tv show Canada's Drag Race | Season 5 | EP5: The One Where They Went 90's

[bestfiction]

Nearah's man 

 

Anyways, Denim demolished this. Probably the best makeover since... Naomi as4? 

Aside from that the judging is pretty questionable.. I'd actually give the safe spot to Melinda, she made a great dress for her partner. Venus' concept was quite contrived and Aurora could've done more with her partner.

Nearah ate the lipsync. Oh well, Mother Melinda won our hearts and that's the real win 

[NumbSoul]

Denim earned that win - easily the best this week.

 

The lipsync... I'm not even a Melinda stan like that, but I kinda thought she won  It was close though, so I'm not mad. Nearah really fought to be in the finale.

 

TEAM AURORA  Love that bish so much, praying she wins next week!

aurora isn't vapid? 

 

surprised they got rid of the only one with any winner charisma. closest I've seen a drag race finale in terms of who will win, which is kinda interesting ig

They didn't say Aurora was vapid

The fact that he saw those busted lips and thought to himself "this is the person I want to spend my life with" might be one of the biggest drag race mysteries

Right!? It's truly a mystery cause usually muscle gays only date other muscle gays. Maybe he has a prolapse fetish hence liking those lips.

yeah which is my point. idk how you could watch this season and think that she has any more depth than the other 3

They were both completely insufferable and the embodiment of Trixie Mattel's negative impact on drag.

Don’t blame Trixie for all other midwestern flop queens.

 

anyway- this is really one of the WORST top 4s we have ever seen on a franchise. I can’t see a single one of them holding their own in a winners season…or even an All Stars honestly haha.

 

for production to Rigga Morris sooo hard for a final 4 that is just so…LACKING. I don’t get it…

 

Aura is the only queen that has a well rounded package. She just isn’t that charismatic. And lacks a little bit of nerve. 

[genetic fail]

Weakest Top 4 in a while. Noone screams winner material and these 4 will be mid-outs in any other CDR season. It's a shame the Top 4 is exclusively young queens when we've had some of the best older queens this season (Melinda, Kiki and Kitten).

[PMM]

spoiler for next episode:

"love bugs are here"
boring
melinda and the queens come back and viewership increase 



side note: melida is the new jimbo - trust. same trajectory. fan favourite, great tv, questionable mug. jimbo had breast melinda has metalic eyes 




i love her

mte, came to say this. That being said, I'm team Aurora.

 

Nearah's man is so hot, but there's just no way that makeover would end up being good with his physique.

[Hephaestus]

Oh also, Melinda is a certified ICON and won that lip sync idc

Most boring top 4 ever 
Melinda robbed, I am not even going to bother watching the finale next week, so predictable.

[Draper.]

Venus will probably win and it will be SO UNDESERVED. I don’t get her good critiques this week: there was no family resemblance AT ALL, she was wearing a gown with a train and a completely different neckline. The wigs were a different color, and different style too. And the make up was different because the girl can’t paint a brow and they were both showing their real ones. And then they went on to say she killed it. I have to laugh. She would’ve been bottom 2 in any other makeover from any other season. 

 

Nereah, Melinda and Aurora didn’t do any better. This was probably the worst makeover challenge ever.

For the most part, the results were correct. The judges were clear in their brief that they wanted a transformation and not family resemblance.

[SitarHero]

Should have been Kitten's crown but Aurora will suffice for the performance ability alone. She's on some Jorgeous type of musicality in the way she moves Compare it to a Jax or somebody similar and you can just see the difference

[Rotunda]

If Venus wins she’ll instantly become a bottom 3 winner . Rooting for Aurora, but I feel like aside from this last episode she hasn’t been given a lot in the edit. Nearah and her man can return for another makeover challenge on a diff season.

Nearah's man from the neck up WAS a huge transformation, she can't change the size of his arms even if she added huge ass pads like they wanted. 

 

So if they were judging on THAT instead of design Venus still shouldn't have been in the top. Her red dress was awful.

i feel like Venus will win upcoming ep so she will have 2 wins. 
weridly i feel like she's pushed by production to win the whole thing since the begining

her whole thing will be 
win 1 and last ep 1 time safe high all the time

i was thinking the same thing - I realized once Meleyenda left that we were just left with 4 pretty similar young/pretty queens  

I so wanted Lena Dunham out this week but Mrs Dunham won it for her

[Scandalous]

yeah i guess i am rooting for Aurora out of the 4 but none of them make strong winners. i think Aurora is likeable but there’s still something that prevents her from having true Charisma, and she’s definitely lacking in the Uniqueness department 

[Both Sides Now]

That was a sweet episode. All of their relationships with their loved ones were special.
 

Denim’s mom almost made me warm to her until she started crying because the sewing machine broke. Does anyone else think her mom basically made her own dress? She said she couldn’t sew and suddenly she comes out with a gloved gown? That’s pretty difficult to believe. 
 

I agree with the sentiment that this is the weakest Top 4 in perhaps any franchise I’ve watched. They all lack charisma. 
 

I’m Team Aurora of course but it feels like Venus is taking it. After she spoke about being indigenous… idk it feels like they will give it to her. She doesn’t do drag though. 
 

It is wild that Nearah made it to Top 4 but she is a fierceeee lipsyncer. While Mother Melinda did great, it was over when Nearah started snapping to the beat.

[Antonini]

Aurora is the only possible option now that Melinda is gone. The rest of these flops dont deserve it tbh. I too wonder why the producers rigged it so hard for these flops. They probably thought they were cookie cutter enough to be marketable? Eh. 

[Rigalo]

It’s annoying too because besides Nearah I feel like this is the most “obvious” Top 4 and none of them really shone or did particularly well the whole season  just strange

[unino]

Aurora's  came in with so much potentials to really take the season by storm like i really expected lot more from her but she still did pretty well.

and it didn't help that

Venus is really kind of there getting praised while doing mediocre, she's like Kendall Jenner of drag race. 

Denim being cute as best with her 'weird kooky' that wasn't really that good and was very one noted. 

Nearah for only shined in her lipsyncs. (but still better than Venus and Denim because she's actually there to fight, to play the game and gave us really nice drama and tension)

so yup Aurora got this.
