Call Me Mother
Call Me Mother is a reality television series, which premiered on OutTV in 2021. Hosted by "Entertainment Tonight Canada" reporter Dallas Dixon, the series is a drag competition which will see up-and-coming drag performers join one of three drag houses to compete in group challenges, with one drag artist eliminated each week until the winner of the competition is crowned the "First Child of Drag". The prize package for the winner includes: an amazing all-inclusive 7 nights stay for two at the Secrets Vallarta Bay Hotel in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, courtesy of Air Canada  Vacations, a year’s supply of B-Perfect Cosmetics, a year’s supply of Wella Professionals hair product and the chance to be the Wella Face of Pride for 2022, a consultation with leading LGBTQ management company Producer Entertainment Group and a single which will be produced and released by their recording label, PEG Records, a meeting with top tv and film agents at Clear Talent Group, the opportunity to be featured in an upcoming Daddy Couture Clothing campaign, and a cash prize of $25,000. The series is distinct from the "RuPaul's Drag Race" franchise in adding a  drag mother mentoring and coaching team aspect similar to "The Voice" or "The X Factor", and is also a fully inclusive competition featuring drag queens, drag kings, transgender and non-binary drag artists. The houses are led by established drag queens Peppermint (House of Dulcet), Crystal (House of Glass) and Barbada de Barbades (House of Harmonie). Farra N. Hyte, the drag mother of "RuPaul's Drag Race" competitor and "Canada's Drag Race" judge Brooke Lynn Hytes, and Quebec drag queen Miss Butterfly serve as "aunties", who provide additional support and feedback but do not directly "mother" their own teams . Hyte and Dixon were also the co-hosts of a weekly companion podcast which will include post-elimination interviews with the competing queens. Guests appearing over the course of the series, giving guidance to the competing queens in video chat sessions or serving as guest judges, included Adam All, Trixie Mattel, Vinegar Strokes and Matthew Camp. "Call Me Mother" was created by RedFlame TV, and produced in Canada by Go Button Media and RedFlame TV. It was shot in North Bay, Ontario in early 2021. The series premiered on October 25, 2021. The first season was won by Toddy, a  non-binary drag performer from Vancouver, British Columbia. The series was the highest-rated original production in OutTV's history. Two days after the first season finale, OutTV announced the renewal of the series for a second season. Contestant progress. Legend: Episodes. <onlyinclude></onlyinclude>
