Add to this murderers row Kimora Amours confounding interpretation ofB4-4s Get Down.
I must first explain the significance of Get Down to anyone who isnt a Canadian millennial.
They looked likeJersey Shores Cro-Magnon ancestors or whoever the Jewish Canadian equivalent of Pauly D is.
There was an air of menace, of derangement, hidden in their gelled spikes and aggro choreo.
Of course this white Y2K boy-band nonsense is far better suited to Gia.
Honestly, a drag king would probably do it far better justice.
But Kimora is resigned from the moment she gets bad feedback from the judges.
In the background, you’re free to see the other queens visibly shrugging and cringing.
The episode begins with Synthia gone, like her fellow charismatic letter-S queens Stephanie and Suki before her.
Pythia is bitter Icesis won last weeks ball challenge with her final design.
Good for you you really worked that underwear, she quips.
The maxi is a roast of Brooke Lynn, and everyones in danger.
Were not comedy queens, none of us, says Adriana, and its so true.
Kimora points out the issue with making Brooke the subject of a roast: Brooke dont smile.
And what jokes are there to make besides all the filler folderol weve already heard?
One by one, they rehearse their routines with a comedian named Emma Hunter, whos guest-judging this week.
Canada is full of genuinely famous comedic talent.
They couldnt get Nathan Fielder?
Kendall assigns the order and gives herself the opening slot.
The roast itself honestly exceeds expectations, knowing that none of these girlies are comedy queens.
Kendall glows through her opening act in a fun green lewk and a solid set.
I am not buying tickets to that show.
I want to go home.
I need an adult, Icesis says about Gias act.
Pythias set is also oops all crickets.
And then theres Icesis Coutures set, a.k.a.
the case for why Icesis should probably win this season ofCanadas Drag Race.The girls delivery is gold.
Can you imagine this pack of bulldog-looking heifers running around loose in the world?
she asks, gesturing to the competition.
They are the reason we spay and neuter our pets.
The winner gets Emma Hunter.
Thank you, Emma.
I hope your stay here was comfortable, whoever you are.
The ice of it all!
Kimora rounds out the proceedings.
Her stand-up style is YELLING, which might have been better received if she could make more jokes land.
Her read of Kendall If Drake in drag is your fantasy, look no further!
Runway category is Dungeons and Drag Queens, loosely interpreted as fantasy.
Standouts are Icesis as theeevil queen, all pomp and polish, and KimorasMaleficentplumage.
Shes a pink pony girl.
She saves herself from the bottom with this giddyap getup.
Before the lip sync began, Kimora said, Mentally, Ive left the building.
And now she has physically as well.
Stand-Oots
Is poppers a brand?
Adriana, writing her routine.
The homosexual mayor of Whoville.
The gay poodle of bitches.
Adrianas dress-rehearsal jokes didnt make sense on a linguistic level, but theydidmake me belly laugh.
Its a living, walking drag puppet.
