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

[FAN]

Interesting season so far. Brooklyn seems way more relaxed and herself here finally which I love to see her growth as a host/judge. 
 

Week One: Boom Boom

Week Two: Kimmy

Weem Three: Jada 
 

Judging was weird. Should have been a Boom Boom/Kimmy joint win. 

[Dragonfly]

this episode had it all (except daddy Brad)

 

hilarious mini challenge / song assigning drama / Kaos opening up to Chelazon / the return of Branjie /

Fierce going through 67 emotions an episode / Gisele standing up for VanderPuss / some MESSY lipsyncs /

Lady Boom² proving she can do it all / Irma's irresistible little ass flopping around / Revealiana 2.0 /

Bombae's runway  Vivian's runway  Gisele's runway  Lady Boom²'s runway 

the clown winning the lipsync against the piñata / season 2 found left for dead, trampled in the dust

This was the first episode this season where the judging was just flat out wrong.  It’s a partner challenge, where you were being judged on chemistry and teamwork but then it was judged individually? Make it make sense! And even if it were to be a solo win KIMMY was right there!  
 

Fierce was only in the bottom for story purposes.  The b2 was obviously Kaos and Chelazon.  I guess che left she was the weakest this week so it’s “fair”

This is exactly how I feel about this episode!

 

It's so weird because there were so many great moments (mini challenge, song choice drama, runways) but the judging was completely wrong. Why did they even judge them separately when the bottom 2 (Kaos and Chelazon) was right there and in pair, ready to lip sync? Very very weird. Miss Fiercalicious and Bombae were nowhere near the the bottom 2, their performance was solid especially considering it was objectively the worst song to get out of the bunch.

 

I also don't agree with the top, Kimmy and Lady Boom Boom or Gisele and Vivienne deserved way more than Jada and Irma (they were actually my least favorite after Kaos and Chelazon). Kimmy and Lady Boom Boom had the best lip sync, but Gisele and Vivienne had the best runway (and it was kinda coordinated too), so it could've gone either way. I lived for the formers' performance though, it was amazing. Loved the challenge by the way, I'd love to see it again in the future.

 

This cast is great, they're really trying their best to serve some good TV (especially Miss Fiercalicious and Kimmy). Vanjie was a great addition to this episode and gave good advices too. More of this please!

Cute week, liked the challenge, the runway was nice, but the judging... eh.

 

I didn't gag for Jada's/Irma's performance.

It should've been another Kimmy win with Lady Boom Boom, Vivian, and Giselle in the top.

I wasn't mad about the bottom though. Fierce and Chelazon made sense. 

 

Glad Chelazon got to show her culture, but I do think it was her time. 

[ucanfma]

vivian and giselle performance was the most enjoyable for me I thought they are gonna win and they weren't even in the top

Kimmy and Boom showed the best dancing ability but it wasnt that satisfying for me but of course they are still deserved high placement

I dont know why Jada won but okay I guess

I like Kaos so Im happy she didnt lypsinc but it feel like her days are counting

Chezalon was a good contestant

[sunmimi imfurst]

Kimmy and boom boom ate that sorry. 
Irma and Jada weren’t nowhere near the top  

Giselle was also very strong but I think Viv was a bit flat compared to ha. Loved their runways too.

 

Loving Boom Booms aesthetic btw nice mix of high end fashion and camp. 

[khalyan]

I really liked Chelazon, sad she left.  

[willmcclure9]

Kimmy and Lady Boom²  

[genetic fail]

Jada Payola Hudson strikes again. Even Irma Gerd overshadowed her in the lipsync.

I'm glad we all agree that Kimmy shoulda had her 2nd win and Kaos lipsynced over Fiercalicious.

I agree. I hated her on the premiere because she was so busted and should've gone home over Halal Bae. But she really won me over this week. She's very eloquent and passion for sharing her culture is amazing. No wonder people resonate so well with her on TikTok.

[FOCK]

The judging was wack, but otherwise this was a really great episode! The mini challenge had me cracking tf up 

 

Of the million Ru franchises running, Canada just has something really endearing. I think it may partly be Brooke’s involvement, the great challenges & the cast not being afraid to just be themselves. I really appreciate that they’re getting actual Queens to guest judge too.

Boom Boom better win this. She's been great all three eps.

Kimmy too to be completely honest. They slayed the first three episodes and served TV henny!

Kimmy’s  first  outfit was basic and she knew that but yeah I’d like to see her in the top3 (and lose to LBB)

[Almodusa]

Jada  her and Irma & Gisele and Vivian were my favorite duos

[Gavin.]

Jada didn’t do bad at all. Really enjoyed her performance but how they chose her over Lady Boom Boom or Kimmy is a mystery

This isn't the Drag Race Holland thread sweetie

[aahaspider]

The word bUlLyInG being used and thrown around this episode by Gisèle and Jada towards Fierce due to her really just a being salty brat.  Calm down, ladies, Vivian is not somebody's little lost child.

 

Even with the not-so-great makeup, Bombae's runway look this episode was a SHOOT.  Kimmy was robbed this week of a second win. Kaos I think deserved that bottom two placement over her challenge partner.

 

I'm gonna miss Chelazon, ngl. The runway looks were never the best but her presence in the workroom popped more than most of the others.

That's what I really liked about Chelazon.  She had such a good IDGAF attitude so she was able to say shady things in the workroom but it never came off as mean.  Her presence reminded me of the early US seasons.

[Fetish for MiMi]

Kimmy deserved that 2nd win.. Jada was 4th at best... 

[Dekkan]

Kimmy & Boom Boom ROBBED.

[Puttanesca]

Sad to see Chelazon go. Loved her attitude! 

 

Really enjoying the season so far tho.
