The latest episode of 'Canada's Drag Race' gave us trash-talking queens dressed in garbage

The workroom was full of surprises this week on Canada’s Drag Race (Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on Crave). After Anastarzia Anaquway sashayed away in Episode 3, the queens were shook to see that their beloved Starzy did not leave them a lipstick mirror message—a first for the Drag Race franchise—and yeah, we get it. But as she told us last week, everything she needed to say had already been said, and you know the reigning Miss Black Continental at Large is always going to march to the beat of her own drum: "Okay, so it's tradition? I'll make a new one." Yaas, queen!Moving on...As the queens revisited last week's drama between BOA and Scarlett Bobo, a new not-so-civil war was a-brewin' because Montreal queen Rita Baga has had it, officially, with her sisters from the 6ix and their non-stop attention-seeking: “This is not Toronto’s Drag Race.” Mets-en![video_embed id='2001844']WATCH: Tynomi Banks shares her thoughts on that epic lip sync, and her elimination[/video_embed]But all was soon forgotten when the supersized Pit Crew arrived for the Mini Challenge to end all Mini Challenges: a memory game in which the competitors had to peek under the hood to see which Pit Crew pairs were wearing matching undies under their short-shorts. While Jimbo technically won, there were no losers in this Mini Challenge.

Reduce, reuse, recycle, runway!

Then, it was onto the main event. The ladies teamed up in groups of three to form their own fashion houses, and Mini Challenge-winner Jimbo got to decide which teams would be using paper, plastic or metal for their waste-free couture collections.Though the challenge was focused on building a unified collection of looks, Lemon, BOA and Priyanka all agreed they wanted to create very distinctive outfits while channeling an avante-garde, high fashion vibe as House of Rust. Lemon was out for redemption after landing in the bottom two during the first design challenge back in Episode 1 and used the steel wool from scouring pads to make a rose gold gown that looked nothing like what you'd use to remove tough food stains.Ilona Verley and Tynomi Banks let Jimbo take the reigns of Maison Papier since she had the most expertise as a costume designer for theatre and film. Though they were both fuming in the confessionals when Jimbo axed their showgirls idea to go with a recycling royalty vibe, Ilona and Tynomi ultimately deferred to her vision and paid for it during the panel.Before hitting the main stage with their looks, the queens got a crash course in runway walking with resident modeling legend Stacey MacKenzie. It was hilarious, and a little surprising, to see just how intimidated Priyanka was at first but Priy-Priy proved a quick study and was strutting like a supermodel in no time. Jimbo got some helpful pointers, too, and Kiara, Scarlett and Lemon proved to be naturals.Beloved Canadian designer and winner of Project Runway Canada Season 1 Biddell served as the guest judge and considering his expertise and eye for fashion, he was a fitting addition to the judges' table.La Maison Boraga (as in a portmanteau of Scarlett Bobo, Kiara and Rita Baga's names) served up a post-apopolokick collection using spray-painted plastic, reminiscent of LaShauwn Beyond’s look from Season 3 of Rupaul’s Drag Race. They definitely had the most cohesive collection, with edgy, Mad Max-esque makeup to match. Rita Baga’s look stood out in particular, as she payed homage to her past as a club kid who worked for legendary Montreal drag queen Mado Lamotte. The judges ate it up, and she won her second challenge, he first queen on Canada’s Drag Race to do so.

Overall, the judges criticized the lack of cohesion and sometimes-shoddy execution, while giving Lemon props for improving compared to her last design-challenge outfit.

Too Canadian

The judges were especially hard on Ilona Verley and Tynomi Banks, as they felt their paper looks were too costume-y and questioned why they agreed to dress as supporting characters to Jimbo’s show-stopping queen, which sent both queens into an emotional tailspin. Brooke Lynn Hytes admonished them for “being too Canadian” and pointed out being deferential and self-effacing wasn't going to earn either of them the title of Canada's Drag Race superstar.Ilona’s emotions nearly go the best of her when she and Tynomi were asked to lip-sync for their lives. She threatened to give up right then and there, tearfully explaining that she valued her friendships more than winning a challenge and didn’t want to compete against Tynomi, who was heartbroken to have landed in the bottom a third time. It was really touching to hear the judges and queens (including Tynomi!) encouraging her to perform and do her best. So it is Best Friend Race after all.But all the love between these two didn't stop them from getting into character and battling it out to Avril Lavigne's 2007 hit "Girlfriend." The two fought tooth and nail, playing off of each other and the combative energy of the song in what was possibly the best lip sync so far on Canada's Drag Race.In the end, Ilona came out on top, sending Tynomi home, and there wasn't a dry eye on the runway as she sashayed away like the regal queen she is.Next week, we'll get to see the queens impersonate celebs in Snatch Game, a famously make-or-break week in Drag Race her-story.
