We Interviewed The Final 3 Queens On "Canada's Drag Race" And The Shade Rattle Was Shaking

"I will perform Beyoncé until I can't stand up anymore, until I'm as old as Icesis"

We've been recapping Canada's Drag Race all season long—

And we've been through a lot together. From deadly sins to a circus themed musical, it's been an amazing ride full of talented queens (and stunning looks from Brooke Lynn Hytes might I just add).

With the finale right around the corner, we got to chat with the sickening Top 3 of CDR2. Say hi to Kendall Gender, Icesis Couture and Pythia. And me, who is not in the Top 3 but dressed for the occasion anyway.

IT: I generally think this is one of the greatest seasons of Drag Race ever, like throughout all the franchises. So I just want to say a huge congratulations to you all. It’s a special season, and I’m glad so many people love it. 

KENDALL: Thank you so much. We felt it, too. While we were filming it, we really felt like we were part of something spectacular. So I'm glad it was translated.

IT:  Throughout the season, I've actually had the chance to talk to all of the queens that got booted off.

ICESIS: They sure did get booted off.

IT: Kicked to the curb. And I asked them all something I’ll ask you which is: what was the most gag-worthy moment of the season for you? 

KENDALL: So there were a couple of things. One was that we all had to lip sync to get our final spot in the top three. That blew my mind. We had no idea what was going on. We had no idea about the reunion. We had no idea our families were going to be on television. We had no idea Eve 6000 was going to be the way that she is. So, there you go. There's the recap. You're welcome. Reunion, family, Eve. Gag.

IT: Wait. I was going to ask this later, but I think we need to do it now. Can I see everyone’s Eve 6000 crying impression?

ICESIS: We honestly love Eve so much. She is the sweetest person in the whole entire world.

PYTHIA: I literally FaceTimed with her this morning. She's amazing.

KENDALL: She just is the way she is. And you gotta love it. You know what I mean? 

PYTHIA: Yeah. And also, you have to remember that it’s just TV. 

IT:  I have to say… when she sashayed away, her presence was missed.

ICESIS: The show completely changed.

Crave

IT:  This season had some truly incredible runway themes. What would your dream runway theme be?

ICESIS: Honestly, the Seven Deadly Sins theme was SUCH a good idea. There's just so much that you can do and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So that’s my answer. Also, because I won that episode. 

PYTHIA: Yes, I haven't forgotten!

KENDALL: If I could choose a runway theme I think it would be Night of 1000 Bodysuits, because something tells me I might be okay at it. But not Night of 1000 Beyoncé's. That would stress me out girl! 

PYTHIA: Oh, my God. I would love a mythology inspired runway. Not even just Greek though! Like, there are so many mythological creatures in different cultures. And I would love to see how different people interpret them. I think that'd be so cool. 

Crave

IT:  That would actually be so incredible. So another reason this season was amazing was because it was so fun to see you lip sync to songs that were incredible but also so… insane? Do you have a favourite song to perform right now?

KENDALL: Well, for me, it's always Beyoncé— 100%. I will perform Beyoncé until I can't stand up anymore, until I'm as old as Icesis.

ICESIS: Love you. 

KENDALL: Can I also just say. I think regardless of how wackadoodle all the lipsync songs were, I think one of the coolest songs that we had was “Get Down” by b4-4. Because girl, when we heard that song… we were gagged. 

ICESIS: Oh my god, when we got our music and I saw it was one of our songs, I said, even if I did well that episode— I will volunteer to do this song. 

PYTHIA: Me too. That week was the roast, and I was like… I obviously don’t want to lipsync but if I have to, I’ll do a boyband number. So iconic. 

IT: And like, not even Backstreet Boys or NSYNC. Like, really a B-side boyband. Pythia, do you have a favourite song to perform right now?

PYTHIA: I really love alternative pop divas like Kim Petras, Grimes,  Allie X. That’s my viewing party vibe right now. 

