In Canada’s Drag Race All Stars S1E2 Song of the Summer, the queens returned to the werkroom for a heated debrief and a revealing vote count: four votes for Juice, two for Jackie, and none for Nearah. Priyanka ran a World Cup, themed mini-challenge introduced by Canadian soccer Olympic gold medalist Julia Grosso; Nearah saved all ten shots to win the mini and CA$2,500. Rebecca Black served as the episode’s guest judge and the maxi-challenge split the queens into two girl groups, with Jada picking the song Body Tea while Nearah’s team performed Diva Down. Alliance dynamics surfaced in the voting: Aurora explained she did not vote for Nearah because Nearah wanted to lip-sync, Sami voted for Jackie out of empathy for feeling like an outsider, and Jada acknowledged voting with her heart. Tensions carried into Untucked as Nearah apologized for trying to expose alliances early and Makayla warned Jada against sentimental voting. The episode left Juice as the queen who received the plurality of votes and amplified fractures among the remaining contestants ahead of the next challenge.
