Canada's Drag Race (S5 - Nov 21)

I’ve just started Season 4 and based off the first episode I’m really not impressed with this cast. They all seemed to shout over one another and it feels like there is twenty of them when there is only ten. I’m praying the rest of the season improves.

It does improve. A lot. Don't worry!

Ohhhh just you wait!!! So excited for yewww!
 
Seasons 2 and 3 are some of my favourite casts in the entire franchise. 4 didn’t have the same chemistry but the girls in the latter half are pretty undeniable.

I am once again asking for a Canada only All Stars. There’s enough star power and worthy winners for two seasons at least.
 
I enjoyed season 4 but it was easily the weakest. Malinda’s drama was the clear highlight and the lip sync smack down episode was a huge moment, but I think the winner being someone who kinda coasted through left it with a bit of a meh feeling. Not too much against Venus though; they’re perfectly solid drag queen.

Season 1 is still the one for me. Season 2 onward is objectively more polished but was there even a single dud on Season 1? No ma'am. They were all unhinged.

I would like Season 2 more if Kendall Gender did better because I am her one and only stan on here nn.
 
I was entertained throughout the season and the queens themselves were very watchable, but this wasn’t the best group of queens for Drag Race as a competition. I did struggle through some of the challenges; that acting/improv challenge and Snatch Game were terrible. The Rusical was better but there have been stronger ones in recent memory. And Venus winning over Aurora just wasn’t a satisfying end for me. I’m not saying she was completely undeserving, but I felt Aurora was the stronger competitor overall.
 
I've enjoyed every season but I'm surprised 4 seemed to get a more lukewarm reception. Granted it's the only season I binged so that may impact how I engaged with it but I thought it was the second best after 2 (which granted is in a distance first place). Venus just had it, she had stronger competition late in the show compared to Icesis but I think the win was pretty indisputable overall.

This is easily the most consistent of the installments, I genuinely look forward to it in the same way I did during the peak years of US Drag Race.
