Season 2 of Canada's Drag Race versus The World has reached its conclusion and it's been a fun watch!

While there was inevitably a fair bit of talking to get through in this final episode, the meat of it all was a lip-sync smack down to decide the winner.

Given the Top 4 that we ended up with, it was sort of primed for a Kennedy versus Lemon face-off in the final battle - as they seemed to be the two obvious choices for the crown. But fate had other plans.

Round 1 was Lemon versus Kennedy.
Round 2 was Cheryl versus Alexis.

The track for Round 1 was Hideaway by Kiesza. This is an iconic track with plenty of big moments that both Lemon and Kennedy took advantage. This was a great lip-sync battle - honestly you could have called it either way. The face that Lemon was decided as the winner pretty much decided who was going to win the season.

The track for Round 2 was So Many Men by Miquel Brown. This is a fun track with plenty of personality and both Cheryl and Alexis leaned into this. Again, you could have made a case for either of them to be declared the winner but the decision went in the favour of Alexis.

That left us with a final showdown of Lemon versus Alexis. The track was Love Can Move Mountains by Celine Dion. This is classic drag, a big ballad with plenty of power. Both Lemon and Alexis did the track - it was a strong performance from them both.

Ultimately, it was Lemon that was crowned the winner. In the context of this show, that makes total sense. Lemon is a talented queen who has really dedicated herself to drag as her career. She was due a title and this was clearly her year.

Congratulations, Lemon!

The Cast

Lemon

Representing Canada.

Final Ranking: She's done it - she's snatched the crown and is the winner of this season. Lemon's glow-up is a classic All Stars narrative arc - from her first appearance in the franchise she has worked hard and built her reputation as a talented performer, a server of looks, an accomplished actor, and everything else that you'd hope for in a top-tier drag queen. A well-deserved winner.

Alexis Mateo

Representing the US.

Final Ranking: Alexis is one of the OG Drag Race queens but she continues to put the work in and demonstrate why she is always at the top of her game. She stays ready.

Kennedy Davenport

Representing the US.

Final Ranking: Kennedy could easily have won this series. She really doesn't have anything to prove to anyone, but every time we get an opportunity to have Kennedy Davenport on TV is an opportunity worth taking.

Cheryl

Representing the UK.

Final Ranking: It's been a great season for Cheryl. She's once again demonstrated that she's a talented queen who makes good TV. This season further establishes herself as a global queen who thrives within the Drag Race universe.

Miss Fiercalicious

Representing Canada.

Final Ranking: Overall, it's been a pretty good season for Fiercalicious. She can be a bit sulky, but she's performed strongly in each challenge and has established herself as someone who can hold her own in a cast full of experienced queens.

Eureka

Representing the US.

Final Ranking: Eureka is a larger-than-life personality who is very good at drag and very good at Drag Race. You can rely on Eureka to give you good TV and she's once again delivered that.

Tynomi Banks

Representing Canada.

Final Ranking: It's been a bit of a redemption for Tynomi but it really feels that reality TV competitions aren't a great fit for her energy and personality - she seems much more at home performing on a stage.

Le Fil

Representing the UK.

Final Ranking: Le Fil brings an interesting perspective to drag and they will be a bit disappointed not to have been able to progress further in this competition.

La Kahena

Representing France.

Final Ranking: This was not the redemption storyline that La Kahena would have been hoping for - eliminated first, again. She is a double Pork Chop.