IT: You have to do a “Coconuts” number.

IT: Who was the trade of the season? 

ICESIS: I don't look at any of them like that, but if I had to choose—  it would be Kendall.

IT: Right. If you had to choose.

ICESIS: Yeah, If there was a gun to my head, I would say Kendall. 

KENDALL: Thank you. 

PYTHIA: I feel like Icesis and Kendall and Adriana are really, really cute. Suki is adorable too. The whole cast is adorable. Honestly, there's no single trade. We’re all trade! 

Crave

IT: Kendall, what was your favourite Pythia look this season?

KENDALL: Definitely the two-headed look. It just was one of the coolest things I had ever seen in drag. It was so spectacular. It's kind of funny because I was feeling confident that week. I was like, you know what? I feel like I did okay in the Rusical! I like my runway! I was feeling cute! But then this bitch starts to get ready and puts another head on. And I was like, never mind. I think we all know what's going to happen this week. 

Crave

IT: Pythia, what was your favourite Icesis look?

PYTHIA:  Honestly, I want to pay her to make me something, but my favourite was the evil queen look for the Dungeons and Drag Queen runway. It's just very up my alley. 

Crave

IT: And Icesis, What was your favourite Kendall look?

ICESIS: Bodysuit number five. No, I’m kidding. Kendall's show pony look was just so good and she looked beautiful. And I also like that she couldn't talk while wearing it.

IT:  What is your proudest moment this season?

PYTHIA: Oh, my God. Making it to the top three. 

KENDALL: Yeah that’s tea. 

ICESIS: The fact that we were able to just get on the show, and make it past the initial day was a proud moment. And then making it to the Top 3? That’s another level. 

KENDALL: And this has been going on since January— casting, filming, quarantine, everything! And we filmed every single episode. We did everything, and I feel so proud and happy.

IT:  No one else in the world has this shared experience except for you three. So it sounds incredibly special!

KENDALL: It’s trauma bonding.

Crave

IT:  So to be honest, the product placement this season really sent me to the moon. My favourite of all time was the Fabricland Wall. But I also have a huge spot in my heart for the Neutrogena Wet Wipe Wall. And also Rupaul saying “Shopper’s Drug Mart” in the intro. 

KENDALL: That is Canadian excellence. 

ICESIS: A sickening supply of Shoppers Drug Mart.

IT: Now, if you win Canada's Drag Race season two, what the hell are you going to buy at Shopper’s Drug Mart?

ICESIS: I get 100% of my makeup from Shoppers. Everything that I have is from there. 

KENDALL:  There was a time like in the beginning of at Bratpack— I left all my makeup at work, and I actually went to Shoppers and did my entire drag face there. And it was the beginning of drag so I would have looked ugly even if I had expensive makeup. But at least she was covered!

PYTHIA: I'm so sorry sweetie, but you can get groceries there. You can get body wash, toothpaste, a TV even. Honey, I’m set. 

KENDALL: Literally, and I want those points.

IT:  I wonder if you'll get the points too if you win the prize.

KENDALL: You know what? For the people that don't win, you should get 100,000 Optimum Points. That's my request.

IT:  That’ll probably only equal like $10 give or take. 

ICESIS: Not $10. That’s actually not okay! 

BuzzFeed / Via Isabella Torchia

IT: My last question for you all. And this one is an incredibly serious one: when is Under The Big Top coming to Broadway?

ICESIS: I just don't want it. I’ll do the lighting. I’ll carry the props. 

KENDALL: I would be 100% down to do a lipsync to it for sure. 

IT: Yes, I need that. 

ICESIS: I do have to say, Kendall, you sounded really good. 

KENDALL: I’m definitely not a singer, but I did try my best, so thank you. Like I said, until the bitch with the two heads came out— I was feeling okay.

The finale of Canada's Drag Race streams on Crave Thursday at 9 pm. Who are you rooting for to snatch the crown? Let us know down below!
