Look — we all know Canada’s Drag Race Season 1 was the season. The drama, the talent, the lemony fresh shade... no other season even comes close. It gave us stars, it gave us memes, and most importantly, it gave us Priyanka — our queen of the North and queen of our hearts.
In honor of these absolute icons, we’re taking a stroll down memory lane to see where each queen ended up. From the first sashayed away to the grand finale, here's the official VOODEED rundown — starting with the first to go (pour one out, sis) all the way to Priyanka (buy her candle immediately).
12. Juice Boxx
From: Windsor, Ontario
Age Now: 32
Where Are They Now: Our sweet baby Juice Boxx had a literal panic attack on national TV — relatable. Since then, she’s become a beloved Twitch streamer, YouTuber, and podcast host (Semi-Qualified Queens, anyone?), charming fans with her gaming streams, interviews, and makeup tutorials. Still gorgeous. Still hilarious. Still that girl.
11. Kyne
From: Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario
Age Now: 26
Where Are They Now: Post-Drag Race, Kyne pivoted HARD into being a TikTok math queen — yes, math. She now boasts over 1.5M followers educating people about algebra while serving full fantasy. Who knew the real equation was Beauty + Brains = Kyne?
10. Tynomi Banks
From: Toronto, Ontario
Age Now: 43
Where Are They Now: Toronto’s ultimate dancing diva stayed booked and blessed. She modeled in a Roots campaign, appeared in Canada's Drag Race: Canada vs. the World, and continues performing internationally. Iconic? Always.
9. Anastarzia Anaquway
From: Toronto by way of the Bahamas
Age Now: 41
Where Are They Now: The pageant legend returned to her roots — dazzling stages across the U.S. and Caribbean, and living her best glamour-filled life. Honestly, she’s probably wearing a rhinestoned gown right now.
8. Kiara
From: Montreal, Quebec
Age Now: 27
Where Are They Now: Kiara kept the spotlight shining with acting gigs (Star Académie, hello!) and music videos, including a cameo in Priyanka’s bop Come Through. She’s also competed on Call Me Mother Season 2. She's booked, she’s busy, and she’s bilingual — we love that for her.
7. BOA (Bitch On Arrival)
From: Toronto, Ontario
Age Now: 29
Where Are They Now: Our chaotic queen dropped a music video (Gettin' It Done), stayed a fixture on the Toronto drag scene, and remains an outspoken mental health advocate. BOA = Beautiful, Outrageous, And still here.
6. Ilona Verley
From: Vancouver, British Columbia
Age Now: 29
Where Are They Now: Ilona, the pastel princess and proud Two-Spirit queen, became a major voice for Indigenous and queer visibility. They’ve walked runways, done fashion campaigns, and even graced the cover of Elle Canada. High fashion who? Oh right, it’s Ilona.
5. Lemon
From: Toronto by way of New York
Age Now: 29
Where Are They Now: Lemon became a full-on pop princess, dropping singles like Sweetie and Where Do We Go that actually slap. She also returned for Canada vs. the World (and was ROBBED). Somewhere, she’s still making the world a little more zesty.
4. Rita Baga
From: Montreal, Quebec
Age Now: 37
Where Are They Now: Mama Rita stayed a force. She hosted Drag Race Belgique, competed on Canada vs. the World, and released original music. She's basically the Céline Dion of Canadian drag now — only with better wigs (no offense, Céline).
3. Scarlett Bobo
From: Toronto, Ontario
Age Now: 34
Where Are They Now: Scarlett dropped an album (BOBO), appeared in drag documentaries, and kept the activism strong, advocating for LGBTQ+ rights all across Canada. She stays loud, proud, and unapologetically punk.
2. Runner-Up: Rita Baga (Again)
(No mistake here, she just really made it all the way to #2.)
1. WINNER: Priyanka
From: Toronto, Ontario
Age Now: 34
Where Are They Now: PRIYANKA IS A MEGASTAR. After snatching the crown, she became a TV host (What’s My Game?, FOMO), toured globally, dropped an EP (Taste Test), starred in Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs. the World, and even appeared in Drag Me to Dinner with Neil Patrick Harris. She’s officially mainstream famous now — and still somehow the most chaotic good energy on the planet.
BTW, you can literally bring a little Priyanka home with you.

Get it now, before it sashays away.
In Conclusion:
Canada’s Drag Race Season 1 wasn’t just a season — it was a cultural reset. Every queen brought something special, from Juice Boxx's adorable meltdown to Priyanka’s megawatt superstardom. Honestly? We’re still recovering.
Now go rewatch Season 1, light your Priyanka candle, and remember: Who ready to party?
