First in the workroom is Priyanka from Toronto, serving Riddlerthe house down.
Pri gives great talking head; no doubt shell get the narrator edit this season.
We appreciate prop work!
She immediately tries to start something with Priyanka, suggesting that half of her followers are probably bought/fakeon sight.
To anyone who was worried a CanadianDrag Racewould be too polite: that wont be a problem.
Kiara from Montreal is next, and shes so young and gorgeous I damn near passed out.
Her main weakness is shit, Im flawless, sorry.
Shes right and she should say it.
Next up is Juice Boxx serving Philadelphia Cream Cheese Angel (were those commercials just a Canada thing?)
from Essex Ontario, live in Toronto.
Shejuicesher entrance pose for longer than most, mostly because she gets her rhinestone bangle caught on her fishnets.
Anominous portent of things to come?Maybe.
Her bio says shes from East York, which is just a borough in Toronto.
(Noticing a pattern yet?)
Anastarzia is here to represent the pageant queens, and shes got the titles to back it up.
In walks Lemon, wearing alessdraggy version of Rihannas 2017 Met Gala yellow gown.
Next we have Scarlett BoBo from say it with me Toronto!
Anastarzia calls her weird as hell, so the pageant versus edgy queen battle lines have been drawn!
Attention, fives, Kyne is next to arrive.
Is KyneDrag Races first bona fide TikTok queen?
Shell have to prove that shes more than just her huge YouTube presence.
Then again, they dont call her the dancing diva of the Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge tri-city area for nothing.
The Toronto queens are shaking because BOA is messsssyyyyy.
Shes shaping up to be the udder-dog of the season.
Rita Baga of Montreal walks in next, and the word that comes to mind isprofessionalism,darling.
Were not even ten minutes into this season and she has front-runner written all over her.
Jimbos up next, looking like an unbeatableCupheadboss level in the best way possible.
Jimbos a star, and every second shes onscreen feels like a gift.
Bringing up the derriere is Tynomi Banks from Toronto, bringing us ABAB rhyming structure.
Shes flawless, gorgeous, hilarious, and lovable.
Her name is a cross between Tyra and Naomi, and it feels correct.
Kyne wins the mini challenge, but Jimbo wins the race with herscream heard round the internet.
The box labelled Muskokurrr was the second (serving staying with your rich friend onLake Joe realness).
(If you know, you know.)
Lemon doesnt know what any of the Jock Scraps in her box actually are.
Ilonas the first Two-Spirit queen onDrag Race,and weshallbe stanning.
On the mainstage, we say bye, Felicia, hi, Elisha to Elisha Cuthbert.
Kiara serves the Oz-ian scarecrow sidekick toYvie Oddlys lion.
Jimbo is adorable serving 645 working pockets, but I cant find my bus fare!
look, Jimbo, andRita Baga.
Its a fairly meh LSFYL, with neither queen out lipsyncingTom Hanks.
And thats a wrap on the first episodeDrag Racesscrappy, lovable drag daughter to the North.
And next week: Heritage Minutes!
Stand-Oots:
BOA saying, Splits.
I do none of it, made my mom laugh out loud.
Anne of Green Gables.
I dont know her, Ive never met her mademelaugh out loud.
Stacey giving the queens a Jamaican English greeting was the most gloriously Torontonian thing about the episode.
Her tuck isseparatiste.Vive la Drag Race libre!
What do we get?
So this Babadook bitch, shes gonna walk it down, baby.
Kiara, I love you.
