Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs. the World coming this November 18
The second season of Rupaul’s Drag Race: VS. The World is called Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs. the World. Unlike UK vs. the World, it will be on a streaming service in Canada called Crave. That means it’s no longer under BBC. BBC is in charge of Rupaul’s Drag Race UK and UK vs. The World. Game shows and reality shows on BBC do not have cash prizes. Drag Queens who competed in UK wins got badges for winning challenges. The prize is either a spot on Wowpresents Plus or a chance to sing a duet with RuPaul. Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs. the World is put on by Crave, which implies that sponsors are on the show. The Queens are competing for $100,000, a scepter, and a crown. Winners of challenges will get $5,000 or even more for each one they win.
You wont see an American fan of The Voice,Idol,Big Brother, ANTM and Got Talent fans watch the foreign versions of the show. It is the different case with fans of Rupaul’s Drag Race. Since all franchises around the world are available of the streaming service WowPresents Plus. Drag Race fans watches all the foreign versions because of easy access. So its not shocking an International version exists. Canada gets to have 4 representatives while USA, AND UK got two representative each. Down Under has a single representative from New Zealand.
UK vs the World is controversial because the front runners got eliminated way to early which leads to a lackluster finale of average queens.
In the Vs. The World format, The judges chooses a top 2 and bottom 2. The Top 2 Lip Syncs for the power to choose who to eliminate in the bottom 2. It is controversial because lead to the best drag queens getting eliminated early. The most talent Queen doesn’t win but the most strategic instead.
Icesis Couture who Won Season 2 of Canada decided to compete. She should have chosen All Winners because she will be a target by other Queens. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be making a special appearance. He makes history as the first head of State to appear in a Drag Race Franchise.
Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs. the World official cast
To the Fans of the American, UK and Australian version, Do not expect Rupaul to be here.
Drag Race Canada is the only English Language franchise not hosted by Mama Ru. Canada has laws that requires Canadian Game Shows and Reality shows to be hosted by Canadians. Canadian Drag Queen and runner up of US season 11 Brooklyn Hytes hosts the show. It will be awkward seeing her as a Judge because she competed with the 2 American Queens and now she judges them.
