivian home. Vivian definitely had a better track record, and I don’t think her runways were as bad as Kimmy’s. Jaida looked great tonight. There were a few details I didn’t like on her final look but overall it was good! Fierce had a great runway night. I felt like her final look needed a bit more but overall she was very polished. Giselle’s runway was also great. I feel like she maybe deserved the win over Fierce but it was pretty close.
