Drag Race Canada Winner: [Spoiler] Wins Season 2 – Final Recap

The words “Queen of the North” were spoken so many times during Thursday’s final Canada’s Drag Race, we half expected Sansa Stark to appear on the main stage as Beetlejuice.

Unfortunately this was not the Game of Thrones intersection of our dreams. Instead, it found that the three remaining contestants—Icesis Couture, Kendall Gender, and Pythia—recorded and performed their own verses on Brooke Lynn Hytes’ single “Queen of the North,” which we didn’t know existed until we watched this episode. Viewed. (Looks like the Canada hostess picked up on some of Mama Ru’s marketing tricks.)

The final also welcomed the reigning Queen Priyanka, who joined the finalists in a series of self-directed photo shoots. It was actually really cute to watch Priyanka play with her potential successors. Like most good natured Canadians, she plays well with others.

Now let’s talk about odds: While each of these queens had the potential to win, Pythia went into the finals with a slight edge over her competition. She and Icesis have both won two challenges this season, but Pythia never made it into the bottom two, while Icesis had to lip sync multiple times for her life. Meanwhile, Kendall has one win to her name and only fell to the bottom once.

As for the queens’ great achievement, it was all a shrug of the shoulders. Their verses were fine, if not a little generic, and they all brought similar looks and vibes to the stage. It wasn’t “bad”, but it won’t go down in history next to “Read U Wrote U” and “Kitty Girl” either.

For their latest runway presentations, Icesis stepped out in a gorgeous, angelic white dress and added a wacky mouthpiece to keep things interesting; Kendall wanted to “show the skin I’m in” with an “elegant, edgy” look; and Pythia had everyone’s jaws on the ground when she emerged as the statue of a goddess straight from ancient Greece. (We didn’t think Pythia could top her previous looks ranging from two-headed glamor to a literal centaur, but this might have done it.)

But before the judges could reveal their decision, they had to watch the queens battle it out in another lip-syncing smackdown. After an impassioned trio performance of Celine Dion’s “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now”, Priyanka returned to the stage to crown… Icesis Couture!
